TPS7A8101
SBVS179B – DECEMBER 2011 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
TPS7A8101 Low-Noise, Wide-Bandwidth, High PSRR,
Low-Dropout 1-A Linear Regulator
1 Features

3 Description
The TPS7A8101 low-dropout linear regulator (LDO)
offers very good performance in noise and power-
supply rejection ratio (PSRR) at the output. This LDO
uses an advanced BiCMOS process and a
PMOSFET pass device to achieve very low noise,
excellent transient response, and excellent PSRR
performance.
The TPS7A8101 device is stable with a 4.7-μF
ceramic output capacitor, and uses a precision
voltage reference and feedback loop to achieve a
worst-case accuracy of 3% over all load, line,
process, and temperature variations.
This device is fully specified over the temperature
range of T
J
= –40°C to 125°C and is offered in a 3-
mm × 3-mm, SON-8 package with a thermal pad.

DESCRIPTION
Driving this pin high turns on the regulator. Driving this pin low puts the regulator into shutdown mode.
Refer to the
Shutdown
section for more details. EN must not be left floating and can be connected to IN
if not used.
This pin is the input to the control-loop error amplifier and is used to set the output voltage of the device.
Ground
Unregulated input supply
Connect an external capacitor between this pin and ground to reduce output noise to very low levels.
The capacitor also slows down the V
OUT
ramp (RC softstart).
Regulator output. A 4.7-μF or larger capacitor of any type is required for stability.
