TITLV70950DBZR
Overview
The TLV70950DBZR is a low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator from Texas Instruments that provides a fixed 5.0V output. It supports a wide input voltage range up to 30V while maintaining a low quiescent current of 3.2 microamps, making it suitable for high-voltage battery applications. The device is housed in a compact SOT-23-3 package and delivers up to 150mA of output current with integrated over-current protection.
Why Choose This Part
The primary advantage is the combination of a high 30V maximum input voltage and an ultra-low quiescent current of 3.2 microamps. This allows the regulator to remain permanently connected to a battery source without significant drain. Additionally, its small SOT-23 footprint and requirement for minimal external components help reduce PCB area in space-constrained designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing with the TLV70950DBZR, place a ceramic input capacitor of at least 0.1 microfarads close to the VIN pin and an output capacitor of at least 1.0 microfarad to ensure stability. Verify the thermal dissipation of the SOT-23 package if operating at the 30V maximum input with a full 150mA load to avoid exceeding the 125 degree Celsius junction temperature. Evaluation can be performed using generic SOT-23 breakout boards or custom prototyping PCBs.
