The TPS76625D is a high-performance, low-dropout linear voltage regulator designed by Texas Instruments, tailored for applications requiring a low voltage supply with minimal power loss. This device is capable of delivering a continuous output current of up to 250mA while maintaining a low dropout voltage, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated devices, portable applications, and any system where power efficiency is critical.

Key Features

• Output Voltage: The TPS76625D provides a fixed output voltage of 2.5V, which is ideal for powering low-voltage logic and mixed-signal devices.
• Low Dropout: With a typical dropout of just 85mV at full load, this LDO helps in maximizing battery life and improving system efficiency.
• High Accuracy: The output voltage is accurate to within 2%, ensuring reliable and consistent power delivery to sensitive components.
• Thermal Protection: The device includes an over-temperature protection feature that shuts down the regulator to prevent damage from overheating.
• Low Quiescent Current: The TPS76625D has a low ground pin current (quiescent current) typically around 85µA, which reduces standby power consumption.
• Stable with Low ESR Capacitors: This regulator is stable with ceramic capacitors, which have lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) than tantalum or aluminum electrolytic types, providing improved transient response and less noise.

Applications

The TPS76625D is well-suited for a variety of applications, including but not limited to:

• Portable Devices
• Mobile Phones
