LOW INPUT VOLTAGE, CAP FREE 150-mA
LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
150-mA LDO
The TPS721xx family of LDO regulators is available
in fixed voltage options that are commonly used to
Available in 1.5-V, 1.6-V, 1.8-V Fixed-Output
power the latest DSPs and microcontrollers with an

equipment to PC peripherals. The family features
operation over a wide range of input voltages (1.8 V

operation, these regulators can be operated directly
from two AAA batteries. Also, the typical quiescent

during normal operation and 1 µA in shutdown mode.
These regulators can be operated very efficiently and,

SMPS Post Regulation
This family of regulators is particularly suited as a
Internet Audio
portable power supply solution due to its minimal
board space requirement and 1.8-V minimum input
voltage. Being able to use two off-the-shelf AAA
batteries makes system design easier and also
reduces component cost. Moreover, the solution will
be more efficient than if a regulator with a higher
input voltage is used.
