TPS780xxEVM-301
This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS780xxEVM-301 evaluation
module (EVM). This EVM demonstrates the Texas Instruments TPS780330220 ultra low-power, low
dropout (LDO) regulator with pin-selectable, dual-output voltage levels. The TPS780330220 supplies up to
150 mA of output current at a pin programmable output voltage of 3.3 V (V
SET
= low) or 2.2 V (V
SET
=high)
from a 2.2 V to 5.5 V input source. See the TPS780330220 data sheet (
) for definitive device
specifications. This EVM user’s guide includes setup instructions, schematic diagram, bill of materials
(BOM), and PCB layout drawings.

The TPS780xxEVM-301 evaluation module (EVM) assists designers in evaluating the operation and
performance of the TPS780330220 low dropout regulator (LDO). This LDO provides up to 150 mA of
output current at a pin-programmable output while maintaining ultra-low quiescent current (I
Q
=500 nA).
The board features the small 2 mm
×
2 mm six-lead SON package (DRV) and the TSOT23-5 (DDC)
package for small solution size.
