Introduction
The Texas Instruments TPS7A3301EVM-061 EVM helps design engineers to evaluate the operation and
performance of the TPS7A33xx family of linear regulators for possible use in their own circuit applications.
This particular EVM is preconfigured to output
–
15 V and contains a single linear regulator (LDO) with
internal current limit and thermal shutdown protection. The TPS7A33xx family of low-dropout regulators
allows input voltages from
–
3 V to
–
36 V and can be adjusted to any output voltage between
–
1.2 V and
–
20 V by only changing a resistor value in accord with the given equation. The regulator, including
external components, is capable of delivering up to 1 A to the load depending on the input-output power
dissipation across the part. The TPS7A33xx has been optimized for ac performance, including PSRR and
load transient response, using capacitors rated over the full voltage range of the regulator. The
TPS7A33xx family is available in a TO220-7 KVT bent-lead package.
