Dual-rail LDO for mixed-signal noise budgets
The TLV7111833DDSER: This pair matches the common core-and-I/O voltage split for a small MCU or mixed-signal IC — one LDO powers the digital core, the other the analog or GPIO supply, sharing a single input capacitor and enable pin. The PSRR profile — 80 dB at 10 Hz rolling off to 50 dB at 100 kHz — tells you where this regulator earns its keep. At audio-band frequencies the rejection is high enough to keep switching-ripple from a preceding buck converter off a sensitive ADC reference or audio codec supply. Above 100 kHz the rejection drops, so the upstream filter design matters if your noise spectrum peaks in the hundreds of kilohertz.
Dropout, quiescent, and protection — the operating envelope
Maximum dropout on the 3.3 V output is 0.2 V at 200 mA load. That means the input rail must stay above 3.5 V to maintain regulation at full current — a 3.6 V lithium cell near end-of-discharge is marginal; a 5 V rail has comfortable headroom. Protection features cover overcurrent, overtemperature, short-circuit, and undervoltage lockout. The UVLO threshold keeps the outputs off until the input rail is high enough to regulate cleanly — prevents brownout glitches during power-up sequencing. The thermal shutdown threshold is not specified in the brief, but the -40 to +125 °C junction-temperature range means the die can operate in an engine bay or hot enclosure as long as the board-level thermal resistance stays within the package's dissipation limits.
The 6-WSON (1.5x1.5 mm) with exposed thermal pad demands a PCB layout that treats the pad as the primary heat path. Without that thermal connection, the junction temperature rises faster than the 200 mA per channel rating suggests, especially when both LDOs are loaded simultaneously in a warm ambient. The enable pin lets the system power down one or both rails without dropping the input — useful for sequencing or sleep-mode power gating.
Lifecycle and compliance status
ROHS3 compliant, so it meets the current EU exemption-free standard. No official successor or pin-compatible alternate is documented; the part is the current design-in choice for this dual-rail fixed-voltage combination.
