3 V fixed LDO for noise-sensitive and extended-temperature rails
Operating temperature spans -40 to 125 °C, which puts it into automotive under-hood, industrial motor-drive, and outdoor telecom enclosures — not just bench-grade commercial gear.
Protection set and control — what is built in
The TPS76130DBVT packs overcurrent, overtemperature, reverse polarity, and transient voltage protection. That saves a few external diodes and a PTC on the board — especially relevant for reverse-battery scenarios in automotive or field-powered sensors where the connector can be plugged in backwards. An Enable pin lets the system micro put the regulator into shutdown, dropping the supply current to near zero when the load is idle.
Housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (SOT-753), the part takes up minimal board area. The supplier device package is SOT-23-5, a common footprint shared across many TI low-dropout regulators.
TI lists the TPS76130DBVT as Active. That makes it safe to qualify into a new BOM or sustain an existing production line without worrying about a sudden discontinuation.
