Fixed 5V LDO for automotive power rails
The Texas Instruments TPS78450QDBVRQ1 is a single-output, positive, fixed 5V LDO voltage regulator rated for 300mA continuous output. It is qualified to AEC-Q100, with a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, making it a fit for under-hood and engine-bay electronics where ambient heat is high and supply rails must stay clean. The part integrates current limit, over-temperature protection, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO), plus a soft-start and enable pin for sequenced power-up. PSRR measures 60dB at 1kHz, rolling to 30dB at 1MHz — enough to reject alternator ripple and switching-converter noise on a 5V rail feeding an MCU or sensor interface.
PSRR across frequency — what 60dB at 1kHz means for the load
PSRR is 60dB at 1kHz and 30dB at 1MHz.
SOT-23-5 package — board footprint and thermal
Housed in a SOT-23-5 package. The 300mA output at 5V with a 6V input dissipates roughly 300mW.
