1 A LDO with ultra-low dropout and high PSRR
The TPS7A1485PYBKR from Texas Instruments is a single-output positive LDO that delivers 1 A continuous current with a fixed output voltage of 0.85 V. Its maximum dropout voltage is just 99 mV at full load, meaning the input rail needs only about 0.95 V to maintain regulation — critical for low-headroom rails like those fed from a 1.2 V or 1.8 V supply bus. Power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) is 80 dB at 100 Hz, rolling off to 33 dB at 1 MHz. This profile means the LDO effectively filters low-frequency ripple from a switching pre-regulator but passes higher-frequency noise above a few hundred kHz — a consideration when the input comes from a fast-switching buck converter without additional post-filtering.
Quiescent current, protection, and package
Quiescent current is 5.7 µA typical, with a maximum supply current of 620 µA. The low Iq makes this LDO suitable for always-on or battery-backed rails where standing current must stay under 10 µA. Built-in protection includes over-current and over-temperature shutdown, plus a current-limit and enable control feature. The device operates over a junction temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C, covering industrial and automotive ambient requirements. Packaged in a 6-pin DSBGA (0.67 x 1.12 mm), the TPS7A1485PYBKR is a surface-mount device suited for space-constrained PCBs. The small footprint demands careful PCB layout — the exposed die-attach pad must be soldered to a thermal land on the board to achieve the rated current and dropout performance.
