ZHCSMC2V September 2003 – September 2024 TPS736
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS736 requires an input voltage of at least 1.7 V to function properly and attempt to maintain regulation. If the device output voltage is greater than 1.5 V when the input voltage is at 1.7 V, the device is operating in dropout and regulation cannot be maintained. Because of the NMOS architecture used in the TPS736, the dropout voltage is not a strong function of the input voltage.
When operating the device near 5.5 V, take care to suppress any transient spikes that may exceed the 6.0-V absolute maximum voltage rating. The device should never operate at a dc voltage greater than 5.5 V.
