The TPS799 low-dropout (LDO) regulator combines the high performance required of many RF and precision analog applications with ultra-low current consumption. High PSRR is provided by a high-gain, high-bandwidth error loop with good supply rejection at very low headroom (V_IN – V_OUT). A noise-reduction pin is provided to bypass noise generated by the band-gap reference and to improve PSRR, while a quick-start circuit quickly charges this capacitor at start-up. The combination of high performance and low ground current also make this device an excellent choice for portable applications. This device has thermal and overcurrent protection, and is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C.

The TPS799 also features inrush current protection with an EN toggle start-up, and overshoot detection at the output. When the EN toggle is used to start the device, current limit protection is immediately activated, restricting the inrush current to the device. If voltage at the output overshoots 5% from the nominal value, a pulldown resistor reduces the voltage to normal operating conditions, as shown in the Section 7.2.
