TPS7A4101: TPS7A4101DGNR

Part Number: TPS7A4101

Tool/software:

Hello Team, 

Greetings for the day! 

We are planning to use LDO "TPS7A4101DGNR" for 10V regulation from Input supply range of 13V to 35V. We are not clear on the following statement for the total feedback resistance. Could you please eloborate more in details. If it is summation of feedback resistance value then it is not matching with design generated from TI webbench, where we can see total value of feedback resistors (R1+R2) is higher than 500E. Please help to confirm understanding to avoid issue in design. 

Your quick reply will be highly appreciated. 

Regards,

Nimesh 

  • Hello Nimesh,

    The suggested 500 KΩ feedback resistance was calculated from the design example parameters as described in table 2. In the example, the intended output voltage is 5v. Using equation 1 as the starting point, Vout / (R1 + R2) must be equal or greater than 10 μA. Solving for (R1 + R2) with the 10 μA constraint and the 5v as the expected output, we get the 500 KΩ for the feedback network. In your design case, if you want to set your output voltage as close as possible to 10v, you can use a combination of commercially available resistors (R1 and R2) as shown in the table below. Please note that you must take into account the power dissipation thru the pass device and that the internal die temperature does not exceed 125 C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance is 66.7 C per watt, so try to maintain the power dissipation low in order to prevent thermal shutdown.
