TPS74801 Load Capacitor &Function

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS74801

Hi

My Customer has questions about TPS74801.Please cooperate.

Will the Load capacitor of about 2000uF.

Q1
No problem?
Also, is this Device is possible to add how much max output Load capacitor?

Q2
TPS74801 or would you have the Function of "Pre-Bias"?

Regard

T Kishi

  • Hello T Kishi,

    That is a relatively higher amount of capacitance than we usually use with our LDOs, what are you trying to achieve?

    Regarding Question 1:

    Even though the device might be stable, there are other issues that might arise from using such a big capacitor such Inrush current and longer than usual VOUT rise time.

    Regarding Question 2:

    If you a referring to the sequencing of VBIAS, as the datasheet specifies "VIN, VBIAS, and VEN can be sequenced in any order without causing damage to the device. However, for the soft-start function to work as intended, certain sequencing rules must be applied."

    If you are referring to biasing your VOUT with a higher voltage it would not be recommended because this device does not have reverse current protection, however, you can add external diodes to accomplish this function.

  • Hi Victor

    Thank you for reply.

    We try to check that the customer is attempting.
