TPS709: Requesting for Replacement

Part Number: TPS709

Hello,

We are using TPS70933DBVR in one of our circuit, But the maximum output current from this LDO is 150mA. Please suggest a replacement which has output current of 500mA with the same package or very little modification.

  • HI Kiran,

    What is your Vin and Vout for your application?

    Also note, any LDO in a SOT-23 package will have some thermal challenges. So please pay attention to your nominal and peak power dissipation when selecting a linear regulator. For example, in a SOT-23 package, the TJA might be ~240C/W. What this means is in an application going from 5-3.3V at 500mA the power dissipation would be (5-3.3)*0.5 or 850mW. This times TJA is the rise of the regulators junction over ambient in this case it would be 0.85W*240C/W=204C!.

    Regards,

  • Hello John,

    Vin would be within range of 5-10 VDC. We have requirement of 5V input and 3.3V output. WE are okay if we need to change the package please suggest a suitable LDO with output current of around 1A.


    Thanks,
    Kiran. A
  • Hi Kiran,

    We have several LDOs that may fit your application needs.  The easiest way to narrow our available LDOs to those that will fit your application is by using the parametric search.  I have inputted your stated application requirements (Vin max greater than or equal to 10 V, rated current greater than or equal to 1 A, fixed Vout of 3.3 V) here.

    As John mentioned, you will want to keep thermals in mind when selecting which package to use.  Each datasheet provides a thermal information table to help you with determining if a device/package will work in your application from a thermal perspective.

    Very Respectfully,

    Ryan
