(1)Component qualification in accordance with JEDEC and industry standards to ensure reliable operation over an extended temperature range. This includes, but is not limited to, Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST) or biased 85/85, temperature cycle, autoclave or unbiased HAST, electromigration, bond intermetallic life, and mold compound life. Such qualification testing should not be viewed as justifying use of this component beyond specified performance and environmental limits.

The TPS736xx-EP family of low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulators uses a new topology—an NMOS pass element in a voltage-follower configuration. This topology is stable using output capacitors with low ESR and allows operation without a capacitor. This family also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse current) and ground-pin current that is nearly constant over all values of output current.

The TPS736xx-EP uses an advanced BiCMOS process to yield high precision while delivering low dropout voltages and low ground-pin current. Current consumption, when not enabled, is under 1µA and ideal for portable applications. The low output noise (30µVRMS with 0.1µF CNR) is ideal for powering VCOs. These devices are protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.
