TLV733P Capacitor-Free Low-Dropout Regulator

Texas Instruments TLV733 series of low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) are ultra-small, low quiescent current LDOs that can source 300 mA with good line and load transient performance. These devices provide a typical accuracy of 1%.

The TLV733 series is designed with a modern capacitor-free architecture to ensure stability without an input or output capacitor. The removal of the output capacitor allows for a very small solution size, and can eliminate inrush current at startup. However, the TLV733 series is also stable with ceramic output capacitors if an output capacitor is necessary. The TLV733 also provides foldback current control during device power-up and enabling if an output capacitor is used. This functionality is especially important in battery-operated devices.
