TPS71202DRCTG4

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The TPS71202DRCTG4 is a dual-channel low-dropout linear regulator from the Texas Instruments TPS712 series. It features two adjustable positive outputs, each capable of delivering up to 250 mA. The device operates with an input voltage range up to 5.5 V and provides output voltages adjustable from 1.2 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum dropout voltage of 125 mV at rated load and a typical quiescent current of 285 µA. It incorporates power-good and enable control features alongside protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown, reverse polarity protection, and under-voltage lockout. The component is housed in a 10-VSON (3x3 mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal dissipation.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix G4 indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free construction per Texas Instruments standards. Confirm the DRCT designation corresponds to the 10-VSON package and cut-tape or reel packaging options available from authorized distributors. Ensure the ordering part number matches the specific output configuration and package variant required for your design.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated or coupled low-noise supplies are required within a 5.5 V input limit. The adjustable output range allows customization for various logic families. Consider the 250 mA per channel current capability against total system load requirements. The exposed pad thermal design necessitates adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation during high-load operations.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the TPS712 family of ultra-low noise LDOs designed for precision applications. The TPS71202 specifically offers dual channels, distinguishing it from single-channel variants like the TPS71219. The DRCTG4 suffix denotes the surface-mount VSON package, RoHS-compliant manufacturing, and tape-and-reel shipping format commonly used in automated assembly processes.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include TPS71202DRCR and TPS71202MDRCTEP. Cross-family replacements may require verification of pin compatibility and noise specifications. Always consult the latest datasheet for any pin-to-pin compatible alternatives offered by Texas Instruments.
