TPS74001DGKT

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

The TPS74001DGKT is a single-output, fixed-voltage low-dropout linear regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides a maximum output current of 1.5 A with a fixed output voltage of 1.2 V. The device operates within an input voltage range of 1.2 V to 6 V and features a typical dropout voltage of 100 mV at full load. It is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and supports surface-mount installation. The regulator functions across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, with a quiescent current of 2 mA.

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

Verify the specific suffix 'DGKT' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging variant when ordering. Confirm that the fixed 1.2 V output aligns with target circuit requirements, as adjustable versions exist within the same family. Ensure compatibility with VSSOP-8 footprint dimensions during PCB layout. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling requirements prior to assembly.

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

Select this component when a fixed 1.2 V rail is required with up to 1.5 A capability. Consider the TPS74001 series for its ability to handle dual input voltages, offering design flexibility. Compare against adjustable variants if voltage precision needs tuning. Evaluate thermal performance in the VSSOP-8 package relative to expected ambient temperatures and heat dissipation constraints.
