SBVS484 June 2025 TLV7A03
PRODUCTION DATA
For this design example, the 1.2V TLV7A03 is selected. A Li/MnO2 coin cell is used, thus a 1.0µF input capacitor is recommended to minimize transient currents drawn from the battery. Use a 1.0µF output capacitor for excellent load transient response. Keep the dropout voltage (VDO) within the TLV7A03 dropout voltage specification for the 1.2V output voltage option. This voltage level keeps the device in regulation under all load and temperature conditions for this design. Use the recommend 1µF input and output capacitor. Coin cells typically have output resistance values equal to several 10s of ohms, depending on capacity, temperature, and state of charge. The very small ground current consumed by the regulator maintains a high current efficiency as compared to the load current consumed by the system. This efficiency is depicted in Figure 7-5, which allows for long battery life. Equation 6 calculates the current efficiency (Iη) of this system.
