8.1 Application Information

The TPS715 family of LDO regulators is designed for battery-powered applications and is a good supply for low-power microcontrollers (such as the MSP430) because of the device family low IQ performance across load current range. The ultra-low-supply current of the TPS715 device maximizes efficiency at light loads, and the high input voltage range and flexibility of output voltage selection in the adjustable configuration and fixed output levels makes the device an optimal supply for building automation and power tools.
