SBVS054K November 2004 – June 2025 TPS730
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS730 legacy chip requires a 0.1μF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the device, for stability and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A higher-value input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated or the device is located several inches from the power source.
The TPS730 new chip requires a 1μF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the device, for stability and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A higher-value input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated or the device is located several inches from the power source.
Like most low-dropout regulators, the TPS730 requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 2.2μF. Any 2.2μF or larger ceramic capacitor is suitable, provided the capacitance does not vary significantly over temperature. If load current is not expected to exceed 100 mA, a 1μF ceramic capacitor can be used. If a feed-forward capacitor is not used (such as in a unity-gain configuration) or if an output voltage less than 1.8V is chosen, then the minimum recommended output capacitor is 4.7μF instead of 2.2μF. Table 7-1 lists the recommended output capacitor sizes for several common configurations.
| CONDITION | COUT (µF) |
|---|---|
| VOUT < 1.8 V or CFF = 0 nF | 4.7 |
| VOUT > 1.8 V, IOUT > 100 mA | 2.2 |
| VOUT > 1.8 V, IOUT < 100 mA | 1 |
