PRODUCTION DATA
The output voltage of the TPS73001 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider as shown in Figure 7-1. The output voltage is calculated using Equation 1:
Where:
Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50-μA divider current. Lower value resistors can be used for improved noise performance, but the solution consumes more power. Higher resistors values can cause accuracy issues and other problems. The recommended design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 kΩ to set the divider current at 50 μA, C1 = 15 pF for stability, and then calculate R1 using Equation 2:

To improve the stability of the adjustable version, TI suggests placing a small compensation capacitor between OUT and FB. For output voltages < 1.8 V, the value of this capacitor should be 100 pF. For output voltages > 1.8 V, use Equation 3 to calculate the approximate value of this capacitor.

Figure 7-1 shows the suggested value of this capacitor for several resistor ratios. If this capacitor is not used (such as in a unity-gain configuration) or if an output voltage < 1.8 V is chosen, then the minimum recommended output capacitor is 4.7 μF instead of 2.2 μF.
