Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dropout voltage of the TPS73618DCQG4?
The TPS73618DCQG4 has a typical dropout voltage of 75mV and a maximum dropout voltage of 200mV at full 200mA load current, allowing efficient operation even when the input voltage is only slightly above the 1.8V output, making it ideal for single-cell Li-ion battery applications.
What input voltage range does the TPS73618DCQG4 support?
The TPS73618DCQG4 operates from an input voltage range of 2V minimum to 5.5V maximum, with an absolute maximum rating of 6V. This wide range makes it compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails, as well as regulated and unregulated DC supplies commonly found in consumer and industrial electronics.
What package does the TPS73618DCQG4 come in and what are the thermal considerations?
The TPS73618DCQG4 is housed in a 6-pin SOT-223 package, which provides an exposed metal tab for improved thermal dissipation. The JESD-30 code is R-PDSO-G6. For thermal management, the tab should be soldered to a copper pour on the PCB to maximize heat spreading, especially when operating at maximum 200mA output current continuously.
Is the TPS73618DCQG4 RoHS compliant?
According to the part specifications, the TPS73618DCQG4 Pb-free code is listed as No, indicating it may contain lead and may not meet RoHS requirements. Designers targeting fully RoHS-compliant assemblies should verify the specific compliance status with Texas Instruments or consider alternate part options from the TPS736 family.
What are typical applications for the TPS73618DCQG4?
Typical applications include powering 1.8V microcontrollers, memory devices, FPGAs, and RF transceivers in portable electronics, IoT nodes, and industrial sensors. The device's low noise and tight output regulation also make it suitable for powering ADC reference circuits, precision op-amps, and other analog components sensitive to supply voltage variations.
