Key Features
- Wide 4 V to 16 V input voltage range supports automotive, industrial, and multi-cell battery systems without additional pre-regulation
- Ultra-low 120 mV typical dropout voltage at 50 mA enables efficient linear regulation close to the output rail
- ±2% output voltage accuracy with 0.01% line regulation ensures stable 3.8 V supply for precision analog and RF circuits
Applications
The TPS76038DBVRG4 is used in wireless sensor nodes, RF transceiver modules, and precision analog circuits requiring a stable 3.8 V supply derived from higher-voltage battery stacks or automotive rails. Its wide input range makes it suitable for 12 V vehicle accessory power systems and 9 V industrial sensor supplies where regulated low-current outputs are needed. The device also suits portable instruments and handheld test equipment needing low-noise 3.8 V bias from a wide-range input source.
