Chapter 1 Introduction TPS76901EVM–127, TPS76918EVM-127, TPS76933EVM-127 LDO regulator modules provide the user with cost-effec- tive solutions for providing power to various low-voltage options. These EVMs are pin-compatible with standard 3-terminal type regulators. The EVMs are set up as 1-V, 1.8-V, and 3.3-V output at 100 mA. Various options can be imple- mented with the board to give a range of output voltages from 0 to 5.5 V.
Introduction 1.1 Introduction Low cost and simplicity of design make LDO regulators popular solutions in low-power step-down applications where lack of isolation from the input source is not a concern. Applications of the EVM include single DSP C5400 device, digital camera, medical test equipment, cell phones, consumer audio equipment, and battery backup electronics.
Output Voltages Greater Than V 1.2 Output Voltages Greater Than V For applications requiring an output voltage greater than the internal reference voltage (V ) of 1.224 V, a standard linear regulator circuit with an external voltage divider is all that is necessary. The lower section of Figure 1 shows a generic linear regulator circuit with an input capacitor (C1), output capacitor (C3), external voltage divider (R3/R4), and the enable circuit with either a pullup resistor (R1) or pulldown resistor (R2) as required.
Output Voltages Less Than V 1.3 Output Voltages Less Than V Applications requiring a lower output voltage than the internal reference volt- age needs additional circuitry. The backside components shown in the upper section of figure 1 along with the deletion of R4 will implement this option. The backside components function as a second (but fixed) voltage source to artifi- cially increase the voltage at the feedback terminal, thus requiring less output voltage to satisfy the error amplifier.
Fixed Voltage Options 1.4 Fixed Voltage Options The TPS76918EVM–127 (Vout = 1.8 V) and the TPS76933EVM–127 (Vout = 3.3 V) fixed voltage options are also available. Both of these EVMs use only 4 components (see Figure 1–2) and can be used as a three terminal regulator. Figure 1–2.

Test Setup Operation of the 1-V EVM with input voltages from 2.7 V to 3 V requires in- creasing the bias current for the TL431. Changing R5 to 180 Ω accomplishes this at the expense of higher quiescent currents. Figures 3–4 and 3–5 show the results of this modification.
