    Chapter 1 Introduction This user’s guide describes the TPS70351EVM165 low-dropout, dual-output evaluation module (SLVP165B). LDOs provide ideal power supplies for rapidly transitioning DSP loads. The TPS703xx family of devices is designed to provide a complete power management solution for DSP, processor power, ASIC, FPGA, and digital applications where dual output voltage regulators are required.
  • Page 8: Low Dropout Voltage Linear Regulator Circuit Operation

    Low Dropout Voltage Linear Regulator Circuit Operation 1.1 Low Dropout Voltage Linear Regulator Circuit Operation In TI’s low dropout voltage linear regulator topology, a PMOS transistor is used for the pass element. Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low and is directly proportional to the output current.

  • Page 20: Esr And Transient Response

    ESR and Transient Response 3.1 ESR and Transient Response LDOs typically require an external output capacitor for stability. In fast transient response applications, capacitors are used to support the load current while the LDO amplifier is responding. In most applications, one capacitor is used to support both functions.
  • Page 21 ESR and Transient Response When C is conducting current to the load, initial voltage at the load will be = V(C ) – V . Due to the discharge of C , the output voltage V will drop continuously until the response time t of the LDO is reached and the LDO will resume supplying the load.

    Test Results 4.1 Test Results Figures 4–1 through 4–10 show the results of various test conditions using the TPS70351 device. In Figure 4–1, the onboard transient generator is used to pulse I (CH1) OUT1 on V (CH2–AC) from 1 mA to 1 A. A current loop was added to the board OUT1 to measure the load current.
  • Page 25: Timing When Sequence Is High

    Test Results In Figure 4-3, ENABLE (CH1) is pulsed. When SEQ is high, V (CH2) OUT1 powers up after V (CH3) reaches 85% of its regulated output. PG1 (CH4), OUT2 which is tied to MR1, goes high when V reaches 95% of its regulated OUT1 voltage.
  • Page 26: Timing Including Reset

    Test Results In Figure 4–5, ENABLE (CH1) is pulsed. SEQUENCE can be either low or high. With PG1 tied to MR1, RESET (CH4) goes high 120 ms after both V OUT1 and V have reached 95% of their respective regulated output voltages. OUT2 Figure 4–5.
  • Page 27 Test Results In Figure 4–7, V (CH1) is pulsed into a shorted condition. Because OUT1 SEQUENCE is high, V (CH2) is not disabled after the internal current limit OUT2 circuitry disables V . PG1 (CH3), which is tied to MR1, goes low when OUT1 falls below 95% of its regulated voltage.
  • Page 28: Timing When Mr Is Toggled

    Test Results In Figure 4–9, V is pulsed into a shorted condition. Because SEQUENCE OUT2 is high, V is disabled after the internal current limit circuitry disables OUT1 . PG1 (CH3), which is tied to MR1, goes low when V falls below OUT2 OUT1...
