Summary
The Texas Instruments TPS7H1101A-SP is a LDO linear regulator suitable in power supply for RF, VCOs, receivers, and amplifiers. The regulator is suitable for satellite point of load supply for FPGAs, microcontrollers, ASICs, and data converters. The regulator is radiation-hardened and uses a PMOS pass element configuration. The thermal protection, current limit and current foldback features of the regulator make it suitable for space environment.
The component allows for an implementation of a precise and programmable foldback current limit with a wide adjustment range. Thermal protection is provided by disabling the output when a certain junction temperature is reached.
Complex power requirements of DSPs, microcontrollers or FPGAs are supported by the component through the programmable soft start, enable on and off functionality, a Power Good open-drain output and current sharing capability. The device has been designed to offer a high level of PSRR.
The regulator is packaged in a 16-pin ceramic flatpack (HKR) enabling high thermal performance. The system features are designed to provide a higher reliability, flexibility and can configured to use in parallel operation.
The current sense (CS) monitoring feature helps to indicate the voltage proportional to the output current when a resistor is connected the CS terminal. The foldback current limit is enabled when the voltage at CS is pulled greater than 90% of Vref and is disabled when it is pulled below 0.544 V.
Overcurrent limit activation point is set by connecting a resistor from the programmable current limit (PCL) terminal to ground and when is reached, LDO goes into current foldback mode.
The LDO can be enabled or disabled using the enable feature. The status of the output voltage regulation is indicated using the open-drain connection, Power Good (PG) which adds to the flexibility in control and monitoring.
