SGLS303G May 2005 – December 2024 TPS732-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
A precision band-gap reference is used to generate the internal reference voltage, VREF. This reference is the dominant noise source within the TPS732-Q1 family of devices and generates approximately 32 μVRMS (10 Hz to 100 kHz) at the reference output (NR). The regulator control loop gains up the reference noise with the same gain as the reference voltage, so that the noise voltage of the regulator is approximately given by:
Because the value of VREF is 1.2 V, this relationship reduces to:
where
An internal 27-kΩ resistor in series with the noise reduction pin (NR) forms a low-pass filter for the voltage reference when an external noise reduction capacitor, CNR, is connected from NR to ground. For CNR = 10 nF, the total noise in the 10-Hz to 100-kHz bandwidth is reduced by a factor of approximately 3.2, giving the approximate relationship:
where
This noise reduction effect is shown as RMS Noise Voltage vs CNR in Typical Characteristics.
The TPS73201-Q1 adjustable version does not have the noise-reduction pin available. However, connecting a feedback capacitor, CFB, from the output to the FB pin reduces output noise and improve load transient performance.
The TPS732-Q1 family of devices uses an internal charge pump to develop an internal supply voltage sufficient to drive the gate of the NMOS pass element above VOUT. The charge pump generates approximately 250 μV of switching noise at approximately 2 MHz; however, charge-pump noise contribution is negligible at the output of the regulator for most values of IOUT and COUT.
