6.3.3 Dropout Voltage

The TPS732-Q1 family of devices uses an NMOS pass transistor to achieve extremely low dropout. When (VIN – VOUT) is less than the dropout voltage (VDO), the NMOS pass device is in the linear region of operation and the input-to-output resistance is the RDS-ON of the NMOS pass element.

For large step changes in load current, the TPS732-Q1 family of devices requires a larger voltage drop from VIN to VOUT to avoid degraded transient response. The boundary of this transient dropout region is approximately twice the dc dropout. Values of VIN – VOUT above this line provide normal transient response.

Operating in the transient dropout region can cause an increase in recovery time. The time required to recover from a load transient is a function of the magnitude of the change in load current rate, the rate of change in load current, and the available headroom (VIN to VOUT voltage drop). Under worst-case conditions [full-scale instantaneous load change with (VIN – VOUT) close to dc dropout levels], the TPS732-Q1 family of devices can take a couple of hundred microseconds to return to the specified regulation accuracy.
