Pin Functions

PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
DELAY 7 O Delay pin. Connect a capacitor to GND to adjust the PG delay time; leave open if the reset function is not needed.
EN 5 I Enable pin. This pin turns the regulator on or off.
If VEN ≥ VEN_HI, the regulator is enabled.
If VEN ≤ VEN_LO, the regulator is disabled.
If not used, the EN pin can be connected to IN. Make sure that VEN ≤ VIN at all times.
FB/DNC 2 I For the adjustable version (TPS7A1601), the feedback pin is the input to the control-loop error amplifier. This pin is used to set the output voltage of the device when the regulator output voltage is set by external resistors.
For the fixed voltage versions: Do not connect to this pin. Do not route this pin to any electrical net, not even GND or IN.
GND 4 GND Ground pin.
IN 8 IN Regulator input supply pin. A capacitor ≥ 0.1 µF must be tied from this pin to ground to assure stability. TI recommends connecting a 10-µF ceramic capacitor from IN to GND (as close to the device as possible) to reduce circuit sensitivity to printed-circuit-board (PCB) layout, especially when long input traces or high source impedances are encountered.
NC 6 — This pin can be left open or tied to any voltage between GND and IN.
OUT 1 O Regulator output pin. A capacitor ≥ 2.2 µF must be tied from this pin to ground to assure stability. TI recommends connecting a 10-µF ceramic capacitor from OUT to GND (as close to the device as possible) to maximize AC performance.
PG 3 O Power-good pin. Open collector output; leave open or connect to GND if the power-good function is not needed.
PowerPAD — — Solder to printed-circuit-board (PCB) to enhance thermal performance. Although it can be left floating, TI highly recommends connecting the PowerPAD to the GND plane.
