PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The TPS7A53A-Q1 has an internal active pulldown circuits on the OUT pin.
This active discharge function uses an internal metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that connects a resistor (RPULLDOWN) to ground when the low-dropout resistor (LDO) is disabled in order to actively discharge the output voltage. The active discharge circuit is activated when the device is disabled by driving EN to logic low, when the voltage at IN or BIAS is below the UVLO threshold, or when the regulator is in thermal shutdown.
The discharge time after disabling the device depends on the output capacitance (COUT) and the load resistance (RL) in parallel with the pulldown resistor.
The active pulldown circuit connects the output to GND through a 500-Ω resistor when the device is disabled.
Do not rely on the active discharge circuit for discharging a large amount of output capacitance after the input supply has collapsed because reverse current can flow from the output to the input and can cause damage to the device. Limit reverse current to no more than 5% of the device-rated current.
