8.1 Application Information

The TPS7A90 is a linear voltage regulator operating from 1.4 V to 6.5 V on the input, and regulates voltages between 0.8 V to 5.0 V within 1% accuracy and a 500-mA maximum output current. Efficiency is defined by the ratio of output voltage to input voltage because the TPS7A90 is a linear voltage regulator. To achieve high efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN – VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus requiring a very low dropout LDO. Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the application requirements. This section discusses key device features and how to best implement them to achieve a reliable design.
