The purpose of the LDO is to provide a low noise power rail (130 μVrms, BW = 10 Hz to 100 kHz) for the TMP1075 temperature sensors. Although the LDO is capable of sourcing up to 200 mA, the expected load is much less (<5 mA) since the temperature sensors are very low power devices.
The maximum TPS7A02 dropout for a 3.3 V output is 310 mV. The input voltage is 4 V from the DRV8323RS's integrated buck, which allows for up to 0.7 V of dropout.
A minimum output capacitance of 1 μF is required for stability. For this design, 1-μF, 10-V ceramic capacitors were selected for the input and output.
