The TPS7A24 is an 18-V, low quiescent current (2 µA at no load), low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that comes in both fixed and adjustable variants. The low IQ performance makes the TPS7A24 an excellent choice for battery-powered or line-power applications that are expected to meet increasingly stringent standby-power standards. This device comes in fixed-output and adjustable versions and 1.25% accuracy over temperature.
Additionally, the TPS7A24 also incorporates overcurrent, overshoot pulldown, and thermal shutdown protection. Figure 2-10 shows the functional block diagram.
This device converts the input voltage from the battery (approximately 6 V) to 3.3 V and supplies the voltage to the MCU. The device can provide stable input voltage to the MCU. While a buck converter can be added to provide higher efficiency when stepping down the 6-V battery output, the LDO does not power the motor or valve which are the main sources of current draw. Limiting the efficiency losses to mainly the sleep state current draw of the MCU and amplifiers.
