TLV75801PDRVR Overview
An LDO (low-dropout) linear regulator is a type of voltage regulator that maintains a stable output voltage even when the input-to-output voltage differential approaches the device's dropout limit. Within the power management IC hierarchy, LDOs sit beneath switching regulators and buck converters and above simple Zener references; they are valued for their low noise, fast transient response, compact footprint, and absence of switching EMI. The TLV75801PDRVR extends this category with sub-130 mV dropout, sub-25 µA quiescent current, and high output accuracy that makes external feedback trimming unnecessary in most loads.
Key features include a 25 µA typical quiescent current, 130 mV maximum dropout at 500 mA load, internal soft-start, current limit, and thermal shutdown protection. The 6-pin WSON DRV package has an exposed thermal pad that delivers low thermal resistance, enabling sustained 500 mA output in space-constrained designs. The part also supports an operating junction temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, which is suitable for industrial and portable applications.
Technically, the TLV75801 uses a P-channel pass element architecture that achieves low dropout while keeping the input pin tolerant of voltages up to 6 V. Its internal reference is trimmed to 0.7% accuracy at room temperature and 1% across the full temperature range, eliminating the need for a precision external reference resistor in cost-sensitive designs. The device is also designed for fast line and load transient response, which is important for powering microcontrollers, RF blocks, and analog signal chain loads.
Typical applications include portable and battery-powered electronics such as wearables, IoT sensors, wireless modules, industrial sensors, and any 1-cell Li-ion or multi-rail system requiring post-regulation after a DC-DC converter. The wide 0.55 V to 5.5 V adjustable range also makes it ideal for powering low-voltage MCUs, FPGAs, and analog ICs that require a clean low-voltage rail.
When designing with the TLV75801PDRVR, ensure that the input capacitor is placed close to the IN pin and the output capacitor is close to the OUT pin with the ESR recommended by the datasheet. Because the dropout is only 130 mV at full load, the regulator can stay in regulation until the battery nears depletion, which extends runtime in portable systems. A 1% feedback resistor divider is recommended to preserve the 1% accuracy specification.

Typical Applications
TLV75801PDRVR is suitable for 6 applications: Wearable and Fitness Tracker Power Rail, IoT Sensor Node Post-Regulation, Portable Medical Monitor Power Supply, FPGA Core Voltage Rail, Industrial Sensor and 4-20 mA Loop Power, Battery Charger Auxiliary Rail.
Wearable and Fitness Tracker Power Rail
The TLV75801PDRVR fits wearable and fitness-tracker power designs because its 25 µA typical quiescent current and 130 mV maximum dropout let the system stay in regulation deeper into battery discharge, while the 0.55 V to 5.5 V adjustable output covers low-voltage MCU cores, BLE radios, and sensor rails. Placed between a 3.7 V Li-ion cell and a 1.8 V sensor rail, the part dissipates approximately 0.95 W at 500 mA load. The 6-pin WSON DRV 2x2 mm footprint leaves room for a small wearable PCB, and unlike a switching regulator it adds no EMI that would disturb BLE reception.
Recommended
IoT Sensor Node Post-Regulation
The TLV75801PDRVR is ideal as a post-regulator after a DC-DC converter in IoT sensor nodes, where its 0.7% typical output accuracy and 1% over-temperature accuracy ensure ADC reference stability without external trimming. Its sub-130 mV dropout keeps efficiency high when the upstream buck rail sags under load, and the 25 µA Iq preserves battery life during sleep intervals. Placed after a 3.3 V buck output to deliver 2.8 V to a low-power MCU, it adds negligible quiescent load while cleaning up switching ripple.
Recommended
Portable Medical Monitor Power Supply
Medical monitors and portable diagnostic devices benefit from the TLV75801PDRVR's 0.7% typical / 1% maximum output accuracy, which keeps analog front-end rails stable across temperature. The 500 mA continuous current supports a microcontroller, an LCD driver, and a sensor interface from a single LDO. Positioned between a Li-ion cell and a 3.3 V analog rail, it dissipates up to 0.85 W at full load - manageable on a 1 square inch copper pour with the WSON DRV exposed thermal pad.
Recommended
FPGA Core Voltage Rail
Low-cost FPGAs and CPLDs that require a low-voltage core rail can be powered by the TLV75801PDRVR with its 0.55 V minimum adjustable output. The 500 mA current capability covers many small FPGAs' core current demands, and the 130 mV dropout means the upstream 1.8 V rail can sag to 1.93 V without losing regulation. Placed at the output of a 1.8 V buck converter, it delivers 1.0 V to the FPGA core with sub-25 µA quiescent draw.
Recommended
Industrial Sensor and 4-20 mA Loop Power
The TLV75801PDRVR supports industrial sensor and 4-20 mA loop-powered applications with its -40 °C to +125 °C operating junction temperature and current-limit/thermal-shutdown protection. The 6 V maximum input lets it ride through transients on a 24 V loop when followed by a pre-regulator. In a typical loop transmitter, it post-regulates from a 5 V rail to 3.3 V for the sensor and ADC with 0.7% accuracy that keeps the loop calibration stable.
Recommended
Battery Charger Auxiliary Rail
The TLV75801PDRVR is well suited as an auxiliary rail for a battery charger IC, providing a stable 0.55 V to 5.5 V output for status LEDs, charger MCU, or fuel-gauge ICs. Its 130 mV dropout keeps regulation when the battery nears full and the charger enters constant-voltage mode. Placed between the system battery and a 3.3 V charger MCU, it consumes only 25 µA Iq, which does not meaningfully affect charging efficiency.

Design Notes
At Vin = 5 V, Vout = 3.3 V, and 500 mA load, power dissipation is approximately 0.85 W. The WSON DRV 2x2 mm package relies on the exposed thermal pad for heat removal; solder the pad to a copper area of at least 1 square inch on the top or bottom layer. Without adequate copper, the junction temperature can exceed +125 °C and trigger thermal shutdown at high ambient temperatures.
Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the IN pin (pin 1) and the output capacitor as close as possible to the OUT pin (pin 5). TI recommends a 1 µF ceramic input capacitor and a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor with X7R or X5R dielectric. Keep the ADJ/FB trace short and away from noisy switching nodes to prevent output noise pickup at the feedback node.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V on the IN pin. Use 1% tolerance or better resistors in the external feedback divider to preserve the 1% output accuracy specification. The EN pin is internally pulled to a known state per the datasheet - verify the logic-level threshold for your system before relying on the default. Output capacitor ESR must stay within the datasheet stability range; very low-ESR ceramic capacitors are acceptable, but extremely low-ESR values below 1 mΩ can cause instability.
Route the OUT traces as a star from the regulator pin to the load to minimize voltage drop and avoid high-current paths crossing the feedback trace. Keep the ground return of the output capacitor tied to the thermal pad and to the system ground at a single point to prevent ground bounce from injecting noise into the feedback loop.
