TPS7A78 Обзор
A capacitance-drop regulator is a type of AC/DC converter that uses a capacitor to drop the AC voltage before rectification and regulation. Unlike traditional transformer-based supplies, it is non-isolated and relies on a series capacitor to limit current, making it lightweight and cost-effective. The TPS7A78 belongs to the family of linear voltage regulators, specifically smart LDOs that integrate active rectification and clamping to improve efficiency and standby power.
Key features include a wide input voltage range of 85VAC to 265VAC, a fixed output voltage of 3.3V or 5V, and a maximum output current of 120mA. The device achieves high efficiency by actively clamping the rectified voltage, reducing power dissipation. It also features low quiescent current, thermal shutdown, and overcurrent protection, ensuring robust operation in harsh environments. The TPS7A78 is available in a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package, which provides excellent thermal performance and a compact footprint.
Technically, the TPS7A78 integrates a full-wave bridge rectifier using internal MOSFETs, which are controlled to minimize voltage drop and power loss. The external cap-drop capacitor (CS) is selected based on the desired output current and input voltage, allowing designers to optimize the trade-off between size and performance. The device also includes an internal clamp that limits the rectified voltage to a safe level, protecting downstream circuitry from overvoltage conditions.
Typical applications include smart meters, home automation, IoT devices, LED lighting, and other low-power appliances that require a compact, non-isolated power supply. The TPS7A78 is particularly suited for applications where space is limited and where magnetic components are undesirable due to cost or EMI concerns. Its high efficiency and low standby power make it ideal for always-on devices that need to meet stringent energy regulations.
When designing with the TPS7A78, it is critical to select the appropriate cap-drop capacitor (CS) value and voltage rating based on the input voltage and load current. Additionally, proper PCB layout is essential to minimize parasitic inductance and ensure stable operation. The device's thermal performance should be evaluated under worst-case conditions, and adequate copper area should be provided for heat dissipation.

Заметки по проектированию
Place the external cap-drop capacitor (CS) close to the AC input pins to minimize parasitic inductance and ensure stable operation. Use a capacitor with appropriate voltage rating (at least 400V for 265VAC input) and X2 safety rating for AC mains applications. Keep high-voltage traces short and isolated from low-voltage output traces to prevent noise coupling.
The TPS7A78 dissipates power proportional to the voltage drop across the internal LDO and the load current. At 120mA output and high input voltage, power dissipation can be significant. Use the exposed thermal pad on the HTSSOP package and provide adequate copper area on the PCB for heat sinking. Evaluate worst-case thermal conditions and ensure junction temperature stays within limits.
Do not operate the TPS7A78 without the external cap-drop capacitor (CS) as it is essential for current limiting. Ensure the capacitor is rated for the full AC input voltage and has appropriate safety certifications (e.g., X2). Also, verify that the output capacitor is properly sized for stability, as specified in the datasheet. Incorrect component selection can lead to overvoltage or instability.
