The TPS72518DCQ from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, fixed-output 1.8V, 1A low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in a SOT-223-6 package. Designed for precision power management, it features a 6V maximum input voltage and a low dropout voltage of 0.32V @ 1A, ensuring efficient operation even with tight input-output differentials. With a quiescent current of 225 µA and a supply current of 325 µA (max), it is optimized for power-sensitive applications. The device includes enable/reset control and robust protection features such as over-current, over-temperature, reverse polarity, and under-voltage lockout (UVLO), making it highly reliable in demanding environments.
The TPS72518DCQ is ideal for applications requiring high efficiency, low noise, and robust protection, including:
The TPS72518DCQ stands out as a high-reliability LDO regulator, combining low dropout, high PSRR, and comprehensive protection in a compact package. Its 1A output, enable/reset functionality, and robust safeguards make it a superior choice for power-sensitive and noise-critical applications. While marked as Last Time Buy, it remains a dependable solution for designs requiring a stable 1.8V rail with minimal power loss. Engineers in industrial, automotive, and portable electronics will find it particularly valuable for optimizing system performance and longevity.
