Feature Description (continued)

7.3.2 Dropout Voltage

The TLV760 is a bipolar device with quasi LDO architecture. Being a bipolar device the dropout voltage of the

device does not change significantly with output load current. The device has a maximum dropout across

temperature of 1.2 V at 100-mA load current, which is a significant improvement over the traditional LM78Lxx

devices.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Normal Operation

The TLV760 operates with an input up to 30 V. Its tiny SOT-23 package and quasi-LDO architecture makes it

suitable for providing a very tiny 100-mA bias supply. The device regulates to the nominal output voltage when

all of the following conditions are met.

•

The input voltage is greater than the nominal output voltage plus the dropout voltage (VOUT(NOM) + VDO).

•

The output current is less than or equal to 100 mA.

•

The device junction temperature is less than the thermal protection temperature of 150°C.
