TPS74401MRGWREP is an ultra-low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator from Texas Instruments capable of sourcing a 3.0-A load. The device is part of the Enhanced Product (EP) portfolio, supporting defense, aerospace, and medical applications with controlled baseline, one assembly/test site, one fabrication site, extended product life cycle, extended product-change notification, and full product traceability[reference:0].
The TPS74401MRGWREP offers an adjustable output voltage from 0.8 V to 3.6 V with 1% accuracy over line, load, and temperature[reference:1][reference:2]. The device supports input voltages as low as 0.9 V with an external bias supply, and features an ultra-low dropout voltage of 115 mV at 3.0 A typical[reference:3][reference:4].
A user-programmable soft-start pin provides a linear startup with ramp time set by an external capacitor, minimizing stress on the input power source by reducing capacitive inrush current on start-up[reference:5][reference:6]. The device is stable with any or no output capacitor and delivers excellent transient response[reference:7]. Fully specified from –55°C to +125°C, the TPS74401MRGWREP is ideal for FPGA applications, DSP core and I/O voltages, post-regulation, and applications with special start-up time or sequencing requirements[reference:8][reference:9].
