Let’s take a closer look at the new TPL8031 Low Dropout (LDO) Regulators and the TPR433-S Precision Programmable Shunt Voltage References, and discover how they can enhance your next project.

The TPL8031 Series: Ultra-Low Power for Demanding Applications

Power efficiency is paramount, especially in battery-powered and portable devices where every microampere counts. The TPL8031 series of Low Dropout (LDO) regulators is engineered precisely for these scenarios, delivering stable power with minimal energy waste.

What is an LDO?

A Low Dropout (LDO) regulator is a type of linear voltage regulator that works well with a small difference between the input voltage and the output voltage. This difference is called the “dropout voltage.” This feature makes LDOs efficient for lowering voltage to a stable level, which is important for sensitive electronics like microcontrollers and sensors. They are appreciated

for their simplicity, low noise levels, and quick response to changes in load, especially compared to other types of regulators like switching regulators.

Applications

The features of the TPL8031 make it a perfect fit for:

  • Handheld and Battery-Powered Devices: Its ultra-low quiescent current is ideal for maximizing battery life.
  • POS and Power Tools: The 300mA output current can handle the power demands of these applications while the wide input voltage range accommodates various battery packs.
  • Meters and Smoke Detectors: These devices are often “always-on” but in a low-power state. The TPL8031’s minimal power draw ensures they can operate for years on a single battery.
  • Industrial Control: The 40V input tolerance makes it suitable for the higher voltage environments found in industrial settings.

The TPR433-S Series: Precision Voltage Reference for Unwavering Stability

In many systems, especially those involving measurement, data conversion, or precise power control, having a stable and accurate voltage reference is just as important as having a stable power supply. The TPR433-S series of precision programmable shunt voltage references provides this exact function with exceptional accuracy.

What is a Shunt Voltage Reference?

Think of a shunt voltage reference as an exact Zener diode. It is designed to keep a constant voltage across its terminals, regardless of how much the load current or temperature changes. The name “shunt” comes from its placement in parallel with the load.

What makes this component special is its ability to sink varying amounts of current. This allows it to maintain the voltage at a specific level. A steady voltage is crucial for components like Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) and Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), which need a stable reference to make accurate conversions. In the end, having a dependable shunt voltage reference can be essential for achieving accuracy in many electronic applications.
