TPS73230-EP Datasheet

TPS73230-EP CAP-FREE NMOS 250-mA LOW DROPOUT REGULATOR

The TPS732xx family of low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators uses a new topology: an NMOS pass element in a voltage-follower configuration. This topology is stable using output capacitors with low ESR and even allows operation without a capacitor. It also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse .
