Below, I will provide the requested detailed information about the pin functions, the encapsulation package, as well as an FAQ section based on the model, following the structure and clarity you specified.
Pin Function Specifications
The TPS71501DCKR is part of a family of voltage regulators and comes in a DCKR package (an SOT-23-5 package). It typically has 5 pins in this package.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the pinout and their functions for the TPS71501DCKR:
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Type Function Description 1 Vout Output This pin provides the regulated output voltage. The output is determined by the feedback resistor configuration and is typically a low noise, stable voltage for powering sensitive circuits. 2 GND Ground This is the ground pin. All external components must be referenced to this pin, which is the common return path for current in the circuit. 3 Vin Input This is the input voltage pin, where the supply voltage is provided to the regulator. The input must be higher than the output voltage by a specified minimum difference, depending on the dropout voltage. 4 EN Input This is the enable pin. A high logic level on this pin enables the LDO regulator, while a low logic level disables it. The pin typically requires a voltage of 1.4V or higher to turn on the regulator. 5 NC No Connect This pin is not internally connected to the circuit, serving only as a mechanical support pin in the package. It can be left unconnected in the application.Package Information
The TPS71501DCKR comes in the SOT-23-5 package. This is a 5-pin surface-mount package that is compact, ideal for small-space designs.
Pin Function and Circuit Principle
The principle behind the TPS71501DCKR is to regulate the input voltage down to a stable output voltage, which can be adjusted based on external feedback components (resistors).
Vout provides the regulated voltage. Vin is where the input voltage is supplied (must be above the output by at least the dropout voltage). GND connects to the common ground. EN controls whether the LDO is enabled or disabled. NC is simply for physical package integrity.20 Common FAQs
