(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device  eliability.

The TPS715xx low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators offer the benefits of high input voltage, LDO voltage, low-power operation, and miniaturized packaging. The TPS715xx, which operate over an input range of 2.5 V to 24 V, are stable with any capacitor (>0.47 F). The LDO voltage and low quiescent current allow operations at extremely low power levels. Therefore, the devices are ideal for powering battery-management ICs. Specifically, since the TPS715xx is enabled as soon as the applied voltage reaches the minimum input voltage, the output is quickly available to power continuously operating battery-charging ICs.

The usual PNP pass transistor TPS715xx has been replaced by a PMOS pass element. Because the PMOS pass element behaves as a low-value resistor, the LDO voltage, typically 415 mV at 50 mA of load current, TPS715xx is directly proportional to the load current. The low quiescent current (3.2 A typ) is stable over the entire range of output load current (0 mA to 50 mA).
