TPS7A2518DRVR

TPS7A2518DRVR is a fixed-output low-dropout regulator (LDO) from TI’s TPS7A family. The 2518 variant provides a fixed output (1.8 V in this version) with low dropout, low quiescent current, and good power-supply rejection. It includes protection features such as enable control, current limiting, and thermal shutdown for robust operation. The device is packaged in TI’s DRVR package (compact 8-pin). Typical applications include battery-powered and noise-sensitive circuits like microcontrollers, memory, and sensors. For exact electrical specs (input range, dropout at load, PSRR, enable behavior) refer to the TI datasheet.

Do you want cross-reference equivalents from other manufacturers or TI drop-in replacements? To suggest precise substitutes I need specs: input voltage range, max output current, dropout, enable behavior, output tolerance, PSRR, and package (DRVR/VSON-8). Without those, there’s no published direct 1:1 cross-reference for TPS7A2518DRVR.

TPS7A2518DRVR features (highlights):
- Ultra-low-noise, low-dropout regulator for clean analog/digitals rails
- Wide input range suitable for automotive environments (up to ~24 V)
- Fixed output voltage versions for precise rail voltages
- Enable input to selectively turn the regulator on/off
- Low quiescent current for long battery life
- High power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and good transient response
- Protection: overcurrent/short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown
- Reverse-current protection to prevent backflow from output to input
- Robust in automotive environments: wide temperature range, ESD protection
- Small DRVR package suitable for compact designs
Note: exact fixed-output voltages and electrical specs (noise, dropout, current limit) vary by variant; consult the datasheet for precise numbers.

- Pin count: 8 pins (in the DRVR package)
- Function: Low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) with an enable input; fixed output of 1.8 V.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI)
- What kind of company: An American multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog and embedded processing integrated circuits (ICs), headquartered in Dallas, Texas. TI is a major supplier of power management and other analog ICs.
