Working Principle of TPS73216DBVR Voltage Regulator

The TPS73216DBVR voltage regulator is a 3-terminal low dropout linear regulator. It has an adjustable output voltage set by two external resistors. It is designed to be capable of delivering up to 1A of output current with a low dropout voltage of 200mV at 1A of load current.When the input voltage is greater than the output voltage, the output current is supplied through a p-channel MOSFET. The amount of output current is determined by the voltage difference between the input and output. The output voltage is determined by the resistor ratio of the two external resistors.The TPS73216DBVR has a very precise output voltage, typically ±1.5%. It has a precise control of output voltage with excellent line and load regulation. It also provides protection against over current and thermal overload.
