TPS74401RGWR

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · VQFN-20-EP(5x5)

TPS74401RGWR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-20-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OUT power_out Regulated output. Tied together with pins 18-20. Adjustable 0.8-3.6 V, up to 3 A. Output capacitor not required for stability but recommended for optimal performance.
2 NC unconnected No connection. May be left floating or tied to GND to improve thermal contact to the top-side plane.
3 NC unconnected No connection. May be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal contact.
4 NC unconnected No connection. May be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal contact.
5 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Pins 5-8 tied together. Range 1.1-5.5 V. A 1 µF (or 4.7 µF if IN=BIAS) input capacitor is recommended.
6 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Tied with pins 5, 7, 8.
7 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Tied with pins 5, 6, 8.
8 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Tied with pins 5, 6, 7.
9 PG output Power-good open-drain, active-high output indicating VOUT status. High-Z when VOUT exceeds the PG trip threshold, low when below. Requires a 10 kΩ-1 MΩ pull-up to a supply up to 5.5 V (may exceed VIN).
10 BIAS power_in Bias input voltage for the error amplifier, reference, and internal control. Range VOUT+VDO(BIAS) to 5.5 V. A 1 µF (or 4.7 µF if tied to IN) bias capacitor is recommended.
11 EN input Active-high enable. Driving high enables the regulator; driving low puts the device into shutdown. Must not be left floating. 0-5.5 V range.
12 GND power_in Device ground. Internally connected to the exposed thermal pad.
13 NC unconnected No connection. May be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal contact.
14 NC unconnected No connection. May be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal contact.
15 SS passive Soft-start programming pin. A capacitor from SS to GND sets the linear output ramp time. If left floating the soft-start ramp is typically 100 µs.
16 FB input Feedback input to the internal error amplifier. Connect to the center tap of an external R1/R2 divider to set VOUT (VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2)). Must not be left floating.
17 NC unconnected No connection. May be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal contact.
18 OUT power_out Regulated output. Tied together with pins 1, 19, 20.
19 OUT power_out Regulated output. Tied together with pins 1, 18, 20.
20 OUT power_out Regulated output. Tied together with pins 1, 18, 19.
21 PAD power_in Exposed thermal pad on the package underside. Internally connected to GND. Must be soldered to the ground plane for proper thermal performance.
