The TPS7A9201DSKR is a high-pe RF ormance, low-noise, dual-output voltage regulator designed to provide ultra-low noise for sensitive analog systems, such as RF applications, precision sensors, and high-fidelity audio systems. It has an input voltage range from 2.8V to 5.5V and is capable of providing two output voltages with low noise.
The VOUT pin provides the regulated voltage output. The EN pin enables or disables the IC, which is typically controlled by a logic signal. The feedback pins (VOUT Feedback, FB+, and FB-) are used to stabilize the output voltage and ensure accurate regulation. The SENSE pin is used to monitor the voltage at the output. The IN+ and IN- pins enable differential voltage sensing for more precise regulation.FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
