Typical Applications

TLV713 is suitable for 6 applications: Battery-Powered Portable Devices, Wearable Electronics, Wireless Sensor Nodes, Post-Regulation of Switching Converters, MCU and Processor Point-of-Load Rails, IoT Smart Home Devices.

πŸ“±

Battery-Powered Portable Devices

The TLV713 fits battery-powered portables because its approximately 50 uA quiescent current and enable pin minimize standby drain, while capacitor-free stability removes the output capacitor from the BOM. Placed as a point-of-load regulator downstream of a Li-ion rail or boost converter, it delivers up to 150 mA at 1% typical accuracy with only 230 mV dropout at full load. The foldback current limit protects against short circuits, and the SOT-23-5 footprint keeps layout area minimal for slim form factors.

🧩

Wearable Electronics

Wearable designs demand the smallest possible regulator solution; the TLV713 answers with a 1-mm x 1-mm 4-pin X2SON option and a 5-pin SOT-23 alternative, both stable without any output capacitor. Its 1% output accuracy keeps MCU and sensor rails within tolerance, while the active pull-down on the TLV713P variant ensures outputs discharge cleanly when the wearable sleeps. With 230 mV dropout at 150 mA, it maintains regulation as the battery discharges, and the enable pin allows the main MCU to gate power to sensors during standby.

🌐

Wireless Sensor Nodes

Wireless sensor nodes spend most of their life in sleep, so the TLV713's low ~50 uA quiescent current and enable-controlled rail gating directly extend battery life. The capacitor-free design removes ceramic capacitors that add height and cost to densely packed nodes. During transmit bursts the foldback overcurrent protection guards fault conditions, and 1% accuracy ensures the radio's supply stays within specification. Post-regulating a switching converter output with the TLV713 also cleans switching ripple from the radio supply rail.

⚑

Post-Regulation of Switching Converters

Switching converters introduce mV-level ripple; placing a TLV713 after a buck output provides a clean low-current analog rail without adding switching noise. Because the TLV713 is stable with no output capacitor, its startup is not delayed by capacitor charging, simplifying power sequencing in multi-rail systems. With 230 mV dropout at 150 mA and 1% accuracy, it is well matched to cleaning 3.3 V or 2.5 V analog supplies for ADCs and amplifiers where even modest ripple degrades signal-chain performance.

πŸ–₯️

MCU and Processor Point-of-Load Rails

MCU cores and I/O rails in the 1.0 V to 2.5 V range map directly to TLV713 fixed-output options such as TLV71310PDBVT (1.0 V) and TLV71318PDBVR (1.8 V). The enable pin supports controlled power-up sequencing, and the TLV713P active pull-down discharges the rail quickly at shutdown, meeting reset requirements of microcontrollers. A 150 mA capacity comfortably covers low-power MCUs and their peripherals, while the SOT-23-5 package fits next to the MCU without extra layout area.

🏠

IoT Smart Home Devices

Smart home nodes combining radios, sensors, and small displays benefit from the TLV713's combination of low standby drain and zero-output-capacitor operation, cutting both sleep-mode current and component count. The 1% typical accuracy keeps sensitive RF front ends within their supply window for reliable wireless links, and foldback current limiting protects against wiring faults in fielded devices. The miniature X2SON package suits coin-cell or energy-harvesting form factors where every square millimeter counts.

What is the maximum output current of the TLV713 LDO?
The TLV713 delivers up to 150 mA of continuous output current with a typical dropout of only 230 mV at full load. According to the TI datasheet (SLVSBO6), the foldback overcurrent protection limits fault current, and the device maintains 1% typical output accuracy across line and load conditions.
Does the TLV713 require an output capacitor?
No, the TLV713 is stable with or without an output capacitor. This capacitor-free stability is its headline feature, eliminating the bulk and cost of output ceramics in space-constrained portable designs. TI notes that adding a small ceramic capacitor is still permitted when maximum load-transient performance is required.
What is the price of TLV713?
The TLV713 series starts at approximately $0.88 for single units at distributors such as LCSC (as of 2026-08-30), dropping to roughly $0.42 at 1000-piece quantities. Exact pricing varies by output voltage suffix and package (SOT-23-5 DBV vs X2SON DQN), so check distributor listings for the specific ordering part number.
What is the difference between TLV713 and TLV713P?
The TLV713P adds an active pull-down circuit that rapidly discharges the output when the regulator is disabled, while the standard TLV713 leaves the output floating. Both share the same 150 mA rating, 1% accuracy, capacitor-free stability, and SOT-23/X2SON packages, and are otherwise drop-in equivalents within the series.
What is the best drop-in replacement for TLV713?
Within TI, the TLV707P and TLV733P are the closest same-brand family options (same SOT-23-5 style, low-IQ capacitor-friendly LDOs), and different-output-voltage TLV713 variants such as TLV71318PDBVR share the identical footprint. Cross-brand, verify any substitute for SOT-23-5 pin compatibility (IN-GND-EN-BYP/NC-OUT ordering) before production use.
What are the key specifications of TLV713 engineers should know?
The TLV713 is a 150-mA capacitor-free LDO with 230 mV dropout at 150 mA, 1% typical accuracy, approximately 50 uA quiescent current, an enable pin, and foldback overcurrent protection. It is available in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) and 1-mm x 1-mm 4-pin X2SON (DQN) packages, with fixed outputs including 1.0 V, 1.8 V, and 2.5 V. Source: TI datasheet SLVSBO6.
Where can I download the TLV713 datasheet PDF?
The official TLV713 datasheet PDF is available at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlv713p.pdf from Texas Instruments. The 26-page document (SLVSBO6) contains the full electrical characteristics, SOT-23-5 and X2SON pinouts, typical application circuits, and layout recommendations.
Is TLV713 the same as TLV733P?
No, they are different parts. The TLV713 is capacitor-free with a 230 mV dropout at 150 mA and about 50 uA IQ, while the TLV733P is a 250-mA low-IQ LDO (about 3.9 uA quiescent current) that typically requires a 1-uF output capacitor. Choose the TLV713 when eliminating the output capacitor is the priority; choose TLV733P for lower standby current.
When should I choose TLV713 over a conventional LDO?
Choose the TLV713 when PCB area and BOM count dominate: its capacitor-free stability removes the output capacitor entirely, ideal for wearables and sensor nodes. Choose a conventional decoupled LDO instead when tight load-transient regulation, very low noise, or sub-10-uA standby current are more important than eliminating the output capacitor.
Is TLV713 suitable for battery-powered wearable devices?
Yes. The TLV713 combines a ~50 uA quiescent current, an enable pin for rail gating, capacitor-free operation, and miniature packages (SOT-23-5 and 1-mm X2SON), all of which directly reduce wearable BOM size and standby drain. TI explicitly targets the series at power-sensitive portable applications, per the TLV713 product page.
What is the best non-TI equivalent for TLV713?
True pin-compatible cross-brand equivalents in SOT-23-5 are limited because TLV713 is capacitor-free; most competitors such as Diodes AP2112K or SGMICRO SGM2212 require a 1-uF output capacitor and differ in pinout. Treat any cross-brand substitute as a functional equivalent only after verifying pin order (IN, GND, EN, NC, OUT) and transient behavior on your board.
Where to buy TLV713 online and is it in stock?
The TLV713 series is in active production and stocked at major distributors. DigiKey lists parts such as TLV71318PDBVR (ships same day), and LCSC stocks TLV71310PDBVT and TLV71325PDBVR (as of 2026-08-30). Availability for specific voltage suffixes should be confirmed on the distributor page before ordering.

Selection Guide

Choose the TLV713 when eliminating the output capacitor is the priority: wearables, sensor nodes, and ultra-thin portables save BOM cost and PCB area while retaining 150 mA capability, ~50 uA IQ, and 1% accuracy. Select a TLV713 suffix matching your rail voltage (TLV71310PDBVT for 1.0 V, TLV71318PDBVR for 1.8 V, TLV71325PDBVR for 2.5 V) and add the P variant when active output discharge is needed. Choose TLV733PDBVR instead if battery life dominates and a 1-uF output capacitor is acceptable (3.9 uA vs ~50 uA quiescent current). Choose a cross-brand part such as SGM2212 only if you need more than 150 mA and can accommodate an output capacitor and verify pinout - it is not a true drop-in.

Key Differentiators

  • Capacitor-free stability removes output capacitor cost and area (vs TLV733PDBVR)
  • Higher current than lowest-power TI siblings (vs TLV707PDBVR)
  • Active pull-down option for controlled rail discharge (vs Generic SOT-23-5 LDOs)

Design Notes

Confirm the exact ordering part number suffix: TLV713 output voltages are suffix-coded (TLV71310PDBVT = 1.0 V, TLV71318PDBVR = 1.8 V, TLV71325PDBVR = 2.5 V). Ordering the wrong suffix delivers the wrong rail voltage on an otherwise identical SOT-23-5 footprint. The 'P' suffix additionally enables active output pull-down.

Although the TLV713 is stable without an output capacitor, keep input/output traces short and place the regulator close to its load. For boards with long inductive input leads, add a small (0.1 uF to 1 uF) input ceramic capacitor for stability against input transients. When load-transient undershoot matters, TI permits adding a small output ceramic capacitor per datasheet SLVSBO6.

Account for foldback current limiting in fault scenarios: under a hard short the TLV713 limits fault current rather than delivering full 150 mA, which reduces die heating but means a latched fault may not self-recover. Tie EN to IN for always-on operation, or drive EN from a GPIO with a defined level - do not leave EN floating.
