Adjusting the TPS76x01/TPS77001 Output Voltage

3.1 Adjusting the TPS76x01/TPS77001 Output Voltage
All voltage regulators of the TPS76x01/TPS77001 families use the same inter-
nal bandgap voltage, see also Figure 1–1. In the adjustable version, the resis-
tors R1 and R2 are external resistors. Due to the virtual short circuit between
the input pins of an op amp, the voltage V
ref
applies to both the +input pin and
the –input pin.
Note:
All TPS76x01/TPS77001 devices except the TPS764xx use pin 4 as a feed-
back pin for the adjustable version. At the TPS764xx pin 4 acts as a bypass
pin for an external bypass capacitor. This capacitor is used to further reduce
output voltage noise. See the TPS764xx data sheet for details.

Using Figure 3–2, it is possible to get a quick ratio for R1/R2 and their maxi-
mum value.
