TPS73601DBVR

TPS73601DBVR is the tape-and-reel SOT-23-5 (DBV) ordering code for the Texas Instruments TPS73601 adjustable low-dropout regulator, listed by TI as Active / Production in the current package appendix. The lifecycle statement belongs to this DBV reel variant itself: the SOT-223 tube sibling code in the same appendix is already obsolete, and its status does not transfer to this variant. The regulator accepts a 1.7 V to 5.5 V input, sets its output between 1.2 V and 5.5 V, delivers 400 mA with a dropout voltage of 75 mV typical at full load, holds 0.5 % initial accuracy and 1 % overall accuracy, shows output noise of 30 µVRMS typical over 10 Hz to 100 kHz, draws under 1 µA maximum in shutdown, and is stable with no output capacitor (cap-free NMOS topology). The selection point is a 400 mA adjustable rail that stays stable without an output capacitor: RF and data-converter supplies in dense layouts drop the output-cap footprint and its placement constraints. Selection advice: quote the DBVR code in full - a DCQ-package offer is a different footprint carrying an obsolete status, so it is neither a lifecycle nor a layout equivalent. Parameters verified against the TI TPS736 datasheet and the current package appendix.
