The TLV755P is a small low-dropout regulator that sources 500 mA from an input of 1.45 V to 5.5 V, with 25 µA typical quiescent current, 1 percent output accuracy and a dropout of at most 238 mV at 500 mA for a 3.3 V output. It is the higher-current relative of the TLV702. Figures are from the Texas Instruments TLV755P datasheet SBVS320D.

The active output discharge pulls the output low when the regulator is disabled, so the load starts from a known state. For larger input-output differences, heat in an LDO equals the voltage drop times the current, so use a switching converter first.
Using it on a robot
- Power a 3.3 V microcontroller and sensors from a single Li-ion cell or a 5 V rail.
- Use the enable pin to switch the rail from a GPIO.
- Choose the thermal-pad SOT-23-5 package if the load is near 500 mA.
