Product details
Overview
TPS564201 from Texas Instruments is a 4-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DDC) package, featuring integrated 50-mΩ high-side and 22-mΩ low-side MOSFETs, D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, and 560-kHz fixed switching frequency. It delivers regulated 1.05-V output at up to 4 A for digital TV power rails with fast transient response and pulse-skip operation under light load.
For engineers reviewing the TPS564201 datasheet, TPS564201 pinout, TPS564201 application, or TPS564201 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.5 V to 17 V), feedback accuracy (±1.6% at 25°C), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, startup from pre-biased output, and thermal shutdown at 172°C.
Technical Context
The TPS564201 employs D-CAP2™ mode control - an adaptive on-time PWM architecture that eliminates external compensation by embedding internal ramp generation and ripple simulation, enabling stable operation with ultra-low-ESR ceramic or polymer output capacitors. Its valley-current sensing OCL circuit provides cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting with temperature-compensated VDS monitoring of the low-side FET.
Functional modes include continuous conduction mode (CCM) at ~560 kHz above 0 A inductor current, Eco-mode™ pulse-skipping below discontinuous conduction threshold, and standby via EN pin assertion. UVLO (4.0–4.3 V turn-on) and non-latching thermal shutdown (172°C) ensure robust system-level protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 17 V - supports wide-input industrial and consumer DC supplies including 5 V, 9 V, 12 V, and 15 V bus rails. |
| Output Current | 4 A continuous - enables single-chip power delivery for SoC core rails in digital set-top boxes and surveillance systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 560 kHz - balances EMI performance and inductor size; remains stable across input voltage and load variations. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.6% at 25°C - ensures tight output regulation (e.g., ±16.8 mV at 1.05 V), critical for low-voltage logic supply stability. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 50 mΩ at 25°C - minimizes conduction loss at full load; junction-temp derating confirmed to 32 mΩ at 125°C. |
| Shutdown Current | <5 µA - preserves battery or standby power in always-on consumer electronics such as Blu-ray players. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.0 ms - prevents inrush current during power-up; supports controlled ramp into regulation without overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
TPS564201 is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-pin SOT-23 (DDC) package measuring 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm, optimized for compact PCB layouts and high-power-density applications. The exposed pad variant is not used; thermal path relies on PCB copper area connected to GND pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for low-side FET source and controller ground; must be star-connected to VFB divider to minimize noise coupling. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node | Drain connection of high-side FET and source of low-side FET; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance routing to inductor. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input supply | Connects to bulk input capacitor; feeds high-side FET drain and internal LDO; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic + 0.1 µF high-frequency cap. |
| VFB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; 760 mV reference sets VOUT = 0.76 V × (1 + R1/R2); input bias current ≤ ±0.1 µA. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; 1.6 V threshold enables operation; internal 225–900 kΩ pull-down allows direct MCU GPIO control without external resistor. |
| VBST (Pin 6) | Bootstrap supply | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side FET; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VBST and SW to sustain bootstrap charge during each cycle. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ control mode | Enables stable regulation with zero-ESR ceramic capacitors and no external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Pulse Skip (Eco-mode™) | Maintains >80% efficiency at 10 mA load by dynamically reducing switching frequency - extends battery life in standby or low-power states. |
| Startup from pre-biased output | Prevents reverse current flow when VOUT is externally held high at power-up - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications. |
| Hiccup-mode OCP | Enters 15.5-ms restart delay after overcurrent detection - protects downstream components while allowing automatic recovery without host intervention. |
| Non-latch UVP & TSD | Shuts down at 65% VOUT or 172°C, then auto-restarts when fault clears - avoids permanent lockout during transient brownouts or thermal excursions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 3-A rating, 2.5-V to 17-V input, 340-kHz fSW, no pre-bias startup support | Lacks hiccup-mode OCP and D-CAP2™ transient performance; requires external compensation for ceramic caps | Lower-cost option where 3-A output and relaxed transient specs suffice; not drop-in for 4-A or pre-biased designs. |
| RT7295BGJ8F | 4-A rating, 4.5-V to 18-V input, 600-kHz fSW, 1.2% VFB accuracy, but no Eco-mode™ | Fixed-frequency CCM only - higher light-load quiescent current (~250 µA) limits battery runtime | Better VFB accuracy and higher fSW suit noise-sensitive RF sections; unsuitable for ultra-low-IQ standby. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and RT7295BGJ8F, the TPS564201 uniquely combines 4-A capability, D-CAP2™ transient agility, sub-5-µA shutdown, and pre-biased startup - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-dynamic-load consumer electronics where reliability and efficiency across full load range are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the TPS564201?
The TPS564201 supports up to 4 A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). Peak current capability reaches 7.7 A before hiccup-mode overcurrent protection activates, enabling safe handling of short-duration transients in digital loads.
Does the TPS564201 support startup from a pre-biased output voltage?
Yes, the TPS564201 supports startup from a pre-biased output. When the VFB pin senses voltage above the internal reference at power-up, the device delays switching until the internal soft-start reference exceeds the sensed VFB level - preventing reverse current and ensuring monotonic ramp-up.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS564201 use?
The TPS564201 uses a 6-pin SOT-23 package designated DDC, with nominal body dimensions of 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm. It has no exposed thermal pad; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area connected to Pin 1 (GND) and proper layout per TI's SLVSDJ7B layout guidelines.
How does the D-CAP2™ control mode improve transient response in the TPS564201?
The D-CAP2™ mode in the TPS564201 embeds adaptive on-time control with internal ripple simulation, eliminating reliance on output capacitor ESR for loop stability. This enables immediate response to load steps - achieving <10-µs recovery time and ±5% VOUT deviation for 2-A transients - without external compensation components.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS564201?
The TPS564201 integrates cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting, hiccup-mode OCP (15.5-ms restart delay), non-latching undervoltage protection (65% VOUT threshold), thermal shutdown (172°C), and input UVLO (4.0–4.3 V). All protections are fully autonomous and require no external circuitry.
