Product details
Overview
TPS564208DDCR from Texas Instruments is a 4-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in SOT-23-6 (DDC) package, designed for compact point-of-load regulation. It integrates 50-mΩ high-side and 22-mΩ low-side MOSFETs, operates from 4.5 V to 17 V input, delivers adjustable output from 0.76 V to 7 V, and uses D-CAP2™ control for fast transient response in digital TV and STB power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS564208DDCR datasheet, TPS564208DDCR pinout, TPS564208DDCR application, or TPS564208DDCR equivalent, key selection factors include its 560-kHz fixed-frequency operation, 1.6% VFB accuracy at 25°C, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, pre-biased startup capability, and thermal shutdown at 172°C - all critical for reliable 4-A load regulation in space-constrained consumer electronics.
Technical Context
The TPS564208DDCR employs D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, combining internal ramp compensation with valley-current sensing to enable stable operation with ultra-low-ESR ceramic or polymer output capacitors-no external compensation required. Its control loop maintains quasi-fixed 560-kHz switching across input voltage (4.5–17 V) and output voltage (0.76–7 V) ranges via VIN- and VOUT-proportional on-time adjustment.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting using low-side FET RDS(on) voltage sensing, non-latching undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 4.3-V turn-on threshold, and thermal shutdown at 172°C with 38°C hysteresis. Startup supports pre-biased outputs via internal soft-start reference ramping only after VFB falls below the rising reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Continuous 4 A - supports full-load operation in digital set-top boxes and surveillance systems without external current sharing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 17 V - compatible with 5-V, 9-V, 12-V, and 15-V intermediate bus rails in consumer power supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 560 kHz - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering while maintaining >85% efficiency at 2-A load with 12-V input. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1.6% at 25°C - ensures tight output regulation for sensitive SoC cores requiring 1.05-V ±3% rails. |
| Shutdown Current | <5 µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems such as HDMI receiver standby circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 172°C with 38°C hysteresis - provides robust fault recovery in enclosed enclosures without forced airflow. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.0 ms - prevents inrush current into large output capacitance (e.g., 44 µF ceramic bank) during cold start. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS564208DDCR is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DDC) package measuring 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm, optimized for thermal performance with RθJA = 86.3°C/W and RθJB = 13.3°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for low-side FET source, controller logic, and feedback network - must be connected at single-point to minimize noise coupling into VFB. |
| SW | Switch node | Drain connection of high-side FET and source of low-side FET - requires low-inductance layout to SW copper pour for efficient energy transfer and EMI control. |
| VIN | Main input supply | High-voltage rail input (4.5–17 V); connects to drain of high-side FET - must be decoupled with ≥10-µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin 3. |
| VFB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; 760-mV nominal threshold - accuracy directly determines output regulation tolerance (±1.6% at 25°C). |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.6-V threshold); internal 425-kΩ pull-down - allows system-level sequencing and standby mode activation without external circuitry. |
| VBST | Bootstrap supply | Provides gate drive voltage for high-side FET; requires 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between VBST and SW - critical for sustaining 50-mΩ RDS(on) performance across duty cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ control mode | Enables stable regulation with zero-ESR ceramic capacitors and eliminates external compensation components - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Integrated 50-mΩ/22-mΩ FETs | Delivers 4-A continuous output with <1.2-W conduction loss at 12-V input/1.05-V output - avoids discrete MOSFET selection and gate driver design. |
| Pre-biased output startup | Allows safe ramp-up when output capacitor is already charged - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing in digital TV platforms. |
| Hiccup-mode OCP | Enters 15.5-ms restart delay after overcurrent detection - protects against sustained short-circuit faults without latch-up or manual reset. |
| Low 10-µA shutdown current | Supports <100-µW system standby power - meets Energy Star and EU CoC Tier 2 requirements for connected home devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS564201DDCR | Same D-CAP2™ control and pinout, but rated for 2-A output and higher RDS(on) (70 mΩ/35 mΩ). | Suitable for lower-power STB peripherals or auxiliary rails where 4-A headroom is unnecessary. | Select when thermal budget or cost constraints outweigh need for 4-A capability - shares same layout and feedback network. |
| MP2342GDD-Z | Monolithic 4-A buck with 500-kHz frequency, but uses current-mode control and requires external compensation. | Better suited for designs needing programmable frequency or tighter current limit tolerance (±10% vs. TPS564208's ±20%). | Choose when design requires adjustable switching frequency or compatibility with legacy current-mode layout practices - not pin-compatible. |
Compared with TPS564201DDCR, the TPS564208DDCR delivers double the output current with identical footprint and control architecture; versus MP2342GDD-Z, it eliminates compensation components and simplifies layout but fixes frequency at 560 kHz - making it optimal for cost- and space-sensitive consumer applications demanding proven 4-A reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS564208DDCR?
The TPS564208DDCR is rated for 4-A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating assumes use of the specified 1.5–4.7-µH inductor and ≥20-µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitance, as validated in TI's reference design TPS564208EVM-741. Derating applies above 85°C ambient.
Does the TPS564208DDCR support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the TPS564208DDCR supports pre-biased output startup. When the output capacitor is pre-charged, the device delays switching until the internal soft-start reference voltage exceeds the feedback voltage (VFB), preventing reverse current flow and ensuring monotonic ramp-up - a critical feature for multi-rail systems like digital TVs and STBs.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS564208DDCR use?
The TPS564208DDCR uses a 6-pin SOT-23 package designated DDC, with nominal body dimensions of 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm and standard 0.95-mm pitch. It features exposed thermal pad geometry optimized for bottom-side heat dissipation, achieving RθJB = 13.3°C/W on 2-layer JEDEC-standard PCBs.
Can the TPS564208DDCR operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the TPS564208DDCR is fully compatible with ceramic-only output capacitors due to its D-CAP2™ control architecture, which eliminates the need for ESR-based compensation. TI recommends 20–68 µF total ceramic capacitance (e.g., two 22-µF X5R 0805s) with typical ESR < 5 mΩ - verified in efficiency curves up to 4-A load.
What is the feedback voltage threshold and accuracy of the TPS564208DDCR?
The TPS564208DDCR has a nominal feedback voltage threshold of 760 mV, with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.6% over temperature (–40°C to 125°C junction) and line/load conditions. This precision directly defines output voltage tolerance when using standard 1% resistor dividers, enabling compliance with tight SoC core rail specifications (e.g., 1.05 V ±3%).
