Product details
Overview
TPS62008DGS from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 2.5 V at up to 600 mA from a 2–5.5 V input, featuring 95% peak efficiency, 50 µA quiescent current in power-save mode, and internal PFM/PWM control logic for wide-load-efficiency optimization - deployed in battery-powered portable audio players and USB DSL modems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62008DGS datasheet, TPS62008DGS pinout, TPS62008DGS application, or TPS62008DGS equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.5 V output, 750 kHz nominal switching frequency, ILIM-selectable 600/1200 mA current limit, SYNC-controlled PFM/PWM mode transition, and VSSOP-10 (DGS) thermal performance with RθJA = 160°C/W.
Technical Context
The TPS62008DGS implements current-mode control with integrated P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side MOSFETs, enabling synchronous rectification and 100% duty-cycle operation near dropout. Its internal compensation eliminates external compensation components.
It supports three functional modes via the SYNC pin: forced PWM (SYNC = VIN), power-save PFM/PWM (SYNC = GND), or external clock synchronization (500–1000 kHz). The antiringing switch reduces EMI in DCM but is disabled in fixed-output variants per datasheet Note 8.3.1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±3% over 10 mA–600 mA load; enables direct replacement of LDOs in 2.5 V rail applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 5.5 V; supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 2–3 cell alkaline/NiMH, and USB 5 V sources. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA (ILIM = GND) or 1200 mA (ILIM = VIN); selectable via single resistor tie-off, no external sense resistor needed. |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA typical in PFM mode; sustains >100-hour runtime in always-on sub-100 µA standby systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 750 kHz nominal (free-running); synchronizable to 500–1000 kHz external clock for EMI reduction or system timing alignment. |
| Power Good Threshold | Active high when VOUT ≥92% of nominal (2.3 V); open-drain PG output requires external pull-up for host processor reset sequencing. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 160°C/W (VSSOP-10); limits continuous 600 mA operation to ≤65°C ambient without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62008DGS is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with 0.5 mm pitch, optimized for compact portable PCB layouts and moderate thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 2–5.5 V; requires 10 µF ceramic input capacitor placed adjacent to FC and GND pins. |
| FC (Pin 2) | High-frequency bypass | Connects to 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor for noise suppression on VIN path; not for external bias. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for FB, EN, SYNC; must be separated from PGND in layout to avoid coupling. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high after 100 µs delay when VOUT ≥2.3 V; requires external pull-up to VOUT or system rail. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback reference node | Internally connected to 0.45 V reference; unused in fixed-output TPS62008DGS (no external divider). |
| ILIM (Pin 6) | Current-limit configuration | Tie to GND for 600 mA limit or to VIN for 1200 mA limit; sets peak switch current without external sensing. |
| SYNC (Pin 7) | Mode control and sync input | GND = PFM/PWM auto-switching; VIN = forced PWM; CMOS clock = external sync (500–1000 kHz). |
| EN (Pin 8) | Enable control | Logic high (>1.3 V) enables regulation; logic low (<0.4 V) shuts down device to <1 µA IQ. |
| L (Pin 9) | Switch node | Drives external 10 µH inductor; high di/dt node requiring short, wide trace and local PGND return. |
| PGND (Pin 10) | Power ground return | High-current return for L, internal MOSFETs; must connect directly to inductor and output capacitor ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous MOSFETs | Eliminates external catch diode; reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Programmable current limit | Two discrete settings (600/1200 mA) via ILIM pin tie-off - avoids overdesign of inductor and capacitors for target load. |
| Internal soft-start | ~1 ms ramp time prevents output overshoot and inrush current spikes during enable; no external capacitor required. |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Activates below ~1.6 V VIN; prevents erratic startup and brownout operation in fading battery conditions. |
| 100% duty-cycle mode | Maintains regulation down to VIN – VDS(on) ≈ VOUT; extends usable battery life in deep discharge scenarios. |
Applications
| Cellular Phones | USB-Based DSL Modems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62007DGS | Fixed 3.3 V output; identical pinout, package, and feature set except output voltage and feedback network. | Used where system requires 3.3 V logic rail instead of 2.5 V; shares same layout and BOM except output cap and inductor rating. | Select TPS62007DGS only when 3.3 V is required; no electrical compatibility with 2.5 V systems. |
| TPS62290DGS | Successor generation: 2.5 V fixed, 1 A output, 2.3–6.5 V input, 17 µA IQ, 2.2 MHz switching, same DGS package. | Enables smaller magnetics and higher efficiency in new designs; not drop-in due to different UVLO, sync range, and thermal specs. | Choose TPS62290DGS for next-gen designs prioritizing size and light-load efficiency; legacy TPS62008DGS remains valid for cost-sensitive volume production. |
Compared with TPS62007DGS and TPS62290DGS, the TPS62008DGS offers proven reliability in battery-constrained 2.5 V applications with minimal external components, while trading higher IQ and lower max current for mature supply chain stability and design simplicity.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62008DGS under full load?
The TPS62008DGS delivers a fixed 2.5 V output with ±3% tolerance across 10 mA to 600 mA load current, measured at TA = –40°C to 85°C and VIN = 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This specification holds regardless of SYNC pin state or ILIM configuration, ensuring consistent rail accuracy for 2.5 V logic interfaces without external trimming.
Can the TPS62008DGS operate with an input voltage below 2 V?
No - the TPS62008DGS has a minimum recommended input voltage of 2 V per datasheet Section 7.3. Operation below this violates recommended conditions and may cause UVLO activation or unstable regulation. Absolute maximum ratings permit –0.3 V, but functional operation is not guaranteed below 2 V.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting in the TPS62008DGS?
The ILIM pin selects between two factory-trimmed current limits: tying ILIM to GND sets the switch current limit to 600 mA (typical), while tying it to VIN raises it to 1200 mA (typical). This setting directly determines maximum sustainable output current and influences inductor saturation margin - no external sense resistor or calibration is required.
Is the TPS62008DGS pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS6200x family?
Yes - all TPS6200x devices, including TPS62008DGS, share identical 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) packaging, pinout, and footprint. Fixed-output variants (TPS62001–TPS62007) and the adjustable TPS62000 use the same layout, enabling one PCB design to support multiple output voltages via BOM change only.
Does the TPS62008DGS require external compensation components?
No - the TPS62008DGS features fully internal compensation. Its current-mode architecture and fixed-gain error amplifier eliminate the need for external RC networks or feedforward capacitors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining stability with standard 10 µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors.
