Product details
Overview
TPS62086RLTR from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with fixed 3.3-V output, DCS-Control™ topology, hiccup short-circuit protection, and 2.5-V to 6.0-V input range. It delivers up to 95% efficiency at 3 A, operates in Power Save Mode for light-load efficiency, and supports 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout-ideal for battery-powered point-of-load regulation in portable industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62086RLTR datasheet, TPS62086RLTR pinout, TPS62086RLTR application, or TPS62086RLTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2-mm × 2-mm VSON-7 package, 17-μA quiescent current, 2.4-MHz PWM switching frequency, power good (PG) open-drain output, and integrated output discharge function.
Technical Context
The TPS62086RLTR implements DCS-Control™ architecture, combining voltage-mode control with seamless transition between PWM and Power Save Mode (PSM) without output voltage disturbance. Its fixed 3.3-V output eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area.
It features hiccup-mode short-circuit protection triggered after 32 overcurrent events, thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, undervoltage lockout at 2.2 V (±0.1 V), and internal soft-start with 0.8-ms ramp time. The 260-Ω output discharge resistor enables controlled shutdown when EN is low.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62087RLTR | Fixed 1.8-V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except VOUT | Used where lower core voltage required for SoC or DSP; not interchangeable without board revision | Select TPS62087RLTR only when 1.8-V output is mandatory and FB/VOS routing matches |
| TPS62865RQFR | Higher 6-A rating, 4-MHz switching, smaller 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm QFN; requires different layout and compensation | Suitable for next-gen designs needing higher current density and faster transient response | TPS62865RQFR offers upgrade path but demands full revalidation due to different control loop and thermal profile |
Compared with TPS62086RLTR, TPS62087RLTR provides identical functionality at 1.8 V instead of 3.3 V-requiring no schematic change beyond output voltage verification-while TPS62865RQFR delivers double current capacity in a smaller footprint but mandates new layout, compensation, and thermal design.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62086RLTR under full load?
The TPS62086RLTR delivers a fixed 3.3-V output with ±1.0% accuracy under PWM-mode conditions at 1-A load and VIN ≥ VOUT + 1 V. At zero load in Power Save Mode, output accuracy is ±2.1%, per the electrical characteristics table. This tolerance ensures reliable logic-level compatibility with 3.3-V I/O standards across temperature and line variations.
Does the TPS62086RLTR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62086RLTR does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its internal feedback divider sets the regulated output to 3.3 V. The FB pin must be connected directly to the output node to maintain regulation accuracy and stability-no resistor network is needed or supported.
How does the hiccup short-circuit protection work in the TPS62086RLTR?
The TPS62086RLTR enters hiccup mode after detecting 32 consecutive switch current limit events. It then disables switching for ~66 μs, discharges the output via the internal 260-Ω resistor, and attempts automatic restart. This cycle repeats until the fault clears-limiting average power dissipation and preventing thermal damage during sustained shorts.
Can the TPS62086RLTR operate with a 2.5-V input and 3.3-V output?
No-the TPS62086RLTR cannot regulate 3.3 V from a 2.5-V input because VIN must exceed VOUT by sufficient margin to overcome dropout. Minimum input is 2.5 V, but practical regulation requires VIN ≥ 3.4–3.5 V depending on load and RDS(on). The device supports 100% duty cycle only when VIN approaches VOUT; below that threshold, output collapses.
What is the purpose of the VOS pin on the TPS62086RLTR?
The VOS (voltage output sense) pin on the TPS62086RLTR provides Kelvin sensing of the output voltage at the capacitor terminals. Connecting VOS directly to the output capacitor's positive terminal improves load regulation accuracy (<0.16%/A) and enhances transient response by compensating for PCB trace resistance between the SW/GND nodes and the load.
