Product details
Overview
TPS6209733RWKT from Texas Instruments is a 2-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with fixed 3.3-V output, iDCS-Control topology, forced PWM or power-save mode operation, and selectable 1.5–2.5-MHz switching frequency. It delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy, supports 2.5-V to 6.0-V input, and integrates power-good signaling, hiccup short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown - deployed in point-of-load regulation for SSDs and industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6209733RWKT datasheet, TPS6209733RWKT pinout, TPS6209733RWKT application, or TPS6209733RWKT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V fixed output, VQFN-11 (RWK) package, 100% duty cycle capability for low-dropout operation, programmable soft-start via SS/TR pin, and compatibility with high-value (>150 µF) ceramic output capacitors for noise-sensitive POL rails.
Technical Context
The TPS6209733RWKT implements iDCS-Control - a predictive on-time architecture enabling seamless transition between PWM and Power Save Mode (PSM), or forced fixed-frequency PWM across full load range. Its control loop uses input/output voltage feedforward to maintain quasi-constant switching frequency while achieving up to 97% efficiency at medium-to-heavy loads.
It integrates dual MOSFET drivers with 40–96-mΩ high-side and 40–85-mΩ low-side RDS(on), 1.0-A minimum current limit (ILIMF = 3.1–4.2 A), and active output discharge (165-Ω internal resistor). The device supports voltage tracking, sequencing, and precise 0.8-V internal reference with ±1% output accuracy over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.

Pinout & Package
VQFN-11 (RWK) package: 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm body, 0.4-mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND | Power ground | Main return path for high-current switch node; must be connected directly to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects internal high/low-side MOSFETs to external inductor; requires tight layout to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| VOS | Output voltage sense | Direct connection to output capacitor anode - enables accurate remote sensing and fast transient response. |
| FB | Feedback reference | Internally tied to 0.8-V reference; for fixed-output versions, connect to AGND to improve thermal performance. |
| PG | Power-good open-drain | Signals valid 3.3-V rail (95% threshold); requires external pull-up ≤6 V for sequencing downstream converters or processors. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input with 375-kΩ internal pulldown; enables/disable sequencing and system-level power management. |
| PVIN | Main power input | High-current VIN path for switch node; separate from AVIN to reduce noise coupling into analog circuitry. |

| SS/TR | Soft-start & tracking | Controls ramp rate via external capacitor; also accepts external voltage for coordinated multi-rail startup or voltage tracking. |
| MODE | Operating mode select | Configures PWM-only (forced) or auto PWM/PSM mode and sets switching frequency via resistor to AGND or open. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for FB, MODE, SS/TR, and PG; must be star-connected near IC to avoid noise injection into control loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| iDCS-Control topology | Enables seamless PWM-to-PSM transition without output voltage disturbance - critical for noise-sensitive ADCs or RF subsystems. |
| Forced PWM mode | Eliminates variable-frequency PSM artifacts; maintains fixed 1.5–2.5-MHz switching for predictable EMI filtering and reduced acoustic noise. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Supports dropout as low as VOUT + IOUT×(RDS(on) + DCRL) - extends usable input range down to ~3.5 V for 3.3-V output under full load. |
| Programmable soft start | External capacitor on SS/TR pin sets controlled 3.3-V ramp time - prevents inrush current damage to upstream sources and downstream capacitors. |
| Output voltage tracking | SS/TR pin accepts external voltage ramp to coordinate startup with other rails (e.g., 1.2-V core before 3.3-V I/O) - essential for FPGA and ASIC power sequencing. |
| Integrated power-good | Open-drain PG signal confirms regulation within ±5% of 3.3 V - enables safe processor reset assertion and inter-rail enable chaining. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6209718RWKT | Identical package and architecture but fixed 1.8-V output; shares same iDCS-Control, MODE pin configuration, and protection features. | Targets 1.8-V digital core rails instead of 3.3-V I/O or interface rails - not interchangeable without redesigning output filtering and sequencing. | Select when system requires 1.8-V supply with identical thermal, layout, and control characteristics. |
| TPS6285133RTER | SOT-583 package (1.6 mm × 2.1 mm), 1-A output, 6-V max input, ±1% accuracy, but lacks hiccup protection and output discharge; uses different control scheme. | Lower cost, smaller solution size, but limited to 1-A loads and missing robust industrial protections - suitable for consumer-grade portable devices, not mission-critical PLCs. | Choose only for space-constrained, lower-current applications where hiccup protection and 2-A capability are not required. |
Compared with TPS6209718RWKT, the TPS6209733RWKT provides higher output voltage for interface circuits but identical control flexibility and ruggedness; versus TPS6285133RTER, it offers double current capacity, integrated hiccup protection, and proven industrial thermal performance - making it preferable for 2-A, safety-aware designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS6209733RWKT?
The TPS6209733RWKT has a fixed 3.3-V output voltage with ±1% accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. Unlike adjustable versions, it does not require external feedback resistors - the 3.3-V setting is laser-trimmed at wafer test and verified per TI's production data. This simplifies layout and improves long-term stability for I/O and interface rail applications.
Does the TPS6209733RWKT support forced PWM mode?
Yes, the TPS6209733RWKT supports forced PWM mode via the MODE pin. When the MODE pin is left floating or pulled to AVIN through a resistor (e.g., 75 kΩ), the device operates exclusively in fixed-frequency PWM mode across all load conditions - eliminating frequency modulation artifacts critical for EMI-sensitive applications like motor drives and precision instrumentation.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS6209733RWKT use?
The TPS6209733RWKT uses the RWK package: an 11-pin VQFN with 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm body size, 0.4-mm lead pitch, and exposed thermal pad. Its compact footprint and low thermal resistance (RθJA = 83.4°C/W) enable high-power-density designs in space-constrained industrial modules and SSD controller boards.
How does the TPS6209733RWKT handle short-circuit conditions?
The TPS6209733RWKT employs hiccup short-circuit protection: upon detecting 32 consecutive current-limit events, it disables switching, discharges the output via the internal 165-Ω resistor, and auto-restarts after ~100 µs. This limits average fault current and prevents thermal runaway - a key reliability feature for unattended industrial equipment where sustained shorts may occur.
Can the TPS6209733RWKT be used with large output capacitors?
Yes, the TPS6209733RWKT's internally compensated control loop supports output capacitors exceeding 150 µF - including high-capacitance ceramic arrays - without external compensation. This enables low-impedance, low-noise 3.3-V rails for sensitive analog or high-speed digital loads, while maintaining stability across wide temperature and aging variations.
