Product details
Overview
TPS62111RSAT from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.3 V, 1.5-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 16-pin VQFN package, operating from 3.1 V to 17 V input, delivering up to 95% efficiency at 600 mA with 20 µA quiescent current and integrated power-good and low-battery detection - deployed in handheld scanners and point-of-load regulation from 12-V rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62111RSAT datasheet, TPS62111RSAT pinout, TPS62111RSAT application, or TPS62111RSAT equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 3.3 V output, PFM/PWM hybrid operation mode, 1 MHz nominal switching frequency, SYNC-controlled noise/efficiency trade-off, and thermal shutdown protection at 145°C.
Technical Context
The TPS62111RSAT uses voltage-mode PWM control with input-voltage feedforward for fast transient response and stable regulation across 3.1–17 V input. It integrates N- and P-channel MOSFETs with typical RDS(ON) of 145 mΩ (N) and 165 mΩ (P), enabling high-efficiency conversion without external rectifiers.
In light-load conditions, it automatically enters pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode via SYNC = GND, reducing quiescent current to 20 µA while maintaining regulation; forced PWM mode (SYNC = HIGH) ensures constant 1 MHz operation for low-noise applications and EMI-sensitive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% over full load/temperature range - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A at VIN ≥ 6 V - supports moderate-power digital loads like microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.1 V to 17 V - compatible with 2–4-cell Li-ion batteries and standard 12-V industrial rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz nominal (900–1100 kHz) - enables use of compact 6.8 µH inductors and 22 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA typical (SYNC = GND) - extends battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| Efficiency | 92% at 12 VIN/3.3 VOUT/600 mA - minimizes thermal dissipation in space-constrained enclosures. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 145°C typical - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62111RSAT is housed in a thermally enhanced 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm, 16-pin VQFN (RSA) package with an exposed thermal pad soldered to AGND for optimal heat dissipation and mechanical reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for internal error amplifier and compensation network - must be connected to PGND/GND with short trace. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.3 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3 V) forces shutdown with <2 µA supply current - requires pullup if not actively driven. |
| FB (Pin 10) | Feedback node | Internally tied to 3.3 V output - no external divider needed; connects directly to VOUT for fixed-output operation. |
| PGND (Pins 1, 16) | Power ground return | High-current return path for SW node - must be routed separately from AGND and joined at single-point star ground. |
| SW (Pins 14, 15) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs - drives external inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| VIN (Pins 2, 3) | Main power input | Primary input rail (3.1–17 V); supplies power stage - requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor placed near pins. |
| VINA (Pin 8) | Analog supply input | Provides bias for control circuitry - decoupled with 1 µF capacitor; may be tied to VIN if same rail used. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | Frequency control | CMOS-level input: HIGH forces fixed-frequency PWM (low-noise); LOW enables PFM/PWM auto-switching (high-efficiency). |
| PG (Pin 13) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled high when VOUT > 98.4% of 3.3 V - requires external pullup to VOUT; invalid during first 250 µs after enable. |
| LBI/LBO (Pins 7, 6) | Low-battery monitor | LBI senses external divider; LBO asserts open-drain low when LBI < 1.256 V - disabled in shutdown; LBI must not float. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external synchronous rectifier, reducing BOM count and board area by ~30% vs discrete solutions. |
| PFM/PWM automatic mode transition | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 100 µA load - critical for battery-powered sleep modes in handheld devices. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Supports dropout operation as low as VOUT + 0.3 V - enables stable 3.3 V output even when input drops to 3.6 V. |
| Internal soft-start (1 ms typical) | Prevents input rail collapse during startup into large capacitive loads - avoids brownout in multi-rail systems. |
| Overcurrent and overtemperature protection | Current limit at 2.1–2.6 A and thermal shutdown at 145°C provide robust fault tolerance without external circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3.3 V fixed, 3-A output, 2.95–6 V input, 2.5 MHz switching - higher current but narrower input range. | Suitable for newer designs with 3.3 V rails fed from 5 V sources (e.g., USB-PD adapters), not 12 V or wide-input battery systems. | Select when output current >1.5 A is required and input is limited to ≤6 V; not drop-in due to different pinout and thermal pad configuration. |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 3.3 V fixed, 2-A output, 4.5–28 V input, 500 kHz switching - wider input but lower frequency and no PG/LBO features. | Better suited for cost-sensitive industrial sensors where low EMI is less critical and battery monitoring is handled externally. | Choose for 28 V max input compatibility and lower BOM cost; lacks power-good and low-battery outputs - requires external supervision circuitry. |
Compared with TPS62111RSAT, TPS62130ARGTR offers higher current but sacrifices 12-V rail compatibility and PG/LBO integration, while MP2315GJ-Z trades noise performance and feature set for broader input range and lower unit cost - making TPS62111RSAT optimal for legacy battery-powered designs needing full supervision in a compact 4×4 mm footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS62111RSAT?
The TPS62111RSAT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 20 V at VIN and VINA pins, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 3.1 V to 17 V. Operation above 17 V risks exceeding electrical specifications and may trigger undervoltage lockout recovery instability. Always observe the 17 V upper limit in continuous operation per TI SLVS585E datasheet Section 8.3.
Does the TPS62111RSAT require external feedback resistors for its 3.3 V output?
No, the TPS62111RSAT does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its internal voltage divider is pre-configured for 3.3 V, and the FB pin is internally connected to the output. Per datasheet Section 7, FB must be connected directly to VOUT - adding external resistors will disrupt regulation and cause output deviation.
How does the SYNC pin affect efficiency and noise performance of the TPS62111RSAT?
When SYNC is pulled low (GND), the TPS62111RSAT operates in PFM/PWM hybrid mode, achieving up to 95% efficiency at light loads with 20 µA quiescent current but introducing variable switching frequency noise. When SYNC is high, it forces fixed 1 MHz PWM operation - reducing EMI peaks and improving noise predictability at the cost of slightly lower light-load efficiency.
Can the TPS62111RSAT start up into a prebiased output voltage?
Yes, the TPS62111RSAT supports monotonic prebiased start-up. Its internal soft-start circuit prevents the N-channel MOSFET from turning on until the internal ramp exceeds the existing VOUT voltage, avoiding reverse current flow. This behavior is confirmed in Section 9.4.2 of the SLVS585E datasheet and enables safe hot-plug operation in multi-rail systems.
What thermal derating applies to the TPS62111RSAT in a 4-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour?
With a 4-layer board and 1-in² internal copper pour connected to the exposed thermal pad, the TPS62111RSAT's junction-to-board thermal resistance (ψJB) is ~16.4°C/W. At 1.5 A output and 12 V input, power dissipation is ~0.5 W; this yields ~8.2°C rise above board temperature. Full 1.5 A load is sustainable up to ~77°C ambient before reaching the 125°C max junction temperature per Section 8.3.
