Product details
Overview
TPS62148RGXR from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, 3-V to 17-V input, 2-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with DCS-Control topology, ±1% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode, active output discharge, and 1.25/2.5 MHz selectable switching frequency - used in industrial PC power rails and video surveillance POL supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62148RGXR datasheet, TPS62148RGXR pinout, TPS62148RGXR application, or TPS62148RGXR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 11-pin VQFN (2 mm × 3 mm) package, precise ENABLE threshold (0.7–0.83 V), 18 µA quiescent current, 100% duty-cycle capability, and active output discharge function exclusive to this variant.
Technical Context
The TPS62148RGXR implements DCS-Control topology - combining fast transient response via direct voltage feedback to a comparator with stable DC regulation through an internal compensated voltage loop - enabling seamless transition between PWM and PFM modes without audible noise or output voltage disturbance.
It supports forced PWM (via MODE = high) at fixed 1.25 MHz or 2.5 MHz (FSEL-configurable), or automatic AEE-enabled PWM/PFM operation (MODE = low) where switching frequency scales dynamically with load, input, and output voltage to sustain >90% efficiency from 1 mA to 2 A across 3–17 V input and 0.8–12 V output ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 17 V - supports multi-cell Li-ion batteries and standard 12-V intermediate rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - delivers full rated current with thermal derating managed by RθJA = 38.4°C/W in RGX package. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% in PWM mode - enables tight regulation for FPGA core supplies and ADC reference rails without post-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 µA typical - sustains ultra-low standby power in always-on industrial sensors and surveillance systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25 MHz or 2.5 MHz (FSEL-selectable) - allows compact 1–2.2 µH inductor selection and EMI filtering below 10 MHz. |
| Active Output Discharge | Enabled (TPS62148 only) - discharges VOUT via internal 100-Ω switch when disabled, preventing floating outputs in sequenced systems. |
| Power Good Output | Open-drain PG with 93–98% VOUT threshold - provides reliable rail sequencing signal for multi-rail processors and FPGAs. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62148RGXR is housed in a 2-mm × 3-mm, 11-pin VQFN (RGX) package with wettable flanks, optimized for thermal performance (RθJC(bot) = 3.2°C/W) and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 3–17 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to external 1–2.2 µH inductor; carries high di/dt; must minimize trace inductance and loop area. |
| GND / AGND | Ground terminals | GND is power ground; AGND is analog ground - both must connect to same low-impedance plane under IC body. |
| FB | Voltage feedback | Senses output via resistive divider; 0.7-V reference enables 0.8–12 V adjustable output with ±1% accuracy. |
| VOS | Output voltage sense | Direct Kelvin connection to output capacitor anode - improves load regulation and enables active discharge control. |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; asserts low if EN=low, UVLO active, or thermal shutdown triggered. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible input with 0.7–0.83 V rising threshold; supports programmable UVLO and precise power sequencing. |
| SS/TR | Soft-start/tracking | Controls startup ramp time (150 µs typical) or enables supply tracking with external resistor network. |
| MODE | Operating mode select | Pull low for AEE-enabled PWM/PFM; pull high for fixed-frequency forced PWM - no PCB change needed. |
| FSEL | Frequency select | Pull low for 1.25 MHz; pull high for 2.5 MHz - sets on-time (800 ns or 400 ns × VOUT/VIN) in forced PWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Combines hysteretic speed and voltage-mode stability - achieves <10-µs load transient response with <1% undershoot/overshoot. |
| Automatic Efficiency Enhancement (AEE) | Adapts switching frequency and on-time in PWM/PFM mode - maintains >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 2 A across full VIN/VOUT range. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as VOUT + IOUT × (RDS(on) + RL) - extends battery runtime in portable industrial equipment. |
| Precise ENABLE input | 0.7–0.83 V rising threshold with 100-mV hysteresis - allows RC-based delay, custom UVLO, and robust sequencing without external supervisors. |
| Active output discharge | Internal 100-Ω switch tied to VOS - discharges output within milliseconds after disable, eliminating need for external discharge circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62147RGXR | No active output discharge; HICCUP overcurrent protection instead of foldback; identical pinout, specs, and package. | Suitable where output discharge is unnecessary and hiccup-mode fault recovery is preferred for short-circuit resilience. | Select TPS62147RGXR when active discharge is not required and hiccup-mode OCP better matches system fault-handling strategy. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Buck-boost architecture; 1.8–5.5-V input; 2.5-A output; no PG or VOS pins; different pinout and control interface. | Used where input voltage may fall below output (e.g., single-cell Li-ion); lacks rail sequencing and precision discharge features. | Choose TPS63020DSJR only for true buck-boost needs - not a drop-in replacement; requires layout and firmware changes. |
Compared with TPS62147RGXR, the TPS62148RGXR adds active output discharge at no cost to size or efficiency, making it preferable for sequenced multi-rail systems; versus TPS63020DSJR, it offers superior accuracy, PG signaling, and buck-only optimization for stable 12-V input environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS62148RGXR?
The TPS62148RGXR delivers up to 2 A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). Its RDS(on) values (100 mΩ high-side, 39 mΩ low-side) and 38.4°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance enable this rating in the 2 mm × 3 mm RGX package with adequate copper area.
Does the TPS62148RGXR support output voltage tracking?
Yes, the TPS62148RGXR supports voltage tracking via its SS/TR pin. When configured with an external resistor network, it can follow the ramp of another supply during startup - enabling coordinated sequencing for multi-rail SoCs or FPGAs. The tracking gain is 1×, with a 11-mV offset at VSS/TR = 0 V, as specified in the electrical characteristics table.
How does the active output discharge function work on the TPS62148RGXR?
The TPS62148RGXR integrates an active output discharge switch connected to the VOS pin. When the device is disabled (EN = low), the internal 100-Ω NMOS switch turns on, discharging the output capacitor to near ground within milliseconds. This eliminates floating voltages and ensures safe, predictable power-down behavior - a feature absent in the TPS62147RGXR variant.
What are the key differences between TPS62148RGXR and TPS62147RGXR?
The TPS62148RGXR and TPS62147RGXR share identical pinout, package, input/output specs, and DCS-Control architecture. The primary differences are: (1) TPS62148RGXR includes active output discharge (VOS-connected switch); (2) TPS62147RGXR uses hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, while TPS62148RGXR employs foldback current limiting. Both are RGX-packaged and pin-compatible.
Can the TPS62148RGXR operate with 100% duty cycle, and what is its minimum input voltage?
Yes, the TPS62148RGXR supports 100% duty-cycle operation to maintain regulation when VIN approaches VOUT. Minimum input voltage depends on load: VIN(min) ≈ VOUT + IOUT × (RDS(on) + RL). With 2-A load, 100-mΩ high-side RDS(on), and 20-mΩ inductor DCR, VIN(min) is ~VOUT + 0.24 V - enabling extended battery life in portable industrial tools.
