Product details
Overview
TPS62151RGTT from Texas Instruments is a 1-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with fixed 1.8-V output, DCS-Control™ topology, 3-V to 17-V input range, and 17-µA quiescent current - designed for POL supplies in solid-state drives, embedded systems, and mobile PCs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62151RGTT datasheet, TPS62151RGTT pinout, TPS62151RGTT application, or TPS62151RGTT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8-V fixed output, VQFN-16 (3 mm × 3 mm) package, power-good open-drain output, seamless PWM-to-power-save mode transition, and thermal/short-circuit protection.
Technical Context
The TPS62151RGTT implements DCS-Control™ topology, combining voltage-mode and hysteretic control to deliver fast transient response and high output-voltage accuracy without external compensation. Its internal error amplifier and direct-control comparator enable stable regulation with low-ESR capacitors and small inductors.
It supports dual operating frequencies (1.25 MHz / 2.5 MHz via FSW pin), 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout, and programmable soft-start/tracking via SS/TR pin - enabling monotonic start-up into pre-biased rails and precise power sequencing with EN and PG pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 17 V - supports single/multi-cell Li-ion batteries and standard 12-V intermediate rails. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% - internally trimmed; no external feedback resistors required. |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - sustained across full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). |
| Quiescent Current | 17 µA typical - enables >100-hour battery life in always-on embedded sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 1.25 MHz or 2.5 MHz - balances efficiency vs. solution size; 2.5-MHz default enables ≤1-µH inductors. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Power-Good Output | Open-drain PG with 92–98% rising threshold - provides reliable rail sequencing signal for downstream logic. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62151RGTT uses a 16-pin VQFN package (RGT) with 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body and exposed thermal pad soldered to AGND/PGND for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 45°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2,3 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high-frequency pulsed current; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI. |
| 4 PG | Power-good output | Open-drain status signal; requires external pullup; asserts high when VOUT ≥ 92% of nominal. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to fixed 1.8-V divider; recommended tied to AGND for thermal stability. |
| 6 AGND | Analog ground | Reference for control circuitry; must connect directly to thermal pad and system ground plane. |
| 7 FSW | Frequency select | Pull low for 2.5-MHz operation (default); pull high for 1.25-MHz to improve light-load efficiency. |
| 8 DEF | Output voltage scaling | Pull high to raise output to 1.89 V (+5%); internal 400-kΩ pulldown ensures nominal voltage if floating. |
| 9 SS/TR | Soft-start/tracking | External capacitor sets ramp time; supports pre-biased start-up and voltage tracking with master rail. |
| 10 AVIN | Analog supply | Bias for control logic; tie to PVIN to avoid noise coupling between analog and power domains. |
| 11,12 PVIN | Power supply input | High-current path for MOSFET drivers; requires local 10-µF ceramic decoupling near pins. |
| 13 EN | Enable input | Active-high logic; internal 400-kΩ pulldown ensures shutdown on float; enables multi-rail sequencing. |
| 14 VOS | Voltage sense | Direct connection to output for precision regulation; improves load/line regulation vs. remote sensing. |
| 15,16 PGND | Power ground | Return path for high-current switches; must connect to thermal pad and minimize loop area with PVIN/SW. |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Soldered to AGND/PGND plane; critical for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control™ topology | Enables <1% output voltage deviation under 1-A load step with no external compensation components. |
| Seamless power-save mode | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1-mA load while eliminating audible switching noise and output ripple spikes. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Regulates down to VIN = VOUT + IOUT × RDS(on) - extends battery runtime in Li-ion applications below 2.5 V. |
| Programmable soft-start | Adjustable start-up time (1–100 ms) via SS/TR capacitor prevents inrush current in high-capacitance loads. |
| Integrated protection | Combines thermal shutdown (160°C), overcurrent limiting (~1.7 A peak), and undervoltage lockout (2.7 V) with hysteresis. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62152RGTT | Fixed 3.3-V output; identical pinout, package, and feature set. | Requires redesign of output filter and load interface for higher voltage rail. | Select when system needs 3.3-V logic supply instead of 1.8-V core voltage. |
| TPS62130ARGTT | Adjustable output (0.9–6 V); same 1-A rating but lacks DEF/FSW pins and has different PG logic. | Needs external feedback resistors and cannot support voltage margining or frequency selection. | Choose only if adjustable output and lower BOM cost outweigh loss of 1.8-V optimization and advanced sequencing features. |
Compared with TPS62152RGTT and TPS62130ARGTT, the TPS62151RGTT delivers optimized 1.8-V regulation with integrated voltage scaling (DEF), frequency selection (FSW), and tracking (SS/TR) - reducing external component count by 30% and enabling tighter power sequencing in space-constrained applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62151RGTT under full load and temperature range?
The TPS62151RGTT delivers a fixed 1.8-V output with ±1.5% initial accuracy over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and full 1-A load. This specification includes line and load regulation effects, verified per TI's SLVSAL5E datasheet Section 7.5, and remains stable across input voltages from 3 V to 17 V without external trimming.
Does the TPS62151RGTT require external feedback resistors for its 1.8-V output?
No, the TPS62151RGTT does not require external feedback resistors. Its 1.8-V output is internally trimmed using a precision resistor divider, and the FB pin is internally connected to this network. TI recommends connecting FB directly to AGND in fixed-output versions to enhance thermal performance and reduce noise coupling.
How does the TPS62151RGTT handle start-up into a pre-biased output voltage?
TPS62151RGTT supports monotonic pre-biased start-up: when enabled, it holds both MOSFETs off until its internal soft-start ramp exceeds the existing output voltage. This prevents reverse current flow and ensures controlled voltage rise, as confirmed in Section 8.3.2 of the SLVSAL5E datasheet and validated in Figure 9-34.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPS62151RGTT to maintain 1.8-V regulation at 1-A load?
At 1-A load, the TPS62151RGTT maintains 1.8-V regulation down to approximately 2.15 V input, calculated using VIN(min) = VOUT + IOUT × RDS(on) + IOUT × RL, where RDS(on) (high-side) is 120 mΩ at 3 V input and typical inductor DCR is ~20 mΩ - consistent with Section 8.4.3 equations and thermal derating limits.
Can the TPS62151RGTT be used in place of an LDO for 1.8-V regulation, and what are the key trade-offs?
Yes, the TPS62151RGTT is explicitly positioned as an LDO replacement in TI's documentation. Key trade-offs include higher efficiency (>90% vs. <50% for LDOs at 12-V input), reduced thermal stress, and smaller solution size - offset by added complexity in EMI filtering and inductor selection. Its 17-µA quiescent current also matches ultra-low-IQ LDOs, making it viable for always-on systems.
