Product details
Overview
TPS62162QDSGTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering a fixed 3.3 V output at up to 1 A, operating from 3 V to 17 V input, featuring DCS-Control™ topology, power-good (PG) output, and 100% duty-cycle capability for battery-critical applications such as ADAS camera power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 datasheet, TPS62162QDSGTQ1 pinout, TPS62162QDSGTQ1 application, or TPS62162QDSGTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to 125°C), 2.25 MHz switching frequency, seamless PWM-to-Power Save Mode transition, and WSON-8 package thermal performance with RθJB = 35.5°C/W.
Technical Context
The TPS62162QDSGTQ1 implements DCS-Control™-a hybrid regulation architecture combining voltage-mode feedback with direct output-voltage sensing via the VOS pin and fast comparator-based transient response. It maintains constant 2.25 MHz nominal switching frequency in PWM mode and linearly scales frequency downward in Power Save Mode for light-load efficiency.
Its functional safety-capable design includes undervoltage lockout (2.7 V threshold, 180 mV hysteresis), thermal shutdown (160°C, 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit protection, and open-drain PG signaling with 92–98% rising threshold. The fixed 3.3 V output eliminates external feedback resistors, simplifying layout versus adjustable variants like TPS62160-Q1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 17 V - supports Li-ion batteries and 12-V automotive rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V - eliminates FB resistor network, improves thermal reliability vs. adjustable versions |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for SoC core logic, image sensors, and CAN transceivers |
| Switching Frequency | Typ. 2.25 MHz - enables use of compact 2.2 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 17 µA - sustains >90% efficiency down to ~1 mA load in Power Save Mode |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJB = 35.5°C/W - enables 1 A operation with minimal board copper area in WSON-8 package |
| Power-Good Threshold | 92–98% of 3.3 V (3.04–3.23 V) - provides robust rail sequencing margin for downstream logic |
Pinout & Package
The TPS62162QDSGTQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm WSON-8 package (DSG) with exposed thermal pad soldered to AGND for optimal power dissipation and mechanical reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power Ground | Low-impedance return path for high-current switch node; must be connected directly to input capacitor ground |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input Supply | Primary power input (3–17 V); requires local 10 µF ceramic decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; internal 400 kΩ pulldown ensures safe default-off state if left floating |
| AGND (Pin 4) | Analog Ground | Reference for feedback and control circuitry; tied to exposed thermal pad and system AGND plane |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback Input | Internally pulled to AGND for fixed 3.3 V operation; recommended to connect externally to AGND for improved thermal resistance |
| VOS (Pin 6) | Voltage Sense | Direct output voltage sensing node for DCS-Control™ loop; critical for fast transient response and accuracy |
| SW (Pin 7) | Switch Node | Connection point for external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
| PG (Pin 8) | Power-Good Output | Open-drain status signal requiring external pullup; asserts high when VOUT ≥ 3.04 V, high-impedance during shutdown/UVLO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control™ Topology | Combines fast comparator-based transient response with voltage-mode stability-enables <10 µs recovery from 50% load step without external compensation |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature-validates reliability in engine bay and ADAS sensor modules |
| Seamless Power Save Mode | Automatic transition between PWM and PSM preserves ±1% output regulation while maintaining >85% efficiency at 100 µA load |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + (IOUT × RDS(ON))-extends runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems dropping below 3.6 V |
| Integrated Protection | Includes UVLO (2.7 V), thermal shutdown (160°C), and hiccup-mode short-circuit response-reduces need for external fault management 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62160QDSGTQ1 | Adjustable output (0.9–6 V) via external FB divider; same DCS-Control™, package, and specs otherwise | Requires two external resistors; used where multiple output voltages share same BOM or dynamic voltage scaling is needed | Select when flexibility in output voltage outweighs component count and thermal derating penalty of FB routing |
| LM61480QRTWRQ1 | Higher 3.5-A rating, 2.1-MHz fixed frequency, different control loop; larger 3-mm × 3-mm VQFN package | Targets higher-power domains (e.g., radar SoCs); lacks seamless PSM and 100% duty cycle | Choose only if >1 A output or lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 36.5°C/W) is mandatory; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with TPS62162QDSGTQ1, TPS62160QDSGTQ1 offers voltage programmability at the cost of added components and slightly reduced thermal performance, while LM61480QRTWRQ1 trades seamless light-load efficiency and compact size for higher current capacity and different loop dynamics-neither is pin-compatible.

FAQ
What is the output voltage setting of the TPS62162QDSGTQ1?
The TPS62162QDSGTQ1 is factory-programmed to deliver a fixed 3.3 V output. Unlike the adjustable TPS62160-Q1 variant, it does not require external feedback resistors-FB is internally connected to AGND. This configuration improves thermal resistance and reduces component count in space-constrained automotive modules.
Does the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 support power sequencing with other rails?
Yes, the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 supports precise power sequencing via its EN (enable) and PG (power-good) pins. EN accepts standard logic-level signals for controlled startup timing, while the open-drain PG output-requiring an external pullup-asserts high once VOUT reaches 92% of 3.3 V (≥3.04 V), enabling coordination with downstream processors or FPGAs.
How does the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 handle low-input-voltage conditions during cold-cranking?
The TPS62162QDSGTQ1 features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with a 2.7 V threshold and 180 mV hysteresis. During cold-cranking, it remains operational down to ~2.52 V input and resumes regulation seamlessly once VIN exceeds 2.7 V. Its 100% duty-cycle mode further extends functionality when VIN approaches 3.3 V, sustaining output until VIN drops below ~3.45 V at full load.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 in a typical 2-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 2-layer board with 1 oz copper and the exposed thermal pad soldered to a 200 mm² AGND pour, the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 achieves RθJB = 35.5°C/W. At 1 A output and 12 V input, junction temperature rise is ~35°C above board temperature-well within the –40°C to 125°C operating range even at 85°C ambient, assuming no additional airflow.
Is the TPS62162QDSGTQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS6216x-Q1 family?
The TPS62162QDSGTQ1 shares identical pinout, package (WSON-8 DSG), and footprint with TPS62160QDSGTQ1 and TPS62161QDSGTQ1. However, functional differences exist: TPS62160-Q1 is adjustable, TPS62161-Q1 is 1.8 V fixed, and TPS62162-Q1 is 3.3 V fixed. Swapping requires verifying FB connection and output capacitor stability per each variant's datasheet.
