Product details
Overview
TPS62201DBVT from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.5 V, 300 mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in SOT-23-5 package, operating from 2.5 V to 6 V input, with 1 MHz fixed-frequency PWM and power-save mode PFM operation, designed for low-power DSP and processor supplies in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62201DBVT datasheet, TPS62201DBVT pinout, TPS62201DBVT application, or TPS62201DBVT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 15 µA typical quiescent current in power-save mode, ±3% output voltage accuracy over load/temperature, 100% duty-cycle low-dropout capability, and compatibility with 4.7 µF input / 10 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS62201DBVT implements a voltage-mode control architecture with input-voltage feed-forward, enabling fast line and load transient response using only small ceramic capacitors. Its dual-mode operation-fixed 1 MHz PWM at medium-to-heavy loads and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads-maintains up to 95% efficiency across 10 µA–300 mA output current range.
Internally, it integrates P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with on-resistances of 670–850 mΩ (P-ch) and 530–660 mΩ (N-ch) at 2.5 V, undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.0 V), soft-start (800 µs typical with 10 µF COUT), and dynamic output voltage positioning to minimize transient droop/overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±3% over 0–300 mA load and –40°C to +85°C ambient - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage logic without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6.0 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3-cell NiMH/NiCd (3.6–4.5 V), and standard 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient for powering ARM Cortex-M cores, low-power FPGAs, or audio codecs in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or standby subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 650–1500 kHz (typ. 1 MHz) - enables compact 10 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output capacitor without compromising EMI or transient response. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at 200 mA with VIN = 3.7 V, VOUT = 1.5 V - reduces thermal stress and improves power density in handheld devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical - enables ultra-low leakage during system sleep states when EN is pulled low. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, with exposed pad not electrically connected - compatible with standard reflow profiles and manual soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VI | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.5–6 V; requires 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize high-frequency input ripple. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and IC bias; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; pull to VI to enable, to GND to shut down (0.1 µA IQ); must not float - internal pull-down absent. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback sense node | Internally tied to 1.5 V output divider; no external components required - simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors. |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drives external 10 µH inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace and tight coupling to GND to limit EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-save mode with PFM | Maintains ≥85% efficiency down to 10 µA load while reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA. |
| Dynamic voltage positioning | Raises output 0.8% above nominal at light load to provide headroom for load-step transients, minimizing undershoot. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables regulation down to VIN − VOUT ≈ 100 mV (at 300 mA), maximizing usable battery voltage range in Li-ion systems. |
| Soft-start circuitry | Staggers switch-current ramp-up (60 → 120 → 240 → 480 mA) to limit inrush, achieving 800 µs startup time with 10 µF COUT. |
| Integrated MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external high-side/low-side switches - reduces BOM count and PCB area versus controller-based solutions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62202DBVT | Fixed 1.8 V output; identical pinout, specs, and package - differs only in internal feedback divider ratio. | Requires redesign of downstream logic voltage levels if 1.5 V is mandatory; suitable where 1.8 V I/O compatibility exists. | Select when system uses 1.8 V tolerant peripherals and higher VOUT improves noise margin or reduces dropout loss. |
| TPS62205DBVT | Fixed 2.5 V output; same thermal performance and quiescent current, but higher VOUT increases conduction loss at same load. | Not suitable for 1.5 V core supplies; applicable only for 2.5 V analog or interface rails requiring tighter regulation. | Choose only if target rail is 2.5 V - avoids external resistor network needed with adjustable versions while retaining SOT-23 footprint. |
Compared with TPS62201DBVT, TPS62202DBVT offers higher output voltage for improved noise immunity in mixed-signal systems, while TPS62205DBVT serves 2.5 V rails but incurs ~12% higher conduction loss at 300 mA due to increased VOUT–VIN differential.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62201DBVT over temperature and load?
The TPS62201DBVT delivers a fixed 1.5 V output with ±3% accuracy across the full operating range: –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature and 0–300 mA output current. This specification is verified per TI's SLVS417F datasheet Section 6.5, ensuring reliable operation in consumer and industrial environments without external trimming.
Does the TPS62201DBVT require external feedback resistors?
No. The TPS62201DBVT is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback divider set for 1.5 V; the FB pin is pre-connected internally and requires no external resistors. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors, saves PCB area, and simplifies design versus adjustable versions like the TPS62200.
Can the TPS62201DBVT operate with input voltage below 2.5 V?
No. The TPS62201DBVT has a minimum recommended input voltage of 2.5 V and an undervoltage lockout threshold of 1.5–2.0 V. Operation below 2.5 V violates Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 6.3 of SLVS417F) and may cause unstable regulation or shutdown.
What is the maximum achievable efficiency of the TPS62201DBVT and under what conditions?
The TPS62201DBVT achieves up to 95% peak efficiency at 200 mA output current with 3.7 V input and 1.5 V output, as shown in Figure 7 of the SLVS417F datasheet. Efficiency remains above 85% from 10 mA to 300 mA, enabled by automatic transition between PWM and PFM modes.
Is the TPS62201DBVT RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The TPS62201DBVT is manufactured in TI's RoHS-compliant, lead-free SOT-23-5 (DBV) package per JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 handling requirements for surface-mount assembly.
