Product details
Overview
TPS62205DBVR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 2.5 V at up to 300 mA, operating from 2.7 V to 6 V input, with 1 MHz fixed-frequency PWM and power-save mode PFM operation. It targets low-power portable systems including smart phones and digital cameras where battery life and compact footprint are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62205DBVR datasheet, TPS62205DBVR pinout, TPS62205DBVR application, or TPS62205DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 V fixed output, 15 µA typical quiescent current in power-save mode, SOT-23-5 package compatibility, and dynamic voltage positioning for transient response headroom.
Technical Context
The TPS62205DBVR implements a fast-response voltage-mode control architecture with input voltage feed-forward, enabling stable regulation using only small ceramic capacitors (4.7 µF input, 10 µF output). Its dual-mode operation-fixed 1 MHz PWM under medium-to-heavy load and variable-frequency PFM at light loads-maximizes efficiency across the full 0–300 mA range.
Internally, it integrates complementary P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs (rDS(on) ≤850 mΩ and ≤660 mΩ respectively at 2.5 V), undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.0 V threshold), soft-start (digital stepped current limiting), and 100% duty-cycle low-dropout capability for extended battery runtime.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±3% over 0–300 mA load and 2.7–6 V input; enables direct powering of 2.5 V logic without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6.0 V; supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3-cell NiMH/NiCd, and standard 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous; sufficient for low-power DSPs, microcontrollers, and camera sensor interfaces. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode; extends battery life in standby or intermittent-use applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 650–1500 kHz (typ. 1 MHz); balances EMI control, inductor size, and transient response in space-constrained designs. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at 200 mA / 3.7 V input / 1.8 V output (per family data); TPS62205DBVR achieves comparable peak efficiency at its 2.5 V output point. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical; ensures near-zero system leakage when disabled via EN pin. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, thermal pad not present. Compatible with standard SOT-23 reflow profiles and pick-and-place equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VI (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.7–6 V supply; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and control circuits; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; <0.4 V disables device (0.1 µA IQ), >1.3 V enables with soft-start; must not float. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense | Internally tied to 2.5 V output divider; unused in fixed-output variants-no external components required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Voltage Positioning | Maintains output ~0.8% above nominal during light load, providing headroom to absorb load transients without undershoot. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT×rDS(on), maximizing usable battery voltage range in Li-ion systems. |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | P-channel (≤850 mΩ) and N-channel (≤660 mΩ) switches eliminate external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Soft-Start Function | Digital stepped current limit (60/120/240/480 mA) prevents input rail collapse during startup into large output capacitance. |
| Low-ESR Ceramic Optimization | Stable with 4.7 µF input and 10 µF output X5R/X7R ceramics-no tantalum or electrolytic capacitors needed. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62202DBVR | Fixed 1.8 V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except VO and FB internal divider ratio. | Requires redesign of downstream 1.8 V logic interface; unsuitable where 2.5 V rail is mandated by IC datasheet. | Select only if system voltage architecture aligns with 1.8 V; no PCB change needed beyond output capacitor adjustment. |
| TPS62204DBVR | Fixed 1.6 V output; same SOT-23-5 footprint, EN/SW/GND/VI pin mapping, and 300 mA rating. | Not interchangeable for 2.5 V loads; may serve as drop-in replacement in 1.6 V FPGA I/O banks or low-voltage sensors. | Valid alternative only for systems migrating to lower core voltages; verify all connected devices tolerate 1.6 V. |
Compared with TPS62205DBVR, TPS62202DBVR and TPS62204DBVR share identical thermal performance, enable behavior, and transient response-but differ solely in factory-trimmed output voltage, making them functionally distinct fixed-output variants within the same validated platform.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for TPS62205DBVR across temperature and load?
The TPS62205DBVR guarantees ±3% output voltage accuracy over 0–300 mA load current and –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Fixed output voltage" conditions with VI = 2.7 V to 6 V. This includes line, load, and temperature effects-no additional calibration or external trimming is required for compliance.
Can TPS62205DBVR operate from a 2.5 V input source?
No-TPS62205DBVR has a minimum input voltage specification of 2.7 V, as stated in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Attempting operation below 2.7 V may trigger undervoltage lockout (UVLO) or cause unstable regulation. For 2.5 V input compatibility, consider the TPS62200 adjustable variant or other TI buck converters rated down to 2.5 V.
Does TPS62205DBVR require external feedback resistors?
No-TPS62205DBVR is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider set for 2.5 V. The FB pin is pre-connected internally; no external resistors or capacitors are needed on that pin. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors affecting output accuracy.
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of TPS62205DBVR?
The TPS62205DBVR supports continuous operation up to +125°C junction temperature, as defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. With RθJA = 220°C/W in SOT-23-5, sustained 300 mA output at 6 V input requires careful thermal design-such as copper pour under the exposed pad (though DBV lacks thermal pad) and airflow-to avoid exceeding this limit.
How does the power-save mode in TPS62205DBVR affect output voltage ripple?
In power-save mode (PFM), TPS62205DBVR regulates output voltage using comparator thresholds rather than fixed-frequency PWM, resulting in output ripple independent of capacitor value-typically ±1% of VOUT. This differs from PWM mode, where ripple depends on ESR and COUT; the PFM behavior allows use of smaller 10 µF ceramics while maintaining acceptable transient performance.
