Product details
Overview
TPS62205DBVT from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 2.5 V at up to 300 mA from a 2.7–6 V input. It operates at 1 MHz PWM under load and transitions to PFM power-save mode at light loads, achieving up to 95% efficiency and 15 µA quiescent current. It powers low-voltage processors in battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62205DBVT datasheet, TPS62205DBVT pinout, TPS62205DBVT application, or TPS62205DBVT equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 2.5 V output, SOT-23-5 package constraints, enable-controlled shutdown (0.1 µA), dynamic voltage positioning for transient headroom, and compatibility with 4.7 µF input / 10 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS62205DBVT uses a voltage-mode control architecture with input voltage feed-forward, enabling fast line/load regulation and stable operation with small ceramic capacitors. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates external diode losses and supports 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT × rDS(ON).
It features integrated undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.0 V threshold), soft-start limiting inrush current (typical 800 µs with 10 µF COUT), and dynamic voltage positioning-raising output ~0.8% above nominal at light load to minimize droop during sudden load steps. Power-save mode activates below ~66 mA, reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±3% over 2.7–6 V input and 0–300 mA load - ensures stable core supply for 2.5 V logic without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6.0 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3-cell NiMH/NiCd, or standard 3.3/5 V rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient for low-power DSPs, microcontrollers, and RF ICs in handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 650–1500 kHz (typ. 1 MHz) - enables compact 10 µH inductor and low-profile 0805 ceramic capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in standby/sleep states of portable equipment. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical - minimizes system leakage when EN is pulled low. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at mid-load - reduces thermal stress and improves runtime in space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62205DBVT is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for high-density portable designs. Thermal resistance RθJA is 220°C/W, requiring minimal copper pour for thermal management at 300 mA continuous load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VI (Pin 1) | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.7–6 V; must be decoupled with ≥4.7 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for switch current; connects directly to power plane under IC body. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: >1.3 V enables regulation; <0.4 V forces shutdown (0.1 µA IQ); must not float. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed current up to 670 mA peak; requires short, low-inductance trace. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Internally tied to 2.5 V reference; no external divider needed - simplifies layout and eliminates resistor noise sensitivity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side MOSFETs eliminate external diode, improving efficiency by ~10% vs. asynchronous buck. |
| Dynamic voltage positioning | Raises output ~0.8% above 2.5 V at light load to provide headroom for load-step transients - reduces required output capacitance to 10 µF. |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT; extends usable battery range in Li-ion systems from 4.2 V down to ~2.5 V. |
| Soft-start circuit | Digital ramp limits inrush current in steps (60/120/240/480 mA); achieves full output in ~800 µs with 10 µF COUT and 200 mA load. |
| Undervoltage lockout | Disables switching below 1.5–2.0 V input - prevents erratic startup or brownout behavior during battery depletion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62202DBVT | Fixed 1.8 V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except VO and FB internal divider ratio. | Requires redesign of downstream logic voltage levels; unsuitable where 2.5 V is mandated by interface standards (e.g., SDIO, certain SPI peripherals). | Select only if system-level voltage rails align with 1.8 V - avoids requalification but mandates full schematic review. |
| TPS62207DBVT | Fixed 1.2 V output; same thermal and transient performance; lower VREF (0.5 V) retained but internal divider scaled for 1.2 V. | Targets ultra-low-power MCU cores (e.g., MSP430FRxx); incompatible with 2.5 V I/O peripherals without level-shifting. | Valid alternative only for new designs targeting sub-1.8 V logic families - not a drop-in replacement for existing 2.5 V systems. |
Compared with TPS62205DBVT, TPS62202DBVT and TPS62207DBVT share identical thermal design, PCB layout, and enable/shutdown behavior but differ exclusively in factory-trimmed output voltage - making them functionally interchangeable only when system voltage architecture permits the alternate rail.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the TPS62205DBVT across temperature and load?
The TPS62205DBVT delivers 2.5 V with ±3% tolerance over the full operating range: input voltage 2.7–6 V, output current 0–300 mA, and ambient temperature –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed per TI's SLVS417F datasheet Section 6.5, where VO accuracy is tested at both IO = 0 mA and IO = 300 mA under varying VI and TA conditions. The TPS62205DBVT maintains this tolerance without external trimming or calibration.
Can the TPS62205DBVT operate with an input voltage below 2.7 V?
No - the TPS62205DBVT has a minimum recommended input voltage of 2.7 V per Section 6.3 of the datasheet. Below this, undervoltage lockout engages (threshold 1.5–2.0 V), disabling switching. While the device may briefly regulate near 2.6 V under light load, it is not characterized or guaranteed for operation below 2.7 V. For sub-2.7 V battery operation, consider TPS62200 (adjustable) with external feedback or newer alternatives like TPS6282x series.
Does the TPS62205DBVT require external compensation components?
No - the TPS62205DBVT uses an internally compensated voltage-mode controller optimized for 4.7 µF input and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. Section 8.2.2.4 of the datasheet confirms no external compensation network is needed. Adding external RC networks on the FB pin invalidates the stability guarantee and may cause oscillation or poor transient response. The TPS62205DBVT achieves stable operation solely with the specified passive components.
How does the power-save mode of the TPS62205DBVT affect output voltage ripple?
In power-save mode (PFM), the TPS62205DBVT regulates output voltage using comparator thresholds rather than fixed-frequency PWM, resulting in output ripple of ~1% of VO (±12.5 mV at 2.5 V) - independent of output capacitor value. This differs from PWM mode, where ripple depends on COUT ESR and switching frequency. The TPS62205DBVT's dynamic voltage positioning further mitigates transient droop, ensuring total deviation remains within ±3% even during rapid load changes.
Is the TPS62205DBVT pin-compatible with other TPS6220x variants?
Yes - all TPS6220x devices, including TPS62205DBVT, use identical SOT-23-5 (DBV) packaging and pinout (VI, GND, EN, FB, SW). Pin compatibility allows direct substitution between fixed-output versions (e.g., TPS62202, TPS62205, TPS62208) without PCB modification. However, output voltage and FB internal divider differ, so firmware or downstream voltage tolerance must be verified before replacement.
