Product details
Overview
TPS62205DBVTG4 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 for high efficiency across load range. It powers low-voltage processors in portable media players and smart phones.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62205DBVTG4 datasheet, TPS62205DBVTG4 pinout, TPS62205DBVTG4 application, or TPS62205DBVTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5 V fixed output, 15 µA quiescent current in power-save mode, SOT-23-5 package footprint, and dynamic voltage positioning for transient response headroom.
Technical Context
The TPS62205DBVTG4 uses a voltage-mode control architecture with input voltage feed-forward, enabling fast line and load regulation using only small ceramic capacitors. Its dual-mode operation switches between 1 MHz PWM at medium-to-heavy loads and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads.
Internally, it integrates P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with on-resistances of 670–850 mΩ and 530–660 mΩ respectively at 2.5 V input, and features undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.0 V), soft-start (800 µs typical with 10 µF output cap), and 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation for battery-end-of-life support.
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 - ensures stable core supply for 2.5 V logic without external feedback network. |
| 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 - sufficient for low-power DSPs, microcontrollers, and RF front-end biasing in portable systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in standby or intermittent-operation devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 650–1500 kHz (typ. 1 MHz) - enables compact 10 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output capacitor design. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at 200 mA / 3.7 V input - minimizes thermal dissipation in space-constrained handheld enclosures. |
| Enable Threshold | EN high ≥1.3 V, low ≤0.4 V - compatible with standard GPIOs and allows precise system-level power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62205DBVTG4 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts with minimal thermal resistance (RθJA = 220 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VI (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–6 V; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin for EMI suppression and transient stability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and feedback; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane under IC body. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulling below 0.4 V shuts down device to 0.1 µA, enabling system-level power gating. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace and Kelvin grounding to minimize ringing. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Internally tied to 2.5 V output divider - not user-configurable; must remain unconnected or directly shorted to output for fixed-version operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Output-Voltage Positioning | Output rises ~0.8% above 2.5 V at light load, providing headroom to absorb load-step undershoot without violating minimum supply spec. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Low-Dropout Mode | Enables regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT×rDS(on), extending usable battery voltage range in Li-ion applications. |
| Soft Start | Digitally stepped current limit (60/120/240/480 mA) limits inrush; achieves full 2.5 V output in ~800 µs with 10 µF COUT and 200 mA load. |
| High-Efficiency Power-Save Mode | Reduces switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA at light loads, maintaining >85% efficiency even at 1 mA output. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated N-channel MOSFET replaces external Schottky diode, eliminating reverse recovery loss and improving light-load efficiency. |
Applications

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 control architecture. | Requires redesign of downstream logic voltage levels; unsuitable where 2.5 V rail is mandated by interface standards. | Select only if system already uses 1.8 V core logic and no mixed-voltage domains exist. |
| TPS62231DQCR | Higher 600 mA output, 2.0–5.5 V input, and integrated soft-start; 6-pin WSON package. | Supports higher-current peripherals but requires PCB layout change and different thermal management. | Choose when future scalability to >300 mA or tighter input range (2.0 V min) is required. |
Compared with TPS62205DBVTG4, TPS62202DBVT offers identical form-factor and efficiency but lacks voltage compatibility for 2.5 V systems, while TPS62231DQCR delivers greater current headroom at the cost of larger footprint and revised enable timing.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62205DBVTG4 over temperature and load?
The TPS62205DBVTG4 maintains a fixed 2.5 V output with ±3% tolerance across the full operating ambient temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and full load range (0–300 mA). This specification is verified per TI's SLVS417F datasheet Section 6.5, ensuring reliable operation in consumer-grade portable environments without external trimming.
Does the TPS62205DBVTG4 require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62205DBVTG4 is a fixed-output variant - its internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed for 2.5 V, and the FB pin is internally connected. External resistors are unnecessary and must not be added; the FB pin should be left unconnected or directly tied to the output node per datasheet guidance.
Can the TPS62205DBVTG4 operate with a 2.5 V input supply?
No - the TPS62205DBVTG4 has a minimum input voltage of 2.7 V per Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 6.3). At 2.5 V input, undervoltage lockout activates (threshold 1.5–2.0 V), preventing startup. For 2.5 V input compatibility, consider TPS62201 (1.5 V fixed) or TPS62200 (adjustable down to 0.7 V).
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for continuous operation of the TPS62205DBVTG4?
The TPS62205DBVTG4 is rated for continuous operation up to +125°C junction temperature (TJ), with recommended ambient operating range of –40°C to +85°C. Thermal derating applies above 85°C ambient; RθJA = 220 °C/W requires careful PCB copper area design to maintain safe TJ under 300 mA load.
How does the TPS62205DBVTG4 achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The TPS62205DBVTG4 enters power-save mode below ~10 mA load, reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA. Its PFM control uses comparator thresholds set 0.8% and 1.6% above nominal 2.5 V to regulate output pulses, minimizing switching losses while maintaining tight voltage regulation - achieving >85% efficiency even at 1 mA.
