Product details
Overview
TPS62208DBVR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 1.875 V at up to 300 mA, operating from 2.5 V to 6 V input, with 1 MHz fixed-frequency PWM and power-save mode PFM operation. It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs in a 5-pin SOT-23 package and targets battery-powered portable electronics requiring high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62208DBVR datasheet, TPS62208DBVR pinout, TPS62208DBVR application, or TPS62208DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria 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 small 4.7 µF input / 10 µF output ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS62208DBVR employs a voltage-mode control architecture with input voltage feed-forward, enabling fast line and load transient response using only ceramic input/output capacitors. Its dual-mode operation-fixed-frequency PWM above ~66 mA and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) below-maintains >90% efficiency from 1 mA to full 300 mA load.
Internally, it integrates a 530 mΩ P-channel high-side switch and 430 mΩ N-channel synchronous rectifier (at VIN = 3.6 V), with undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.0 V), soft-start (800 µs typical with 10 µF CO and 200 mA load), and dynamic voltage positioning (0.8% nominal overvoltage at light load to minimize transient droop).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.875 V ±3% (ensures stable core supply for 1.8-V logic with margin for IR drop) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6.0 V (supports single-cell Li-ion, 3-cell NiMH, or 3.3/5-V rails without external regulation) |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA (sufficient for low-power DSPs, microcontrollers, and RF ICs in handheld devices) |
| Switching Frequency | 650–1500 kHz (typical 1 MHz; enables compact 10 µH inductor and minimal EMI filtering) |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode (extends battery life in standby/sleep states) |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at 200 mA (achieved via synchronous rectification and optimized gate drive) |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical (enables ultra-low leakage during system off-state) |
Pinout & Package
TPS62208DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for space-constrained portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VI (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.5–6 V supply; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and feedback; must connect to low-impedance 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 |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense | Internally tied to 1.875 V divider; not user-adjustable-bypassed in fixed-output variants |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing conduction loss and thermal footprint |
| Power-save mode (PFM) | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 1 mA load via frequency scaling and 15 µA IQ |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT × rDS(ON)_P, maximizing battery runtime |
| Dynamic voltage positioning | Pre-boosts output to +0.8% at light load, minimizing voltage sag during sudden 0→300 mA transients |
| Integrated soft-start | Staged current ramp limits inrush; achieves 1.875 V regulation in ~800 µs with 10 µF CO |

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 output voltage level; suitable where 1.8 V (not 1.875 V) aligns with SoC VDDIO spec | Select when system timing or voltage margining mandates exactly 1.8 V; no layout change needed |
| TPS62207DBVR | Fixed 1.2 V output; same 5-pin SOT-23, 2.5–6 V input, 300 mA rating, and PFM/PWM architecture | Targets lower-voltage logic domains (e.g., I²C, GPIO); incompatible with 1.875 V rail requirements | Choose only for 1.2 V applications; not a functional substitute for TPS62208DBVR's 1.875 V output |
Compared with TPS62202DBVR and TPS62207DBVR, the TPS62208DBVR provides a unique 1.875 V output optimized for specific memory interface and mixed-signal biasing needs-neither alternative delivers this exact voltage without external feedback modification, which is not supported in fixed-output variants.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62208DBVR over temperature and load?
The TPS62208DBVR maintains a fixed 1.875 V output with ±3% accuracy across the full operating ambient temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and output load current range (0 mA to 300 mA), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Fixed output voltage" conditions. This tolerance includes initial calibration, line regulation (0.26%/V), and load regulation (0.0014%/mA) contributions, ensuring reliable operation in thermally varying portable environments.
Does the TPS62208DBVR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62208DBVR does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its internal resistor divider is factory-trimmed to deliver 1.875 V; the FB pin is internally connected and must not be externally modified. Adding external components to the FB pin will disrupt regulation and is not supported per the datasheet.
Can the TPS62208DBVR operate with a 2.4 V input voltage?
No, the TPS62208DBVR has a minimum recommended input voltage of 2.5 V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Operation below 2.5 V risks undervoltage lockout activation (threshold 1.5–2.0 V), causing erratic startup or shutdown. For sub-2.5 V battery systems, consider TI's TPS6274x series or discrete LDO solutions.
What is the maximum achievable efficiency of the TPS62208DBVR and at what conditions?
The TPS62208DBVR achieves up to 95% peak efficiency at 200 mA load, 3.6 V input, and 1.875 V output, as shown in the Efficiency vs Load Current graph (Figure 7). Efficiency remains above 90% from 10 mA to 300 mA under VI = 3.7 V, confirming its suitability for applications with wide dynamic load ranges.
Is the TPS62208DBVR pin-compatible with other TPS6220x family members?
Yes, all TPS6220x devices-including TPS62208DBVR, TPS62202DBVR, and TPS62207DBVR-share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout (VI, GND, EN, FB, SW). This allows direct substitution within the same footprint when output voltage requirements align, provided the enable logic and thermal constraints are verified.
