Product details
Overview
TPS62223DDCR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 2.3-V/400-mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in TSOT23-5 package, operating at 1.25-MHz PWM with power-save mode, designed for Li-Ion and 3.3-V/5-V rail-powered portable systems including smart phones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62223DDCR datasheet, TPS62223DDCR pinout, TPS62223DDCR application, or TPS62223DDCR equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.3-V fixed output accuracy (±3%), 15-µA quiescent current in power-save mode, 2.5–6-V input range, and 95% peak efficiency at 200-mA load - all critical for battery runtime and thermal design in space-constrained handheld devices.
Technical Context
The TPS62223DDCR uses voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward to deliver fast line/load regulation and stable operation with small ceramic capacitors. Its internal 0.5-V reference and fixed 2.3-V output are achieved via trimmed internal feedback divider - no external resistors required.
At light loads (<66 mA), it enters pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) power-save mode, reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA typical while maintaining dynamic output voltage positioning (0.8% low-load boost). At heavier loads, it transitions seamlessly to fixed 1.25-MHz PWM operation with current-limit protection (600–880 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.3 V ±3% over full load and line range - enables direct supply to 2.3-V I/O rails without external feedback tuning. |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA continuous - supports core logic and peripheral ICs in compact portable systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-Ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3.3-V, and 5-V system rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25 MHz typical (0.8–1.85 MHz range) - allows use of small 4.7-µH inductors and <10-µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in standby/sleep states of always-on devices. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% at 200 mA - minimizes thermal dissipation in sealed enclosures like smartphones and digital cameras. |
| Enable Threshold | EN high ≥1.3 V, low ≤0.4 V - ensures reliable startup/shutdown control from standard GPIOs or battery monitors. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62223DDCR is housed in a 5-pin TSOT23 (DDC) package - 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm, surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VI | Power Input | Accepts 2.5–6 V supply; requires 4.7-µF ceramic input capacitor close to pin for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane for noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| 3 - EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; pulling below 0.4 V disables converter and reduces quiescent current to 0.1 µA. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback Input | Internally connected to fixed 2.3-V divider; left unconnected in fixed-output versions - no external resistor network needed. |
| 5 - SW | Switch Node | Drives external 4.7-µH inductor; carries high di/dt pulses - requires short, wide trace and tight layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Output-Voltage Positioning | Maintains output 0.8% above nominal (2.318 V) at light load to absorb transient droop during sudden load steps - enables use of only 10-µF output capacitance. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Low-Dropout Mode | Operates with P-channel switch fully on when VI approaches VO - extends usable battery voltage down to ~2.45 V at 400 mA (rDS(on)-limited). |
| Digital Self-Calibration | Adjusts duty cycle in 1%-of-VO digital steps when output deviates >±1.6% - achieves near-zero DC line/load regulation without external compensation. |
| Soft-Start Ramp | Digitally controlled current limit ramp (83 → 167 → 335 → 670 mA) - prevents input rail collapse during startup from weak sources like coin cells or aging batteries. |
| Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) | Turns off converter below 1.5–2.0 V input - avoids erratic operation and MOSFET shoot-through during brownout conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62222DDCR | Fixed 1.8-V output; identical package, pinout, and control architecture. | Targets 1.8-V logic families (e.g., older OMAP processors); lower output requires different output capacitor derating per datasheet Table 1. | Select when system requires 1.8-V rail instead of 2.3 V - no layout change needed, but verify load regulation and transient behavior at lower VO. |
| TPS62225DDCR | Fixed 2.2-V output; same 1.25-MHz switching, 400-mA rating, and TSOT23-5 package. | Suitable for 2.2-V FPGA I/O banks or specific ASIC voltage domains; 100-mV lower VO reduces dropout margin at low VI. | Choose for tighter 2.2-V tolerance requirements; validate low-VI operation (e.g., 2.5-V start) against rDS(on) and dropout curves. |
Compared with TPS62223DDCR, TPS62222DDCR delivers 0.5 V less output - advantageous for legacy 1.8-V logic but requiring revalidation of load transient headroom; TPS62225DDCR offers 0.1 V lower output with nearly identical performance, making it a closer functional match for 2.2–2.3-V domain migration.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62223DDCR over temperature and load?
The TPS62223DDCR maintains a fixed 2.3-V output with ±3% tolerance across the full operating ambient temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and full load range (0–400 mA), as verified under VI = 2.5–6 V conditions per the SLVS491E datasheet Electrical Characteristics table. This specification includes both initial accuracy and drift due to line, load, and temperature variation - no external calibration is required.
Does the TPS62223DDCR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62223DDCR does not require external feedback resistors. It is the fixed-output variant (2.3 V) in the TPS6222x family and uses an internally trimmed resistor divider referenced to the 0.5-V bandgap. The FB pin is internally connected and must be left unconnected - unlike the adjustable TPS62220, which requires external R1/R2.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 400 mA output with the TPS62223DDCR?
Based on the low-dropout 100% duty-cycle operation and maximum P-channel rDS(on) of 850 mΩ at 2.5 V, the minimum input voltage for regulation at 400 mA is approximately 2.45 V. This accounts for VO (2.3 V), IO × rDS(on) (0.4 A × 0.85 Ω = 0.34 V), and inductor DCR - consistent with the device's ability to operate down to 2.5 V nominal input.
Can the TPS62223DDCR be used with a 4.7-µH inductor and 10-µF output capacitor?
Yes, the TPS62223DDCR is validated for use with a 4.7-µH inductor and 10-µF ceramic output capacitor - especially for output voltages >2 V per Table 1 in the datasheet. This combination supports stable operation with dynamic voltage positioning and meets ESR/ESL requirements for fast transient response in portable applications.
How does the TPS62223DDCR enter and exit power-save mode?
The TPS62223DDCR automatically enters power-save mode (PFM) when load current drops below ~66 mA, detected via discontinuous conduction or P-channel peak current falling below the skip threshold. It exits PFM and resumes 1.25-MHz PWM when output voltage falls below the "Comp Low 2" threshold (~0.8% below nominal), ensuring seamless transition without output glitches.
