Product details
Overview
TPS62228DDCR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering 1.875 V at up to 400 mA from a 2.5–6 V input. It integrates P- and N-channel MOSFETs, operates at 1.25 MHz PWM under load, enters power-save mode (PFM) below ~66 mA, and achieves up to 95% efficiency in portable Li-Ion or 3.3/5 V rail applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62228DDCR datasheet, TPS62228DDCR pinout, TPS62228DDCR application, or TPS62228DDCR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed efficiency vs. load curves, exact package mapping to TSOT23-5, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for 1.875 V buck conversion in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The TPS62228DDCR uses voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward to deliver fast line/load regulation using only ceramic input/output capacitors. Its internal 0.5 V reference and fixed 1.875 V output are set by factory-trimmed feedback resistors - no external divider required.
Under light load, it transitions to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) with dynamic voltage positioning: output rises to +0.8% of nominal (1.90 V) to absorb transient drops, then regulates back to ±3% tolerance across -40°C to 85°C ambient. Quiescent current drops to 15 µA typical in PFM mode, while undervoltage lockout prevents operation below 1.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.875 V ±3% over full load/temperature range - enables direct replacement of LDOs without external resistor tuning. |
| Max output current | 400 mA continuous - supports core logic rails for OMAP™ processors and low-power DSPs in handheld devices. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5 V to 6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-Ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3-cell NiMH (3.6 V), and standard 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |
| Switching frequency | 1.25 MHz typical (0.8–1.85 MHz range) - allows use of compact 4.7 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in standby states of PDAs, smart phones, and WLAN cards. |
| Efficiency peak | Up to 95% at 200 mA / 3.7 V input - minimizes thermal dissipation in thin-SOT23 package with 250°C/W θJA. |
| Enable threshold | EN high ≥1.3 V, low ≤0.4 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62228DDCR is housed in a 5-pin TSOT23 (DDC) package - 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.9 mm, 0.95 mm pitch - optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VI | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–6 V; must be decoupled with ≥4.7 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for stable PWM operation. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path for switch current and feedback reference; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulling to GND disables converter and reduces quiescent current to 0.1 µA. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback sense | Internally connected to fixed 1.875 V divider; left unconnected in fixed-output version - no external resistors needed. |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drives external 4.7 µH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace and Kelvin grounding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic output-voltage positioning | Maintains +0.8% headroom at light load (1.90 V) to absorb 400 mA transients without undershoot - enables 10 µF output capacitor instead of 22 µF. |
| 100% duty-cycle low-dropout mode | Continues regulation down to VIN = VOUT + IOUT × rDS(on) - maximizes usable battery voltage in Li-Ion systems. |
| Digital self-calibration | Adjusts duty cycle in 1% VOUT digital steps when output deviates >±1.6%, achieving near-zero line/load regulation error. |
| Soft-start circuit | Staged current limiting (83 → 167 → 335 → 670 mA) prevents input rail collapse during startup into large output capacitance. |
| Internal loop compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation components - simplifies design and improves reliability across temperature. |
Applications
| PDAs and Pocket PCs | Smart Phones |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62222DDCR | Fixed 1.8 V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except VOUT. | Suitable where system logic requires exactly 1.8 V (e.g., certain FPGA I/O banks), not 1.875 V. | Select if 1.8 V matches target rail; verify timing margins with 75 mV lower output. |
| TPS62229DDCR | Fixed 1.7 V output; same TSOT23-5 package, 400 mA rating, and PFM/PWM architecture. | Used in ultra-low-power microcontrollers or sensors needing 1.7 V bias, where 1.875 V would exceed max VDD. | Choose when downstream IC absolute maximum rating is <1.85 V - avoids overvoltage stress. |
Compared with TPS62228DDCR, TPS62222DDCR provides 1.8 V for legacy logic compatibility, while TPS62229DDCR offers 1.7 V for newer ultra-low-voltage MCUs - both retain identical efficiency, thermal performance, and layout compatibility in TSOT23-5.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62228DDCR over temperature and load?
The TPS62228DDCR delivers a fixed 1.875 V output with ±3% tolerance across the full operating range: -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature and 0–400 mA load current. This specification is guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Fixed output voltage" test conditions, with worst-case deviation measured at 2.5 V input and extreme temperatures.
Does the TPS62228DDCR require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the TPS62228DDCR does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor trimming that sets the output to 1.875 V. The FB pin is internally connected and must remain unconnected - unlike the adjustable TPS62220, which requires an external R1/R2 divider.
What is the minimum input voltage at which the TPS62228DDCR maintains regulation at 400 mA output?
At 400 mA load, the TPS62228DDCR maintains regulation down to approximately 2.15 V input, calculated using the 100% duty-cycle equation: VIN(min) = VOUT + IOUT × rDS(on,P)(max) + IOUT × RL. With rDS(on,P)(max) = 850 mΩ and typical inductor DCR <100 mΩ, this yields ~2.15 V - enabling full utilization of discharged Li-Ion cells.
How does the TPS62228DDCR achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The TPS62228DDCR achieves high light-load efficiency by entering power-save mode (PFM), reducing switching frequency and lowering quiescent current to 15 µA typical. In this mode, it uses dynamic voltage positioning - raising output to +0.8% of nominal - to minimize capacitor size while maintaining transient response, all without external components.
Can the TPS62228DDCR be used with a 4.7 µH inductor and 10 µF output capacitor?
Yes, the TPS62228DDCR is fully compatible with a 4.7 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output capacitor - this combination is explicitly validated in the Application Information section for output voltages >2 V. For 1.875 V, TI recommends ≥22 µF if using 4.7 µH, but 10 µF remains stable due to dynamic voltage positioning and internal compensation.
