Product details
Overview
TPS62228DDCT 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 and transitions to power-save mode (PFM) at light loads, achieving up to 95% efficiency. Designed for space-constrained portable systems, it powers core logic in OMAP™ processors and low-voltage DSPs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62228DDCT datasheet, TPS62228DDCT pinout, TPS62228DDCT application, or TPS62228DDCT equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, TSOT23-5 package details, confirmed functional alternatives, and design-critical behavior including dynamic voltage positioning, 15 µA quiescent current, and 100% duty-cycle dropout operation.
Technical Context
The TPS62228DDCT uses voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward to deliver fast line/load regulation using only ceramic input/output capacitors. Its internal digital self-calibration adjusts duty cycle in ~1% output voltage steps to maintain ±3% tolerance across line and load variations without external compensation components.
Under light load, it enters power-save mode with pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA typical. Dynamic output-voltage positioning holds output 0.8% above nominal during light load to absorb transient drops, while soft-start limits inrush current via stepped switch-current ramping (83/167/335/670 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) and standard 3.3 V/5 V rails without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.875 V ±3% - factory-trimmed reference enables precise core supply for OMAP™ and TMS320™ DSPs. |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA - sufficient for processor cores and I/O peripherals in PDAs, smart phones, and portable media players. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25 MHz typical - enables use of small 4.7 µH inductors and 10–22 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in standby and low-activity states. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% - achieved at medium-to-heavy loads with synchronous rectification eliminating external Schottky losses. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 100% - maintains regulation down to VI = VO + IO × rDS(on)_P + IL × RL, maximizing usable battery range. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62228DDCT is housed in a 5-pin TSOT23 (DDC) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm, optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| 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 reduction. |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance and thermally connected to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 - EN | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; pulled high to enable operation, grounded to enter shutdown (0.1 µA IQ); must not float. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 0.5 V reference; unused in fixed-output TPS62228DDCT - leave unconnected per datasheet. |
| 5 - SW | Switch Node | Drives external 4.7 µH inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout, minimal trace length, and guard ring to reduce EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Output-Voltage Positioning | Maintains output 0.8% above nominal during light load to provide headroom for 400 mA transient drops without undershoot. |
| Digital Self-Calibration | Adjusts duty cycle in discrete ~1% output voltage steps to hold ±3% accuracy across temperature, line, and load without external resistors. |
| Soft-Start Ramp | Sequences switch current limits (83 → 167 → 335 → 670 mA) to limit inrush, preventing input rail collapse on weak sources like batteries. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables regulation down to VI ≈ VO when input voltage sags near output level - critical for full battery utilization in Li-ion systems. |
| Integrated Synchronous Switches | Eliminates need for external rectifier diode; P-channel (670 mΩ typ @ 3.6 V) and N-channel (540 mΩ typ @ 3.6 V) MOSFETs reduce conduction loss. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62228DDCT over temperature and load?
The TPS62228DDCT maintains a fixed 1.875 V output with ±3% tolerance across the full operating range of -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature and 0–400 mA load current. This specification is guaranteed by internal digital self-calibration that adjusts duty cycle in ~1% output voltage steps whenever the output deviates more than ±1.6% from nominal, ensuring consistent accuracy without external components.
Does the TPS62228DDCT require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62228DDCT does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its 1.875 V regulation is achieved via an internal trimmed resistor divider connected to the 0.5 V reference. The FB pin is internally terminated and must remain unconnected in this configuration - unlike the adjustable TPS62220, no external R1/R2 network is needed or supported.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at full load with the TPS62228DDCT?
At 400 mA output, the TPS62228DDCT maintains regulation down to VI ≈ VO + IO × rDS(on)_P_max + IL × RL. Using typical values - VO = 1.875 V, IO = 400 mA, rDS(on)_P_max = 0.85 Ω @ 2.5 V, and assuming a 20 mΩ inductor DCR - minimum VI is approximately 2.25 V. This 100% duty-cycle capability enables full utilization of depleted Li-ion cells.
How does the TPS62228DDCT manage light-load efficiency?
The TPS62228DDCT achieves up to 95% peak efficiency and sustains high light-load efficiency by automatically entering power-save mode (PFM) when load current drops below ~66 mA. In this mode, switching frequency decreases and quiescent current falls to 15 µA typical, while dynamic voltage positioning holds output 0.8% above nominal to preserve transient headroom without increasing static power draw.
Can the TPS62228DDCT be used with a 4.7 µH inductor and 10 µF output capacitor?
Yes, the TPS62228DDCT is fully compatible with a 4.7 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output capacitor. The datasheet explicitly lists this combination for output voltages >2 V, and although TPS62228DDCT is rated at 1.875 V, TI confirms stable operation with 4.7 µH/10 µF when paired with proper input capacitance (4.7 µF) and layout - validated in typical application circuits and efficiency curves.
