Product details
Overview
TPS62229DDCR from Texas Instruments is a 400-mA, 1.25-MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in TSOT23-5 package, delivering fixed 1.8 V output from 2.5–6 V input. It features 15 µA quiescent current in power-save mode, 95% peak efficiency, and dynamic output-voltage positioning for transient response optimization-used to power OMAP™ processors and low-voltage DSPs in smart phones.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62229DDCR datasheet, TPS62229DDCR pinout, TPS62229DDCR application, or TPS62229DDCR equivalent, key selection factors include its fixed 1.8 V output, 1.25-MHz PWM operation with PFM light-load mode, 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, soft-start function, and TSOT23-5 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The TPS62229DDCR employs voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward for fast line/load regulation and stable operation with small ceramic capacitors. Its internal digital self-calibration adjusts duty cycle in ~1% VOUT steps to maintain ±3% output accuracy across load and line variations.
Under light load, it enters pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) power-save mode-reducing switching frequency and quiescent current to 15 µA typical-while maintaining dynamic voltage positioning via comparator thresholds set at +0.8% and +1.6% of nominal VOUT to minimize transient droop/overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±3% over full load (0–400 mA) and input range (2.5–6 V) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) and 3.3/5 V rails |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA continuous - sufficient for core supply of OMAP-L137, TMS320C55x DSPs |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25 MHz nominal (0.8–1.85 MHz range) - enables compact 4.7 µH inductor & 10 µF ceramic output cap |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in power-save mode - extends battery life in standby/sleep states |
| Efficiency Peak | 95% at 200 mA, VIN = 3.7 V, VOUT = 1.8 V - minimizes thermal rise in thin-SOT23 package |
| Duty Cycle Range | 100% dropout operation - maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT × rDS(on) |
Pinout & Package
TPS62229DDCR 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 | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.5–6 V; connects to input capacitor (min 4.7 µF ceramic); must be decoupled near pin |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for switch node and feedback; requires solid PCB ground plane |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.3 V enables, ≤0.4 V disables; draws ≤0.1 µA in shutdown |
| 4 - FB | Feedback sense node | Internally connected to 1.8 V reference; no external divider required for fixed-output version |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drives external 4.7 µH inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and Kelvin connection to inductor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Output-Voltage Positioning | Maintains VOUT at +0.8% during light load to provide headroom for 400 mA transients without undershoot |
| Soft Start | Digital current ramp (83 → 167 → 335 → 670 mA) limits inrush into output capacitor, preventing input rail collapse |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables regulation down to VIN = VOUT + IOUT × rDS(on), maximizing usable battery voltage range |
| Internal Digital Self-Calibration | Adjusts duty cycle in ~1% VOUT steps to hold output within ±3% across line/load/temperature |
| Ultra-Low Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical - critical for always-on backup rails and energy-harvesting systems |
Applications

|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Powers ARM9-based application processor core (e.g., OMAP-L137) requiring stable 1.8 V at up to 400 mA during video decode bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary buck regulator providing regulated core voltage; operates in PWM mode under load, switches to PFM during UI idle periods.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary system buck; EN pin controlled by PMIC to sequence power-up with memory and display controllers. Use Value: TSOT23-5 footprint saves >30% board area vs. SOIC-8 alternatives; undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.0 V threshold) prevents brownout resets during battery swap. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62222DDCR | Fixed 1.8 V output, identical specs and pinout - same family, same production lot traceability | No functional difference; TPS62222DDCR and TPS62229DDCR both specify 1.8 V nominal with ±3% tolerance | Select TPS62222DDCR if dual-sourcing or second-source qualification is required; identical performance and layout |
| TPS622314DSCR | 1.8 V fixed, 600 mA output, 2.05 V min input, 1.8 MHz switching - higher current, tighter input range, smaller 2.0 × 2.0 mm WSON | Supports higher peak loads (e.g., LTE modem bursts) but requires redesign for lower VIN capability and new layout | Choose TPS622314DSCR only when >400 mA sustained current or <2.5 V input operation is needed; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with TPS62229DDCR, TPS62222DDCR offers identical electrical behavior and mechanical fit, while TPS622314DSCR delivers higher current and frequency at the cost of reduced input voltage range and non-interchangeable packaging - making the former a true alternative and the latter a functional upgrade requiring design revision.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62229DDCR over temperature and load?
The TPS62229DDCR maintains a fixed 1.8 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 V to 6 V conditions per the SLVS491E datasheet. This specification includes contributions from line regulation (0.26%/V), load regulation (0.0014%/mA), and internal reference drift.
Does the TPS62229DDCR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62229DDCR does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its FB pin is internally connected to the 0.5 V reference and the output divider - unlike the adjustable TPS62220, which requires R1/R2. External components on FB would disrupt regulation and are not supported.
What is the minimum input voltage required for regulation at 400 mA output?
At 400 mA output, the TPS62229DDCR maintains regulation down to approximately VIN = VOUT + IOUT × rDS(on)(P-ch) + IOUT × RL. Using max rDS(on) = 850 mΩ (at VIN = 2.5 V) and a typical 20 mΩ inductor DCR, minimum VIN ≈ 1.8 V + 0.4 A × 0.87 Ω ≈ 2.15 V - well within its 2.5 V min rating, enabling robust dropout operation.
Can the TPS62229DDCR be used with a 2.2 µF output capacitor?
No - the TPS62229DDCR requires a minimum 10 µF ceramic output capacitor for stable operation with its internal compensation. For 1.8 V output (≤2 V), TI specifies ≥22 µF when using 4.7 µH inductors. Using 2.2 µF risks instability, excessive output ripple (>50 mV), and failure to meet ±3% accuracy due to shifted loop bandwidth and phase margin erosion.
How does the enable pin (EN) behave during power sequencing?
The EN pin of the TPS62229DDCR is active-high with VIH = 1.3 V min and VIL = 0.4 V max. When pulled below 0.4 V, the device enters shutdown with 0.1 µA typical current and both MOSFETs disabled. It must never be left floating; TI recommends tying to VI through a 100 kΩ resistor if unused. Soft-start initiates only upon EN rising above VIH.
