Product details
Overview
TPS62232DRYR from Texas Instruments is a 3-MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 1 mm × 1.5 mm USON-6 package, delivering up to 500 mA output current with fixed 1.2 V output voltage, 2.05 V to 6 V input range, and 22 μA quiescent current in power-save mode - optimized for Li-ion, dual-alkaline, or single-Li-primary powered portable audio and low-power wireless systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62232DRYR datasheet, TPS62232DRYR pinout, TPS62232DRYR application, or TPS62232DRYR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2 V fixed output, 3 MHz switching frequency, ultra-small 12 mm² solution size, forced-PWM capability via MODE pin, and thermal shutdown at 150°C - all critical for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The TPS62232DRYR implements a hysteretic PWM controller topology enabling stable 3 MHz operation with excellent AC load regulation and low output ripple across 0–500 mA loads. It supports automatic transition between pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads and quasi-fixed-frequency PWM at medium/heavy loads.
Its internal 0.7 V reference feeds a precision feedback loop; the device features integrated high-side (600–850 mΩ) and low-side (350–480 mΩ) MOSFETs, 135 ns minimum on-time, and undervoltage lockout with 1.9 V rising threshold - ensuring robust startup and dropout performance down to VIN = VOUT + 1 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2.5% over –40°C to 125°C - enables direct core supply for low-voltage DSPs and microcontrollers without external resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz nominal - allows use of 2.2 μH inductor and 4.7 μF output capacitor, minimizing solution footprint to <12 mm². |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - supported by internal 850 mA typical switch current limit and thermal shutdown at 150°C. |
| Quiescent Current | 22 μA in PFM mode - extends battery life in always-on portable media and sensor nodes. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.05 V to 6 V - supports single Li-primary, two alkaline, or wide-range Li-ion batteries including depleted states. |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(on) MOSFETs, reducing heat generation in sealed enclosures. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 μA - ensures zero-load battery drain during system sleep or storage modes. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62232DRYR is housed in a 1 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.6 mm, 6-pin USON (DRY) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. The package is lead-free, RoHS-compliant, and rated for –40°C to 125°C junction operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE (Pin 1) | Mode control input | Pull low for auto PFM/PWM transition; pull high for forced PWM - eliminates audible noise and enables predictable EMI filtering. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Power switch node | Connects to external 2.2 μH inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance PCB trace. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Accepts 2.05–6 V; must be decoupled with 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and PSRR. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Common return for VIN, SW, FB, EN, and MODE; requires low-impedance thermal pad connection to PCB ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable input | Active-high logic; must be terminated (no internal pull-up); drives shutdown state with <1 μA current when low. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.2 V output divider; not user-accessible - simplifies layout and eliminates external resistor errors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small solution size | 12 mm² total PCB area with only three external components (inductor, input cap, output cap) - ideal for hearing aids and wearables. |
| High PSRR (up to 90 dB) | Rejects input ripple and noise above 10 kHz - enables clean power delivery to RF transceivers and audio codecs without LDO post-regulation. |
| Optimized power-save mode | Maintains <10 mVPP output ripple at 10 mA load using 2.2 μH/4.7 μF - avoids audible coil whine in portable media players. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Supports dropout operation down to VIN = VOUT - extends usable battery life in deep-discharge scenarios (e.g., 1.2 V out from 1.3 V cell). |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and resumes at 130°C - prevents thermal runaway during sustained 500 mA loads in confined spaces. |
Applications
| Portable Audio Playback | Low-Power Wireless Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 1.8 V output; identical 3 MHz frequency, package, and feature set. | Targets higher-voltage DSP cores or I/O rails where 1.8 V is required instead of 1.2 V. | Select when system requires 1.8 V rail with same size, efficiency, and thermal profile. |
| TPS62235DRYR | Fixed 1.2 V output but 2 MHz switching frequency; otherwise identical pinout and specs. | Better EMI filtering margin due to lower fundamental frequency; slightly larger inductor (2.2 μH still valid) may be used. | Choose for noise-sensitive applications where 2 MHz fundamental eases compliance with CISPR-22 Class B limits. |
Compared with TPS62232DRYR, TPS62231DRYR provides higher output voltage for legacy 1.8 V logic, while TPS62235DRYR trades 3 MHz speed for improved EMI headroom at 2 MHz - both share identical USON-6 packaging and thermal behavior but differ in output voltage or frequency tuning.

FAQ
What is the fixed output voltage of the TPS62232DRYR?
The TPS62232DRYR has a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 1.2 V, with accuracy of ±2% at 25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. This eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and ensures consistent regulation across production units without calibration.
Does the TPS62232DRYR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62232DRYR does not require external feedback resistors. Its 1.2 V output is internally set via a precision resistor divider connected to the FB pin, which is not accessible to the user - simplifying design, reducing BOM count, and improving long-term output voltage stability.
Can the TPS62232DRYR operate from a single alkaline cell?
Yes, the TPS62232DRYR supports input voltages as low as 2.05 V, enabling reliable operation from a single fresh alkaline cell (1.5 V nominal) or two partially discharged alkaline cells (down to ~1.025 V per cell). Its 100% duty cycle capability further extends usable runtime near end-of-life.
What is the purpose of the MODE pin on the TPS62232DRYR?
The MODE pin on the TPS62232DRYR selects between automatic PFM/PWM operation (MODE = GND) and forced PWM mode (MODE = VIN). Forced PWM eliminates pulse skipping, enabling predictable EMI filtering and eliminating audible noise - critical for audio and RF-sensitive applications.
How does the TPS62232DRYR handle thermal overload?
The TPS62232DRYR integrates thermal shutdown that disables both MOSFETs when junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typical), then resumes operation once temperature falls below 130°C due to built-in 20°C hysteresis - preventing damage during sustained high-current operation in compact enclosures.
