Product details
Overview
TPS62232DRYT 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, 2.05–6 V input range, and 22 μA quiescent current in power-save mode. It serves as an ultra-compact, high-efficiency replacement for LDOs in space-constrained portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62232DRYT datasheet, TPS62232DRYT pinout, TPS62232DRYT application, or TPS62232DRYT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2 V fixed output, 3 MHz switching frequency, 6-pin USON thermal performance (RθJA = 294.5°C/W), forced-PWM capability via MODE pin, and compatibility with 2.2 μH inductors and 4.7 μF output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS62232DRYT implements a hysteretic PWM controller architecture enabling 3 MHz operation, excellent AC load regulation, and low-output ripple across 0–500 mA loads. Its internal 0.7 V reference feeds a precision feedback loop tied to the FB pin, supporting fixed 1.2 V output via internal resistor divider.
It operates in automatic power-save mode (PFM/PWM transition) when MODE = GND, reducing IQ to 22 μA at light loads, or forced PWM mode (MODE = VIN) for noise-sensitive applications requiring consistent switching frequency and minimized spectral content.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V - eliminates external feedback resistors; supports low-voltage DSP/core supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz - enables use of tiny 2.2 μH inductors and compact 4.7 μF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, audio codecs, and RF front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.05 V to 6 V - compatible with single Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), Li-primary, or two alkaline cells. |
| Quiescent Current | 22 μA (PFM mode) - extends battery life in always-on sensor or standby circuits. |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% - reduces thermal load in sealed or thermally constrained enclosures. |
| PSRR | Up to 90 dB - suppresses input supply noise critical for analog/RF signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62232DRYT is housed in a 1 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.6 mm, 6-pin USON (DRY) package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and thermal dissipation via bottom-side thermal pad connection to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE (Pin 1) | Mode control input | Pull low for auto PFM/PWM transition; pull high for forced PWM-enables deterministic EMI filtering. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current-requires tight layout and short trace routing. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.05–6 V; requires local 2.2 μF ceramic decoupling placed near pin. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Common return for VIN, SW, FB, EN, MODE; must be solidly connected to thermal pad and system ground. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable input | Active-high logic; floating not allowed-tie to VIN or controller GPIO for sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.2 V divider; no external resistors needed-simplifies layout and improves accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small solution size | ≤12 mm² PCB area with 1 μH inductor and 4.7 μF capacitor-fits beneath 1.0 mm height constraints. |
| High PSRR (90 dB) | Maintains clean 1.2 V rail despite noisy battery or shared input supply-critical for ADCs and RF ICs. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables lowest dropout-supports 1.2 V output even with VIN as low as 1.25 V during brownout. |
| Thermal shutdown (150°C) | Protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking-auto-recovery after junction cools by 20°C hysteresis. |
| Soft-start (100 μs) | Controls inrush current into output cap-prevents input voltage sag on weak sources like coin cells. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYT | Fixed 1.8 V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs otherwise. | Used where higher core voltage required (e.g., legacy 1.8 V I/O domains); not drop-in for 1.2 V systems. | Select only if target rail voltage matches 1.8 V; verify downstream logic compatibility. |
| TPS62235DRYT | Fixed 1.2 V output but rated for 2 MHz switching (vs. 3 MHz); same USON-6 package and pinout. | Better EMI predictability at lower frequency; slightly larger inductor (3.3 μH typical) required for equivalent ripple. | Prefer for noise-sensitive RF modules where 2 MHz fundamental falls outside critical bands. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYT (1.8 V) and TPS62235DRYT (2 MHz, 1.2 V), the TPS62232DRYT uniquely delivers 1.2 V at 3 MHz-enabling smallest passive component footprint while maintaining full compatibility with TI's TPS6223x family layout and thermal design rules.

FAQ
What is the fixed output voltage of the TPS62232DRYT?
The TPS62232DRYT provides a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 1.2 V. This value is set internally via a precision resistor divider referenced to a 0.7 V bandgap, eliminating the need for external feedback components and ensuring ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Does the TPS62232DRYT require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62232DRYT does not require external feedback resistors. Its 1.2 V output is achieved using an internal resistor divider network connected to the FB pin, simplifying PCB layout, reducing component count, and improving output voltage accuracy and stability compared to adjustable regulators.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS62232DRYT use?
The TPS62232DRYT uses a 6-pin USON (DRY) package measuring 1.0 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.6 mm with wettable flanks. This ultra-compact, leadless package supports high-density layouts and efficient thermal transfer through its exposed thermal pad, which must be soldered to a PCB ground plane.
How does the MODE pin affect TPS62232DRYT operation?
The MODE pin on the TPS62232DRYT selects between two operating modes: when pulled low (GND), it enables automatic PFM/PWM transition for peak efficiency across load range; when pulled high (VIN), it forces continuous PWM mode-reducing output ripple and enabling predictable EMI filtering for noise-critical applications.
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS62232DRYT startup?
TPS62232DRYT requires a minimum input voltage of 2.05 V to initiate startup. Below this threshold, the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables switching. The rising UVLO threshold is 1.9–2.05 V, ensuring reliable turn-on as battery voltage recovers from transient droop.
