Product details
Overview
TPS62236DRYR from Texas Instruments is a 2-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 1.85 V output voltage, 2.05–6 V input range, and 22 μA quiescent current in power-save mode. It replaces LDOs in portable audio and low-power DSP core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62236DRYR datasheet, TPS62236DRYR pinout, TPS62236DRYR application, or TPS62236DRYR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small 12 mm² solution size, forced-PWM capability via MODE pin, high PSRR (up to 90 dB), and operation down to –40°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS62236DRYR implements a hysteretic PWM controller topology enabling 2 MHz fixed-frequency operation or automatic PFM/PWM transition based on load. Its internal 0.7 V reference feeds a precision feedback loop tied to the FB pin, supporting ±2.5% output voltage accuracy across –40°C to 125°C.
It integrates high-side (600–850 mΩ) and low-side (350–480 mΩ) MOSFETs with 850 mA typical current limit, minimum ON/OFF times of 135 ns/40 ns, and undervoltage lockout with 1.9 V rising threshold. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.85 V - eliminates external resistor divider, simplifies layout and improves stability |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.05 V to 6 V - supports single Li-ion, Li-primary, or two alkaline cells without dropout issues |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz - enables use of 2.2 μH inductor and 4.7 μF output capacitor for compact 12 mm² design |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA - sufficient for low-power DSP cores and portable media ICs with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 22 μA in PFM mode - extends battery life in standby or light-load states |
| PSRR | Up to 90 dB - suppresses input ripple critical for noise-sensitive analog/RF circuitry |

Pinout & Package
TPS62236DRYR uses a 6-pin USON (DRY) package measuring 1.45 mm × 1.00 mm × 0.6 mm, optimized for ultra-dense PCB layouts with ≤0.6 mm profile height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE | Mode control input | Pull low for auto PFM/PWM; pull high for forced PWM - enables deterministic noise filtering in RF/audio systems |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to external 2.2 μH inductor - carries high-frequency switching current; requires tight thermal/via design |
| VIN | Input power supply | Accepts 2.05–6 V; must be decoupled with 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor close to pin |
| FB | Feedback input | Direct connection to output capacitor - sets regulation point using internal 0.7 V reference |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic; must be terminated - controls startup sequencing and system-level power management |
| GND | Power ground | Low-impedance return path for VIN, SW, and internal circuits - requires solid thermal pad connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small solution size | 12 mm² total area - achieved with 1×1.5 mm USON-6 package and minimal external components |
| High PSRR | Up to 90 dB at 100 kHz - maintains clean output under noisy battery or shared-rail conditions |
| Forced PWM mode | Enabled by MODE = high - eliminates variable-frequency PFM noise for EMI-sensitive designs |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Supports lowest dropout - sustains regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT + 0.1 V |
| Thermal shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |

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 package, pinout, and electrical specs except VOUT | Suitable where 1.8 V rail is required instead of 1.85 V - no layout change needed | Select when system voltage tolerance allows 50 mV lower output; verify load regulation impact on downstream logic |
| TPS62237DRYR | Fixed 3.3 V output; same 2 MHz frequency, USON-6 package, and feature set | Used for higher-voltage I/O or interface rails - requires re-evaluation of inductor saturation and output capacitance | Choose for 3.3 V applications; confirm thermal performance at higher VIN–VOUT differential |
Compared with TPS62236DRYR, TPS62231DRYR offers identical efficiency and footprint at 1.8 V, while TPS62237DRYR provides higher output but demands revised output filter sizing and thermal validation for 3.3 V operation.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS62236DRYR?
The TPS62236DRYR has a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 1.85 V. This value is set internally and does not require external resistors. Output voltage accuracy is ±2.5% over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, referenced to the internal 0.7 V bandgap. The TPS62236DRYR achieves this regulation via direct FB-to-output connection using its integrated feedback network.
Does the TPS62236DRYR support forced PWM mode?
Yes, the TPS62236DRYR supports forced PWM mode via the MODE pin. When MODE is pulled high (≥2.05 V), the device operates continuously in quasi-fixed-frequency PWM mode across all load conditions, eliminating pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) and associated variable-frequency noise. This is essential for EMI-sensitive applications like RF transceivers or high-fidelity audio circuits where deterministic switching behavior is required.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPS62236DRYR to operate?
The TPS62236DRYR requires a minimum input voltage of 2.05 V to start and sustain operation. Below this threshold, the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables switching. The rising UVLO threshold is typically 1.9 V, and the falling threshold is 1.8 V. This allows reliable operation from partially discharged Li-primary or two alkaline cells, extending usable battery capacity beyond what standard 2.5 V–3.0 V regulators permit.
Can the TPS62236DRYR be used in thermally constrained environments?
Yes, the TPS62236DRYR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and includes thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis. Its USON-6 package has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 166.1°C/W. To maintain reliability in thermally constrained PCBs, ensure the exposed thermal pad is soldered to ≥2 cm² of inner-layer copper with ≥4 thermal vias - validated in TI's SLVS941G datasheet layout examples.
How does the TPS62236DRYR handle startup into a prebiased output?
The TPS62236DRYR supports startup into a prebiased output capacitor - meaning it can safely begin regulation when the output already holds a voltage (e.g., from another rail or residual charge). During such startup, the device ramps the output from the existing bias level to its nominal 1.85 V without reverse current flow or output overshoot. This behavior is enabled by its internal soft-start circuit and controlled high-side switch turn-on sequence, as confirmed in the SLVS941G datasheet Section 8.4.1.
