Product details
Overview
TPS62244QDDCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 300 mA output current with fixed 1.25 V output voltage, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V input, and featuring 2.25 MHz fixed-frequency PWM mode with automatic PFM transition at light loads. It targets battery-powered automotive modules such as RKE fobs and PEPS base stations.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 datasheet, TPS62244QDDCRQ1 pinout, TPS62244QDDCRQ1 application, or TPS62244QDDCRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15 µA quiescent current in PFM mode, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode, 100% duty-cycle low-dropout capability, TSOT-23-5 package footprint, and thermal shutdown at 140°C.
Technical Context
The TPS62244QDDCRQ1 implements a voltage-mode control architecture with input voltage feed-forward for fast line/load regulation and stable operation with small ceramic capacitors. Its dual-mode operation-PWM at moderate-to-heavy loads and automatic transition to PFM at light loads-maintains high efficiency across 0.01 mA to 300 mA output range.
Internally, it integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs with typical RDS(on) of 240 mΩ (high-side) and 180 mΩ (low-side), current-limit protection (0.54–0.95 A), undervoltage lockout (1.85 V falling threshold), and soft-start (250 µs VOUT ramp time). The FB pin is internally connected to the output in fixed-voltage variants, eliminating external resistor dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.25 V ±1.5% in PWM mode - ensures stable core logic supply for automotive microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA at VIN ≥ 2.3 V - supports power rails for RF transceivers and low-power MCUs in compact RKE/PEPS modules. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - compatible with Li-MnO₂ coin cells (2.0–3.6 V), 2S/3S alkaline, and 3.3 V/5 V system rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz fixed in PWM mode - enables use of tiny 2.2 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors for minimal PCB area. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical in PFM mode - extends battery life in always-on automotive key fobs and sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - reduces standby drain during vehicle sleep mode; EN pin controls full system power sequencing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62244QDDCRQ1 is housed in a TSOT-23-5 (DDC) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for space-constrained automotive modules. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 193.7°C/W, requiring minimal copper pour for Grade 1 (–40°C to 125°C) operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 2.0–6.0 V supply; must be decoupled with ≥4.7 µF X5R ceramic capacitor near the pin. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Primary return path for high-frequency switching current; requires low-inductance connection to power plane. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulling low disables regulator and reduces current draw to <1 µA; supports power sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback reference | Internally tied to output in fixed-1.25 V version; no external divider required - simplifies layout and improves accuracy. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace and tight loop with GND and CIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C junction operation - suitable for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive electronics. |
| 100% duty-cycle low-dropout mode | Enables regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT×(RDS(on)+RL) - maximizes usable battery voltage in coin-cell applications. |
| PFM/PWM automatic transition | Maintains ≥75% efficiency from 0.01 mA to 300 mA - eliminates manual mode selection and ensures optimal light-load performance. |
| Integrated MOSFETs with current limit | High-side RDS(on) = 240 mΩ (typ), low-side = 180 mΩ (typ); ILIMF = 0.54–0.95 A - provides robust short-circuit protection without external sensing. |
| Fast soft-start | 250 µs VOUT ramp time (5% to 95%) - limits inrush current and prevents input rail collapse during cold start in battery systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62243QDDCRQ1 | Fixed 1.80 V output; identical pinout, specs, and package - differs only in output voltage setting. | Used where 1.8 V I/O or core voltage is required (e.g., certain MCUs or sensors), not 1.25 V logic rails. | Select when system requires 1.8 V instead of 1.25 V; no layout change needed - direct voltage variant swap. |
| TPS62840DLCR | Lower IQ (300 nA vs 15 µA), 1.8 V to 6.0 V input, 1.2 V to 5.0 V adjustable output; WSON-12 package (2.0 × 2.0 mm). | Targets ultra-long-life applications (e.g., tire pressure monitors); requires external feedback resistors and larger board area. | Choose for multi-year battery life in infrequent-wake applications; not drop-in due to different package, pin count, and adjustability. |
Compared with TPS62244QDDCRQ1, TPS62243QDDCRQ1 offers identical functionality at 1.8 V output - ideal for voltage variant substitution - while TPS62840DLCR delivers nanoscale quiescent current at the cost of larger footprint and design complexity, making it suitable only for extreme low-power niches.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 in PWM mode?
The TPS62244QDDCRQ1 guarantees ±1.5% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode across temperature and line conditions. This specification applies at TJ = –40°C to 125°C, VIN = 3.6 V, and is confirmed in Section 7.5 of the SLVSEK3 datasheet. The fixed 1.25 V output is trimmed at wafer test, and the internal feedback network eliminates external resistor errors that could degrade accuracy in adjustable regulators.
Does the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output-voltage device (1.25 V), its internal resistor divider is permanently connected to the FB pin, which is internally routed to the output node. Per Pin Functions table (Section 6), FB must be connected directly to the output capacitor - no external components are needed, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
What is the minimum input voltage at which the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 maintains regulation under 300 mA load?
Under 300 mA load, the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 maintains regulation down to approximately VIN ≈ 1.25 V + 0.3 A × (0.48 Ω + 0.11 Ω) = ~1.42 V, based on max RDS(on) (480 mΩ high-side) and typical LPS3015 inductor DCR (110 mΩ). However, per Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 7.3), minimum functional VIN is specified as 2.0 V - below this, UVLO disables operation. The 100% duty-cycle mode extends usable battery range but does not override UVLO.
Can the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 be used with a 1.0 µH inductor?
No, the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 is not characterized or recommended for use with a 1.0 µH inductor. Section 9.2.2.1 specifies a validated inductor range of 1.5 µH to 4.7 µH, with 2.2 µH as the optimized value. Using 1.0 µH falls below the 1.0 µH effective inductance lower limit stated for stable operation and risks increased ripple, reduced efficiency, potential instability, and failure to meet EMI or transient response specifications.
How does the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 handle thermal overload?
The TPS62244QDDCRQ1 activates thermal shutdown when junction temperature exceeds 140°C (typical), turning off both high-side and low-side MOSFETs. Operation resumes only after temperature falls below 120°C (140°C – 20°C hysteresis), as defined in Section 7.5. This protection is independent of load current or input voltage and is implemented in silicon - no external circuitry is required to safeguard the TPS62244QDDCRQ1 or downstream circuitry during sustained overload or poor thermal design.
