Product details
Overview
TPS62260DDCT from Texas Instruments is an adjustable-output, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for Li-ion battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 600 mA output current across a 2 V–6 V input range, operates at 2.25 MHz fixed switching frequency, supports power save mode with dynamic voltage positioning, and achieves ±1.5% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode - enabling compact, high-efficiency point-of-load regulation in mobile phones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62260DDCT datasheet, TPS62260DDCT pinout, TPS62260DDCT application, or TPS62260DDCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-5 package footprint, MODE-pin-controllable PFM/PWM transition, 15-μA quiescent current in light-load PFM mode, 100% duty cycle low-dropout capability, and compatibility with standard 2.2-μH inductors and 10-μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS62260DDCT implements voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward for fast line/load transient response and stable operation with small ceramic capacitors. Its integrated high-side (480 mΩ max) and low-side (380 mΩ max) MOSFETs enable synchronous rectification without external diodes.
It features automatic PFM-to-PWM mode transition based on load current, dynamic voltage positioning (+1% nominal output in PFM), undervoltage lockout (1.85 V falling threshold), and thermal shutdown at 140°C with 20°C hysteresis - all managed within a single monolithic IC with no external compensation required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), two/three-cell alkaline, and 3.3 V/5 V rails without external regulators. |
| Output Current | Up to 600 mA at VIN ≥ 2.5 V - sufficient for low-power DSP cores, RF transceivers, and application processors in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz (±12.5%) - enables use of sub-3 mm × 3 mm inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 μA typical in PFM mode - extends battery runtime during standby/sleep states in always-on subsystems. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% in PWM mode - ensures stable core voltage for sensitive digital loads without post-regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1–1 μA - minimizes battery drain when system is fully powered down. |
| Reference Voltage | 600 mV - sets adjustable output range from 0.6 V to VIN via external resistor divider (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V). |
Pinout & Package
SOT-5 (DDC) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height, thermally enhanced pad-less construction. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = FB, Pin 5 = SW.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input supply | Accepts 2–6 V; must be decoupled with ≥4.7 μF ceramic capacitor close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise and support peak current demands. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and feedback circuits; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling into FB node. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; pulling low disables converter and reduces IQ to <1 μA; supports power sequencing with other rails via external controller. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; internal 600-mV reference sets output voltage; routing must avoid SW and inductor to prevent instability. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt square wave; requires short, wide trace and ground plane clearance to reduce EMI and parasitic ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power Save Mode with Dynamic Voltage Positioning | Automatically enters PFM at light loads; regulates output 1% above nominal to minimize undershoot during sudden load steps - critical for burst-mode processors. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Low-Dropout Operation | Extends usable battery life by maintaining regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT×(RDS(on)_HS + DCR_L); enables full discharge of Li-ion cells to ~2.7 V. |
| 2.25-MHz Fixed-Frequency PWM | Ensures predictable EMI spectrum; MODE pin forces PWM even at light loads - simplifies filtering for noise-sensitive analog/RF sections. |
| Integrated Synchronous MOSFETs | Eliminates external Schottky diode; high-side RDS(on) ≤ 480 mΩ and low-side ≤ 380 mΩ at 3.6 V - improves efficiency by 8–12% vs asynchronous designs. |
| Soft-Start Ramp Time | 250 μs (5% to 95% VOUT) - limits inrush current during power-up, preventing brownout on weak sources like coin-cell batteries or USB ports. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62261DDCT | Fixed 1.8 V output; no MODE pin; auto PFM/PWM transition only | Eliminates FB resistor network but lacks output adjustability - suitable only where 1.8 V is mandatory | Select when board space is constrained and output voltage is fixed; not interchangeable with TPS62260DDCT due to missing MODE and FB pins. |
| TPS62067QDSGRQ1 | AEC-Q100 qualified; 3-MHz switching; 1.2-V fixed output; higher IQ (25 μA) | Designed for automotive infotainment displays; wider temp range (–40°C to 125°C) and enhanced ESD robustness | Choose for automotive-grade reliability; incompatible pinout and higher cost - not drop-in for consumer portable designs. |
Compared with TPS62261DDCT and TPS62067QDSGRQ1, the TPS62260DDCT uniquely balances adjustability, ultra-low quiescent current, and SOT-5 footprint - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-constrained portable electronics where output voltage may vary across product SKUs.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the TPS62260DDCT support?
The TPS62260DDCT supports an adjustable output voltage range from 0.6 V to VIN using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. Its internal 600-mV reference enables precise setting of common rails such as 1.2 V, 1.8 V, or 2.5 V. The device maintains ±1.5% accuracy in PWM mode across temperature and load, and includes dynamic voltage positioning (+1%) in PFM mode to improve transient response.
How does the MODE pin affect TPS62260DDCT operation?
The MODE pin on the TPS62260DDCT selects between automatic PFM/PWM transition (MODE = GND) and forced fixed-frequency PWM (MODE = VIN). In PFM mode, the TPS62260DDCT achieves 15-μA quiescent current and dynamic voltage positioning; in forced PWM, it sustains 2.25-MHz operation regardless of load - reducing output ripple at the cost of lower light-load efficiency.
Can the TPS62260DDCT operate with a 2.2-μH inductor and 10-μF output capacitor?
Yes - the TPS62260DDCT is explicitly optimized for use with a 2.2-μH inductor and 10-μF ceramic output capacitor, as validated in TI's SLVS763E datasheet. This combination delivers stable regulation, <250 μs soft-start ramp time, and minimal output voltage ripple in both PWM and PFM modes while meeting EMI and size targets for portable designs.
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS62260DDCT to maintain regulation at 600 mA?
The minimum input voltage for the TPS62260DDCT to sustain 600 mA depends on output voltage and component losses. For example, at VOUT = 1.2 V, the calculated VIN(min) ≈ 1.2 V + 0.6 A × (480 mΩ + 110 mΩ) = 1.554 V - but the absolute minimum specified operating VIN is 2 V. Below 2 V, undervoltage lockout activates at ~1.85 V (falling), disabling the device to protect the battery.
Does the TPS62260DDCT include thermal protection?
Yes - the TPS62260DDCT incorporates thermal shutdown that disables both high-side and low-side MOSFETs when junction temperature exceeds 140°C (typical), with 20°C hysteresis. Once temperature falls below 120°C, normal operation resumes. This protection is fully integrated and requires no external components, ensuring safe operation under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design.
