Product details
Overview
TPS62260DDCTG4 from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for battery-powered portable electronics. It delivers up to 600 mA output current from 2 V–6 V input, operates at 2.25 MHz fixed switching frequency, supports power save mode with 15-μA quiescent current, and features adjustable output voltage (0.6 V to VIN) via external feedback divider - used in mobile phone core logic rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62260DDCTG4 datasheet, TPS62260DDCTG4 pinout, TPS62260DDCTG4 application, or TPS62260DDCTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility with single-cell Li-ion (2.0–6.0 V), light-load efficiency in PFM mode, MODE-pin controllable PWM/PSM transition, thermal shutdown behavior (140°C), and SOT-23-5 package constraints for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS62260DDCTG4 employs voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward for fast line/load regulation and stable operation with small ceramic capacitors. Its integrated high-side (480 mΩ max) and low-side (380 mΩ max) MOSFETs enable synchronous rectification, while the internal 0.6-V reference and FB pin support precise output adjustment.
It implements dynamic voltage positioning (+1% in PFM mode) to suppress load-step undershoot/overshoot, undervoltage lockout (1.85 V falling threshold), and 100% duty-cycle dropout operation to extend battery runtime. The absence of a MODE pin in the DDC package means automatic PFM/PWM transition - unlike DRV variants with forced-PWM capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports single Li-ion, two/three alkaline cells, and 3.3/5-V rails without external regulators. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA at VIN ≥ 2.5 V - sufficient for DSP cores, microcontroller I/O banks, and RF front-end biasing. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz (±12.5%) - enables use of sub-3-mm inductors (e.g., 2.2 μH) and compact 0603/0805 capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 μA in PFM mode (MODE = GND) - extends battery life in standby/sleep states of portable devices. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to VIN - programmable via external resistor divider; internal 0.6-V reference ensures ±1.5% accuracy in PWM mode. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 μA typical (EN = GND) - minimizes battery drain during full system power-off. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - protects IC and PCB under sustained overload or poor airflow. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DDC) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm footprint, 1.1-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; requires local 4.7-μF ceramic decoupling; connects directly to battery or intermediate rail. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and feedback circuits; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: >1 V enables regulator; <0.4 V forces shutdown (<1-μA IQ); supports power sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; sets VOUT = 0.6 V × (1 + R1/R2); sensitive to noise - route away from SW node. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt pulses; requires short, wide trace and ground stitching to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power Save Mode (PFM) | Automatic entry below ~10–20 mA load; reduces IQ to 15 μA while maintaining ±1% output regulation via +1% voltage positioning. |
| Fast Transient Response | Voltage-mode control with feed-forward enables <250 μs output ramp-up and minimal overshoot during 10–90% load steps. |
| Low-Dropout Operation | 100% duty cycle mode engages as VIN approaches VOUT, sustaining regulation down to VIN = VOUT + IOUT×(RDS(on)_HS + DCR_L). |
| Integrated Protection | Current-limit protection (0.8–1.2 A), thermal shutdown (140°C), and undervoltage lockout (1.85 V falling) prevent fault propagation. |
| Small Solution Size | Supports 2.2-μH inductor and 10-μF output capacitor - total BOM area < 12 mm² with 0603/0805 passives and SOT-23-5 IC. |
Applications
| Mobile Phone Baseband Core Supply | Portable Media Player Audio Codec Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRV | 6-pin WSON (2×2 mm) with MODE pin; supports forced-PWM operation; higher thermal performance (RθJA = 67.8°C/W vs 226.9°C/W). | Preferred where EMI filtering is critical (fixed-frequency PWM required) or PCB layout allows larger thermal pad. | Select TPS62260DRV if MODE pin control or improved thermal dissipation is needed; not pin-compatible with DDC package. |
| TPS62740DSSR | Lower IQ (360 nA shutdown, 250 nA operational), 200-mA output, 2–5.5 V input; designed for energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications. | Better suited for ultra-low-power IoT nodes with intermittent wake cycles; insufficient for 600-mA loads. | Choose TPS62740DSSR only for sub-200-mA, nanowatt-class systems - not a functional replacement for TPS62260DDCTG4's 600-mA capability. |
Compared with TPS62260DRV, the TPS62260DDCTG4 trades MODE-pin flexibility and thermal margin for smaller footprint and lower assembly cost; compared with TPS62740DSSR, it delivers 3× higher output current but lacks nanoamp-level quiescent operation - making it optimal for mid-power portable applications where size and cost dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS62260DDCTG4?
The TPS62260DDCTG4 delivers up to 600 mA when input voltage is ≥2.5 V, 300 mA at 2.3–2.5 V, and 150 mA at 2.0–2.3 V. This stepped current limit ensures safe operation across the full 2–6 V input range while protecting internal MOSFETs and maintaining thermal stability in the SOT-23-5 package.
Does the TPS62260DDCTG4 support fixed output voltages?
No - the TPS62260DDCTG4 is the adjustable version of the TPS6226x family. Fixed-output variants (e.g., TPS62261DDCTG4 = 1.8 V, TPS62262DDCTG4 = 1.2 V) exist, but the TPS62260DDCTG4 requires an external resistor divider on the FB pin to set VOUT between 0.6 V and VIN, using the internal 0.6-V reference.
How does the TPS62260DDCTG4 manage efficiency at light loads?
The TPS62260DDCTG4 automatically enters power save mode (PFM) at light loads, reducing quiescent current to 15 μA and skipping switching cycles to maintain >80% efficiency down to ~1 mA. Unlike MODE-pin-equipped variants, the DDC package uses internal logic for seamless PFM/PWM transition without external control.
What thermal considerations apply to the TPS62260DDCTG4 in SOT-23-5 package?
The TPS62260DDCTG4 in DDC package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 226.9°C/W. To avoid thermal shutdown at 600 mA, keep ambient temperature ≤60°C or add copper pour and thermal vias. Derate output current above 60°C ambient per the thermal characteristics table in the datasheet.
Can the TPS62260DDCTG4 operate with a 2.0-V input supply?
Yes - the TPS62260DDCTG4 supports 2.0-V minimum input, enabling use with deeply discharged Li-ion cells or two alkaline cells. At 2.0 V, it delivers up to 150 mA and enters 100% duty cycle mode to sustain regulation, though output voltage accuracy degrades slightly near dropout due to RDS(on) and inductor DCR effects.
