Product details
Overview
TPS62261DRVR 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, features fixed 1.8 V output, operates at 2.25 MHz switching frequency, and supports power save mode with dynamic voltage positioning for load transients. It targets low-noise, space-constrained applications such as smartphone baseband processors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62261DRVR datasheet, TPS62261DRVR pinout, TPS62261DRVR application, or TPS62261DRVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8 V fixed output, WSON-6 package footprint, 15 μA quiescent current in PFM mode, 100% duty cycle capability for extended battery runtime, and MODE pin controllability between PWM and power save operation.
Technical Context
The TPS62261DRVR implements voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward for fast line/load regulation. Its integrated high-side (240–480 mΩ) and low-side (185–380 mΩ) MOSFETs enable synchronous rectification, while the 2.25-MHz oscillator ensures compact external component sizing.
Dynamic voltage positioning raises the regulated output by +1% in power save mode to suppress undershoot during light-to-heavy load steps. The MODE pin directly selects between automatic PFM/PWM transition (MODE = GND) and forced fixed-frequency PWM (MODE = VIN), enabling noise-sensitive system integration without layout changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% in PWM mode - eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA at VIN ≥ 2.5 V - supports core logic rails in mobile SoCs and DSPs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), two/three-cell alkaline, and 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz (±12.5%) - enables use of 2.2 μH inductors and 10 μF ceramic capacitors for <1 mm solution height. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 μA (PFM mode, no load) - extends battery life in standby and low-power listening states. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 μA - meets ultra-low leakage requirements for always-on subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62261DRVR is housed in a thermally enhanced 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.8 mm WSON-6 package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 6). This package supports high power density and efficient heat dissipation in portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input | Accepts 2–6 V supply; requires local 4.7 μF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Ground reference | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Active-high logic; drives device into shutdown (<1 μA) when pulled low. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires tight loop routing with ground plane. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.8 V divider - left unconnected for fixed-output operation. |
| MODE (Pin 2) | Operating mode select | Pull to GND for auto PFM/PWM; pull to VIN for forced PWM - enables noise filtering without firmware change. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic voltage positioning | +1% output offset in PFM mode - reduces transient undershoot by ~30 mV during 10–100 mA load steps. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Supports VIN down to VOUT + IOUT×(RDS(on)_HS + DCR_L) - extends usable battery range to ~2.2 V for 1.8 V rail. |
| Integrated MOSFETs | High-side RDS(on) ≤ 480 mΩ, low-side ≤ 380 mΩ at 3.6 V - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers. |
| Soft-start ramp | 250 μs (5% → 95% VOUT) - limits inrush current to prevent input rail collapse on weak sources like coin cells. |
| Undervoltage lockout | 1.85 V falling threshold - prevents brownout operation and deep battery discharge below safe cutoff. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62260DRVR | Adjustable output (0.6–VIN); requires external R1/R2 feedback network; same package and pinout. | Suitable when multiple output voltages are needed across product variants or when 1.8 V is not required. | Select TPS62260DRVR only if adjustable output is mandatory; adds two resistors and layout complexity. |
| TPS62262DRVR | Fixed 1.2 V output; identical specs otherwise - same efficiency, quiescent current, and thermal performance. | Used for lower-voltage I/O rails, memory interfaces, or sub-1.8 V logic domains in multi-rail systems. | Choose TPS62262DRVR when 1.2 V is the target rail; no circuit or layout change needed beyond output capacitor re-rating. |
Compared with TPS62261DRVR, TPS62260DRVR offers flexibility at the cost of BOM and layout overhead, while TPS62262DRVR provides identical performance at a different fixed voltage - both share pin compatibility, thermal behavior, and functional modes, making them drop-in replacements for voltage-specific redesigns.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62261DRVR in PWM mode?
The TPS62261DRVR has a feedback voltage accuracy of ±1.5% in PWM mode over temperature and line conditions. This corresponds to a 1.8 V output tolerance of ±27 mV (1.773 V to 1.827 V), verified per TI's SLVS763E datasheet Section 7.5. The TPS62261DRVR achieves this using an internal 0.6 V reference and precision trimming, ensuring reliable operation for 1.8 V logic rails.
Can the TPS62261DRVR operate with a 2.2 V input voltage?
Yes, the TPS62261DRVR supports input voltages as low as 2 V per its recommended operating conditions. At VIN = 2.2 V, it delivers up to 150 mA output current while maintaining regulation, entering 100% duty cycle mode to sustain 1.8 V output. This capability is critical for maximizing battery utilization in single-cell Li-ion systems where voltage drops below 2.5 V during discharge.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency in light-load conditions for the TPS62261DRVR?
When the MODE pin is grounded, the TPS62261DRVR enters power save mode and switches to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), reducing quiescent current to 15 μA and maintaining >80% efficiency at 1 mA load. With MODE tied to VIN, it remains in fixed-frequency PWM mode, increasing quiescent current to 3.8 mA and dropping efficiency to ~55% at 1 mA - a trade-off for deterministic EMI profile.
What thermal resistance values apply to the TPS62261DRVR in its WSON-6 package?
The TPS62261DRVR in DRV (WSON-6) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 67.8°C/W and junction-to-board (RθJB) of 37.2°C/W, per Section 7.4 of the datasheet. These values assume standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout with 1-in² copper pour under the thermal pad. Actual thermal performance improves with additional PCB copper and vias to internal ground planes.
Is external compensation required for stability with the TPS62261DRVR?
No, the TPS62261DRVR uses an internally compensated voltage-mode control architecture optimized for 2.2 μH inductors and 10 μF ceramic output capacitors. External compensation components are unnecessary. However, a 22 pF feed-forward capacitor (C1) between FB and SW is required for optimal load transient response, as specified in Section 9.2.2.1 of the datasheet.
