Product details
Overview
TPS62261TDRVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 600 mA output current with fixed 1.8 V output, 2.25 MHz switching frequency, and 15 μA typical quiescent current in Power Save Mode - optimized for Li-ion-powered portable electronics including infotainment displays and ADAS sensor modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 datasheet, TPS62261TDRVRQ1 pinout, TPS62261TDRVRQ1 application, or TPS62261TDRVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (–40°C to +105°C), voltage positioning at light loads, 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation, and compatibility with 2.2 μH inductors and 0603-size ceramic capacitors in space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS62261TDRVRQ1 employs voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward for fast line/load regulation and uses internal high-side (240–480 mΩ) and low-side (185–380 mΩ) MOSFETs in a synchronous buck topology. Its 2.25 MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation transitions automatically to PFM mode below ~10 mA load when MODE = GND, enabling high efficiency across 0.01–600 mA output range.
Dynamic voltage positioning raises the regulated output by +1% in PFM mode to minimize transient undershoot during load steps; undervoltage lockout activates at 1.85 V (falling) to protect battery cells. The device supports 100% duty cycle operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IO×(RDS(on)HS + RDCR), extending usable battery voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% in PWM mode; ±1% accuracy with voltage positioning active in PFM mode |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA at VIN ≥ 2.5 V; derated to 300 mA at 2.3–2.5 V and 150 mA at 2–2.3 V |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz fixed (±12.5%), enabling compact 2.2 μH inductor and 0603 MLCC solution |
| Quiescent Current | 15 μA typical in PFM mode (MODE = GND, no switching); 3.8 mA in forced PWM mode |
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), extended-range Li-ion (2–4.5 V), and dual/triple alkaline rails |
| Shutdown Current | <1 μA at EN = GND, ensuring minimal battery drain in vehicle sleep modes |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +105°C ambient (AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified), junction max 125°C |
Pinout & Package
TPS62261TDRVRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 2 mm × 2 mm × 0.8 mm SON-6 package (DRV) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 (SW) connects to external inductor; Pin 2 (MODE) selects PFM/PWM operation; Pin 3 (FB) is internally tied to 1.8 V divider and not accessible; Pins 4–6 are EN, VIN, and GND respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt pulsed current; requires tight layout and Kelvin connection to minimize EMI |
| MODE (Pin 2) | Mode control input | GND enables automatic PFM↔PWM transition; VIN forces fixed-frequency PWM for noise-sensitive applications |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Internally connected to fixed 1.8 V resistor divider; must be left unconnected or tied to VOUT per datasheet |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable input | Active-high logic; pull high to enable; pull low to achieve <1 μA shutdown current |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input | Accepts 2–6 V; requires local 4.7 μF 0603 ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power ground | Primary return path; must be connected to exposed thermal pad for thermal performance and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +105°C ambient), qualified for infotainment, body control, and ADAS power rails |
| Voltage positioning | +1% output offset in PFM mode reduces load-step undershoot by providing headroom before regulation recovery |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as IO × (RDS(on)HS + RDCR), maximizing runtime from depleted Li-ion cells (e.g., down to 2.1 V) |
| Soft-start timing | 250 μs ramp time (5%→95% VOUT) limits inrush current into 10 μF output capacitor, preventing input rail sag |
| Thermal protection | 140°C junction shutdown with 20°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Applications
| Infotainment Display Power | ADAS Camera Module Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 in PWM mode?
The TPS62261TDRVRQ1 delivers a fixed 1.8 V output with ±1.5% accuracy in PWM mode across full operating conditions (–40°C to +105°C, 2 V ≤ VIN ≤ 6 V, 0–600 mA load). This specification is guaranteed in production testing and applies to both nominal and worst-case scenarios defined in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 operate with input voltage below 2 V?
No - the absolute maximum rating specifies –0.3 V to 7 V input, but the recommended operating minimum is 2 V. Below 2 V, the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and disables switching. The UVLO threshold is 1.85 V (falling), so operation ceases before reaching 2 V, protecting battery cells from over-discharge.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and noise performance of the TPS62261TDRVRQ1?
When MODE = GND, the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 enters Power Save Mode (PFM) at light loads (<10 mA), achieving 15 μA quiescent current and >85% efficiency at 100 μA. When MODE = VIN, it remains in fixed 2.25 MHz PWM mode, increasing light-load quiescent current to 3.8 mA but eliminating PFM frequency variation - critical for meeting conducted EMI limits in RF-sensitive automotive modules.
Is the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS6226x-Q1 family?
Yes - all TPS6226x-Q1 variants (TPS62260/1/2/3TDRVRQ1) share identical 2 mm × 2 mm SON-6 (DRV) package, pinout, and footprint. The only differences are output voltage (fixed 1.8 V for TPS62261TDRVRQ1) and internal FB divider configuration; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting within the family.
What thermal derating applies to the TPS62261TDRVRQ1 at 105°C ambient?
At TA = 105°C, the TPS62261TDRVRQ1's power dissipation is limited by its DRV package RθJA of 76°C/W. With 1300 mW maximum power rating at TA ≤ 25°C and 13 mW/°C derating, usable power drops to 1300 mW − (13 mW/°C × 80°C) = 260 mW. This corresponds to ~350 mA at 1.8 V output with typical losses - consistent with datasheet's 300 mA limit at VIN = 2.5 V in high-temp conditions.
