Product details
Overview
TPS62290IDRVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 1000 mA output current, operating from 2.3 V to 6.0 V input, with fixed 2.25-MHz switching frequency and ±1.5% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode. It powers critical subsystems in instrument clusters and front cameras where compact size and high efficiency across light-to-heavy loads are essential.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62290IDRVRQ1 datasheet, TPS62290IDRVRQ1 pinout, TPS62290IDRVRQ1 application, or TPS62290IDRVRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2-mm × 2-mm SON-6 package, Power Save Mode (15 µA quiescent current), dynamic voltage positioning (+1% light-load offset), 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation, and MODE pin-controlled PFM/PWM mode transition.
Technical Context
The TPS62290IDRVRQ1 implements a voltage-mode PWM controller with input voltage feedforward for fast line/load regulation and uses internal high-side (240–480 mΩ) and low-side (185–380 mΩ) MOSFETs. Its functional architecture supports automatic PFM entry at light loads and forced PWM via MODE pin, enabling noise-sensitive system design while maintaining >90% peak efficiency across 10 mA–1 A load range.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (1.85 V falling threshold), thermal shutdown (140°C), short-circuit protection via dual current-limit comparators, and soft-start (250 µs ramp time). The device operates with external 2.2 µH inductor and 10 µF output capacitor, optimized for minimal solution footprint in space-constrained automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for TPS62290IDRVRQ1 in a typical 1.8 V application?
The TPS62290IDRVRQ1 is optimized for use with a 2.2 µH shielded power inductor rated for ≥1.5 A saturation current and ≤120 mΩ DC resistance. This value balances ripple current (≈300 mA pk-pk at 1 A), PFM-mode output voltage ripple, and PCB footprint. Inductors between 1.5 µH and 4.7 µH are supported, but deviation beyond this range may impact stability or transient response. The TPS62290IDRVRQ1 datasheet specifies L1 = 2.2 µH in all reference schematics.
Does TPS62290IDRVRQ1 support true 100% duty cycle operation, and what is the minimum input voltage to sustain 1.8 V output at full load?
Yes, TPS62290IDRVRQ1 enters 100% duty cycle mode when VIN approaches VOUT to maintain regulation. At 1000 mA load and 1.8 V output, minimum VIN is calculated as VOUT + IO × (RDS(on)HSmax + RINDUCTOR). With RDS(on)HSmax = 480 mΩ and typical 2.2 µH inductor DCR of 30 mΩ, minimum VIN ≈ 1.8 V + 1 A × 0.51 Ω = 2.31 V - matching its 2.3 V absolute minimum rating. The TPS62290IDRVRQ1 sustains regulation down to this limit.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and noise performance of TPS62290IDRVRQ1?
When MODE = GND, TPS62290IDRVRQ1 operates in Power Save Mode (PFM) at light loads (<100 mA), achieving ~88% efficiency and 15 µA IQ, but with variable switching frequency causing broadband noise. When MODE = VIN, it forces fixed 2.25-MHz PWM mode across all loads - reducing efficiency at light loads (~75%) but enabling predictable EMI filtering and eliminating audible coil whine. The TPS62290IDRVRQ1's dual-mode capability allows system-level trade-offs between efficiency and noise.
Can TPS62290IDRVRQ1 be used with ceramic output capacitors only, and what is the minimum required capacitance?
Yes, TPS62290IDRVRQ1 is designed for ceramic output capacitors exclusively. Minimum recommended value is 4.7 µF (X5R/X7R, 6.3 V rating), though 10 µF is specified in all reference designs for optimal transient response and PFM-mode ripple suppression. Total effective capacitance must remain ≥3.5 µF after derating for DC bias and temperature. Using less than 4.7 µF risks instability or excessive output voltage deviation during load steps. The TPS62290IDRVRQ1's control loop is compensated for ceramic-only output networks.
Is TPS62290IDRVRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS6229x-Q1 family, and can it replace TPS62293IDRVRQ1 on the same PCB?
TPS62290IDRVRQ1 and TPS62293IDRVRQ1 share identical DRV (SON-6) package, pinout, and thermal pad layout - they are mechanically and electrically pin-compatible. However, TPS62293IDRVRQ1 has internal 3.3 V feedback divider and no FB pin connection required, whereas TPS62290IDRVRQ1 requires external resistors for 1.8 V. Direct replacement is possible only if the FB network is removed or reconfigured; otherwise, output voltage will be incorrect. The TPS62290IDRVRQ1 and TPS62293IDRVRQ1 differ solely in feedback configuration, not pin function.
