Product details
Overview
TPS62351DRCR from Texas Instruments is a 3-MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with I²C-compatible interface, delivering up to 800 mA output current from 2.7 V–5.5 V input, supporting adjustable output voltage (0.9 V–1.6875 V) and operating in Light PFM, Fast PFM, or forced PWM modes for mobile phone core power applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62351DRCR datasheet, TPS62351DRCR pinout, TPS62351DRCR application, or TPS62351DRCR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C programmability (up to 3.4 Mbps), ±2% PWM DC voltage accuracy at 1.10 V/1.50 V default outputs, 35-ns minimum on-time, 28-µA quiescent current in Light PFM mode, and QFN-10 package thermal performance (49°C/W).
Technical Context
The TPS62351DRCR integrates a 6-bit DAC, dual MOSFET gate drivers, and PLL-based 3-MHz oscillator with synchronization capability. Its control architecture supports dynamic voltage scaling via I²C commands, enabling real-time adjustment of output voltage in 12.5-mV steps and mode selection between efficiency-optimized Light PFM and transient-optimized Fast PFM.
It features split internal power domains (PVIN for power stage, AVIN for analog circuitry), dedicated AGND and PGND pins, and built-in discharge resistor (15–50 Ω) for controlled power-down sequencing. The device enters shutdown with <2 µA current when EN is low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion battery operation with headroom for voltage sag. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.9 V to 1.6875 V - digitally adjustable via I²C; default outputs are 1.10 V and 1.50 V. |
| Max Output Current | 800 mA - sustained at VI = 2.7 V, enabling compact power delivery for DSP/processor cores. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (±0.35 MHz) - fixed-frequency operation enables use of sub-2.2-µH inductors and reduces EMI footprint. |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA typical in Light PFM - extends battery life during light-load standby states in portable devices. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 3.4 Mbps - compatible with High-Speed I²C mode for fast dynamic voltage scaling in SmartReflex™ systems. |
| DC Voltage Accuracy | ±2% in PWM mode - ensures stable core supply under load transients for OMAP™/XSCALE™ processors. |
| Min On-Time | 35 ns - supports high VIN-to-VOUT conversion ratios (e.g., 5.5 V → 0.9 V) without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62351DRCR is packaged in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 10-pin QFN (DRC) with exposed PowerPAD™ thermally connected to PGND. Pin 1 is PVIN; pin 10 is SW; pin 9 is shared PGND; pin 8 is AGND; pin 7 is EN; pin 5 is VSEL; pins 3 and 4 are SDA and SCL; pin 6 is FB; pin 2 is AVIN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN | Power input for high-side switch | Connects directly to bulk input capacitor; handles peak switching current; separate from AVIN for noise isolation. |
| AVIN | Analog supply input | Powers internal bias, reference, and control logic; must be decoupled near pin to suppress digital switching noise. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high; rising edge resets all registers to defaults; must be terminated-no floating connection allowed. |
| VSEL | Mode select input | Hardware-selectable active/sleep mode; also used as I²C address bit; requires external pull-up/down. |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain; supports Standard/Fast/High-Speed I²C; used for voltage scaling, mode reconfiguration, and status reads. |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Drives internal timing; accepts up to 3.4 MHz clock for High-Speed mode writes/reads. |
| FB | Feedback sense input | Resistor-divider connected to output; internal 0.4 V reference sets VO = 0.4 V × (1 + R1/R2); high-impedance (700–1000 kΩ). |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, VREF, and control circuits; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling into feedback path. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Return path for high-current switch node; tied internally to PowerPAD™; requires low-inductance PCB copper pour. |
| SW | Switch node output | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave; layout critical to minimize EMI and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| I²C programmability | 6-bit DAC enables 12.5-mV output voltage steps across full range, supporting dynamic voltage scaling for SmartReflex™ compliance. |
| Multi-mode operation | Three selectable operating modes-Light PFM (efficiency-optimized), Fast PFM (transient-optimized), and forced PWM (fixed-frequency)-configured via register or VSEL pin. |
| Thermal protection | Integrated thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking in QFN-10 package. |
| Low-noise power-down | Internal 15–50 Ω discharge resistor actively pulls output to ground during shutdown, eliminating hold-up voltage and ensuring clean system reset. |
| Split supply architecture | Dedicated PVIN and AVIN inputs isolate noisy power-switching paths from sensitive analog control circuitry, improving PSRR and stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62355DRCR | Same QFN-10 package; identical 3-MHz operation and I²C interface; default output voltage 0.90 V (vs. 1.10 V/1.50 V); supports lower 0.75 V minimum output. | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage cores (e.g., sub-1.0 V FPGA I/O banks); lacks VSEL0/VSEL1 pin-selectable defaults of TPS62351DRCR. | Select TPS62355DRCR when design requires 0.75 V minimum output or tighter default at 0.90 V; verify I²C register mapping differs for VSEL bit handling. |
| TPS62360YZGR | 12-pin NanoFree™ CSP; higher 1-A output rating; 2.5-MHz to 4-MHz adjustable frequency; same I²C interface and SmartReflex™ support. | Targeted at next-gen smartphones with higher current demands; CSP package offers better thermal performance but requires finer-pitch assembly. | Choose TPS62360YZGR for >800 mA loads or designs needing frequency tuning; note CSP-12 footprint and solder-reflow profile differ from QFN-10. |
Compared with TPS62351DRCR, TPS62355DRCR provides lower default output and extended voltage range but shares identical control architecture and package, while TPS62360YZGR delivers higher current and frequency flexibility in a smaller CSP form factor-both require PCB layout and firmware validation due to non-drop-in register and pinout differences.

FAQ
What is the default output voltage configuration of the TPS62351DRCR?
The TPS62351DRCR has two factory-set default output voltages: 1.10 V (when VSEL0 = 1, VSEL1 = 0) and 1.50 V (when VSEL0 = 0, VSEL1 = 0). These are selected via hardware pins and can be overridden dynamically via the TPS62351DRCR's I²C interface to any value between 0.9 V and 1.6875 V in 12.5-mV steps.
Does the TPS62351DRCR support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS62351DRCR supports external clock synchronization via its SYNC pin, which accepts an external clock signal in the 2.65 MHz to 3.35 MHz range. This allows the TPS62351DRCR to align its 3-MHz switching frequency with other converters in multi-rail systems to reduce beat-frequency EMI.
What is the thermal performance of the TPS62351DRCR in its QFN-10 package?
The TPS62351DRCR in the DRC (QFN-10) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 49°C/W under JEDEC-standard 4-layer board conditions. At 800 mA load and 3.6 V input, typical power dissipation yields ~1.2 W, resulting in ~60°C junction rise above ambient-well within the 125°C max virtual junction temperature limit.
How does the TPS62351DRCR handle power-down sequencing?
The TPS62351DRCR incorporates an internal 15–50 Ω discharge resistor connected to the output. When the EN pin is pulled low or the EN_DCDC bit is cleared via I²C, this resistor actively discharges the output capacitor, ensuring rapid, controlled ramp-down of VO without external components-critical for reliable system reset in portable devices using the TPS62351DRCR.
Can the TPS62351DRCR operate with a 1-µH inductor?
Yes, the TPS62351DRCR is fully characterized and optimized for use with a 1-µH inductor (e.g., FDK MIPSA2520 series), enabling compact solutions. At 3-MHz operation and 800 mA load, a 1-µH inductor yields acceptable ripple and transient response; the 35-ns minimum on-time ensures stable regulation even at high input-to-output voltage ratios (e.g., 5.5 V → 0.9 V) with this inductance value.
