Product details
Overview
TPS62356YZGR from Texas Instruments is a 3-MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with I²C-compatible interface, delivering up to 1000 mA output current at input voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It features ±2% PWM DC voltage accuracy, 35-ns minimum on-time, and supports dynamic voltage scaling down to 12.5-mV steps for low-voltage DSP/processor core supplies in smartphones and handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62356YZGR datasheet, TPS62356YZGR pinout, TPS62356YZGR application, or TPS62356YZGR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.5 V to 1.975 V programmable output range, 12-pin NanoFree™ CSP package, Light PFM/Fast PFM/PWM mode control via I²C, and thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The TPS62356YZGR integrates a 6-bit DAC for I²C-controlled output voltage adjustment and uses a fixed 3-MHz oscillator with PLL-based timing to enable ultra-small external components. Its dual MOSFET power stage includes P-channel and N-channel switches with typical rDS(on) of 320 mΩ and 150 mΩ respectively at 3.2 V gate drive.
It implements two distinct power-save modes-Light PFM for highest light-load efficiency and Fast PFM for improved transient response-and supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin while maintaining full I²C operation up to 3.4 Mbps in High-Speed mode.
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 across full discharge curve. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.50 V to 1.975 V - factory-programmed default 1.80 V with 12.5-mV I²C-adjustable steps. |
| Max Output Current | 1000 mA - achievable at VI ≥ 3.2 V; derated to 800 mA below 3.2 V per thermal limits. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (±0.35 MHz) - enables use of 1 µH inductors and compact 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 3.4 Mbps - compatible with High-Speed I²C for fast dynamic voltage scaling during processor DVFS transitions. |
| Quiescent Current | 35 µA (typ) in Light PFM - extends battery life in standby states without compromising wake-up speed. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS62356YZGR is packaged in a 12-pin NanoFree™ chip-scale package (CSP), measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.4-mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN | Power Input | High-current input supply for power stage; requires local 10-µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| AVIN | Analog Input | Low-noise analog supply for internal bias and reference circuits; separate from PVIN to reduce noise coupling. |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-high digital enable; rising edge resets all registers to default values including output voltage and mode settings. |
| VSEL | Mode Select | Hardware-selectable sleep/active mode; overrides I²C mode bits when asserted, enabling fast hardware state switching. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C Interface | Open-drain bidirectional data and clock lines supporting Standard/Fast/High-Speed I²C up to 3.4 Mbps. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Resistive divider connection point for output voltage sensing; internal 0.4-V reference enables precise regulation. |
| AGND / PGND | Ground Returns | Separate analog and power ground pins minimize noise injection into feedback and control circuitry. |
| SYNC | External Clock Sync | Accepts external 2.65–3.35 MHz clock signal to synchronize switching frequency and reduce EMI in multi-rail systems. |
| SW | Switch Node | Connection to internal P/N-MOSFET drains; routes high di/dt current to external inductor and must be minimized in loop area. |

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 | QFN-10 package; 0.75–1.5375 V output range; no SYNC pin; same I²C interface and 3-MHz operation. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, non-synchronized applications where board space allows larger QFN and lower output voltage is required. | Select when 1.8-V fixed output is unnecessary and PCB layout favors QFN over CSP. |
| TPS62360YZGR | Successor device with 2.5–5.5 V input, 0.6–3.3 V output, 1.2-A capability, and enhanced I²C command set; pin-compatible CSP-12. | Designed for next-gen processors requiring wider output range and higher current, with backward-compatible control interface. | Select for new designs needing extended voltage flexibility and future-proofing; not drop-in for legacy TPS62356 firmware. |
Compared with TPS62355DRCR, the TPS62356YZGR offers higher default output voltage and SYNC capability but shares identical I²C timing and DAC resolution; versus TPS62360YZGR, it provides proven qualification for consumer-grade thermal profiles but lacks extended input/output range and newer fault-reporting registers.

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the TPS62356YZGR?
The TPS62356YZGR has a factory-programmed default output voltage of 1.80 V, within its specified 1.50 V to 1.975 V range. This value is stored in the device's nonvolatile configuration registers and is applied immediately upon power-up or EN assertion before any I²C communication occurs. The TPS62356YZGR maintains ±2% DC accuracy in PWM mode across temperature and line/load variations.
Does the TPS62356YZGR support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS62356YZGR supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin, which accepts an external 2.65–3.35 MHz clock signal to align its internal 3-MHz switching frequency. This feature reduces electromagnetic interference in multi-rail systems by eliminating beat frequencies between independent switchers. The TPS62356YZGR continues full I²C operation during synchronization and does not require reconfiguration.
What package type is used for the TPS62356YZGR?
The TPS62356YZGR uses a 12-pin NanoFree™ chip-scale package (CSP), designated YZG, with dimensions of 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm and 0.4-mm ball pitch. This package places solder balls directly on the silicon die, eliminating wire bonds and lead frames to achieve the smallest possible footprint and thermal resistance. The TPS62356YZGR is not offered in QFN variants - only the YZG CSP package carries the "R" tape-and-reel suffix.
How does the TPS62356YZGR manage power-save modes?
The TPS62356YZGR implements two distinct power-save modes: Light PFM for maximum light-load efficiency (35 µA IQ) and Fast PFM for superior transient response during load steps. Mode selection is configurable via I²C register CONTROL1[4:2] or hardware pin VSEL. The TPS62356YZGR automatically transitions between PFM and PWM based on load current threshold, and all mode states persist through EN toggling unless explicitly overwritten.
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the TPS62356YZGR?
The TPS62356YZGR supports I²C clock frequencies up to 3.4 Mbps in High-Speed mode, compliant with the Philips I²C specification. This capability enables rapid dynamic voltage scaling during processor DVFS events. The TPS62356YZGR also supports Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) modes for backward compatibility. Timing parameters such as tSU,DATA (10 ns min) and tHD,DATA (70 ns max) are guaranteed across temperature and voltage ranges.
