Product details
Overview
TPS62356YZGT 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 and processor core supplies in smartphones and handheld computers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62356YZGT datasheet, TPS62356YZGT pinout, TPS62356YZGT application, or TPS62356YZGT 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 SmartReflex™ compliance for adaptive power management in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The TPS62356YZGT integrates a 6-bit DAC for precise I²C-controlled output voltage adjustment across its 1.5 V–1.975 V range, with dedicated registers for Light PFM (efficiency-optimized), Fast PFM (transient-optimized), and forced PWM modes. Its 3-MHz fixed-frequency operation enables use of ultra-small 1-µH inductors and 10-µF ceramic capacitors.
Internal power MOSFETs feature typical rDS(on) of 320 mΩ (P-channel) and 150 mΩ (N-channel) at VGS = 3.2 V, supporting peak current limits of 1300–1800 mA (P-MOS) and ±500–±900 mA (N-MOS sinking/sourcing). Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion batteries and regulated 3.3-V/5-V rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 1.975 V - factory-configured default 1.80 V, adjustable in 12.5-mV steps via I²C. |
| Max Output Current | 1000 mA - supported at VI ≥ 3.2 V; derated to 800 mA below 3.2 V due to thermal constraints. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz (±0.35 MHz) - enables compact 1-µH inductor and low-ESR ceramic capacitor designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 35 µA (typ) in Light PFM mode - extends battery life in standby and light-load conditions. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 3.4 Mbps - supports high-speed dynamic voltage scaling in SmartReflex™-compliant systems. |
| DC Voltage Accuracy | ±2% in PWM mode - ensures stable core supply for processors operating at 1.8 V nominal. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS62356YZGT is packaged in a 12-pin NanoFree™ chip-scale package (CSP-12), measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.4-mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained portable applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN | Power input for output stage | Connects directly to high-current input rail; decoupled with low-ESR capacitor near package. |
| AVIN | Analog input supply | Provides bias for internal analog circuitry; must be connected to same source as PVIN with local 10-µF bypass. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; rising edge resets all I²C registers to defaults and initiates startup sequence. |
| VSEL | Mode select input | Hardware-selectable active/sleep mode; overrides I²C control when asserted, enabling fast hardware state transitions. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Support Standard/Fast/High-Speed I²C modes; require external pull-up resistors (typically 2.2 kΩ). |
| FB | Feedback sense input | Resistor-divider connection point for output voltage regulation; internal reference is 0.4 V. |
| AGND / PGND | Analog & power ground | Separate ground pins minimize noise coupling; must be joined under IC with low-inductance trace. |
| SYNC | External clock sync input | Accepts 2.65–3.35 MHz external clock for system-level switching frequency synchronization. |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to external inductor; requires careful layout to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SmartReflex™ Compliance | Enables dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) in OMAP™/XSCALE™ processors via I²C register writes. |
| Split-Supply Support | Independent AVIN/PVIN rails allow separate analog and power domain routing for noise isolation. |
| On-the-Fly Synchronization | SYNC pin accepts external clock without interrupting regulation, enabling multi-rail phase alignment. |
| Efficiency-Optimized Power-Save Mode | Light PFM mode achieves >80% efficiency at 1-mA load, critical for always-on subsystems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62355DRC | QFN-10 package; 0.75–1.5375 V output range; no SYNC pin; 800-mA max output at VI ≥ 2.7 V. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-synchronized applications with lower voltage requirements (e.g., baseband processors). | Select when board space allows QFN-10 and system does not require external clock synchronization or >1.5375 V output. |
| TPS62360YZGR | Successor device with 2.5-MHz operation; 0.6–1.82 V range; integrated soft-start; improved light-load efficiency (22 µA IQ). | Better suited for next-gen designs needing wider voltage range, lower IQ, and enhanced transient response. | Choose for new designs targeting longer battery life and broader DVFS coverage; not pin-compatible with TPS62356YZGT. |

FAQ
What is the default output voltage of the TPS62356YZGT?
The TPS62356YZGT has a factory-programmed default output voltage of 1.80 V, within its configurable range of 1.5 V to 1.975 V. This value is set by internal register defaults at power-up and can be reprogrammed via the I²C interface in 12.5-mV increments. The device retains this setting until overwritten, even after cycling EN.
Does the TPS62356YZGT support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS62356YZGT supports external clock synchronization via its dedicated SYNC pin, which accepts an input clock in the 2.65–3.35 MHz range. This allows precise alignment of the 3-MHz switching frequency with other system clocks, reducing beat frequencies and EMI in multi-rail power architectures without interrupting regulation.
What package type is used for the TPS62356YZGT?
The TPS62356YZGT uses a 12-pin NanoFree™ chip-scale package (CSP-12), measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.4-mm ball pitch. This ultra-compact package minimizes PCB area and thermal resistance (θJA = 89°C/W), making it ideal for thin-profile portable devices where board space and thermal performance are critical.
How does the TPS62356YZGT manage power-save modes?
The TPS62356YZGT implements two distinct power-save modes: Light PFM (optimized for highest light-load efficiency, IQ = 35 µA) and Fast PFM (optimized for superior transient response). Mode selection is controlled via I²C registers or the hardware VSEL pin, allowing dynamic adaptation to system workload without firmware intervention.
Is the TPS62356YZGT compatible with SmartReflex™ technology?
Yes, the TPS62356YZGT is explicitly designed as a SmartReflex™-compliant power supply. It supports the full SmartReflex™ Class 3 interface protocol over I²C, enabling seamless integration with OMAP™ and XSCALE™ processors for closed-loop adaptive voltage scaling, real-time power optimization, and thermal-aware performance management.
