Product details
Overview
TPS62361BYZHR from Texas Instruments is a 3A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with I²C interface and remote sensing, designed for low-voltage processor cores in smartphones and handheld computers. It operates from 2.5V–5.5V input, delivers 0.5V–1.77V output in 10mV steps, features DCS-Control™ architecture, and achieves up to 95% efficiency at 1A with 2.5MHz switching frequency.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62361BYZHR datasheet, TPS62361BYZHR pinout, TPS62361BYZHR application, or TPS62361BYZHR equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable slew rate, differential remote sense capability, thermal shutdown (150°C), ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and NanoFree™ 2mm × 2mm CSP-16 package with integrated power ground pads.
Technical Context
The TPS62361BYZHR implements a high-frequency synchronous buck topology with integrated high-side (44mΩ typ.) and low-side (32mΩ typ.) MOSFETs, controlled by DCS-Control™ architecture that combines voltage-mode control with fast transient response via direct output voltage feedback. Its dual-loop regulation uses differential remote sense inputs (SENSE+, SENSE−) to compensate for PCB IR drop, ensuring precise load-point regulation.
Control logic supports three operating modes-Power Save Mode (PFM) for light loads, forced PWM for noise-sensitive applications, and automatic PFM/PWM transition-managed via I²C (up to 3.4MHz high-speed mode) or hardware pins (VSEL0/VSEL1). The device integrates soft-start, programmable voltage ramp (0.25–32mV/µs), and comprehensive protection including overtemperature (150°C with 20°C hysteresis), input UVLO (2.45V rising), and current limiting (3.6A peak).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3A peak, 2.5A continuous - supports modern application processor burst loads without thermal derating in compact layouts. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V to 1.77V in 10mV steps - enables fine-grained dynamic voltage scaling for ARM Cortex-A series and similar low-VDD cores. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.5MHz typical - allows use of small 0.47µH–1µH inductors and <25mm² total solution size. |

Pinout & Package
The TPS62361BYZHR is housed in a 2mm × 2mm, 16-bump NanoFree™ chip-scale package (CSP-16) with exposed PGND bumps for low-inductance power return and thermal conduction to the PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN | Analog supply input | Provides clean bias for internal analog circuits; must be decoupled near package with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| EN | Enable logic input | Active-high enable with internal 300kΩ pulldown; asserts shutdown when pulled low, drawing ≤5µA from AVIN. |

| VIN/PGND/AGND/SW | Main power path terminals | VIN (2.5–5.5V), SW (switch node to 0.47µH inductor), PGND (power ground, 3 pins), AGND (analog ground, isolated return). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control™ Architecture | Combines fast transient response (<10µs settling for 1A load step) with stable regulation across input/output variations, eliminating need for external compensation. |
| Programmable Output Slew Rate | Configurable via RMP[2:0] bits (000–111) from 0.25mV/µs to 32mV/µs - prevents system-level voltage droop/surge during DVFS transitions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62363YZHR | Same family, identical 0.5V–1.77V output range and I²C interface, but factory-programmed with different default VOUT presets (1.20V/1.36V/1.50V/1.00V). | Direct substitute where alternate voltage sequencing or boot-up defaults are required; same pinout and layout. | Select when specific factory-set output voltages better match target SoC initialization requirements. |
| TPS62400DRVR | 3A buck with I²C, but wider 2.5V–6V input, fixed 1.8V/1.2V dual outputs, no remote sense, and 3mm × 3mm WSON package. | Used in multi-rail systems where secondary fixed outputs simplify power tree; lacks differential sensing for precision load regulation. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs needing dual outputs without remote sense, accepting larger footprint and lower accuracy. |
Compared with TPS62361BYZHR, TPS62363YZHR offers identical performance and compatibility with only differing factory voltage presets, while TPS62400DRVR trades remote sensing and package size for dual-output convenience and broader input range-making it suitable for non-processor applications where load-point accuracy is less critical.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for TPS62361BYZHR?
The TPS62361BYZHR datasheet specifies a minimum 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic input capacitor placed close to VIN and PGND pins. A 0.1µF high-frequency bypass capacitor is also required between AVIN and AGND. These values ensure stable operation across 2.5V–5.5V input and suppress switching noise coupling into analog circuitry. Using lower capacitance risks increased input ripple and potential UVLO triggering during high di/dt load transients.
Does TPS62361BYZHR support true differential remote sensing?
Yes, TPS62361BYZHR implements true differential remote sensing via dedicated SENSE+ and SENSE− pins with 2.2MΩ input impedance. This configuration actively measures voltage directly at the load, rejecting PCB trace resistance errors up to ±25mΩ, and maintains ±0.5% output regulation accuracy even with 50mV IR drop - a capability confirmed in the SLVSAU9C datasheet Section 7.3 and Figure 15–17.
What is the maximum supported I²C clock frequency for TPS62361BYZHR?
The TPS62361BYZHR supports I²C high-speed mode up to 3.4MHz (with CB ≤ 100pF), as specified in Table 3 of the SLVSAU9C datasheet. Standard (100kHz) and fast (400kHz) modes are also fully compliant. Operation above 3.4MHz is not characterized or guaranteed; exceeding this limit may cause communication failures or register corruption due to timing violations in SCL/SDA rise/fall times.
How does the TPS62361BYZHR handle thermal overload?
The TPS62361BYZHR incorporates thermal shutdown at TJ = 150°C with 20°C hysteresis (TJSD,HYST). When junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the device disables switching and enters thermal shutdown. It remains latched off until temperature falls below 130°C, then automatically resumes operation. This behavior is documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the SLVSAU9C datasheet and protects against permanent silicon damage during sustained overload or inadequate PCB cooling.
Can TPS62361BYZHR operate without I²C configuration?
Yes, TPS62361BYZHR can operate without I²C configuration using hardware VSEL0/VSEL1 pins to select one of four factory-programmed output voltages (0.96V, 1.40V, 1.16V, 1.16V). EN pin control enables/disables regulation independently. I²C is optional for dynamic reprogramming; all default settings, protection features, and DCS-Control™ regulation remain fully functional in standalone mode.
