Product details
Overview
TPS62361BYZHT from Texas Instruments is a 3A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with I²C interface, optimized for battery-powered processors. It delivers programmable output voltage from 0.5V to 1.77V in 10mV steps, operates at 2.5MHz switching frequency, supports differential remote sensing, and targets smartphone application processors requiring dynamic voltage scaling.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62361BYZHT datasheet, TPS62361BYZHT pinout, TPS62361BYZHT application, or TPS62361BYZHT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.5–1.77V I²C-programmable VOUT range, ±0.5% output accuracy over temperature, DCS-Control™ transient response, and NanoFree™ 2mm × 2mm CSP-16 package with integrated PGND/AGND separation.
Technical Context
The TPS62361BYZHT implements a DCS-Control™ architecture combining voltage-mode control with fast transient compensation via an error amplifier and ramp generator. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification uses low-RDS(on) P-channel high-side (25–75 mΩ) and N-channel low-side (25–50 mΩ) switches to minimize conduction loss across load range.
It integrates dedicated hardware pins (VSEL0/VSEL1) for preset voltage transitions and supports three I²C modes (Standard/Fast/High-Speed up to 3.4 MHz), enabling real-time DVFS coordination with host processors. Differential SENSE+ and SENSE− inputs provide precise load-point regulation independent of PCB trace resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 3A peak, 2.5A continuous - supports burst-mode CPU loads without thermal derating in compact layouts. |
| Input voltage range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and USB-powered systems. |
| Output voltage range | 0.5V to 1.77V in 10mV steps - enables fine-grained dynamic voltage scaling for submicron processors. |
| Switching frequency | 2.5MHz typical - allows use of small 0.47µH or 1µH inductors and <25mm² total solution size. |
| Output voltage accuracy | ±0.5% (TPS62361B variant) - ensures core voltage compliance under load, line, and temperature variation. |
| Quiescent current | 56µA in PFM mode - extends battery life during processor retention/idle states. |
| Thermal shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects silicon integrity during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS62361BYZHT is housed in a 16-bump, 2mm × 2mm NanoFree™ CSP package with exposed PGND pad for thermal dissipation. Pin layout follows a 4×4 grid with dedicated analog/digital ground separation and differential sense routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN | Analog supply input | Provides clean bias for internal analog circuitry; decoupling required near pin to suppress noise coupling into feedback path. |
| SENSE+ | Positive remote sense | Connects directly to load's VDD rail to compensate for IR drop in power delivery network. |
| SENSE− | Negative remote sense | Connects directly to load's GND reference point to close high-accuracy feedback loop at point-of-load. |
| SCL/SDA | I²C interface | Supports high-speed (3.4 MHz) bidirectional communication for real-time VOUT reprogramming and status monitoring. |
| VSEL0/VSEL1 | Hardware voltage select | Enable four factory-preset output voltages without I²C traffic-critical for fast performance/retention mode transitions. |
| PGND | Power ground | Three dedicated pins (A4, C4, D4) minimize ground bounce and improve EMI performance under high di/dt switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential remote sensing | Compensates for up to 100mΩ PCB trace resistance between converter and load, maintaining ±0.5% regulation at point-of-load. |

| I²C programmable slew rate | RAMP[2:0] register controls voltage transition speed from 0.25 to 32 mV/µs - prevents logic glitches during DVFS transitions. |
| Integrated soft-start | Internal 1ms startup time with monotonic VOUT ramp - eliminates inrush current and avoids brownout on system power-up. |
| Multi-level protection | Includes over-temperature shutdown (150°C), input UVLO (2.45V AVIN trip), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (3.6A typical). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62363YZHT | Same package and pinout; wider 0.5–1.77V VOUT range but different factory presets (1.20V/1.36V/1.50V/1.00V vs. TPS62361B's 0.96V/1.40V/1.16V/1.16V). | Optimized for higher nominal operating points; less suitable for ultra-low-voltage retention modes below 1.0V. | Select TPS62363YZHT when target system requires 1.50V performance mode and tighter factory-set granularity above 1.2V. |
| TPS62865ARQYR | Higher 6A rating, 4MHz switching, smaller 1.45mm × 1.45mm QFN; no VSEL pins; I²C only for programming. | Targets next-gen high-performance SoCs with larger current demands; lacks hardware-triggered voltage transitions. | Choose TPS62865ARQYR for future-proof designs needing >3A headroom and minimal footprint, accepting software-only DVFS control. |
Compared with TPS62363YZHT and TPS62865ARQYR, the TPS62361BYZHT uniquely balances 3A capability, hardware-accelerated voltage transitions via VSEL pins, and ultra-compact 2mm × 2mm packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained smartphone platforms requiring sub-1V retention modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS62361BYZHT?
The TPS62361BYZHT supports 2.5A continuous output current per recommended operating conditions. While it delivers up to 3A peak current for short durations aligned with processor burst loads, sustained operation above 2.5A may impact device lifetime due to thermal stress. The datasheet specifies 2.5A as the continuous rating to ensure reliable operation within the 125°C junction temperature limit under typical PCB thermal conditions.
Does the TPS62361BYZHT require external components for basic operation?
Yes, the TPS62361BYZHT requires an external inductor (0.47µH or 1µH), input capacitor (≥10µF), output capacitor (≥10µF), and 0.1µF high-frequency bypass capacitors on AVIN and VDD. It also needs pull-up resistors on SCL/SDA lines for I²C communication and proper termination of VSEL0/VSEL1 pins if hardware preset selection is used. No external compensation network is needed due to its internally compensated DCS-Control™ architecture.
How does the differential remote sensing function in the TPS62361BYZHT improve regulation accuracy?
The TPS62361BYZHT uses dedicated SENSE+ and SENSE− pins to measure voltage directly at the load terminals, closing the feedback loop at the point-of-load rather than at the IC's output pins. This compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces and package inductance, enabling ±0.5% output accuracy even with up to 100mΩ total path resistance. The internal 2.2MΩ input impedance minimizes loading error on the sense lines.
Can the TPS62361BYZHT operate without I²C communication enabled?
Yes, the TPS62361BYZHT can operate without I²C. Its default output voltage is set by the VSEL0 and VSEL1 pin states at power-up, selecting one of four factory-programmed values (0.96V, 1.40V, 1.16V, or 1.16V). I²C is optional for dynamic reprogramming during operation; all protection features, regulation, and startup behavior remain fully functional without I²C initialization.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS62361BYZHT in a standard 2-layer PCB layout?
In a JEDEC-standard high-K board layout, the TPS62361BYZHT exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 94.8°C/W. At 2.5A output with 3.6V input and 1.2V output, typical power dissipation is ~350mW, resulting in ~33°C junction-to-ambient rise. With proper copper pour and thermal vias under the PGND pad, junction temperature remains well below the 125°C maximum under continuous load at 25°C ambient.
