Product details
Overview
TPS62403DRCT from Texas Instruments is a dual synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC delivering 400 mA on Channel 1 (VOUT1 = 1.575 V) and 600 mA on Channel 2 (VOUT2 = 2.8 V), operating from 2.5 V to 6 V input, with fixed 2.25-MHz switching frequency and integrated power-save mode for portable OMAP™/DSP power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62403DRCT datasheet, TPS62403DRCT pinout, TPS62403DRCT application, or TPS62403DRCT equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail dynamic voltage scaling support via DEF_1 pin, EasyScale™ one-wire interface capability, 180° out-of-phase operation for reduced input ripple, ±1% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode, and 32-μA typical quiescent current across both converters.
Technical Context
The TPS62403DRCT integrates two independent synchronous buck regulators sharing a single 2.25-MHz oscillator with 180° phase shift to minimize input capacitor RMS current. Each channel uses voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward and internal compensation, supporting automatic PFM-to-PWM transition at light loads.
Channel 1 defaults to 1.575 V (DEF_1 = low), Channel 2 to 2.8 V (fixed), both configurable via EasyScale™ serial interface on MODE/DATA pin. Protection includes thermal shutdown (150°C), undervoltage lockout (1.5–2.35 V), and dual MOSFET current limiting (P-channel: 280–620 mΩ; N-channel: 200–450 mΩ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion or 3-cell NiMH/NiCd batteries and standard 3.3-V/5-V rails. |
| VOUT1 / IOUT1 | 1.575 V / 400 mA - fixed default output for core logic or processor I/O supply with ±1% accuracy in PWM mode. |
| VOUT2 / IOUT2 | 2.8 V / 600 mA - fixed default output for memory or analog subsystems; ADJ2 pin must be tied directly to VOUT2. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz (±12.5%) - enables use of small 2.2-μH inductors and 10-μF ceramic capacitors for compact layout. |
| Quiescent Current | 32 μA typical (both converters active, no load, PFM mode) - extends battery life in standby states. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 95% - achieved at mid-load (e.g., 200 mA @ 3.6 V IN → 1.575 V OUT) with optimized external components. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.2 μA typical - ensures minimal battery drain when both EN1 and EN2 are low. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62403DRCT is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin VSON package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.5-mm pitch) with exposed PowerPAD™ for improved thermal dissipation (RθJA = 45.9°C/W). The package is RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive level 2a.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DEF_1 (Pin 5) | Digital select input for VOUT1 | Low = 1.575 V default; high = 1.1 V default; enables dynamic voltage scaling without external resistors. |
| FB1 (Pin 4) | Feedback sense for Channel 1 | Internally connected to fixed resistor divider; must connect directly to VOUT1 node for regulation. |
| ADJ2 (Pin 1) | Adjust input for Channel 2 | Must be shorted to VOUT2 (not used for adjustment in fixed-output versions like TPS62403). |
| EN1 (Pin 7), EN2 (Pin 9) | Independent enable inputs | Active-high control allows staggered startup, independent rail sequencing, and full shutdown isolation. |
| MODE/DATA (Pin 2) | Multi-function control pin | GND = auto PFM/PWM mode; VIN = forced PWM; also serves as bidirectional EasyScale™ data line. |
| SW1 (Pin 6), SW2 (Pin 10) | Power switch outputs | Connect to external 2.2-μH inductors; each integrates P/N-MOSFETs with current-limit protection. |
| VIN (Pin 3), GND (Pin 8), PowerPAD™ | Supply input, ground, thermal pad | VIN accepts 2.5–6 V; GND and PowerPAD™ must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 180° out-of-phase operation | Reduces input ripple current by ~30%, allowing smaller input capacitance and lower EMI filtering cost. |
| EasyScale™ one-pin serial interface | Enables real-time VOUT1/VOUT2 reprogramming during system operation without additional GPIO or bus overhead. |
| Pin-selectable dual VOUT1 options | DEF_1 pin selects between 1.575 V (low) or 1.1 V (high) - supports adaptive core voltage scaling for DSP/ARM processors. |
| Integrated soft-start | Controls VOUT ramp-up time (750 μs from 5% to 95%) to limit inrush current and prevent supply droop on shared rails. |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Permits dropout operation down to VOUT + 0.5 V (for VOUT > 2 V), extending usable battery range in deep discharge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62401DRCT | Same package and pinout; defaults to VOUT1 = 1.575 V / VOUT2 = 1.8 V instead of 2.8 V. | Optimized for dual-core SoC with lower I/O voltage (e.g., OMAP3630); not suitable where 2.8-V memory interface is required. | Select TPS62401DRCT only if system requires 1.8-V second rail; verify compatibility with downstream 1.8-V logic families. |
| TPS62404DRCT | Same package and pinout; defaults to VOUT1 = 1.2 V / VOUT2 = 3.3 V; higher VOUT2 current limit (1.15 A). | Targets applications needing higher-voltage peripherals (e.g., USB PHY, SD card) or newer low-voltage cores (1.2 V). | Choose TPS62404DRCT when 3.3-V rail is mandatory and 1.2-V core voltage aligns with processor spec; confirm thermal derating at 600-mA load. |
Compared with TPS62401DRCT and TPS62404DRCT, the TPS62403DRCT uniquely balances mid-range output voltages (1.575 V / 2.8 V) for legacy OMAP-L138 and C55x DSP platforms, offering optimal efficiency at 3.6-V nominal battery input without requiring external feedback resistors or layout changes.

FAQ
What are the default output voltages configured for TPS62403DRCT?
The TPS62403DRCT is factory-configured with VOUT1 = 1.575 V (when DEF_1 is low) and VOUT2 = 2.8 V. These fixed values are set internally and require no external resistors. The ADJ2 pin must be directly connected to VOUT2, and FB1 must be tied to VOUT1 for proper regulation. This configuration targets OMAP-L138 and C55x DSP core/I/O voltage requirements.
Can TPS62403DRCT operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, TPS62403DRCT supports independent channel control: EN1 enables Channel 1 (1.575 V), EN2 enables Channel 2 (2.8 V). Either can be held low to disable its respective converter while the other remains active. In single-channel operation, quiescent current drops to 19–23 μA, and the unused switch node (SW1 or SW2) must remain unconnected or terminated per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling.
Does TPS62403DRCT support dynamic voltage scaling during runtime?
Yes, TPS62403DRCT supports real-time VOUT adjustment via the EasyScale™ one-pin serial interface on the MODE/DATA pin. Both VOUT1 and VOUT2 can be reprogrammed while operating-enabling DVFS for processors like OMAP-L138. The interface requires no clock line; timing is self-synchronized, and acknowledge pulses confirm successful register writes.
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS62403DRCT to regulate 2.8 V output?
For reliable regulation of VOUT2 = 2.8 V, TPS62403DRCT requires VIN ≥ 3.3 V (VOUT + 0.5 V) per datasheet Section 7.5. Below this, dropout behavior occurs. At VIN = 3.0 V, the device enters 100% duty cycle but may exhibit reduced load regulation and increased ripple. Full specification compliance (±1% accuracy, 600-mA capability) is guaranteed only above VIN = 3.3 V for 2.8-V output.
How does the 180° phase shift between channels benefit system design?
The 180° phase shift between TPS62403DRCT's two switching channels reduces input capacitor RMS current by up to 30% compared to in-phase operation. This allows smaller 10-μF ceramic input capacitors instead of larger 22–47-μF units, lowers conducted EMI at the input, and eases filtering requirements-critical for space-constrained portable designs with shared battery rails.
