Product details
Overview
TPS62800YKAT from Texas Instruments is a 4 MHz, 1 A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 0.35 mm pitch WCSP package, delivering 0.4 V to 0.775 V output with 1% accuracy and 2.3 µA quiescent current - optimized for ultra-low-power wearable and IoT systems powered by 2×AA batteries or single-cell Li-ion.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62800YKAT datasheet, TPS62800YKAT pinout, TPS62800YKAT application, or TPS62800YKAT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, DCS-Control topology behavior, R2D-based VOUT configuration, thermal shutdown thresholds, and real-world soft-start timing - all confirmed for the exact YKA-packaged TPS62800 variant.
Technical Context
The TPS62800YKAT implements TI's DCS-Control topology with dual-loop regulation: an AC loop using the VOS pin for fast transient response and low ripple, and a DC voltage feedback loop for precise steady-state regulation. It supports seamless PFM-to-PWM transition without output disturbance.
Its R2D (resistor-to-digital) converter reads a single external resistor on the VSEL/MODE pin during startup to select one of 16 output voltages (0.4–0.775 V in 25-mV steps), then repurposes that pin as a digital MODE input for forced PWM operation - enabling dynamic switching between efficiency-optimized and noise-sensitive modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.75 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 2×AA alkaline (2.0–3.2 V), or USB-supplied rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering ARM Cortex-M4/M33 microcontrollers, BLE SoCs, and sensor hubs at sub-1 V rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.3 µA in power save mode - enables >1-year battery life in always-on wearable sensors with 200 mAh coin cells. |
| Switching Frequency | 4 MHz nominal - allows use of 0.47 µH inductors and <5 mm² total solution size, supporting <0.6 mm profile designs. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% in PWM mode at 25°C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 0.6–0.8 V core supplies in modern ultra-low-voltage ICs. |
| VOUT Setting Method | R2D converter with single E96 1% resistor (10–249 kΩ) - eliminates external feedback divider errors and simplifies BOM across multiple voltage variants. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in sealed wearable enclosures without airflow. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62800YKAT uses a 6-pin, 0.35 mm pitch DSBGA (WCSP) package measuring 1.05 mm × 0.70 mm - optimized for space-constrained wearables and hearing aids requiring <5 mm² PCB area and <0.6 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (A1) | Power ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and VOS; must be connected near input/output capacitor GND pads to minimize noise coupling. |
| VIN (B1) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.75–5.5 V; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to reduce high-frequency switching noise. |
| VSEL/MODE (C1) | Configurable I/O | During startup: reads external resistor for VOUT selection (0.4–0.775 V); after startup: digital input to force PWM mode (high) or power save mode (low). |
| VOS (A2) | Output voltage sense & discharge | Connects directly to output capacitor; enables internal discharge MOSFET when EN = low - prevents floating VOUT during shutdown. |
| SW (B2) | Switch node | Drives external 0.47 µH inductor; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| EN (C2) | Enable control | Active-high with internal 500 kΩ pulldown; transitions cleanly from shutdown (120 nA IQ) to full operation without external pullup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Combines hysteretic speed and voltage-mode stability - achieves <10 µs load transient response with <10 mV undershoot for 100 mA step loads. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.1 V - extends usable battery range in deep-discharge scenarios (e.g., 0.7 V VOUT from 0.8 V cell). |
| Output discharge via VOS pin | Internal 7–11 Ω discharge switch actively pulls VOUT to GND within 100 µs after EN deactivation - prevents back-powering of downstream circuitry. |
| Smart enable with auto-pulldown disable | Internal 500 kΩ EN pulldown prevents floating start-up, then disconnects after power-up - avoids unintended re-enabling during brownout recovery. |
| Optimized for 0201 passives | Pitch and layout support 0201-size inductors and capacitors - reduces footprint by >30% vs. traditional 0402-based buck solutions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62801YKAT | Fixed 1.2 V output or 0.8–1.55 V selectable range; same 4 MHz/1 A specs and YKA package. | Targets 1.2 V I/O or memory rails instead of sub-1 V cores; not suitable for 0.6 V MCU domains. | Select TPS62801YKAT only when system requires ≥0.8 V output - avoids resistor selection complexity while retaining identical layout and thermal performance. |
| TPS62806YKAT | Same 0.4–0.775 V range and R2D interface, but rated for 0.6 A and 1.5 MHz switching. | Lower peak current and reduced switching frequency trade off size/EMI for lower cost in non-performance-critical sensor nodes. | Choose TPS62806YKAT for cost-sensitive, low-current (<400 mA) applications where 4 MHz EMI is problematic - retains pin compatibility but requires larger inductor (0.7–1.2 µH). |
Compared with TPS62801YKAT and TPS62806YKAT, the TPS62800YKAT uniquely delivers 1 A output at 4 MHz within the 0.4–0.775 V range - making it the only option for high-efficiency, space-constrained sub-1 V core supplies demanding both current headroom and minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the TPS62800YKAT?
The TPS62800YKAT supports up to 1 A of continuous output current when VIN ≥ 2.3 V. At lower input voltages (e.g., 1.8 V), the maximum sustainable output current drops to 0.7 A due to MOSFET RDS(ON) limitations and thermal constraints. This rating is validated across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and applies to both power save and forced PWM modes.
How does the R2D converter in the TPS62800YKAT determine output voltage?
The TPS62800YKAT's R2D converter applies a precision current source to the VSEL/MODE pin during startup, measures the resulting voltage across an external resistor (10–249 kΩ, E96 1%), and selects one of 16 internal feedback dividers to set VOUT from 0.4 V to 0.775 V in 25-mV steps. The conversion completes within the 500–1100 µs startup delay, after which the pin functions as a MODE input.
Does the TPS62800YKAT support 100% duty cycle operation, and under what conditions?
Yes, the TPS62800YKAT supports true 100% duty cycle operation - maintaining regulation when VIN approaches VOUT + 0.1 V. This occurs automatically in PWM mode when the required duty cycle exceeds 95%, allowing uninterrupted operation down to battery voltages as low as 0.75 V for a 0.7 V output - critical for maximizing runtime in coin-cell applications.
What is the purpose of the VOS pin on the TPS62800YKAT, and how must it be connected?
The VOS pin on the TPS62800YKAT serves two roles: (1) it provides the feedback node for the internal voltage divider and regulation loop, and (2) it activates an internal discharge MOSFET when EN = low. It must be connected directly to the output capacitor's positive terminal with the shortest possible trace - no resistors, ferrites, or vias - to ensure accurate regulation and effective discharge within 100 µs.
Can the TPS62800YKAT be used without an external resistor on the VSEL/MODE pin?
Yes - connecting the VSEL/MODE pin directly to GND configures the TPS62800YKAT for its fixed 0.7 V output, eliminating the need for an external resistor. This simplifies BOM and layout for designs requiring only that specific voltage, while retaining all other features including forced PWM mode, output discharge, and DCS-Control performance.
