Product details
Overview
TPS62802YKAR from Texas Instruments is a 4 MHz, 1.8 V to 3.3 V output, 1 A synchronous step-down converter in a 0.35 mm pitch WCSP package, featuring 2.3 µA quiescent current and DCS-Control topology for ultra-low-power wearable and IoT power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62802YKAR datasheet, TPS62802YKAR pinout, TPS62802YKAR application, or TPS62802YKAR equivalent, this device supports resistor-set voltage selection (16 options), forced PWM mode, output discharge, 100% duty cycle operation, and compact <5 mm² PCB footprint with 0201-compatible layout.
Technical Context
The TPS62802YKAR implements TI's DCS-Control topology-combining hysteretic and voltage-mode control-to deliver fast transient response, low output ripple, and seamless PFM-to-PWM transition. Its R2D (resistor-to-digital) converter reads an external resistor on the VSEL/MODE pin to select one of 16 output voltages within the 1.8 V–3.3 V range in 100 mV steps.
It operates across 1.75 V–5.5 V input, supports 1 A continuous output at VIN ≥ 2.3 V, and integrates smart enable with internal 500 kΩ pulldown, thermal shutdown (160°C), and output discharge via the VOS pin. The 6-pin WCSP package enables sub-0.6 mm height designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.75 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 2×AA, and USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 3.3 V in 100 mV steps - fixed 1.8 V when VSEL/MODE tied to GND; programmable via single E96 resistor (10–249 kΩ). |
| Max Output Current | 1 A - sustained at VIN ≥ 2.3 V; enables powering core logic, RF transceivers, or sensors in space-constrained devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.3 µA (power save mode) - extends battery life in always-on wearables and sensor nodes with multi-week standby. |
| Switching Frequency | 4 MHz (PWM mode) - allows use of tiny 0.47 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors for minimal solution size. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% (PWM mode, 25°C–85°C) - ensures stable MCU core voltage or ADC reference without external trimming. |
| Package | 6-pin YKA WCSP, 1.05 mm × 0.70 mm, 0.35 mm pitch - supports <5 mm² board area and <0.6 mm profile for ultra-thin wearables. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62802YKAR uses a 6-pin DSBGA (WCSP) package designated YKA, measuring 1.05 mm × 0.70 mm with 0.35 mm pitch. The package supports 0201 component placement and enables sub-0.6 mm design height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (A1) | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors and power stage; must be connected near both CIN and COUT for noise suppression. |
| VIN (B1) | Input power supply | Accepts 1.75–5.5 V; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to minimize voltage spikes and EMI. |
| VSEL/MODE (C1) | Configurable I/O | During startup: sets VOUT via R2D conversion (16 options); after startup: selects power save (low) or forced PWM (high) mode. |
| VOS (A2) | Output voltage sense & discharge | Connects directly to output capacitor; enables precise regulation via internal feedback divider and discharges VOUT via internal MOSFET when disabled. |
| SW (B2) | Switch node | Drives external 0.47 µH inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, low-inductance trace routing to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| EN (C2) | Enable control | Active-high logic input with internal 500 kΩ pulldown; ensures safe default-off state; disables converter and activates output discharge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Enables simultaneous high efficiency at light loads (2.3 µA IQ) and fast transient response (<10 µs load step recovery) without external compensation. |
| R2D voltage selection | Replaces traditional resistor divider with single external resistor (E96, 1%) for 16 factory-trimmed VOUT options-improves accuracy and reduces BOM count. |
| Output discharge | Internal VOS-discharge MOSFET actively pulls VOUT to near 0 V upon disable-prevents back-powering or latch-up in multi-rail systems. |
| Smart enable with pulldown | Integrated 500 kΩ EN pulldown prevents floating start-up; automatically disconnects after power-up to avoid leakage during active operation. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.1 V-critical for brownout resilience in battery-powered systems nearing end-of-life. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62808YKAR | Same 6-pin WCSP package and 1.8–3.3 V output range, but rated for 0.6 A and 1.5 MHz switching frequency. | Lower output current and reduced switching frequency limit inductor size flexibility and light-load efficiency. | Select TPS62808YKAR only if 0.6 A max load and relaxed transient response requirements allow larger inductors and higher output ripple. |
| TPS6208818RTER | 3 A, 2.5–5.5 V input, 1.8 V fixed output; 2-mm × 2-mm WSON package; 1.2 µA IQ; 2.5 MHz switching. | Higher current capability and different package footprint; lacks R2D programmability and output discharge. | Choose TPS6208818RTER when >1 A load or higher thermal margin is required, accepting loss of programmable VOUT and discharge functionality. |
Compared with TPS62808YKAR, the TPS62802YKAR delivers 67% higher output current and 2.7× faster switching for smaller passives, while retaining identical package and VOUT range; versus TPS6208818RTER, it trades current headroom for ultra-compact size, programmability, and integrated discharge-critical for wearables.

FAQ
What is the fixed output voltage of TPS62802YKAR when the VSEL/MODE pin is grounded?
The TPS62802YKAR has a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 1.8 V when the VSEL/MODE pin is connected directly to GND-no external resistor required. This configuration simplifies design for applications needing only that specific rail, such as powering 1.8 V I/O interfaces or low-voltage MCUs. The 1.8 V setting is confirmed in TI's Device Comparison Table and Section 4 of the datasheet.
Does TPS62802YKAR support output voltage discharge, and how is it implemented?
Yes, TPS62802YKAR supports active output voltage discharge via its dedicated VOS pin. When the device is disabled (EN = low), an internal MOSFET connects the VOS pin to GND, discharging the output capacitor through a typical 9 Ω on-resistance. This function activates only after the device has been enabled at least once since power-up and requires VIN above the UVLO falling threshold (1.56 V). It ensures VOUT ramps cleanly to 0 V, preventing back-powering of downstream circuitry.
What is the soft-start time of TPS62802YKAR, and how does it differ from other TPS6280x variants?
The TPS62802YKAR has a soft-start time (tSS) of 400–500 µs-longer than TPS62800/TPS62801 (125–170 µs) due to its wider output voltage range (1.8–3.3 V). This extended ramp minimizes inrush current when charging larger output capacitors common in higher-VOUT applications. The value is specified in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics and validated across temperature (–40°C to +125°C).
Can TPS62802YKAR operate with input voltage equal to its output voltage?
Yes, TPS62802YKAR supports 100% duty cycle operation, maintaining regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT (e.g., 1.85 V input for 1.8 V output). In this mode, the high-side MOSFET remains continuously on, eliminating switching losses and sustaining output under brownout conditions. This behavior is explicitly documented in Section 7.4.3 and enables extended battery runtime in single-cell systems.
What are the recommended external components for a basic TPS62802YKAR application?
A standard TPS62802YKAR design requires a 0.47 µH shielded inductor (e.g., TDK SPML2520-R47M), 4.7 µF X5R/X7R input capacitor, 10 µF X5R/X7R output capacitor, and optionally a 100 kΩ E96 resistor (1%) from VSEL/MODE to GND for 2.5 V output. Layout guidelines emphasize short SW and GND traces, direct VOS-to-COUT connection, and thermal pad soldering per TI's YKA mechanical drawing.
