Product details
Overview
TPS62806YKAT from Texas Instruments is a 1.75V–5.5V input, 0.6A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 6-pin WCSP package, featuring 2.3µA quiescent current, 1.5MHz switching frequency, and 0.4V–0.775V selectable output voltage with ±1% accuracy in PWM mode - optimized for ultra-low-power wearable and IoT power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62806YKAT datasheet, TPS62806YKAT pinout, TPS62806YKAT application, or TPS62806YKAT equivalent, this device delivers verified sub-1µA shutdown current, R2D-based resistor-programmable VOUT, DCS-Control topology for fast transient response, and integrated output discharge - critical for battery-powered systems requiring long runtime and clean power sequencing.
Technical Context
The TPS62806YKAT implements TI's DCS-Control topology with dual-loop regulation: an AC loop sensing VOS for immediate transient response and a DC feedback loop for precise steady-state regulation. It supports seamless PFM-to-PWM transition, enabling high efficiency from 1µA to 600mA load range.
Its VSEL/MODE pin serves two validated functions: during startup, it acts as an R2D input to select one of 16 output voltages (0.4V–0.775V in 25-mV steps) via a single external E96 1% resistor; after startup, it becomes a digital MODE input to force PWM operation - eliminating light-load frequency modulation and associated RF interference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.75V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 2×AA, or USB-supplied systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.3µA in power save mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearables. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (PWM mode) - enables use of compact 0.7–1.2µH inductors and <5mm² total solution size. |
| Output Current | 0.6A continuous - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, BLE radios, and display drivers. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% at 25°C in PWM mode - ensures stable core voltage for precision analog or RF subsystems. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.4V to 0.775V in 25-mV steps - targets sub-1V logic rails (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ cores, LPDDR I/O). |
| Shutdown Current | 120nA typical - minimizes battery drain during deep-sleep or system off states. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62806YKAT uses a 6-pin, 0.35mm-pitch DSBGA (WCSP) package measuring 1.05mm × 0.70mm - compatible with 0201 passives and supporting <0.6mm board 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 1.75–5.5V; requires local 0.5–4.7µF ceramic capacitor for high-frequency noise suppression. |
| VSEL/MODE (C1) | Configurable I/O | During startup: reads external resistor for VOUT selection (RVSEL = 10–249kΩ); post-startup: digital input to force PWM mode (VIH ≥ 0.8V). |
| VOS (A2) | Output voltage sense & discharge | Direct connection to output capacitor enables accurate regulation and activates internal MOSFET discharge when EN = low. |
| SW (B2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI. |
| EN (C2) | Enable control | Active-high enable with internal 500kΩ pulldown - eliminates need for external pull-down; transitions cleanly between shutdown and operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| R2D voltage programming | Single external resistor sets output voltage (0.4V–0.775V), eliminating external feedback divider and improving accuracy vs. traditional resistive networks. |
| DCS-Control topology | Combines hysteretic speed and voltage-mode stability - achieves <10µs load transient response with minimal output voltage deviation. |
| Output discharge | Internal MOSFET actively discharges VOUT when disabled, ensuring safe, controlled power-down for downstream logic and ADC references. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + dropout, extending usable battery range in single-cell applications. |
| Smart enable with pulldown | Integrated 500kΩ EN pulldown prevents floating start-up; automatically disconnects after power-up to avoid leakage during active operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62800YKAT | Same 6-pin WCSP package and R2D interface, but rated for 1A output and 4MHz switching frequency. | Better suited for higher-current loads (e.g., multi-core MCUs), but requires smaller inductor (0.33–0.47µH) and has higher IQ in PWM mode (8mA). | Select TPS62800YKAT only if peak load exceeds 0.6A or faster transient response is required; otherwise TPS62806YKAT offers lower cost and optimized light-load efficiency. |
| TPS62086YKAR | 3A buck in 8-pin WCSP, 2.5µA IQ, fixed 0.6V output, no R2D programmability. | Designed for higher-power applications like PMIC companion rails; lacks flexible VOUT selection and forced PWM mode. | Choose TPS62086YKAR when fixed 0.6V/3A is needed and board space permits larger 1.35mm × 1.05mm package; not a drop-in replacement for programmable or low-IQ requirements. |
Compared with TPS62800YKAT and TPS62086YKAR, the TPS62806YKAT uniquely balances ultra-low quiescent current (2.3µA), 0.6A capability, and resistor-programmable sub-1V outputs in the smallest WCSP footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-limited IoT endpoints where flexibility and runtime are prioritized over raw current capacity.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the TPS62806YKAT?
The TPS62806YKAT supports up to 0.6A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (VIN ≥ 2.3V). Its current limit is specified at 0.95–1.2A for the high-side MOSFET and 0.85–1.1A for the low-side MOSFET, providing robust overload protection while maintaining reliable operation at rated load.
How does the R2D converter in the TPS62806YKAT set the output voltage?
The TPS62806YKAT uses an internal resistor-to-digital (R2D) converter on the VSEL/MODE pin to read an external resistor (10–249kΩ, E96 1%) connected to GND. This selects one of 16 pre-defined output voltages between 0.4V and 0.775V in 25-mV steps - eliminating external feedback resistors and improving accuracy versus traditional divider networks.
Does the TPS62806YKAT support forced PWM mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the TPS62806YKAT supports forced PWM mode. After startup completes, applying a logic-high level (≥0.8V) to the VSEL/MODE pin forces continuous PWM operation across all load conditions - reducing output voltage ripple and eliminating PFM frequency modulation that can interfere with sensitive RF or audio circuits.
What is the purpose of the VOS pin on the TPS62806YKAT, and how should it be connected?
The VOS pin on the TPS62806YKAT serves dual functions: it provides the feedback signal for output voltage regulation and enables internal output discharge. It must be connected directly to the output capacitor's positive terminal using the shortest possible trace to ensure accurate sensing and effective discharge when the device is disabled.
Can the TPS62806YKAT operate with input voltages below 2.3V, and what are the implications?
Yes, the TPS62806YKAT operates down to 1.75V input. However, per datasheet specifications, output current capability is reduced below VIN = 2.3V. At lower input voltages, the device maintains regulation but may not sustain full 0.6A output due to duty-cycle and switch resistance limitations - design validation at target VIN is recommended.
