Product details
Overview
TPS62808YKAT from Texas Instruments is a 1.5 MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for ultra-low-power wearable and IoT applications, delivering up to 0.6 A output current with 2.3 µA quiescent current in power save mode, 1.8 V to 3.3 V selectable output voltage range (100-mV steps), and DCS-Control topology for fast transient response and high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62808YKAT datasheet, TPS62808YKAT pinout, TPS62808YKAT application, or TPS62808YKAT equivalent, this device supports compact <5 mm² designs using 0201 passives, offers R2D-based flexible VOUT configuration via single external resistor, and enables seamless PFM-to-PWM transition without output voltage ripple penalty.
Technical Context
The TPS62808YKAT implements TI's DCS-Control topology with dual-loop regulation: an AC loop sensing VOS for immediate transient response and a DC voltage feedback loop for precise steady-state regulation. It integrates a resistor-to-digital (R2D) converter that reads an external E96-series resistor on VSEL/MODE to select one of 16 output voltages within 1.8–3.3 V.
It operates in three functional modes: power save (PFM) at light loads for 2.3 µA IQ, forced PWM (constant 1.5 MHz) for noise-sensitive systems, and 100% duty cycle operation near VIN ≈ VOUT. Output discharge is enabled via internal MOSFET connected to VOS, active after first enable and requiring VIN > 1.7 V to function.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.75 V to 5.5 V - supports 2×AA, Li-ion, and USB-powered systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 0.6 A - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, sensors, and BLE radios in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.3 µA (power save mode) - extends battery life in always-on wearable and sensor nodes. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5 MHz (forced PWM) - enables use of sub-1 µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% (PWM mode, 25°C) - ensures stable supply for precision analog and RF circuitry without external trimming. |
| Package | 6-pin WCSP (YKA), 0.35 mm pitch, 1.05 mm × 0.70 mm - supports <0.6 mm board height and <5 mm² total solution size. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 147.7 °C/W - requires minimal PCB copper for thermal management in thin-profile wearables. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62808YKAT is housed in a 6-pin, 0.35 mm pitch wafer-chip-scale package (WCSP, YKA) measuring 1.05 mm × 0.70 mm, designed for ultra-thin (<0.6 mm) and area-constrained PCBs. Its optimized pinout supports 0201-size passive placement and minimizes trace inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground | Primary return path for input/output capacitors; must be connected near CIN/COUT pads to minimize noise coupling. |
| VIN | 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 | Configurable I/O | During startup: sets VOUT via R2D conversion (16 options, 1.8–3.3 V); post-startup: selects power save (low) or forced PWM (high). |
| VOS | Output voltage sense & discharge | Direct connection to COUT enables accurate regulation; internal MOSFET discharges VOUT when EN = low (after first enable). |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace and tight SW–GND loop to limit EMI. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high with internal 500 kΩ pulldown; monotonic VIH/VIL transition required to prevent false enable/disable. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Combines hysteretic speed and voltage-mode stability-enables <10 µs load transient recovery with <10 mV undershoot using 0.47 µH inductor and 10 µF COUT. |
| R2D output voltage selection | Single E96 1% resistor (10–249 kΩ) replaces full external feedback divider-improves VOUT accuracy vs. resistor ratio drift and saves PCB area. |
| Smart enable with pulldown | Internal 500 kΩ EN pulldown prevents floating start-up; automatically disconnects after power-up to avoid leakage during active operation. |
| Output discharge via VOS | Internal MOSFET actively pulls VOUT to GND when disabled-ensures clean power-down sequencing for downstream logic and eliminates hold-up voltage issues. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN – VOUT < 200 mV-supports brown-out tolerance in battery-depleted states without rail collapse. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the TPS62808YKAT?
The TPS62808YKAT delivers up to 0.6 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (VIN ≥ 2.3 V). Its overcurrent protection limits high-side switch current to 0.95–1.1 A and low-side to 0.85–1.0 A, ensuring safe operation during transient surges without latch-off.
How does the R2D converter on the TPS62808YKAT set output voltage?
The TPS62808YKAT uses an integrated resistor-to-digital (R2D) converter that measures an external E96 1% resistor (10–249 kΩ) connected between VSEL/MODE and GND during startup. It maps the resistance to one of 16 pre-programmed output voltages from 1.8 V to 3.3 V in 100-mV steps-eliminating external feedback resistors and improving accuracy.
Does the TPS62808YKAT support output voltage discharge, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the TPS62808YKAT provides active output discharge via an internal MOSFET connected to the VOS pin. This feature activates only after the device has been enabled at least once since power-up and requires VIN > 1.7 V to remain functional-ensuring controlled VOUT ramp-down during shutdown.
What is the purpose of the VOS pin on the TPS62808YKAT?
The VOS pin on the TPS62808YKAT serves dual functions: (1) it connects directly to the output capacitor to provide precise voltage sensing for the internal feedback loop, and (2) it hosts the gate of an internal discharge MOSFET that actively pulls VOUT to GND when the device is disabled-critical for clean power sequencing.
Can the TPS62808YKAT operate with input voltage close to its output voltage?
Yes, the TPS62808YKAT supports 100% duty cycle operation, maintaining regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT (e.g., 1.85 V input for 1.8 V output). This capability prevents rail collapse during battery voltage sag and ensures uninterrupted operation in energy-harvesting or multi-cell alkaline systems.
