Product details
Overview
TPS62823DLCT from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter delivering up to 3 A output current at 0.6 V to 4 V adjustable output, operating from 2.4 V to 5.5 V input with 1% feedback voltage accuracy and 4 µA quiescent current. It employs DCS-Control™ topology for fast transient response and supports 100% duty-cycle operation in low-dropout conditions-ideal for point-of-load regulation in battery-powered SSDs and portable industrial terminals.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62823DLCT datasheet, TPS62823DLCT pinout, TPS62823DLCT application, or TPS62823DLCT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.2 MHz switching frequency, integrated 26 mΩ/25 mΩ power switches, seamless PWM-to-PSM mode transition, active output discharge, and QFN-8 (2.0 mm × 1.5 mm) thermal performance validated to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS62823DLCT implements adaptive constant-on-time DCS-Control™ with stabilized 2.2 MHz nominal switching frequency, enabling tight DC regulation and sub-10 µs load transient recovery. Its dual-MOSFET power stage integrates a 26 mΩ high-side and 25 mΩ low-side switch, supporting continuous 3 A output under thermal limits defined by RθJA = 114.1°C/W on JEDEC PCB.
Functional modes include PWM (CCM) above half-inductor ripple current, PSM (DCM) at light loads with frequency scaling, and 100% duty-cycle operation when VIN − VOUT falls below the FET and inductor IR drop. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (4.3 A typ.), HICCUP short-circuit response, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and undervoltage lockout at 2.2 V with 160 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports high-density POL rails for multi-core SoCs and FPGA I/O banks. |

Pinout & Package
TPS62823DLCT is housed in a thermally enhanced 2.0 mm × 1.5 mm VQFN-8 (DLC) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for high-power density and low-profile applications requiring minimal PCB area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; threshold ~0.9 V rise / 0.7 V fall; must not float; enables 50 nA shutdown current. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback sensing node | Connects to resistor divider; regulates VOUT via 0.6 V reference; ±1% accuracy over full temp range. |
| AGND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Internally tied to PGND; provides clean reference for error amplifier and bandgap; may be left floating. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; may be tied to VOUT, GND, or left unconnected without impact. |
| PGND (Pin 5) | Power ground return | Primary return path for high-current SW node and internal FETs; requires low-impedance PCB pour. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed short and wide to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main power input | Accepts 2.4–5.5 V; supplies internal bias and power switches; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| PG (Pin 8) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals valid regulation (94–108% VFB window); sinks ≤1 mA; needs external pull-up for host monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control™ topology | Enables <10 µs load transient response with no external compensation required-reduces design cycle time. |
| Seamless PWM/PSM transition | Maintains <10 mV output ripple across 10 µA–3 A load range without voltage glitch or mode-hopping artifacts. |
| Active output discharge | Drains VOUT via SW pin sink (75–400 mA) during shutdown-prevents back-powering of downstream circuitry. |
| HICCUP short-circuit protection | Limits average output power during overload by cycling 100 µs off-time-preserves reliability without latch-off. |
| CISPR-11 Class B compliance | Meets radiated emission limits without shielding or ferrite beads-simplifies EMI certification for end equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62822DLCT | 2 A output current; identical pinout, package, and feature set except lower current rating and 35 mΩ HS RDS(on). | Suitable where peak load remains ≤2 A; offers same layout and BOM compatibility but lower thermal margin. | Select TPS62822DLCT only if verified max load is ≤2 A and thermal headroom permits higher conduction loss. |
| TPS62933RTER | 3 A, 2.5–5.5 V input, 1.5 MHz, 15 µA IQ, 0.5% VFB accuracy, 1.2 mm × 2.1 mm WSON-10 package. | Higher accuracy and lower noise, but larger package, different pinout, and no PG or 100% mode support. | Choose TPS62933RTER only when <0.5% regulation tolerance is mandatory and board space allows WSON-10 re-layout. |
Compared with TPS62822DLCT, the TPS62823DLCT delivers 50% higher output current with lower RDS(on) and identical footprint; versus TPS62933RTER, it trades 0.5% accuracy and lower IQ for PG signaling, 100% mode, and smaller 2.0 mm × 1.5 mm QFN-8 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive POL designs requiring robust fault reporting.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS62823DLCT?
The TPS62823DLCT delivers up to 3 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating is validated with the 2.0 mm × 1.5 mm QFN-8 package and 470 nH inductor, and accounts for internal 26 mΩ/25 mΩ MOSFET conduction losses and thermal resistance of RθJA = 114.1°C/W on JEDEC PCB.
Does the TPS62823DLCT support 100% duty-cycle operation?
Yes, the TPS62823DLCT enters 100% duty-cycle mode when the input voltage approaches the output voltage-keeping the high-side FET fully on and the low-side FET off. This maintains regulation down to VIN − VOUT ≈ IOUT × RDS(on) + IOUT × DCRL, enabling operation during brownout or low-input conditions without dropout.
How does the TPS62823DLCT handle light-load efficiency?
The TPS62823DLCT automatically transitions from PWM to Power Save Mode (PSM) at light loads, reducing switching frequency while maintaining regulation. This achieves >85% efficiency at 100 µA load and preserves <10 mV output ripple-enabled by DCS-Control™ architecture and seamless mode transition without voltage glitch.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the TPS62823DLCT?
Pin 4 (NC) on the TPS62823DLCT is internally not connected. It may be left floating, tied to VOUT, or connected to ground without affecting operation. TI explicitly states this pin has no electrical function and requires no routing or termination for functional or thermal performance.
Can the TPS62823DLCT start into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the TPS62823DLCT supports startup into a pre-biased output-a critical capability for hot-swap and rail-sequencing applications. Its soft-start circuitry controls the output voltage ramp without drawing reverse current from the pre-charged rail, preventing bus disturbance or damage to downstream components.
