Product details
Overview
TPS6282518DMQR from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with fixed 1.8V output, DCS-Control topology, 1% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, 2.2MHz switching frequency, and 4μA quiescent current - used in power rails for industrial PCs and security cameras requiring high light-load efficiency and compact footprint.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6282518DMQR datasheet, TPS6282518DMQR pinout, TPS6282518DMQR application, or TPS6282518DMQR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal behavior, real-world application constraints, and two technically documented alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The TPS6282518DMQR implements adaptive constant-on-time DCS-Control with seamless PWM-to-PSM mode transition, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation down to 0.6V (though fixed at 1.8V for this variant). Its internal 7.5MΩ feedback divider eliminates external resistors, and active output discharge ensures controlled shutdown.
It integrates 26mΩ high-side and 25mΩ low-side MOSFETs, supports 100% duty cycle operation for ultra-low dropout, and features hiccup-mode short-circuit protection plus thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - all in a 1.5mm × 1.5mm VSON-HR (DMQ) package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% (±18mV) over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature - enables precise core rail regulation without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, camera ISP cores, or SSD controller logic rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 4μA in PSM mode - extends battery runtime in always-on portable electronics and surveillance sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz nominal - allows use of sub-1μH inductors and reduces EMI filter size for space-constrained PCBs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±4% window (96%–104% of nominal) with 100μs deglitch - enables reliable sequencing with downstream converters or processors. |
Pinout & Package
TPS6282518DMQR uses a 6-pin 1.5mm × 1.5mm VSON-HR (DMQ) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad on underside requires solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 129.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; threshold ~0.9V (VIH), must not float - enables system-level power sequencing. |
| PG | Open-drain power-good output | Sinks up to 1mA; requires external pull-up ≤5.5V - signals valid output voltage for downstream enable or fault monitoring. |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.8V output via 7.5MΩ divider - no external resistors needed for fixed-output operation. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common reference for control circuitry and power stage - must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor and output capacitor - carries high di/dt; requires tight layout and minimal trace length. |
| VIN | Input power supply | Accepts 2.4–5.5V; requires local 4.7μF ceramic decoupling - feeds both control circuitry and power switches. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Delivers <10μs load transient response with <1% output deviation - critical for burst-mode imaging sensors and real-time controllers. |
| 1% output voltage accuracy | Maintains ±18mV tolerance across full temperature and line/load range - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog subsystems. |
| Active output discharge | Provides 75–400mA sink current through SW pin during disable - prevents floating outputs and ensures clean reset in multi-rail systems. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Supports VIN as low as VOUT + IOUT×RDS(on) + IOUT×RL - enables operation near battery end-of-life in portable devices. |
| Hiccup short-circuit protection | Shuts down for 100μs after 32-cycle overcurrent detection - limits average power dissipation and avoids thermal runaway during sustained faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6282518DMQT | Tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units/reel) vs. cut-tape (250 units/reel); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Optimized for high-volume SMT production lines requiring reel-fed placement. | Select DMQT for automated assembly; DMQR for prototyping, low-volume builds, or evaluation. |
| TPS62825ADMQ | Adjustable output (0.6–4V) with forced-PWM operation - no PSM mode, higher 8mA IQ, same 2A rating and package. | Preferred where strict output ripple <10mV or fixed-frequency EMI compliance is required, e.g., RF front-end biasing. | Choose TPS62825ADMQ only when adjustable voltage and CCM operation outweigh 2000× higher quiescent current. |
Compared with TPS6282518DMQR, TPS6282518DMQT offers identical performance in volume packaging, while TPS62825ADMQ trades ultra-low IQ for forced-PWM stability - making the DMQR optimal for battery-sensitive, fixed-voltage applications demanding minimal standby loss.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS6282518DMQR over temperature?
The TPS6282518DMQR guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range, meaning its 1.8V output stays within 1.782V to 1.818V under all operating conditions - verified per TI's SLVSEF9I datasheet Section 6.5.
Does the TPS6282518DMQR require external feedback resistors?
No. The TPS6282518DMQR has an internal 7.5MΩ resistor divider connecting FB to the 1.8V output, eliminating external resistors. The FB pin must be directly connected to the output node - confirmed in Section 5 (Pin Functions) and Section 8.2.2.2 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous output current for the TPS6282518DMQR?
The TPS6282518DMQR supports 2A continuous output current, as specified in Table 4 (Device Options) and Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the datasheet - validated under 2.4–5.5V input and proper PCB thermal design.
How does the TPS6282518DMQR handle short-circuit conditions?
The TPS6282518DMQR uses hiccup-mode short-circuit protection: upon detecting overcurrent for 32 switching cycles (~13μs), it disables the high-side FET for 100μs, then restarts with soft-start - limiting average power and preventing thermal damage per Section 7.3.5.
Can the TPS6282518DMQR operate with input voltage equal to output voltage?
Yes. The TPS6282518DMQR supports 100% duty cycle operation, allowing VIN as low as VOUT + IOUT×RDS(on) + IOUT×RL. At 2A load, minimum VIN ≈ 1.8V + 2A×26mΩ + 2A×20mΩ = ~1.9V - enabling operation near battery depletion per Section 7.3.3.
