Product details
Overview
TPS6282518DMQT 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 - designed for high-efficiency point-of-load regulation in space-constrained portable and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6282518DMQT datasheet, TPS6282518DMQT pinout, TPS6282518DMQT application, or TPS6282518DMQT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal behavior, real-world efficiency curves at 1.8V, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The TPS6282518DMQT 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 while maintaining 1% output accuracy across temperature.
It integrates 26mΩ high-side and 25mΩ low-side MOSFETs, supports 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout, and features active output discharge, open-drain power-good signaling with 100μs deglitch delay, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection triggered after 32 switching cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% (–40°C to 125°C), eliminating need for external feedback resistors |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering dual-core microcontrollers or FPGA I/O banks |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and 3.3V/5V rails |
| Quiescent Current | 4μA in PSM mode - extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes and wearables |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz nominal - enables use of compact 470nH inductors and reduces EMI filtering footprint |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C threshold with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in sealed enclosures |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±2% window (94–107% of VOUT) with 100μs rising-edge blanking - ensures reliable rail sequencing |
Pinout & Package
TPS6282518DMQT uses a 6-pin 1.5mm × 1.5mm VSON-HR (DMQ) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and high thermal performance (RθJA = 129.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH = 1.0V min); 0.05μA shutdown current prevents battery drain |
| PG | Power-good open-drain output | Sinks up to 1mA; requires external pullup ≤5.5V; used for supply sequencing or fault indication |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.8V output via 7.5MΩ divider - no external resistors required |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common reference for all circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to external 470nH inductor; carries high di/dt - requires tight layout and Kelvin grounding |
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.4–5.5V; requires 4.7μF ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Delivers <10μs load transient response with minimal output capacitance (2×10μF typical) |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as IOUT × RDS(on) - critical for Li-ion battery systems near end-of-discharge |
| Active output discharge | 75–400mA sink current discharges VOUT to GND during shutdown - prevents back-powering of downstream logic |
| Forced-PWM compatibility | Pin-compatible with TPS62825ADMQ - allows CCM-only operation to reduce output ripple in noise-sensitive analog circuits |
| Hiccup short-circuit protection | 100μs off-time limits average power during sustained shorts - avoids thermal runaway without latch-off |
Applications
| Solid State Drive (SSD) Power Rail | Industrial PC Core Logic Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62825ADMQ | Adjustable output (0.6–4V), forced-PWM only, same 2A rating and DMQ package | Requires external FB resistors; preferred where fixed-frequency CCM is mandatory for EMI control | Select when ripple-sensitive analog loads demand deterministic 2.2MHz operation without PSM modulation |
| TPS6282618DMQT | 3A rated, identical 1.8V fixed output, same DCS-Control and package | Higher current headroom for future-proofing or parallel use; slightly higher RDS(on) (25/24mΩ) | Choose when system peak load may exceed 2A or when margin for thermal derating is required |
Compared with TPS6282518DMQT, TPS62825ADMQ trades adjustability and forced-PWM determinism for added design complexity, while TPS6282618DMQT provides +1A headroom at minor efficiency cost - both retain pin compatibility and thermal footprint.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS6282518DMQT over temperature?
The TPS6282518DMQT guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. This is achieved via an internal precision voltage reference and trimmed feedback divider, eliminating drift-related calibration in automotive and industrial deployments. The TPS6282518DMQT maintains this spec without external components.
Does the TPS6282518DMQT require external feedback resistors?
No - the TPS6282518DMQT integrates a factory-trimmed 7.5MΩ resistor divider that sets the output to precisely 1.8V. The FB pin is internally connected to the output, so external resistors and feedforward capacitors are unnecessary. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability versus adjustable variants like TPS62825DMQ.
How does the TPS6282518DMQT handle short-circuit conditions?
The TPS6282518DMQT employs hiccup-mode short-circuit protection: upon detecting overcurrent for 32 consecutive switching cycles (~13μs), it disables the high-side FET for 100μs, allowing inductor current to decay, then restarts with soft-start. This limits average power dissipation and prevents thermal damage without latching off - a key safety feature for unattended systems using TPS6282518DMQT.
Can the TPS6282518DMQT operate with input voltage below 2.4V?
No - the TPS6282518DMQT has a 2.2V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold with 160mV hysteresis, and its recommended minimum input is 2.4V. Operation below this risks instability or shutdown. For sub-2.4V inputs, consider TI's TPS62864 (1.8V–5.5V input) or alternate families - the TPS6282518DMQT is not rated for such conditions.
What is the thermal resistance of the TPS6282518DMQT package?
The TPS6282518DMQT in its 1.5mm × 1.5mm DMQ (VSON-HR) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 129.5°C/W under JEDEC standard conditions. With proper PCB copper pour (≥2 cm² 2oz thermal pad), actual board-level RθJA can improve to ~70°C/W - critical for sustaining 2A continuous output in sealed enclosures using TPS6282518DMQT.
