Product details
Overview
TPS6282618DMQR from Texas Instruments is a 3A 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 industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6282618DMQR datasheet, TPS6282618DMQR pinout, TPS6282618DMQR application, or TPS6282618DMQR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V fixed output, 3A continuous current capability, 1.5mm × 1.5mm VSON-HR (DMQ) package, power-good signaling, active output discharge, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 2×10µF).
Technical Context
The TPS6282618DMQR implements adaptive constant-on-time DCS-Control for fast transient response and stable 2.2MHz operation across input voltages (2.4V–5.5V). Its internal 7.5MΩ feedback divider fixes VOUT at 1.8V, eliminating external resistor networks while maintaining ±1% regulation accuracy over temperature and load.
It operates in automatic PSM/PWM mode transition: PWM for medium-to-heavy loads (CCM), PSM for light loads to sustain >90% efficiency down to µA-level currents. Protection includes hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown (150°C trip), UVLO (2.2V threshold), and 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1% (–40°C to 125°C), enabling direct replacement of adjustable variants without resistor recalculations. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous - supports FPGA core rails, SoC I/O supplies, and multi-core MCU domains without external current sharing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB PD (5V), and industrial 3.3V/5V rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 4μA in PSM - extends battery runtime in always-on sensor nodes and low-power IoT endpoints. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz nominal - allows use of compact 0.47µH inductors and minimizes EMI filtering footprint. |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 97% at 3A/1.8V - reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures and enables fanless industrial PC designs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - provides robust protection during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
TPS6282618DMQR uses a 6-pin 1.5mm × 1.5mm VSON-HR (DMQ) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad exposed on bottom enhances PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-high logic; requires ≥1.0V to start regulation; <0.4V disables device and activates output discharge. |
| PG (Pin 2) | Power-good open-drain | Sinks up to 1mA; asserts high-impedance when VOUT reaches 96–107% of 1.8V; used for rail sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 7.5MΩ divider; must be tied directly to VOUT for fixed-output operation. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Primary return path for control circuitry and power stage; connects to thermal pad for thermal performance. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external 0.47µH inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | Accepts 2.4–5.5V; requires local 4.7µF ceramic capacitor placed within 3mm of pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control topology | Delivers <10µs load transient response with minimal output capacitance - critical for burst-mode processors. |
| Active output discharge | 75–400mA sink via SW pin during disable - prevents floating outputs and ensures safe power-down sequencing. |
| 100% duty-cycle mode | Maintains regulation when VIN drops within ~150mV of VOUT - supports brownout tolerance in battery-powered systems. |
| Hiccup short-circuit protection | Limiting fault current to <5A while cycling soft-start every ~100µs - protects MOSFETs and preserves board reliability. |
| Power-good (PG) signal | Configurable window comparator (90–94% low / 103–107% high) with 100µs blanking - enables precise multi-rail startup coordination. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62826DMQ | Adjustable output (0.6–4.0V); requires external R1/R2 divider; same 3A rating, package, and DCS-Control architecture. | Used where multiple output voltages are needed on same PCB or future voltage flexibility is required. | Select TPS62826DMQ only if adjustable VOUT is necessary; TPS6282618DMQR saves BOM cost and layout area with fixed 1.8V. |
| TPS6282518DMQ | 2A rated (vs. 3A); identical 1.8V fixed output, DMQ package, and electrical specs except current limit and RDS(on). | Suitable for lower-current peripherals like camera modules or interface ICs where 3A headroom is unnecessary. | Choose TPS6282518DMQ for cost-sensitive 1.8V/2A applications; TPS6282618DMQR provides margin for peak SoC loads and thermal headroom. |
Compared with TPS62826DMQ and TPS6282518DMQ, the TPS6282618DMQR uniquely combines 3A capability, fixed 1.8V output, and 1.5mm × 1.5mm footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-current 1.8V rails where simplicity and thermal performance are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS6282618DMQR over temperature and load?
The TPS6282618DMQR delivers 1.8V output with ±1% accuracy across the full junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C and under all load conditions from 0A to 3A. This specification is guaranteed by TI's internal 7.5MΩ precision feedback divider and trimmed bandgap reference, eliminating external resistor drift concerns.
Does the TPS6282618DMQR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS6282618DMQR does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a precision 7.5MΩ internal resistor divider that fixes the output at 1.8V. The FB pin must be connected directly to the output node; R1, R2, and feedforward capacitor C3 are omitted in this configuration.
What is the recommended inductor value and type for the TPS6282618DMQR?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.47µH shielded power inductor with ≥4.8A saturation current and ≤32mΩ DC resistance - such as Coilcraft XFL4015-471ME or Murata DFE201610E-R47M. This value supports 2.2MHz operation, 3A load, and optimal efficiency across the 2.4–5.5V input range.
How does the power-good (PG) signal behave during startup and fault conditions?
The PG pin of the TPS6282618DMQR is an open-drain output that remains low during EN assertion until VOUT reaches 96% of 1.8V, then transitions to high-impedance after a 100µs blanking delay. It pulls low again during UVLO, thermal shutdown, or EN deactivation - providing reliable sequencing and fault indication without external logic.
Can the TPS6282618DMQR operate with input voltage close to its 1.8V output?
Yes, the TPS6282618DMQR supports 100% duty-cycle operation, allowing it to maintain regulation when VIN drops as low as ~1.95V (1.8V + IOUT × RDS(on) + IOUT × LDCR). This enables graceful operation during battery brownout or upstream supply sag without rail collapse.
