Product details
Overview
TPS62901RPJR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for high efficiency and ultra-low quiescent current in space-constrained applications. It delivers up to 1A continuous output, supports 3V–17V input, provides ±0.9% VFB accuracy across –40°C to 150°C, and features DCS-Control™ topology with selectable 1.0MHz/2.5MHz switching frequency - used in industrial power rails, motor drive bias supplies, and notebook core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62901RPJR datasheet, TPS62901RPJR pinout, TPS62901RPJR application, or TPS62901RPJR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4µA typical IQ in power-save mode, 1.5mm × 2.0mm VQFN-HR (RPJ) package with 0.5mm pitch, MODE/S-CONF configurable operation (AEE, forced PWM, VSET/FB), integrated power-good output, and absence of external bootstrap capacitor requirement.
Technical Context
The TPS62901RPJR implements DCS-Control™ topology, combining fast transient response via direct control of output voltage changes with stable DC regulation using an internal voltage feedback loop and seamless transition between PWM and power-save modes. Its predictive off-time modulation enables Automatic Efficiency Enhancement (AEE) across wide VIN/VOUT/load ranges without compromising ripple current or stability.
It integrates dual MOSFETs with 62mΩ high-side and 22mΩ low-side RDS(ON), supports both external FB divider (0.6V–5.5V) and internal VSET configuration (16 fixed outputs from 0.4V–5.5V), and uses SmartConfig™ on MODE/S-CONF to configure switching frequency, discharge behavior, and operating mode during startup - all without requiring external compensation components.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS62901RPJR is housed in a 9-pin VQFN-HR (RPJ) package measuring 1.50mm × 2.00mm with 0.5mm pitch. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - PG | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals VOUT regulation status; requires external pullup; used for rail sequencing in multi-voltage systems. |
| 2 - SW | Switch node | Connects internal HS/LS FETs to external inductor; critical for EMI layout and thermal path. |
| 3 - VOS | Output voltage sense | Direct connection to output capacitor positive terminal enables accurate remote sensing and eliminates FB trace errors. |
| 4 - GND | Power ground | Must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane; shares thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| 5 - EN | Enable input | Precise threshold (0.9–1.03V) allows RC-delayed startup or undervoltage lockout via resistor divider. |
| 6 - VIN | Input supply | Requires local 3–10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| 7 - MODE/S-CONF | SmartConfig™ configuration | Determines switching frequency, FB/VSET mode, discharge enable, and PFM/PWM behavior via resistor or logic level. |
| 8 - SS/TR | Soft-start/tracking | External capacitor sets ramp time; also accepts external voltage for synchronized power-up with master rail. |
| 9 - FB/VSET | Feedback or voltage set | Configurable as FB input (external divider) or VSET pin (resistor-to-GND for 16 fixed outputs). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control™ topology | Enables <100µs load transient response with no external compensation, ideal for dynamic FPGA/core loads. |
| Automatic Efficiency Enhancement (AEE) | Adaptively adjusts switching frequency to maintain >85% efficiency from 10µA to 1A across 3V–17V input range. |
| No external bootstrap capacitor | Reduces BOM count and board area; simplifies layout by eliminating high-side gate-drive support components. |
| 100% duty cycle mode | Allows dropout operation down to VIN – VOUT ≈ 200mV, supporting low-VOUT regulation from near-input voltages. |
| Adjustable active output discharge | Configurable via MODE/S-CONF to rapidly discharge VOUT on shutdown - prevents back-powering of downstream circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62903RPJR | Same RPJ package and pinout; adds integrated 2-A switch with higher RDS(ON) (75mΩ/30mΩ); identical AEE/DCS-Control architecture. | Supports higher output current (2A vs 1A); suitable where future-proofing or margin is required. | Select TPS62903RPJR if >1A load headroom is needed; same layout and firmware integration. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for the TPS62901RPJR?
The TPS62901RPJR has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of 150°C, with thermal shutdown triggered at 170°C and 20°C hysteresis. This enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures and high-ambient industrial environments. The device's RθJA of 97.2°C/W on JEDEC PCB allows sustained 1A output at ambient temperatures up to 75°C with standard 2-layer board layout - verified in TI's TPS6290xEVM-069 reference design.
Does the TPS62901RPJR require an external bootstrap capacitor?
No, the TPS62901RPJR does not require an external bootstrap capacitor. Its integrated gate driver architecture eliminates this component, reducing BOM count, PCB area, and layout complexity. This design choice is confirmed in Section 1 Features and Figure 6-2 of the official datasheet SLVSFS7A, and applies specifically to the TPS62901RPJR variant - unlike many competing buck converters that mandate external bootstrap networks.
How does the MODE/S-CONF pin configure output voltage on the TPS62901RPJR?
The MODE/S-CONF pin on the TPS62901RPJR determines whether FB/VSET operates as a feedback input (external resistor divider) or VSET pin (internal divider with 16 fixed outputs). When configured via resistor (e.g., 7.15kΩ), it selects both VSET option and switching frequency - per Table 6-1 and Table 6-2 in the datasheet. This SmartConfig™ function is exclusive to the TPS62901RPJR and enables single-resistor programming without firmware or additional logic.
What is the purpose of the VOS pin on the TPS62901RPJR?
On the TPS62901RPJR, the VOS (Voltage Output Sense) pin provides Kelvin sensing of the output voltage by connecting directly to the positive terminal of the output capacitor. This eliminates IR drop errors from PCB traces, ensuring ±0.9% regulation accuracy across temperature and load - especially critical in high-precision applications like data converter biasing. VOS is mandatory when using VSET configuration and optional but recommended for FB mode.
Can the TPS62901RPJR operate in 100% duty cycle mode?
Yes, the TPS62901RPJR supports 100% duty cycle operation, allowing VOUT to track VIN minus minimal dropout (≈200mV at light load). This feature is explicitly documented in Section 1 Features and enables use cases such as post-regulation from a closely matched input source or low-dropout operation in battery-powered systems. It is enabled automatically when VOUT approaches VIN, without requiring external control signals.
