Product details
Overview
TPS63802DLAR from Texas Instruments is a 2-A synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter in a 10-pin DFN (VSON-HR) package, operating across 1.3 V–5.5 V input and 1.8 V–5.2 V adjustable output. It delivers 2-A continuous output at VIN ≥ 2.3 V / VOUT = 3.3 V, features 11-µA quiescent current, seamless mode transitions (buck/buck-boost/boost), and true shutdown with load disconnect-used in portable POS terminals, IP network cameras, and battery-backed electricity meters.
For engineers reviewing the TPS63802DLAR datasheet, TPS63802DLAR pinout, TPS63802DLAR application, or TPS63802DLAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-switch peak-current-mode architecture, pre-biased start-up capability, integrated overvoltage/overtemperature protection, and compatibility with 0.47-µH inductors and 22-µF output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TPS63802DLAR implements a 4-switch synchronous buck-boost topology with automatic, threshold-defined transitions between buck, buck-boost (3-cycle), and boost modes-ensuring stable regulation without output ripple spikes during mode switching. Its peak-current-mode control loop uses a 500-mV internal reference and measures inductor current via high-side FET sensing in all modes.
It supports forward and reverse current operation, includes programmable PFM/PWM mode selection via MODE pin, and integrates soft-start (224 µs ramp time), power-good (open-drain PG with 95%/90% thresholds), and true shutdown with load isolation-enabling reliable sequencing and fault handling in battery-powered systems.

Pinout & Package
TPS63802DLAR is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin VSON-HR (DFN) package measuring 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm with 0.5-mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. The package supports high-power density layouts and requires solder paste stencil optimization for thermal pad reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable input | Digital logic input (1.1 V threshold); must be terminated-enables precise power-up delay or supply-voltage monitoring via external RC/divider |
| 2 MODE | PFM/PWM mode select | LOW = power-save mode (variable frequency); HIGH = forced PWM (fixed frequency, low ripple); not floating |
| 3 AGND | Analog ground | Reference for FB and internal error amplifier; requires separate low-noise connection from PGND near IC |
| 4 FB | Feedback sensing | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; 500-mV internal reference enables accurate 1.8–5.2 V programming |
| 5 PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting HIGH when VOUT ≥ 95% target; sinks 1 mA; used for rail sequencing and fault signaling |
| 6 VOUT | Power stage output | Main regulated output node; connects to output capacitor and load; requires low-ESR ceramic (≥22 µF) |
| 7 L2 | Inductor connection (buck path) | Connects to one terminal of 0.47-µH inductor; carries bidirectional current in buck and buck-boost modes |
| 8 GND | Power ground | High-current return path for power switches; ties to thermal pad and PCB ground plane for thermal management |
| 9 L1 | Inductor connection (boost path) | Connects to other terminal of same 0.47-µH inductor; carries bidirectional current in boost and buck-boost modes |
| 10 VIN | Input supply | Accepts 1.3–5.5 V; requires ≥4 µF input capacitance; UVLO activates at 1.7 V rising, disables below 1.25 V falling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless 3-mode operation | Automatic, non-toggling transitions between buck, buck-boost (3-cycle), and boost based on VIN/VOUT ratio-minimizes output ripple during input transients |
| Pre-biased output start-up | Starts into existing VOUT voltage without reverse current injection-essential for hot-swap and redundant supply systems |
| True shutdown with load disconnect | Internal switch isolates VOUT from VIN and L1/L2 during EN = LOW-prevents backfeed and enables clean system power-down |
| Reverse current capability | Supports controlled energy transfer from VOUT to VIN (up to –0.9 A avg); enables bidirectional power management in USB PD and battery charging circuits |
| Integrated safety protections | Overvoltage (5.7 V), overtemperature (150 °C), and dual current limits (4 A boost, 3.8 A buck)-eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry |
Applications
| Portable Point-of-Sale Terminals | IP Network Cameras |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS63802DLAR to start up and deliver full 2-A output?
The TPS63802DLAR requires VIN > 1.8 V to initiate start-up, but full 2-A output capability is only guaranteed when VIN ≥ 2.3 V at VOUT = 3.3 V. Below 2.3 V, current capability scales down per the device's current-limit architecture-e.g., at VIN = 2.0 V, maximum output drops to ~1.3 A. This behavior is defined in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Minimum input voltage for full load".
Can TPS63802DLAR start up into a pre-biased output voltage?
Yes, the TPS63802DLAR supports start-up into pre-biased outputs-a critical feature for hot-swap and redundant power systems. During soft-start, it operates in forced PFM mode until the first switching cycle is requested by the feedback loop, preventing reverse current injection. This behavior is confirmed in Section 9.3.5 and Figure 9-4 of the official datasheet SLVSEU9D.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and output ripple in TPS63802DLAR?
When MODE = LOW, the TPS63802DLAR enters power-save mode (PFM), varying switching frequency to maintain >90% efficiency at light loads (<100 mA). When MODE = HIGH, it forces fixed-frequency PWM operation-reducing output ripple by >50% at 2-A load but increasing IQ to ~25 µA. The trade-off is explicitly documented in Section 9.3.3 and Figure 8-1.
What is the recommended output capacitor value and type for stable TPS63802DLAR operation at 5.2-V output?
For VOUT > 2.3 V, the TPS63802DLAR requires a minimum 7-µF effective output capacitance; TI recommends two 22-µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors (44 µF total) placed close to VOUT and GND pins. At 5.2 V, derating for DC bias is essential-use 10-V-rated or higher capacitors to retain ≥7 µF at bias. This guidance appears in Section 8.3 and Figure 10-2 of SLVSEU9D.
Does TPS63802DLAR provide reverse current protection during shutdown?
Yes, the TPS63802DLAR includes true shutdown with active load disconnect: when EN = LOW, internal switches isolate VOUT from VIN, L1, and L2-blocking reverse current flow and reducing shutdown current to 45–600 nA. This is distinct from high-Z disable and is verified in Section 8.5 (ISD parameter) and Section 9.3.10 of the datasheet.
