Product details
Overview
TPS6735IP from Texas Instruments is a fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM inverting DC/DC converter delivering −5 V at up to 200 mA from a 4-V to 6.2-V input. It integrates a 0.4-Ω p-channel MOSFET power switch, 1.22-V reference output (125 µA capable), soft-start control, and enable shutdown with 1-µA quiescent current. It targets board-level negative rail generation in computer peripherals and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6735IP datasheet, TPS6735IP pinout, TPS6735IP application, or TPS6735IP equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting topology, −5-V regulated output, 160-kHz fixed switching frequency, SOIC/PDIP package compatibility, and EN-controlled low-power shutdown mode.
Technical Context
The TPS6735IP implements a current-mode PWM architecture with slope compensation, using an internal 160-kHz oscillator and a high-side p-channel MOSFET with integrated current sensing. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a 1.22-V internal reference, while the COMP pin enables loop stabilization via external RC compensation.
Undervoltage lockout activates below 3.7 V on VCC, and overcurrent protection trips at 2 A peak switch current. The EN input directly controls device enable/disable state, discharging the SS capacitor through a 1.2-MΩ internal resistor during shutdown to ensure controlled output decay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | −5 V ±5% (regulated across 0–200 mA load and 4.5–6.2 V input) |
| Switching frequency | 160 kHz fixed (enables predictable EMI filtering and inductor sizing) |
| Input voltage range | 4 V to 6.2 V (supports single-cell Li-ion or 5-V rail with margin) |
| Max output current | 200 mA continuous (derates above 70°C ambient per DIP package dissipation rating) |
| Quiescent current | 1.9 mA no-load; 1 µA in EN-shutdown (extends battery life in standby) |
| Reference output | 1.22 V ±1%, 125 µA max (supports external biasing without additional LDO) |
| Power switch RDS(on) | 0.4 Ω typical (minimizes conduction loss in inverting buck-boost topology) |
Pinout & Package
TPS6735IP is supplied in an 8-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP-P), JEDEC MS-001 compliant, with 0.300-inch body width and 0.100-inch lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead (NIPDAU) finish, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>2 V) enables operation; logic-low (≤0.4 V) forces shutdown and reduces supply current to ≤1 µA |
| REF (Pin 2) | 1.22-V reference output | Stable voltage source for external circuitry; capable of sourcing up to 125 µA with ≤50 ppm/°C drift |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing node | Capacitor to GND sets startup ramp rate; internally pulled to REF via 1.2-MΩ resistor |
| COMP (Pin 4) | Error amplifier compensation | Connects to GND via 82-pF capacitor (≥100 mA loads) to stabilize feedback loop dynamics |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback sense input | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; referenced to GND, not VCC or OUT |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power and signal ground | Common return path for VCC, REF, SS, COMP, FB, and internal circuits |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Power switch drain | High-current node connecting to external inductor and Schottky rectifier; carries peak currents up to 2 A |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Input supply voltage | Accepts 4–6.2 V; powers internal circuitry and gate driver; UVLO threshold is 3.7 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting DC/DC topology | Generates isolated −5 V output from positive input without transformer; simplifies PCB layout vs. flyback |
| Integrated p-channel MOSFET | 0.4-Ω RDS(on) switch eliminates external high-side driver; gate driven by −5 V output for area efficiency |
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast transient response, and stable operation with wide input/output ratios |
| Enable + soft-start | EN pin allows system-level power sequencing; SS capacitor prevents inrush current and output overshoot |
| 1.22-V precision reference | Low-drift (50 ppm/°C), buffered output supports auxiliary analog functions without extra ICs |
Applications
| Computer Peripherals | Battery-Powered Test Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX735CPA+ | Same 8-pin PDIP package, −5 V output, 200 mA, but uses external N-channel MOSFET and requires bootstrap capacitor | Lacks integrated p-channel switch and REF output; needs more external components | Choose when legacy MAX735 design reuse is required and board space permits added discretes |
| TPS6735ID | Identical electrical specs and pinout, but in 8-pin SOIC (D) package instead of PDIP (P) | SOIC offers smaller footprint and surface-mount assembly; thermal resistance differs (D: 5.8 mW/°C derating) | Prefer for new SMT designs where density and automated assembly outweigh through-hole serviceability |
Compared with MAX735CPA+, TPS6735IP reduces component count via integrated MOSFET and adds a usable 1.22-V reference; compared with TPS6735ID, it retains through-hole manufacturability and higher thermal mass for prototyping or low-volume production.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by the TPS6735IP?
The TPS6735IP delivers up to 200 mA continuously across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to 85°C) when used with recommended external components (10-µH inductor, 100-µF output capacitor, 1N5817 Schottky diode). Peak switch current is limited to 2 A, and maximum load decreases slightly above 70°C ambient due to package power dissipation limits (611 mW at 85°C for PDIP).
Does the TPS6735IP require external compensation components?
Yes, the TPS6735IP requires an 82-pF capacitor between COMP (Pin 4) and GND to stabilize the feedback loop for loads exceeding 100 mA. For lighter loads (≤100 mA), this capacitor is optional. Additional compensation may be needed for specific ESR/ESL conditions, but the base design relies on that single capacitor for stability.
Can the TPS6735IP generate output voltages other than −5 V?
No-the TPS6735IP is a fixed-output inverting converter with internal feedback set for −5 V regulation. It does not support adjustable output via external resistor dividers. For variable outputs, consider TI's TPS6734 or other adjustable inverting controllers-not the TPS6735IP.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the TPS6735IP?
The REF pin on the TPS6735IP provides a buffered 1.22-V reference voltage capable of sourcing up to 125 µA. It is intended for biasing external circuitry such as op-amps, comparators, or ADC references-eliminating the need for a separate voltage reference IC in many designs.
Is the TPS6735IP pin-compatible with the MAX735 series?
Yes-the TPS6735IP is explicitly documented as pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX735 family (e.g., MAX735CPA+), sharing identical 8-pin PDIP pinout, terminal functions (EN, REF, SS, COMP, FB, GND, OUT, VCC), and −5 V output specification. No PCB changes are required when substituting TPS6735IP into existing MAX735 layouts.
