Product details
Overview
TPS6735IPG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM inverting DC/DC converter delivering −5 V at up to 200 mA from a 4.5–6.2 V input. It integrates a 0.4-Ω p-channel MOSFET power switch, 1.22-V reference output (125 µA drive), and enable-controlled shutdown (1 µA quiescent current). Designed for board-level negative rail generation in computer peripherals and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6735IPG4 datasheet, TPS6735IPG4 pinout, TPS6735IPG4 application, or TPS6735IPG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −5 V inverting topology, 160-kHz fixed switching frequency, soft-start capability via external capacitor, EN logic-level control, and compatibility with standard Schottky rectifiers and low-ESR tantalum output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS6735IPG4 implements a current-mode PWM architecture with a 160-kHz oscillator, slope-compensated current sensing, and an internal 1.22-V bandgap reference. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against REF to regulate output, while the COMP pin enables loop compensation with an 82-pF capacitor for loads >100 mA.
It features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 3.7 V, overcurrent protection tripping at 2 A peak switch current, and soft-start controlled by an external SS capacitor charged through a 1.2-MΩ internal resistor. The EN input disables all internal circuitry except the UVLO comparator, reducing supply current to ≤1 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | −5 V nominal (−4.75 V to −5.25 V across 0–200 mA load and 4.5–6.2 V input) |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 6.2 V - supports single-cell Li-ion or regulated 5-V rails |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous - sufficient for analog front-ends, op-amp biasing, or RS-232 interface ICs |
| Switching Frequency | 160 kHz fixed - enables compact magnetics (10 µH inductor) and predictable EMI profile |
| Efficiency | 78% typical at 100 mA - minimizes thermal load in space-constrained applications |
| Quiescent Current | 1.9 mA no-load / 1 µA in shutdown - extends battery life during idle periods |
| Reference Output | 1.22 V ±1%, 125 µA max - usable as precision bias for external circuitry |
Pinout & Package
TPS6735IPG4 is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package per JEDEC MS-001, with 0.300-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead (NIPDAU) finished and 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 discharges SS capacitor |
| REF (Pin 2) | 1.22-V reference output | Stable voltage source for external biasing; requires 10-µF decoupling to GND for noise immunity |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing node | External capacitor 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 to stabilize feedback loop for loads >100 mA |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Connected to output node to close regulation loop; senses −5 V via external resistive divider |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power and signal ground | Common return path for VCC, REF, SS, COMP, FB, and OUT; must be low-impedance |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Power MOSFET drain | Switching node connected to inductor and Schottky rectifier cathode; carries pulsed current up to 2 A peak |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Supply input | Accepts 4.5–6.2 V; requires local 1-µF ceramic + 47-µF bulk capacitance for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting DC/DC topology | Generates regulated −5 V from positive input without requiring external inverting transformer or charge pump |
| Integrated 0.4-Ω p-channel MOSFET | Reduces external component count and PCB area; eliminates need for external high-side driver |
| 160-kHz current-mode PWM control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable operation across line/load variations |
| Enable (EN) with 1-µA shutdown | Enables system-level power sequencing and ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable equipment |
| Soft-start via SS pin | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot using a single external capacitor (10 nF minimum) |
| 1.22-V reference output | Delivers precision bias for ADC references, sensor excitation, or comparator thresholds without extra ICs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX735CPD+ | Pin-for-pin compatible per datasheet; same −5 V/200 mA output but uses external N-channel MOSFET and requires bootstrap capacitor | Higher external component count; less integrated than TPS6735IPG4 due to discrete switch requirement | Choose when legacy MAXIM footprint reuse is critical and board area is not constrained |
| LM2662CMX/NOPB | Charge-pump inverter (no inductor); delivers −5 V at only 100 mA; 99% efficiency not achievable at full load | Limited to low-current, low-noise applications where magnetic components must be avoided | Choose only for ultra-low EMI environments or space-limited designs where inductors are prohibited |
Compared with MAX735CPD+ and LM2662CMX/NOPB, the TPS6735IPG4 offers superior integration (integrated p-channel MOSFET), higher output current capability (200 mA vs. 100 mA), and better efficiency under moderate load-making it optimal for industrial and medical applications demanding reliability and compactness.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS6735IPG4?
The TPS6735IPG4 delivers up to 200 mA continuously at −5 V output across its full input range (4.5 V to 6.2 V) and operating temperature (−40°C to 85°C). Peak switch current is limited to 2 A, and performance is verified per Figure 10 in the SLVS141A datasheet. Derating applies above 70°C ambient per the dissipation rating table.
Does the TPS6735IPG4 require external compensation components?
Yes-the TPS6735IPG4 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 if output capacitance or ESR deviates significantly from the recommended 100-µF/100-mΩ specification.
Can the TPS6735IPG4 generate output voltages other than −5 V?
No-the TPS6735IPG4 is a fixed-output inverting converter optimized exclusively for −5 V regulation. Its internal feedback divider and reference architecture are trimmed for that specific output. To generate other negative voltages, use adjustable alternatives like the TPS6734 or external resistor networks with compatible controllers.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the TPS6735IPG4?
The REF pin (Pin 2) provides a buffered 1.22-V precision reference voltage capable of sourcing up to 125 µA. It is intended for external biasing of analog circuitry such as ADC references, sensor excitation, or comparator thresholds-and requires a 10-µF capacitor to GND for noise suppression per the datasheet recommendation.
Is the TPS6735IPG4 pin-compatible with the MAX735 series?
Yes-the TPS6735IPG4 is explicitly documented as pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX735 family (e.g., MAX735CPD+) in the SLVS141A datasheet. This allows direct replacement in existing designs, though note differences in internal architecture: TPS6735IPG4 integrates the power MOSFET, while MAX735 requires an external switch and bootstrap capacitor.
