Product details
Overview
TPS6755IP from Texas Instruments is an adjustable inverting DC/DC converter IC with a p-channel MOSFET power switch (0.4 Ω RDS(on)), 160-kHz fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control, and enable-driven shutdown (1 µA standby current). It operates from 2.7 V to 9 V input, delivers up to –5 V at 200 mA output, and supports soft-start via external capacitor. It is used in battery-powered peripherals requiring negative rail generation with high efficiency (78% typical at 100 mA).
For engineers reviewing the TPS6755IP datasheet, TPS6755IP pinout, TPS6755IP application, or TPS6755IP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating limits (–40°C to 85°C), real-world efficiency curves, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for inverting buck-boost replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The TPS6755IP integrates a 160-kHz oscillator, current-sense amplifier (gain = 3), error amplifier with 1.22-V reference, and PWM comparator with slope compensation. Its p-channel MOSFET power switch features integrated current sensing and overcurrent protection (2-A peak limit).
Soft-start is implemented via external SS capacitor charging through a 1.2-MΩ internal resistor, clamping the error amplifier output during startup. The feedback loop uses resistive divider (FB) referenced to REF, stabilized by 82-pF compensation capacitor between COMP and GND for loads >100 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Inverting DC/DC converter - generates negative output voltage from positive input without transformer. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 9 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min), AA/AAA alkaline (2.7 V cutoff), and 5 V/7 V rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | |VO| ≤ 12 V – VCC - e.g., –5 V at VCC = 5 V; adjustable via FB resistive divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 160 kHz fixed - enables compact magnetics (10 µH inductor) and predictable EMI profile. |
| Efficiency | 78% typical at IO = 100 mA - reduces thermal load in space-constrained battery-powered designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.9 mA no-load; 1 µA in shutdown (EN ≤ 0.4 V) - extends battery life during idle periods. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.22 V ±1%, drift ≤50 ppm/°C - stable precision reference for external bias or feedback scaling. |
Pinout & Package
TPS6755IP is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP-P), JEDEC MS-001 compliant, with 0.300-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner when notch faces upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>2 V) enables operation; logic-low (≤0.4 V) disables converter and reduces supply current to ≤10 µA. |
| REF (Pin 2) | 1.22-V reference output | Provides precision voltage reference (125 µA max sink/source) for external circuitry or feedback scaling. |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing node | External capacitor controls ramp rate of current limit during startup; discharged internally during fault or UVLO. |
| COMP (Pin 4) | Compensation node | Connects to ground via 82-pF capacitor to stabilize feedback loop for loads >100 mA. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Resistive divider from output connects here; regulates output by comparing to 1.22-V reference. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power and signal ground | Common return path for VCC, OUT, REF, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Power switch drain | Drain of integrated 0.4-Ω p-channel MOSFET; connects to inductor and Schottky rectifier cathode. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Supply input | Primary power input (2.7–9 V); bypassed externally with 1-µF ceramic + 47-µF bulk capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable inverting topology | Generates user-defined negative output (e.g., –2 V to –9 V) using only two external resistors and standard passives. |
| Integrated 0.4-Ω p-channel MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-side switch; gate driven from output to minimize die area and cost. |
| 160-kHz current-mode PWM | Enables fast transient response and inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting without external sense resistor. |
| 1.22-V precision reference (REF) | Stable 125-µA-capable reference usable for auxiliary biasing or multi-rail sequencing without extra ICs. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces total system quiescent current to ≤1 µA - critical for always-on battery-backed subsystems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX755CPA+ | Pin-for-pin compatible per datasheet; identical 160-kHz frequency, same 0.4-Ω p-MOSFET, but REF = 1.25 V (±2%) vs. 1.22 V (±1%). | Requires resistor recalibration for same output voltage; slightly higher reference drift (100 ppm/°C vs. 50 ppm/°C). | Preferred where legacy MAX755 footprint reuse is mandatory and 1.25 V reference tolerance is acceptable. |
| LM2662CMX/NOPB | Charge-pump topology (no inductor); 100-kHz switching; fixed –VIN output; no REF or EN pins; 125 mA max output. | Suitable only for low-current, low-noise, inductor-free applications; cannot match TPS6755IP's 200 mA capability or adjustable output. | Select when board space prohibits inductors and load current ≤100 mA; avoid for precision or high-current inverting needs. |
Compared with MAX755CPA+, TPS6755IP offers tighter reference accuracy and lower temperature drift, improving output stability across –40°C to 85°C. Against LM2662CMX/NOPB, TPS6755IP delivers 2× output current, adjustable voltage, and superior efficiency in medium-power inverting applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS6755IP?
The TPS6755IP delivers up to 200 mA continuous output current when VCC ≥ 4.5 V, as confirmed in the "Performance Characteristics" table (page 6). At VCC = 2.7 V, maximum load drops to 125 mA. Peak switch current is limited to 2 A for overcurrent protection. Output current depends on input voltage, inductor saturation rating, and thermal management-derated to 175 mA at VCC = 4 V per Figure 10.
Can the TPS6755IP generate a –9 V output?
Yes, the TPS6755IP can generate –9 V output provided VCC ≥ 3.1 V, since |VO| ≤ 12 V – VCC. For example, with VCC = 3.5 V, maximum |VO| = 8.5 V; with VCC = 3.0 V, |VO| ≤ 9 V. Figure 15 shows –9 V achieved using R4 = 75.2 kΩ and R5 = 10.2 kΩ. Ensure external components (inductor, diode, capacitors) are rated for the resulting power dissipation and ripple.
What is the purpose of the SS (soft-start) pin on the TPS6755IP?
The SS pin on the TPS6755IP controls soft-start by accepting an external capacitor that ramps the current limit threshold during power-up. This prevents inrush current and output overshoot. Internally pulled to REF (1.22 V) via 1.2-MΩ resistor, SS voltage rises slowly, gradually increasing allowable switch current. A minimum 10-nF capacitor is required; Figure 13 shows delay vs. capacitance (e.g., 0.1 µF ≈ 70 ms delay at VCC = 5 V).
Does the TPS6755IP require an external Schottky diode?
Yes, the TPS6755IP requires an external Schottky rectifier (e.g., 1N5817) connected between OUT and the output capacitor, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 15. The integrated p-channel MOSFET acts as the high-side switch; the diode provides the return path for inductor current during off-time. A 1-A, 20-V Schottky diode is recommended for full-load operation to minimize conduction loss and reverse recovery noise.
How does the TPS6755IP handle thermal limitations in PDIP package?
The TPS6755IP in PDIP (P) package has a power dissipation rating of 1175 mW at TA ≤ 25°C, derating linearly at 9.4 mW/°C above 25°C. At 70°C ambient, max power drops to 752 mW; at 85°C, to 611 mW. To maintain reliability, ensure adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading, avoid enclosing the device, and verify junction temperature stays ≤150°C using θJA = 106.4°C/W (calculated from 1175 mW / (85 – 25)).
