Key Differentiators
- 2.25MHz switching frequency enables small external components (vs TPS62590DRVT)
- Low quiescent current of 15µA (vs TPS62590DRVT)
- Adjustable output voltage from 0.75V to 5.5V (vs TPS62591DRVR)
Design Notes
Place the input capacitor (10µF ceramic) as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins to minimize input ripple and voltage spikes. The output capacitor (22µF ceramic) should be placed near the VOUT and GND pins. Use a solid ground plane and connect the exposed pad to it with multiple vias for thermal and electrical performance. Keep the feedback trace short and away from the switch node to avoid noise coupling.
The TPS62590DRVR's exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper area to dissipate heat effectively. For typical applications with 1A output and 3.3V to 1.8V conversion, power dissipation is about 0.5W, which is manageable with a 1cm² copper area. For higher input-output differentials, increase the copper area or add thermal vias. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is approximately 60°C/W, so ensure the junction temperature stays below 125°C.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 6V. Ensure the feedback resistor divider uses 1% tolerance resistors to maintain output accuracy. The inductor should have a saturation current rating higher than the peak switch current (typically 1.5A). Avoid using inductors with too low a value, as this can cause instability. Also, ensure the EN pin is not left floating; tie it to VIN if not used.
