Typical Applications
TPS63710DRRR is suitable for 6 applications: Op-Amp Negative Rail Generation, High-Performance Telecommunication Systems, GaN/RF Amplifier Bias Supplies, Data Converter (ADC/DAC) Negative Supply, Optical Modules, Audio Signal Chain Negative Rail.
Op-Amp Negative Rail Generation
The TPS63710 is well suited to generating the negative supply rail for precision op-amps and instrumentation front ends. Its filtered reference system suppresses 1/f noise up to approximately 100 kHz, so the negative rail does not inject low-frequency noise into high-gain analog stages. Operating from a 3.1 V to 14 V input, it can derive a -5 V rail directly from a 5 V or 12 V system supply with up to 1 A available depending on the voltage ratio. Fixed-frequency PWM keeps switching artifacts at a predictable frequency that is simple to filter, and synchronous rectification improves efficiency versus diode-based inverters.
Recommended
High-Performance Telecommunication Systems
Telecommunication line cards and RF modules frequently require a clean negative bias rail for amplifiers, modulator drivers, and data converters. The TPS63710 addresses this with its low 1/f noise filtered reference, which TI identifies as a requirement for high-performance telecommunication systems. The 14 V maximum input supports standard -48 V-derived intermediate rails after conditioning, while the -5.5 V output capability covers common analog bias levels. The fixed-frequency PWM topology simplifies EMI filter design around a single known switching frequency, and the enable pin permits controlled power sequencing in multi-rail telecom boards.
Recommended
GaN/RF Amplifier Bias Supplies
GaN RF transistors and RF power amplifiers require stable negative gate bias rails with low noise to prevent unwanted drain current drift and intermodulation. The TPS63710 provides an adjustable negative output down to -5.5 V with low 1/f noise from its CAP-pin filtered reference, helping keep gate bias quiet. Delivering up to 1 A depending on the input-to-output ratio, it covers gate bias plus small-signal rail needs from a single positive supply such as 5 V or 12 V. Integrated soft-start limits inrush so the amplifier powers up safely with drain bias sequencing.
Recommended
Data Converter (ADC/DAC) Negative Supply
High-performance data converters and their analog front ends often require a negative rail that adds minimal noise to the signal chain. The TPS63710's low 1/f noise reference and predictable fixed-frequency PWM ripple allow designers to plan LC filtering with confidence, protecting ADC/DAC dynamic range. Its 1 A capability supports converter cores plus driver amplifiers, and the 3.1 V to 14 V input range permits powering from the same primary rail as the positive regulator, simplifying power tree design. The compact 3 mm x 3 mm WSON fits on dense mixed-signal boards.
Recommended
Optical Modules
Optical transceiver modules need compact negative rails for laser bias and driver circuits where noise directly affects bit error rate. The TPS63710's small 3 mm x 3 mm WSON package fits module form factors, and its low 1/f noise reference helps keep laser bias quiet. Operating down to 3.1 V input, it runs from the module's 3.3 V supply, generating roughly -2 V to -5 V bias rails with load-appropriate current. Fixed-frequency PWM makes the switching spur easy to place away from sensitive receive bandwidths, and synchronous rectification minimizes power loss in thermally constrained modules.
Recommended
Audio Signal Chain Negative Rail
Audio amplifiers and line drivers require negative rails with minimal low-frequency noise to preserve signal-to-noise ratio and avoid audible artifacts. The TPS63710's filtered reference suppresses 1/f noise up to about 100 kHz, overlapping the baseband audio region, making it a strong fit for headphone amplifiers, balanced line drivers, and A/V codecs needing a symmetric supply. With up to 1 A output, it can supply amplifier stages directly; the fixed PWM frequency allows post-regulation or LC filtering without interaction with the audio band. The enable pin supports mute/sleep sequencing in battery-powered audio products.

Design Notes
Solder the exposed thermal pad of the 12-WFDFN package to a grounded copper pour on the PCB; this pad is both the primary heat-removal path and the ground connection. Keep the input capacitor, output capacitor, and power inductor close to the IC to minimize hot-loop area. Per the TI datasheet layout section, separate the quiet AGND/reference routing from the power ground path to preserve the low-noise performance of the filtered reference.
The 1 A output current rating is conditional on the input-to-output voltage ratio; at larger |VOUT| relative to VIN, the available load current falls due to peak switch-current limits. Size the inductor for the peak (inductor ripple plus load) current, not the DC load current, and verify saturation current with margin. Do not omit the CAP-pin filter capacitor - it is essential to the low 1/f noise feature that differentiates this part from ordinary inverters.
Inverting converters operate with the IC ground referenced to the negative output, so verify effective input and output voltage stresses on the capacitors and the IC in your configuration. Estimate junction temperature from total losses (conduction plus switching) using the WSON package thermal resistance with the PCB copper area accounted for; TI's datasheet thermal information section provides theta-JA values for standard JEDEC boards.
