TPS62060DSGT – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TPS62060DSGT is a Texas Instruments synchronous step-down converter housed in a tiny 6-pin SOT-23 package. It’s designed for applications requiring a highly efficient, low-noise, and compact power solution. Operating from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, it delivers a regulated output current up to 600mA with a switching frequency of 1.2MHz. This high switching frequency allows for the use of smaller, less expensive output capacitors compared to lower-frequency converters._x000D_

The device features a fixed 1.8V output voltage, making it ideal for powering low-voltage microcontrollers, memory chips, and other digital logic. Its internal synchronous rectification significantly improves efficiency, typically exceeding 90% at moderate loads, minimizing power dissipation and extending battery life in portable devices. The device also incorporates features like soft-start and overcurrent protection, enhancing system robustness. Its small size and high efficiency make it a preferred choice for space-constrained applications requiring a reliable and efficient 1.8V power rail, such as wearable electronics, portable medical devices, and battery-powered sensors. The absence of external components, beyond input and output capacitors, simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM cost.
