TPS63036YFGR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The TPS63036YFGR is a Texas Instruments 1.8V to 5.5V input, 3.3V fixed-output, synchronous step-down converter in a compact 6-pin WSON package. It features a highly efficient architecture utilizing a synchronous rectification scheme, achieving up to 95% efficiency at light loads. This efficiency is maintained across a wide load current range, from 10mA to 1A, making it suitable for various power applications. The device incorporates internal soft-start and overcurrent protection, ensuring robust operation and preventing system damage. Its output voltage accuracy is ±2%, crucial for applications requiring stable power delivery. The 2.7µH external inductor requirement minimizes solution size while maintaining efficiency. Typical applications include powering microcontrollers, memory chips, and other low-power peripherals in portable devices, where its small size and high efficiency are advantageous. The enable pin allows for power sequencing and system control, further enhancing its design flexibility. Unlike similar converters, the TPS63036YFGR’s low quiescent current (25µA) is particularly beneficial in battery-powered systems aiming for extended operational life. Its robust protection features combined with its high efficiency make it an ideal choice for space-constrained, power-sensitive designs.
