TPS62873-Q1: Adjusting output voltage

José Meira

Part Number: TPS62873-Q1

Hi,

I was thinking of using the TP62873-Q1 as a 1.8V regulator, however I won't have I2C available in my design. Since there aren't any TPS6287xY2-Q1 available yet I'd need to adjust the output voltage as in your Adjusting the Output Voltage of a Fixed Output Voltage DC-DC Converter application note.

My concern here is this would mean a 80% output increase from a VSEL value of 1.0V, which is a lot compared to the recommended 20%. Would it be possible to get 1.8V as an output with this approach or should I go with another option?

Thanks

Hello Jose,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

There's also a non-I2C version of this device (see table below). It seems TPS62872N2QWRXSRQ1 (Vout = 1.0V) fits your requirements. VSEL pin just need to tied to GND via 6.2kohm.

Let me know your thoughts.

Best regards,

Excel

Hi Excel, thanks for your answer.

The TPS62872N2QWRXSRQ1 would indeed be the ideal choice for 1.8V output, but from what I gathered the part is still not available.

My strategy was then to follow this application note Adjusting the Output Voltage of a Fixed Output Voltage DC-DC Converter, by setting the Vout in VSEL for 1V and then forcing it to 1.8V, but I am concerned the voltage increase is too large.

Can you check if 1) the TPS62872N2QWRXSRQ1 is indeed available and if it is not 2) can I follow the application note to get a 1.8V output?

Thanks

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the quick response.

TPS62872N2QWRXSRQ1 will not be released soon. I think you can consider TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 (12A) or TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 (6A) which have both 1.8V output. No need for external FB divider resistors.

What do you think?

Best regards,

Excel

The 12A option (TPS62872Y2) would be enough, but I also didn't find any evidence of the part being released yet. Can you please confirm it is already available?
