TPS62086: Question about TPS62826DMQ recommendation instead of TPS62086

Part Number: TPS62086
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS628303, TPS62865

Tool/software:

You wrote on your site that you recommend the newer TPS62826DMQ instead of TPS62086. Can I learn the end of life status of TPS62086? You recommend it because it is new, but it does not have a fixed 3.3v 3a output, what do you recommend? What is the advantage of TPS62826DMQ? Why do you recommend it?

  • Hi,

    These are all newer devices of the same type of device--a standard 3A buck converter.  And today, we have an even newer one TPS628303.  There are no plans to EOL the existing devices, and they are fine to reuse if you are already using them.

    For new designs, we do recommend using the newest device.  With the newest device, you get all the benefits and advancements in design and performance.  You can see several advantages of each device over the previous one: lower Rdson, smaller package, more features, lower FB pin, usually lower price, etc. 

    There is no fixed 3.3Vout version of these newer devices--how important is that for your application?  If you need a fixed 3.3V, you might look at the R2D converter in the 4A TPS62865.

    Thanks,

    Chris
