5 Description (continued)
To further assist users in the strict management of their energy budgets, the TPS6273x toggles the input power-
good indicator to signal an attached microprocessor when the voltage on the input supply has dropped below a
preset critical level. This signal is intended to trigger the reduction of load currents to prevent the system from
entering an undervoltage condition. In addition, independent enable signals allow the system to control whether
the converter is regulating the output, monitoring only the input voltage, or to shut down in an ultra-low quiescent
sleep state.
The input power-good threshold and output regulator levels are programmed independently through external
resistors.
All the capabilities of TPS6273x are packed into a small footprint 14-lead 3.5-mm × 3.5-mm QFN package
(RGY).
(1) The RGY package is available in tape on reel. Add R suffix to order quantities of 3000 parts per reel, T suffix for 250 parts per reel.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute–maximum–rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltage values are with respect to VSS/ground terminal
(1) JEDEC document JEP155 states that 500-V HBM allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control process.
(2) JEDEC document JEP157 states that 250-V CDM allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control process.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TPS6273x family provides a highly integrated ultra low power buck converter solution that is well suited for
meeting the special needs of ultra-low power applications such as energy harvesting. The TPS6273x provides
the system with an externally programmable regulated supply in order to preserve the overall efficiency of the
power-management stage compared to a linear step down converter. This regulator is intended to step-down the
voltage from an energy storage element such as a battery or super capacitor in order to supply the rail to low-
voltage electronics. The regulated output has been optimized to provide high efficiency across low-output
currents (<10 µA) to high currents (200 mA).
The TPS6273x integrates an optimized hysteretic controller for low-power applications. The internal circuitry uses
a time-based sampling system to reduce the average quiescent current.

12 Layout
In order to maximize efficiency at light load, the use of voltage level setting resistors > 1 MΩ is recommended.
However, during board assembly, contaminants such as solder flux and even some board cleaning agents can
leave residue that may form parasitic resistors across the physical resistors and/or from one end of a resistor to
ground, especially in humid, fast airflow environments. This can result in the voltage regulation and threshold
levels changing significantly from those expected per the installed resistor values. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that no ground planes be poured near the voltage setting resistors. In addition, the boards must
be carefully cleaned, possibly rotated at least once during cleaning, and then rinsed with de-ionized water until
the ionic contamination of that water is well above 50 MΩ. If this is not feasible, then it is recommended that the
sum of the voltage setting resistors be reduced to at least 5 times below the measured ionic contamination.
