Fixed 3.3 V rail for moderate-load designs
The TPS62111RSARG4 is a synchronous step-down (buck) converter from Texas Instruments, delivering a fixed 3.3 V output at up to 1.5 A from an input range of 3.1 V to 17 V.
1.5 A output and thermal derating
Rated 1.5 A continuous output, this part covers moderate loads like sensor arrays, MCU core rails, or auxiliary supplies. For a 12 V input to 3.3 V output at 1.5 A, the power dissipation is roughly 1.3 W — budget a 1-inch-square copper pour on the bottom layer with thermal vias to keep the junction below 125°C.
