Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the TPS62044DRCRG4 is determined by the following critical parameters:
- Fixed output voltage of 1.8V
- Output current capability of 1.2A or greater
- Input voltage range compatibility (minimum 2.5V, maximum 6V)
- Buck topology with synchronous rectification
- Surface mount packaging in 10-pin VFDFN form factor
- Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C or wider
- ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
The ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 from Analog Devices meets these substitution criteria with compatible electrical specifications and enhanced performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TPS62044DRCRG4. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements for current production. The ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 offers active product status with extended availability, higher output current capability (1.25A versus 1.2A), and an expanded operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). The input voltage range of the ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 extends to a lower minimum of 2.3V, providing additional design flexibility. Both devices share identical 10-VFDFN exposed pad packaging and fixed 1.8V output voltage, enabling direct PCB-level substitution without layout modifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 replace the TPS62044DRCRG4 in existing designs?
A: Yes. Both devices feature identical 1.8V fixed output voltage, 10-VFDFN exposed pad packaging, and synchronous buck topology. The ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 provides equal or superior electrical performance with higher output current (1.25A) and wider operating temperature range.
Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?
A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Texas Instruments versus Analog Devices), product status (obsolete versus active), output current rating (1.2A versus 1.25A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 125°C), and input voltage minimum (2.5V versus 2.3V). All differences favor the substitute part.
Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns?
A: No. Both parts use the 10-VFDFN exposed pad package with identical footprint dimensions (3x3mm). PCB layout and component placement require no modification.
Q: Does the ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 meet the same compliance standards?
A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.
Q: What is the significance of the different switching frequencies (1.25MHz versus 1.2MHz)?
A: The 50kHz difference is negligible for most applications. Both frequencies fall within the same operational band and produce comparable electromagnetic interference characteristics and component sizing requirements.
Q: Is the lower input voltage minimum of the ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 (2.3V) a concern?
A: No. The lower minimum expands design flexibility. If your application requires a 2.5V minimum input, the ADP2120ACPZ-1.8-R7 remains fully compatible and functional.
