Product details
Overview
TDA21460 from Infineon Technologies is a 25 V integrated power stage (IPS) designed for high-efficiency CPU/GPU core and DDR memory VR applications in servers and datacom systems. It delivers up to 60 A continuous output current, operates from 4.25 V to 16 V input, supports 0.25–5.5 V output, switches up to 1.5 MHz, and achieves >95% peak efficiency with dual-edge-trim dead time control.
For engineers reviewing the TDA21460 datasheet, TDA21460 pinout, TDA21460 application, or TDA21460 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Kelvin-sense-enabled RDS(on) current reporting accuracy, programmable OCSET threshold, UVLO behavior, deep-sleep IQ (<200 µA), and PQFN 5×6 mm package compatibility with multi-phase VR controllers.
Technical Context
The TDA21460 integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs with a gate driver, current sensing via dedicated Kelvin GND, and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection. Its internal temperature-compensated RDS(on) sensing eliminates need for external DCR networks while maintaining ±3% current reporting accuracy across load and temperature.
It features programmable constant-current limit (OCSET), UVLO with hysteresis, and PS4 deep-sleep mode enabling <200 µA quiescent current. Optimized for 5 V gate drive, it supports high-frequency operation up to 1.5 MHz without sacrificing thermal performance in the 5×6×0.9 mm³ PQFN package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Output Current | 60 A continuous - supports single-phase CPU core rail in dual- or triple-phase server VR designs |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.25 V to 16 V - compatible with 5 V, 12 V intermediate bus architectures |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.25 V to 5.5 V - covers CPU core (0.8–1.3 V), GPU (0.9–1.2 V), and DDR4/5 (1.1–1.8 V) rails |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1.5 MHz - enables smaller output inductors and faster transient response in compact VRMs |
| Peak Efficiency | >95% at 500 kHz, 12 VIN, 1.82 VOUT - includes driver, FET, and inductor losses per five-phase measurement |
| IQ (PS4 Mode) | <200 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby during system idle without disabling VR controller |
| RDS(on) Sensing | Kelvin GND-connected, temperature-compensated - achieves ±3% current reporting accuracy vs. ±8–10% with DCR sensing |
Pinout & Package
Package: PQFN 5×6 mm², 0.45 mm pitch, 0.9 mm height, thermally enhanced overmolded construction with exposed thermal pad (EP).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | High-side MOSFET drain supply | Primary input power connection; requires local 10–22 µF ceramic bulk capacitance |
| VOUT | Power stage output node | Connects directly to output inductor; forms switching node with VIN and PGND |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-inductance return path for high-side and low-side FETs; separate from AGND |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for current sense amplifier and OCSET comparator; must be star-connected to Kelvin GND |
| KGND | Kelvin sense ground | Dedicated low-noise ground for RDS(on) current sensing; routed separately from PGND to avoid IR drop error |
| OCSET | Overcurrent threshold programming | Resistor-programmable current limit; sets cycle-by-cycle trip point independent of temperature drift |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls down to disable stage and enter PS4 deep-sleep mode |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Thermal interface to PCB copper; must be soldered to ≥4 cm² internal ground plane for ≤35 °C/W θJA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-edge-trim dead time | Reduces shoot-through loss and improves peak efficiency by dynamically optimizing high-/low-side overlap timing |
| Kelvin GND current sensing | Enables ±3% current reporting accuracy without DCR network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Programmable OCSET | Allows precise setting of overcurrent threshold (e.g., 65 A ±5%) without requiring controller-level scaling |
| PS4 deep-sleep mode | Reduces total stage IQ to <200 µA while retaining fast wake-up capability for dynamic phase shedding |
| UVLO with hysteresis | Ensures clean startup at 4.25 V with 150 mV hysteresis, preventing oscillation near brown-out thresholds |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA21470 | 70 A rated, identical pinout and feature set; higher RDS(on) on low-side FET increases conduction loss above 50 A | Preferred for single-phase 65–70 A CPU core rails where peak current exceeds TDA21460 rating | Select when full 70 A capability is required and board layout allows same 5×6 mm footprint |
| IR35411 | 60 A rated, same 5×6 mm PQFN but uses DCR current sensing; no Kelvin GND or OCSET pin | Suitable for cost-sensitive telecom VRs where ±8% current accuracy is acceptable and controller handles OCP | Choose only if existing design uses DCR sensing and no upgrade to RDS(on) sensing is planned |
Compared with TDA21470 and IR35411, the TDA21460 uniquely balances 60 A capability with Kelvin-sense accuracy and programmable OCP-making it optimal for next-gen server VRs requiring both precision telemetry and robust fault management in minimal area.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for KGND and PGND separation?
KGND must be routed as a dedicated low-impedance trace directly to the Kelvin sense point at the source of the low-side MOSFET, isolated from PGND by ≥2 mm clearance. A separate AGND plane connects KGND to the OCSET and current sense amplifier inputs. PGND pours should not overlap KGND traces on adjacent layers.
Does TDA21460 support parallel operation for higher current?
Yes - TDA21460 supports current-sharing in paralleled configurations using its accurate RDS(on) current reporting. Matching OCSET resistors and synchronized gate drive signals are required; typical current imbalance is <3% between two stages under 60 A total load.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) under standard JEDEC 2S2P test conditions?
θJA is 35 °C/W when mounted on a 4-layer PCB with 4 cm² internal copper pour connected to the EP pad. With 2 oz. copper and 6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) under EP, θJA improves to 28 °C/W in typical server VR layouts.
Can TDA21460 be used with non-5 V gate drive controllers?
No - TDA21460 is optimized for 5 V gate drive and lacks level-shifting circuitry. Using 3.3 V drive results in incomplete high-side FET turn-on and >15% efficiency loss. Controller outputs must be 5 V logic-compatible with ≥10 mA sink/source capability.
