Product details
Overview
TDA38807XUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 6 A synchronous buck regulator with Constant On-Time (COT) control, operating from 2.7 V to 16 V input and delivering precision 0.9 V ±0.5% output voltage. It integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs in a QFN-14 package, supports selectable 600 kHz/1.1 MHz/2 MHz switching, and enables voltage tracking via SS/REF pin for multi-rail sequencing in server point-of-load systems.
For engineers reviewing the TDA38807XUMA1 datasheet, TDA38807XUMA1 pinout, TDA38807XUMA1 application, or TDA38807XUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its thermally compensated current limit, pre-bias start-up capability, no-external-compensation design, and programmable soft-start down to 1.5 ms - all critical for stable, fast-transient power delivery in telecom and storage subsystems.
Technical Context
The TDA38807XUMA1 implements a fast Constant On-Time (COT) control architecture that eliminates loop compensation components while achieving sub-10 µs load transient response. Its adaptive on-time generator dynamically adjusts based on input voltage and output voltage feedback to maintain pseudo-constant frequency across line and load variations.
It integrates an internal 3 V LDO for gate driver bias (VCC), supports dual operation modes - Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM) for ripple-sensitive loads and Diode Emulation Mode (DEM) for light-load efficiency - and features valley-current sensing with negative over-current protection (NOCP) and thermal compensation for accurate current limiting across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 6 A continuous; supports full-rated load without external heatsink in typical 2-layer PCB layout with 2 mm × 3 mm QFN footprint. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V–16 V with external VCC bias; 4 V–16 V with internal bias - enables compatibility with 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V intermediate bus architectures. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.9 V ±0.5% (max); sets output accuracy baseline for FB resistor divider - enables ±1% total output regulation including feedback network tolerance. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable: 600 kHz / 1.1 MHz / 2 MHz via MODE pin; higher frequencies allow smaller inductors and output capacitors in space-constrained designs. |
| Soft-Start Time | Programmable ≥1.5 ms via SS/REF capacitor; prevents inrush current during power-up and supports controlled voltage ramping in tracked multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Latch-off at Tj ≥ 150 °C; combined with thermally compensated OCP ensures safe operation under sustained overload or poor airflow conditions. |
| Protection Features | Latch-off OCP, UVP, OVP, and thermal shutdown; open-drain PGOOD with 1 ms delay confirms regulation before system enable. |
Pinout & Package
Package: QFN-14 (2 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), wettable flank, lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant. Exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) required for thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 14 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for power stage; must be connected directly to exposed thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane. |
| 2, 11 SW | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; swings between VIN and ~−0.3 V; requires short, wide trace to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| 3 VIN | Main Input Supply | Primary power input for integrated FETs; decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to VIN–PGND. |
| 4 CS | Current Sense Input | Connects to AGND via sense resistor; sets OCP threshold (e.g., 10 mΩ = 6 A trip); includes internal thermal compensation. |
| 5 EN | Enable Control | Analog input with internal 2.8 V threshold; pull-up to VIN enables automatic start-up; supports voltage monitoring for brown-out detection. |
| 6 FB | Feedback Input | Resistor divider tap point for output voltage regulation; feedforward capacitor (CFF) improves transient response. |
| 7 AGND | Analog Ground | Signal reference for control circuitry; must connect to PGND at single-point star ground to avoid noise coupling. |
| 8 SS/REF | Soft-Start / Tracking Reference | Capacitor sets soft-start time; external voltage applied here enables precise output voltage tracking of another rail. |
| 9 PGOOD | Power Good Output | Open-drain signal pulled high when FB ≥ 92.5% of 0.9 V; 1 ms delay ensures stable regulation before assertion. |
| 10 BST | Bootstrap Supply | Connected to SW via 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| 12 MODE | Operation Mode Select | Resistor-programmed pin selecting FCCM/DEM and switching frequency (600 kHz/1.1 MHz/2 MHz). |
| 13 VCC | Internal LDO Output | 3 V regulated supply for logic and drivers; requires ≥2.2 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No External Compensation Required | COT control architecture eliminates need for type-II/type-III compensation networks - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Pre-Bias Start-Up Support | Allows safe startup into pre-charged output capacitors without reverse current flow - essential for hot-swap and redundant power systems. |
| Voltage Tracking Capability | SS/REF pin accepts external reference (e.g., from another regulator) to synchronize ramp-up timing and prevent back-feeding in multi-rail FPGA or ASIC supplies. |
| Thermally Compensated Current Limit | OCP threshold scales inversely with junction temperature - maintains consistent current protection across −40 °C to +125 °C operating range. |
| Enhanced Light-Load Efficiency | Diode Emulation Mode (DEM) disables low-side FET during discontinuous conduction, eliminating reverse recovery losses and improving efficiency below ~10% load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z (Monolithic Power) | 4 A rated, fixed 500 kHz frequency, no voltage tracking or pre-bias start-up; requires external compensation. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-current embedded applications where sequencing and transient speed are non-critical. | Select if output current ≤4 A and design prioritizes lowest BOM cost over advanced sequencing or transient performance. |
| TPS546B24RVFT (Texas Instruments) | 6 A, PMBus-enabled, 400 kHz–2.2 MHz adjustable frequency, supports AVS and telemetry; larger 4 mm × 4 mm QFN-24 package. | Targeted at programmable power systems requiring real-time margining, fault logging, and digital configuration. | Select if system-level digital control, telemetry, or adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) is required - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS546B24RVFT, the TDA38807XUMA1 uniquely balances analog simplicity (no compensation), high transient performance (COT), and analog sequencing features (tracking, pre-bias) in a minimal 2 mm × 3 mm footprint - ideal for space-constrained industrial and communications POL designs where digital overhead is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation?
The TDA38807XUMA1 is stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥22 µF total (e.g., three 10 µF X5R 0603s in parallel). Lower values may cause instability in DEM mode; use ≥47 µF for FCCM operation with 2 MHz switching to maintain <10 mVpp ripple under full load.
Can the TDA38807XUMA1 operate without an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. The BST pin requires a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor connected between BST and SW to generate the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. Omitting this capacitor prevents high-side FET turn-on and causes immediate regulator failure or no output voltage.
How does the MODE pin configure switching frequency and operation mode?
The MODE pin uses resistor dividers to set three discrete voltage thresholds: 0.4 V selects 600 kHz + DEM, 1.25 V selects 1.1 MHz + FCCM, and 2.0 V selects 2 MHz + FCCM. Resistor tolerances must be ≤1% to ensure reliable mode selection across temperature and process variation.
Is the SS/REF pin required for basic operation?
No. SS/REF is optional: leaving it open defaults to internal 0.9 V reference and minimum 1.5 ms soft-start. However, connecting an external reference (e.g., from another regulator) enables precise voltage tracking - critical for FPGA core/I/O rail sequencing and preventing latch-up during power-up.
