Product details
Overview
TDA38813XUMA1 from Infineon is a 12 A synchronous buck regulator with fast Constant On-Time (COT) control, 4–16 V input range (2.7 V with external VCC), 0.9 V ±0.5% reference, and QFN-21 (3 mm × 4 mm) package. It delivers high efficiency in server point-of-load applications requiring tight regulation, fast transient response, and programmable soft-start (≥1.5 ms).
For engineers reviewing the TDA38813XUMA1 datasheet, TDA38813XUMA1 pinout, TDA38813XUMA1 application, or TDA38813XUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its selectable switching frequency (600/800/1000 kHz), thermally compensated overcurrent protection, voltage tracking capability via SS/VREF, and support for both FCCM and diode emulation modes.
Technical Context
The TDA38813XUMA1 implements a fast COT control architecture that eliminates external compensation while maintaining stable operation with ceramic output capacitors. Its adaptive on-time generator enables pseudo-constant frequency behavior across line and load variations, achieving <10 µs load transient recovery under 50% step load change.
It integrates dual-mode operation-FCCM for low-noise continuous conduction and DEM for light-load efficiency-with mode selection via the MODE pin. The internal 3 V LDO powers gate drivers and logic, and the CS pin supports precise current limit programming using an external resistor tied to AGND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 12 A continuous; supports full-rated load without derating up to Tj = 105 °C in typical PCB layout. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4–16 V with internal bias; extends to 2.7–16 V when external 3.3 V applied to VCC pin. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.9 V ±0.5%; enables accurate output setting (e.g., 1.2 V via 1:1/3 divider) with minimal drift over temperature. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 600 / 800 / 1000 kHz; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase switching loss. |
| Soft-Start Time | Programmable ≥1.5 ms via capacitor on SS/VREF; prevents inrush current during power-up. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Latch-off at Tj ≥ 150 °C; ensures safe shutdown during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Protection Features | Latch-off OCP, UVP, OVP, and thermal shutdown; pre-bias start-up avoids output voltage collapse on powered rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: QFN-21, 3 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected). RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST (Pin 1) | Floating supply for high-side driver | Requires ceramic bootstrap capacitor between BST and SW to sustain gate drive above VIN during HS-FET conduction. |
| CS (Pin 3) | Current sense input | Connects to AGND via precision resistor; sets overcurrent trip threshold with internal thermal compensation. |
| MODE (Pin 4) | Operating mode select | Voltage-programmed pin selecting CCM/DEM and switching frequency (600/800/1000 kHz). |
| SS/VREF (Pin 5) | Soft-start timing & external reference | Capacitor value sets soft-start duration; also accepts external voltage for output tracking applications. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Feedback node | High-impedance input for resistor divider; requires feedforward capacitor (CFF) to FB for optimal transient response. |
| EN (Pin 8) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; internal 2.8 V threshold with hysteresis; supports sequencing via resistive divider from VIN. |
| PGOOD (Pin 9) | Power-good status | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within ±8% of target; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| VIN (Pins 10, 21) | Main power input | Dual pins reduce IR drop and improve current sharing; must be decoupled near PGND with low-ESR ceramics. |
| PGND (Pins 11–18) | Power ground return | Eight dedicated pins minimize ground impedance; must connect directly to thermal pad and input/output capacitor grounds. |
| VCC (Pin 19) | Internal LDO output | 3 V regulated supply for control circuitry; requires ≥1 µF X7R/X5R ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| SW (Pin 20) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; high dV/dt node requiring minimized loop area and guard ring for EMI control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external compensation required | Enables stable operation with any ceramic output capacitor ≥22 µF; eliminates tuning effort and component count. |
| Programmable soft-start time | Minimum 1.5 ms set by SS/VREF capacitor; prevents inrush into pre-biased outputs and reduces stress on input capacitors. |
| Voltage tracking capability | SS/VREF accepts external reference (e.g., from upstream rail); allows coordinated ramp-up in multi-rail systems like CPU core/memory domains. |
| Thermally compensated current limit | CS pin current threshold adjusts with junction temperature to maintain consistent OCP trip across -40 °C to 125 °C. |
| Pre-bias start-up support | Allows safe startup into pre-charged output without reverse current flow or output collapse. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2964GQ-Z (Monolithic Power) | 12 A rating, 4.5–18 V input, fixed 600 kHz fSW, no external VCC option, no voltage tracking. | Lacks SS/VREF tracking and external VCC flexibility; simpler enable/power-good interface. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs multi-rail coordination needs and input range stays >4.5 V. |
| TPS546D24ARVFT (TI) | 15 A rating, 4–18 V input, PMBus interface, digital loop compensation, 400–2000 kHz programmable fSW. | Supports telemetry, margining, and fault logging; requires firmware integration and additional PMBus components. | Chosen when system-level monitoring, dynamic reconfiguration, or compliance with IPC-9592B is mandatory. |
Compared with MP2964GQ-Z, the TDA38813XUMA1 offers wider input flexibility and voltage tracking but lacks digital interface; versus TPS546D24ARVFT, it trades telemetry for lower BOM count and faster analog transient response in fixed-function PoL designs.

FAQ
What input voltage configurations does the TDA38813XUMA1 support?
The TDA38813XUMA1 operates from 4 V to 16 V using internal bias, or extends down to 2.7 V when an external 3.3 V supply is applied to the VCC pin. This dual-input capability enables compatibility with diverse intermediate bus architectures, including 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V distribution networks common in telecom and server platforms.
How is overcurrent protection configured and how does thermal compensation work?
OCP is set by a resistor from CS pin to AGND, with trip threshold scaling linearly with resistance value. Internal thermal compensation adjusts the current limit downward as junction temperature rises, maintaining consistent fault protection across -40 °C to 125 °C without external calibration or lookup tables.
Can the TDA38813XUMA1 safely start into a pre-biased output?
Yes - the TDA38813XUMA1 includes dedicated pre-bias start-up circuitry that disables the high-side FET until the feedback voltage reaches regulation, preventing reverse current flow and output voltage collapse. This feature is enabled by default and requires no external configuration.
What layout considerations are critical for thermal performance?
Maximizing thermal performance requires soldering the exposed thermal pad (under the QFN-21 body) to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour connected to ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground planes. VIN, PGND, and SW traces must be wide and short, and the BST capacitor must be placed adjacent to the BST/SW pins with minimal loop area.
