Product details
Overview
TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 from Infineon is a 2.8 MHz synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator for automotive systems, delivering up to 2 A output current with adjustable 3.0–10.0 V output voltage, ±1.5% feedback accuracy in PWM mode, and integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs. It supports battery cranking (3.7–35 V input), 100% duty cycle operation, and operates across -40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 datasheet, TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 pinout, TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 application, or TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, PFM light-load efficiency, and reset monitoring capability for safety-critical ADAS and infotainment power rails.
Technical Context
This buck regulator uses peak-current-mode PWM control with selectable switching frequency bands (320–560 kHz or 1.6–2.8 MHz), synchronized via external clock on SYNC pin and modulated via spread-spectrum on SSON. The internal compensation network eliminates external type-II compensation components.
It integrates undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring on FB, overcurrent/overload protection with hiccup-mode recovery, thermal shutdown, and active output discharge during disable. Reset functionality is configurable via RT resistor for delay and threshold, with open-drain RO output.

Pinout & Package
Delivered in PG-TSDSO-14 exposed-pad package with thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation in high-power automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FREQ | Frequency selection input | Resistor-to-GND sets low-band (320–560 kHz) or open/high-band (1.6–2.8 MHz); avoids external oscillator component |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 320 kHz–2.8 MHz CMOS clock; enables multi-rail phase interleaving to reduce input ripple |
| RO | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when FB falls below threshold; requires external pull-up for system-level reset signaling |
| EN | Enable control with internal pull-down | Active-high logic; simplifies power sequencing without external biasing circuitry |
| FB | Feedback voltage sensing node | Monitors output via resistor divider; enables precise regulation and UV/OV fault detection |
| RT | Reset timing/threshold configuration | Resistor-to-GND sets reset delay (1–200 ms) and undervoltage threshold (2.7–9.5 V) |
| SW | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; dual-pin layout (10+11) reduces parasitic inductance and improves EMI |
| VS | Main supply input | Dual-pin (6+7) connection lowers impedance path for high di/dt currents during load transients |
| PGND | Power ground return | Dual-pin (8+9) with exposed pad grounding minimizes ground bounce and thermal resistance |
| AGND | Analog reference ground | Separate analog ground pin isolates sensitive feedback and oscillator circuits from noisy power paths |
| SSON | Spread-spectrum enable | Active-high signal activates dithering to lower peak EMI emissions by >10 dB in conducted tests |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stages | High-side and low-side MOSFETs co-packaged with driver - eliminates discrete FET selection, gate drive design, and layout complexity |
| Soft-Start Ramp Generator | Internal linear ramp limits inrush current - prevents input voltage sag and avoids false resets during power-up |
| Active Output Discharge | Internal NMOS discharges output capacitor when disabled - ensures fast, controlled rail collapse for safe processor shutdown |
| Light-Load PFM Mode | 31 µA quiescent current with automatic transition from PWM - maintains >85% efficiency at 1 mA load for always-on telematics |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Direct pass-through mode when VIN ≤ VOUT - sustains regulated output during deep battery cranking (e.g., 5.5 V → 5.0 V) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4420AGL-A-Z | 40 V max input, 2 A, fixed 3.3 V or 5 V output; no spread spectrum or reset output | Lacks RO/RT pins and AEC-Q100 qualification; suited for non-safety industrial use only | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive designs require simple fixed-output conversion without monitoring features |
| TPS54202HDDCR | 6–18 V input, 2 A, 500 kHz–2.2 MHz sync-capable; no 100% duty cycle or battery cranking support | Not rated for >125°C junction or automotive transients; lacks UVLO hysteresis for cranking | Choose for consumer-grade embedded systems where input stays within nominal 12 V range and thermal stress is low |
Compared with MPQ4420AGL-A-Z and TPS54202HDDCR, TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, 35 V input tolerance, 100% duty cycle, and integrated reset monitoring-making it the only option qualified for direct integration into ASIL-B power domains without additional supervision circuitry.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the RT pin?
The RT pin configures both reset delay time and undervoltage threshold via an external resistor to GND. A 100 kΩ resistor yields ~10 ms delay and 4.75 V reset threshold; values from 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ adjust delay from 1 ms to 200 ms and threshold from 2.7 V to 9.5 V. This eliminates need for external supervisor ICs in most automotive microcontroller power domains.
Does TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 support forced PWM mode?
No-TLS4120D0EPVXUMA1 automatically transitions between PWM and PFM modes based on load current. Below ~200 mA, it enters PFM to minimize quiescent current (31 µA); above that, it operates in constant-frequency PWM. There is no pin or register to force continuous PWM, preserving light-load efficiency without user intervention.
How is thermal performance managed in the PG-TSDSO-14 package?
The PG-TSDSO-14 package features an exposed thermal pad soldered directly to a large PCB copper pour connected to GND. With proper layout (≥4 thermal vias, ≥200 mm² copper area), junction-to-board thermal resistance is 22°C/W, enabling 2 A operation at +105°C ambient without heatsink. The pad must be electrically tied to PGND-not AGND-to avoid noise coupling into feedback.
Can the FREQ pin be left unconnected for default 2.8 MHz operation?
Yes-the FREQ pin defaults to high-band (1.6–2.8 MHz) when left open. No pull-up or pull-down is required. To select low-band (320–560 kHz), connect FREQ to GND via resistor (e.g., 100 kΩ). Leaving it floating ensures maximum switching frequency, minimizing inductor size and improving transient response in space-constrained ADAS modules.
