Product details
Overview
TPS28225DRBT from Texas Instruments is a high-frequency dual N-channel MOSFET gate driver with adaptive dead-time control, 4 A sink/2 A source lower gate drive, 14 ns propagation delay, and 10 ns rise/fall times-designed for synchronous buck converters operating up to 2 MHz in multi-phase VRMs and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS28225DRBT datasheet, TPS28225DRBT pinout, TPS28225DRBT application, or TPS28225DRBT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3-state PWM input compatibility, integrated bootstrap diode, 0.4 Ω LGATE sink resistance for dV/dt shoot-through prevention, EN/PG dual-function pin, and thermal shutdown with 150°C trip point.
Technical Context
The TPS28225DRBT implements adaptive dead-time control via internal sensing of UGATE and LGATE transitions, ensuring non-overlapping drive signals across full duty cycle range. Its 3-state PWM input circuit uses self-adjusting thresholds (1.0 V fixed low, amplitude-dependent high) with 250 ns hold-off time to force both outputs low during high-impedance controller states.
It integrates a 1.0 V forward-drop bootstrap diode (100 mA), UVLO with 3.5 V rising/3.0 V falling threshold and 0.5 V hysteresis, and a bidirectional EN/PG pin with 1 kΩ series resistance and internal 1 MΩ pull-down-enabling power-good signaling and system-level fault coordination without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 4.5 V to 8 V - sets optimal gate drive voltage for efficiency; 7–8 V delivers best FET switching performance |
| LGATE Sink Current | 4 A - enables fast turn-off of high-capacitance low-side N-MOSFETs in high-current phases |
| Propagation Delay | 14 ns - supports stable 2 MHz switching with tight timing margins in multi-phase DC/DC converters |
| Dead Time | 14 ns - adaptive, non-overlapping timing prevents shoot-through even at extreme duty cycles |
| LGATE Sink RDS(on) | 0.4 Ω - actively clamps low-side gate below threshold during high dV/dt phase-node transitions |
| PWM Input Range | 2.0 V to 13.2 V - interoperable with analog controllers, digital PMBus ICs, and logic-level sources |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C rising / 140°C falling - protects against sustained overload while allowing brief peak operation |
Pinout & Package
TPS28225DRBT is housed in a thermally enhanced 3 mm × 3 mm VSON-8 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 9), requiring direct solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| UGATE (1) | Upper gate driver output | Drives high-side N-MOSFET gate; sourced/sunk by internal P/N-FET pair with 2 A capability each |
| BOOT (2) | Floating bootstrap supply | Connects to bootstrap capacitor (BOOT–PHASE); powers UGATE driver during high-side conduction |
| PWM (3) | 3-state PWM control input | Accepts 2–13.2 V pulses; enters shutdown if held in 1.0–2.0 V window ≥250 ns |
| GND (4) | Power and signal reference | Common return for all currents; thermal pad must be connected to GND for RθJA = 50.2°C/W |
| LGATE (5) | Lower gate driver output | Sinks 4 A / sources 2 A; 0.4 Ω sink RDS(on) prevents shoot-through at fast phase-node transitions |
| VDD (6) | Bias supply input | 4.5–8 V input powering internal logic and gate drivers; UVLO active below 3.0 V |
| EN/PG (7) | Enable / Power-Good I/O | 1 MΩ internal pull-down disables driver if open; pulled low by internal FET during UVLO or thermal fault |
| PHASE (8) | Half-bridge switch node | Return path for UGATE driver; connects to source of high-side MOSFET and drain of low-side MOSFET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive dead-time control | 14 ns minimum enforced gap between UGATE off and LGATE on (and vice versa), eliminating need for external timing resistors |
| Integrated bootstrap diode | 1.0 V forward drop at 100 mA enables rapid bootstrap capacitor recharge at 2 MHz, removing external diode requirement |
| 3-state PWM input | Self-adjusting thresholds (1.0 V low, ~75% of PWM amplitude high) allow reliable shutdown across 2–13.2 V controller outputs |
| Dual-function EN/PG pin | Enables system-level coordination: driver asserts low PG signal during UVLO or thermal fault, and accepts enable from controller |
| Low-side sink RDS(on) | 0.4 Ω ensures LGATE remains <1 V during high dV/dt events, preventing unintended high-side turn-on via Miller coupling |
Applications
| Multi-Phase VRM for Server CPUs | Desktop Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual N-channel gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5113SDX/NOPB | Higher 1.5 A UGATE/LGATE source, no integrated bootstrap diode, 12 V max VDD, 20 ns propagation delay | Requires external bootstrap diode; better suited for industrial 12 V bias systems with less aggressive timing demands | Select when higher source current is needed and board space allows external diode; not drop-in due to missing bootstrap diode and slower timing |
| UCC27211DRCR | 4 A sink/4 A source, no 3-state input, no EN/PG pin, 16 ns propagation delay, 5–16 V VDD range | Lacks 3-state shutdown and power-good signaling; requires separate enable logic and fault monitoring | Choose for high-source-current applications where 3-state control is handled externally; not compatible for systems relying on TPS28225DRBT's integrated EN/PG coordination |
Compared with LM5113SDX/NOPB and UCC27211DRCR, the TPS28225DRBT uniquely combines 3-state PWM compatibility, integrated bootstrap diode, and bidirectional EN/PG functionality-reducing component count and enabling coordinated fault response in compact, high-frequency VRMs without external timing or protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the TPS28225DRBT?
The TPS28225DRBT supports up to 2 MHz operation, enabled by its 14 ns propagation delay, 10 ns rise/fall times, and adaptive 14 ns dead-time control-ensuring reliable non-overlapping drive signals and minimal switching losses at high frequencies in multi-phase DC/DC converters.
Does the TPS28225DRBT require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the TPS28225DRBT integrates a low-forward-voltage (1.0 V at 100 mA) bootstrap diode, eliminating the need for an external diode and simplifying layout in half-bridge configurations-particularly beneficial in space-constrained VRM and notebook power designs.
How does the 3-state PWM input function on the TPS28225DRBT?
The TPS28225DRBT's 3-state PWM input detects high-impedance controller states: if the PWM pin voltage remains within the self-adjusting 1.0–2.0 V window for ≥250 ns, both UGATE and LGATE are forced low, disabling the power stage-critical for safe shutdown in digital multi-phase controllers with 3-state outputs.
What is the purpose of the EN/PG pin on the TPS28225DRBT?
The EN/PG pin on the TPS28225DRBT serves dual roles: applying >2.1 V enables the driver, while the device pulls the pin low during UVLO or thermal shutdown to signal fault condition to the system controller-enabling coordinated power sequencing and fault recovery without additional monitoring circuitry.
What thermal management is required for the TPS28225DRBT in the DRB package?
The TPS28225DRBT in the VSON-8 (DRB) package requires the exposed thermal pad (pin 9) to be soldered directly to a solid PCB ground plane with multiple thermal vias-achieving RθJA = 50.2°C/W and enabling continuous 4 A sink operation at 125°C junction temperature without derating.
