Product details
Overview
TPS2835D from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, inverting-input MOSFET driver IC designed for synchronous-buck power stages. It delivers 2.4-A typical peak output current per channel, supports 4.5-V to 15-V supply voltage, features adaptive dead-time control and internal Schottky bootstrap diode, and operates across −40°C to 125°C junction temperature - ideal for high-current DC/DC converters in telecom and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2835D datasheet, TPS2835D pinout, TPS2835D application, or TPS2835D equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting input logic, CROWBAR overvoltage protection function, TTL-compatible digital controls (ENABLE/SYNC/CROWBAR), and SOIC-14 package with thermal pad compatibility for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
The TPS2835D integrates independent high-side and low-side drivers with adaptive dead-time circuitry that monitors the DT terminal connected to the power FET junction, preventing shoot-through by enforcing non-overlapping gate drive timing. Its inverting input architecture means the HIGHDR output is active-low relative to IN, while LOWDR is active-high - critical for proper phase alignment in buck topologies using external PWM controllers.
It implements three dedicated control functions: ENABLE disables both outputs when low; SYNC configures synchronous (high) or nonsynchronous (low) operation by enabling/disabling the low-side driver; and CROWBAR overrides normal logic to force LOWDR high during overvoltage events, clamping the output via the low-side FET regardless of IN or ENABLE state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 15 V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom DC/DC rails without external regulation. |
| Peak Output Current | 2.4 A typical (high-side), 3.5 A typical (low-side) - drives low-rDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs in high-current (>3 A) buck stages. |
| Rise/Fall Time | ≤50 ns (HIGHDR), ≤30 ns (LOWDR) with 3.3-nF load - enables >1 MHz switching in compact, high-efficiency designs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C virtual junction - validated for under-hood automotive auxiliary supplies and industrial motor control power stages. |
| Input Logic Type | Inverting - IN high disables HIGHDR and enables LOWDR, matching standard buck controller feedback polarity requirements. |
| Bootstrap Capability | Floating high-side driver with internal Schottky diode - eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Protection Functions | CROWBAR OVP, adaptive dead-time, and ENABLE shutdown - provides hardware-level fault response without MCU intervention. |
Pinout & Package
TPS2835D is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™ compatible layout). Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; pins are spaced at 1.27 mm pitch, body dimensions 8.65 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.75 mm max height. Thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ENABLE | Digital enable input | Active-high TTL-compatible signal; pulls both drivers low when logic low - used for system-level power sequencing and fault shutdown. |
| 2 IN | Inverting input control | Drives HIGHDR low and LOWDR high when logic high - matches inverted PWM output from TL5001A or similar controllers. |
| 3 CROWBAR | OVP override input | Active-low TTL signal; forces LOWDR high and HIGHDR low independent of IN/ENABLE - protects against high-side FET short-circuit failure. |
| 4,9,13 NC | No internal connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling. |
| 5 SYNC | Synchronous mode select | High enables low-side synchronous rectification; low disables LOWDR for diode-emulated operation - supports flexible topology reconfiguration. |
| 6 DT | Dead-time sensing node | Connected to high/low FET junction; dynamically adjusts turn-on delays to eliminate shoot-through - requires low-inductance routing. |
| 7 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for driver outputs; must be tied directly to power FET source nodes and bulk capacitor negative terminals. |
| 8 VCC | Driver supply input | 4.5–15 V input; requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VCC and PGND to stabilize gate drive transients. |
| 10 LOWDR | Low-side gate driver output | Push-pull output capable of 3.5-A sink/source - directly drives N-channel MOSFET gate with minimal external components. |
| 11 BOOTLO | Bootstrap return node | Connects to high/low FET junction; forms return path for bootstrap capacitor charge/discharge - critical for high-side floating bias generation. |
| 12 HIGHDR | High-side gate driver output | Bootstrapped push-pull output; delivers 2.4-A peak into high-side FET gate - enables efficient N-channel high-side switching. |
| 14 BOOT | Bootstrap supply terminal | Connects to bootstrap capacitor anode; internal Schottky diode charges capacitor during low-side conduction - eliminates external diode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting Input Logic | Matches standard buck controller output polarity, eliminating need for external inverter logic in TL5001A-based designs. |
| Adaptive Dead-Time Control | Monitors DT node voltage to dynamically adjust nonoverlap timing - ensures shoot-through immunity across line/load/temperature variations. |
| Integrated Schottky Bootstrap Diode | Reduces component count and board space vs discrete bootstrap solutions; improves charge efficiency and thermal performance. |
| CROWBAR Overvoltage Protection | Hardware-level clamp activation that overrides all control inputs - provides fail-safe response to high-side FET short without software delay. |
| TTL-Compatible Digital Inputs | ENABLE, SYNC, and CROWBAR accept standard 0–5 V logic levels - simplifies interface with microcontrollers, supervisors, and analog controllers. |

FAQ
What is the input logic polarity of the TPS2835D?
The TPS2835D features an inverting input: when the IN pin is logic high, the HIGHDR output goes low and the LOWDR output goes high. This matches the output polarity of common PWM controllers like the TL5001A, eliminating the need for external inverters in standard synchronous-buck configurations. The TPS2835D datasheet confirms this behavior in both functional description and truth tables.
Does the TPS2835D include an internal bootstrap diode?
Yes, the TPS2835D integrates a Schottky bootstrap diode between VCC and BOOT terminals. This eliminates the need for an external diode in bootstrap circuits, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential failure points. The internal diode is explicitly documented in the "detailed description" and "terminal functions" sections of the TPS2835D datasheet.
How does the CROWBAR function protect the system in the TPS2835D?
The CROWBAR function in the TPS2835D activates when the CROWBAR pin is driven low, forcing LOWDR high and HIGHDR low regardless of IN or ENABLE status. This turns on the low-side FET as a clamp, shunting excess energy and limiting output overvoltage during high-side FET short-circuit failures. The TPS2835D datasheet specifies this behavior as a hardware-level OVP mechanism with no propagation delay.
What package options are available for the TPS2835D?
The TPS2835D is offered exclusively in the 14-pin SOIC (D) package with PowerPAD-compatible thermal pad. It is distinct from the TPS2835PWP, which uses the HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package. Both share identical pinout and functionality, but the TPS2835D's SOIC form factor supports standard pick-and-place and reflow processes with Level-1 MSL rating.
Can the TPS2835D operate in nonsynchronous mode?
Yes, the TPS2835D supports nonsynchronous operation via the SYNC pin: when SYNC is logic low, the low-side driver (LOWDR) is disabled, allowing the external catch diode to conduct during the off-time. This mode is useful for light-load efficiency optimization or compatibility with legacy diode-based designs - a feature confirmed in the TPS2835D functional block diagram and application information.
