Product details
Overview
TPS2835DR from Texas Instruments is an inverting-input, dual-channel MOSFET driver optimized for synchronous-buck power stages. It delivers 2.4-A peak high-side source/sink current, supports 4.5–15-V supply voltage, and features adaptive dead-time control to prevent shoot-through. It is used in high-efficiency 3.3-V/3-A DC-DC converters with TL5001A controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2835DR datasheet, TPS2835DR pinout, TPS2835DR application, or TPS2835DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its inverting input logic, integrated Schottky bootstrap diode, CROWBAR overvoltage protection, TTL-compatible control terminals (ENABLE/SYNC/CROWBAR), and SOIC-14 thermal performance at −40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS2835DR implements a dual-output gate driver architecture with independent high-side (floating bootstrap or ground-referenced) and low-side drivers. Its adaptive dead-time circuit monitors the DT terminal connected to the power FET junction to enforce non-overlapping drive timing, eliminating shoot-through during switching transitions.
Control logic includes TTL-compatible ENABLE (global disable), SYNC (synchronous/nonsynchronous mode selection), and CROWBAR (low-side override for OVP clamping). The inverting input (IN) distinguishes it from the TPS2834DR, enabling direct interface with noninverting PWM controllers without external inversion.
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 supplies without external regulation. |
| Peak Output Current | 2.4 A high-side source/sink - Drives large gate capacitance of low-rDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs (e.g., Si4410) in multiphase buck stages. |
| Rise/Fall Time | ≤50 ns (high-side), ≤30 ns (low-side) with 3.3-nF load - Enables >1-MHz switching in compact, high-density power designs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C virtual junction - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded power applications. |
| Input Logic Type | Inverting - IN signal polarity matches standard noninverting PWM controllers (e.g., TL5001A), simplifying system-level timing alignment. |
| CROWBAR Function | TTL-compatible active-low OVP override - Forces low-side FET conduction to clamp output during high-side short, protecting downstream loads. |
| Dead-Time Control | DT terminal tied to FET drain node - Dynamically adjusts turn-on delays based on actual power stage voltage transitions, not fixed timing. |
Pinout & Package
TPS2835DR is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (D package) with exposed thermal pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; the package meets JEDEC MS-012 AB and is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ENABLE | Digital enable input | Active-high TTL signal; pulls both drivers low when logic low - enables full system power sequencing and standby mode. |
| 2 IN | Inverting logic input | Drives high-side and low-side outputs with inverted polarity - matches noninverting PWM controller outputs without external inverters. |
| 3 CROWBAR | OVP override input | Active-low TTL signal; forces LOWDR high and HIGHDR low regardless of IN state - provides hardware-level fault containment. |
| 4, 9, 13 NC | No internal connection | Unbonded pins - must remain unconnected and unstubbed to avoid parasitic coupling or EMI. |
| 5 SYNC | Synchronous mode control | High = synchronous rectification (LOWDR active); Low = nonsynchronous (LOWDR disabled) - selects diode emulation vs. freewheeling FET operation. |
| 6 DT | Dead-time sensing node | Connected to high-side/low-side FET drain junction - enables adaptive timing to prevent shoot-through under varying load and layout conditions. |
| 7 PGND | Power ground return | Low-inductance path for high-current gate drive return - must be routed separately from signal ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| 8 VCC | Driver supply input | 4.5–15 V input; requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor to PGND - powers internal logic and output stages. |
| 10 LOWDR | Low-side gate driver output | Push-pull output driving N-channel MOSFET source - rated for 3.5-A sink/2.4-A source into 3.3-nF load. |
| 11 BOOTLO | Bootstrap return node | Connects to FET junction; forms return path for bootstrap capacitor - critical for high-side floating bias generation. |
| 12 HIGHDR | High-side gate driver output | Push-pull output driving N-channel MOSFET gate - operates from floating bootstrap rail up to 30 V relative to PGND. |
| 14 BOOT | Bootstrap supply input | Accepts charge from bootstrap capacitor (0.1–1 µF ceramic) - develops floating VCC for high-side driver during high-side conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar MOSFET driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2835PWP | Same functional spec, HTSSOP-14 PowerPAD package with 2.07 °C/W junction-case thermal resistance vs. SOIC's 11.5 °C/W. | Better thermal performance for high-duty-cycle or high-ambient applications; requires different PCB land pattern and reflow profile (MSL Level-2). | Select TPS2835PWP when board space is constrained and thermal dissipation exceeds SOIC capability; verify stencil design per TI SMT guidelines. |
| TPS2834DR | Noninverting input logic; identical pinout, package, and all other electrical specs including CROWBAR, SYNC, and dead-time control. | Used where PWM controller output is inverting or where system-level logic polarity must match noninverting signal flow. | Choose TPS2834DR only when IN polarity must be noninverting; otherwise TPS2835DR is functionally identical and interchangeable in inverting-control systems. |
Compared with TPS2835PWP, the TPS2835DR offers lower-cost assembly and simpler reflow but higher thermal resistance; compared with TPS2834DR, it provides matched logic polarity for noninverting PWM sources without external gates - critical for timing integrity in high-frequency buck regulators.

FAQ
What is the input logic polarity of the TPS2835DR?
The TPS2835DR features an inverting input (IN) - a high logic level at the IN pin results in a low output on HIGHDR and a high output on LOWDR. This matches standard noninverting PWM controllers like the TL5001A, eliminating the need for external inverters and preserving timing margins in high-frequency buck designs. The TPS2835DR datasheet confirms this behavior in the Functional Block Diagram and Terminal Functions table.
Does the TPS2835DR include an internal bootstrap diode?
Yes, the TPS2835DR integrates a Schottky bootstrap diode between VCC and BOOT terminals. This reduces external component count, improves bootstrap efficiency by lowering forward voltage drop (~0.3 V), and accelerates capacitor recharge during high-side conduction. The internal diode is explicitly documented in the "Detailed Description" section and functional block diagram of the TPS2835DR datasheet.
How does the CROWBAR function protect the power stage in the TPS2835DR?
The CROWBAR function in the TPS2835DR is an active-low, TTL-compatible input that forces LOWDR high and HIGHDR low regardless of IN, ENABLE, or SYNC states. When asserted (logic low), it turns on the low-side FET to clamp the output voltage during high-side FET shorts - preventing overvoltage damage to downstream loads. This hardware-level response is independent of controller firmware and is validated in the TPS2835DR application circuit (Figure 17).
What package options are available for the TPS2835DR?
The TPS2835DR is offered exclusively in the 14-pin SOIC (D) package with tape-and-reel packaging (2500 units per reel). It is distinct from the PWP variant (TPS2835PWP), which uses HTSSOP PowerPAD. The SOIC package has MSL Level-1 rating, NiPdAu lead finish, and is qualified for −40°C to 125°C operation. Package dimensions and land patterns are defined in TI's D0014A outline drawing.
Can the TPS2835DR operate with a 3.3-V logic supply?
No, the TPS2835DR requires a minimum 4.5-V supply on VCC to operate correctly. Its TTL-compatible inputs (IN, ENABLE, SYNC, CROWBAR) have VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC and VIL ≤ 1 V, meaning at 3.3 V the high-level threshold would fall below 2.3 V - incompatible with standard 3.3-V logic families. The recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 15 V, as specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the TPS2835DR datasheet.
