Product details
Overview
TPS51116MPWPEP from Texas Instruments is a radiation-tolerant, extended-temperature synchronous buck controller with integrated 1-A sink/source LDO and buffered VREF for DDR/DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR3 memory power. It delivers 2.5-V (DDR), 1.8-V (DDR2), or adjustable 0.75–3.0-V VDDQ output; ±20-mV VTT/VTTREF accuracy; and supports D-CAP™ mode with 100-ns load-step response in military-grade HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™ packaging.
For engineers reviewing the TPS51116MPWPEP datasheet, TPS51116MPWPEP pinout, TPS51116MPWPEP application, or TPS51116MPWPEP equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode PWM control (D-CAP™/current mode), RDS(on) or resistor-based current sensing, S3/S4/S5 sleep-state support (including soft-off discharge), and operation across –55°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS51116MPWPEP integrates three tightly coupled power rails: a 400-kHz adaptive on-time synchronous buck controller for VDDQ, a 1-A bidirectional LDO for VTT, and a buffered 10-mA VTTREF output tracking VDDQ/2. Its D-CAP™ mode enables zero-external-compensation operation with ceramic capacitors, while current mode supports ultra-low-ESR stability via external COMP network.
Control logic implements JEDEC-compliant DDR memory power sequencing: high-Z VTT in S3 (suspend-to-RAM); simultaneous VDDQ/VTT/VTTREF discharge in S4/S5 (soft-off); and independent VLDOIN input to minimize LDO conduction loss. Protection includes overvoltage (±5% VDDQ OVP), undervoltage (70% UVP), thermal shutdown (160°C), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting with RDS(on) temperature compensation (4500 ppm/°C).

| COMP (8) | Compensation network interface | Selects control mode: tied to V5IN → D-CAP™; otherwise → current mode with external RC network |
| VDDQSNS (9) | VDDQ feedback and VTTREF source | Senses VDDQ output; generates VTTREF internally; also serves as non-tracking discharge path |
| VDDQSET (10) | VDDQ voltage setting | Selects preset (GND=2.5 V, V5IN=1.8 V) or adjustable output via external resistor divider |
| S3 (11) | Suspend-to-RAM input | Asserts high-Z state on VTT during S3 - eliminates standby leakage in DDR memory subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DDR memory power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS51200DRCR | Single-channel DDR3/LPDDR3 VTT regulator only; no VDDQ controller or VTTREF buffer | Requires external VDDQ buck controller and reference; suited for designs where VDDQ is already generated | Choose when only VTT regulation is needed and system-level VDDQ is available from another source |
| ISL95812IRZ-T | Supports DDR4; higher VDDQ max (1.35 V); lacks S3/S4/S5 sleep-state logic and RDS(on) sensing | Designed for newer DDR4 memory; does not meet JEDEC S3/S4/S5 discharge requirements for legacy DDR/DDR2 | Prefer for DDR4 systems; avoid for DDR/DDR2/DDR3 where soft-off and high-Z control are mandatory |
Compared with TPS51200DRCR and ISL95812IRZ-T, the TPS51116MPWPEP uniquely integrates VDDQ buck control, VTT LDO, and VTTREF in one military-qualified package with full JEDEC sleep-state compliance - making it the only single-chip solution for radiation-tolerant DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory power.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported VDDQ output voltage for TPS51116MPWPEP?
The TPS51116MPWPEP supports an adjustable VDDQ output range from 0.75 V to 3.0 V. It also provides fixed 2.5-V (DDR) and 1.8-V (DDR2) outputs via VDDQSET pin configuration. The upper limit of 3.0 V accommodates future DDR standards and custom memory interfaces requiring higher termination voltages, all while maintaining ±20-mV VTTREF accuracy relative to VDDQ/2.
Does TPS51116MPWPEP support both RDS(on) and resistor-based current sensing?
Yes, the TPS51116MPWPEP supports dual current sensing schemes. For RDS(on) sensing, connect CS to V5IN through a trip-setting resistor and tie LL to the bottom MOSFET drain. For resistor sensing, connect CS directly to the sense resistor–PGND node. The device uses 4500 ppm/°C temperature compensation on ITRIP current to match MOSFET RDS(on) drift - a feature confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under TCITRIP.
How does TPS51116MPWPEP handle DDR memory sleep states S3, S4, and S5?
The TPS51116MPWPEP implements JEDEC-compliant sleep-state control: S3 asserts high-Z on VTT; S4/S5 trigger soft-off discharge of VDDQ, VTT, and VTTREF. MODE pin selects tracking (discharge via LDO transistors) or non-tracking (discharge via internal FETs) behavior. These functions are fully integrated - no external logic or sequencing ICs are required to meet DDR/DDR2/DDR3 specification requirements.
What is the purpose of the VLDOIN pin on TPS51116MPWPEP?
The VLDOIN pin on TPS5116MPWPEP provides an independent input supply for the VTT LDO, enabling designers to connect it to a lower-voltage rail (e.g., 1.5 V or 1.2 V) instead of VDDQ. This reduces conduction loss during VTT sourcing, improving overall system efficiency - especially critical in high-current DDR3/LPDDR3 applications where VTT can draw up to 1 A continuously.
Can TPS51116MPWPEP operate without external compensation components?
Yes, the TPS51116MPWPEP supports D-CAP™ mode, which disables the transconductance amplifier and uses internal compensation. When COMP is tied to V5IN, the device operates in D-CAP™ mode and requires only a 20-μF ceramic output capacitor on VDDQ - eliminating external RC networks, simplifying layout, and reducing BOM cost while maintaining stability and 100-ns transient response.
