Product details
Overview
TPS51116PWPG4 from Texas Instruments is a complete DDR/DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR3/DDR4 memory power solution integrating a synchronous buck controller (VDDQ), 3-A sink/source LDO (VTT), and buffered 10-mA reference (VREF). It delivers 2.5 V / 10 A for DDR, 1.8 V / 10 A for DDR2, and adjustable 0.75–3.0 V outputs with ±20 mV accuracy on both VTT and VREF. Designed for high-density server and embedded memory subsystems requiring fast transient response and S3/S4/S5 state control.
For engineers reviewing the TPS51116PWPG4 datasheet, TPS51116PWPG4 pinout, TPS51116PWPG4 application, or TPS51116PWPG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include D-CAP™ vs current-mode operation support, VDDQ/VTT tracking behavior, soft-off discharge capability in S4/S5 states, thermal shutdown threshold (160°C), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors (2 × 10 µF for VTT).
Technical Context
The TPS51116PWPG4 implements adaptive on-time D-CAP™ control for sub-100-ns load-step response and supports configurable current-mode operation for ceramic-capacitor stability. Its dual-path architecture separates VDDQ regulation (400-kHz fixed-frequency PWM) from VTT regulation (linear LDO with external VLDOIN supply path), enabling independent efficiency optimization.
VTT regulation uses VTTSNS feedback with ±40 mV tolerance at full ±3 A sink/source, while VDDQSNS serves as reference for both VTT and VTTREF. Sleep-state logic (S3/S5 pins) controls high-Z mode, non-tracking discharge, and soft-off sequencing - critical for JEDEC-compliant DDR termination power management.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS51116RGET | 24-pin QFN (RGE) package; includes V5FILT pin for filtered 5-V supply; identical electrical specs and pin functions except NC and CS_GND placement | Preferred for space-constrained layouts needing lower thermal resistance (RθJB = 12.9°C/W vs 23.9°C/W) | Select RGE for improved thermal performance and board-level filtering; PWP remains optimal for cost-sensitive through-hole assembly. |
| TPS51216RGET | Enhanced version with integrated MOSFET drivers supporting higher VDDQ current (up to 25 A); adds PMBus interface and telemetry; not pin-compatible | Required for DDR4-2400+ systems demanding dynamic margining and real-time voltage monitoring | Choose TPS51216 for DDR4 servers with telemetry needs; TPS51116PWPG4 suffices for DDR3/DDR3L with fixed 10-A VDDQ. |
Compared with TPS51116RGET and TPS51216RGET, the TPS51116PWPG4 offers lowest BOM cost and proven reliability in DDR2/DDR3L designs, while lacking PMBus telemetry and having higher thermal resistance than the QFN variant - making it ideal for cost-optimized, thermally manageable memory power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR standard for TPS51116PWPG4?
The TPS51116PWPG4 supports DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR3, and DDR4 memory systems. It achieves this through programmable VDDQ output (0.75–3.0 V) and corresponding VTT scaling (e.g., 1.25 V for DDR4), verified per JEDEC specifications in TI's SLUS609J datasheet revision J.
Does TPS51116PWPG4 require external compensation components?
No, the TPS51116PWPG4 operates in D-CAP™ mode by default and does not require external compensation. Connecting the COMP pin to V5IN disables the transconductance amplifier, enabling adaptive on-time control that eliminates loop compensation components and simplifies layout.
How does TPS51116PWPG4 handle VTT discharge during system suspend?
The TPS51116PWPG4 uses dedicated S3 and S5 pins to control VTT discharge: S3 asserts high-Z mode for suspend-to-RAM, while S5 triggers soft-off discharge of VTT, VDDQ, and VTTREF in suspend-to-disk states - all implemented in hardware without software dependency.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for the VTT LDO in TPS51116PWPG4?
The TPS51116PWPG4 requires only 20-μF total ceramic output capacitance for the VTT LDO - typically implemented as two 10-μF X5R/X7R MLCCs - enabling compact, high-reliability designs without bulk electrolytic capacitors.
Can TPS51116PWPG4 operate in current-mode control instead of D-CAP™ mode?
Yes, the TPS51116PWPG4 supports current-mode operation for improved stability with ceramic output capacitors. This is enabled by configuring the CS pin for resistor-based current sensing and leaving COMP unconnected to V5IN, allowing full control over compensation network design.
