Product details
Overview
TPS51275B-1RUKR from Texas Instruments is a dual synchronous buck controller with integrated 5-V/100-mA and 3.3-V/100-mA always-on LDOs, adaptive on-time D-CAP™ control, 300-kHz (CH1) and 355-kHz (CH2) switching frequencies, and 260-kHz VCLK output for external charge-pump gate drive - designed for notebook system power rails requiring tight regulation, fast transient response, and high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the TPS51275B-1RUKR datasheet, TPS51275B-1RUKR pinout, TPS51275B-1RUKR application, or TPS51275B-1RUKR equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel independent enable (EN1/EN2), ±1% VFB reference accuracy, OOA light-load mode, low-side RDS(on) current sensing, and 20-pin 3-mm × 3-mm WQFN (RUK) package with thermal pad.
Technical Context
The TPS51275B-1RUKR implements adaptive on-time D-CAP™ control without external compensation, using internal 2-V reference and valley-current sensing via CS1/CS2 pins to set overcurrent thresholds. Its two independent buck channels operate at fixed nominal frequencies (300 kHz CH1, 355 kHz CH2) with input voltage feed-forward to maintain stable on-time across 5–24 V VIN.
Light-load operation transitions smoothly into Out-of-Audio (OOA) mode-forcing minimum 40-µs switching intervals to avoid audible noise-while built-in soft-start (3.2 ms), output discharge, and combined PGOOD signaling support robust system sequencing in portable computing platforms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 5 V to 24 V - supports wide-input notebook adapter and battery-supplied rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltages | 5 V ±10% (CH1) and 3.3 V ±10% (CH2) - adjustable via external resistor dividers on VFB1/VFB2. |
| Switching Frequencies | CH1: 300 kHz typ. (240–360 kHz), CH2: 355 kHz typ. (280–430 kHz) - enables optimized inductor sizing and EMI management. |
| VFB Reference Accuracy | ±1% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures precise output regulation under thermal stress and load transients. |
| LDO Outputs | VREG5: 5 V / 100 mA; VREG3: 3.3 V / 100 mA - always-on, UVLO-protected supplies for gate drivers and analog circuitry. |
| VCLK Output | 260 kHz square wave - drives external charge pump to generate high-side gate voltage without efficiency penalty. |
| OCP Sensing | Temperature-compensated RDS(on) sensing via CS1/CS2 - eliminates sense resistors; 4500 ppm/°C ICS slope matches MOSFET drift. |
| Protection Features | OVP (115% trip), UVP (60% trip), OTP (155°C shutdown), non-latch UVLO - ensures safe fault recovery in multi-rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
TPS51275B-1RUKR is housed in a 20-pin, 3-mm × 3-mm WQFN package (RUK) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal performance (RθJA = 94.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS1, CS2 | Overcurrent threshold setting inputs | Sink 10 µA current (temp-compensated); connect to GND via RCS to set valley OCL trip voltage (0.2–2 V range). |
| DRVH1, DRVH2 | High-side gate drivers | Drive external N-channel MOSFET gates; bootstrap-supplied via VBST1/VBST2 capacitors tied to SW1/SW2. |
| DRVL1, DRVL2 | Low-side gate drivers | Drive synchronous rectifier MOSFETs; sink/source capability supports zero-cross detection and DCM transition. |
| VFB1, VFB2 | Feedback inputs | Monitor regulated outputs via resistor dividers; internal 2-V reference enables ±1% output accuracy. |
| EN1, EN2 | Independent channel enables | Logic-level inputs (1.6 V ON, 0.3 V OFF); support staggered startup and dynamic rail sequencing. |
| VCLK | Charge-pump clock output | 260-kHz open-drain signal referenced to VO1; active only when EN1 = high. |
| PGOOD | Combined power-good flag | Open-drain output pulled high externally; asserts high only when both CH1 and CH2 outputs are within 95–110% window. |
| VREG5, VREG3 | Integrated LDO outputs | Always-on 5-V/100-mA and 3.3-V/100-mA supplies; power gate drivers (VREG5) and internal analog blocks (VREG3). |
| VO1 | 5-V switchover input | Enables VREG5 switchover: when CH1 PGOOD is high and VO1 > VREG5 − 1 V, internal MOSFET connects VO1 to VREG5. |
| Thermal Pad | Ground connection | Must be soldered to solid PCB ground plane to meet thermal specs and ensure reliable 85°C operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive On-Time D-CAP™ Control | Eliminates external compensation network; achieves fast transient response with minimal output capacitance in notebook applications. |
| Out-of-Audio (OOA) Light-Load Mode | Maintains switching above 20 kHz during light loads by forcing 40-µs min interval - prevents audible coil whine without increasing ripple. |
| Independent Dual-Channel Enable | EN1 and EN2 allow separate control of 5-V and 3.3-V rails - enabling flexible power sequencing, suspend/resume, and fault isolation. |
| Integrated Always-On LDOs | VREG5 (5 V/100 mA) powers gate drivers; VREG3 (3.3 V/100 mA) supplies internal analog circuits - both active beyond VIN UVLO (4.58 V). |
| Low-Side RDS(on) Current Sensing | CS1/CS2 pins use temperature-compensated current source (4500 ppm/°C) to match MOSFET RDS(on) drift - removes sense resistor and saves board space. |
| VCLK for External Charge Pump | 260-kHz clock referenced to VO1 enables efficient bootstrap voltage generation - avoids dedicated charge-pump IC and improves converter efficiency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS51275RUKR | Non-B version; lacks OOA light-load mode and uses standard D-CAP (not D-CAP™ B) with different frequency mapping. | Higher light-load ripple and potential audible noise; suitable where acoustic performance is not critical. | Select TPS51275RUKR only if OOA mode and tighter light-load regulation are unnecessary. |
| ISL95831IRZ | Single-channel 5-V buck controller with integrated 3.3-V LDO; no second buck channel or VCLK output. | Requires external 3.3-V regulator or second controller for dual-rail systems; no charge-pump clock support. | Choose ISL95831IRZ only for cost-sensitive single-rail designs where 3.3-V is derived separately. |
Compared with TPS51275RUKR and ISL95831IRZ, the TPS51275B-1RUKR uniquely delivers dual independent buck channels, OOA light-load operation, and VCLK for charge-pump drive - making it the only option that fully integrates notebook-class dual-rail power with silent, efficient, and sequenced delivery.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS51275B-1RUKR in a notebook power system?
The TPS51275B-1RUKR serves as a dual-channel synchronous buck controller that generates regulated 5-V and 3.3-V system rails. It integrates two always-on LDOs (VREG5 and VREG3), adaptive on-time D-CAP™ control, and a 260-kHz VCLK output for external charge-pump gate drive - enabling high-efficiency, low-noise, and compact power delivery in notebook platforms without external compensation components.
How does the TPS51275B-1RUKR achieve light-load efficiency without audible noise?
The TPS51275B-1RUKR uses Out-of-Audio (OOA) mode to prevent switching frequencies from falling into the audible range (20–20 kHz). When load decreases, it forces a minimum 40-µs interval between switching events - maintaining operation above 25 kHz while preserving high efficiency and low output ripple. This behavior is intrinsic to the TPS51275B-1RUKR's control architecture and requires no external configuration.
Can the TPS51275B-1RUKR operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the TPS51275B-1RUKR supports independent channel control via EN1 and EN2 pins. Either channel can be disabled while the other remains active - for example, EN1 = high and EN2 = low enables only the 5-V output, with VREG3 and VREG5 still powered. The TPS51275B-1RUKR maintains LDO functionality and PGOOD assertion only for enabled channels per Table 1 in the datasheet.
What is the role of the VCLK pin on the TPS51275B-1RUKR?
The VCLK pin on the TPS51275B-1RUKR outputs a 260-kHz square wave referenced to VO1, used to drive an external charge-pump circuit that generates high-side gate drive voltage. This eliminates the need for a dedicated charge-pump IC and improves overall converter efficiency. VCLK activates only when EN1 is asserted high and remains inactive otherwise - a feature unique to the TPS51275B-1RUKR among its family variants.
Does the TPS51275B-1RUKR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS51275B-1RUKR uses adaptive on-time D-CAP™ control architecture, which eliminates the need for external compensation networks such as RC filters or type-II/III compensators. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves transient response - a core advantage confirmed in the TPS51275B-1RUKR datasheet Section 8.3.1 and Functional Block Diagram.
