Product details
Overview
TPS51313DRCR from Texas Instruments is a fully integrated 3-A synchronous buck converter in a 3 mm × 3 mm VSON-10 (DRC) package, designed for low-voltage point-of-load applications. It operates from 3.1 V to 5.5 V input, delivers 0.6 V to 3.3 V output with 1% reference accuracy, and uses D-CAP2™ adaptive constant-on-time control at 1 MHz for fast transient response in discrete graphics PCIe® PEX rail systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS51313DRCR datasheet, TPS51313DRCR pinout, TPS51313DRCR application, or TPS51313DRCR equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-external-compensation design, integrated high-side/low-side FETs, auto-skip light-load efficiency, pre-biased startup, and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - all validated for –10°C to 85°C industrial operation.
Technical Context
The TPS51313DRCR implements D-CAP2™ control architecture with an internal integrator and three-loop PWM operation: internal current sensing at the SW node, voltage feedback via FB pin referenced to 0.6-V bandgap, and fast feedforward modulation of on-time during load transients. Its valley-current limit is fixed at 4.8 A, and it features programmable soft-start (300 µs), open-drain PGOOD with 1.3-ms delay, and dual UVLO monitoring on VIN and VCC (2.95 V wake-up, 2.7 V shutdown).
Protection logic includes latched OVP (130% VREF), UVP (50% VREF), overcurrent (9-cycle latch-off), and non-latched thermal shutdown at 145°C. The device supports pre-biased output startup and discharges the output capacitor through an internal resistor when disabled - critical for multi-rail sequencing in GPU power delivery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.1 V to 5.5 V - supports both 3.3-V and 5-V system rails without external level-shifting. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 3.3 V - set by external R1/R2 divider; 0.6-V ±1% reference enables precise POL regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A DC - monolithically integrates high-side and low-side FETs; no external MOSFETs required. |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz - enables compact all-ceramic designs with small inductors (e.g., 0.56 µH) and minimal footprint. |
| Control Mode | D-CAP2™ adaptive constant-on-time - eliminates external compensation, provides <100-ns transient response, and auto-skips at light load. |
| Soft-Start Time | 300 µs - fixed internal ramp from 0 V to 0.6 V reference; ensures controlled VOUT rise without inrush current. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 145°C threshold with 20°C hysteresis - non-latched recovery allows automatic restart after cooling, improving system resilience. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS51313DRCR is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 10-pin VSON (DRC) package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PGND for optimal thermal performance (θJCbot = 6.3°C/W). Pin 1 is located in Quadrant Q2 per tape-and-reel orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 1) | Voltage feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; sets regulation point and triggers PGOOD, OVP (130% VREF), and UVP (50% VREF). |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Analog supply rail | Provides bias for internal circuitry; monitored for UVLO (2.95 V wake-up); must be ≥3.1 V for full functionality. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Supplies gate drive for internal FETs and power conversion path; shares UVLO monitoring with VCC. |
| PGND (Pins 4, 5) | Power ground return | Dual pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal conduction; must connect directly to thermal pad and PCB ground plane. |
| EN (Pin 10) | Enable control input | 3.3-V logic compatible (VIL = 0.8 V, VIH = 1.5 V); initiates soft-start and disables output discharge path when low. |
| PGOOD (Pin 9) | Open-drain status output | Asserts after 1.3-ms delay post-EN high; deasserts on fault (UVLO, OVP, UVP, OCP, thermal); requires external 100-kΩ pull-up. |
| NC (Pin 8) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external trace or component allowed. |
| SW (Pins 6, 7) | Switch node outputs | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; dual pins reduce parasitic inductance and improve EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external compensation required | D-CAP2™ control with internal integrator zero (~60 kHz) ensures stability with standard MLCC output capacitors - eliminates tuning effort and BOM cost. |
| Pre-biased startup support | Allows safe turn-on when output capacitor is pre-charged (e.g., in multi-phase or hot-swap systems), preventing reverse current flow into the IC. |
| Auto-skip mode at light load | Disables low-side FET conduction when inductor current goes negative, reducing switching losses and maintaining >85% efficiency at 10-mA loads. |
| Integrated output capacitor discharge | Internal resistor actively discharges VOUT when EN is low - essential for clean power-down sequencing in GPU and FPGA applications. |
| Fixed 300-µs soft-start | Guarantees monotonic VOUT ramp with no external components; prevents overshoot and reduces stress on downstream capacitors and ICs. |
Applications
| Discrete Graphics PCIe® PEX Rail | Low-Voltage Point-of-Load (POL) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS51317DRCR | Same DRC package, 3-A rating, but supports 1.5-MHz switching and wider 0.6–5.5-V output range; lacks PGOOD pin. | Omits power-good signaling - unsuitable for systems requiring fault reporting or sequencing coordination. | Select when higher frequency (1.5 MHz) and extended output range are prioritized over PGOOD functionality. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Monolithic 3-A buck in 8-pin SOIC-EP; 2.5–5.5-V input; 0.8–5-V output; 500-kHz fixed frequency; no PGOOD or UVLO on VCC. | Lacks dual UVLO monitoring and integrated discharge path - requires external circuitry for robust multi-rail sequencing. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-sequencing applications where SOIC thermal performance suffices and PGOOD is not required. |
Compared with TPS51313DRCR, TPS51317DRCR trades PGOOD for higher frequency and broader output flexibility, while MP2315DJ-LF-Z offers lower BOM cost but sacrifices sequencing reliability and thermal efficiency due to larger package and absence of key protection features.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS51313DRCR?
The TPS51313DRCR supports a maximum continuous DC output current of 3 A, enabled by its monolithically integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs. This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range (–10°C to 85°C) with proper PCB thermal design - including connection of the exposed thermal pad to a solid PGND plane - and assumes use of recommended external components (e.g., 0.56-µH inductor, 66-µF MLCC output capacitance).
Does the TPS51313DRCR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS51313DRCR does not require external compensation components. Its D-CAP2™ adaptive constant-on-time control architecture incorporates an internal integrator with a zero placed at ~60 kHz, ensuring inherent stability with standard ceramic output capacitors. This eliminates the need for external RC networks, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count - a key advantage confirmed in the SLUSB31 datasheet Section 8.2.2.
How does the TPS51313DRCR handle power-down sequencing?
When the EN pin is pulled low, the TPS51313DRCR actively discharges the output capacitor through an internal resistor, ensuring controlled VOUT ramp-down. This feature prevents back-driving of upstream sources or downstream devices during power-down - critical for reliable multi-rail sequencing in GPU and FPGA systems. The discharge path remains active until VOUT falls below the UVP threshold (50% × 0.6 V), at which point the device latches off.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS51313DRCR?
The TPS51313DRCR integrates six key protections: (1) Input UVLO on both VIN and VCC (2.95 V wake-up, 2.7 V shutdown), (2) Output OVP (130% VREF, 1.9-µs delay), (3) Output UVP (50% VREF, 2.4-µs delay), (4) Overcurrent protection (4.8-A valley limit, 9-cycle latch-off), (5) Thermal shutdown (145°C, 20°C hysteresis), and (6) PGOOD fault signaling. All are documented in Sections 7.1–7.6 of the SLUSB31 datasheet.
Can the TPS51313DRCR operate with a pre-biased output voltage?
Yes, the TPS51313DRCR supports pre-biased startup - meaning it can safely begin regulation even when the output capacitor is already charged to a non-zero voltage. This capability prevents reverse current flow into the IC during hot-swap or multi-phase turn-on scenarios. The device achieves this via internal circuitry that monitors SW node voltage and disables low-side FET conduction until the output reaches regulation, as detailed in Section 8.3.7 of the SLUSB31 datasheet.
