Product details
Overview
TPS51363RVET from Texas Instruments is a 22-V input, 8-A/10-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, differential voltage feedback, and programmable 400 kHz or 800 kHz switching frequency. It delivers precise 1.05 V output for DDR memory VDDQ rails in notebook computers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS51363RVET datasheet, TPS51363RVET pinout, TPS51363RVET application, or TPS51363RVET equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated FET current rating (8 A at 800 kHz / 10 A at 400 kHz), RDS(on) values (20 mΩ HS / 10 mΩ LS), soft-start programmability via external capacitor, PGOOD timing (1.5 ms delay), and thermal shutdown threshold (140°C).
Technical Context
The TPS51363RVET implements D-CAP2™ control architecture with internal phase compensation network (RC/CC elements) to enable stable loop operation without external compensation components across POSCAP, MLCC, or hybrid output capacitor configurations. Its adaptive on-time mechanism uses sensed inductor ripple and voltage feedback to generate PWM signals.
It supports auto-skip light-load mode with zero-crossing detection to prevent negative inductor current, and integrates full protection: valley-current-based OCL (programmable via TRIP pin), OVP (120% setpoint), UVP (66% setpoint), 5-V UVLO (4.0 V shutdown), and non-latch thermal shutdown (140°C). MODE pin selects 400 kHz (GND) or 800 kHz (float) operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 22 V - Supports wide-input industrial and notebook power rails including 7.4 V, 11.1 V, and 20 V battery inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 2.0 V - Programmable fixed outputs (1.05 V, 1.2 V, 1.35 V, 1.5 V) via REFIN/REFIN2 pins; 1.05 V default for DDR VDDQ. |
| Max Output Current | 8 A at 800 kHz / 10 A at 400 kHz - Dual-frequency capability enables trade-off between size (higher fSW) and efficiency (lower fSW). |
| RDS(on) (HS/LS) | 20 mΩ / 10 mΩ - Low conduction loss enables high efficiency at 8–10 A loads; measured at VV5 = 5 V, TA = 25°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz or 800 kHz - Set by MODE pin; determines inductor size (1 µH @ 400 kHz vs. 0.33 µH @ 800 kHz) and EMI profile. |
| Soft-Start Time | Programmable via external SLEW capacitor - 10 µA internal current source sets ramp rate; e.g., 100 nF yields ~10.5 ms to 1.05 V. |
| PGOOD Delay | 1.5 ms after soft-start completion - Ensures stable regulation before system release; asserts when VOUT ≥ 92% of target. |
Pinout & Package
TPS51363RVET is housed in a 28-pin QFN package (RVE), 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, 1 mm height, with exposed thermal pad (Power PAD) connected to PGND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to SW; powers high-side gate driver during HS FET conduction. |
| EN | Enable input | 1.05-V logic-compatible active-high signal; requires >0.9 V to start, <0.35 V to shut down; 0.25 V hysteresis. |
| GSNS | GND sense input | Connects to system ground or output return path; enables accurate low-side current sensing and OCL detection. |
| MODE | Frequency select | GND = 400 kHz, float = 800 kHz; sets switching frequency and corresponding inductor/capacitor design constraints. |
| PGOOD | Power-good output | Open-drain signal; pulled up externally (100 kΩ); asserts after 1.5 ms when VOUT ≥ 92% of setpoint. |
| REFIN / REFIN2 | Output voltage setpoint | Fixed-voltage configuration: GND/GND = 1.05 V, GND/float = 1.5 V, float/GND = 1.2 V, float/float = 1.35 V. |
| SLEW | Soft-start integrator | Connect external capacitor to GND; 10 µA internal current charges it to program soft-start ramp time. |
| TRIP | OCL programming | GND = 8 A OCL threshold, 5 V = 12 A OCL threshold; sets valley-current limit for cycle-by-cycle protection. |
| VIN | Main power input | 3–22 V input; multiple PGND pins (12, 13, 14, 15, 27) provide low-impedance return paths for high di/dt currents. |
| VREF | 2.0 V reference output | Stable 2.0 V ±1% reference; sources up to 300 µA; requires 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor to GNDS for stability. |
| VSNS | Voltage feedback input | Differential sense input; connects to output rail via resistor divider or direct for fixed-voltage modes; supports remote sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control | Enables stable regulation with zero external compensation components across all-MLCC, POSCAP, or hybrid output caps. |
| Integrated 20 mΩ/10 mΩ FETs | Eliminates external power stage; reduces BOM count and PCB area; supports 8 A @ 800 kHz or 10 A @ 400 kHz continuous output. |
| Programmable soft-start | External capacitor on SLEW pin sets ramp time precisely-critical for controlled inrush current in DDR memory rails. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust POL regulator with -10°C to 85°C operating range, thermal shutdown, and latch-free protections for long-term reliability. Use Value: Integrated OCL, UVP, OVP, and thermal monitoring eliminate need for external supervisors; simplifies safety-critical power validation. | Use Scenario: Delivers clean, low-noise 1.05 V or 1.2 V to FPGA configuration I/O banks requiring precise startup sequencing and discharge control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Regulator with programmable soft-start (via SLEW cap) and output discharge function to prevent floating states during power-down.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS51362RVET | No integrated VREF output; lacks VREF pin and associated 2.0 V reference sourcing capability. | Not suitable for designs requiring external voltage setpoint generation via VREF-driven resistor dividers. | Select TPS51363RVET when VREF sourcing (≤300 µA) is needed for precision feedback or biasing. |
| TPS51367RVET | Supports 3.3 V output via REFIN/REFIN2; wider output range (0.6–3.3 V) and higher max current (12 A @ 400 kHz). | Targeted at higher-voltage rails (e.g., 3.3 V LDO replacement); not optimized for sub-1.5 V DDR rails. | Choose TPS51367RVET only if 3.3 V output or >10 A capability is required; otherwise TPS51363RVET offers better fit for 1.05 V DDR VDDQ. |
Compared with TPS51362RVET, TPS51363RVET adds a 2.0 V reference output enabling direct resistor-divider programming without external references; compared with TPS51367RVET, it provides tighter optimization for low-voltage DDR rails with lower RDS(on) and dedicated 1.05 V fixed-mode support.
