Product details
Overview
TPS53310RGTR from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated high- and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, operating from 2.9 V to 6 V input and delivering adjustable output from 0.6 V to 0.84 × VIN. It features 1.1-MHz fixed-frequency voltage-mode control, hiccup overcurrent protection, internal boot strap switch, and supports all-MLCC output designs. Used in compact power rails for FPGA core supplies and industrial microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS53310RGTR datasheet, TPS53310RGTR pinout, TPS53310RGTR application, or TPS53310RGTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin VQFN (3 mm × 3 mm) package, 24 mΩ/19 mΩ RDS(on) at 3.3 V/5 V input, soft-stop output discharge, pre-bias startup support, and master/slave interleaving capability for ripple reduction.
Technical Context
The TPS53310RGTR implements voltage-mode PWM control with a 1.1-MHz oscillator and supports five configurable operation modes-FCCM master/slave, diode emulation (DE), and high-efficiency (HEF)-selected via the PS pin resistor network. Its internal error amplifier uses Type III compensation (COMP pin) and references a precision 0.6-V bandgap (FB pin).
It integrates dual N-FETs with low RDS(on), an internal bootstrap switch (VBST), open-drain power-good (PGD), and comprehensive protection including overcurrent (hiccup), overvoltage (117% VREF), undervoltage (83% VREF), and thermal shutdown (140 °C). Synchronization (SYNC) enables ±20% frequency locking for interleaved two-phase operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9 V to 6 V - Supports wide-input industrial and embedded rails including 5 V and 3.3 V bus-derived supplies. |
| Output Current | Continuous 3 A - Delivers full rated current without external current-sense resistors or heatsinking in typical layouts. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1 MHz (typ) - Enables use of small 1-µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering requirements. |
| RDS(on) High-Side | 24 mΩ @ 3.3 V VIN, 19 mΩ @ 5 V VIN - Minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency across common input voltages. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6 V ±1.25% - Enables precise output regulation down to 0.6 V for low-voltage logic cores. |
| Protection Features | Hiccup OCP, OVP/UVP (±17% VREF), thermal shutdown (140 °C), soft-stop discharge - Ensures robust fault recovery and system-level reliability. |

Pinout & Package
TPS53310RGTR is housed in a thermally enhanced 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-pin VQFN package (RGT suffix) with exposed thermal pad. Pin count and layout match TI's standard 16-pin QFN footprint for drop-in compatibility across similar regulators.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | EN, PS | Enable input (pull-up to VDD) and mode-select configuration pin - Determines FCCM/DE/HEF and master/slave behavior via resistor divider. |
| 2, 11 | SYNC, AGND | Synchronization interface (bidirectional) and analog ground reference - Enables phase-interleaved operation with second TPS53310RGTR or external clock. |
| 3, 10 | PGD, FB | Open-drain power-good flag and feedback input - PGD asserts high only when FB is within 83–117% of 0.6 V; FB sets output voltage via resistor divider. |
| 4, 9 | VBST, COMP | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate drive and error amplifier compensation node - Requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to SW; COMP accepts Type III network for stability. |
| 5–7, 15–16 | SW, PGND | Power switch node (3 parallel pins) and power ground (2 parallel pins) - Low-inductance routing critical for EMI and efficiency; multiple pins reduce resistance and improve thermal path. |
| 12–14 | VDD, VIN, VIN | Bias supply (2.9–3.5 V) and main power input (2.9–6 V, dual pins) - Dual VIN pins reduce IR drop and enhance current handling for 3-A load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS53311RGTR | Latch-off overcurrent protection instead of hiccup; identical pinout, specs, and package. | Better suited for systems requiring immediate fault isolation (e.g., safety-critical power domains) rather than automatic retry. | Select TPS53311RGTR if latch-off OCP is required; otherwise TPS53310RGTR offers smoother recovery in non-critical loads. |
| MP2331GJ-Z | Monolithic 3-A buck with 0.8-V reference, no SYNC or PS pin; 2.5–6 V input, 1.2-MHz switching, smaller 2-mm × 2-mm TSOT23-8 package. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer applications where interleaving and multi-mode flexibility are unnecessary. | Choose MP2331GJ-Z for ultra-compact, single-rail designs; TPS53310RGTR remains preferred for industrial systems needing configurability and robustness. |
Compared with TPS53311RGTR, the TPS53310RGTR provides hiccup-style OCP for self-recovery under transient overload, while MP2331GJ-Z trades configurability and thermal performance for footprint and BOM simplicity - making TPS53310RGTR optimal for programmable, high-reliability industrial power rails.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the TPS53310RGTR support?
The TPS53310RGTR supports an input voltage range of 2.9 V to 6 V on the VIN pins, with a separate 2.9 V to 3.5 V bias supply requirement on VDD. This allows direct operation from common 3.3-V and 5-V system rails. The device maintains regulation across this full range while delivering up to 3 A output current, and its UVLO thresholds (2.8 V with 130-mV hysteresis on VIN) ensure reliable startup and shutdown behavior.
How does the PS pin configure operation modes on the TPS53310RGTR?
The PS pin on the TPS53310RGTR selects among five operational modes via resistor-to-ground connections: grounding configures FCCM slave; 24.3 kΩ enables DE slave; 57.6 kΩ activates HEF mode; 174 kΩ sets DE master; and floating/pulling high selects FCCM master. Each mode affects light-load efficiency, frequency behavior, and master/slave synchronization capability. The TPS53310RGTR uses these configurations to optimize trade-offs between ripple, efficiency, and EMI in multi-regulator systems.
Does the TPS53310RGTR support pre-bias startup?
Yes, the TPS53310RGTR supports pre-bias startup, allowing it to safely begin regulation into an already charged output capacitor without causing reverse current flow or output voltage overshoot. This feature is enabled by internal circuitry that monitors SW node voltage during enable assertion and delays high-side FET turn-on until the output settles. Pre-bias startup is critical for hot-swap applications and complex power sequencing in industrial controllers where the TPS53310RGTR may be powered after downstream circuitry.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS53310RGTR?
The TPS53310RGTR integrates hiccup overcurrent protection (OCP), overvoltage protection (OVP) at 117% of 0.6-V reference, undervoltage protection (UVP) at 83% of reference, thermal shutdown at 140 °C with 40 °C hysteresis, and soft-stop output discharge during disable. These protections operate independently and concurrently - for example, OCP triggers after four consecutive overcurrent events, while UVP shuts down the device within 11 µs of sustained low FB voltage. All functions are implemented internally without external components, enhancing system reliability in the TPS53310RGTR's target applications.
Can multiple TPS53310RGTR devices be synchronized for interleaved operation?
Yes, two TPS53310RGTR devices can be synchronized for interleaved operation by connecting their SYNC pins and configuring one as master (PS = 174 kΩ or floating) and the other as slave (PS = GND or 24.3 kΩ). In FCCM mode, the master sends a 180° out-of-phase signal to the slave, reducing input ripple current by ~30% and relaxing input capacitor RMS current requirements. The TPS53310RGTR tolerates ±20% frequency deviation on SYNC, enabling robust synchronization even with component tolerances or temperature drift.
