Overview
TPS53310RGTT from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated high- and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, voltage-mode control, 1.1-MHz fixed switching frequency in FCCM mode, 0.6-V to 0.84×VIN adjustable output, and support for all-MLCC output capacitors. It delivers >95% peak efficiency in 5-V and 3.3-V intermediate bus conversion for FPGA, DSP, and microprocessor core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS53310RGTT datasheet, TPS53310RGTT pinout, TPS53310RGTT application, or TPS53310RGTT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin VQFN (3 mm × 3 mm) package, hiccup overcurrent protection, pre-bias startup capability, soft-stop output discharge, and master/slave interleaving support for ripple reduction.
Technical Context
The TPS53310RGTT implements voltage-mode PWM control with a 14-MHz unity-gain bandwidth error amplifier and type-III compensation at the COMP pin. Its five configurable operation modes-FCCM master/slave, diode emulation (DE), and high-efficiency (HEF)-are selected via resistor-programmed PS pin voltage levels.
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 24 mΩ (3.3-V input) and 19 mΩ (5-V input), internal bootstrap switch, open-drain PGD with 83–117% VREF window, and comprehensive protection including VIN/VDD UVLO, OVP/UVP (±17% VREF), thermal shutdown at 140°C, and hiccup-mode overcurrent limiting.

| 9, COMP | Compensation node | Connects type-III compensation network; sets loop stability and transient response. |
| 10, FB | Voltage feedback | Monitors output via resistive divider; determines regulation setpoint and triggers OVP/UVP/PGD. |
| 11, AGND | Analog ground | Reference for error amplifier and internal analog circuits; requires separate low-noise connection to PGND. |
| 12, VDD | Bias supply | 2.9–3.5-V analog supply; powers control circuitry independent of VIN rail. |
| 13,14, VIN | Main input supply | Dual connections reduce IR drop and improve high-current path integrity for 2.9–6-V input. |
| 15,16, PGND | Power ground | Two dedicated high-current return paths for internal FETs; must connect directly to thermal pad and input/output caps. |
| Thermal pad | Case ground / heat sink | Exposed copper pad (Pin 0); must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for RθJB = 16°C/W performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS53311RGTT | Same pinout and package; adds latch-off overcurrent protection (vs. hiccup) and higher 4.5-A OCP threshold. | Better suited for systems requiring immediate fault isolation (e.g., safety-critical power domains) rather than automatic retry. | Select TPS53311RGTT if latch-off OCP is required; otherwise TPS53310RGTT offers lower cost and sufficient hiccup protection for most industrial loads. |
| MP2332HGRT-P | 3-A, 4.5–21-V input, 1.2-MHz fixed frequency; no PS pin mode selection, no master/slave sync, smaller 2-mm × 2-mm QFN. | Limited to higher-input applications; lacks interleaving and programmable light-load modes, but offers wider VIN range. | Choose MP2332HGRT-P for space-constrained 12-V rail designs where FCCM-only operation is acceptable and sync is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS53310RGTT, TPS53311RGTT provides deterministic fault shutdown instead of hiccup recovery, while MP2332HGRT-P trades programmability and low-VIN capability for smaller size and higher input voltage tolerance-making each suitable for distinct subsystem power architecture priorities.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor configuration for TPS53310RGTT?
The TPS53310RGTT datasheet recommends using multiple low-ESR ceramic capacitors near the VIN and PGND pins to handle high-frequency ripple current. A typical layout uses one 10-µF X5R and two 2.2-µF X7R capacitors placed adjacent to pins 13/14 (VIN) and 15/16 (PGND), with short, wide traces to minimize loop inductance. This configuration ensures stable operation under 3-A load transients and prevents input voltage droop during switching edge transitions.
Does TPS53310RGTT support output voltages below 0.6 V?
No, the TPS53310RGTT does not support output voltages below 0.6 V. Its internal reference is fixed at 0.6 V with ±1.25% tolerance over temperature, and the FB pin regulation range is strictly 0.6 V to 0.84 × VIN. Attempting to set VOUT < 0.6 V violates the error amplifier's operating range and results in loss of regulation, uncontrolled duty cycle, and potential overvoltage on downstream circuitry.
How does the PS pin resistor value affect TPS53310RGTT operation mode?
The PS pin voltage, set by an external resistor to GND, selects among five TPS53310RGTT operation modes: 0 Ω → FCCM slave; 24.3 kΩ → DE slave; 57.6 kΩ → HEF mode; 174 kΩ → DE master; floating or >2.2 V → FCCM master. Each value configures distinct PWM behavior, light-load efficiency strategy, and master/slave synchronization capability-verified per Table 1 in the SLUSA68A datasheet.
Can TPS53310RGTT be used with non-MLCC output capacitors?
The TPS53310RGTT is explicitly characterized and guaranteed for stable operation with all-MLCC output configurations only. While tantalum or polymer capacitors may function in some cases, they introduce ESR-dependent phase shifts that can destabilize the voltage-mode loop, cause oscillation, or trigger false OCP events. TI's design validation and compensation guidelines assume ceramic capacitance and zero-ESR behavior.
What is the maximum allowable thermal pad copper area for TPS53310RGTT?
The TPS53310RGTT thermal pad (exposed die attach pad) should be connected to a minimum 120 mm² solid copper pour on the PCB's inner or outer layer, using ≥8 thermal vias (0.3-mm diameter, filled or capped) spaced evenly beneath the pad. Exceeding this area provides diminishing returns; TI's RθJB = 16°C/W rating assumes exactly this layout, and larger pours do not significantly improve junction-to-board thermal resistance.
