Product details
Overview
TPS53316RGTR from Texas Instruments is a high-efficiency, 5-A synchronous step-down regulator with integrated high- and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, 2.9 V to 6 V input range, adjustable output from 0.6 V to 0.8 × VIN, and support for all-MLCC output capacitors in a 3 mm × 3 mm QFN-16 package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS53316RGTR datasheet, TPS53316RGTR pinout, TPS53316RGTR application, or TPS53316RGTR equivalent, this device delivers 96% peak efficiency, selectable switching frequencies (750 kHz / 1.1 MHz / 2 MHz), configurable overcurrent thresholds (4.5 A or 6.5 A), prebias start-up capability, and integrated soft-stop output discharge - critical for compact, high-density power rails in portable and embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TPS53316RGTR employs voltage-mode control with a proprietary SmoothPWM™ auto-skip Eco-Mode™ for light-load efficiency optimization. Its internal architecture integrates dual N-MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 22 mΩ (3.3 VIN) / 18 mΩ (5 VIN), a 0.6 V precision reference, and a type-III compensation-compatible COMP pin.
Three operational modes - Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM), Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) via DE mode, and High-Efficiency Fixed-Frequency (HEF) mode - are selected via the PS pin resistor network. Frequency and overcurrent threshold are independently configured using external resistors on the RF/OC pin, enabling precise system-level trade-offs between transient response, efficiency, and EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9 V to 6 V - supports single-rail operation from 3.3 V or 5 V intermediate bus without auxiliary bias supply. |
| Output Current | Continuous 5 A - enables full-power delivery to SoCs, FPGAs, and DSPs without external current sharing. |
| Switching Frequencies | 750 kHz / 1.1 MHz / 2 MHz - selectable via RF/OC pin resistor; higher frequencies allow smaller inductors and faster transient response. |
| OCP Threshold Options | 4.5 A or 6.5 A - configurable per application safety margin and thermal budget; validated across input/output conditions. |
| Efficiency | 96% peak - achieved via low RDS(on), optimized gate drive, and SmoothPWM™ skip mode; >90% at 100 mA load. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 0.8 × VIN - supports core voltages for modern processors and memory interfaces with tight regulation tolerance. |
| Package | 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-pin QFN with PowerPad - RoHS-compliant, thermally enhanced for ≤125°C junction operation. |
Pinout & Package
TPS53316RGTR uses a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-pin QFN package (RGT suffix) with exposed thermal PowerPad. The package includes three SW pins (5, 6, 7), two VIN pins (13, 14), two PGND pins (15, 16), and dedicated analog ground (AGND, Pin 11) for noise-sensitive feedback paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable input | Logic-controlled startup; internally pulled up to VIN via 2.25 MΩ; supports UVLO-independent sequencing. |
| 2 RF/OC | Frequency & OCP configuration | 10-µA current source; resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency and overcurrent threshold simultaneously. |
| 3 PGD | Power good open-drain output | Asserts high when FB is within ±17% of 0.6 V reference; requires external pull-up for system monitoring. |
| 4 VBST | Bootstrap supply | Connects bootstrap capacitor between VBST and SW; enables high-side MOSFET gate drive above VIN. |
| 5–7 SW | Switch node | Three paralleled pins reduce inductance and thermal resistance for high-current inductor connection. |
| 8 PS | Mode selection | 10-µA current source; resistor network selects FCCM, DE, or HEF mode and soft-start multiplier. |
| 9 COMP | Error amplifier compensation | Type-III compensation node; connects external RC network for loop stability across load/transient conditions. |
| 10 FB | Voltage feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; sets OVP/UVP thresholds and PGD logic based on 0.6 V reference. |
| 11 AGND | Analog ground | Separate ground return for feedback, compensation, and reference circuitry to minimize noise coupling. |
| 12 VREG3 | 3.3 V LDO output | Internal analog supply; enabled by EN; powers internal circuitry and can serve as bias for external components. |
| 13–14 VIN | Main input supply | Dual pins reduce IR drop and improve current handling for 2.9–6 V input; also supplies gate driver. |
| 15–16 PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; separate from AGND to avoid ground bounce. |
| PowerPad | Thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane using ≥4 vias; primary thermal path for junction-to-board conduction (RθJB = 18.3°C/W). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS53355RGLR | 6 A rated, 2.9–6 V input, same 3 mm × 3 mm QFN but with differential sensing and enhanced light-load efficiency. | Preferred for higher-current FPGA cores (>5 A) or where differential remote sensing is required for <±5 mV accuracy. | Select TPS53355RGLR when output current exceeds 5 A or when layout-induced FB trace resistance demands differential sensing. |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 5 A, 4.5–26 V input, smaller 2 mm × 2 mm QFN-8, no PS/RF/OC configurability - fixed 500 kHz fSW and 6.5 A OCP. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, wide-input industrial sensors where programmability and multi-frequency flexibility are unnecessary. | Choose MP2315GJ-Z for simplified design-in, lower unit cost, and wider input range - but accept fixed configuration and reduced feature set. |
Compared with TPS53316RGTR, TPS53355RGLR offers higher current headroom and differential sensing for precision loads, while MP2315GJ-Z trades configurability for size and input voltage range - making TPS53316RGTR optimal for balanced performance, density, and design flexibility in 3.3 V/5 V intermediate bus systems.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the TPS53316RGTR support?
The TPS53316RGTR supports an input voltage range of 2.9 V to 6 V, enabling direct operation from common intermediate rails like 3.3 V and 5 V without auxiliary bias supplies. Its VIN UVLO threshold is 2.8 V with 120 mV hysteresis, ensuring reliable startup and shutdown behavior across temperature and line variations. This range is validated across all operating modes and output configurations specified in the SLUSAP5A datasheet.
How is the switching frequency configured on the TPS53316RGTR?
The TPS53316RGTR switching frequency is configured via external resistors connected to the RF/OC pin, which sources a 10-µA current. Specific resistor values select 750 kHz, 1.1 MHz, or 2 MHz operation - for example, 24.3 kΩ to GND yields 750 kHz with 4.5 A OCP, while 105 kΩ sets 2 MHz with 4.5 A OCP. All combinations are factory-characterized and documented in Table 1 of the datasheet.
Does the TPS53316RGTR support prebias start-up?
Yes, the TPS53316RGTR supports prebias start-up functionality, allowing safe turn-on into an already charged output rail without reverse current flow or output voltage overshoot. This behavior is enabled by internal circuitry that monitors SW and FB during enable assertion and is verified across input voltages from 2.9 V to 6 V and output voltages from 0.6 V to 3.3 V.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS53316RGTR?
The TPS53316RGTR integrates overcurrent (high- and low-side FET), overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature (140°C shutdown with 40°C hysteresis), and input UVLO protection. Each is independently tested and characterized - for instance, OCP triggers within 1.7 µs of fault detection, and thermal shutdown activates at 130–150°C junction temperature with automatic hiccup recovery after 14.5 ms.
Can the TPS53316RGTR operate with only ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the TPS53316RGTR is explicitly designed to support all-MLCC output capacitor configurations, requiring only two 22-µF ceramic capacitors for full 5-A operation. This capability is enabled by its voltage-mode control architecture, optimized loop compensation, and low-noise reference - eliminating the need for bulk electrolytic or tantalum capacitors and improving reliability and temperature stability.
