Product details
Overview
TPS53689TRSBR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, 8-phase VR14 SVID-compliant step-down controller with TLVR topology support, D-CAP+™ control architecture, PMBus® v1.3.1 interface, and integrated non-volatile memory (NVM). It delivers 0.25V–5.5V output across two interleaved channels (N+M ≤ 8), supports smart power stages, and enables dynamic phase shedding for data center server VR applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS53689TRSBR datasheet, TPS53689TRSBR pinout, TPS53689TRSBR application, or TPS53689TRSBR equivalent, key selection criteria include VR14/VR13.HC SVID compliance, per-phase valley current limit programmability, IMON calibration capability, soft-shutdown on overvoltage fault, and TLVR-optimized transient response in high-density multiphase designs.
Technical Context
The TPS53689TRSBR implements a dual-output D-CAP+™ control architecture with adaptive voltage positioning (AVP) and programmable output voltage slew rate. It natively supports trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) topologies via dual-side power delivery with ≥12" trace length tolerance and diode braking with configurable timeout.
Its PMBus® v1.3.1 interface enables real-time telemetry of voltage, current, power, temperature, and faults, while NVM stores configuration defaults-including per-phase IMON multi-slope gain calibration, loop compensation, and dynamic phase shedding thresholds-eliminating external EEPROM and reducing BOM count.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP+™ Control Architecture | Enables fast transient response (<1µs rise time) with minimal output capacitance and eliminates need for external compensation components. |
| Dynamic Phase Shedding | Programmable load-threshold-based phase activation/deactivation improves efficiency by >15% at light loads while maintaining stability at full 8-phase operation. |
| TLVR Topology Support | Native dual-side power delivery with 12"+ trace length tolerance reduces ESR/ESL impact and enables lower-profile inductor solutions for space-constrained NICs and accelerators. |
| Per-Phase Valley Current Limit (OCL) | Individually programmable OCL thresholds prevent phase overload during asymmetric load transients and ensure robust current sharing under mismatched conditions. |
| Soft-Shutdown on Overvoltage Fault | New fault-handling mode ramps down output gradually instead of hard cutoff, preventing system reset or data corruption during transient overvoltage events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiphase VR controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS53679RSBR | 7-phase max (N+M ≤ 7), no TLVR support, identical package and PMBus/SVID feature set. | Lacks dual-side power delivery and 12"+ trace tolerance; suitable only for conventional buck topologies. | Select when TLVR is not required and phase count ≤7 suffices for target load current. |
| ISL99390IRZ | 8-phase VR14 controller with integrated drivers; no NVM; uses SMBus 2.0 (not PMBus v1.3.1); different pinout and package (QFN-48). | Requires external driver stages for discrete MOSFETs; lacks per-phase IMON calibration and soft-shutdown. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where telemetry depth and NVM persistence are secondary to integration level. |
Compared with TPS53689TRSBR, TPS53679RSBR offers reduced phase scalability and no TLVR optimization, while ISL99390IRZ trades NVM, advanced telemetry, and TLVR support for higher integration but less configurability and incompatible interface/pinout.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported phase count for TPS53689TRSBR?
The TPS53689TRSBR supports up to eight total phases across its dual-channel architecture, with N + M ≤ 8 and M ≤ 4. This allows flexible configurations such as 5+3 or 4+4 phases per output, optimized for thermal distribution and current sharing in high-power server and accelerator applications. Each phase connects to TI smart power stages via dedicated PWM and IMON signals.
Does TPS53689TRSBR support both VR14 and VR13.HC SVID protocols?
Yes, TPS53689TRSBR is fully compliant with Intel VR14 SVID and maintains backward compatibility with VR13.HC and VR13.0 SVID protocols. It supports PSYS reporting, dynamic VID updates, and all mandatory command sets defined in the VR14 specification, enabling seamless integration with compatible host processors and platform firmware without modification.
How does TLVR topology support benefit TPS53689TRSBR designs?
TLVR topology support in TPS53689TRSBR enables dual-side power delivery with ≥12" trace length tolerance, reducing loop inductance and improving transient response in compact, high-current layouts. This allows use of lower-profile inductors and fewer bulk capacitors while maintaining stability-critical for NICs, accelerators, and dense server VRMs where board space and EMI are constrained.
Can TPS53689TRSBR store configuration settings in non-volatile memory?
Yes, TPS53689TRSBR includes on-chip non-volatile memory (NVM) that retains all programmable parameters-including per-phase IMON calibration coefficients, dynamic phase shedding thresholds, loop compensation values, and fault response modes-across power cycles. This eliminates the need for external EEPROM and simplifies system initialization, especially in headless or BMC-managed server environments.
What fault protection features are implemented in TPS53689TRSBR?
TPS53689TRSBR implements overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), overtemperature (OTP), and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection. It features automatic NVM fault status logging with timestamps and a new soft-shutdown option for OVP events-ramping down output voltage gradually to prevent system reset or data loss during transient excursions.
