Product details
Overview
TPS5403DR from Texas Instruments is a non-synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated 120-mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET, fixed 3.3-V output, 4.5–28-V input range, and 1.7-A continuous output current. It implements peak current-mode control, pulse-skipping mode for light-load efficiency, and frequency spread spectrum to reduce EMI-used in distributed power systems for consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TPS5403DR datasheet, TPS5403DR pinout, TPS5403DR application, or TPS5403DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-8 package, programmable switching frequency (70 kHz to 1.1 MHz), thermal shutdown at 165°C, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and external soft-start capability via SS pin.
Technical Context
The TPS5403DR uses constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation to stabilize operation above 50% duty cycle and simplify loop compensation. Its error amplifier features 92 µA/V transconductance and supports external frequency compensation via the COMP pin.
Switching frequency is set by an external resistor on ROSC or fixed at 70 kHz (ROSC grounded) or 120 kHz (ROSC open). During short-circuit events, frequency foldback reduces fSW to 1/8th nominal value as VSENSE drops below 0.825 V, limiting inductor current runaway while maintaining regulation recovery capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% - precision reference enables direct powering of 3.3-V logic, microcontrollers, and peripherals. |
| Max Output Current | 1.7 A continuous - sufficient for mid-power digital subsystems including set-top boxes and CPE equipment. |
| Switching Frequency | 70 kHz (ROSC = GND) to 1.1 MHz (ROSC = resistor) - adjustable trade-off between efficiency, size, and EMI performance. |
| Efficiency @ 10 mA | >80% - pulse-skipping mode minimizes quiescent loss in battery-backed or standby applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C trip point - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without requiring external sensing. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 120 mΩ typical - reduces conduction loss and simplifies thermal management in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TPS5403DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27-mm lead pitch, JEDEC MS-012 AA compliant, 1.75-mm max height, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 116.7°C/W under JEDEC high-K board conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Requires 0.1-µF ceramic cap between BOOT and LX to generate gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–28 V; UVLO activates at 3.5 V with 200-mV hysteresis to prevent erratic startup. |
| ROSC | Frequency programming | Connect to GND for 70-kHz default, leave open for 120-kHz, or use resistor for 50–1100-kHz tuning. |
| SS | Soft-start control | 2-µA internal current source charges external capacitor to control output ramp time (1–10 ms recommended). |
| VSENSE | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistive divider; regulates to 0.8-V internal reference for 3.3-V output (R1/R2 = 3.125). |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects external RC network for loop compensation; transconductance = 92 µA/V. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return for VIN, LX, and feedback path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| LX | Switching node | Drives external inductor; anti-ringing circuit activates at zero-crossing to suppress high-frequency LC resonance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pulse skipping mode | Activates below 300-mA peak inductor current to maintain >80% efficiency at 10-mA load, reducing idle power in always-on systems. |
| Frequency spread spectrum | ±6% jitter around nominal fSW with 1/512 swing frequency - lowers EMI peak amplitude without altering average switching behavior. |
| Integrated boot diode | Eliminates need for external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| LX anti-ringing circuit | Internal MOSFET connects LX to VSENSE at inductor current zero-crossing - damps parasitic ringing to meet Class B radiated EMI limits. |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | Clamps COMP voltage during overload, limiting peak inductor current to 2.2–3.1 A depending on VIN - prevents MOSFET failure during transient shorts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678-3.3 | Fixed 3.3-V output, 5-A rating, 63-mΩ high-side FET, requires external bootstrap diode, no spread spectrum. | Higher current capacity but larger solution size; lacks pulse-skipping and EMI-reduction features. | Choose LM2678-3.3 when >2-A output and higher efficiency at full load are prioritized over light-load efficiency and EMI compliance. |
| TPS54231DR | Pin-compatible upgrade with synchronous rectification, 2-A rating, 3.3-V fixed output, 4.5–28-V input, integrated low-side FET. | Enables higher efficiency across full load range; eliminates external catch diode and reduces thermal stress. | Choose TPS54231DR when upgrading legacy TPS5403DR designs for improved full-load efficiency and reduced component count. |
Compared with LM2678-3.3 and TPS54231DR, the TPS5403DR offers optimized light-load efficiency via pulse skipping and built-in EMI mitigation-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications where 1.7-A output suffices and synchronous losses are less critical than standby power.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS5403DR?
The TPS5403DR supports up to 1.7 A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to 85°C, VIN = 4.5 V to 28 V). This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with θJA ≤ 116.7°C/W and adequate copper area for heat dissipation. Peak inductor current limit is 2.2–3.1 A depending on input voltage, but sustained operation above 1.7 A may trigger thermal shutdown or reduce reliability.
How does the TPS5403DR achieve high efficiency at light load conditions?
The TPS5403DR achieves high light-load efficiency through pulse skipping mode, which activates when peak inductor current falls below ~300 mA. In this mode, the COMP pin voltage is clamped at 0.5 V, disabling switching cycles until output droop demands regulation. This reduces switching losses and yields >80% efficiency at 10-mA load-critical for standby and battery-powered applications using the TPS5403DR.
Can the TPS5403DR operate with an input voltage lower than 4.5 V?
No, the TPS5403DR cannot operate reliably below 4.5 V input. Its UVLO threshold is 3.5 V with 200-mV hysteresis, but the device requires ≥4.5 V to sustain regulation and deliver rated output current. Below 4.5 V, the high-side MOSFET's RDS(on) increases significantly, causing excessive conduction loss and potential thermal shutdown. The TPS5403DR datasheet explicitly specifies 4.5 V as the minimum operating input voltage.
What is the purpose of the ROSC pin on the TPS5403DR, and how should it be configured?
The ROSC pin on the TPS5403DR sets the switching frequency: grounding it fixes fSW at 70 kHz, leaving it open sets 120 kHz, and connecting an external resistor enables tuning from 50 kHz to 1.1 MHz per the formula fSW ≈ 1.167 × 10⁶ / ROSC (kΩ). This flexibility allows designers to optimize the TPS5403DR for EMI compliance, inductor size, or efficiency-without changing the IC itself.
Does the TPS5403DR include overvoltage transient protection, and how does it function?
Yes, the TPS5403DR includes overvoltage transient protection (OVTP). When VSENSE exceeds 109% of the internal 0.8-V reference (i.e., >0.872 V), the high-side MOSFET is forced off to clamp output voltage. Recovery occurs when VSENSE falls below 107% of reference (~0.856 V). This feature protects downstream 3.3-V circuitry during load dump or fast unload transients-enhancing system robustness in the TPS5403DR-based power stage.
