Product details
Overview
TPS54110PWP from Texas Instruments is a 3-V to 6-V input, 1.5-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package. It delivers adjustable 0.9-V to 3.3-V output with ±1% reference accuracy, supports externally compensated loop design, and integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs for high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54110PWP datasheet, TPS54110PWP pinout, TPS54110PWP application, or TPS54110PWP equivalent, key selection considerations include its 350/550 kHz fixed or 280–700 kHz adjustable switching frequency, integrated VBIAS regulator, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.95-V start threshold, power-good (PWRGD) open-drain output, and thermal shutdown at 150°C.
Technical Context
The TPS54110PWP implements a voltage-mode PWM control architecture with a high-performance error amplifier (90–110 dB open-loop gain, 3–5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth) and externally configurable compensation network. Its adaptive dead-time logic prevents shoot-through by sequencing high- and low-side MOSFET gate drivers with 300-mA source/sink capability.
Switching frequency is selectable via SYNC pin logic level (350 kHz or 550 kHz) or resistor-programmed RT pin (280–700 kHz), while internal slow-start (3.35 ms typical) and external capacitor extension provide controlled inrush current limiting. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limit (3.0–3.5 A trip), UVLO hysteresis (0.12 V), and thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis.

Pinout & Package
TPS54110PWP is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad on underside for enhanced heat dissipation. The package requires soldering the PowerPAD™ to a large PCB copper area connected to PGND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (Pin 1) | Analog ground reference | Internally connects to precision analog circuitry; must be tied to PGND and PowerPAD™ with low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| VSENSE (Pin 2) | Error amplifier inverting input | Monitors feedback voltage from output divider; sets regulated output via 0.891-V reference. |
| COMP (Pin 3) | Error amplifier output | Drives external Type-II/III compensation network between COMP and VSENSE to stabilize control loop. |
| PWRGD (Pin 4) | Power-good open-drain output | Signals valid regulation when VSENSE ≥ 93% Vref; used for processor reset, supply sequencing, or fault indication. |
| BOOT (Pin 5) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 0.022–0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to PH to generate floating gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| PH (Pins 6–10) | Phase node | Switching node connecting internal MOSFETs to external inductor; high di/dt path requiring short, wide PCB traces. |
| RT (Pin 20) | Frequency set resistor input | Connects to AGND via resistor (68 kΩ–180 kΩ) to program switching frequency from 280 kHz to 700 kHz. |
| SS/ENA (Pin 18) | Slow-start/enable control | Logic-enable input (1.2 V threshold) and capacitor-based soft-start timing node to limit inrush current. |
| VBIAS (Pin 17) | Internal bias regulator output | Provides 2.7–2.9 V for internal circuitry; requires 0.1–1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to AGND for stability. |
| VIN (Pins 14–16) | Main input supply | Power input for MOSFET switches and internal regulators; requires local 1–10 µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitors to PGND. |
| PGND (Pins 11–13) | Power ground return | High-current return path for low-side MOSFET and input/output capacitors; must connect directly to PowerPAD™ and bulk ground planes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs | rDS(on) = 240–480 mΩ (high-side) and 345–690 mΩ (low-side) at 6 V VIN enables compact, high-efficiency 1.5-A buck conversion without external switches. |
| Externally compensated error amplifier | Supports flexible Type-II or Type-III compensation networks to optimize transient response and phase margin for diverse output filter configurations. |
| Programmable switching frequency | Three configuration modes - fixed 350/550 kHz or resistor-adjustable 280–700 kHz - allow EMI reduction and inductor size optimization. |
| Power-good (PWRGD) monitoring | Open-drain output asserts high only when VSENSE ≥ 93% Vref, VIN > UVLO, and SS/ENA enabled - enables reliable system power sequencing. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and restarts at 140°C - protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking without latch-up. |

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum output capacitance for stable operation of the TPS54110PWP?
The TPS54110PWP requires a minimum 100-µF output capacitor (e.g., aluminum polymer or low-ESR tantalum) to maintain stability and meet ripple specifications under full 1.5-A load. TI's reference design uses 100 µF in parallel with 2200 pF for high-frequency noise suppression. Ceramic capacitors alone are insufficient due to insufficient bulk capacitance; hybrid or polymer types are preferred for ESR and capacitance retention across temperature.
Does the TPS54110PWP support synchronization to an external clock signal?
Yes, the TPS54110PWP supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin over a 330 kHz to 700 kHz range. To synchronize, drive a clean CMOS-level clock into SYNC and connect an RT resistor that sets the free-running frequency to 80% of the external clock frequency. This avoids beat frequencies and ensures deterministic phase alignment in multi-rail systems using the TPS54110PWP.
How does the TPS54110PWP handle reverse current during light-load conditions?
The TPS54110PWP operates in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and does not enter diode emulation or discontinuous conduction mode. It actively sinks current continuously during output voltage overshoot or transient recovery, enabling true bidirectional regulation. This behavior is confirmed in the datasheet's "Detailed Description" section and allows safe operation with capacitive loads or during dynamic load steps without output voltage reversal.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the BOOT pin of the TPS54110PWP?
The absolute maximum voltage on the BOOT pin of the TPS54110PWP is 17 V, as specified in Section 7.1 of the datasheet. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage to the high-side gate driver. In normal operation, BOOT voltage equals PH voltage plus the bootstrap capacitor voltage (typically ~5 V), so proper selection of the 0.022–0.1 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor and attention to PH ringing are essential to stay within this limit.
Can the TPS54110PWP be used with an output voltage lower than 0.9 V?
No, the TPS54110PWP is not specified or guaranteed to operate below 0.9 V output. Its internal reference is trimmed to 0.891 V ±0.009 V, and the error amplifier is characterized for 0.9 V to 3.3 V adjustment range. Attempting sub-0.9 V operation may result in reduced accuracy, instability, or failure to regulate due to comparator headroom limitations and reference tolerance boundaries - as confirmed in the "Features" and "Electrical Characteristics" sections of the TPS54110PWP datasheet.
