Product details
Overview
TPS5420MDREP from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, high-efficiency 2-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 110-mΩ N-channel MOSFET, fixed 500-kHz switching frequency, and wide 5.5 V to 35 V input range. It delivers adjustable output down to 1.22 V with 1.5% initial accuracy and operates across –55°C to 125°C junction temperature for space-grade power conversion in 12-V/24-V distributed systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS5420MDREP datasheet, TPS5420MDREP pinout, TPS5420MDREP application, or TPS5420MDREP equivalent, key selection considerations include its internal voltage feed-forward architecture for improved transient response, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with hiccup mode, thermal shutdown at 135°C, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with industrial and aerospace PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS5420MDREP implements voltage-mode PWM control with an internally compensated Type-III network optimized for stable operation between 3 kHz and 30 kHz crossover frequencies. Its feed-forward gain of 25 maintains constant power-stage gain across input voltage variations, simplifying loop stability analysis and improving line transient response.
It integrates a high-side N-channel MOSFET with rDS(on) of 110 mΩ (VIN = 10–35 V), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 5.5 V start threshold and 330 mV hysteresis, and an active-high ENA pin enabling shutdown current as low as 18 µA. Internal slow-start ramps reference voltage linearly over 8 ms (typical) to limit inrush current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 35 V - supports unregulated 12-V/24-V bus inputs and battery-derived supplies without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous / 3 A peak - enables single-chip regulation for mid-power digital logic, FPGAs, and analog subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (fixed) - allows compact 33 µH inductors and reduces output filter size versus lower-frequency converters. |
| Voltage Reference Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature and load - ensures tight output regulation for precision analog rails and ADC references. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved via low RDS(on) MOSFET and minimized gate drive losses, reducing thermal load on PCB. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to 125°C - qualified per JEDEC extended-temperature standards for space, avionics, and harsh-environment deployment. |
| Quiescent Current (Shutdown) | 18 µA typical - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on systems such as telemetry receivers and watchdog circuits. |
Pinout & Package
TPS5420MDREP is housed in an industry-standard 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed pad not present; thermal dissipation relies on PCB copper area (θJA = 75°C/W on 2-layer 3″ × 3″ board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor to PH to generate gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; critical for proper switching. |
| NC (Pins 2, 3) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no routing or soldering required. |
| VSENSE | Feedback input | Monitors resistor-divider output voltage; regulates VOUT by maintaining 1.221 V at this pin under steady-state conditions. |
| ENA | Enable control | Active-high logic input; <0.5 V disables regulator and reduces IQ to 18 µA; internal pull-up allows floating for default-enable operation. |
| GND | Power ground | Main return path for input bypass, output filter, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 5.5–35 V; requires ≥10-µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| PH | Power switch node | Drain of internal high-side MOSFET; connects to external inductor and catch diode-analog switching node demanding minimal trace area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 110-mΩ High-Side MOSFET | Eliminates need for external power switch, reduces BOM count, and improves efficiency over discrete solutions at 2-A load. |
| Voltage Feed-Forward Control | Compensates for input-voltage-dependent gain variation, enabling consistent transient response across 5.5–35 V input range. |
| Internal Compensation | Removes requirement for external compensation network-simplifies layout and accelerates design cycle for robust 3–30 kHz loop bandwidth. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overcurrent Protection | Enters timed shutdown (16 ms typ.) during sustained overload or short-circuit, preventing thermal runaway while allowing automatic recovery. |
| –55°C to 125°C Qualified Operation | Validated per JEDEC extended-temperature protocols including HAST, temperature cycling, and electromigration-suitable for spaceflight and military platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | 40-V input, 0.6-A output, 1-MHz switching, requires external MOSFETs | Better suited for low-current, high-input-voltage automotive applications where footprint and efficiency at light load matter more than output current. | Select when >35-V input tolerance or AEC-Q100 qualification is mandatory; not drop-in due to different pinout and external FET requirement. |
| TPS5430MDREPR | 3-A output, same SOIC-8 package, identical pinout and control architecture | Direct upgrade path for designs needing higher current headroom without layout change-shares same ENA, VSENSE, BOOT functions. | Choose when future-proofing for >2-A loads or margining against worst-case thermal derating; pin-compatible with identical feedback network. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1, TPS5420MDREP delivers 3.3× higher output current in the same SOIC-8 footprint but lacks AEC-Q100 certification; versus TPS5430MDREPR, it trades 1-A output capability for lower quiescent current and reduced thermal stress in thermally constrained 2-A applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS5420MDREP?
The TPS5420MDREP delivers up to 2 A continuous output current and supports 3 A peak current under transient conditions. This rating is validated across the full –55°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range and assumes proper PCB thermal design per TI's recommended 2-layer test board (θJA = 75°C/W). Exceeding 2 A continuously may trigger thermal shutdown or reduce reliability.
Does the TPS5420MDREP require external compensation components?
No, the TPS5420MDREP features fully internal Type-III compensation optimized for stable operation with standard output filter configurations. Engineers do not need to add external resistors or capacitors to the feedback loop-only the R1/R2 resistor divider for output voltage setting is required. This eliminates tuning complexity and improves design repeatability across production batches.
Can the TPS5420MDREP operate with a 5-V input supply?
No-the TPS5420MDREP has a minimum input voltage of 5.5 V due to its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold. At input voltages below 5.5 V, the device remains disabled. During cold-crank events in automotive systems, the input may dip below this level; therefore, TPS5420MDREP is unsuitable for direct 5-V rail regulation but appropriate for 12-V or 24-V bus conversion where VIN stays above 5.5 V.
What is the purpose of the BOOT pin on the TPS5420MDREP?
The BOOT pin on the TPS5420MDREP serves as the bootstrap node for the high-side MOSFET gate driver. A 0.01-µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be connected between BOOT and PH pins to generate the required gate-to-source voltage (>10 V) for full enhancement of the internal N-channel switch. Incorrect BOOT capacitor placement or value causes erratic switching or failure to start.
Is the TPS5420MDREP pin-compatible with other devices in the SWIFT™ family?
Yes-the TPS5420MDREP shares identical pinout and functional mapping with the TPS5430MDREPR (3-A version) and TPS5410MDREP (1-A version) in SOIC-8 packaging. All three use the same BOOT, VSENSE, ENA, and PH terminal assignments and support identical feedback networks and external component footprints, enabling scalable current design reuse without PCB redesign.
