Product details
Overview
TPS5420MDREPG4 from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, wide-input-range 2-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 110-mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET, fixed 500-kHz switching frequency, and internal compensation. It operates from 5.5 V to 35 V input and delivers adjustable output down to 1.22 V with ±1.5% initial accuracy, supporting industrial power supplies and battery-charged LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS5420MDREPG4 datasheet, TPS5420MDREPG4 pinout, TPS5420MDREPG4 application, or TPS5420MDREPG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -55°C to 125°C operating junction temperature, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with hiccup mode, thermal shutdown at 135°C, and ENA-controlled shutdown current of 18 µA - all critical for space-grade and harsh-environment power design.
Technical Context
The TPS5420MDREPG4 implements voltage-mode PWM control with internal type-3 compensation, eliminating external loop components. Its voltage feed-forward circuit maintains constant power-stage gain across input voltage variations, improving transient response and simplifying stability analysis.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 5.5 V start threshold and 330 mV hysteresis, an internal slow-start ramp (8 ms typical), and a precision 1.221 V bandgap reference trimmed at room temperature. The PH pin serves as the high-side MOSFET source node, requiring external inductor, catch diode, and boot capacitor (0.01 µF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 35 V - supports 12 V/24 V distributed systems and wide-range industrial inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous / 3 A peak - enables single-chip conversion for mid-power loads like LCD displays and car audio amplifiers. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 500 kHz - allows smaller output inductors (e.g., 33 µH) and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Voltage Reference Accuracy | ±1.5% initial tolerance at 1.221 V - ensures tight output regulation under load transients and temperature extremes. |
| Quiescent Current (Shutdown) | 18 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 135°C trip point with 14°C hysteresis - provides robust self-protection during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| High-Side rDS(on) | 110 mΩ at VIN ≥ 10 V - contributes to up to 95% efficiency and reduces thermal stress on SOIC package. |
Pinout & Package
TPS5420MDREPG4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal impedance is 75°C/W (junction-to-ambient, 2-layer PCB). Pin functions are validated per TI SLVS717 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.01-µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to PH pin to generate gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
| NC (2, 3) | No-connect terminals | 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. |
| ENA | Enable control | Active-high logic input; < 0.5 V disables regulator and reduces IQ to 18 µA; floating enables operation. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for IC core, MOSFET source, and external components; requires low-impedance PCB plane. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 5.5–35 V; requires local 10-µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| PH | Phase node / switch output | Drives external inductor and catch diode; high dv/dt switching node - demands minimized trace area and proximity to L/D/COUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 110-mΩ high-side MOSFET | Eliminates external switch, reduces BOM count, and improves thermal performance in compact SOIC layout. |
| Internal voltage feed-forward | Maintains constant modulator gain across VIN range, enabling predictable transient response without re-tuning compensation. |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | Detects MOSFET VDS during each switching cycle, limiting peak current to 3–5.2 A and preventing catastrophic failure. |
| Hiccup-mode fault recovery | After sustained overcurrent, enters timed shutdown (13–22 ms) before automatic restart - prevents thermal runaway. |
| Internal slow-start (6.6–10.6 ms) | Ramps reference voltage linearly to limit inrush current into output capacitors and avoid input rail sag. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54202DRCT | Commercial-grade (–40°C to 125°C), same 500-kHz frequency and 2-A rating but lacks EP qualification and extended temp range. | Not suitable for space, military, or extended-temperature industrial use; lower cost for commercial consumer designs. | Select only when radiation hardness, DMS support, and –55°C operation are unnecessary. |
| LM2678SDX-5.0/NOPB | Fixed 5 V output (non-adjustable), 5-A rating, 260 kHz switching, external compensation required. | Better suited for higher-current, fixed-output applications where board space permits larger inductor and compensation network. | Choose when output voltage is fixed at 5 V and higher current capability outweighs need for compactness and internal compensation. |
Compared with TPS5420MDREPG4, TPS54202DRCT trades radiation hardening and extended temperature for lower cost and availability, while LM2678SDX-5.0/NOPB offers higher current and fixed output but increases design complexity with external loop components and lower switching frequency.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the TPS5420MDREPG4?
The TPS5420MDREPG4 has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 38 V. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the internal high-side MOSFET and control circuitry. Recommended operating input range remains 5.5 V to 35 V per datasheet specifications. Always include input transient suppression if system-level surges may approach the 38 V limit.
Does the TPS5420MDREPG4 require external compensation components?
No, the TPS5420MDREPG4 features fully internal type-3 compensation optimized for voltage-mode control. This eliminates external resistors and capacitors from the feedback loop, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. Designers must still select appropriate output LC values within the supported range (e.g., 10–100 µH inductor, 10–100 µF capacitor) to maintain stability.
How does the ENA pin function on the TPS5420MDREPG4?
The ENA pin on the TPS5420MDREPG4 is an active-high enable input with 1.3 V typical turn-on threshold and 0.5 V turn-off threshold. When pulled below 0.5 V, the device halts switching and enters shutdown mode with 18 µA quiescent current. Floating the pin enables operation via internal pull-up. Open-drain logic is recommended for reliable interfacing.
What is the purpose of the BOOT pin on the TPS5420MDREPG4?
The BOOT pin on the TPS5420MDREPG4 supplies gate drive voltage to the integrated high-side N-channel MOSFET. A 0.01-µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be connected between BOOT and PH pins to form a charge pump. X7R or X5R dielectrics are specified for stable capacitance across temperature and bias voltage.
Can the TPS5420MDREPG4 operate at ambient temperatures below –40°C?
Yes, the TPS5420MDREPG4 is qualified for operation from –55°C to 125°C junction temperature, making it suitable for cryogenic industrial and space applications. Its enhanced product-change notification, controlled baseline, and JEDEC-qualified pedigree ensure reliability under extreme thermal cycling and long-term storage conditions beyond commercial-grade parts.
