Product details
Overview
TPS54239EDDAR from Texas Instruments is a 2-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side (140 mΩ) and low-side (70 mΩ) N-channel MOSFETs, operating from 4.5 V to 23 V input and delivering adjustable output voltage from 0.76 V to 7.0 V. It employs D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control for fast transient response and supports ceramic output capacitors in digital TV power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54239EDDAR datasheet, TPS54239EDDAR pinout, TPS54239EDDAR application, or TPS54239EDDAR equivalent, key selection considerations include Eco-mode™ light-load efficiency (<10 μA shutdown current), 600-kHz switching frequency, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, pre-biased soft-start capability, and thermal pad–enabled thermal management in the SO PowerPAD™ DDA package.
Technical Context
The TPS54239EDDAR implements D-CAP2™ mode control combining adaptive on-time PWM with internal pseudo-fixed-frequency operation-on-time scales inversely with VIN and proportionally with VOUT to maintain ~600 kHz across input and load conditions. Its control loop requires no external compensation and remains stable with ultra-low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Eco-mode™ enables automatic transition from continuous conduction mode (CCM) to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads, reducing switching losses while maintaining regulation. Protection features include valley-current–based cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting, non-latching thermal shutdown (165°C), output overvoltage (125% VOUT), and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) tied to VREG5 voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 23 V - supports wide industrial and consumer DC bus inputs including 12 V and 19 V rails. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, FPGAs, and memory subsystems in embedded video systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz nominal - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile without external clock synchronization. |
| FET RDS(on) | 140 mΩ (HS), 70 mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 95% at 1.8 V/2 A. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V ±1.7 mV - high-accuracy bandgap reference enabling tight output regulation (±1%) across temperature. |
| Shutdown Current | <10 μA - ensures minimal system standby power draw in always-on applications like STB wake-on-LAN. |
| Soft-Start Control | Adjustable via external SS capacitor - prevents inrush current and enables pre-biased output startup without sinking current. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS54239EDDAR is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ (DDA) package with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 46.2°C/W). The package supports –40°C to +85°C ambient operation and requires reflow per JEDEC Level-2-260°C-1-year MSL rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBST (Pin 1) | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate driver | Requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VBST and SW; enables efficient high-side FET drive above VIN. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input | Supplies both power stage and internal circuitry; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic + 0.1 µF high-frequency bypass. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects drain of HS-FET and source of LS-FET; critical high-di/dt node requiring minimized trace area and Kelvin feedback routing. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground return | Single-point analog/power ground tie point; thermal pad must be soldered directly to PGND plane with ≥4 thermal vias. |
| VFB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 0.765 V reference sets VOUT = 0.765 × (1 + R1/R2); sensitive to noise-route away from SW. |
| VREG5 (Pin 6) | Internal 5.5 V LDO output | Powers internal logic and gate drivers; requires 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor to GND; inactive when EN = low. |
| EN (Pin 7) | Enable input | Active-high logic control (VENH = 1.6 V min); internal 200–800 kΩ pull-down allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO. |
| SS (Pin 8) | Soft-start timing | 6 µA current source charges external capacitor; start-up time tSS = 1.1 × CSS × VREF/6 µA; supports pre-biased output ramp-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control | Eliminates need for external compensation network while supporting ceramic output capacitors down to 22 µF with stable phase margin. |
| Eco-mode™ light-load operation | Automatically enters DCM below ~300 mA load, reducing quiescent current to <25 µA and maintaining >85% efficiency at 10 mA output. |
| Pre-biased soft-start | Prevents reverse current flow during startup into powered outputs-critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing in STB and Blu-ray players. |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | Detects valley current through LS-FET VDS; triggers hiccup mode after 7 consecutive cycles exceeding 2.5–4.6 A limit, protecting against short-circuit faults. |
| Integrated 5.5 V VREG5 LDO | Self-powered gate driver supply eliminates need for external bias rail; enables single-supply operation from 4.5 V input without auxiliary winding. |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended input voltage for the TPS54239EDDAR?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) for the TPS54239EDDAR is 25 V, but the recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 23 V. Exceeding 23 V risks violating the 25 V absolute max rating under transient conditions and may trigger UVLO or reduce reliability. Designers should ensure input filtering suppresses transients above 23 V, especially in automotive or industrial 24 V systems where load-dump spikes occur. The TPS54239EDDAR itself does not include integrated overvoltage clamping.
Does the TPS54239EDDAR support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the TPS54239EDDAR supports pre-biased soft-start. When the output voltage is already present at startup, the device detects VFB > internal soft-start voltage and gradually enables synchronous rectification using narrow, incrementally widening low-side gate pulses. This prevents reverse current flow from the output into the converter, avoiding voltage droop or system reset. This behavior is confirmed in the functional description and startup waveform figures of the SLVSBT1 datasheet for TPS54239EDDAR.
What is the purpose of the VREG5 pin on the TPS54239EDDAR?
The VREG5 pin on the TPS54239EDDAR is an internally generated 5.5 V regulated output used to power the gate drivers and internal logic circuits. It eliminates the need for an external bias supply and enables single-rail operation from as low as 4.5 V input. A 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VREG5 and GND. VREG5 is disabled when EN is low, and its UVLO threshold (3.45–4.05 V) provides system-level undervoltage protection for the entire TPS54239EDDAR.
How does Eco-mode™ improve efficiency at light loads in the TPS54239EDDAR?
Eco-mode™ in the TPS54239EDDAR improves light-load efficiency by automatically transitioning from continuous conduction mode (CCM) to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) when output current drops below ~300 mA. In DCM, the low-side FET is turned off once inductor current reaches zero, eliminating reverse recovery losses and reducing switching activity. This lowers quiescent current to <25 µA and maintains >85% efficiency at 10 mA output-critical for standby operation in digital TV and STB applications where the TPS54239EDDAR operates continuously.
What thermal management requirements apply to the TPS54239EDDAR's exposed PowerPAD™?
For reliable operation, the TPS54239EDDAR's exposed thermal pad must be soldered directly to a solid copper PGND plane on the PCB, with at least four 0.3-mm diameter thermal vias connecting it to inner or bottom-layer ground planes. TI specifies θJA = 46.2°C/W for this configuration. Failure to properly connect the pad increases junction temperature by >30°C at 2 A load, risking thermal shutdown or accelerated aging. Layout guidelines in SLVSBT1 emphasize single-point analog-to-power ground tie and avoidance of switching current paths under the device.
