Product details
Overview
TPS54286PWPG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual non-synchronous buck converter IC with two integrated 100-mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFETs, supporting 4.5 V to 28 V input and delivering up to 2 A per channel. It features fixed 600 kHz switching frequency, 0.8 V ±1.5% internal voltage reference, and dual PWM outputs operating 180° out-of-phase-used in set-top box power rails and DSP core supply.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54286PWPG4 datasheet, TPS54286PWPG4 pinout, TPS54286PWPG4 application, or TPS54286PWPG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel current-mode control, selectable overcurrent protection on Channel 2 (1.5 A or 3.0 A), ratiometric/sequential startup via SEQ pin, and thermal shutdown at 148°C.
Technical Context
The TPS54286PWPG4 implements current-mode control with internal slope compensation and fully integrated loop compensation-eliminating external compensation components. Its dual PWM channels share a single 5.25-V BP regulator and 0.8-V precision reference, while operating on alternating clock cycles for inherent 180° phase shift.
Startup sequencing is programmable via the SEQ pin (BP/GND/floating) to support ratiometric, master-slave sequential, or independent enable behavior. Overcurrent protection differs per channel: Channel 1 fixed at 3.0 A, Channel 2 configurable via ILIM2 pin (GND = 1.5 A, floating = 3.0 A, BP = 1.5 A), enabling asymmetric load optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports wide industrial and consumer DC bus inputs including 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz (TPS54286 variant) - enables smaller magnetics and faster transient response vs. 300 kHz TPS54283. |
| Output Current | Up to 2 A per channel - sufficient for powering DSP cores, FPGAs, and memory I/O rails. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8 V ±1.5% - sets output voltage via resistor divider; tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy. |
| Soft Start Time | 2.1 ms - controls inrush current during power-up; internally fixed, no external capacitor required. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 148°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | 14-pin HTSSOP with PowerPAD™ - thermally enhanced package requiring exposed pad soldered to ground plane. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54286PWPG4 uses a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with an exposed thermal pad on the bottom side. The PowerPAD™ must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVDD1 (Pin 1) | Power input for Channel 1 high-side MOSFET | Supplies gate drive and conduction path for Output 1; bypass with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| BOOT1 (Pin 2) | Bootstrap supply for Channel 1 high-side driver | Connects via 22–82 nF capacitor to SW1; internal switch charges it during low-side conduction. |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | Switch node for Channel 1 | Drives external inductor; requires snubber network to suppress ringing due to fast dV/dt. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Signal and power ground reference | Must connect directly to thermal pad; forms return path for control circuitry and MOSFET sources. |
| SEQ (Pin 10) | Startup sequencing mode selector | Configures ratiometric (floating), Output 2→1 (BP), or Output 1→2 (GND) power-up sequence. |
| ILIM2 (Pin 9) | Channel 2 overcurrent threshold select | Ground = 1.5 A limit; floating = 3.0 A limit; enables scaling of output filter for asymmetrical loads. |
| FB1 / FB2 (Pins 7, 8) | Voltage feedback inputs | Compare output divider ratio against 0.8 V reference; internal transconductance error amp drives PWM. |
| EN1 / EN2 (Pins 5, 6) | Active-low enable inputs | Pull <0.9 V to enable respective channel; internal 6 µA pull-up to PVDD2 if left floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 100-mΩ integrated high-side MOSFETs | Eliminates external switches and reduces BOM count; RDS(on) stable across –40°C to +125°C. |
| Internal compensation network | Removes need for external Type II/III compensation components-simplifies layout and validation. |
| 180° out-of-phase dual PWM outputs | Reduces input ripple current by ~70% vs. in-phase operation-lowers input capacitor RMS stress. |
| Programmable Channel 2 overcurrent level | Supports 1.5 A or 3.0 A trip thresholds via ILIM2 pin-enables optimized inductor/capacitor sizing for mixed-load systems. |
| 2.1-ms fixed soft start | Prevents inrush-induced voltage droop on shared input rails; no external timing capacitor required. |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Management | Digital TV Core Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54283PWPG4 | 300 kHz switching frequency; identical pinout, package, and feature set except oscillator frequency. | Better suited for noise-sensitive analog sections where lower switching frequency reduces EMI risk. | Select when input filter size or EMI compliance outweighs transient response speed requirements. |
| LM26420XSDE/NOPB | 2.2 MHz fixed frequency; 3.5 A per channel; requires external compensation; different pinout and package (HTSSOP-20). | Higher current and frequency support smaller inductors but demand more layout effort and component count. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing >2 A or sub-1 µs transient response-requires redesign of feedback and layout. |
Compared with TPS54286PWPG4, TPS54283PWPG4 offers lower-frequency operation for reduced EMI without changing PCB layout, while LM26420XSDE/NOPB delivers higher performance at the cost of increased design complexity and no pin compatibility.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the TPS54286PWPG4?
The TPS54286PWPG4 operates at a fixed 600 kHz switching frequency, as defined by its part number variant (TPS54286). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and distinguishes it from the 300 kHz TPS54283. The higher frequency enables smaller external inductors and capacitors while maintaining stable current-mode control with internal slope compensation.
How does the ILIM2 pin configure overcurrent protection on Channel 2 of the TPS54286PWPG4?
The ILIM2 pin on the TPS54286PWPG4 selects between two overcurrent thresholds for Channel 2: connecting ILIM2 to GND sets the limit to 1.5 A, while leaving it floating sets it to 3.0 A. This is implemented via an internal resistor divider and is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under ICL2 test conditions. Channel 1 overcurrent remains fixed at 3.0 A.
Can the TPS54286PWPG4 support independent enable control for each output channel?
Yes, the TPS54286PWPG4 supports independent enable control via dedicated EN1 (Pin 5) and EN2 (Pin 6) inputs. Each is active-low with 0.9 V turn-on threshold and internal 6 µA pull-up to PVDD2. When one EN pin is pulled low and the other remains high (>1.55 V), only the corresponding channel starts-allowing staggered or conditional power-up in multi-rail systems.
What is the purpose of the SEQ pin on the TPS54286PWPG4, and how does it affect startup behavior?
The SEQ pin on the TPS54286PWPG4 configures output voltage sequencing: tied to BP enables Output 2 → Output 1 sequential startup; tied to GND enables Output 1 → Output 2; left floating enables ratiometric startup. This single-pin control eliminates external logic and is validated in the Application Information section with timing waveforms showing ~400 µs delay between regulated outputs.
Does the TPS54286PWPG4 require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54286PWPG4 includes fully internal loop compensation, as stated in the Features list and confirmed in the Block Diagram and Application Information sections. This eliminates external RC networks typically needed for Type II/III compensation, reducing BOM count and simplifying layout-though external L-C filter selection must still follow stability guidelines in the datasheet.
