Product details
Overview
TPS54302DDCT from Texas Instruments is a 4.5V to 28V input, 3A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in SOT-23-THIN (6-pin) package, integrating 85mΩ high-side and 40mΩ low-side MOSFETs, operating at fixed 400kHz with spread-spectrum EMI reduction - used for 12V/24V distributed power-bus regulation in white goods and audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54302DDCT datasheet, TPS54302DDCT pinout, TPS54302DDCT application, or TPS54302DDCT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2μA shutdown current, internal 5ms soft-start, Eco-mode pulse skip for light-load efficiency, overcurrent hiccup protection, and thermal shutdown at 160°C - all critical for industrial and consumer power supply design.
Technical Context
The TPS54302DDCT employs peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation across duty cycles, and integrates boot recharge diode and internal loop compensation to eliminate external compensation components. Its fixed 400kHz switching frequency is dithered ±6% via spread-spectrum modulation to reduce conducted and radiated EMI peaks.
It features dual overcurrent protection: cycle-by-cycle high-side current limiting (4–6A typical) and low-side valley-current limiting (3.1–5.5A), both triggering hiccup mode after 512 cycles of sustained overload. Output voltage is set via FB pin with 0.596V (±2.5%) internal reference, enabling precise 3.3V/5V/12V regulation using standard resistor dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 28V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V industrial and automotive bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 3A continuous - delivers full rated load in compact SOT-23-THIN footprint with no external heat sink required under typical conditions. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 400kHz (±110kHz) - enables small external inductors (e.g., 10µH) and predictable EMI filter design. |
| Quiescent Current | 45μA (non-switching), 2μA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on or standby systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.596V ±2.5% - allows accurate output setting (e.g., 5V with 100kΩ/13.3kΩ divider) with minimal error across temperature. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C activation with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design while enabling automatic recovery. |
| EMI Reduction | Frequency spread spectrum (±6% jitter, 1/512 swing frequency) - lowers peak EMI by >10dB without added shielding or filtering components. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-THIN (6-pin) package, 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement (RθJA = 118.9°C/W on standard PCB).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Power and signal ground reference | Return path for low-side MOSFET source and controller circuitry; must be connected at single point near FB divider for stable regulation. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node | Connection between high- and low-side MOSFETs; drives external bootstrap capacitor and carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input supply | Drain of high-side MOSFET; accepts 4.5V–28V; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 0.596V reference; high-impedance input (IIN < 100nA) minimizes divider current error. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control | Logic-level input (1.23V rising threshold); floating enables operation; internal pullup allows simple on/off control without external bias. |
| BOOT (Pin 6) | High-side gate drive supply | Requires 0.1µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor to SW; UVLO disables high-side if BOOT–SW < 2.1V, preventing shoot-through. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 85mΩ high-side + 40mΩ low-side MOSFETs enable 3A output in SOT-23-THIN without external switches or drivers. |
| Advanced Eco-mode | Pulse-skipping below 500mA peak inductor current improves light-load efficiency (>85% at 10mA) without audible noise. |
| Internal Soft Start | 5ms ramp time limits inrush current during power-up, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry. |
| Overvoltage Protection | 108% VREF trip (≈0.644V) forces high-side off; recovers at 104% (≈0.620V) - suppresses output overshoot during load dump or fault recovery. |
| Robust Fault Handling | Hiccup-mode OCP (512-cycle wait, 16384-cycle restart) and thermal shutdown (160°C/150°C hysteresis) ensure safe operation under sustained faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54302DRCT | Same silicon, 3mm × 3mm SON-8 package with thermal pad; higher current capability (3.5A) due to lower RθJA (57.2°C/W vs 118.9°C/W). | Better suited for high-ambient or high-duty-cycle applications where thermal headroom is constrained. | Select TPS54302DRCT when board space allows larger package and thermal performance is prioritized over minimal footprint. |
| MP2332HG-5-LF-Z | Monolithic 3A buck with 4.5–28V input, but fixed 500kHz fSW, no spread spectrum, and 0.8V reference; requires external compensation. | Lacks integrated EMI reduction and internal loop compensation - increases BOM count and layout sensitivity. | Choose MP2332HG-5-LF-Z only if cost is primary constraint and EMI compliance can be achieved via external filtering. |
Compared with TPS54302DDCT, TPS54302DRCT offers superior thermal performance in a slightly larger package, while MP2332HG-5-LF-Z trades EMI robustness and integration for lower unit cost - making TPS54302DDCT optimal for space-constrained, EMI-sensitive industrial and consumer designs requiring zero-compensation simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS54302DDCT?
The TPS54302DDCT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 30V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 4.5V to 28V. Operation above 28V may trigger VIN UVLO hysteresis (3.3–3.9V falling threshold) or degrade long-term reliability. The device is commonly deployed on 12V and 24V industrial buses within this validated range.
Does the TPS54302DDCT require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54302DDCT includes fully internal loop compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks on the COMP or FB pins. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable operation with standard output capacitors (e.g., 22µF ceramic) across its full 3A load range and input voltage span.
How does the TPS54302DDCT achieve EMI reduction?
The TPS54302DDCT achieves EMI reduction through built-in frequency spread spectrum modulation: ±6% dither around its 400kHz center frequency with a 1/512 swing rate (1.024ms period). This spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, lowering peak emissions by >10dB compared to fixed-frequency operation - verified per CISPR-22 Class B standards in reference designs.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS54302DDCT?
The TPS54302DDCT integrates overcurrent protection (hiccup-mode on both high- and low-side MOSFETs), overvoltage protection (108% trip, 104% recovery), thermal shutdown (160°C activation, 150°C recovery), input UVLO (4.1V rising threshold), and BOOT UVLO (2.1V). All protections are fully autonomous and require no external circuitry.
Can the TPS54302DDCT safely start into a prebiased output?
Yes, the TPS54302DDCT implements safe start-up into prebiased outputs: both high- and low-side MOSFETs remain disabled until the internal soft-start voltage exceeds the FB pin voltage, preventing reverse current flow and output discharge. This behavior is confirmed in TI's SLVSDG6C datasheet Section 6.3.6 and validated in reference design testing.
