Product details
Overview
TPS54314PWPR from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous buck PWM converter with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, fixed 1.8-V output, 3–6-V input range, and internal compensation. It delivers up to 3 A continuous output current with 1.0% initial accuracy and supports point-of-load regulation for FPGAs and microprocessors in space-constrained industrial and computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54314PWPR datasheet, TPS54314PWPR pinout, TPS54314PWPR application, or TPS54314PWPR equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion where thermal performance, fast transient response, and minimal external component count are critical - especially in 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ layouts with tight PCB area budgets.
Technical Context
The TPS54314PWPR implements a voltage-mode synchronous buck architecture with an internally compensated error amplifier (26 dB open-loop gain, 3–5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth) and adaptive dead-time control to prevent shoot-through. Its PWM comparator features 70–85 ns propagation delay and 100 ns leading-edge blanking for robust current-limit response.
Switching frequency is configurable via FSEL pin (350 kHz or 550 kHz fixed) or RT resistor (280–700 kHz externally adjustable), with oscillator ramp amplitude of 1 VPP and minimum controllable on-time of 200 ns. The device operates in continuous conduction mode and includes undervoltage lockout (2.95 V start, 2.8 V stop), thermal shutdown (135–165 °C trip), and powergood monitoring (90% VREF threshold).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2.5% over –40°C to 125°C, 0–3 A load, 3–6 V input - enables direct powering of core logic rails without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 6 V - compatible with 3.3-V and 5-V intermediate bus architectures in distributed power systems. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3 A - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, DSP cores, and ASIC subsystems requiring stable mid-rail voltage. |
| Switching Frequency | 350 kHz (FSEL ≤0.8 V) or 550 kHz (FSEL ≥2.5 V); adjustable 280–700 kHz via RT resistor - balances efficiency vs. size trade-offs in EMI-sensitive designs. |
| High-Side rDS(on) | 59 mΩ at VIN = 6 V - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency, especially at higher input voltages. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 26.0 °C/W with PowerPAD™ soldered - enables 3-A operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C with standard 2-layer PCB layout. |
| Quiescent Current | 6.2–12.8 mA depending on frequency configuration - supports low-power standby modes without compromising startup speed. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54314PWPR is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed PowerPAD™ for improved heat dissipation. The package measures 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm and requires solder connection of the PowerPAD™ to AGND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (Pin 1) | Analog ground reference | Return path for compensation network, VBIAS capacitor, SS/ENA capacitor, and RT resistor - must be connected to PowerPAD™ for stability. |
| VSENSE (Pin 2) | Error amplifier inverting input | Direct connection to output voltage sense point - determines regulation accuracy; sensitive to PCB trace impedance. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Unbonded pad - must remain unconnected and unstubbed to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| PWRGD (Pin 4) | Open-drain powergood indicator | Pulled low when VSENSE < 90% VREF, UVLO active, or SS/ENA disabled - used for processor reset sequencing and fault signaling. |
| BOOT (Pin 5) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Connects to PH through 0.022–0.1 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor - enables floating gate drive for N-channel high-side MOSFET. |
| PH (Pins 6–10) | Phase node | Junction of internal high- and low-side MOSFETs - connects directly to output inductor; high di/dt node requiring short, wide copper routing. |
| RT (Pin 20) | Frequency setting resistor input | Connect resistor to AGND to set switching frequency from 280–700 kHz - enables EMI optimization and inductor selection flexibility. |
| SS/ENA (Pin 18) | Slow-start/enable control | Logic-enable input (1.2 V threshold) and external capacitor interface - controls startup slew rate and provides system-level enable/disable capability. |
| VBIAS (Pin 17) | Internal bias regulator output | Supplies regulated ~2.8 V to internal circuitry - requires 0.1–1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramic bypass capacitor to AGND, placed adjacent to pin. |
| VIN (Pins 14–16) | Main input supply | Power input for MOSFET switches and internal bias regulator - each pin must be individually bypassed to PGND with 1–10 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor. |
| PGND (Pins 11–13) | Power ground return | High-current return path for low-side MOSFET and input/output capacitors - requires large copper pour and multiple vias to minimize ground bounce. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54315PWPR | Fixed 2.5-V output; identical pinout, package, and feature set - differs only in output voltage trim. | Used where 2.5-V logic interfaces or memory I/O require separate regulation - not interchangeable without redesigning feedback or load compatibility. | Select when system requires 2.5-V rail instead of 1.8 V; same layout and thermal design apply. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Monolithic 3-A buck with 2.5–5.5-V input, 0.8–5.5-V adjustable output, 500-kHz fixed frequency - lacks RT adjustability, PWRGD, and VBIAS pin. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where powergood signaling and bias rail generation are unnecessary. | Choose for simplified BOM in non-critical systems; avoid where sequencing, thermal margin, or precision 1.8-V regulation is required. |
Compared with TPS54315PWPR, the TPS54314PWPR offers identical thermal, electrical, and mechanical behavior except for output voltage - making it a direct drop-in replacement only when 1.8 V is required. Versus MP2315DJ-LF-Z, the TPS54314PWPR provides superior accuracy (±2.5% vs ±4%), integrated powergood, and flexible frequency tuning - justifying its use in industrial and communications infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS54314PWPR over temperature and load?
The TPS54314PWPR delivers a fixed 1.8-V output with ±2.5% regulation accuracy across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, 3–6-V input, and 0–3-A load conditions. This specification includes initial trim error, line/load regulation, and thermal drift - verified per TI's SLVS416C datasheet Section 6.5. The TPS54314PWPR achieves this without external feedback resistors due to factory-trimmed internal reference and error amplifier.
Can the TPS54314PWPR operate with a 3.3-V input supply?
Yes, the TPS54314PWPR supports input voltages from 3 V to 6 V, making 3.3-V operation fully valid and commonly used in intermediate bus architectures. At 3.3-V input, the device maintains 3-A output capability with reduced conduction loss in the low-side MOSFET. Efficiency remains above 88% at 1.8-V/2-A output per Figure 9 in the datasheet, and thermal performance is enhanced due to lower power dissipation.
Does the TPS54314PWPR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54314PWPR features an internally compensated voltage-mode control loop optimized for standard 4.7–10 µH inductors and typical ceramic output capacitors. The error amplifier's gain and phase response are fixed to ensure stability without external RC networks - reducing design risk and board area. This internal compensation is validated across all operating conditions in the TPS54314PWPR datasheet Section 7.3.6.
How does the PowerPAD™ thermal pad affect the TPS54314PWPR's thermal performance?
The exposed PowerPAD™ on the TPS54314PWPR must be soldered to a dedicated AGND copper pour to achieve the rated 26.0 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Without soldering, θJA degrades to 57.5 °C/W - limiting usable output current to ~1.5 A at 85°C ambient. TI's recommended land pattern (SLMA002) specifies ten thermal vias under the pad, connected to inner-layer ground planes for optimal heat spreading.
What is the purpose of the VBIAS pin on the TPS54314PWPR?
The VBIAS pin on the TPS54314PWPR supplies a regulated ~2.8 V to internal analog and digital circuitry, independent of input voltage variations. It must be bypassed with a 0.1–1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor to AGND, placed adjacent to the pin. While primarily for internal use, VBIAS can serve as a stable reference for external circuits - but loading beyond 100 µA risks dropping VBIAS below its 2.70-V minimum, affecting TPS54314PWPR functionality.
