Product details
Overview
TPS54316PWPR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck PWM DC-DC converter IC with integrated 60-mΩ high- and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 3 A continuous output current at a fixed 3.3 V output voltage with ±2.5% regulation over temperature and load. It operates from a 3–6 V input, features internal compensation, fast transient response, and powergood signaling-designed for point-of-load regulation in FPGA, DSP, and microprocessor power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54316PWPR datasheet, TPS54316PWPR pinout, TPS54316PWPR application, or TPS54316PWPR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3 V fixed output, HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™ package with thermal vias, adjustable switching frequency (280–700 kHz), integrated current limiting, and thermal shutdown protection-critical for compact, high-density power designs requiring stable 3.3 V rails.
Technical Context
The TPS54316PWPR implements a voltage-mode synchronous buck topology with an internal high-performance 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.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO start at 2.95 V, hysteresis 0.16 V), programmable slow-start (6.1 ms internal time for 3.3 V output), and a dedicated VBIAS regulator (2.7–2.9 V output) for internal circuitry-enabling reliable startup, sequencing, and noise-immune biasing without external LDOs.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V with ±2.5% initial accuracy over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and 0–3 A load |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 6 V - supports direct regulation from 3.3 V or 5 V intermediate rails |
| Continuous Output Current | 3 A - sustained delivery without derating at TJ ≤ 85°C with proper PCB thermal design |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 280–700 kHz via RT resistor; internally set to 350 kHz or 550 kHz via FSEL pin |
| Integrated MOSFET rDS(on) | 60 mΩ high-side and matched low-side - enables >90% efficiency at 3 A, 5 VIN → 3.3 VOUT |

Pinout & Package
TPS54316PWPR is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed PowerPAD™ for improved heat dissipation. The package requires soldering the PowerPAD™ to AGND plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 26.0°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (Pin 1) | Analog ground reference | Return for compensation network, SS/ENA capacitor, VBIAS bypass, and RT/FSEL resistors; must connect PowerPAD™ here |
| VSENSE (Pin 2) | Error amplifier inverting input | Direct connection to output voltage feedback node; sets regulation point at 0.891 V reference |
| NC (Pin 3) | No internal connection | Unbonded pad - leave unconnected and unrouted |
| PWRGD (Pin 4) | Open-drain powergood output | Pulled low if VSENSE < 90% Vref, UVLO active, or SS/ENA disabled; requires external pull-up |
| BOOT (Pin 5) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Connect 0.022–0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and PH to enable floating gate drive |
| PH (Pins 6–10) | Phase node | Junction of internal MOSFETs and output inductor; high-current AC switching node requiring short, low-inductance layout |
| RT (Pin 20) | Frequency setting resistor input | Connect resistor to AGND to set fSW from 280–700 kHz; open for internal 350/550 kHz modes |
| SS/ENA (Pin 18) | Slow-start/enable control | Logic-enable input (threshold 1.2 V); also accepts capacitor for programmable soft-start (6.1 ms typical for 3.3 V) |
| VBIAS (Pin 17) | Bias regulator output | Supplies 2.7–2.9 V to internal circuits; bypass with 0.1–1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramic to AGND |
| VIN (Pins 14–16) | Main input supply | 3–6 V input for power switches and bias regulator; bypass each pin individually to PGND with 1–10 µF ceramic |
| PGND (Pins 11–13) | Power ground return | High-current return for low-side FET and input/output capacitors; connect to large copper area and VIN/VO grounds |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54318RTER | Same SWIFT™ architecture but QFN-16 package; 3.3 V fixed output; lower RθJA (22.5°C/W) but no PowerPAD™ thermal pad | Better thermal performance in space-constrained layouts; lacks HTSSOP's mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments | Choose TPS54318RTER for ultra-compact PCBs needing superior θJA; retain TPS54316PWPR for ruggedized industrial assemblies. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Monolithic 3 A buck with 3.3 V fixed output; 2.5–5.5 V input; 500 kHz fixed frequency; no PWRGD or SS/ENA pins | Lacks power sequencing and fault signaling-requires external circuitry for system-level reset and enable control | Use MP2315DJ-LF-Z only in cost-sensitive, non-sequenced applications; TPS54316PWPR remains preferred for processor-supply integrity. |
Compared with TPS54318RTER and MP2315DJ-LF-Z, the TPS54316PWPR uniquely combines HTSSOP-20 mechanical reliability, integrated PWRGD/SS/ENA for full system control, and proven thermal performance in industrial temperature ranges-making it the optimal choice for FPGA, PLC, and telecom power designs demanding both precision and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS54316PWPR?
The TPS54316PWPR delivers up to 3 A continuous output current at 3.3 V with proper PCB thermal design-including soldered PowerPAD™, 10 thermal vias, and 2-layer 3″×3″ board per TI's recommended layout. Derating applies above 85°C junction temperature, where power dissipation drops to 1.54 W at 85°C ambient.
Does the TPS54316PWPR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54316PWPR features internal compensation optimized for standard 4.7 µH to 10 µH inductors and typical ceramic output capacitors. External compensation is not needed, reducing BOM count and simplifying design-though output filter selection still impacts stability and transient response.
How does the powergood (PWRGD) function work on the TPS54316PWPR?
The TPS54316PWPR's PWRGD pin is an open-drain output that goes high-impedance when VSENSE ≥ 90% of the 0.891 V internal reference (≈0.802 V), indicating valid 3.3 V output. It pulls low during UVLO, SS/ENA disable, thermal shutdown, or output undervoltage-enabling direct connection to processor reset inputs without additional logic.
Can the switching frequency of the TPS54316PWPR be synchronized to an external clock?
No-the TPS54316PWPR does not support external synchronization. It offers three frequency modes: fixed 350 kHz (FSEL ≤ 0.8 V), fixed 550 kHz (FSEL ≥ 2.5 V), or adjustable 280–700 kHz via RT resistor to AGND. For sync capability, consider TI's TPS54320 or TPS544B20 families.
What is the purpose of the VBIAS pin on the TPS54316PWPR?
The VBIAS pin on the TPS54316PWPR outputs a regulated 2.7–2.9 V supply for internal analog and digital blocks. It must be bypassed with a 0.1–1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor to AGND. While usable as a reference for external circuits, loading beyond 100 µA risks degrading regulation accuracy and noise immunity.
