Product details
Overview
TPS54316PWPRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous buck PWM converter with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, fixed 3.3-V output, 3–6-V input range, and internal compensation. It delivers up to 3 A continuous output current with 1.0% initial output voltage accuracy and supports fixed 350 kHz or 550 kHz switching frequencies or adjustable 280–700 kHz via external resistor. Used in point-of-load regulation for FPGAs and microprocessors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54316PWPRG4 datasheet, TPS54316PWPRG4 pinout, TPS54316PWPRG4 application, or TPS54316PWPRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V fixed output, HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™ package with thermal performance (RθJA = 26.0°C/W), integrated 60-mΩ MOSFETs, powergood signaling, and undervoltage lockout at 2.95 V.
Technical Context
The TPS54316PWPRG4 implements a voltage-mode synchronous buck topology with an internally compensated error amplifier, adaptive dead-time control, and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting. Its PWM comparator compares the error amplifier output against a sawtooth ramp generated by the oscillator, enabling precise duty-cycle control under transient load steps.
It features dual-function SS/ENA pin for enable control and programmable soft-start, BOOT capacitor-based high-side gate drive, and a dedicated VBIAS regulator (2.7–2.9 V) powering internal analog circuitry. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 10°C hysteresis, and PWRGD provides open-drain power-good status referenced to 90% of 0.891-V internal reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2.5% over –40°C to 125°C, 0–3 A load, 4–6 V input - enables direct replacement of LDOs in 3.3-V rail applications. |
| Input voltage range | 3 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3-V/5-V system rails, and intermediate bus architectures. |
| Continuous output current | 3 A - sufficient for powering mid-tier FPGAs, DSPs, and microprocessor cores without external current sharing. |
| Switching frequency | Fixed 350 kHz or 550 kHz (via FSEL), or 280–700 kHz (via RT resistor) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in compact designs. |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(on) | High-side: 88 mΩ typ, low-side: 59 mΩ typ at VIN = 6 V - minimizes conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency (>90% typical at 3 A, 5 VIN→3.3 VOUT). |
| Powergood threshold | 90% of 0.891-V reference (≈0.802 V on VSENSE) - provides accurate, noise-immune sequencing signal for downstream logic reset. |
| UVLO threshold | 2.95 V start / 2.80 V stop with 0.16-V hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54316PWPRG4 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 plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 26.0°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (Pin 1) | Analog ground reference | Return node for compensation network, VBIAS capacitor, RT resistor, and FSEL - must be connected to PowerPAD for stability. |
| VSENSE (Pin 2) | Error amplifier inverting input | Direct connection to output voltage feedback node - determines regulation accuracy and loop stability. |
| BOOT (Pin 5) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Connects 0.022–0.1-µF ceramic capacitor to PH - enables floating gate drive for integrated high-side N-MOSFET. |
| PH (Pins 6–10) | Phase node | Switching node connecting internal MOSFETs to external inductor - high di/dt path requiring tight layout and ground stitching. |
| PWRGD (Pin 4) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low if VSENSE < 90% Vref, UVLO active, or SS/ENA low - used for processor reset or supply sequencing. |
| RT (Pin 20) | Frequency setting input | Resistor to AGND sets switching frequency from 280–700 kHz - enables EMI optimization and inductor size tradeoffs. |
| SS/ENA (Pin 18) | Enable and soft-start control | Logic-high (>1.2 V) enables operation; external capacitor extends startup time - supports controlled power-up and fault recovery. |
| VBIAS (Pin 17) | Internal bias regulator output | Supplies 2.7–2.9 V to internal circuitry; bypassed with 0.1–1.0 µF ceramic cap to AGND - critical for noise immunity and startup reliability. |
| VIN (Pins 14–16) | Main input supply | 3–6 V input for power switches and VBIAS regulator - requires local 1–10 µF ceramic decoupling to PGND near pins. |
| PGND (Pins 11–13) | Power ground return | High-current return for low-side MOSFET and input/output capacitors - must be tied to large copper pour and thermal vias to PowerPAD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 60-mΩ high-side / 59-mΩ low-side MOSFETs | Eliminates external power stage components, reduces board area by >40% vs discrete solutions, and improves thermal coupling between switches. |
| Internally compensated control loop | Enables stable operation with standard 4.7–10 µH inductors and common output capacitors - no external compensation network required. |
| Fast transient response (10–20 µs recovery) | Supports dynamic load steps in FPGA core supplies without excessive output voltage deviation - critical for digital logic integrity. |
| Programmable soft-start (3.3–7.6 ms internal, extendable externally) | Prevents inrush current into bulk capacitance during power-up - protects input source and avoids brownout on shared rails. |
| Powergood (PWRGD) with 35-µs deglitch | Provides robust, noise-immune sequencing signal for processors and ASICs - eliminates false resets during transient events. |
| Thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis | Protects device during sustained overload or poor heatsinking - automatic recovery after cooldown avoids manual reset requirement. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS54316PWPRG4 over temperature and load?
The TPS54316PWPRG4 maintains a fixed 3.3-V output with ±2.5% regulation over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, 4–6 V input, and 0–3 A load. This specification includes initial accuracy, line regulation (0.21%/V), and load regulation (0.21%/A), ensuring consistent performance in thermally demanding environments without external trimming. The TPS54316PWPRG4 uses a trimmed 0.891-V internal reference and high-precision error amplifier to achieve this stability.
Can the TPS54316PWPRG4 operate with a 3.3-V input supply?
No, the TPS54316PWPRG4 requires a minimum input voltage of 3 V to exit undervoltage lockout, but its recommended operating input range is 3–6 V. At 3.3-V input, the maximum achievable duty cycle (90%) limits output to approximately 2.97 V - below the 3.3-V nominal output. Therefore, the TPS54316PWPRG4 is not suitable for 3.3-V input-to-3.3-V output applications; it is intended for step-down conversion from higher rails like 5 V or battery packs.
How does the PowerPAD™ thermal pad affect the TPS54316PWPRG4's thermal performance?
The exposed PowerPAD™ on the TPS54316PWPRG4 must be soldered to a solid AGND copper plane with ≥6 thermal vias to achieve the specified RθJA of 26.0°C/W. Without soldering the PowerPAD™, RθJA degrades to 57.5°C/W, causing junction temperature to rise ~30°C higher at 3 A - potentially triggering thermal shutdown. Proper PowerPAD™ implementation is mandatory for full 3-A continuous operation in ambient temperatures above 50°C.
What is the purpose of the SS/ENA pin on the TPS54316PWPRG4, and how is it configured for enable-only operation?
The SS/ENA pin serves dual functions: logic enable and soft-start timing control. For enable-only use, tie SS/ENA directly to VIN (≥1.2 V) through a 10-kΩ resistor - this exceeds the 1.2-V enable threshold and disables external capacitor influence. The TPS54316PWPRG4 then starts with its internal 6.1-ms soft-start time. Leaving SS/ENA floating or unconnected will keep the device disabled, as the pin defaults to shutdown state.
Does the TPS54316PWPRG4 support external frequency synchronization?
No, the TPS54316PWPRG4 does not include a SYNC pin and cannot be synchronized to an external clock. It supports only three frequency modes: fixed 350 kHz (FSEL ≤0.8 V), fixed 550 kHz (FSEL ≥2.5 V), or adjustable 280–700 kHz (FSEL floating + RT resistor to AGND). For synchronization capability, consider the TPS54318RGER or TPS54328DDAR, which feature dedicated SYNC inputs compatible with external clock sources.
