Product details
Overview
TPS54326PWPR from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side (120 mΩ) and low-side (70 mΩ) N-channel MOSFETs, D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, and Auto-Skip Eco-mode™ for light-load efficiency. It operates from 4.5 V to 18 V VCC and 2 V to 18 V VIN, delivers adjustable output from 0.76 V to 5.5 V, and targets digital TV, Blu-ray player, and STB power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54326PWPR datasheet, TPS54326PWPR pinout, TPS54326PWPR application, or TPS54326PWPR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, HTSSOP-14 package mapping, thermal design guidance, and real-world substitution options - all grounded in TI's SLVSA13E production datasheet and validated operating conditions.
Technical Context
The TPS54326PWPR implements D-CAP2™ mode control using adaptive on-time PWM, where on-time is inversely proportional to VIN and proportional to VO - enabling pseudo-fixed 700 kHz switching without an external oscillator. Its internal ramp compensates for zero-output-ripple ceramic capacitors, eliminating ESR dependency.
It integrates dual current-sense paths for cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection: valley-current detection during low-side conduction and temperature-compensated voltage sensing across PGND pins. Power good activation occurs after 1.7× soft-start time, with ±10% output window and 10 ms fault delay.

Pinout & Package
TPS54326PWPR uses the 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad, optimized for surface-mount thermal dissipation via soldered copper plane connection. θJA = 55.6°C/W, θJB = 26.4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VO (Pin 1) | Output voltage node | Connects directly to output capacitor and feedback divider; used for on-time adjustment |
| VFB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Monitors regulated output via resistor divider; reference = 0.765 V ±1.5% |
| VREG5 (Pin 3) | 5.5 V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start control | 2 µA current source charges external capacitor; enables pre-biased startup |
| GND (Pin 5) | Signal ground | Reference for analog blocks; must be star-connected to PGND near IC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54327PWPR | Same HTSSOP-14 package, 3-A rating, but wider VIN (4.5–28 V); higher RDS(on) (135/85 mΩ) | Better suited for 24 V industrial input; lower light-load efficiency due to no Eco-mode | Select when input exceeds 18 V and Eco-mode is not required |
| MP2332HGRT-P | 3-A, 4.5–28 V input, 700 kHz, QFN-10; lacks VREG5 output and PG pin | No integrated 5.5 V bias rail or power-good signaling; requires external LDO and monitoring | Choose for space-constrained designs where auxiliary rails and status signals are managed externally |
Compared with TPS54326PWPR, TPS54327PWPR trades Eco-mode efficiency for extended input range, while MP2332HGRT-P reduces footprint and cost at the expense of integrated bias and monitoring functions - making TPS54326PWPR optimal for consumer electronics requiring full-feature integration in HTSSOP.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TPS54326PWPR can handle?
The TPS54326PWPR supports a VCC input range of 4.5 V to 18 V and a VIN power input range of 2 V to 18 V. Absolute maximum ratings specify VIN and VCC up to 20 V, but operation above 18 V is not recommended or guaranteed per TI's SLVSA13E datasheet. Exceeding 18 V risks violating recommended operating conditions and may trigger overvoltage protection or damage.
Does the TPS54326PWPR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54326PWPR does not require external compensation components. Its D-CAP2™ control architecture embeds internal compensation and is explicitly designed to operate stably with ceramic output capacitors - including ultra-low-ESR types - without additional RC networks or type-II/type-III compensators.
How does the TPS54326PWPR manage pre-biased outputs during startup?
The TPS54326PWPR implements pre-biased soft start by detecting when the SS pin voltage exceeds VFB at power-on. It then incrementally increases low-side FET on-time cycle-by-cycle until reaching normal duty-cycle operation - preventing reverse current flow into the pre-charged output and avoiding bus collapse or downstream reset events.
What thermal considerations apply to the TPS54326PWPR in HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package?
The TPS54326PWPR in PWP package requires soldering its exposed PowerPAD™ directly to a PGND copper plane with ≥6 thermal vias. With θJA = 55.6°C/W, maintaining junction temperature ≤125°C at 3 A load demands ≥2 in² of 2-oz copper on inner or bottom layers - verified in TI's layout guidelines and thermal characterization data.
Can the TPS54326PWPR be used with only ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the TPS54326PWPR is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors. Its D-CAP2™ control loop includes an internal ripple injection circuit that replaces ESR-dependent stability - allowing stable operation with 22 µF–68 µF X5R/X7R ceramics, as confirmed in TI's recommended design values and Figure 11 ripple measurements.
