Product details
Overview
TPS54326RGTT 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 0.76 V to 5.5 V output, and targets digital TV, Blu-ray player, and STB power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54326RGTT datasheet, TPS54326RGTT pinout, TPS54326RGTT application, or TPS54326RGTT equivalent, this device supports fast transient response without external compensation, enables ceramic-capacitor-based designs, and provides power-good signaling, pre-biased soft-start, and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection in a thermally enhanced 16-pin QFN package.
Technical Context
The TPS54326RGTT implements D-CAP2™ mode control using adaptive on-time PWM, where on-time is inversely proportional to input voltage and proportional to output voltage-yielding pseudo-constant 700 kHz switching frequency. Its internal ramp compensates for zero-ripple conditions, enabling stability with ultra-low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Auto-Skip Eco-mode™ transitions seamlessly between PWM and discontinuous conduction mode below ~300 mA load, reducing switching losses. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle valley-current limiting (4.1 A typ), output OVP/UVP (±15% thresholds), thermal shutdown at 150°C, and VREG5 UVLO at 3.8 V.

Pinout & Package
TPS54326RGTT uses a 16-pin plastic QFN package (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad soldered to PGND for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 46.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VO (Pin 16) | Output voltage node | Power output terminal; connects to LC filter and feedback divider; used for on-time adjustment |
| VFB (Pin 1) | Feedback input | Sense point for output regulation; accepts resistor divider to set 0.765 V reference |
| VREG5 (Pin 2) | Internal 5.5 V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry; requires 1 µF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start control | Connects to external capacitor for adjustable ramp-up time and pre-biased startup control |
| GND (Pin 4) | Signal ground | Analog reference for control logic; must be star-connected to PGND near IC |
| PG (Pin 5) | Open-drain power-good | Asserts high after 1.7× soft-start when VOUT is within ±10%; requires pull-up to VREG5 |
| EN (Pin 6) | Enable input | Active-high logic control; 1.5 V threshold enables precise sequencing and standby management |
| PGND1/PGND2 (Pins 7,8) | Power ground returns | Low-side FET source connections and current-sense inputs; must be tied directly to thermal pad |
| SW1/SW2 (Pins 9,10,11) | Switch nodes | High-side drain / low-side source junctions; connect to inductor; require tight layout to minimize ringing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54327RGTR | Same 16-pin QFN package, identical pinout, but adds VIN UVLO hysteresis and improved light-load efficiency (85% at 10 mA) | Preferred for new designs requiring tighter input monitoring and extended battery runtime in portable STBs | Select TPS54327RGTR if UVLO hysteresis (>200 mV) and sub-5 µA shutdown current are required; otherwise TPS54326RGTT remains cost-optimized |
| MP2332HGRT-P | Monolithic 3 A buck in 3 mm × 3 mm QFN, but uses constant-on-time control (not D-CAP2™); 110 mΩ/75 mΩ FETs; no VREG5 LDO | Requires external 5 V bias and separate soft-start timing; suitable for space-constrained designs where integrated LDO is unnecessary | Choose MP2332HGRT-P only when board area is critical and external bias is available; TPS54326RGTT offers superior ease-of-use with integrated VREG5 and pre-biased start |
Compared with TPS54326RGTT, TPS54327RGTR improves input supervision and light-load performance at minor cost premium, while MP2332HGRT-P trades integration for footprint reduction-making TPS54326RGTT the optimal balance of feature completeness, thermal performance, and design simplicity for mainstream consumer power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS54326RGTT?
The TPS54326RGTT delivers up to 3 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, proper PCB thermal design). Its integrated 120 mΩ high-side and 70 mΩ low-side MOSFETs enable this rating without external components. Peak current limit is specified at 4.1 A typical, providing margin for transient loads. Derating is required above 85°C ambient or with insufficient copper area on the thermal pad.
Does the TPS54326RGTT support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the TPS54326RGTT includes proprietary pre-biased soft-start circuitry. When the output voltage is already present at startup, the controller gradually enables synchronous rectification-starting with narrow low-side gate pulses and incrementally increasing duty cycle-preventing reverse current flow and ensuring smooth ramp-up into regulation. This avoids system resets in hot-plug or multi-rail sequencing scenarios.
What is the purpose of the VREG5 pin on the TPS54326RGTT?
The VREG5 pin on the TPS54326RGTT is an internally regulated 5.5 V output that powers the IC's control circuitry and can also supply external bias for level-shifters or supervisors. It delivers up to 70 mA with ±20 mV line and load regulation. A mandatory 1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VREG5 and PGND to ensure stability and noise immunity-this LDO eliminates the need for an external bias rail.
How does the D-CAP2™ control mode improve design simplicity for the TPS54326RGTT?
D-CAP2™ control in the TPS54326RGTT eliminates the need for external loop compensation components (e.g., type-II or type-III networks) by embedding adaptive on-time modulation and internal ramp compensation. This allows stable operation with ultra-low-ESR ceramic output capacitors alone-reducing component count, PCB area, and design iteration time. The result is a complete 3 A buck solution with only 6 external components: input/output caps, inductor, feedback resistors, and bootstrap cap.
Can the TPS54326RGTT operate with an input voltage lower than 4.5 V?
Yes-the TPS54326RGTT supports a wide VIN input range of 2 V to 18 V, but its VCC supply (used for control logic and gate drivers) requires 4.5 V to 18 V. When VIN is below 4.5 V, VCC must be supplied externally (e.g., from a separate bias rail or LDO) to maintain operation. This dual-input architecture enables use in battery-powered systems where main rail drops below 4.5 V while control supply remains active.
