Product details
Overview
TPS54328DDA from Texas Instruments is a 3-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in an 8-pin HSOP package, featuring D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, 700-kHz switching frequency, 4.5-V to 18-V input range, and 0.76-V to 7-V adjustable output voltage. It delivers high efficiency across load conditions using Eco-Mode™ for light-load operation and supports ceramic output capacitors with low ESR.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54328DDA datasheet, TPS54328DDA pinout, TPS54328DDA application, or TPS54328DDA equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated 100-mΩ/70-mΩ MOSFETs, pre-biased soft-start capability, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and –40°C to 85°C operating ambient temperature range.
Technical Context
The TPS54328DDA implements D-CAP2™ mode control-a proprietary adaptive on-time PWM architecture that eliminates external compensation while enabling fast transient response. Its internal one-shot timer sets on-time based on VIN and VOUT, yielding pseudo-fixed 700-kHz operation without an oscillator.
It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) under heavy loads and transitions seamlessly to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) via Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ at light loads. Protection features include valley-current-based cycle-by-cycle OCP, UVLO referenced to VREG5, and non-latching thermal shutdown at 165°C with 30°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports wide industrial and consumer input rails including 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V systems. |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering core logic, FPGAs, DSPs, and SoCs in compact power supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 700 kHz - enables small external inductors (e.g., 1.5 µH) and reduces output filter size without compromising EMI performance. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 100 mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at high duty cycles, improving efficiency in low-VOUT applications. |
| Low-Side RDS(on) | 70 mΩ - reduces rectification loss during DCM, supporting high efficiency down to microamp-level loads via Eco-Mode™. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V ±1.5% - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor dividers; supports 1.05 V, 1.2 V, 1.8 V, and other common logic supply voltages. |
| Shutdown Current | <10 µA - ensures ultra-low system standby power, critical for battery-backed or always-on embedded devices. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54328DDA uses an 8-pin HSOP (Heat Sink Overmolded Package) with 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm body size and exposed thermal pad on the backside, requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management and electrical return.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-high logic control; threshold at 1.6 V (min), 0.45 V (max) - compatible with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V GPIOs. |
| VFB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; 0.765-V reference enables accurate regulation with minimal offset error. |
| VREG5 (Pin 3) | Internal LDO output | 5.5-V regulated supply for gate drive and internal circuitry; requires 1-µF ceramic capacitor to GND; inactive when EN = low. |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start control | Adjustable startup ramp via external capacitor; supports pre-biased outputs by delaying synchronous rectifier activation. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Power ground | Primary return path for switching current; must be connected to thermal pad and isolated from sensitive analog returns (VFB, SS). |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connection point between high- and low-side MOSFETs; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout and Kelvin routing. |
| VBST (Pin 7) | Bootstrap supply | Charges high-side gate driver; requires 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor to SW - internal diode connects VREG5 to VBST during startup. |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–18 V; feeds internal regulator and power switches; requires local 10-µF ceramic + 0.1-µF decoupling per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ Adaptive On-Time Control | Enables stable operation with zero external compensation components and supports both ceramic and polymer output capacitors. |
| Eco-Mode™ Auto-Skip Operation | Reduces switching losses at light loads by entering pulse-skipping mode, maintaining >85% efficiency down to 1 mA output current. |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | 100-mΩ high-side and 70-mΩ low-side NFETs eliminate external discrete switches and simplify BOM and layout. |
| Pre-Biased Soft Start | Prevents reverse current flow during startup into pre-charged outputs - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications. |
| Cycle-by-Cycle Overcurrent Protection | Valley-current sensing on low-side FET provides accurate, temperature-compensated current limiting with 3.5–5.7 A trip range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS543320RTWR | 10-pin VSON package, 4-A rating, 1-MHz fSW, higher RDS(on) (120 mΩ/80 mΩ), no Eco-Mode™ | Requires larger output capacitor for same ripple; better suited for higher-frequency, lower-inductance designs | Choose for higher current or space-constrained layouts where 4-A capability and smaller footprint outweigh light-load efficiency needs. |
| MP2332HG-LL-Z | Monolithic 3-A buck, 4.5–28-V input, 500-kHz fSW, no pre-biased soft start, 1.2-V fixed VREF | Lacks D-CAP2™ transient performance and pre-bias support; requires external compensation | Select when cost sensitivity dominates and design can tolerate slower transient response and simplified feedback network. |
Compared with TPS54328DDA, TPS543320RTWR offers higher current and frequency but sacrifices Eco-Mode™ efficiency at light loads, while MP2332HG-LL-Z trades transient performance and soft-start flexibility for lower BOM count and broader input range-making TPS54328DDA optimal for balanced efficiency, responsiveness, and ease of use in mid-power consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for TPS54328DDA in continuous operation?
The TPS54328DDA is rated for 3-A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to 85°C, proper PCB thermal design). Its overcurrent protection triggers at 3.5–5.7 A depending on temperature and layout, but sustained operation above 3 A requires derating based on junction temperature rise and thermal pad soldering quality.
Does TPS54328DDA support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the TPS54328DDA includes proprietary pre-biased soft-start circuitry. When the output voltage is already present at startup, the device delays activation of the low-side FET and gradually increases its on-time cycle-by-cycle, preventing reverse current flow and ensuring monotonic VOUT ramp-up without droop or overshoot.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to TPS54328DDA?
TPS54328DDA uses the 8-pin HSOP (DDA) package with 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm body size and an exposed thermal pad on the underside. Its junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) is 31.8°C/W, and it requires soldering the thermal pad to a minimum 100-mm² copper area connected to GND for reliable 3-A operation at 85°C ambient.
Can TPS54328DDA operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the TPS54328DDA is explicitly optimized for ceramic output capacitors. Its D-CAP2™ control architecture eliminates reliance on ESR-induced ripple for stability, allowing use of ultra-low-ESR ceramics (e.g., X5R/X7R 22–68 µF) without phase compensation networks or damping resistors.
What is the purpose of the VREG5 pin on TPS54328DDA?
The VREG5 pin on TPS54328DDA provides a regulated 5.5-V output used internally to power the high-side gate driver and control circuitry. It sources up to 10 mA and requires a 1-µF ceramic capacitor to GND. VREG5 is disabled when EN is low, reducing system standby current to <10 µA.
