Product details
Overview
TPS54335ADRCR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC with integrated 128-mΩ high-side and 84-mΩ low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 3-A continuous output current from a 4.5-V to 28-V input. It features internal 2-ms soft-start, adjustable switching frequency (50 kHz–1.5 MHz) via external RT resistor, 0.8-V ±0.8% reference voltage, and current-mode control for stable regulation in consumer power supplies and industrial bus converters.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54335ADRCR datasheet, TPS54335ADRCR pinout, TPS54335ADRCR application, or TPS54335ADRCR equivalent, key selection criteria include its VSON-10 package thermal performance (RθJB = 18.9°C/W), hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, monotonic startup into pre-biased outputs, and pulse-skipping light-load efficiency-critical for DTV, STB, and 24-V distributed power designs.
Technical Context
The TPS54335ADRCR implements fixed-frequency peak current-mode control with slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation across duty cycles. Its transconductance error amplifier (1300 µmhos) drives the COMP pin for loop stability, while cycle-by-cycle high-side current limiting (4–6.5 A) and low-side sourcing/sinking current limits (3.5–6.1 A / 0 A) enforce robust overload handling.
Startup behavior is controlled by an internal 2-ms soft-start ramp that overrides the 0.8-V reference until settled; the device supports monotonic pre-biased output startup by inhibiting both MOSFETs until the soft-start voltage exceeds VSENSE. Overvoltage transition protection disables the high-side switch when VOUT exceeds 106% of nominal and re-enables only after falling below 104%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports 5-V, 12-V, and 24-V distributed bus inputs without external regulators. |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - enables single-chip 3.3-V/2.5-V/1.8-V rails for SoC, FPGA, or DSP core supplies. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8 V ±0.8% - ensures ≤±6.4 mV absolute error at 25°C, critical for tight-tolerance point-of-load regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 50 kHz to 1.5 MHz (adjustable via RT pin) - allows trade-off between inductor size (higher fSW) and conduction loss (lower fSW). |
| Quiescent Current | 2 µA shutdown, 310 µA non-switching - extends battery life in always-on standby circuits and reduces no-load losses. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJB = 18.9°C/W (VSON-10) - enables >2 W dissipation on 2-layer PCBs with minimal copper area. |
| Protection Features | Hiccup-mode OCP, thermal shutdown (160–175°C), BOOT-PH UVLO (2.1 V), and overvoltage transition lockout - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54335ADRCR is housed in a 10-pin VSON package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad, optimized for high-power density and low thermal resistance (RθJB = 18.9°C/W). The package requires solder connection of the thermal pad to PCB ground plane via multiple vias for reliable thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | 4.5–28 V supply rail; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| PH | High-side MOSFET source | Switch node connecting to external inductor; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| GND | Ground reference (x3 pins) | Three dedicated GND pins reduce ground impedance and improve current return path integrity. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Connects to PH via 0.1-µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor; enables high-side gate drive above VIN. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-level input (1.21 V rising threshold); floating enables operation; internal 1.15-µA pullup. |
| VSENSE | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; connects to resistor divider from VOUT for precise output regulation. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network; sets loop bandwidth and phase margin. |
| RT | Frequency set | Connects to external resistor (e.g., 100 kΩ → ~430 kHz); determines oscillator timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous MOSFET integration | 128-mΩ high-side + 84-mΩ low-side FETs eliminate external diode, reducing BOM count and improving full-load efficiency by ≥3% vs diode-based buck. |
| Monotonic pre-biased startup | Prevents reverse current flow into powered outputs by disabling both FETs until soft-start voltage exceeds VSENSE - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail systems. |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Disables switching when peak inductor current falls below 0.5 A, reducing quiescent current to 2 µA and boosting efficiency at <10% load. |
| Overvoltage transition protection | Clamps high-side FET during output overshoot (>106%) and holds off until recovery (<104%), preventing damage to downstream logic or memory. |
| Integrated boot recharge diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode, simplifying layout and reducing component count while maintaining reliable high-side gate drive under all operating conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54335-1ADRCR | Same VSON-10 package but narrower thermal pad; identical electrical specs except reduced pad clearance for dense layouts. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where pin-to-pad clearance is critical; same thermal performance with proper via placement. | Select TPS54335-1ADRCR only when board stack-up requires tighter thermal pad isolation; otherwise use TPS54335ADRCR for broader design margin. |
| MP2335GDD-Z | 3-A, 4.5–28-V buck with 500-kHz fixed frequency; lacks RT adjustability and has ±1.5% reference (vs ±0.8%). | Better suited for cost-sensitive, fixed-frequency designs where soft-start time and reference accuracy are less critical. | Choose MP2335GDD-Z for simplified BOM and lower unit cost in non-precision applications; avoid where adjustable fSW or tight VREF tolerance is required. |
Compared with TPS54335ADRCR, TPS54335-1ADRCR offers identical regulation and protection but optimized thermal pad geometry, while MP2335GDD-Z trades frequency flexibility and reference accuracy for lower system cost and simpler layout-making each suitable for distinct design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for TPS54335ADRCR?
The TPS54335ADRCR supports a maximum switching frequency of 1.5 MHz, achievable with an RT resistor value of 30 kΩ. At this frequency, minimum controllable on-time is 94 ns, enabling use with small inductors (e.g., 1.0 µH) in space-constrained designs. However, efficiency drops above 1 MHz due to increased switching losses, so 600–800 kHz is typical for balanced performance.
Does TPS54335ADRCR support monotonic startup into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the TPS54335ADRCR guarantees monotonic startup into pre-biased outputs by disabling both high-side and low-side MOSFETs until the internal soft-start voltage exceeds the VSENSE pin voltage. This prevents reverse current flow and output discharge, making it suitable for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications where downstream circuitry may already be powered.
What is the purpose of the RT pin on TPS54335ADRCR?
The RT pin on TPS54335ADRCR sets the switching frequency by connecting an external resistor to ground. For example, a 100-kΩ resistor yields ~430 kHz, while 30 kΩ gives ~1.5 MHz. This adjustability allows designers to optimize inductor size, capacitor ripple, and efficiency for specific load and thermal requirements without changing the IC.
How does the BOOT-PH UVLO function protect TPS54335ADRCR?
The BOOT-PH UVLO circuit monitors the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor. If it falls below 2.1 V (typical), the high-side MOSFET is immediately turned off and the low-side MOSFET is activated to recharge the capacitor. This prevents shoot-through and gate-drive failure, ensuring reliable operation even during heavy load transients or poor PCB layout.
Can TPS54335ADRCR operate with an input voltage below 4.5 V?
No, the TPS54335ADRCR has a specified minimum input voltage of 4.5 V per its absolute maximum and recommended operating conditions. Input voltages below this threshold trigger undervoltage lockout (UVLO), halting switching and placing the device in shutdown mode. Attempting operation below 4.5 V risks unstable regulation or failure to start.
