Product details
Overview
TPS54335DRCR 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 50-kHz to 1.5-MHz switching frequency via RT pin, 0.8-V ±0.8% reference voltage, and current-mode control-used in industrial power supplies and distributed bus regulation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54335DRCR datasheet, TPS54335DRCR pinout, TPS54335DRCR application, or TPS54335DRCR equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.5–28 V), output current capability (3 A), thermal performance in VSON-10 package (RθJB = 18.9°C/W), and compatibility with pre-biased startup and pulse-skipping light-load efficiency.
Technical Context
The TPS54335DRCR implements fixed-frequency peak current-mode control with slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation across duty cycles. Its error amplifier (1300 µmhos transconductance) drives the COMP pin for loop stability, while cycle-by-cycle high-side current limiting (4.0–6.5 A threshold) and low-side sourcing/sinking current limits protect against overload.
Startup behavior is monotonic into pre-biased outputs: both MOSFETs remain off until the internal soft-start voltage exceeds VSENSE. Overvoltage transition protection activates when VOUT > 106% of nominal, disabling the high-side switch until VOUT falls below 104%, preventing output overshoot during line transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive bus rails without external pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - enables single-chip 5-V/12-V/24-V point-of-load conversion for FPGA, DSP, or MCU core supplies |
| Switching Frequency | 50 kHz to 1.5 MHz adjustable via RT resistor - allows optimization of size (high-freq) vs. efficiency (low-freq) in filter design |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8 V ±0.8% at TJ = 25°C - ensures tight output regulation accuracy for low-voltage digital loads |
| Quiescent Current | 2 µA shutdown, 310 µA non-switching - extends battery life in always-on systems and reduces no-load losses |
| MOSFET RDS(on) | 128 mΩ (HS), 84 mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss and enables high-efficiency operation at full load |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJB = 18.9°C/W (VSON-10) - supports high-power density PCB layouts with direct thermal coupling to board copper |
Pinout & Package
The TPS54335DRCR is housed in a 10-pin VSON package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1, 2) | Power input | Dual VIN pins reduce trace resistance and improve current sharing for high-current input paths |
| PH (Pin 3) | High-side switch source | Connects to output inductor; carries full switching current and requires low-inductance layout |
| GND (Pins 4, 5) | Power ground | Dual GND pins minimize ground bounce and support stable current-sense reference |
| BOOT (Pin 9) | High-side gate drive supply | Requires 0.1-µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor to PH for bootstrap charging; UVLO at 2.1 V disables HS FET |
| EN (Pin 8) | Enable control | Logic-high >1.21 V enables operation; internal 1.15-µA pullup allows floating-enable default state |
| VSENSE (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; connects to resistor divider for precise output voltage setting |
| COMP (Pin 7) | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network; sets loop bandwidth and phase margin |
| RT (Pin 10) | Frequency set | Connects to external resistor to adjust switching frequency from 50 kHz to 1.5 MHz |
| Exposed Thermal Pad (Pin 11) | Thermal path | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias for RθJB = 18.9°C/W performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monotonic pre-biased startup | Prevents reverse current flow into powered outputs by inhibiting both MOSFETs until soft-start voltage exceeds VSENSE |
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Disables switching when peak inductor current drops below 0.5 A, reducing quiescent current to 2 µA in shutdown |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Enters latched-off state after 512 consecutive current-limit cycles, then auto-restarts after 16384 cycles for safe fault recovery |
| Integrated boot recharge diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and improving reliability in compact layouts |
| Overvoltage transition protection | Clamps high-side switch when VOUT exceeds 106% nominal, preventing overshoot during fast load release or line steps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54336DRCR | Fixed 340-kHz frequency; adjustable soft-start via SS pin instead of internal 2-ms timer | Better EMI predictability in noise-sensitive systems; requires external soft-start capacitor | Select when deterministic switching frequency and programmable soft-start timing are prioritized over frequency flexibility |
| MP2335GDD | 4.5–28-V input, 3-A, 500-kHz fixed frequency; lower 1.2-V reference; no RT pin or hiccup-mode OCP | Lacks adjustable frequency and advanced protection; simpler compensation but less robust fault handling | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where fixed-frequency operation and basic protection suffice |
Compared with TPS54335DRCR, TPS54336DRCR trades frequency adjustability for EMI stability and adds soft-start programmability, while MP2335GDD offers a lower-cost alternative with reduced feature set and no hiccup-mode recovery-making TPS54335DRCR optimal for designs requiring dynamic frequency tuning and comprehensive fault management.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for TPS54335DRCR?
The TPS54335DRCR supports a maximum switching frequency of 1.5 MHz, achievable with an RT resistor value of approximately 30 kΩ. At this frequency, minimum on-time is 94 ns (typical), enabling high-ratio step-downs such as 24 V to 1.2 V with practical inductor sizing. Operation above 1.5 MHz is not specified and may compromise stability or current-limit accuracy.
Does TPS54335DRCR support startup into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the TPS54335DRCR supports monotonic startup into pre-biased outputs. During startup, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain disabled until the internal soft-start voltage exceeds the voltage on the VSENSE pin, preventing reverse current flow and ensuring controlled voltage ramp-up without output discharge.
What is the purpose of the dual VIN and dual GND pins on TPS54335DRCR?
The dual VIN (Pins 1, 2) and dual GND (Pins 4, 5) pins on the TPS54335DRCR reduce parasitic resistance and inductance in high-current paths. This improves thermal distribution, lowers voltage drop under 3-A load, and enhances current-sense accuracy by stabilizing the ground reference for the internal current comparator.
How does the hiccup-mode overcurrent protection work in TPS54335DRCR?
The TPS54335DRCR enters hiccup-mode overcurrent protection after 512 consecutive switching cycles exceed the high-side current limit (4.0–6.5 A). It then disables switching for 16384 cycles (~100 ms at 150 kHz), after which it attempts automatic restart. This prevents thermal runaway while allowing self-recovery without manual reset.
Can TPS54335DRCR operate with an input voltage below 4.5 V?
No, the TPS54335DRCR has a specified minimum input voltage of 4.5 V per absolute maximum and recommended operating conditions. Input voltage below 4.5 V triggers undervoltage lockout (UVLO), disabling the device. The rising UVLO threshold is 4.5 V typical, with 180-mV hysteresis, so operation below 4.32 V is not functional or guaranteed.
