Product details
Overview
TPS54350PWP from Texas Instruments is a medium-current synchronous buck PWM converter with integrated 100 mΩ high-side MOSFET and external low-side gate driver (LSG), supporting adjustable output down to 0.891 V at ±1% reference accuracy, 250–700 kHz programmable switching frequency, and 180° out-of-phase synchronization for multi-rail systems in LCD monitors and FPGA point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54350PWP datasheet, TPS54350PWP pinout, TPS54350PWP application, or TPS54350PWP equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5–20 V input range, 3-A continuous output capability, thermal shutdown at 165°C, internal slow-start timing (2.3–4.6 ms), and compatibility with external low-side MOSFETs or Schottky diodes in thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP PowerPAD packaging.
Technical Context
The TPS54350PWP implements feed-forward modulator control with constant 8 V/V gain across 250–700 kHz, adaptive dead-time logic preventing shoot-through between high- and low-side switches, and bidirectional SYNC functionality-output when RT is grounded/floating, input when RT is resistor-programmed. Its error amplifier delivers 60–80 dB open-loop gain and 1.0–2.8 MHz unity-gain bandwidth for robust transient response.
Undervoltage lockout initiates at 4.49 V (VIN) or 1.24 V (UVLO pin), with 350 mV hysteresis; enable threshold is 0.5 V on ENA; power good (PWRGD) asserts after 2–4 ms delay and triggers at 97% of set output voltage. Thermal shutdown trips at 165°C with 7°C hysteresis, and overcurrent protection uses peak MOSFET RDS(on) sensing with hiccup-mode recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 20 V - supports wide industrial input rails including 5 V, 12 V, and 19 V adapters without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% at 0.891 V reference - enables precise regulation for low-voltage DSP/FPGA cores requiring tight tolerance. |
| Switching Frequency | 250 kHz (fixed), 500 kHz (fixed), or 250–700 kHz (adjustable via RT resistor) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in space-constrained designs. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3 A - sustained delivery under full load with thermal derating per PWP package dissipation ratings (2.36 W @ 25°C ambient). |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 100–300 mΩ (VIN = 12 V / 4.5 V) - defines conduction loss and thermal rise; lower RDS(on) at higher VIN improves light-load efficiency. |
| Synchronization Mode | 180° out-of-phase bidirectional SYNC - enables interleaved operation with second TPS54350PWP to halve input ripple current and reduce bulk capacitance. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C trip with 7°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design while enabling automatic recovery. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54350PWP is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND/AGND. The PowerPAD must be soldered to a dedicated copper area with thermal vias for reliable 3-A operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 VIN | Input supply rail | Bypassed with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor; supplies high-side switch and bias regulator. |
| 3 UVLO | Undervoltage lockout override | External resistor divider adjusts start/stop thresholds; default is 4.49 V start / 3.69 V stop. |
| 4 PWRGD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high impedance when VSENSE ≥ 97% of target; delays 2–4 ms to reject startup transients. |
| 5 RT | Frequency programming node | Resistor to AGND sets fSW = 250–700 kHz; floating = 500 kHz; grounded = 250 kHz. |
| 6 SYNC | Bidirectional sync I/O | Outputs falling-edge signal 180° out-of-phase with PH when RT grounded/floating; accepts falling-edge sync input when RT resistor-set. |
| 7 ENA | Enable control | Pulled up internally; <0.5 V disables switching and resets slow-start; no external pullup required. |
| 8 COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to VSENSE via RC compensation network to stabilize loop dynamics and ensure phase margin. |
| 9 VSENSE | Inverting input of error amplifier | Feedback node for output voltage divider; referenced to 0.891 V internal bandgap. |
| 10 AGND | Analog ground reference | Internally isolated low-noise ground; must connect to PowerPAD and PGND for stable reference. |
| 11 PGND | Power ground return | Carries high di/dt currents from LSG driver; connects to PowerPAD and AGND for low-impedance path. |
| 12 VBIAS | Internal 7.5–8.0 V bias supply | Powers analog circuits and LSG driver; requires 1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 13 LSG | Low-side gate driver output | 100 mA capable; directly drives n-channel MOSFET gate; leave open if using Schottky diode. |
| 14, 15 PH | Phase node connection | Connects to LC filter inductor; carries high-frequency switching current; ties to BOOT capacitor. |
| 16 BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | 0.1 µF ceramic cap from BOOT to PH provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100 mΩ high-side MOSFET | Enables compact 3-A buck design without external high-side switch; reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Adjustable 250–700 kHz switching frequency | Allows optimization of inductor size, efficiency, and EMI filtering across input/output combinations. |
| 180° out-of-phase synchronization | Supports dual-phase interleaving to cut input RMS ripple current by ~30%, reducing bulk capacitor stress. |
| Internal slow-start (2.3–4.6 ms) | Prevents inrush current during startup; timing scales inversely with fSW to maintain consistent ramp rate. |
| Programmable undervoltage lockout | External resistor divider on UVLO pin enables custom input brown-in/brown-out thresholds for system-level sequencing. |
| Power-good output with fault detection | PWRGD indicates valid regulation and flags faults including overcurrent, thermal shutdown, UVLO, and slow-start state. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS543320RHLR | Higher 4-A output, 2.2-MHz fixed frequency, QFN-18 package, integrated compensation; no UVLO pin or SYNC I/O. | Targets space-constrained, high-density boards where footprint and layout simplicity outweigh programmability needs. | Choose TPS543320RHLR only if 2.2-MHz operation and smaller QFN package are prioritized over frequency adjustability and synchronization flexibility. |
| LM2678SDX-ADJ/NOPB | Non-synchronous buck, 5-A output, 260 kHz fixed frequency, SOIC-8 package, no LSG driver or SYNC capability. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-efficiency applications where external Schottky diode use is acceptable and thermal budget allows. | Choose LM2678SDX-ADJ/NOPB only if synchronous operation, 180° interleaving, and adjustable frequency are not required. |
Compared with TPS54350PWP, TPS543320RHLR offers higher current and integration but sacrifices programmable frequency and bidirectional SYNC; LM2678SDX-ADJ/NOPB provides higher current at lower cost but lacks synchronous efficiency, thermal performance, and advanced control features essential for modern low-voltage loads.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS54350PWP?
The TPS54350PWP supports 3-A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C). This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with the PowerPAD soldered to a 3″ × 3″ 2-oz copper area and thermal vias. At ambient temperatures above 70°C, derating applies per the package dissipation table: 1.31 W at 70°C and 0.95 W at 85°C.
Does the TPS54350PWP require an external low-side MOSFET to operate?
No, the TPS54350PWP does not require an external low-side MOSFET. It can operate in non-synchronous mode using only an external Schottky diode from PH to ground. However, connecting an n-channel MOSFET to the LSG pin enables synchronous rectification, improving efficiency-especially at higher loads-by replacing diode conduction loss with lower RDS(on) loss.
How is the output voltage set on the TPS54350PWP?
The output voltage of the TPS54350PWP is set using a resistive divider from VOUT to AGND, feeding the VSENSE pin. The internal reference is 0.891 V, so R2 = R1 × (0.891 / (VOUT − 0.891)). For example, to set 3.3 V with R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 3.74 kΩ. The datasheet provides a table of common values and warns that minimum controllable on-time limits achievable VOUT at high fSW and low VIN.
Can the TPS54350PWP synchronize to an external clock source?
Yes, the TPS54350PWP can synchronize to an external clock via the SYNC pin-but only when the RT pin is configured with a resistor to AGND (i.e., externally setting switching frequency). In this mode, SYNC becomes a falling-edge-triggered input accepting frequencies from 225 kHz to 770 kHz. The RT resistor must be selected to program the oscillator within ±10% of the external sync frequency for reliable locking.
What thermal management requirements apply to the TPS54350PWP package?
The TPS54350PWP uses a 16-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package requiring soldering of the exposed thermal pad to a dedicated copper pour connected to PGND/AGND with ≥6 thermal vias (0.33 mm diameter, 1.5 mm pitch). Under worst-case conditions (TA = 85°C), the package power rating drops to 0.95 W; exceeding this without adequate heatsinking risks triggering thermal shutdown at 165°C.
