Product details
Overview
TPS54352PWPR from Texas Instruments is a 1.2-V fixed-output, 3-A continuous synchronous buck PWM converter with integrated 100-mΩ high-side MOSFET and external low-side MOSFET driver (LSG), operating from 4.5 V to 20 V input, featuring 250 kHz or 500 kHz fixed switching frequency, internal slow-start, and power-good (PWRGD) output - used in point-of-load regulation for FPGAs and microprocessors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54352PWPR datasheet, TPS54352PWPR pinout, TPS54352PWPR application, or TPS54352PWPR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin TSSOP PowerPAD package, UVLO adjustability via external resistor divider, 180° synchronization capability, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 7°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The TPS54352PWPR implements a feed-forward modulator with constant 8 V/V gain across input voltage range, enabling stable transient response without loop compensation components. Its adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through by sequencing LSG and PH driver turn-on based on gate voltage thresholds below 1 V.
It uses an internally trimmed 0.891-V reference with true voltage amplifier error stage (60 dB open-loop gain, 2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth), and supports bidirectional SYNC operation - output mode when RT is grounded/floating, input mode when RT is resistor-set - enabling precise 180° out-of-phase interleaving for reduced input ripple.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±1% over 100 mA–3 A load, enabling direct core supply for low-voltage DSPs and ASICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 20 V - supports wide industrial input rails including 5 V, 12 V, and 19 V adapter supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 250 kHz (RT grounded) or 500 kHz (RT floating) - balances efficiency vs. size; adjustable up to 700 kHz with external RT resistor. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3 A - sustained delivery with integrated 100-mΩ high-side MOSFET and thermally enhanced PowerPAD package. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C trip point with 7°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Power Good Threshold | 97% of nominal output (1.164 V) with rising-edge delay of 4 ms (at 250 kHz) - ensures reliable system power sequencing. |
| UVLO Start/Stop | 4.49 V start / 3.69 V stop (typical), adjustable via external resistor divider on UVLO pin - prevents erratic startup under brownout. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54352PWPR is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad tied to PGND/AGND - requires soldered thermal vias and copper pour for rated 2.36 W power dissipation at TA = 25°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 VIN | Input supply rail | Bypassed with 10-µF ceramic capacitor; feeds high-side MOSFET and bias regulator. |
| 3 UVLO | Undervoltage lockout control | External resistor divider overrides default 4.49 V start threshold; must not connect directly to VIN. |
| 4 PWRGD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low during fault conditions (UVLO, overcurrent, thermal shutdown, slow-start); requires external pullup. |
| 5 RT | Frequency setting | Ground = 250 kHz; floating = 500 kHz; resistor-to-AGND sets 250–700 kHz - also configures SYNC I/O direction. |
| 6 SYNC | Bidirectional sync interface | Outputs falling edge 180° out-of-phase with PH when RT grounded/floating; accepts falling-edge input when RT resistor-set. |
| 7 ENA | Enable/disable control | Logic-high enables; <0.5 V disables and resets slow-start; internal 5-µA pullup - no external pullup allowed. |
| 8 COMP | Error amplifier output | Internal node - no external connection permitted; drives PWM comparator and provides loop compensation access. |
| 9 VSENSE | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 0.891-V internal reference. |
| 10 AGND | Analog ground reference | Internally connected to sensitive analog circuitry; must be tied to PGND and PowerPAD. |
| 11 PGND | Power ground return | Carries high di/dt currents from LSG driver; connects to AGND and PowerPAD for low-impedance path. |
| 12 VBIAS | Internal 7.8-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 source/sink capable; directly drives n-channel MOSFET gate - no series resistor recommended. |
| 14, 15 PH | Phase node connection | Connects to LC filter inductor; carries high-frequency switching current; BOOT capacitor ties here. |
| 16 BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and PH supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-side MOSFET | 100-mΩ RDS(on) at 12 VIN, enabling >90% efficiency at 3 A with minimal external components. |
| 180° out-of-phase synchronization | SYNC pin automatically generates or accepts falling-edge signal - reduces input RMS current and capacitor stress in dual-rail systems. |
| Internally compensated architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation network - simplifies layout and accelerates design cycle for standard applications. |
| Adaptive dead-time control | Prevents shoot-through by dynamically delaying LSG/PH driver turn-on until opposing gate voltage falls below 1 V. |
| Programmable undervoltage lockout | UVLO pin accepts external resistor divider - allows precise start/stop thresholds independent of input rail tolerance. |
Applications
| Point-of-Load Regulation for FPGA Core | Industrial 12-V Input DC/DC Conversion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54356PWPR | Fixed 3.3-V output; identical pinout, package, and feature set except output voltage and UVLO thresholds. | Used where 3.3-V I/O rail required instead of 1.2-V core rail - no PCB change needed if output voltage divider omitted. | Select TPS54356PWPR only when 3.3-V output is required; same thermal and layout constraints apply. |
| MP2332HGTL-Z | Monolithic 3-A buck converter (no external LSG); 1.2-V fixed output; 500 kHz default; smaller 8-pin SOIC-EP package. | Lacks SYNC, UVLO adjust, and LSG driver - suitable for space-constrained, cost-sensitive designs without interleaving or external FET needs. | Choose MP2332HGTL-Z for simplified BOM and layout; avoid if 180° sync, programmable UVLO, or discrete low-side FET optimization is required. |
Compared with TPS54352PWPR, TPS54356PWPR offers identical functionality at 3.3 V but cannot regulate 1.2 V, while MP2332HGTL-Z trades flexibility (SYNC, UVLO, LSG) for integration and footprint reduction - making it unsuitable for high-efficiency or multi-rail synchronized systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS54352PWPR?
The TPS54352PWPR delivers 3 A continuous output current with proper PCB thermal design - verified under TJ ≤ 125°C, VIN = 12 V, VO = 1.2 V, and fs = 500 kHz. Its 100-mΩ high-side MOSFET and PowerPAD package enable this rating without external heatsinking when using ≥2 oz. copper and thermal vias.
Does the TPS54352PWPR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54352PWPR is internally compensated - eliminating the need for external RC networks on the COMP pin. This simplifies layout and ensures stable operation across its specified input/output ranges and load conditions without tuning.
How is the switching frequency configured on the TPS54352PWPR?
The TPS54352PWPR supports three frequency modes: 250 kHz (RT grounded), 500 kHz (RT floating), or adjustable 250–700 kHz (RT connected to AGND via resistor). The RT resistor value determines frequency per RT(kΩ) = 46000 / fs(kHz) − 35.9.
Can the TPS54352PWPR synchronize to an external clock signal?
Yes - when an RT resistor sets the oscillator frequency, the SYNC pin becomes a falling-edge-triggered input. It accepts external clocks from 225 kHz to 770 kHz, with timing resistor tuned to 90–110% of the external frequency for reliable locking.
What thermal protection features does the TPS54352PWPR include?
The TPS54352PWPR incorporates thermal shutdown at 165°C with 7°C hysteresis, plus overcurrent protection with hiccup-mode recovery (4.5 ms off-time at 500 kHz). Both features disable the high-side MOSFET and reset the internal slow-start circuit to prevent damage during sustained overload.
