Product details
Overview
TPS54355PWP from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck PWM converter with integrated 100 mΩ high-side MOSFET, supporting 2.5 V fixed output at up to 3 A continuous current, 500 kHz switching frequency (RT pin floating), and external low-side MOSFET drive via LSG pin for enhanced efficiency in point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54355PWP datasheet, TPS54355PWP pinout, TPS54355PWP application, or TPS54355PWP equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5 V fixed output, 4.5–20 V input range, internal slow-start (2.2 ms at 500 kHz), Power Good (PWRGD) open-drain status signal, and 180° synchronization capability for multi-phase input ripple reduction.
Technical Context
The TPS54355PWP implements feed-forward PWM modulation with constant modulator gain (8 V/V) independent of input voltage, enabling stable transient response across 4.5–20 V input. Its adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through by sequencing LSG and PH driver turn-on based on gate voltage thresholds (<1 V).
It features a bidirectional SYNC pin that operates as an output (180° out-of-phase falling edge relative to PH) when RT is floating or grounded, or as a falling-edge-triggered input when RT is resistor-programmed - enabling precise multi-converter phase alignment without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±1% over 100 mA–3 A load, TJ = 25°C; ±2% over full temperature/load range |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 20 V - supports 5 V, 12 V, and 19 V nominal rails common in industrial and computing systems |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (RT pin floating) - enables compact magnetics and reduced output ripple vs. 250 kHz mode |
| Continuous Output Current | 3 A - sustained delivery with thermal shutdown at 165°C and current limit hiccup recovery |
| High-Side rDS(ON) | 100–200 mΩ at VIN = 12 V - determines conduction loss and thermal rise under full load |
| Power Good Threshold | 97% of nominal output (2.425 V) with 4 ms rising-edge delay at 250 kHz - ensures reliable system power sequencing |
| UVLO Start/Stop | Internal thresholds: 4.49 V start / 3.69 V stop - configurable via external divider on UVLO pin |
Pinout & Package
TPS54355PWP uses a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad tied to PGND/AGND for improved junction-to-board thermal resistance (42.1°C/W with soldered pad).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1, 2) | Main input supply connection | Bypassed with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor; supplies high-side switch and bias regulator |
| UVLO (Pin 3) | Undervoltage lockout control | External resistor divider overrides default 4.49 V startup threshold; hysteresis = 350 mV |
| PWRGD (Pin 4) | Open-drain power status indicator | Drives low if VSENSE < 97%, during thermal shutdown, overcurrent, or slow-start - no pull-up required |
| RT (Pin 5) | Frequency programming node | Ground = 250 kHz; floating = 500 kHz; resistor to AGND sets 250–700 kHz - also controls SYNC I/O mode |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | Bidirectional synchronization interface | Outputs 180°-out-of-phase falling edge when RT floating; accepts falling-edge sync input when RT resistor-set |
| ENA (Pin 7) | Enable/disable control | Logic high (≥1.8 V) enables operation; ≤0.5 V disables with internal slow-start reset |
| COMP (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output | Internal node - must remain unconnected; drives PWM comparator with 1.5 mA capability |
| VSENSE (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amp; compares against 0.891 V internal reference to regulate output |
| AGND (Pin 10) | Analog ground reference | Internally connects to precision analog circuitry; must be tied to PGND and PowerPAD |
| PGND (Pin 11) | Power ground return | Carries high di/dt currents from LSG driver; ties to AGND and PowerPAD for low-noise layout |
| VBIAS (Pin 12) | Internal 8.0 V bias supply | Provides gate drive for LSG and internal analog blocks; requires 1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramic bypass |
| LSG (Pin 13) | Low-side gate driver output | 100 mA sink/source capable; directly drives n-channel MOSFET gate - no series resistor allowed |
| PH (Pins 14, 15) | Phase node connection | Connects to LC filter inductor; carries high-frequency switching current and boot capacitor return path |
| BOOT (Pin 16) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Requires 0.1 µF ceramic cap to PH; supplies gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100 mΩ high-side MOSFET | Reduces component count and PCB area vs. controller-only solutions; enables 3 A continuous output without external high-side switch |
| Configurable 180° synchronization | Enables dual-phase operation with shared input capacitor and halved RMS input ripple - critical for EMI-sensitive industrial designs |
| Internally compensated error amplifier | Eliminates need for external compensation network; simplifies design while maintaining >60 dB open-loop gain and 2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth |
| Adaptive dead-time control | Prevents shoot-through by dynamically sequencing PH and LSG driver turn-on based on actual gate voltages - improves reliability at light loads |
| Programmable undervoltage lockout | Allows system-level brown-out protection tuning via external resistor divider on UVLO pin - avoids premature startup during rail ramp-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54356PWP | Fixed 3.3 V output; identical pinout, package, and feature set except output voltage and UVLO thresholds | Used where 3.3 V logic rail is required instead of 2.5 V; same thermal and layout design applies | Select TPS54356PWP only when 3.3 V output is needed - no change to PCB or support components required |
| LM2678SD-2.5/NOPB | Non-synchronous buck regulator; 2.5 V fixed output; 5 A rating; SO-8 package; no LSG, SYNC, or PWRGD pins | Lacks synchronization, power-good signaling, and synchronous efficiency - suitable only for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications | Choose LM2678SD-2.5/NOPB only if 500 kHz operation, multi-phase sync, or precise power sequencing are not required |
Compared with TPS54355PWP, TPS54356PWP offers identical functionality at 3.3 V output - ideal for pin-compatible migration - while LM2678SD-2.5/NOPB trades advanced features for lower cost and simpler layout in non-critical 2.5 V applications.

FAQ
What is the fixed output voltage of the TPS54355PWP?
The TPS54355PWP delivers a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 2.5 V with ±1% tolerance at 25°C and 100 mA–3 A load. Over full temperature and line conditions, output remains within ±2% of nominal, verified per Electrical Characteristics table in SLVS519A.
Does the TPS54355PWP require external compensation components?
No, the TPS54355PWP features an internally compensated error amplifier - no external RC network is needed on the COMP pin. Pin 8 (COMP) is an internal node and must remain unconnected to maintain stability and specified loop response.
How does the TPS54355PWP achieve 180° out-of-phase synchronization?
When the RT pin is left floating, the TPS54355PWP configures its SYNC pin as an output generating a falling-edge signal precisely 180° out of phase with the rising edge of the PH pin. This enables two TPS54355PWP devices to share input capacitance and reduce RMS input ripple by √2.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS54355PWP in a standard PCB layout?
With the PowerPAD soldered to a 2 oz. copper board meeting TI's test conditions (SLVS519A Figure 47), the TPS54355PWP achieves 42.1°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. At 3 A and 12 V input, this allows continuous operation up to 70°C ambient before reaching 125°C max junction temperature.
Can the TPS54355PWP operate without an external low-side MOSFET?
Yes - the TPS54355PWP supports diode-based operation. Leave LSG pin open and connect a Schottky diode from PGND to PH. The internal pulldown MOSFET maintains light-load CCM, but efficiency drops ~3–5% versus synchronous mode with an external MOSFET.
