Product details
Overview
TPS54360DDA from Texas Instruments is a 60-V input, 3.5-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 92-mΩ high-side MOSFET, Eco-mode™ pulse-skipping for light-load efficiency, and adjustable 100-kHz–2.5-MHz switching frequency. It operates across –40°C to 150°C junction temperature and supports industrial 12-V/24-V/48-V power systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54360DDA datasheet, TPS54360DDA pinout, TPS54360DDA application, or TPS54360DDA equivalent, key selection criteria include input UVLO adjustability via EN pin, BOOT-recharge FET integration for low-dropout operation, 0.8-V ±1% reference accuracy, current-mode control stability, and ISO 7637 load-dump survivability up to 65 V.
Technical Context
The TPS54360DDA implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier (350 μ℧ transconductance) drives COMP to modulate high-side switch conduction based on FB feedback and sensed inductor current.
Switching frequency is set either by an external RT resistor (100–2500 kHz range) or synchronized to an external clock via RT/CLK pin. The integrated BOOT recharge FET enables >99% duty cycle operation, while frequency foldback and thermal shutdown protect during overload conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 60 V - supports wide industrial/automotive rails; survives 65-V ISO 7637 load dump transients. |
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - delivers regulated power to microcontrollers, sensors, or communication ICs without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 2.5 MHz - enables optimization of inductor size (low f) or efficiency (high f) per design constraints. |
| Quiescent Current | 146 µA in Eco-mode - extends battery life in always-on systems; drops to 2 µA in shutdown. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8 V ±1% - sets precise output voltage via resistive divider; enables 0.8 V minimum VOUT with scalable regulation. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 92 mΩ typical at VIN = 12 V - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in compact 8-pin HSOIC PowerPAD™ package. |
| UVLO Threshold | Internally 4.3 V rising, adjustable via EN pin - allows custom input turn-on/off behavior for system sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54360DDA is housed in an 8-terminal thermally enhanced HSOIC (DDA) package with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad (Pin 9), measuring 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm. The PowerPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT (Pin 1) | Bootstrap supply node | Connects to SW via 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; monitored for UVLO to prevent shoot-through. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V; powers internal bias circuitry and high-side driver; requires local bulk and high-frequency decoupling. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable & UVLO control | Pulled up internally; pull below 1.2 V to disable; configure with resistor divider to raise start-up threshold for system-level sequencing. |
| RT/CLK (Pin 4) | Frequency programming/sync input | Set fSW with resistor to GND (100–2500 kHz); or accept external clock signal (160–2300 kHz) for EMI reduction or multi-rail synchronization. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to set regulated output voltage per VREF = 0.8 V. |
| COMP (Pin 6) | Error amplifier output | Connects to compensation network (R-C-RC); controls PWM comparator; clamped at 600 mV in Eco-mode to skip pulses. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog & power ground | Reference for FB, COMP, EN; ties to PowerPAD; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling into control loop. |
| SW (Pin 8) | Switching node | Source of internal high-side MOSFET and drain of external low-side diode or synchronous rectifier; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Eco-mode™ pulse skipping | Reduces no-load input current to 146 µA by disabling switching when load demand falls below threshold-critical for energy-sensitive remote sensors. |
| Integrated BOOT recharge FET | Enables >99% duty cycle operation without external diode; maintains gate drive during low VIN–VOUT differential-supports buck operation down to ~0.8 V output. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Ensures stable loop response across full duty cycle range (including >50%), simplifying compensation design and improving transient immunity. |
| Accurate 0.8-V reference (±1%) | Allows precise output voltage setting (e.g., 3.3 V ±1.5%) using standard 1% resistors-eliminates need for trimming in production test. |
| Thermal & overvoltage protection | Thermal shutdown at 176°C with 12°C hysteresis and OVP comparator limiting output overshoot to ≤106%-prevents damage during fault conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TPS54360DDA can withstand during transients?
The TPS54360DDA is rated for 65 V absolute maximum input voltage and is specifically designed to survive ISO 7637-2 load dump pulses up to 65 V. This makes it suitable for automotive and industrial applications with high-energy transients. Continuous operation is specified from 4.5 V to 60 V. Exceeding 65 V-even briefly-may cause permanent damage.
How does the TPS54360DDA achieve low dropout operation near 100% duty cycle?
The TPS54360DDA achieves low dropout via an integrated BOOT recharge FET that actively pulls SW low when BOOT–SW voltage falls below 2.1 V, refreshing the bootstrap capacitor without requiring an external diode. This allows sustained operation at VIN–VOUT differentials as low as ~0.2 V, enabling output voltages approaching the minimum input rail.
Can the TPS54360DDA be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the valid frequency and voltage levels?
Yes, the TPS54360DDA supports external clock synchronization via the RT/CLK pin. When driven with a logic-level clock signal (0.5–2 V thresholds), it accepts frequencies from 160 kHz to 2.3 MHz. The internal PLL locks within 78 µs, and clock edges must meet minimum 15-ns pulse width. Clocking stops automatically revert to RT-resistor mode.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin, and how is it used in compensation design?
COMP is the output of the transconductance error amplifier (350 µ℧ typical) and serves as the control node for the PWM comparator. It connects to an external Type II or Type III compensation network (typically R-C-RC) between COMP and FB. Proper compensation ensures phase margin >45°, stabilizes the current-mode loop, and manages response to load transients.
Does the TPS54360DDA require a minimum load to maintain regulation?
No, the TPS54360DDA does not require a minimum load. In Eco-mode™, it dynamically skips switching pulses under light loads and draws only 146 µA quiescent current at no load. Regulation is maintained from 0 A to 3.5 A output current, with output voltage accuracy held to ±1% of 0.8 V reference across the full load and temperature range.
