Product details
Overview
TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade 3-A, 60-V synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with voltage-mode control, programmable overvoltage/undervoltage supervision, and low-power mode (65 μA quiescent current). It integrates a high-side MOSFET, supports external frequency programming (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), and delivers regulated output from 0.9 V to 18 V in HTSSOP-20 package. Used in automotive telematics and navigation systems requiring robust transient immunity and precise power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 application, or TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to 125°C ambient), 65 μA light-load quiescent current, programmable reset delay via Cdly capacitor, slew-rate control via Rslew resistor, and 0.8 V ±1.5% internal reference for precision feedback.
Technical Context
The TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 implements voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward to improve line transient response. Its cycle-by-cycle current limit and thermal shutdown protect against overload and excessive junction temperature (175°C trip point).
It features dual supervisor inputs-RST_TH for undervoltage detection and OV_TH for overvoltage monitoring-both referenced to the same 0.8 V internal comparator threshold. Reset assertion includes a programmable delay (via Cdly) and fast negative-transient filtering (20 μs typical), while soft-start is controlled by an external capacitor on SS pin sourcing 50 μA typical.

Pinout & Package
TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed PowerPAD™ ground pad (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size), optimized for automotive PCB layouts requiring high thermal dissipation (RθJA = 43.8°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives gate of internal high-side FET; requires external capacitor between BOOT and PH |
| Cdly | Reset delay timing | Capacitor-to-ground sets power-on-reset delay (~1 ms/nF); enables precise system sequencing |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects external RC network for loop compensation; determines stability and transient response |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high digital input; internal pull-up allows direct connection to VIN for always-on operation |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path; connects to exposed thermal pad for optimal heat transfer |
| LPM | Low-power mode select | Digital input enabling PFM operation; internal 62 kΩ pulldown ensures default LPM disable |
| OV_TH | Overvoltage sense | Monitors V(VReg) via resistor divider; triggers internal switch OFF if output exceeds programmed threshold |
| PH | Switch node | Source of internal high-side FET; connects to external inductor and bootstrap capacitor |
| RST | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when V(VReg) falls below RST_TH threshold; requires external pull-up for logic-level interface |
| RST_TH | Reset threshold sense | Monitors V(VReg) via resistor divider; sets undervoltage detection point for RST assertion |
| RT | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-ground programs switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz |
| Rslew | Slew rate control | Resistor-to-ground adjusts gate drive strength to reduce EMI and optimize efficiency vs. noise trade-off |
| SS | Soft-start control | Capacitor-to-ground sets output ramp time; internal 50 μA current source enables predictable startup |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts external clock (180 kHz–2.2 MHz) to synchronize multiple converters and reduce beat frequencies |
| VIN | Main power input | Unregulated input (3.6–48 V); pins 18 and 19 must be shorted externally for proper current sharing |
| VReg | Regulated output | Provides 0.9–18 V output; internal 100 Ω load activates during startup and overvoltage events |
| VSENSE | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amplifier; compares divided V(VReg) against 0.8 V reference for regulation |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 42 V max input, 0.5 A output, constant-on-time control; lacks integrated reset supervision and Cdly delay | Lower current, no built-in reset function; requires external supervisor IC for POR sequencing | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications where external reset logic is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1?
The TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60 V on the VIN pin, allowing it to safely withstand automotive load-dump transients. Its recommended operating input range is 3.6 V to 48 V, making it suitable for both 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems. Operation above 48 V requires careful thermal design due to increased power dissipation.
How does the Cdly pin affect reset timing in the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1?
The Cdly pin on the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 accepts an external capacitor to ground that programs the power-on-reset (POR) delay. The device charges this capacitor with a 1.4–2.6 μA current, resulting in approximately 1 ms of delay per nanofarad. This enables precise control over system boot sequencing-critical for coordinating microcontroller initialization with peripheral power rails in automotive applications.
Can the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 operate in synchronization with other converters?
Yes, the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. It accepts an external clock signal between 180 kHz and 2.2 MHz, provided the external frequency is within 2× the internally programmed switching frequency (set by RT). This feature reduces beat frequencies and EMI in multi-rail automotive power systems, improving EMC compliance without requiring layout changes.
What is the purpose of the Rslew pin on the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1?
The Rslew pin on the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 controls the slew rate of the internal high-side MOSFET's gate drive. By connecting an external resistor (typically 10 kΩ to 50 kΩ) from Rslew to GND, designers adjust switching edge speed to balance EMI reduction against conduction losses. Lower resistance increases slew rate (faster edges, higher EMI); higher resistance slows edges (lower EMI, slightly reduced efficiency).
Does the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 provide overvoltage protection independent of reset signaling?
Yes-the TPS54362BQPWPRQ1 uses the OV_TH pin to monitor output voltage for overvoltage conditions independently of the RST_TH pin. When the divided V(VReg) exceeds the 0.8 V internal comparator threshold at OV_TH, the device immediately disables the internal switch to prevent output overvoltage, regardless of RST state. This provides hardware-level protection that does not rely on reset assertion or MCU intervention.
