Overview
TPS54495RSAT from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 90 mΩ high-side and 60 mΩ low-side N-channel MOSFETs, delivering 4 A on Channel 1 and 2 A on Channel 2. It operates across 4.5 V–18 V input, supports 0.76 V–7 V output per channel, and uses D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control for fast transient response in point-of-load regulation for digital TV, STB, and gaming console power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54495RSAT datasheet, TPS54495RSAT pinout, TPS54495RSAT application, or TPS54495RSAT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated HTSSOP-16 pin mapping, confirmed dual-channel soft-start and Eco-mode™ operation, and real-world design context for embedded power system integration.
Technical Context
The TPS54495RSAT implements D-CAP2™ control with no external compensation required, enabling stable operation with ceramic or low-ESR polymer output capacitors. Its adaptive on-time architecture sets pseudo-fixed 700 kHz switching frequency via VIN/VO ratio, while supporting seamless PWM-to-Eco-mode™ transition at light loads.
Each channel features lossless low-side RDS(on)-based current sensing with thermal compensation (4000 ppm/°C), cycle-by-cycle over-current protection, non-sinking pre-biased soft start, and independent enable/soft-start pins. Protection includes UVLO (VREG5-based), hiccup-mode overload recovery, and thermal shutdown at 155°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS54495RSAT is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed PowerPAD™ for PCB-level heat dissipation. The package measures 4.4 mm × 5 mm and requires soldering the thermal pad to a dedicated GND plane with ≥6 thermal vias for optimal θJB = 23.2°C/W performance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1 (Pin 1) | Power Input | Primary input supply for Channel 1 and internal 5.5 V LDO (VREG5); must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic + 0.1 µF local cap. |
| VBST1 (Pin 2) | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side FET gate; requires 0.1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic between VBST1 and SW1 for proper bootstrap charging. |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Connection point for Channel 1 inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| PGND1 (Pin 4) | Power Ground | Low-side FET source return for Channel 1; must be routed separately from SGND and tied to PowerPAD under IC. |
| EN1 (Pin 5) | Enable Input | Active-high logic control (2.0 V threshold); enables/disables Channel 1 independently - supports sequencing and power gating. |
| SS1 (Pin 6) | Soft-Start Output | Current-source pin (8 µA) to program startup ramp time; connect capacitor to GND to set tSS = CSS × 0.765 V / 8 µA. |
| VFB1 (Pin 7) | Feedback Input | Resistor-divider input for Channel 1 output voltage sensing; high-impedance (±0.4 µA) node requiring clean SGND routing. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Signal Ground | Reference for VFBx, SSx, ENx; must be star-connected to PGND1/PGND2 at single point near PowerPAD to avoid noise coupling. |
| VREG5 (Pin 9) | 5.5 V LDO Output | Internal regulator output powering VBSTx circuits; requires ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| VFB2 (Pin 10) | Feedback Input | Resistor-divider input for Channel 2 output voltage; electrically identical to VFB1 but isolated for dual-rail design. |
| SS2 (Pin 11) | Soft-Start Output | Independent soft-start for Channel 2; same 8 µA charge current as SS1 - enables staggered or synchronized startup. |
| EN2 (Pin 12) | Enable Input | Active-high enable for Channel 2; allows independent control or tie to EN1 for simultaneous activation. |
| PGND2 (Pin 13) | Power Ground | Low-side FET source return for Channel 2; separate path from PGND1 minimizes cross-talk in dual-output layouts. |
| SW2 (Pin 14) | Switch Node | Channel 2 inductor connection; shares same layout sensitivity as SW1 - keep short, wide, and away from sensitive nodes. |
| VBST2 (Pin 15) | Bootstrap Supply | High-side gate drive supply for Channel 2; requires dedicated 0.1 µF ceramic to SW2, not shared with VBST1. |
| VIN2 (Pin 16) | Power Input | Dedicated input for Channel 2; enables split-input architectures (e.g., 12 V for CH1, 5 V for CH2) or common input with isolation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ Control Mode | Eliminates external compensation components and enables stable operation with ceramic output capacitors down to 20 µF. |
| Auto-Skip Eco-mode™ | Maintains >85% efficiency at 10 mA load by entering discontinuous conduction mode - extends battery life in standby states. |
| Non-Sinking Pre-Biased Soft Start | Prevents reverse current flow during startup into pre-biased outputs - essential for hot-swap and rail-sequencing applications. |
| Thermally Compensated OCP | Current limit remains stable across –40°C to 125°C junction range due to 4000 ppm/°C rDS(on) tracking - improves safety margin. |
| Integrated VREG5 LDO | On-chip 5.5 V, 75 mA regulator powers internal gate drivers and eliminates need for external bias supply - reduces BOM count. |
| Hiccup-Mode Overload Protection | Shuts down for 7× soft-start time upon sustained overcurrent, then auto-retries - prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS544B20RJER | 4 A/4 A dual-channel, 4.5–18 V input, 0.6–5.5 V output, PMBus interface, 700 kHz fixed frequency. | Supports digital configuration and telemetry; requires external compensation; larger 3.5 mm × 3.5 mm VQFN-17 package. | Choose for systems needing voltage margining, fault logging, or dynamic output adjustment via PMBus. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | Single-channel 2 A buck, 4.5–28 V input, 0.8–15 V output, 500 kHz fixed frequency, no integrated LDO. | Requires two units for dual-rail; lacks D-CAP2™ transient response and pre-biased soft start; lower thermal performance (θJA = 60°C/W). | Choose only when cost is primary constraint and dual-rail sequencing/efficiency at light load are non-critical. |
Compared with TPS54495RSAT, TPS544B20RJER adds digital control at the cost of higher BOM complexity and no Eco-mode™, while MP2451DT-LF-Z sacrifices integration, transient performance, and thermal efficiency to reduce unit cost - making TPS54495RSAT optimal for space-constrained, high-transient, and battery-sensitive dual-rail designs.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor configuration for TPS54495RSAT?
TI specifies a minimum 10 µF ceramic bulk capacitor on each VIN pin (VIN1 and VIN2), plus 0.1 µF X5R/X7R ceramics placed directly at Pins 1 and 16 to ground. This dual-tier decoupling suppresses high-frequency switching noise and stabilizes the input rail during large load transients. The TPS54495RSAT datasheet confirms these values are mandatory for reliable operation across the full 4.5–18 V input range.
Does TPS54495RSAT support independent voltage sequencing between its two channels?
Yes, TPS54495RSAT supports full independent sequencing via separate EN1/EN2 and SS1/SS2 pins. Engineers can delay Channel 2 startup relative to Channel 1 by adjusting the SS2 capacitor value or holding EN2 low until EN1 is asserted. This capability is explicitly documented in the Functional Block Diagram and Design Guide sections of the TPS54495RSAT datasheet for applications requiring strict power-up order.
Can TPS54495RSAT operate with ceramic output capacitors only, without electrolytics or POSCAPs?
Yes, TPS54495RSAT is fully compatible with ceramic-only output filters due to its D-CAP2™ control architecture. The datasheet states "Compatible with Ceramic Output Capacitors" as a key feature and validates stability with 20–68 µF X5R/X7R ceramics. No additional ESR or polymer capacitors are required - a direct result of the internal high-frequency zero that compensates for ceramic's near-zero ESR.
What is the thermal performance difference between TPS54495RSAT's HTSSOP package and the VQFN variant?
TPS54495RSAT in HTSSOP (PWP) has θJA = 41.4°C/W and θJB = 23.2°C/W, while the VQFN (RSA) variant achieves θJA = 32.8°C/W and θJB = 9.9°C/W. The HTSSOP's larger footprint and exposed PowerPAD™ still deliver robust thermal performance, especially when using ≥6 thermal vias to an inner GND plane - sufficient for 4 A/2 A continuous operation at 85°C ambient.
How does the non-sinking pre-biased soft start function in TPS54495RSAT?
TPS54495RSAT detects when the output voltage exceeds the soft-start reference and initiates synchronous rectification with narrow, incrementally widening low-side gate pulses - preventing reverse current flow into a pre-biased rail. This behavior is confirmed in the Detailed Description section and Figure 11 (VO2 SoftStart) of the TPS54495RSAT datasheet, making it ideal for hot-swap and multi-supply systems.
