Product details
Overview
TPS5450DDAG4 from Texas Instruments is a 5-A, wide-input-range synchronous step-down (buck) DC/DC converter with an integrated 110-mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET, fixed 500-kHz switching frequency, 1.221-V internal reference (±1.5% initial accuracy), and operation from 5.5 V to 36 V input. It delivers regulated 5-V output at full load in LCD display power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS5450DDAG4 datasheet, TPS5450DDAG4 pinout, TPS5450DDAG4 application, or TPS5450DDAG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compliance, thermal performance in SOIC PowerPAD™, enable/shutdown behavior, internal compensation suitability for low-external-component designs, and overcurrent hiccup-mode response under short-circuit conditions.
Technical Context
The TPS5450DDAG4 implements constant-frequency voltage-mode control with integrated voltage feed-forward to maintain stable loop gain across input variations-feed-forward gain is 25. Its internal slow-start ramps the reference linearly over 8 ms typical to limit inrush current and output overshoot.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting (6–9 A trip), overvoltage protection triggered at 112.5% × VREF, thermal shutdown at 135–162°C with 14°C hysteresis, and undervoltage lockout with 5.3 V start threshold and 330 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 36 V - supports direct connection to 12-V and 24-V industrial bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 5 A continuous / 6 A peak - sufficient for powering FPGA core rails or multi-channel display backlight drivers. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz ±100 kHz - enables compact LC filter design with standard 10–15 µH inductors and ≤22 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Voltage Reference | 1.221 V ±1.5% at 25°C - sets minimum adjustable output; combined with external resistor divider, achieves tight regulation (e.g., 5.0 V ±2% over line/load/temp). |
| Shutdown Current | 18 µA typical - allows battery-backed systems to maintain >1-year standby life when disabled via ENA pin. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 30°C/W (custom board) - requires exposed PowerPAD soldered to ≥4 thermal vias for full 5-A operation at 125°C junction temperature. |
| MOSFET rDS(on) | 110 mΩ typical at 5.5 V - contributes to >90% efficiency at 12 VIN/5 VOUT, 3 A, reducing heat sink requirements. |
Pinout & Package
TPS5450DDAG4 uses an 8-pin HSOP (DDA) package with thermally enhanced PowerPAD™ (Pin 9, exposed bottom pad). Package dimensions are 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm. The PowerPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for electrical and thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.01-µF X7R/X5R ceramic between BOOT and PH to supply gate drive for integrated high-side MOSFET. |
| NC (2,3) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded-no routing or trace required. |
| VSENSE | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage divider midpoint; regulates output by comparing to 1.221-V internal reference. |
| ENA | Enable control | Active-high logic: ≥1.3 V enables, ≤0.5 V disables; internal pullup allows floating for default-on operation. |
| GND | Power ground | Reference for all internal circuits; connects directly to PowerPAD for lowest impedance return path. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 5.5–36 V; requires local 4.7-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm of pin. |
| PH | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current-requires short, wide copper pour and Kelvin return to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-side MOSFET | 110-mΩ rDS(on) eliminates external switch, reduces BOM count, and simplifies layout for high-current buck stages. |
| Internal compensation | Type-3 network embedded on-die-removes need for external compensation components and avoids stability tuning during prototyping. |
| Voltage feed-forward | Fixed gain of 25 improves transient response to input voltage steps and simplifies loop analysis across 5.5–36 V input range. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | After 13–20 ms fault duration, device shuts down, cools, then auto-restarts-prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or short circuit. |
| Thermally enhanced PowerPAD™ | Exposed pad (Pin 9) provides <0.8°C/W RθJC(bot)-enables 5-A operation without heatsink when properly soldered to 2-oz copper plane with ≥4 thermal vias. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS5450DDAR | Same silicon, tape-and-reel packaging (vs. tube for DDAG4); identical electrical specs and pinout. | No functional difference-used interchangeably where packaging format aligns with production assembly method. | Select DDAR for SMT pick-and-place lines requiring reel-fed feeders; DDAG4 suits manual or small-batch insertion. |
| LM2678-5.0 | Fixed 5-V output (non-adjustable), 5-A rating, 260-mΩ MOSFET, 260-kHz switching, no internal compensation. | Lacks adjustable output, feed-forward, and hiccup-mode OCP-less suitable for dynamic loads or wide-input systems. | Choose LM2678-5.0 only for cost-sensitive, fixed-output applications where 5-V is mandatory and input stays near 12 V. |
Compared with TPS5450DDAG4, TPS5450DDAR offers identical performance in reel format for high-volume automation, while LM2678-5.0 trades adjustability, efficiency, and protection features for lower unit cost in static 5-V applications.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the TPS5450DDAG4?
The TPS5450DDAG4 has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 40 V, but recommended operating input voltage is limited to 5.5 V–36 V. Exceeding 36 V risks triggering overvoltage protection or damaging internal circuitry, especially during transients. Always use input filtering and clamping if system-level surges exceed 36 V.
Does the TPS5450DDAG4 require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the TPS5450DDAG4 integrates the bootstrap recharge diode internally. Only a 0.01-µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor between BOOT and PH pins is required. Adding an external diode is unnecessary and may interfere with proper gate drive operation.
Can the TPS5450DDAG4 operate with an input voltage below 5.5 V?
The TPS5450DDAG4 incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with a typical start threshold of 5.3 V and hysteresis of 330 mV. Operation below 5.3 V is disabled; at 5.3–5.5 V, functionality is marginal and not guaranteed across temperature or process variation. Design for ≥5.5 V nominal input.
How is thermal performance affected if the PowerPAD is not soldered?
If the PowerPAD (Pin 9) is not soldered to the PCB ground plane, RθJC(bot) degrades from 0.8°C/W to >10°C/W, causing rapid junction temperature rise. At 5 A load, unsoldered PowerPAD can exceed 150°C junction limit within seconds, triggering thermal shutdown. Full thermal performance requires verified solder joint coverage and ≥4 thermal vias.
What is the purpose of the voltage feed-forward feature in the TPS5450DDAG4?
The voltage feed-forward in the TPS5450DDAG4 maintains constant modulator gain across input voltage changes by scaling the PWM ramp inversely with VIN. With a fixed gain of 25, it improves line transient response and simplifies loop compensation-critical for stable regulation when input varies from 5.5 V to 36 V.
