Product details
Overview
TPS54560BQDDARQ1 from Texas Instruments is a 4.5 V to 60 V input, 5 A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated 92 mΩ high-side MOSFET, Eco-mode™ pulse-skipping for light-load efficiency, 0.8 V ±1% internal reference, and adjustable UVLO. It operates in automotive environments up to 150°C junction temperature and survives ISO 7637 load dump pulses up to 65 V.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 datasheet, TPS54560BQDDARQ1 pinout, TPS54560BQDDARQ1 application, or TPS54560BQDDARQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100 kHz–2.5 MHz programmable switching frequency, BOOT-recharge FET enabling >99% duty cycle, current-mode control with external compensation, thermal shutdown at 176°C, and HSOP PowerPAD™ package optimized for automotive power rail conversion.
Technical Context
The TPS54560BQDDARQ1 implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with an internal transconductance error amplifier (350 μA/V), slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle, and frequency foldback during overcurrent or soft-start. Its RT/CLK pin supports both resistor-programmed frequency (100–2500 kHz) and external clock synchronization via PLL.
It integrates a bootstrap recharge FET to maintain gate drive under low dropout conditions, monitors BOOT–SW voltage for UVLO protection, and uses a 0.8 V precision reference with 1% tolerance across –40°C to 150°C. Overvoltage transient protection disables the high-side switch when output exceeds 106% of regulation.

Pinout & Package
TPS54560BQDDARQ1 is housed in an 8-terminal HSOP (High-Speed Small Outline Package) with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad (4.89 mm × 3.9 mm body). The PowerPAD must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane for proper thermal performance and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply node | Connects to SW via 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; monitored for UVLO |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–60 V; includes internal 4.3 V UVLO and 65 V absolute max rating for load dump robustness |
| EN | Enable and UVLO adjust | Pull below 1.2 V to disable; float or bias with resistor divider to raise UVLO threshold |
| RT/CLK | Frequency programming/sync | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; external clock edges synchronize switching via internal PLL |
| FB | Feedback input | Inverting input of error amp; connects to resistor divider for output voltage setting (VOUT = 0.8 V × (1 + RH/RL)) |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network; controls PWM comparator; clamped at 600 mV in Eco-mode |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for VIN, SW, and PowerPAD; must be low-impedance connection to thermal plane |
| SW | Switching node | Source of internal high-side MOSFET; connects to external inductor and BOOT capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Eco-mode™ pulse skipping | Reduces no-load quiescent current to 146 µA while maintaining regulated output and fast transient response |
| Integrated BOOT recharge FET | Enables >99% duty cycle operation without external diode; supports ultra-low dropout (e.g., 12 V → 11.5 V) |
| Adjustable UVLO with hysteresis | Allows custom start-up voltage (e.g., 9 V for engine cranking) and prevents oscillation near threshold |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Ensures stable operation at all duty cycles ≥50%; simplifies loop compensation with single-pole dominant pole |
| Overvoltage transient protection (OVP) | Disables high-side switch if output exceeds 106% of target, preventing damage to downstream 3.3 V/5 V logic |
| Internal soft-start | 2.1 ms (at 500 kHz) controlled ramp minimizes inrush current and output overshoot during power-up |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | 4.5–65 V input, 1.5 A, 1.5 MHz max fSW, no Eco-mode, higher RDS(on) (220 mΩ) | Better suited for lower-current, higher-frequency designs where footprint is critical but light-load efficiency is secondary | Select when 1.5 A output suffices and smaller solution size outweighs quiescent current requirements |
| TPS54360BQDDARQ1 | Same family, 3.5 A output, identical pinout and features except reduced current rating and slightly lower RDS(on) (110 mΩ) | Drop-in replacement where 3.5 A is sufficient; shares same layout, compensation, and thermal design | Choose for cost-sensitive or lower-power automotive modules requiring proven layout reuse |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 can withstand during load dump events?
The TPS54560BQDDARQ1 is designed to survive load dump pulses up to 65 V per ISO 7637-2, with an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65 V. Its internal circuitry remains functional and undamaged under these transient conditions, making it suitable for direct connection to automotive battery rails without additional TVS clamping in many implementations.
Does the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 integrates a bootstrap recharge FET, eliminating the need for an external bootstrap diode. This reduces component count and PCB area while enabling reliable high-duty-cycle operation - for example, stepping 12 V down to 11.5 V - by automatically refreshing the BOOT capacitor when the high-side MOSFET is off.
How does Eco-mode™ improve efficiency at light loads in the TPS54560BQDDARQ1?
Eco-mode™ in the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 reduces switching activity at light loads by entering pulse-skipping mode when output regulation is maintained and peak switch current falls below ~1.2 A (corresponding to 600 mV on COMP). This lowers no-load quiescent current to 146 µA, significantly extending battery runtime in always-on automotive systems without sacrificing regulation accuracy or transient response.
Can the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 synchronize its switching frequency to an external clock source?
Yes, the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 supports external clock synchronization via its RT/CLK pin. When driven with a TTL/CMOS-compatible clock signal exceeding the internal PLL thresholds (1.55–2 V high, 0.5–1.2 V low), the device disables its internal oscillator and locks its switching edge to the falling edge of the external clock, reducing EMI in noise-sensitive systems like infotainment or ADAS.
What thermal management is required for the TPS54560BQDDARQ1 in automotive applications?
The TPS54560BQDDARQ1 requires soldering its exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad to a dedicated PCB copper pour connected to internal ground planes. With θJA = 42.0°C/W on a standard board, maintaining junction temperature ≤150°C demands adequate copper area, possible airflow, and derating at high ambient temperatures - especially critical in under-hood deployments where ambient may reach 105°C.
