Product details
Overview
TPS54622RHLT from Texas Instruments is a 4.5-V to 17-V input, 6-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a thermally enhanced 3.5-mm × 3.5-mm VQFN-14 package with exposed thermal pad. It integrates 26-mΩ high-side and 19-mΩ low-side N-channel MOSFETs, features 200-kHz to 1.6-MHz adjustable switching frequency, 0.6-V ±1% reference, hiccup current limiting, and power-good monitoring - used in high-density point-of-load regulation for networking and optical infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the TPS54622RHLT datasheet, TPS54622RHLT pinout, TPS54622RHLT application, or TPS54622RHLT equivalent, key selection considerations include its split-rail PVIN (1.6 V–17 V) support, monotonic prebiased startup, RT/CLK synchronization capability, BOOT-PH UVLO threshold (2.1 V), and thermal shutdown hiccup recovery (16384 cycles).
Technical Context
The TPS54622RHLT implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation across 0–100% duty cycle. Its error amplifier (1300 μA/V transconductance, 1000–3100 V/V DC gain) compares VSENSE against either the 0.6-V reference or SS/TR voltage, enabling tracking and sequencing.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle high-side current limit (8–14 A), bidirectional low-side sourcing/sinking limits (6.5–15 A / 2–4 A), overvoltage lockout (92–106% Vref), and thermal shutdown at 160–175°C with 10°C hysteresis and hiccup restart after 16384 cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | VIN: 4.5 V–17 V; PVIN: 1.6 V–17 V - enables split-rail operation for low-voltage power stages while maintaining control logic supply integrity. |
| Output Current | 6 A continuous - supports high-current FPGA, ASIC, and DSP core rails without external current sharing. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz–1.6 MHz (RT resistor or external clock sync) - allows optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency and EMI filtering requirements. |
| Voltage Reference | 0.6 V ±1% over –40°C to +150°C - ensures stable output regulation across industrial temperature range with minimal drift. |
| Current Limit Threshold | High-side: 8–14 A; Low-side sink: 2–4 A - provides robust overload protection while preventing reverse-current runaway during light-load or prebias conditions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C–175°C trip, 10°C hysteresis, hiccup restart after 16384 cycles - avoids latch-off failure and enables autonomous recovery in thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±2% Vref window (94–104% for "good", 92–106% for fault) - delivers precise system-level power sequencing and fault detection without external comparators. |
Pinout & Package
TPS54622RHLT uses a 14-pin VQFN package (3.5 mm × 3.5 mm) with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 15) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT (13) | Bootstrap gate drive supply | Connects to external ceramic capacitor (0.1–1 μF) between BOOT and PH; enables high-side MOSFET drive; monitored for UVLO (2.1 V threshold). |
| COMP (8) | Error amplifier output | Interface for Type II/III compensation network; drives current comparator; requires RC network to ground for stability. |
| EN (10) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.21 V) enables operation; internal pullup allows floating enable; configurable UVLO using resistor divider on PVIN/VIN. |
| GND (2,3) | Analog/digital ground return | Low-impedance return path for control circuitry and low-side MOSFET; must be tied to PowerPad for optimal thermal performance. |
| PH (11,12) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing; minimum on-time 94 ns. |
| PVIN (4,5) | Power stage input supply | Supplies high-current MOSFETs; supports down to 1.6 V - enables use with intermediate bus architectures (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V input to 1.2 V output). |
| PWRGD (14) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts low during undervoltage, overvoltage, thermal shutdown, or slow-start; requires external pullup; valid only when VIN ≥ 0.6 V. |
| RT/CLK (1) | Frequency configuration | Dual-function: resistor-to-ground sets frequency (200 kHz–1.6 MHz); external clock edge synchronizes switching - eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| SS/TR (9) | Slow-start/tracking reference | Capacitor sets ramp time; overrides internal 0.6-V reference for sequencing; must exceed 1.4 V before low-side sinking enabled (prebias safety). |
| VIN (6) | Control circuitry supply | Provides bias for internal logic, gate drivers, and error amplifier; must be ≥4.5 V; independent of PVIN for flexible rail partitioning. |
| VSENSE (7) | Feedback input | Inverting input of gm error amplifier; monitors output via resistor divider; accuracy directly impacts output regulation (±1% Vref referenced). |
| Exposed Thermal Pad (15) | Thermal and signal ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; reduces RθJB to 11.4°C/W; critical for sustaining 6-A load at TJ ≤ 150°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 26-mΩ/19-mΩ MOSFETs | Eliminates external power switches and associated gate-drive complexity; achieves >90% efficiency at 12-V input/1.2-V/6-A output. |
| Hiccup current limiting | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload by cycling off for 16384 switching cycles before retry - protects PCB and load without latch-off. |
| Monotonic start-up into prebiased outputs | Blocks low-side sinking until SS/TR ≥ 1.4 V - prevents output discharge and ensures clean power-up in hot-swap or multi-rail systems. |
| Split power rail (VIN/PVIN) | Decouples control logic (VIN: 4.5–17 V) from power stage (PVIN: 1.6–17 V), enabling efficient low-voltage intermediate bus conversion (e.g., 3.3 V → 1.0 V). |
| Synchronization via RT/CLK pin | Supports both resistor-programmed frequency and external clock edge alignment - essential for noise-sensitive applications like ADC/DAC power supplies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS54622RHLT?
The TPS54622RHLT is rated for 6 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 150°C, proper thermal layout). This rating assumes use of the exposed thermal pad soldered to a 4-layer PCB with thermal vias, PVIN ≥ 4.5 V, and ambient temperature ≤ 85°C. Derating applies at higher temperatures or reduced copper area.
Does the TPS54622RHLT support synchronization to an external clock signal?
Yes, the TPS54622RHLT supports external clock synchronization via the RT/CLK pin. When an external clock signal with appropriate voltage levels (0.8 V low, 2 V high) is applied, the device's internal PLL locks to the falling edge of that clock, enabling deterministic switching alignment - critical for reducing beat frequencies in multi-rail systems.
How does the TPS54622RHLT handle startup into a prebiased output voltage?
The TPS54622RHLT ensures monotonic startup into prebiased outputs by disabling low-side MOSFET sinking until the SS/TR pin voltage exceeds 1.4 V. This prevents reverse current flow and output discharge, making it safe for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications where downstream circuitry may already be powered.
What is the purpose of the split PVIN and VIN pins on the TPS54622RHLT?
The split PVIN (1.6–17 V) and VIN (4.5–17 V) pins allow independent routing of power-stage and control-circuit supplies. PVIN powers the high-current MOSFETs, enabling low-input operation (e.g., 3.3 V bus), while VIN supplies the internal logic and gate drivers - improving efficiency and flexibility in intermediate-bus architectures.
What protection features are built into the TPS54622RHLT?
The TPS54622RHLT includes hiccup-mode overcurrent protection (16384-cycle restart), thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis, output overvoltage/undervoltage detection via PWRGD, BOOT-PH UVLO, and bidirectional low-side current limiting. These features collectively prevent damage during faults while enabling autonomous recovery without system intervention.
