Product details
Overview
TPS55287RYQR from Texas Instruments is a 4-A synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with integrated MOSFETs, I²C programmability, and USB PD PPS support. It operates from 3.0 V to 36 V input and delivers 0.8 V to 22 V output in 10-mV steps, with ±1% reference accuracy and ±5% current monitoring - enabling precise power rail generation in USB-C docking stations and wireless chargers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS55287RYQR datasheet, TPS55287RYQR pinout, TPS55287RYQR application, or TPS55287RYQR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 21-pin VQFN-HR (3.0 mm × 5.0 mm) package, average-current-mode control, 200 kHz–2.2 MHz programmable switching frequency, I²C register-based voltage/current configuration, and integrated cable droop compensation via CDC pin.
Technical Context
The TPS55287RYQR employs average current-mode control with an internal 11-bit DAC for reference voltage tuning, enabling seamless buck/boost/buck-boost mode transitions based on VIN–VOUT relationship. Its four-integrated-MOSFET architecture eliminates external switches while supporting up to 35 W from 12 V input in boost mode.
It features dual-mode light-load operation (programmable PFM or forced FPWM), optional spread-spectrum dithering (±7%), external clock synchronization via DITH/SYNC, and comprehensive protection including hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown at 175 °C, and 4-A average inductor current limit.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2965GQ-Z | 4-A, 36-V buck-boost with PMBus interface; no integrated cable compensation; 20-pin QFN (4×4 mm) | Lacks CDC pin and programmable droop compensation; requires external circuitry for USB PD PPS compliance | Choose when PMBus compatibility and higher integration of telemetry (voltage/current/temp) outweigh need for native cable compensation. |
| ISL81601IRZ-T7A | 4-A, 60-V buck-boost with analog/PMBus hybrid interface; larger 32-pin QFN (5×5 mm); no I²C-only mode | Higher input rating suits industrial 48-V systems but lacks dedicated USB PD register map and PPS timing compliance features | Prefer for 48-V battery systems where extended input range and dual-interface flexibility justify larger footprint and firmware complexity. |
Compared with MP2965GQ-Z and ISL81601IRZ-T7A, the TPS55287RYQR uniquely integrates USB PD PPS-specific functions - including 10-mV-step voltage control, CDC-based cable compensation, and I²C register mapping aligned to USB PD spec - within a smaller 3.0×5.0-mm HotRod™ package optimized for thermal performance in portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power capability of the TPS55287RYQR?
The TPS55287RYQR delivers up to 35 W from a 12 V input in boost mode and 25 W from a 9 V input, enabled by its 4-A average inductor current limit and low RDS(on) MOSFETs (11–22 mΩ). Actual output power depends on thermal design, PCB layout, and ambient conditions - typical efficiency exceeds 96.7% at 1.5 A, 20 V output with 12 V input.
Does the TPS55287RYQR support USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply (PPS)?
Yes, the TPS55287RYQR natively supports USB PD PPS through its I²C interface, allowing 0.8 V to 22 V output programming in 10-mV increments and 50-mA-step output current limiting. Its CDC pin provides active cable droop compensation, and internal registers align with USB PD 3.0 specification requirements for adaptive voltage/current control.
How is output voltage accuracy maintained across temperature and load in the TPS55287RYQR?
The TPS55287RYQR achieves ±1% reference voltage accuracy over –40°C to 125°C via a trimmed internal bandgap and 11-bit DAC-controlled feedback path. Measured VREF drift is less than ±0.5% across temperature, and load regulation is enhanced by average current-mode control and optional external feedback with precision resistors.
Can the TPS55287RYQR operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes, the TPS55287RYQR can operate in standalone mode using fixed register defaults: output voltage set to 5 V, current limit at 3 A, FPWM mode, and internal feedback. However, full USB PD PPS functionality, cable compensation, and dynamic reconfiguration require I²C communication with a host microcontroller or PD controller.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS55287RYQR in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer 2-oz copper evaluation board (TPS55287Q1EVM-085), the TPS55287RYQR achieves RθJA = 27.5°C/W. At 4 A load and 12 V input/20 V output, junction temperature rise is approximately 75°C above ambient - well within the 125°C max operating limit. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a solid copper pour for optimal performance.
