Product details
Overview
TPS55289RYQR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for USB Power Delivery (USB PD) programmable power supply (PPS) applications. It delivers up to 8 A average inductor current, supports 3.0–30 V input and 0.8–22 V output with 10-mV programmability via I²C, and integrates four MOSFETs in a 3.0 mm × 5.0 mm HotRod™ QFN package for compact high-power density designs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS55289RYQR datasheet, TPS55289RYQR pinout, TPS55289RYQR application, or TPS55289RYQR equivalent, key selection considerations include its I²C-programmable output voltage/current limits, ±1% reference accuracy, 200 kHz–2.2 MHz adjustable switching frequency, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and integrated cable droop compensation for USB PD compliance.
Technical Context
The TPS55289RYQR employs average current-mode control with an internal 11-bit DAC to set output voltage from 0.8 V to 22 V in 10-mV steps. Its four-MOSFET architecture enables seamless mode transitions-buck, buck-boost, or boost-based on VIN vs. VOUT relationship, ensuring stable regulation across wide input/output ratios.
It features dual current-limit protection: 8-A average inductor current limit and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (13 A typical), plus hiccup-mode short-circuit response with 76-ms off-time. The I²C interface (100–1000 kHz) supports full register access for real-time configuration of voltage, current limit, switching frequency, spread spectrum, and fault reporting via FB/INT pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 30 V - supports single-cell Li-ion to 24-V industrial rails and USB PD adapter inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 22 V in 10-mV steps - enables precise PPS compliance and dynamic voltage scaling for diverse loads. |
| Max Output Current | 8 A average inductor current - sustains high-power delivery (e.g., 60 W at 12 VIN/20 VOUT) without external current sense. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz - selectable via resistor or external sync clock; higher frequencies enable smaller magnetics and footprint. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% - ensures tight output regulation critical for USB PD specification compliance and system-level power integrity. |
| I²C Interface | Standard/fast-mode plus (100–1000 kHz) - enables host MCU-based dynamic reconfiguration and telemetry (voltage, current, faults). |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload while allowing recovery without manual reset. |
| Package | 21-pin VQFN-HR (RYQ), 3.0 mm × 5.0 mm - HotRod™ leadless construction minimizes parasitic inductance and improves thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
TPS55289RYQR is housed in a 21-pin VQFN-HR (RYQ) package measuring 3.0 mm × 5.0 mm with exposed thermal pad. The leadless HotRod™ construction reduces switching loop inductance and enhances thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO | Enable & programmable UVLO input | Logic-high enables operation; internal 1.23-V reference allows custom input undervoltage lockout with hysteresis. |
| MODE | I²C address select | Configures I²C target address as 0x74 (high) or 0x75 (low) - enables multiple devices on same bus. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C clock/data bidirectional | Supports full register read/write for real-time voltage/current/frequency configuration and fault monitoring. |
| DITH/SYNC | Dither control & external sync input | Capacitor sets spread-spectrum dither; external clock synchronizes switching to avoid EMI interference. |
| FSW | Frequency setting input | Resistor-to-ground programs switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz - enables layout-optimized frequency choice. |
| VIN / VOUT / SW1 / SW2 | Main power terminals | VIN accepts 3–30 V; VOUT delivers 0.8–22 V; SW1/SW2 are internal buck/boost switching nodes - require low-ESR ceramic caps and proper layout. |
| ISP / ISN | Current sense differential inputs | Optional external sense resistor enables programmable output current limit (up to 6.35 A in 50-mA steps) and cable droop compensation. |
| FB/INT | Feedback input / fault indicator | Internal feedback mode uses this pin as open-drain fault flag (low on OVP, thermal shutdown, or short circuit). |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to external RC network for loop compensation - enables stability tuning across load and input conditions. |
| BOOT1 / BOOT2 | High-side gate drivers | Require 0.1-µF ceramic caps to SW1/SW2 - ensure robust gate drive for integrated buck/boost high-side MOSFETs. |
| PGND / AGND | Power & signal ground | Separate grounds minimize noise coupling; must be connected under IC with low-inductance path to thermal pad. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4282GQ-A | 4-A max output, no I²C interface, fixed 500-kHz switching, no cable droop compensation. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-PPS applications where voltage is set by resistor divider and current limit is fixed. | Choose MPQ4282GQ-A when USB PD PPS, real-time current limiting, or programmable EMI reduction are not required. |
| RTQ2132BGQW | 6-A output, I²C interface, but only 0.6–18 V output range and no integrated spread spectrum or CDC pin. | Meets basic USB PD 3.0 voltage programming but lacks cable compensation and advanced EMI features needed for Class-B compliance. | Choose RTQ2132BGQW if VOUT ≤ 18 V suffices and external droop compensation circuitry can be added. |
Compared with MPQ4282GQ-A and RTQ2132BGQW, the TPS55289RYQR uniquely combines 8-A capability, full USB PD PPS register control, integrated cable droop compensation, and programmable spread spectrum - making it the only single-chip solution qualified for high-power, EMI-sensitive, field-upgradable USB PD endpoints.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power capability of the TPS55289RYQR?
The TPS55289RYQR delivers up to 60 W - for example, 3 A at 20 V from a 12-V input - leveraging its 8-A average inductor current limit and high-efficiency 4-switch architecture. Peak power depends on thermal design, input voltage, and PCB copper area; derating applies above 85°C ambient. The TPS55289RYQR datasheet specifies 96% efficiency at 12 VIN/20 VOUT/3 A, confirming its suitability for high-density USB PD applications.
Does the TPS55289RYQR support USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply (PPS)?
Yes, the TPS55289RYQR fully supports USB PD PPS through its I²C interface: output voltage is programmable from 0.8 V to 22 V in 10-mV steps, and output current limit is adjustable from 0 A to 6.35 A in 50-mA increments. Its ±1% reference accuracy, ±5% current monitoring, and integrated cable droop compensation meet USB-IF PPS specification requirements - all implemented without external DACs or op-amps.
How does the TPS55289RYQR handle thermal management during sustained high-current operation?
The TPS55289RYQR incorporates thermal shutdown at 175°C with 20°C hysteresis and supports continuous operation up to 125°C junction temperature. Its 3.0 mm × 5.0 mm VQFN-HR package features an exposed thermal pad; TI recommends ≥4 thermal vias to inner ground planes and ≥1-in² 2-oz copper pour for optimal heat dissipation. The TPS55289RYQR EVM achieves RθJA = 27.5°C/W with 4-layer board, enabling 8-A operation at 25°C ambient with proper layout.
Can the TPS55289RYQR operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes - the TPS55289RYQR supports standalone operation using resistor-programmed settings: output voltage can be set via external feedback divider (using FB/INT pin), switching frequency via FSW resistor, and I²C address via MODE pin. However, full PPS functionality, real-time current limiting, spread spectrum control, and fault telemetry require I²C communication with a host MCU. The TPS55289RYQR remains fully functional in fixed-output mode without firmware.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS55289RYQR?
The TPS55289RYQR integrates output overvoltage protection (22.5–24.5 V trip), hiccup-mode short-circuit response (76-ms off-time), thermal shutdown (175°C), 8-A average inductor current limit, and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (13 A typical). It also provides EN/UVLO with programmable hysteresis and soft-start (2.5–5 ms) to prevent inrush current. All protections are hardware-based and active without I²C communication - ensuring fail-safe behavior even during firmware failure.
