Product details
Overview
TPS55340 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous boost/SEPIC/flyback DC/DC regulator with integrated 5-A, 40-V low-side MOSFET switch, ±0.7% reference voltage accuracy, 2.9–32-V input range, and adjustable 100 kHz–1.2 MHz switching frequency. It enables compact high-current power conversion in USB Type-C PD, Thunderbolt ports, and industrial 24-V systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS55340 datasheet, TPS55340 pinout, TPS55340 application, or TPS55340 equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide VIN range, programmable soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with boost/SEPIC/flyback topologies-critical for portable and ruggedized power designs.
Technical Context
The TPS55340 uses fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation to ensure stability at duty cycles >50%. Its transconductance error amplifier (240–440 µS) drives the COMP pin for loop compensation, while the FREQ pin accepts an external resistor or synchronized clock signal (200 kHz–1.0 MHz) to set switching frequency.
It implements pulse-skipping mode under light loads for higher efficiency, features a 77-ns minimum on-time, and enters frequency foldback (to 1/4 fSW) when FB drops below 0.9 V during overcurrent events-reducing stress while maintaining regulation recovery upon fault clearance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9 V to 32 V - supports multicell batteries and standard rails (3.3 V/5 V/12 V/24 V) without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Rating | 5-A, 40-V N-channel MOSFET - delivers up to 5.25 A peak current with RDS(on) = 60–110 mΩ, enabling high-power density boost stages. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.229 V ±0.7% - ensures precise output regulation (e.g., 24 V ±0.17 V) using standard resistor dividers. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 mA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on industrial or portable applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.7 µA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes with fast wake-up via EN pin. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 1.2 MHz - adjustable via FREQ pin resistor or external SYNC clock for EMI optimization and size trade-offs. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to 150°C - rated for harsh environments including automotive under-hood and industrial motor controls. |
Pinout & Package
TPS55340PWP is packaged in HTSSOP-14 (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with PowerPAD™ for enhanced thermal dissipation. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to AGND with thermal vias for reliable operation at full load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9–32 V; powers internal circuitry and gate driver; separate from power stage input in SEPIC/flyback configurations. |
| EN | Enable control input | Logic-level enable with 0.92–1.08 V threshold and 0.16 V hysteresis; internal 950-kΩ pulldown ensures safe default-off state. |
| SW | Power switch drain | Connects to inductor/transformer switched node; handles peak currents up to 7.75 A; requires low-inductance layout. |
| FREQ | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW (100 kHz–1.2 MHz); must not be left floating; enables EMI tuning and transformer sizing. |
| SS | Soft-start timing | Capacitor-to-AGND programs startup ramp; 6-µA internal current source limits inrush and output overshoot. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network; transconductance 240–440 µS enables stable loop design across temperature. |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 200 kHz–1.0 MHz logic signal; allows synchronization to system clock or noise-sensitive bands. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Regulates to 1.229 V; connects to resistor divider; bias current <20 nA minimizes divider error. |
| PGND | Power ground | Source connection of internal MOSFET; three pins (12,13,14) reduce ground impedance and improve current handling. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Signal reference for error amp, reference, and logic; must be separated from PGND and connected to PowerPAD via low-impedance path. |
| NC | No-connect | Pin 11 - must be tied to AGND per TI recommendation to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 5-A, 40-V MOSFET | Eliminates external high-current switch; reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained USB-C and docking applications. |
| Pulse-skipping at light loads | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 10-mA loads by disabling switching cycles-critical for battery-powered standby operation. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Protects against short-circuit and overload with 5.25–7.75 A threshold; prevents MOSFET failure without external sensing components. |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor-controlled ramp prevents input inrush and output overshoot during hot-plug events in Thunderbolt and docking stations. |
| Thermal shutdown + hysteresis | Shuts down at 165°C junction temp and restarts at 150°C-enables self-recovery in thermally constrained enclosures without system reset. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost/SEPIC regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61175RGT | 3-A, 40-V switch; max 18-V input; HTSSOP-14 pinout identical but lower current rating and narrower VIN range. | Suitable only for ≤3-A, ≤18-V input applications; cannot replace TPS55340PWP in 32-V or 5-A designs. | Select when lower cost and reduced thermal requirements justify current/voltage derating. |
| LM5122MH/NOPB | 5-A, 65-V synchronous boost controller; external MOSFETs; requires more external components; no integrated switch. | Supports higher input voltages and synchronous rectification for >95% efficiency; used where thermal headroom or efficiency is critical. | Choose for designs needing >32-V input, >95% efficiency, or custom MOSFET selection-accepting larger footprint and complexity. |
Compared with TPS61175RGT and LM5122MH/NOPB, the TPS55340PWP uniquely combines 5-A/40-V integration, 32-V input support, and HTSSOP-14 pin compatibility-making it optimal for compact, high-current boost/SEPIC designs where board space and component count are constrained.

FAQ
What topologies does the TPS55340PWP support?
The TPS55340PWP supports boost, SEPIC, and isolated flyback topologies. Its nonsynchronous architecture, integrated 5-A/40-V MOSFET, and current-mode control enable direct implementation of all three without external switches. Design examples for each are provided in the official datasheet, and WEBENCH Power Designer generates complete schematics and BOMs for any selected topology.
Does the TPS55340PWP require external compensation?
Yes, the TPS55340PWP requires external RC compensation connected to the COMP pin. The transconductance error amplifier (240–440 µS) drives this node, and proper compensation-typically a series RC network-is necessary to stabilize the feedback loop, ensure phase margin >45°, and optimize transient response. TI provides design equations and example values in Section 8.2.1.2.2 of the datasheet.
What is the minimum on-time of the TPS55340PWP and why does it matter?
The TPS55340PWP has a minimum on-time of 77 ns (typical). This limits the lowest achievable duty cycle at high switching frequencies and determines when pulse-skipping mode activates-typically under light loads where regulation would otherwise require sub-77-ns pulses. It directly impacts light-load efficiency and output ripple behavior in discontinuous conduction mode.
How does the TPS55340PWP handle overcurrent conditions?
The TPS55340PWP uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting with a threshold of 5.25–7.75 A. During overload, it clamps peak switch current and reduces switching frequency to 1/4 nominal (frequency foldback) if FB falls below 0.9 V-preventing thermal runaway while maintaining regulation. Recovery occurs automatically once the fault clears and FB rises above 0.9 V.
Can the TPS55340PWP be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the TPS55340PWP supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. It accepts logic-level signals from 200 kHz to 1.0 MHz with 10–90% duty cycle. When synchronized, the FREQ pin must still be terminated with a resistor to ground, and the external clock must stay within ±20% of the resistor-set frequency for stable operation-enabling EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems.
