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 programmable 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, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown at 165°C, soft-start programmability, 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 prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its transconductance error amplifier (240–440 µS) drives the COMP pin for loop stability via external RC compensation.
Switching frequency is set either by an external resistor on FREQ (40–480 kΩ) or synchronized to an external clock (200 kHz–1.0 MHz) on SYNC. Frequency foldback activates below 0.9 V on FB during overcurrent, reducing fSW to 25% of nominal to sustain regulation under overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9 V to 32 V - supports multicell Li-ion batteries and standard 3.3/5/12/24-V rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current Capability | 5.25 A peak switch current - enables ≥800 mA at 24 V output in boost configuration with margin |
| Reference Voltage | 1.229 V ±0.7% - sets output accuracy for feedback-divider-based VOUT programming (e.g., 24 V ±170 mV) |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 mA - minimizes standby loss in always-on industrial or docking applications |
| Shutdown Current | 2.7 µA - ensures ultra-low leakage during system sleep modes |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to 150°C - validated for under-hood automotive auxiliary supplies and industrial enclosures |
| Switch RDS(on) | 60–110 mΩ @ 5 V VIN - limits conduction loss and thermal rise in high-duty-cycle boost stages |
Pinout & Package
TPS55340PWPR is supplied in the HTSSOP-14 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with PowerPAD™ thermal pad soldered to PGND. Pin numbering follows TI's PWP variant; NC pins must be connected to AGND per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9–32 V; decoupled with CI near pin; separate from power-stage input in SEPIC/flyback |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible input with 0.92–1.08 V rising threshold; internal 950-kΩ pulldown prevents floating |
| SW | Switch node | Drain of internal 5-A/40-V MOSFET; connects to inductor (boost/SEPIC) or transformer primary (flyback) |
| FREQ | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW (100 kHz–1.2 MHz); must not be left open |
| SS | Soft-start timing | Capacitor-to-AGND controls ramp time; 6-µA internal current source limits inrush and overshoot |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Transconductance amplifier output; requires external RC network for loop stability and transient response |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 200 kHz–1.0 MHz square wave; enables synchronization to system clock or noise-sensitive bands |
| FB | Feedback sense | Regulates to 1.229 V; connects to resistor divider midpoint for precise VOUT setting |
| PGND | Power ground | Source connection of internal MOSFET; must be low-inductance path to PowerPAD and input/output capacitors |
| AGND | Analog ground | Signal reference for FB, COMP, EN, SS; isolated from PGND except at single-point tie near PowerPAD |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pulse-skipping light-load mode | Reduces switching activity below minimum 77-ns on-time, improving efficiency at <10% load without compromising regulation |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Hardware-based protection triggers at 5.25–7.75 A, preventing MOSFET failure during short-circuit or startup surge |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 165°C junction temp and restarts only after 15°C cooldown, avoiding thermal cycling instability |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Disables operation below 2.5 V VIN with 140-mV hysteresis, blocking erratic behavior during brownout or battery depletion |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor-controlled ramp prevents input current spikes and output overshoot during power-up or hot-plug events |

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; 18-V max VIN; HTSSOP-14 pinout identical but lower current and narrower input range | Limited to ≤600 mA at 24 V; unsuitable for >18-V input sources like 24-V industrial rails | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current/headroom needs and VIN stays ≤18 V |
| LM5122MHX/NOPB | Synchronous boost controller (external FETs); 65-V max VIN; no integrated switch; requires gate drivers and layout for high-side/low-side FETs | Supports higher power (>10 A) and wider VIN (up to 65 V), but adds BOM count, layout complexity, and thermal design overhead | Select for >10-A output or >32-V input where discrete FET optimization justifies added design effort |
Compared with TPS61175RGT, TPS55340PWPR delivers 67% higher current and extends VIN range to 32 V for industrial robustness; versus LM5122MHX/NOPB, it trades external FET flexibility for integration simplicity and smaller footprint in ≤5-A applications.

FAQ
What topologies does the TPS55340PWPR support?
The TPS55340PWPR supports boost, SEPIC, and isolated flyback configurations. Its nonsynchronous architecture and integrated 5-A/40-V low-side MOSFET enable all three without external switches. The datasheet provides verified schematics and design equations for each, including component selection guidelines for inductors, diodes, and feedback dividers specific to TPS55340PWPR.
Does the TPS55340PWPR require external compensation?
Yes, the TPS55340PWPR requires an external RC network connected to the COMP pin to stabilize the feedback loop. The transconductance error amplifier's output drives COMP, and proper compensation-typically a series RC from COMP to AGND-is essential for phase margin, transient response, and avoidance of oscillation. TI's WEBENCH Power Designer generates optimized values for TPS55340PWPR based on user-defined VOUT, IOUT, and fSW.
How does the TPS55340PWPR handle overcurrent conditions?
The TPS55340PWPR implements cycle-by-cycle current limiting with a typical threshold of 6.6 A. When inductor current reaches this level, the internal MOSFET turns off immediately within that switching cycle. If overload persists and FB drops below 0.9 V, frequency foldback reduces fSW to 25% of nominal to maintain regulation-documented in the TPS55340PWPR datasheet Section 7.3.3.
Can the TPS55340PWPR be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the TPS55340PWPR supports synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting external clock signals from 200 kHz to 1.0 MHz with 10–90% duty cycle. When used, the FREQ pin must still have its timing resistor to ground, and the external clock must stay within ±20% of the resistor-set frequency. This capability is explicitly specified for TPS55340PWPR in the Electrical Characteristics table and Functional Description sections.
What is the thermal performance of the TPS55340PWPR in HTSSOP-14?
The TPS55340PWPR in HTSSOP-14 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 43.2°C/W and junction-to-board (RθJB) of 28.3°C/W, per the Thermal Information table. With proper PCB copper area, thermal vias under the PowerPAD, and minimal trace length to PGND, it sustains full 5-A operation at 125°C ambient-validated in the TPS55340PWPR datasheet Figure 6-4 (RDS(on) vs temperature) and thermal derating curves.
