Product details
Overview
TPS55340 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic nonsynchronous DC/DC regulator with integrated 5-A, 40-V low-side MOSFET, supporting boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies. It operates from 2.9 V to 32 V input, delivers ±0.7% reference accuracy, features adjustable 100 kHz–1.2 MHz switching frequency, and enables high-efficiency power conversion in USB Type-C PD 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 QFN-16 and HTSSOP-14 packages with PowerPAD™ for thermal management.
Technical Context
The TPS55340 implements 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 (75–1480 kHz) or synchronized to an external clock (200 kHz–1.0 MHz) on SYNC. The device enters pulse-skipping mode below minimum 77 ns on-time and activates frequency foldback when FB drops below 0.9 V during overcurrent events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9 V to 32 V - supports multicell batteries and standard 3.3/5/12/24-V rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current Capability | 5.25 A typical peak switch current - enables high-power boost conversion up to 24 V at 800 mA in reference designs |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±0.7% - ensures tight output regulation across temperature (1.220–1.238 V at 25°C) |
| 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 |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100 kHz to 1.2 MHz - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction while maintaining stability |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to 150°C - supports operation in harsh environments including industrial motor controls and automotive under-hood modules |
Pinout & Package
TPS55340 is available in two thermally enhanced packages: 3-mm × 3-mm WQFN-16 and 5-mm × 4.4-mm HTSSOP-14, both featuring PowerPAD™ for improved heat dissipation. Pin functions are identical across packages except for NC and SW count distribution.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.9–32 V; decoupling required near pin to suppress high di/dt noise |
| EN | Enable control input | Logic-compatible enable with 0.92–1.08 V threshold and 0.16 V hysteresis; internal 950-kΩ pulldown |
| SW | Power switch drain node | Connects to inductor/transformer primary; handles peak currents up to 7.75 A; requires low-inductance layout |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Regulates output via resistor divider to internal 1.229-V reference; bias current <20 nA minimizes divider error |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives external RC compensation network; clamp voltages (0.75 V / 3.1 V) limit excursion during transients |
| SS | Soft-start timing | 6 µA internal current charges external capacitor; controls inrush current and output overshoot at startup |
| FREQ | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency; must not be left floating; supports sync via SYNC pin |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 200 kHz–1.0 MHz square wave; requires 10–90% duty cycle; enables system-level clock synchronization |
| PGND | Power ground return | Three dedicated pins (QFN) or three pins (HTSSOP); connects directly to MOSFET source and PCB PowerPAD™ |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND; ties error amplifier, reference, and logic circuits; recommended star-point connection |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost/SEPIC regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61175RGET | 3-A, 40-V switch; max 18-V input; pin-to-pin compatible with TPS55340 HTSSOP-14 package | Limited to lower input voltage rails (≤18 V); unsuitable for 24-V industrial inputs or USB PD 3.0 28-V negotiation | Select TPS61175 only when input stays ≤18 V and 3-A peak current suffices-reduces BOM cost where full 5-A capability is unused |
| LM5122MTX/NOPB | Synchronous boost controller (external FETs); 65-V max input; no integrated switch; requires gate drivers and dual MOSFETs | Supports higher output power (>50 W) and wider input (4.5–65 V), but adds complexity and footprint | Choose LM5122 for >30-W designs needing >90% efficiency at full load or 65-V automotive input compatibility-accepts layout and component count trade-off |
Compared with TPS61175RGET, the TPS55340 extends input voltage range to 32 V and doubles peak current to 5.25 A, enabling single-stage conversion from 24-V rails. Versus LM5122MTX/NOPB, it trades external FET flexibility for integration, reducing design time and component count in ≤25-W applications.

FAQ
What topologies does the TPS55340 support?
The TPS55340 supports boost, SEPIC, and isolated flyback topologies. Its nonsynchronous architecture and integrated 5-A, 40-V low-side MOSFET make it suitable for non-isolated boost and SEPIC, while transformer-coupled flyback configurations leverage the SW pin for primary-side switching. The datasheet provides detailed schematics and design equations for all three configurations, and WEBENCH Power Designer includes validated templates for each.
Does the TPS55340 require external compensation components?
Yes, the TPS55340 requires external RC compensation on the COMP pin to stabilize the feedback loop. The transconductance error amplifier output connects to COMP, and TI recommends a type-II or type-III network depending on topology and transient requirements. Typical designs use a series RC from COMP to AGND plus optional capacitor to FB, with values selected using TI's compensation calculator or verified WEBENCH designs for the specific TPS55340 configuration.
How does the TPS55340 handle overcurrent conditions?
The TPS55340 implements cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection that disables the internal MOSFET when sensed current exceeds 5.25–7.75 A. If the overload persists and FB falls below 0.9 V, it activates frequency foldback-reducing switching frequency to 25% of nominal-to limit power dissipation. Recovery occurs automatically once FB rises above 0.9 V, provided the EN pin remains asserted and thermal limits are not exceeded.
Can the TPS55340 operate with input voltage below 2.9 V?
No-the TPS55340 is specified for continuous operation only above 2.9 V input. Below this, performance is not guaranteed. The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) turns off the device at ~2.5 V (with 120–160 mV hysteresis), and operation between 2.5 V and 2.9 V may occur but violates recommended conditions; electrical characteristics like reference accuracy, current limit, and efficiency are not assured in that range.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the TPS55340 packages?
The NC (No Connect) pins on both the WQFN-16 and HTSSOP-14 packages of the TPS55340 are reserved and must be connected to AGND per TI's recommendation. They are not internally bonded and serve no functional role, but grounding them improves noise immunity and provides mechanical stability for the package. Leaving them floating may degrade EMI performance or cause unpredictable behavior in high-noise environments.
