Product details
Overview
TPS56100PWP from Texas Instruments is a synchronous-buck regulator controller for DSP power supplies, delivering programmable 1.3 V–2.6 V output with ±1.5% reference accuracy, 300 ns max propagation delay, and 2 A peak MOSFET drive capability. It supports 3 A–30 A load ranges and integrates hysteretic control for fast transient response in TI 'C6000 and 'C5000 DSP systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS56100PWP datasheet, TPS56100PWP pinout, TPS56100PWP application, or TPS56100PWP equivalent, key selection factors include VID-programmable voltage setting (VP0–VP4), dual 2-A high/low-side drivers, integrated overvoltage/overcurrent protection, Power Good signaling, and thermal shutdown at 160°C - all in a thermally enhanced 28-pin TSSOP PowerPAD package.
Technical Context
The TPS56100PWP implements a fast hysteretic control architecture with comparator propagation delay <300 ns and adjustable hysteresis window (±15 mV to ±30 mV) centered on VREF. Its 5-bit VP network conforms to Intel VRM 8.3 for 1.3 V–2.6 V settings in 50-mV steps, with buffered VREFB output enabling proportional slow-start timing.
It features dual independent 2-A MOSFET drivers: high-side driver supports bootstrap or ground-referenced configuration with internal Schottky diode; low-side driver provides crowbar-mode protection via LODRV. Deadtime control prevents shoot-through by enforcing 50–200 ns crossover delay and phase-junction voltage monitoring.

Pinout & Package
TPS56100PWP is housed in a 28-pin TSSOP PowerPAD® package (PWP), featuring an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation and elimination of external heatsinks. The PowerPAD improves thermal resistance and supports high-current operation up to 30 A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IOUT | Current sense output | Voltage proportional to high-side FET Rds(on) × load current (2×Rds(on)×IOUT); used for current monitoring or OCP scaling. |
| OCP | Overcurrent protection input | Accepts resistor-divider voltage from IOUT to ANAGND; trips at 100 mV to disable drivers and latch fault. |
| VHYST | Hysteresis setting input | Sets comparator hysteresis window = 2×(VREFB − VHYST); enables precise ripple control without loop compensation. |
| VREFB | Buffered reference output | Stable ±2% replica of VREF; sources up to 500 µA and sets slow-start charging current (ISS = IVREFB/5). |
| VSENSE | Output voltage feedback | Connects directly to converter output bus; RC filter recommended to reject switching noise and ensure stable regulation. |
| ANAGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground for analog circuitry (reference, comparators, sensing); must be tied to DRVGND within ±0.2 V. |
| BIAS / DRV / VCC | Supply rails | BIAS and DRV require 5 V with 1-µF ceramic decoupling to ANAGND; VCC has 4.08 V UVLO with 0.5 V hysteresis. |
| BOOT / BOOTLO | High-side gate drive bias | BOOT–BOOTLO supplies floating gate drive; BOOTLO connects to phase node (for bootstrap) or DRVGND (for ground-referenced mode). |
| HIGHDR / LOWDR | Gate drive outputs | 2-A peak drivers for n-channel high- and low-side MOSFETs; rise/fall times <120 ns (CL = 6 nF, TJ = 125°C). |
| PWRGD | Power good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VO < 93% VREF; requires external pull-up for logic-level interface with DSP or FPGA. |
| VP0–VP4 | Digital voltage programming inputs | TTL-compatible inputs (internally pulled up to 5 V); define 1.3–2.6 V output in 50-mV steps per Table 1; "11111" = 1.30 V, "00000" = 2.05 V. |
| INHIBIT | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible input; low disables drivers and discharges slow-start capacitor; start threshold = 2.1 V (±0.1 V hysteresis). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous-buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS56200PWP | Higher current capability (up to 40 A), same 28-pin PWP package and VP interface; adds adaptive dead-time control and improved OCP accuracy (±5% vs ±25%). | Targeted at higher-power C6000 systems or multi-rail boards where margin and precision outweigh cost sensitivity. | Select TPS56200PWP when >30 A load or tighter OCP tolerance is required; pinout and VID coding are identical, enabling drop-in upgrade. |
| UCC28220D | Fixed-frequency current-mode controller (300 kHz), not hysteretic; lacks VID interface - output set by external resistor divider; no PowerPAD package. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-transient applications where DSP burst behavior is less demanding and thermal constraints are relaxed. | Choose UCC28220D only if fixed-frequency operation and non-VID design are acceptable; requires PCB redesign due to different pinout, package (SOIC-16), and feedback topology. |
Compared with TPS56100PWP, TPS56200PWP offers higher current headroom and tighter protection tolerances in identical packaging, while UCC28220D trades hysteretic speed and digital programmability for simpler BOM and lower cost - making it suitable only for non-DSP or legacy DSP platforms with static voltage requirements.

FAQ
What is the output voltage range supported by the TPS56100PWP?
The TPS56100PWP supports a digitally programmable output voltage range from 1.3 V to 2.6 V in 50-mV increments, set via the five VP input pins (VP0–VP4) according to the Intel VRM 8.3 code table. The reference accuracy is ±1.5% over temperature (0°C to 125°C), and voltages above 2.6 V can be implemented using an external resistive divider on the VSENSE node. This makes the TPS56100PWP ideal for powering TI's C5000 and C6000 DSP families with precise, software-configurable core voltages.
How does the TPS56100PWP achieve fast transient response?
The TPS56100PWP achieves fast transient response through its hysteretic control architecture, which eliminates the need for loop compensation and delivers a maximum propagation delay of 300 ns from VSENSE to HIGHDR/LOWDR outputs. This enables immediate correction of output deviations caused by sudden load steps - critical for burst-mode operation in 'C6000 DSPs. The TPS56100PWP also features a dedicated slow-start circuit with current proportional to VREFB, ensuring consistent ramp time regardless of programmed output voltage.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS56100PWP?
The TPS56100PWP integrates overvoltage protection (OVP) triggering at 115% VREF, overcurrent protection (OCP) with 100 mV threshold adjustable via external resistor, thermal shutdown at 160°C (10°C hysteresis), undervoltage lockout on VCC (4.08 V start), and crowbar-mode protection via LODRV for shorted high-side FETs. All protections include 3–5 µs deglitching for noise immunity. These features collectively safeguard both the controller and downstream DSPs from electrical faults without requiring external supervision circuitry.
Can the TPS56100PWP drive multiple MOSFETs in parallel?
Yes, the TPS56100PWP is explicitly designed to drive multiple MOSFETs in parallel: its 2-A peak source/sink capability per driver (HIGHDR and LOWDR) supports configurations delivering up to 30 A total load current. The datasheet confirms suitability for "applications with current ranges from 3 A to 30 A", and the high-side driver supports both bootstrap and ground-referenced modes - enabling flexible layout for paralleled high-side FETs. Thermal performance is enhanced by the PowerPAD package, which dissipates up to 1150 mW at 25°C ambient.
What is the function of the VREFB pin on the TPS56100PWP?
The VREFB pin on the TPS56100PWP provides a buffered, low-impedance replica of the internal reference voltage (VREF), accurate to within ±2%. Its primary design functions are: (1) setting hysteresis via external resistor divider to VHYST, and (2) sourcing the slow-start charging current (ISS = IVREFB/5). The TPS56100PWP datasheet specifies that VREFB should not be loaded beyond 500 µA - connecting additional circuitry risks degrading slow-start timing accuracy and reference stability.
