Product details
Overview
TPS56428DDA from Texas Instruments is a 4-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in an 8-pin HSOP package, featuring D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, 4.5–18 V input range, 0.6–7.0 V programmable output, and integrated 68 mΩ/37 mΩ MOSFETs. It delivers high efficiency across load ranges in digital TV power rails and networking terminal supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS56428DDA datasheet, TPS56428DDA pinout, TPS56428DDA application, or TPS56428DDA equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load Eco-mode efficiency, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, fixed 650 kHz pseudo-constant switching frequency, pre-bias soft-start capability, and thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Technical Context
The TPS56428DDA implements D-CAP2™ control with adaptive on-time modulation-on-time inversely proportional to VIN and proportional to VOUT-to maintain ~650 kHz pseudo-fixed frequency without external compensation. Its internal ramp eliminates need for ESR-induced ripple, enabling stable operation with ultra-low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFETs (68 mΩ high-side, 37 mΩ low-side), supports seamless transition between PWM and Advanced Eco-mode™, and features cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with valley-current sensing on the low-side FET. Power-good (PG) asserts after 1.7× soft-start time when VFB reaches ±10% of target.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports wide industrial and consumer input buses including 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V rails. |
| Output Current | 4 A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, FPGAs, and DDR memory subsystems in STB and network controllers. |
| Switching Frequency | ~650 kHz - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering while balancing efficiency and size. |
| FET RDS(on) | 68 mΩ (HS) / 37 mΩ (LS) - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency up to 95% at 1.8 V/3 A. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.0 ms (fixed) - ensures controlled voltage ramp-up and prevents inrush current during power-on sequencing. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% initial - guarantees tight output regulation across temperature and line/load variations for precision analog supplies. |
| Shutdown Current | <10 µA - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on consumer electronics like digital TVs and set-top boxes. |
Pinout & Package
TPS56428DDA uses an 8-pin HSOP (DDA) package with exposed thermal pad (4.89 mm × 3.9 mm), rated for –40°C to 85°C ambient operation. Thermal pad must be soldered to GND for optimal junction-to-board thermal resistance (27.8°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; internal 180–700 kΩ pull-down allows direct MCU GPIO drive without external resistor. |
| 2 VFB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; ±0.15 µA input bias enables high-value dividers for low quiescent current. |
| 3 VREG5 | 5.5 V LDO output | Supplies gate drive and internal circuitry; requires 0.47 µF ceramic cap to GND; disabled when EN = low. |
| 4 PG | Open-drain power-good | Asserts high after 1.7× soft-start when VFB is within ±10%; sinks up to 4 mA for system sequencing. |
| 5 GND | Power ground | Main return path for SW, VIN, and VREG5; must connect to thermal pad and minimize trace inductance. |
| 6 SW | Switch node | Connects high-side and low-side FETs; requires low-inductance layout and 0.1 µF bootstrap cap to VBST. |
| 7 VBST | Bootstrap supply | Charged via internal diode from VREG5; 0.1 µF ceramic cap to SW enables high-side gate drive above VIN. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–18 V; requires local 10 µF+ ceramic decoupling; shares thermal pad connection with GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control | Eliminates external compensation components and enables stable regulation with zero-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Advanced Eco-mode™ | Maintains >85% efficiency at 10 mA load (Vo=1.8 V), outperforming traditional skip-mode converters at light loads. |
| Pre-bias soft-start | Prevents reverse current flow into pre-charged outputs by gradually enabling low-side FET conduction. |
| Integrated power-good (PG) | Provides system-level sequencing signal with ±10% accuracy and 1.7× tSS delay-no external monitoring needed. |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection | Detects low-side FET voltage during conduction; triggers hiccup mode after 7 consecutive overcurrent cycles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS564208DDA | Same 8-pin HSOP package, but rated for 2.5 A max output and lower RDS(on) (72 mΩ/42 mΩ); no VREG5 output. | Limited to lower-power SoCs and microcontrollers; lacks integrated 5.5 V LDO for external gate drive or biasing. | Select when output current ≤2.5 A and external LDO is available; not suitable for designs requiring VREG5-sourced bootstrap or auxiliary bias. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Monolithic 4 A buck in 8-pin SOIC; 4.5–28 V input; fixed 650 kHz; no Eco-mode or pre-bias start; higher shutdown current (25 µA). | Higher input voltage tolerance suits 24 V industrial systems; lacks advanced light-load optimization for consumer standby modes. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where 24 V input or simplified feature set outweighs Eco-mode efficiency and sequencing flexibility. |
Compared with TPS56428DDA, TPS564208DDA offers reduced current capability and no VREG5, limiting its use in self-contained designs, while MP2315DJ-LF-Z trades Eco-mode and pre-bias support for wider VIN range-making TPS56428DDA optimal for consumer electronics demanding high light-load efficiency and robust startup behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the TPS56428DDA?
The TPS56428DDA is rated for 4 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, proper PCB thermal design). Its integrated 68 mΩ high-side and 37 mΩ low-side MOSFETs enable this rating with typical efficiency >92% at 12 VIN/1.8 VOUT/3 A. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with inadequate copper area on the thermal pad.
Does the TPS56428DDA require external compensation components?
No, the TPS56428DDA uses D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, which eliminates the need for external compensation networks. Its internal circuitry provides inherent stability with ceramic output capacitors-including zero-ESR types-without loop compensation resistors or capacitors, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
Can the TPS56428DDA safely start up into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the TPS56428DDA includes dedicated pre-bias soft-start circuitry. When enabled, it gradually ramps low-side FET conduction to prevent reverse current flow into a pre-charged output, ensuring smooth voltage ramp-up without sinking charge. This is confirmed in Section 8.3.4 of the SLVSBV4B datasheet.
What is the function of the VREG5 pin on the TPS56428DDA?
The VREG5 pin on the TPS56428DDA is a 5.5 V internal LDO output used to power the high-side gate driver and internal logic. It sources up to 5 mA and requires a 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. VREG5 is disabled when EN is low, and it powers the VBST bootstrap circuit through an internal diode-enabling reliable high-side FET operation.
How does the Advanced Eco-mode™ in the TPS56428DDA improve light-load efficiency?
Advanced Eco-mode™ in the TPS56428DDA dynamically transitions from PWM to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) as load decreases, extending off-time while maintaining fixed on-time. This avoids inefficient pulse-skipping and sustains >85% efficiency at 10 mA (Vo = 1.8 V), significantly outperforming conventional skip-mode converters in standby and idle states common in digital TV and STB applications.
