Product details
Overview
TPS56428RHLT from Texas Instruments is a 4-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side (68 mΩ) and low-side (37 mΩ) N-channel MOSFETs, D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control operating at 650 kHz, 0.6–7.0 V programmable output, and advanced Eco-mode™ for >90% efficiency at light loads - used in digital TV power rails and networking terminal point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS56428RHLT datasheet, TPS56428RHLT pinout, TPS56428RHLT application, or TPS56428RHLT equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.5–18 V), thermal performance in RHL package (RθJB = 21.4 °C/W), soft-start time (1.0 ms), power-good accuracy (±5%), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The TPS56428RHLT implements D-CAP2™ control architecture: an adaptive on-time PWM scheme that eliminates external compensation while supporting ultra-low-ESR ceramic capacitors via internal ripple simulation. Its one-shot timer sets on-time inversely proportional to VIN and proportional to VOUT, maintaining pseudo-constant 650 kHz switching across input and load variations.
It integrates dual protection logic: cycle-by-cycle valley-current limiting (5.6 A typ.) with hiccup-mode UVP response (65% VFB threshold, 7 µs delay), and non-latching thermal shutdown at 165 °C. The device also features pre-biased soft-start, VREG5 LDO (5.5 V, 20 mA), and open-drain PG with ±5% trip hysteresis relative to target output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V intermediate bus architectures without derating. |
| IOUT Max | 4 A continuous - enables single-chip supply for SoC cores or FPGA I/O banks. |
| Switching Frequency | 650 kHz fixed typical - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency for compact PCB layouts. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 7.0 V - covers DDR termination, CPU cores, and peripheral I/O rails via resistor divider. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% initial - ensures tight output tolerance under nominal conditions without calibration. |
| Shutdown Current | <10 μA - meets ultra-low-power standby requirements in always-on consumer devices. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.0 ms typical - prevents inrush current during power-up and enables controlled sequencing. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJB = 21.4 °C/W - enables 4 A operation at 85°C ambient with minimal copper area in QFN package. |
Pinout & Package
TPS56428RHLT uses a 14-pin VQFN (RHL) package with 3.5 mm × 3.5 mm body and exposed thermal pad soldered to GND. Pin count, layout, and thermal pad connection are validated per TI SLVSBV4B datasheet Figure 3 (RHL top view) and Table "Pin Functions".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 14 | GND | Power ground return for SW node and internal FETs; all four pins must be shorted on PCB for low-impedance path. |
| 4, 5 | SW | Switch node between integrated high- and low-side FETs; connects directly to output inductor. |
| 6 | VBST | Bootstrap supply for high-side gate drive; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to SW. |
| 7, 8 | VIN | Main input supply (4.5–18 V); both pins must be paralleled for low-impedance routing. |
| 9 | EN | Enable input (1.6 V high threshold); internal 350 kΩ pull-down allows direct MCU GPIO control. |
| 10 | VFB | Feedback input for output voltage regulation; connects to resistor divider from VOUT. |
| 11, 12 | VREG5 | 5.5 V LDO output for biasing external circuitry; requires 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 13 | PG | Open-drain power-good signal; asserts high after 1.7× soft-start when VOUT is within ±5% of target. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control | Enables stable regulation with zero-ESR ceramic capacitors and no external compensation network. |
| Advanced Eco-mode™ | Maintains >85% efficiency at 10 mA load by entering discontinuous conduction mode with variable off-time. |
| Integrated 68 mΩ/37 mΩ FETs | Reduces BOM count and thermal footprint vs discrete solutions; supports 4 A continuous at 85°C ambient. |
| Pre-biased soft-start | Prevents reverse current flow into pre-charged output rail by ramping low-side gate drive duty cycle gradually. |
| Cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit | Detects valley current on low-side FET; triggers hiccup mode if fault persists for 7 consecutive cycles. |
| VREG5 LDO output | Provides regulated 5.5 V (±3%) at up to 20 mA for biasing level shifters, supervisors, or optocouplers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 3.5 A max output, 2 MHz fixed frequency, no integrated VREG5 LDO, requires external compensation. | Limited to lower-current applications; lacks pre-biased soft-start and PG output. | Choose for higher-frequency designs where smaller inductors are prioritized over light-load efficiency. |
| RT7297BZSP | 4 A output, 600 kHz, built-in soft-start and OCP, but no Eco-mode™ or VREG5 output. | Requires external bias supply; less suitable for systems needing sequenced power-good signaling. | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated LDO and ultra-high light-load efficiency. |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and RT7297BZSP, the TPS56428RHLT delivers superior light-load efficiency via Eco-mode™, integrated VREG5 simplifies auxiliary biasing, and its D-CAP2™ architecture eliminates compensation design effort - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS56428RHLT?
The TPS56428RHLT delivers 4 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, proper PCB layout with thermal pad soldered). Its cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit is specified at 5.6 A typical, enabling robust handling of short-duration load surges without shutdown. Derating applies above 85°C ambient, governed by RθJB = 21.4 °C/W and maximum junction temperature of 150°C.
Does the TPS56428RHLT require external compensation components?
No, the TPS56428RHLT does not require external compensation components. Its D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control architecture embeds internal compensation, enabling stable operation with ceramic output capacitors down to zero ESR. This eliminates the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, reducing BOM count and design complexity.
How does the TPS56428RHLT handle pre-biased output conditions during startup?
The TPS56428RHLT implements pre-biased soft-start by initially applying narrow low-side gate pulses and incrementally increasing duty cycle cycle-by-cycle until reaching normal synchronous rectification. This prevents reverse current flow into a pre-charged output rail, ensuring smooth voltage ramp-up without sinking charge from downstream circuitry - critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications.
What is the function of the VREG5 pin on the TPS56428RHLT?
The VREG5 pin on the TPS56428RHLT provides a regulated 5.5 V output (5.2–5.7 V range) capable of sourcing up to 20 mA. It is powered internally from VIN and remains active only when EN is high. This LDO output can bias external components such as level shifters, supervisors, or optocouplers, eliminating the need for a separate 5 V supply rail in many designs.
Can the TPS56428RHLT operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the TPS56428RHLT is explicitly optimized for ceramic output capacitors. Its D-CAP2™ control loop includes internal ripple simulation circuitry that replaces the need for ESR-induced ripple required by traditional constant-on-time controllers. The datasheet confirms stable operation with 20–68 µF ceramic capacitors (e.g., TDK C3216X5R0J226M), achieving <1% output deviation during load transients.
