Product details
Overview
TPS565242DRLR from Texas Instruments is a 5-A synchronous buck converter in SOT-563 package, operating from 3 V to 16 V input and delivering 0.6 V to 7 V output with ±1% reference accuracy at 25°C, 120 µA quiescent current, and D-CAP3™ control for fast transient response in LCD TV power rails and IP camera DC/DC stages.
For engineers reviewing the TPS565242DRLR datasheet, TPS565242DRLR pinout, TPS565242DRLR application, or TPS565242DRLR equivalent, key selection criteria include Eco-mode efficiency at light load, 600-kHz fixed switching frequency, integrated 28.2-mΩ/15.1-mΩ FETs, 1.39-ms soft-start, and support for prebiased startup in space-constrained embedded power designs.
Technical Context
The TPS565242DRLR implements D-CAP3™ adaptive on-time control with internal ripple generation, enabling stable operation with ultra-low-ESR ceramic capacitors without external compensation. It features dual ground pins (GND and AGND) for optimized thermal and regulation performance, and supports up to 98% duty cycle via frequency foldback below 200 kHz.
Eco-mode operation enables discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads, reducing switching frequency proportionally to load current while maintaining high efficiency. Protection includes non-latching UVLO (2.72–2.92 V), OVP (115–125% VOUT), UVP hiccup (55–65% VOUT), cycle-by-cycle OCL (5.3–8.5 A), and thermal shutdown at 155°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - supports wide-input industrial and consumer DC supplies including 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V rails. |
| Output Current | 5 A continuous - delivers full rated current in SOT-563 package with RθJA = 131.1°C/W (JEDEC standard board). |
| Reference Voltage | 600 mV ±1% at 25°C - enables precise output regulation down to 0.6 V with minimal feedback divider error. |
| Quiescent Current | 120 µA - sustains high efficiency at microamp-level loads typical in always-on video doorbell standby modes. |
| Switching Frequency | 600 kHz nominal - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency; varies with VIN/VOUT ratio and load in Eco-mode. |
| FET RDS(ON) | 28.2 mΩ (HS), 15.1 mΩ (LS) at 25°C - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise under 5-A continuous operation. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.39 ms fixed - prevents inrush current during power-up of FPGA core or SoC I/O rails. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-563 (6-pin) package: 1.60 mm × 1.60 mm footprint with 0.5-mm pitch, optimized for thermal dissipation and compact layout in space-constrained applications such as Wi-Fi access point PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 3–16 V DC; connects to bulk input capacitor and must be decoupled near pin 1. |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight loop area and ground stitching to minimize EMI. |
| GND | Power ground | Source terminal of low-side FET and main return path for high-current switching loops. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference ground for FB, EN, and internal circuitry; must be connected to GND plane for optimal line/load regulation. |
| EN | Enable input | Logic-level control (1.07–1.33 V threshold); pulled low by default; supports sequencing and remote ON/OFF. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 600-mV reference sets VOUT = 0.6 × (1 + R1/R2); sensitive to noise-requires local 0.1-µF bypass. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Eco-mode operation | Maintains >85% efficiency at 10-mA load by entering DCM and scaling switching frequency with output current. |
| D-CAP3™ control topology | Eliminates need for external compensation components and enables stable regulation with MLCC-only output filters. |
| Prebiased soft-start | Allows safe startup into precharged output (e.g., hot-swap systems), preventing reverse current flow through the low-side FET. |
| Integrated protection suite | Includes non-latching UVLO, hiccup-mode UVP, OVP with 24-µs deglitch, cycle-by-cycle OCL, and thermal shutdown at 155°C. |
| 98% max duty cycle support | Enables high-VIN-to-low-VOUT conversion (e.g., 12 V → 1.05 V) with extended on-time and reduced frequency foldback. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS565247DRLR | FCCM mode (fixed 600-kHz frequency), higher 400-µA IQ, supports negative inductor current and NOC protection. | Better for low-ripple noise-sensitive analog rails (e.g., ADC reference supplies); less efficient at light load than TPS565242DRLR. | Select TPS565247DRLR when constant frequency and minimal output voltage ripple outweigh light-load efficiency needs. |
| MP2359DJ-LF-Z | 4-A rating, 4.5–24-V input, 340-kHz fixed frequency, no Eco-mode, requires external compensation. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 5-A headroom and D-CAP3 simplicity are not required. | Choose MP2359DJ-LF-Z only if design tolerates larger solution size, lower efficiency at <100 mA, and added compensation design effort. |
Compared with TPS565247DRLR and MP2359DJ-LF-Z, the TPS565242DRLR uniquely combines 5-A capability, Eco-mode efficiency down to µA loads, and zero-compensation D-CAP3 control in a 1.6-mm × 1.6-mm package-making it optimal for battery-aware, space-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS565242DRLR?
The TPS565242DRLR supports 5-A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 3.3 V, 2-layer PCB with 2-oz copper). Derating applies above 85°C ambient due to RθJA = 131.1°C/W; actual current depends on layout, airflow, and thermal vias. The TPS565242DRLR datasheet specifies IO = 0–6 A in Recommended Operating Conditions, but 5 A is the validated continuous rating per thermal testing on the EVM.
Does the TPS565242DRLR require external compensation components?
No, the TPS565242DRLR does not require external compensation components. Its D-CAP3™ control topology integrates internal compensation and ripple generation, enabling stable operation with ceramic output capacitors alone. This eliminates the need for type-II or type-III compensation networks, reducing BOM count and layout complexity-confirmed in Section 7.3.1 and Figure 7-2 of the TPS565242DRLR datasheet.
Can the TPS565242DRLR start up with a prebiased output voltage?
Yes, the TPS565242DRLR supports prebiased soft-start. When the output capacitor is precharged, the device delays switching until the internal reference voltage ramps above the FB pin voltage, preventing reverse current flow through the low-side FET. This behavior is explicitly documented in Section 7.3.3 and verified in Figure 8-1 typical application schematic of the TPS565242DRLR datasheet.
What is the purpose of the separate AGND and GND pins on the TPS565242DRLR?
The TPS565242DRLR uses separate AGND and GND pins to isolate analog reference circuitry from high-current power ground paths. AGND serves as the reference for FB, EN, and internal regulators, improving line/load regulation and noise immunity. Both pins must be connected to the same low-impedance ground plane-TI recommends direct connection near the IC-to ensure optimal thermal performance and regulation accuracy per Section 3 and Figure 5-1 of the TPS565242DRLR datasheet.
How does Eco-mode improve light-load efficiency in the TPS565242DRLR?
Eco-mode in the TPS565242DRLR improves light-load efficiency by transitioning into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) as load decreases, reducing switching frequency proportionally to output current. This lowers gate drive and switching losses while maintaining >85% efficiency at 10-mA load-verified in Figure 6-11 and described in Sections 7.4.1 and 7.3.2 of the TPS565242DRLR datasheet. Unlike FCCM mode, Eco-mode avoids unnecessary switching cycles at very light loads.
