Product details
Overview
TPS56528DDA from Texas Instruments is a 4.5-V to 18-V input, 5-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control, 650-kHz switching frequency, 0.6-V to 7-V adjustable output, and integrated 68-mΩ high-side / 37-mΩ low-side MOSFETs. It delivers stable power in digital TV, STB, and networking terminal power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS56528DDA datasheet, TPS56528DDA pinout, TPS56528DDA application, or TPS56528DDA equivalent, key selection considerations include Eco-Mode™ light-load efficiency, prebiased soft start, power good signaling, and SO PowerPAD™ thermal performance across –40°C to 85°C operation.
Technical Context
The TPS56528DDA implements D-CAP2™ control using adaptive on-time modulation-no external compensation required-with internal ramp injection to stabilize regulation under ultra-low-ESR ceramic output capacitors. Its valley-current overcurrent protection monitors low-side FET voltage during conduction, enabling cycle-by-cycle current limiting with 5.5–7.8-A trip threshold.
Advanced Eco-Mode™ enables seamless transition from PWM to discontinuous conduction at light loads, maintaining >85% efficiency down to 10 mA. The device integrates a 5.5-V VREG5 LDO, open-drain PG output with ±10% window, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 35°C hysteresis-operating without layout-sensitive feedback compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports wide-input industrial and consumer DC bus rails including 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V systems. |
| Output Current | 5 A continuous - sufficient for core logic rails in SoC-based digital video and networking equipment. |
| Switching Frequency | 650 kHz fixed typical - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering without oscillator drift. |
| FET RDS(on) | 68 mΩ (HS) / 37 mΩ (LS) - minimizes conduction loss at 5-A load, supporting >90% peak efficiency at mid-load. |
| Feedback Reference | 600 mV ±12 mV (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures tight output regulation accuracy across temperature for precision voltage rails. |
| Soft Start Time | 1 ms internal - prevents inrush current and enables controlled power-up sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤10 µA - meets ultra-low standby power requirements in always-on consumer electronics. |
Pinout & Package
TPS56528DDA uses an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 44.4°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; internal 180–700 kΩ pull-down enables default disable; supports system-level power sequencing. |
| 2 - VFB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 600-mV reference enables precise 0.6–7-V programming; ±0.15 µA input bias minimizes divider error. |
| 3 - VREG5 | 5.5-V LDO output | Supplies gate drive and internal circuitry; requires 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor; inactive when EN = low. |
| 4 - PG | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserting after 1.7× soft-start time when VOUT is within ±10% of target; sinks up to 4 mA. |
| 5 - GND | Power ground | Common return for SW, VFB, and SS paths; thermal pad must be connected to GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 6 - SW | Switch node | Drives external LC filter; connects internally to both MOSFETs; requires 0.1-µF bootstrap capacitor to VBST. |
| 7 - VBST | Bootstrap supply | Charged via internal diode from VREG5; supplies high-side gate driver; capacitor between VBST–SW ensures proper bootstrapping. |
| 8 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–18 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic decoupling; withstands 20-V absolute max transient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control | Eliminates external compensation components while delivering fast transient response (<10 µs recovery) to load steps. |
| Advanced Eco-Mode™ | Enables >88% efficiency at 10 mA load by entering discontinuous conduction mode without audible noise or regulation loss. |
| Prebiased soft start | Prevents reverse current flow during startup into precharged outputs-critical for hot-swap and multi-phase rail sequencing. |
| Integrated power good (PG) | Provides system-level reset and sequencing signal with ±10% detection window and 7-µs UVP delay for reliable fault handling. |
| Thermal and overcurrent protection | Non-latching 165°C thermal shutdown with 35°C hysteresis and valley-current OCP with 7-cycle hiccup recovery. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS56428DDA | 4-A rated (vs. 5-A), identical D-CAP2™ control, same SO PowerPAD™ package and pinout. | Suitable where peak load ≤4 A; lower current rating reduces conduction loss margin but retains all features. | Select when system max load is confirmed ≤4 A and cost optimization is prioritized over headroom. |
| MP2359DJ-LF-Z | Monolithic 5-A buck with 4.5–24-V input, 340-kHz fSW, no PG output, and different pin assignment (EN on Pin 5). | Lacks power good signaling and prebiased soft start; requires external compensation; lower switching frequency increases inductor size. | Choose only if PG and Eco-Mode™ are non-critical and board space allows larger magnetics. |
Compared with TPS56528DDA, TPS56428DDA offers identical functionality at reduced current capacity-ideal for derated designs-while MP2359DJ-LF-Z trades feature completeness for wider input range and higher voltage tolerance, requiring layout and sequencing redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS56528DDA?
The TPS56528DDA delivers up to 5 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to 85°C, proper PCB layout, and adequate thermal management). Its overcurrent protection triggers at 5.5–7.8 A depending on temperature and inductor value, ensuring safe operation during transient overload events without latch-up.
Does the TPS56528DDA require external compensation components?
No, the TPS56528DDA uses D-CAP2™ adaptive on-time control architecture, which eliminates the need for external compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and guarantees stability with ceramic output capacitors-enabling faster time-to-market for consumer power supply designs.
How does the prebiased soft start function work in the TPS56528DDA?
The TPS56528DDA's prebiased soft start detects when the output voltage exceeds the internal soft-start reference at power-up. It then gradually enables the low-side FET with narrow, incrementally widening pulses-preventing reverse current flow and ensuring smooth, controlled ramp-up even into precharged rails without damaging downstream circuitry.
What is the purpose of the VREG5 pin on the TPS56528DDA?
The VREG5 pin on the TPS56528DDA provides a regulated 5.5-V output used to power the internal gate drivers and control circuitry. It requires a 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor to GND and remains inactive when EN is low-enabling clean power sequencing and reducing system-level supply dependencies.
Can the TPS56528DDA operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the TPS56528DDA is specifically designed to operate stably with ultra-low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (20–68 µF total), thanks to its D-CAP2™ control and internal ramp compensation. This eliminates the need for bulk electrolytic or POSCAP capacitors, reducing solution size, improving reliability, and lowering output ripple to <20 mV.
