Product details
Overview
TPS65279VDAPR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 5-A n-channel MOSFETs per channel, operating from 4.5 V to 18 V input. It delivers programmable 0.68 V–1.95 V outputs in 10-mV steps via I²C-controlled 7-bit VID, supports 180° out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple, and enables current sharing up to 10 A. It is used in DTV, TCON, and tablet PC power rails requiring precise voltage sequencing and light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65279VDAPR datasheet, TPS65279VDAPR pinout, TPS65279VDAPR application, or TPS65279VDAPR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-programmable output voltage resolution (10 mV), independent soft-start/enable per buck, peak-current-mode control with external compensation, 200 kHz–1.6 MHz adjustable switching frequency, and thermal performance in the 32-pin HTSSOP (DAP) package.
Technical Context
The TPS65279VDAPR implements constant-frequency peak-current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection and hiccup-mode fault recovery. Each buck uses dedicated COMP pins for loop compensation and SS pins for soft-start/voltage tracking, enabling robust transient response and monotonic startup into pre-biased loads.
Its I²C interface (100 kHz standard / 400 kHz fast mode) supports bidirectional communication: writing VID, enable/disable states, pulse-skipping mode, and reading back power-good status and die temperature warnings. The MODE pin configures forced PWM, PSM, or current-sharing modes-enabling flexible system-level power management without firmware dependency.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65279VRHHR | Same silicon, 36-pin QFN (6 mm × 6 mm) package with θJA = 30.8 °C/W - lower thermal resistance but requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile. | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing higher power density; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and thermal pad layout differences. | Select when thermal margin is critical and board redesign is acceptable; verify layout compatibility with TI's RHH package drawing. |
| TPS65217CRSLR | Single-chip PMIC with dual 3-A bucks + LDOs + battery charger; fixed 0.6–1.52 V outputs; no I²C VID programmability; 2.7–5.5 V input. | Targets portable battery-powered devices (not 12-V bus systems); lacks wide-input range and fine-grained voltage control. | Choose only for low-voltage, battery-integrated applications where I²C programmability and 18-V input are unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS65279VRHHR, the TPS65279VDAPR offers identical electrical performance but trades thermal efficiency for legacy HTSSOP assembly compatibility; compared with TPS65217CRSLR, it provides wider input range, higher current, and I²C-controlled VID essential for fixed-line consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the TPS65279VDAPR?
The TPS65279VDAPR supports up to 5 A continuous output current per buck channel under proper thermal conditions-verified with the 32-pin HTSSOP (DAP) package, adequate PCB copper area, and ≥6 thermal vias to ground. Peak current limit is 7 A per channel, but sustained operation above 5 A requires derating based on ambient temperature and airflow.
Does the TPS65279VDAPR support current sharing between its two buck channels?
Yes, the TPS65279VDAPR supports current sharing up to 10 A total by connecting the MODE pin to V7V. In this configuration, both bucks operate in parallel with synchronized 180° phase shift, enabling balanced current distribution and reduced output ripple. External current-sense resistors are not required-the IC handles current balancing internally.
Can the TPS65279VDAPR operate with a 5-V input supply?
No-the TPS65279VDAPR has a minimum input voltage of 4.5 V, but its V7V LDO requires sufficient headroom to regulate to ~6.3 V for optimal MOSFET gate drive. At VIN = 5 V, V7V drops below specification, degrading high-side FET RDS(on) and efficiency. Operation is only recommended for VIN ≥ 6.5 V to ensure stable V7V and full 5-A capability.
How does the I²C interface of the TPS65279VDAPR handle voltage level translation?
The TPS65279VDAPR's SDA and SCL pins are rated for VIH = 1.3 V and VIL = 0.4 V, compatible with standard 3.3-V I²C buses. No external level shifters are needed when interfacing with 3.3-V microcontrollers. Pull-up resistors (typically 2.2–4.7 kΩ to DVCC) are required on both lines, and bus capacitance must remain ≤400 pF per line for reliable 400-kHz operation.
What is the purpose of the V7V pin on the TPS65279VDAPR?
The V7V pin is the output of an internal low-dropout linear regulator that supplies ~6.3 V (typical) to power the gate drivers and internal control circuits. It must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to PGND. Its voltage directly impacts high-side MOSFET conduction loss-lower V7V increases RDS(on), reducing efficiency and thermal margin. V7V cannot be used as a system supply rail.
