Product details
Overview
TPS65288RHAT from Texas Instruments is a 40-pin QFN power management IC integrating three synchronous step-down DC-DC converters (3 A / 2 A / 2 A) and two USB power switches (1.2 A each), operating from 4.5 V to 18 V input with 0.8 V ±1% reference accuracy, 300 kHz–2.2 MHz adjustable switching frequency, and -40°C to 125°C junction temperature range - used in multi-rail industrial control and embedded computing power systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65288RHAT datasheet, TPS65288RHAT pinout, TPS65288RHAT application, or TPS65288RHAT equivalent, key selection considerations include per-converter enable/soft-start/current-limit configuration, out-of-phase buck operation for reduced input ripple, integrated OVP/OCP/thermal protection, and USB switch fault signaling with open-drain nFAULT outputs.
Technical Context
The TPS65288RHAT implements peak current-mode control with built-in slope compensation across all three buck regulators, enabling stable operation with simple Type II compensation networks and crossover frequencies >100 kHz. Each converter features independent external soft-start (SSx), current limit (RLIMx), and enable (ENx) pins for precise sequencing and optimization.
Buck1 and Buck2 operate 180° out-of-phase to minimize input capacitor RMS current and EMI; all three converters support pulse-skipping mode (PSM) for <2% output ripple at light load and forced PWM mode via F_PWM pin. The integrated USB switches provide programmable current limiting (1.2 A typical), thermal shutdown (130°C trip), and reverse-voltage protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports 5 V, 9 V, 12 V, and 15 V input systems without external pre-regulation. |
| Buck Output Current | 3.5 A (Buck1), 2.5 A (Buck2/Buck3) - continuous rating enables high-density multi-rail designs with margin. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8 V ±1% - enables precise output voltage setting down to 0.8 V using standard resistor dividers. |
| Switching Frequency | 300 kHz to 2.2 MHz - set externally via ROSC resistor; allows optimization of size, efficiency, and EMI. |
| USB Switch Current Limit | 1.2 A typical (trimmable to 0.8/1.0/1.4/1.6/1.8/2.0/2.2 A) - factory-configurable for USB 2.0 compliance and system-level current budgeting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C trip, 140°C restart - 20°C hysteresis prevents oscillation during thermal overload recovery. |
| PGOOD Logic | Open-drain, active-high (default), asserts when all buck outputs ≥90% nominal and de-asserts ≤85% - enables reliable system power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
TPS65288RHAT is housed in a thermally efficient 40-pin RHA package (6 mm × 6 mm QFN) with exposed PowerPAD for enhanced thermal dissipation and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN1, EN2, EN3 | Independent enable inputs | Enable each buck regulator separately; weak internal 1 MΩ pull-up to V3V enables delayed start-up with external capacitor. |
| SS1, SS2, SS3 | Soft-start timing inputs | 5 µA internal current source charges external capacitor; ~167 µs/nF rise time controls output ramp rate. |
| RLIM1, RLIM2, RLIM3 | Peak current limit set points | Resistor-to-ground sets inductor peak current limit (Buck1: 0.75–4 A; Buck2/Buck3: 0.75–3 A). |
| FB1, FB2, FB3 | Feedback inputs | Connect resistor divider to set output voltage; internal 0.8 V reference enables outputs from 0.8 V to VIN − IR drops. |
| USB1_EN, USB2_EN | USB switch control inputs | High-active enables respective 1.2 A USB power switch; open-drain nFAULT outputs signal overcurrent/overtemperature. |
| PGOOD | Power-good status output | Open-drain, active-high (factory default); pulled low if any buck output falls below 85% nominal. |
| LX1/LX2/LX3 (dual pins each) | Switching node outputs | High-current connections to external inductors; LX1/LX2 operate 180° out-of-phase to reduce input ripple. |
| BST1, BST2, BST3 | Bootstrap supply terminals | Connect 47 nF ceramic capacitor between BSTx and corresponding LXx to drive high-side MOSFET gates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three integrated synchronous bucks | Eliminates need for six external MOSFETs and simplifies layout while achieving >90% efficiency at full load. |
| Programmable USB current limits | Seven factory-trimmed thresholds (0.8–2.2 A) allow precise matching to downstream device requirements without external sensing. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | 10 ms shutdown + 10 ms retry cycle prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload while preserving system visibility. |
| Pre-biased output startup support | Enables safe power-up into pre-charged rails - critical for hot-swap and FPGA/CPU core voltage sequencing. |
| Integrated OVP circuitry | 106% overvoltage threshold disables high-side FET to clamp output overshoot; recovers at 104% for fast transient recovery. |
| Internal bias rails (V3V/V7V) | Dedicated 3.3 V and 6.25 V supplies power internal logic and gate drivers - decoupled via separate ceramic capacitors (3.3–10 µF). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65287RHAT | Same pinout and feature set but rated for 4.5 V–15 V input (vs. 4.5 V–18 V); identical buck specs and USB current limits. | Preferred for 5 V/9 V/12 V systems where 15 V max input suffices; not suitable for 18 V industrial or automotive cold-crank scenarios. | Select TPS65287RHAT only if input never exceeds 15 V - avoids over-spec'ing voltage rating and potential cost premium. |
| MPQ4482GQ-AEC1-Z | Three-buck PMIC with 4.5 V–36 V input, but no integrated USB switches; requires external load switches for USB functionality. | Used in automotive ADAS ECUs needing wider input range and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification; lacks native USB power control. | Choose MPQ4482GQ-AEC1-Z when input voltage may reach 36 V (e.g., truck electronics) and USB functionality is implemented separately. |
Compared with TPS65288RHAT, TPS65287RHAT offers identical functionality at lower maximum input voltage, while MPQ4482GQ-AEC1-Z extends input range to 36 V but removes integrated USB switching - requiring additional components and PCB area for USB power delivery.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS65288RHAT?
The TPS65288RHAT supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 20 V on VIN1/VIN2/VIN3 pins, with recommended continuous operation from 4.5 V to 18 V. This 18 V upper limit ensures compatibility with 12 V industrial buses and automotive cold-crank conditions while maintaining safety margin against transients.
Does the TPS65288RHAT support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the TPS65288RHAT explicitly supports pre-biased output startup across all three buck converters. This capability allows safe power-up into rails already charged by other sources - essential for hot-swap systems and FPGA/CPU core sequencing where output voltage must not be forced below ground during enable.
How is the switching frequency configured on the TPS65288RHAT?
The TPS65288RHAT switching frequency is set by connecting an external resistor between the ROSC pin and ground. The relationship follows fSW = 169.5 Ω·k−1.221, enabling precise selection from 300 kHz to 2.2 MHz - allowing trade-offs between inductor size, efficiency, and EMI performance without changing IC or layout.
What protection features does the TPS65288RHAT include for its USB switches?
The TPS65288RHAT USB switches integrate overcurrent limiting (1.2 A typical), thermal shutdown (130°C trip), reverse-voltage protection, and open-drain nFAULT outputs. When overcurrent or overtemperature occurs, the switch enters constant-current mode and asserts nFAULT low - enabling host-level fault logging and recovery without disabling the buck regulators.
Can the TPS65288RHAT operate with different output voltages on each buck channel?
Yes, the TPS65288RHAT supports independent output voltage programming on all three buck channels using external resistor dividers tied to FB1/FB2/FB3. Each channel references the same 0.8 V ±1% internal reference, enabling outputs from 0.8 V up to (VIN − IR drop), such as 1.2 V (core), 1.8 V (I/O), and 3.3 V (peripherals) simultaneously.
