The TPS54620 in thermally enhanced 3.50 mm × 3.50 mm QFN package is a full featured 17-V, 6-A, synchronous, step-down converter which is optimized for small designs through high efficiency and integrating the high-side and low-side MOSFETs. Further space savings are achieved through current mode control, which reduces component count, and by selecting a high switching frequency, reducing the footprint of the inductor.
The output voltage start-up ramp is controlled by the SS/TR pin which allows operation as either a stand-alone power supply or in tracking situations. Power sequencing is also possible by correctly configuring the enable and the open-drain power good pins.
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting on the high-side FET protects the device in overload situations and is enhanced by a low-side sourcing current limit which prevents current runaway. There is also a low-side sinking current limit that turns off the low-side MOSFET to prevent excessive reverse current. Thermal shutdown disables the part when die temperature exceeds thermal shutdown temperature.

PIN | I/O(1) | DESCRIPTION | |
---|---|---|---|
NAME | NO. | ||
RT/CLK | 1 | I | Automatically selects between RT mode and CLK mode. An external timing resistor adjusts the switching frequency of the device; in CLK mode, the device synchronizes to an external clock. |
GND | 2, 3 | G | Return for control circuitry and low-side power MOSFET. |
PVIN | 4, 5 | P | Power input. Supplies the power switches of the power converter. |
VIN | 6 | P | Supplies the control circuitry of the power converter. |
VSENSE | 7 | I | Inverting input of the gm error amplifier. |
COMP | 8 | O | Error amplifier output, and input to the output switch current comparator. Connect frequency compensation to this pin. |
SS/TR | 9 | O | Slow-start and tracking. An external capacitor connected to this pin sets the internal voltage reference rise time. The voltage on this pin overrides the internal reference. It can be used for tracking and sequencing. |
EN | 10 | I | Enable pin. Float to enable. Adjust the input undervoltage lockout with two resistors. |
PH | 11, 12 | O | Switch node. |
BOOT | 13 | I | A bootstrap cap is required between BOOT and PH. The voltage on this cap carries the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. |
PWRGD | 14 | G | Power Good fault pin. Asserts low if output voltage is low because of thermal shutdown, dropout, over-voltage, EN shutdown, or during slow start. |
Exposed Thermal PAD | 15 | G | Thermal pad of the package and signal ground and it must be soldered down for proper operation. |
