Overview

The TPS54302DDCT is a 4.5V to 28V input, 3A output synchronous buck converter designed for high efficiency and compact board layouts. It features a fixed 400kHz switching frequency and integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs to minimize external component count. The device is particularly efficient at light loads due to its advanced Eco-mode pulse skip technology, which reduces quiescent current to 45 microamps.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator simplifies design through internal loop compensation and a built-in 5ms soft start. It includes frequency spread spectrum to lower peak EMI and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection for robust fault recovery. The TSOT-23-6 package combined with the 400kHz frequency allows for a very small total solution footprint while maintaining 3A capability.

Applications

Distributed Power Systems
Provides a 3A point-of-load regulation for 12V and 24V industrial or automotive bus voltages.

Getting Started

Designers should use the TI WEBENCH Power Designer tool to calculate the external resistor divider for the desired output voltage and select appropriate output inductors. Layout is critical; ensure the input bypass capacitors are placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins to minimize switching noise. Evaluation can be performed using the TPS54302EVM-716 assessment module.
