TPS40170QRGYRQ1

Texas Instruments · AC-DC Controllers & Regulators · VQFN-20-EP(3.7x4.7)

TPS40170QRGYRQ1 from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-20-EP(3.7x4.7). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ENABLE input Enable pin that must be high to enable the device; pull below VDIS (100 mV) to disable.
2 SYNC bidirectional Synchronization pin used for frequency synchronization; output in primary mode, input in secondary 0° or 180° mode.
3 M/S input Primary/secondary mode selector pin; tie to VIN for primary mode, tie to AGND or leave floating for secondary mode.
4 RT input Resistor from this pin to AGND sets the oscillator frequency from 100 kHz to 600 kHz; required in all modes.
5 SS input Soft-start pin; capacitor from this pin to AGND sets the soft-start time and is used for fault timing.
6 TRK input Tracking input for output voltage tracking; the lesser of VTRK and the internal 600 mV reference sets the output voltage.
7 FB input Feedback input to the error amplifier; output voltage is fed back through a resistor divider network.
8 COMP output Output of the internal error amplifier; compensation network is connected from this pin to the FB pin.
9 AGND power_in Analog signal ground; must be electrically connected to PGND externally at a single point.
10 VDD power_out 3.3 V regulated output; 0.1 µF to 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor must be connected to AGND close to this pin.
11 PGOOD output Open-drain power-good indicator output; 10 kΩ pullup resistor to VDD recommended; pulls low when out of regulation or faults detected.
12 ILIM input Overcurrent limit pin; resistor from this pin to PGND sets the overcurrent protection threshold based on low-side FET sensing.
13 PGND power_in Power ground for gate driver return path; must externally connect to AGND at a single point.
14 LDRV output Gate driver output for low-side FET; resistor from this pin to PGND also sets the multiplier (3, 7, or 15) for short-circuit protection.
15 VBP power_out 8 V regulated output for gate driver; 1 µF to 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitor must be connected from this pin to PGND.
16 SW input Switching node connection point for the synchronous buck converter; used for high-side and low-side FET current sensing for overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
17 HDRV output Gate driver output for the high-side FET; referenced to SW and switches between BOOT and SW.
18 BOOT output Boot-capacitor node for high-side FET gate driver; bootstrap capacitor (0.1 µF to 0.22 µF) connected from this pin to SW.
19 VIN power_in Input voltage for the controller and DC-DC converter (4.5 V to 60 V); 1 µF bypass capacitor from this pin to AGND required and placed close to pin.
20 UVLO input Undervoltage lockout pin; resistor divider from VIN to AGND sets the UVLO threshold; 1 nF bypass capacitor to AGND required.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
