TPS51397ARJER

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · QFN-20-EP(3x3)

TPS51397ARJER from Texas Instruments, in a QFN-20-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BST power_out Supply input for the gate drive voltage of the high-side MOSFET; connect a bootstrap capacitor between BST and SW, 0.1 μF recommended (VBST abs max 31 V).
2 VIN power_in Input voltage supply pin for the control circuitry (4.5 V to 24 V recommended); connect input decoupling capacitors between VIN and PGND.
3 VIN power_in Input voltage supply pin for the control circuitry (4.5 V to 24 V recommended); connect input decoupling capacitors between VIN and PGND.
4 VIN power_in Input voltage supply pin for the control circuitry (4.5 V to 24 V recommended); connect input decoupling capacitors between VIN and PGND.
5 VIN power_in Input voltage supply pin for the control circuitry (4.5 V to 24 V recommended); connect input decoupling capacitors between VIN and PGND.
6 SW power_out Switching node connection to the inductor and bootstrap capacitor; voltage swings from a diode voltage below ground up to the input voltage.
7 PGND power_in Power ground terminal for the controller circuit and the internal circuitry.
8 PGND power_in Power ground terminal for the controller circuit and the internal circuitry.
9 PGOOD output Open-drain power-good indicator, asserted low if output voltage is out of PG threshold, over voltage, or during thermal shutdown, EN shutdown, or soft start.
10 NC unconnected Not connected internally; can be connected to the GND plane for better thermal performance.
11 SS output Soft-start time selection pin; an external capacitor sets the soft-start time, and with no capacitor it is about 1.2 ms.
12 EN input Enable input of the buck converter.
13 AGND power_in Ground of internal analog circuitry; connect to the GND plane with a short trace.
14 FB input Feedback sensing pin for the buck output voltage; connect to the resistor divider between output voltage and AGND (0.6 V reference).
15 MODE input Switching frequency and light load operation mode selection pin; connect to a resistor divider from VCC and AGND.
16 NC unconnected Not connected internally; can be connected to the GND plane for better thermal performance.
17 VCC power_out Powers the driver and control circuits; decouple with a minimum 1-μF ceramic capacitor as close to VCC as possible.
18 PGND power_in Power ground terminal for the controller circuit and the internal circuitry.
19 SW power_out Switching node connection to the inductor and bootstrap capacitor; voltage swings from a diode voltage below ground up to the input voltage.
20 SW power_out Switching node connection to the inductor and bootstrap capacitor; voltage swings from a diode voltage below ground up to the input voltage.
21 PGND power_in Thermal pad, power ground terminal for the controller circuit and the internal circuitry.
