TPS65279RHHR

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · VQFN-36-EP(6x6)

TPS65279RHHR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-36-EP(6x6). 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 PVIN2 power_in Power input supplying the power switches of converter 2 (buck2).
2 PVIN2 power_in Power input supplying the power switches of converter 2 (buck2).
3 ISHARE input Logic pin selecting current-sharing mode: tie high to parallel the two buck converters (buck1 is used), tie low for separate operation.
4 MODE input Ground connection forces continuous conduction mode (CCM); connection to V7V enables pulse-skipping mode (PSM) at light load.
5 V7V power_out Internal LDO output regulating to a typical 6.3 V for driver and control circuits; decouple to power ground with a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor, and V7V is slightly below VIN if VIN is lower than 6.3 V.
6 VIN power_in Supply input for the internal LDO and controllers, specified at 4.5 V to 18 V.
7 PVIN1 power_in Power input supplying the power switches of converter 1 (buck1).
8 PVIN1 power_in Power input supplying the power switches of converter 1 (buck1).
9 PGND1 power_in Power ground of buck1; place the input capacitor ground as close as possible to this pin.
10 PGND1 power_in Power ground of buck1; place the input capacitor ground as close as possible to this pin.
11 PGND1 power_in Power ground of buck1; place the input capacitor ground as close as possible to this pin.
12 PGOOD1 output Open-drain power-good output for buck1 that goes high impedance when output is in range; a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended.
13 PGOOD2 output Open-drain power-good output for buck2 that goes high impedance when output is in range; a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended.
14 FB1 input Feedback sense input for buck1 output via resistor divider, with a 0.6 V ±1% reference; absolute maximum 3.6 V.
15 RLIM1 input Current-limit threshold set pin for buck1; a resistor to GND sets the overcurrent protection level.
16 BST1 power_out Bootstrap capacitor pin between BST1 and LX1 that supplies the high-side MOSFET gate drive; absolute maximum 7 V referenced to LX1.
17 LX1 output Switching node of buck1; absolute maximum −4.5 V to 23 V (transient below 20 ns).
18 LX1 output Switching node of buck1; absolute maximum −4.5 V to 23 V (transient below 20 ns).
19 LX1 output Switching node of buck1; absolute maximum −4.5 V to 23 V (transient below 20 ns).
20 SS1 passive Soft-start and tracking pin for buck1 whose external capacitor sets the reference rise time; voltage here overrides the internal reference, and in current-sharing use it serves as soft-start; absolute maximum 3.6 V.
21 COMP1 passive Error amplifier output and loop compensation pin for buck1; in current-sharing use it serves as the compensation pin; absolute maximum 3.6 V.
22 ROSC input Oscillator frequency programming pin set by an external resistor (200 kHz to 1.6 MHz); it synchronizes to an external clock when one is applied.
23 AGND power_in Analog ground of the controllers; must be tied to power ground at a single point at the V7V capacitor return per the layout guidance.
24 COMP2 passive Error amplifier output and loop compensation pin for buck2; float this pin in current-sharing mode; absolute maximum 3.6 V.
25 SS2 passive Soft-start and tracking pin for buck2 whose external capacitor sets the reference rise time; float this pin in current-sharing mode; absolute maximum 3.6 V.
26 LX2 output Switching node of buck2; absolute maximum −4.5 V to 23 V (transient below 20 ns).
27 LX2 output Switching node of buck2; absolute maximum −4.5 V to 23 V (transient below 20 ns).
28 LX2 output Switching node of buck2; absolute maximum −4.5 V to 23 V (transient below 20 ns).
29 BST2 power_out Bootstrap capacitor pin between BST2 and LX2 that supplies the high-side MOSFET gate drive; absolute maximum 7 V referenced to LX2.
30 RLIM2 input Current-limit threshold set pin for buck2; a resistor to GND sets the overcurrent protection level.
31 FB2 input Feedback sense input for buck2 output via resistor divider, with a 0.6 V ±1% reference; connect to ground in current-sharing mode; absolute maximum 3.6 V.
32 EN1 input Enable pin for buck1 that also sets input undervoltage lockout via two resistors; enable voltage range 0 V to 6 V.
33 EN2 input Enable pin for buck2 that also sets input undervoltage lockout via two resistors; enable voltage range 0 V to 6 V.
34 PGND2 power_in Power ground of buck2; place the input capacitor ground as close as possible to this pin.
35 PGND2 power_in Power ground of buck2; place the input capacitor ground as close as possible to this pin.
36 PGND2 power_in Power ground of buck2; place the input capacitor ground as close as possible to this pin.
37 Thermal Pad power_in Exposed thermal pad connected to power ground that must be soldered to the board with as many vias as possible; no electrical signal is bonded to it inside the package.
