Product Overview

The TPS56221 is a Texas Instruments synchronous buck converter for Power_Management designs requiring a 4.5 to 14 V VIN/VDD input and output current capability up to 25 A. It regulates outputs as low as 0.6 V and uses voltage-mode control with feed-forward. The feedback reference is 600 mV typical, with 1% reference accuracy specified for the 600 mV reference voltage.

Frequency configuration is supported through the COMP pin: 40.2 kΩ sets 300 kHz, an open COMP resistor selects the 500 kHz default, and 13.3 kΩ sets 1 MHz. The device includes programmable soft start using a capacitor from EN/SS to GND charged by a 10 µA internal current source, with a typical 1.4 V ramp final voltage.

The package is a 22-pin PQFN PowerPAD / LSON-CLIP with a 6.00 mm x 5.00 mm body. Layout-related component guidance includes a 100 nF BOOT capacitor between BOOT and SW, optional 5 to 10 Ω BOOT series resistance to reduce SW voltage spike, at least 1 µF BP bypass capacitance, and a 1 µF VDD bypass capacitor placed close to GND.
