The TPS54316PWP from Texas Instruments is a high-efficiency, 3A synchronous buck (step-down) DC-DC converter with a fixed 3.3V output. Part of the SWIFT™ series, this regulator operates over a wide input voltage range of 3V to 6V, making it suitable for low-voltage power supply designs. With a switching frequency of 350kHz or 550kHz, it balances efficiency and component size, ideal for space-constrained applications. The device integrates a synchronous rectifier for improved efficiency, reducing the need for external Schottky diodes. Packaged in a 20-pin HTSSOP (PowerPAD™) surface-mount package, it offers thermal performance and compactness. Although marked as obsolete, it remains relevant for legacy designs requiring robust performance.
The TPS54316PWP is a reliable, high-performance buck regulator for low-voltage applications, offering efficiency, integration, and thermal advantages. While obsolete, its 3A output, synchronous rectification, and compact form factor make it a pragmatic choice for legacy or cost-sensitive designs. Engineers should evaluate newer alternatives for forward-looking projects but can leverage this IC for proven performance in 3.3V power systems.
