TPS54120RGYR Übersicht

The Texas Instruments TPS54120 is a low-noise, 1A power supply that integrates a high-efficiency step-down DC-DC converter with a high power-supply-rejection low-dropout regulator (LDO) in a single 24-pin VQFN (5.5x3.5 mm) package. It operates from a 4.5V to 17V input, well suited to 12V power buses, with switching frequency adjustable from 200kHz to 1.2MHz.

A power supply with an integrated DC-DC converter and LDO is a hybrid power management architecture within the voltage regulator family of power management ICs: the buck converter performs efficient step-down conversion, while the downstream LDO provides high power-supply rejection (PSR) and low output noise for sensitive loads. This two-stage approach in one IC eliminates the discrete two-chip design effort and is essential for powering clocking distribution, data converters, and RF circuits.

Key features include adjustable output voltage up to 6.0V via external resistors, soft-start, switching-frequency synchronization to an external clock, spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) for EMI reduction, power-good output, output discharge, fixed UVLO, overcurrent protection, and synchronous rectification. The fully configurable converter and LDO allow a wide range of low-noise rail designs from a single device.

Architecturally, the proprietary interaction between the buck stage and the LDO optimizes the efficiency-versus-noise trade-off: the converter handles the bulk voltage transformation, keeping LDO dropout small so PSR remains high with minimal efficiency penalty. The 24-VQFN (RGY) package provides a compact footprint with good thermal performance for space-constrained designs.

Typical applications include telecom infrastructure, pico and femto base stations, and powering sensitive clocking distribution such as PLLs, VCOs, and high-speed ADCs and DACs, where clean rails directly improve phase noise and SNR.

Design tip: keep the switching node short to minimize EMI, bypass the LDO output with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability, and use the soft-start pin to control inrush current at power-up. Prices referenced are as of 2026-08-29.

🌐

Telecom Infrastructure Power

The TPS54120 fits telecom infrastructure rails because its 4.5V to 17V input directly accepts 12V distributed bus voltages while delivering a regulated, low-noise output up to 6.0V at 1A. The integrated buck plus high-PSR LDO architecture suppresses switching ripple so downstream line cards and clock circuits see a clean supply. Spread-spectrum clocking and 200kHz to 1.2MHz frequency synchronization help the system pass EMC requirements in dense chassis environments.

📡

Pico and Femto Base Stations

In pico and femto base stations, board area and noise are both critical. The TPS54120 consolidates a buck converter and LDO into a single 24-VQFN (5.5x3.5 mm) footprint, cutting BOM count versus a discrete two-chip solution. Its high power-supply rejection keeps the local oscillator and transceiver supply quiet, while fixed UVLO and overcurrent protection add robustness for outdoor small-cell hardware running from 12V feeds.

⚡

Clocking Distribution (PLL/VCO)

The TPS54120 is explicitly targeted at powering sensitive clocking distribution such as PLLs and VCOs. The LDO stage rejects ripple from the internal synchronous buck, so phase-noise degradation from supply modulation is minimized - directly improving jitter performance. Adjustable output up to 6.0V supports common clock-IC core voltages, and the power-good pin enables rail monitoring in redundant clock trees. Frequency synchronization keeps the switching tone out of sensitive measurement bands.

🖥️

High-Speed ADC/DAC Analog Rails

High-speed data converters require analog supply rails with low noise and high PSR to preserve SNR. The TPS54120 supplies up to 1A at up to 6.0V with the LDO stage filtering the buck ripple, providing the clean AVDD rail converters need. Bypassing the LDO output with low-ESR ceramic capacitors maintains stability and low output impedance across the converter's sampling bandwidth. The compact VQFN-24 keeps the supply close to the converter.

🏭

Industrial 12V Bus Point-of-Load

The TPS54120's 4.5V to 17V input range accommodates industrial 12V buses with tolerance for transients, making it a compact point-of-load supply for PLC I/O, sensors, and mixed-signal boards. Synchronous rectification improves light-load efficiency, and adjustable soft-start controls inrush on shared rails. Overcurrent protection and output discharge simplify fault handling in multi-rail industrial systems where controlled shutdown sequencing matters.

🔧

Test and Measurement Instruments

Bench instruments and modules need quiet local supplies near clock oscillators and precision analog front ends. The TPS54120 provides a single-IC solution: the buck stage handles efficient step-down from 12V, while the high-PSR LDO delivers the low-noise rail that keeps spectrum-analyzer-grade signal chains free of spurs. Adjustable switching frequency allows designers to place residual switching tones outside the instrument's measurement bands.

What is the TPS54120?
The TPS54120 is a low-noise, 1A power supply from Texas Instruments that integrates a step-down DC-DC converter with a high-PSR low-dropout regulator in one package. According to the TI datasheet, it operates from 4.5V to 17V input, switches from 200kHz to 1.2MHz, and comes in a 24-VQFN (5.5x3.5 mm) package.
What is the input voltage range of the TPS54120?
The TPS54120 operates from a 4.5V to 17V input voltage range. This makes it directly compatible with 12V industrial and telecom power buses with headroom for transients. Per the TI datasheet, the device includes fixed undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and overcurrent protection for robust operation on distributed power rails.
What is the price of TPS54120RGYR?
As of 2026-08-29, TPS54120RGYR is priced around $6.10 at 1 unit, $5.49 at 10 units, $4.72 at 100 units, and approximately $3.66 at 1000 units from distributors. Check DigiKey or Mouser for live stock and pricing, as unit costs vary with reel quantities and lead times.
Where can I buy TPS54120 online?
You can buy the TPS54120 from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and TI.com. DigiKey lists TPS54120RGYT with same-day shipping, and Mouser stocks TPS54120RGYR. XAIPART also offers this part with datasheet access and quantity pricing tiers for prototype and production volumes.

According to DigiKey product listing data, the TPS54120RGYT ships today from stock, indicating good availability as of 2026-08-29. The part is listed as active (not obsolete) by TI. For high-volume orders, verify distributor stock or request factory lead times, which typically run several weeks for Tape & Reel quantities of 250 units.
What is the difference between TPS54120 and TPS62912?
The TPS62912 is a low-noise buck converter only, while the TPS54120 integrates both a buck converter and a high-PSR LDO in one IC. Per TI's compare tool, both offer enable, frequency sync, spread-spectrum, power good, soft-start, and output discharge; only the TPS54120 provides the built-in two-stage low-noise LDO output. Choose TPS54120 when you need a single-IC low-noise supply; TPS62912 when pairing with a discrete LDO.
Can TPS62912 replace TPS54120?
Not as a drop-in replacement. The TPS62912 uses a different package and lacks the integrated LDO, so a TPS62912-based design needs an external low-noise LDO stage to match TPS54120 noise performance. The redesign can shrink board area but requires layout and loop-compensation changes. There is no pin-compatible cross-brand equivalent for TPS54120's integrated buck-plus-LDO architecture.
When should I choose the TPS54120 over a separate buck + LDO pair?
Choose the TPS54120 when board space, BOM count, and guaranteed buck-to-LDO interaction matter more than flexibility. The integrated architecture keeps LDO dropout small, maintaining high PSR with minimal efficiency penalty. If you need output voltages above 6V, very high current, or a non-12V bus, a discrete buck plus separate LDO gives more headroom and parameter freedom.
Is the TPS54120 suitable for powering PLLs and VCOs?
Yes, the TPS54120 is specifically designed for powering sensitive clocking distribution such as PLLs and VCOs. Its high power-supply rejection LDO stage suppresses switching ripple from the internal buck converter, delivering a clean rail that directly improves phase noise. The 200kHz to 1.2MHz adjustable frequency also lets you steer switching noise away from sensitive RF bands.
What is the best TPS54120 equivalent from other manufacturers?
There is no widely recognized cross-brand pin-compatible equivalent for the TPS54120; its integrated buck-plus-LDO architecture is unique to TI. The closest external approach is a low-noise buck (for example, TPS62912 or LTC3406-class parts) followed by a high-PSR LDO (for example, TPS7A4701 or ADM7150). No single-device substitute exists in ADI, onsemi, or Renesas catalogs.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose the TPS54120 when you need a complete low-noise 1A supply from a 12V bus in minimal board area - especially for clocking distribution, base stations, and data-converter rails where its integrated high-PSR LDO outperforms a buck alone. Choose TPS62912 plus an external LDO (e.g., TPS7A4701) if you need output voltages above 6.0V, more than 1A, or a much smaller footprint, accepting a two-chip BOM and redesign. Choose TPS54620 when efficiency and 3A capability matter more than output noise. There is no pin-compatible cross-brand drop-in equivalent; any replacement requires PCB redesign. Trade-off summary: TPS54120 wins on integration and noise, loses on output ceiling (6.0V max) and current (1A).

  • 200kHz-1.2MHz adjustable frequency with SSC (vs. TPS54620)
  • Compact 5.5x3.5 mm VQFN-24 for a complete two-stage supply (vs. TPS74801QDRCRQ1)

Designhinweise

Keep the PH switching node and BOOT capacitor connections as short and compact as possible to minimize EMI and parasitic ringing. Place VIN decoupling ceramic capacitors within 2-3 mm of the VIN pin, and route the power ground (PGND) return directly under the switching loop. Use the exposed pad as the main thermal and ground connection with a solid via array to the ground plane.

Bypass the LDO output with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor per the datasheet's stability requirements to ensure loop stability and low output impedance. Set the soft-start capacitor to limit inrush on shared 12V rails, and use the adjustable RT/CLK resistor to place the switching frequency away from sensitive RF bands or synchronize to a system clock.

Do not exceed 17V input - the device is intended for 12V buses with limited headroom, not wide Vin applications. Verify the LDO input-to-output headroom: if the buck output is set too close to the LDO output, PSR degrades. Ensure the output divider uses 1% or better resistors to keep the adjustable output within the 6.0V maximum.
