The TLVM13630 and TPSM63603 integrate the controller, power MOSFETs, shielded inductor and several passive components into an Enhanced HotRod QFN package.

Both devices support:

• 3V to 36V input

• Up to 3A output current

• Adjustable 200kHz to 2.2MHz switching frequency

• Constant-frequency FPWM operation

• External bias for improved efficiency

• Negative-output inverting applications

• Power-good output

• Overcurrent and thermal protection

• –40°C to +125°C junction temperature

• Low conducted and radiated EMI

The main selection question is whether the application needs only a low-voltage output up to 6V or requires the wider output and EMI-control functions of TPSM63603.

TLVM13630 vs TPSM63603 Specifications

Which Device Should You Choose?

Choose TLVM13630 When:

The required output is between 1V and 6V

A simple 36V, 3A point-of-load module is needed

External frequency synchronization is unnecessary

Standard low-EMI performance is sufficient

The design uses common 3.3V or 5V rails

Choose TPSM63603 When:

The required output is between 6V and 16V

External clock synchronization is required

Additional EMI optimization is important

Spread-spectrum modulation is preferred

The switch-node slew rate must be adjusted

Greater design flexibility is required

Typical Applications

Both devices are suitable for:

Factory automation equipment

Industrial control systems

Test and measurement equipment

Building automation

12V and 24V bus conversion

FPGA, processor and communication rails

Compact low-EMI power supplies

TPSM63603 is especially useful in systems with higher output-voltage rails or defined EMI frequency requirements.

FAQ

What is the main difference between TLVM13630 and TPSM63603?

TLVM13630 supports outputs up to 6V. TPSM63603 supports outputs up to 16V and adds synchronization, adjustable switch-node slew rate and optional spread-spectrum modulation.

Can both devices operate from a 24V supply?

Yes. Both support input voltages from 3V to 36V, making them suitable for regulated 24V buses. Input transients must remain within the device ratings.

Do TLVM13630 and TPSM63603 require an external inductor?

No. Both modules integrate the shielded power inductor, controller and power MOSFETs.

Are the two modules pin-compatible?

They use the same 30-pin, 4mm × 6mm RDH package. TI lists TPSM63603 as a drop-in replacement with upgraded functionality, but the external configuration should still be reviewed.

Which device is better for low-EMI designs?

Both are designed for low EMI. TPSM63603 provides more control through frequency synchronization, adjustable switch-node slew rate and optional spread-spectrum modulation.

Can these modules generate a negative output?

Yes. Both support negative-output operation when configured as an inverting buck-boost converter.
