Product details
Overview
ATA5275-PGPI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 125 kHz, 1.5A peak current BCDMOS antenna driver IC designed as a wake-up channel transmitter for tire pressure measurement (TPM) systems. It integrates a self-tuning VCO, adjustable antenna peak current regulation, bi-directional single-wire DIO interface, and built-in 5V regulator delivering up to 10 mA - enabling magnetic field generation and ASK-modulated data/power transmission to TPMS sensors.
For engineers reviewing the ATA5275-PGPI datasheet, ATA5275-PGPI pinout, ATA5275-PGPI application, or ATA5275-PGPI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, automotive-grade diagnosis features, LF transmission timing parameters, and real-world TPM system integration guidance - all grounded in the official Rev. 4739I–AUTO–01/06 specification.
Technical Context
The ATA5275-PGPI implements a dual-mode VCO: self-oscillating at 115–135 kHz (±8%) with REXT bias, and resonance-tracking mode locked to antenna LC tank frequency (90–160 kHz) via SENSE pin zero-crossing detection. Its half-bridge driver uses DMOS technology with 0.3–0.7 Ω RDSON (both sides) and duty-cycle-regulated output to stabilize antenna current across 8–24 V supply range.
Control logic executes ASK modulation by switching DRV outputs on DIO low (square wave) or grounding them on DIO high. Diagnostics monitor DVCC under-voltage (6.0–7.0 V), antenna frequency deviation, peak current error (>IAPEAK +15%), and thermal shutdown (150–180°C), reporting failures via timed DIO pulses (TERR = 128 µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 125 kHz nominal carrier; auto-tracked from 90–160 kHz to maximize antenna field strength at resonance |
| Antenna Peak Current | Adjustable up to 1.5 A via external RCR resistor; regulated by duty-cycle control to prevent overcurrent at higher supply voltages |
| Supply Voltage Range | 8 V to 24 V direct battery input; includes load dump protection up to 35 V and under-voltage lockout at 6.5 V |
| LF Data Rate | Up to 4 kbaud ASK modulation; anti-bounce filtering (64 µs) rejects noise on DIO line during transmission |
| Standby Current | < 60 µA at 90°C ambient; enables ultra-low-power wake-up channel operation in automotive sleep modes |
| Integrated Regulator | 5.0 V ±0.3 V output at up to 10 mA; powers external storage capacitor and supports microcontroller or K-line interface selection via VDIO pin |

Pinout & Package
ATA5275-PGPI is housed in a Pb-free QFN20 package (5 mm × 5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (2.7 mm × 2.7 mm) per JEDEC MO-220. The package supports high-power dissipation required for 1.5A antenna drive in automotive under-hood conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DVCC1, DVCC2, DVCC3 | Battery supply inputs | Three dedicated 8–24 V inputs decouple power delivery to internal driver stages and reduce ground bounce |
| DRV1, DRV2, DRV3 | Half-bridge driver outputs | Three-phase-capable outputs for driving multi-coil or high-Q antenna configurations; each rated for 1.5A peak |
| SENSE | Antenna current zero-crossing sense | Analog input detecting current polarity reversal to enable resonance tracking and phase-locked oscillation |
| RCR | Peak current reference | External resistor sets IAPEAK (e.g., 25 kΩ → ~1.3 A); enables precise current tuning across voltage and temperature |
| REXT | VCO frequency reference | 100 kΩ sets nominal 125 kHz oscillator frequency; tolerance directly impacts initial carrier accuracy (±8%) |
| DIO | Bi-directional serial interface | Single-wire ASK modulation path: low = transmit, high = idle; also carries ACK (256 µs) and ERR (128 µs) status pulses |
| VDIO | Interface voltage select | Configures DIO for 5 V microcontroller logic or automotive K-line (battery voltage) operation |
| VCC | 5 V regulator output | Stabilized 5.0 V supply for external loads ≤10 mA; requires 10 µF external capacitor for stability |
| BOOST | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Supports high-side gate drive; requires 0.68–2 nF ceramic capacitor for efficient switching |
| DVSS1–DVSS3, VSS | Power and signal grounds | Separate analog/digital and power ground pins minimize noise coupling into sensitive oscillator and sense circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 125 kHz antenna driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP PCF7962 | Fixed 125 kHz carrier; no resonance tracking; lower peak current (1.2 A); requires external VCO components | Lacks automatic antenna tuning - demands tighter LC tolerance and manual calibration per unit | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs field-strength optimization and production test time |
| Infineon TLE6230-2G | Higher drive capability (2.5 A); no integrated 5 V regulator; separate SPI interface instead of single-wire DIO | Requires additional level-shifting and regulator circuitry; suited for multi-antenna or high-power industrial readers | Chosen when system-level integration favors modular architecture over monolithic TPM-specific design |
Compared with PCF7962 and TLE6230-2G, the ATA5275-PGPI uniquely combines resonance-adaptive oscillation, single-wire ASK control, and embedded 5 V regulation - reducing BOM count by ≥4 components and eliminating factory antenna tuning in volume TPM production.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ATA5275-PGPI in a tire pressure monitoring system?
The ATA5275-PGPI serves as the 125 kHz wake-up transmitter in TPMS applications, generating a magnetic field to power and communicate with passive sensors inside tires. It drives an LC antenna tank with up to 1.5 A peak current, uses self-tuning to lock onto antenna resonance, and transmits ASK-modulated commands via its DIO interface - all while operating from 8–24 V battery input and consuming less than 60 µA in standby mode. This functionality is explicitly defined in the device's General Description and Applications sections of Rev. 4739I–AUTO–01/06.
How does the ATA5275-PGPI achieve antenna resonance tracking?
The ATA5275-PGPI achieves antenna resonance tracking through its SENSE pin, which monitors zero-crossing points of antenna current. This signal feeds a phase-lock circuit that adjusts the VCO frequency (CLKRT) to match the antenna's natural resonant frequency between 90 kHz and 160 kHz. The resulting synchronization maximizes magnetic field strength and compensates for temperature drift or component aging - a core feature confirmed in Section 4.5.2 "Resonance Tracking Mode" and Figure 4-5 of the official datasheet.
Can the ATA5275-PGPI operate with both 5 V microcontrollers and automotive K-line interfaces?
Yes, the ATA5275-PGPI supports dual-interface operation via the VDIO pin: connecting VDIO to 5 V configures the DIO line for standard microcontroller logic levels, while connecting it to battery voltage enables compliance with automotive K-line specifications. This flexibility is documented in Section 4.4.2 "DIO Interface" and validated by electrical characteristics in Table 9 (e.g., VDIO leakage current tested at 13.5 V). The DIO line handles both ASK modulation and bidirectional fault signaling regardless of interface mode.
What diagnostic capabilities does the ATA5275-PGPI provide during transmission?
The ATA5275-PGPI performs real-time diagnosis of antenna frequency deviation (outside 90–160 kHz), antenna peak current error (>IAPEAK +15%), DVCC under-voltage (<6.5 V), and thermal overload (>165°C). Detected faults trigger standardized DIO error pulses (TERR = 128 µs), distinct from normal acknowledge pulses (TACK = 256 µs). These functions are fully specified in Sections 4.7.1–4.7.2 and Table 9 parameter #4.6 (low-frequency failure threshold) of Rev. 4739I–AUTO–01/06.
What external components are mandatory for basic ATA5275-PGPI operation?
Mandatory external components for ATA5275-PGPI include: REXT (100 kΩ) for VCO frequency setting; RCR (25–200 kΩ) to define antenna peak current; RSENSE (0.1–1 Ω) for current sensing; BOOST capacitor (0.68–2 nF); VCC decoupling capacitor (10 µF); and DVCC bulk capacitor (100 µF/50 V). These are listed in Table 10 "External Components" and Figure 11-1 of the datasheet - omission of any invalidates resonance tracking, current regulation, or stable 5 V output.
