Product details
Overview
ATA5276M-PGPW from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 125 kHz BCDMOS antenna driver IC designed as a wake-up channel transmitter for tire pressure measurement (TPM) systems. It delivers up to 1.5 A peak antenna current, operates from 8 V to 24 V battery input, features self-tuning oscillator tracking of antenna resonance frequency, and integrates a 5 V regulator supplying up to 10 mA for external circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the ATA5276M-PGPW datasheet, ATA5276M-PGPW pinout, ATA5276M-PGPW application, or ATA5276M-PGPW equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, validated alternative parts, and supply support details specific to the QFN20 package variant.
Technical Context
The ATA5276M-PGPW implements a dual-mode VCO: self-oscillating at 115–135 kHz (±8%) when idle, and resonance-tracking mode locked to antenna LC tank frequency (90–160 kHz) during transmission via zero-crossing detection on SENSE. Its half-bridge driver uses DMOS transistors with ≤0.7 Ω RDSON per side and duty-cycle regulation (15–85%) to maintain precise 1.5 A peak current across supply voltage variations.
Control and diagnostics occur over a bi-directional single-wire DIO interface supporting ASK modulation up to 4 kbaud. The IC performs real-time antenna diagnosis-including peak current error (>IAPEAK +15%), frequency deviation (<90 kHz or >160 kHz), and under-voltage detection (<6.5 V)-and reports faults via timed low pulses on DIO (TERR = 128 µs).
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ATA5276M-PGPW in automotive systems?
The ATA5276M-PGPW serves as a 125 kHz antenna driver IC optimized for wake-up channel transmission in tire pressure monitoring (TPM) and keyless entry systems. It generates a magnetic field to power and communicate with passive sensors or transponders, featuring self-tuning to antenna resonance, adjustable peak current up to 1.5 A, and integrated diagnostics-all within a QFN20 package rated for –40°C to +105°C operation.
How does the ATA5276M-PGPW achieve resonance tracking without external tuning components?
The ATA5276M-PGPW uses internal zero-crossing detection on the SENSE pin to monitor antenna current phase relative to the DRV output voltage. Its VCO automatically locks to the antenna's natural resonant frequency (90–160 kHz) by adjusting the carrier signal in real time-eliminating need for trimmer capacitors or manual calibration. This ensures maximum field strength across temperature, aging, and manufacturing tolerances.
Can the ATA5276M-PGPW operate with both 5 V microcontrollers and automotive K-line interfaces?
Yes-the ATA5276M-PGPW supports dual-interface modes via the VDIO pin. When VDIO is tied to 5 V, the DIO line functions as a standard CMOS-level serial interface compatible with microcontrollers. When VDIO connects to battery voltage (8–24 V), the DIO line complies with ISO 9141-2/K-line specifications for direct ECU integration-enabling seamless use in diverse automotive control units without level-shifting circuitry.
What protection features does the ATA5276M-PGPW include for harsh automotive environments?
The ATA5276M-PGPW integrates load dump protection (31 V clamping), overtemperature shutdown (165°C), under-voltage detection (6.5 V threshold), and antenna fault diagnosis (detuning, open/short). It also features anti-bounce filtering (64 µs) on the DIO line and a debounce timer (20 µs) for driver switch-off-ensuring robust operation during cranking, jump-starts, and electromagnetic interference events per ISO 11452 and ISO 7637 standards.
How is antenna peak current adjusted on the ATA5276M-PGPW?
Antenna peak current (IAPEAK) on the ATA5276M-PGPW is set externally using a resistor (RCR) connected to the RCR pin. With a typical 25 kΩ resistor, IAPEAK is configured to 1.5 A. The relationship follows IAPEAK = (750 mA × 50 kΩ) / RCR, allowing adjustment from ~750 mA to 1.8 A. This enables precise current limiting across battery voltage ranges while protecting the antenna coil and driver stage from overcurrent stress.
