Product details
Overview
DA9131-44RT1 from Renesas Electronics is a dual-channel, high-efficiency PMIC integrating two fully synchronous buck converters for CPU/GPU/DDR core rail regulation in mobile and portable systems. It delivers up to 5 A per channel across 0.3 V–1.9 V output range from 2.8 V–5.5 V input, features 4 MHz switching frequency, ±1 % static output voltage accuracy, and remote sensing for precision regulation under load transients.
For engineers reviewing the DA9131-44RT1 datasheet, DA9131-44RT1 pinout, DA9131-44RT1 application, or DA9131-44RT1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-buck current capability, I²C-compatible FM+ interface with configurable slave address, integrated thermal/overcurrent protection, wettable-flank 24-pin FCQFN package (3.3 mm × 4.8 mm), and dynamic voltage scaling support via register or GPIO control.
Technical Context
The DA9131-44RT1 implements two independent single-phase buck regulators with integrated high-side and low-side power MOSFETs-no external FETs or Schottky diodes required. Each channel operates at 4 MHz nominal switching frequency with programmable soft-start and adaptive DVC for real-time voltage adjustment based on processor load.
It uses remote-sense differential feedback (FB1P/FB1N, FB2P/FB2N) to maintain ±1 % static output accuracy despite PCB trace resistance, and supports both port-control and I²C-control system architectures with dedicated nIRQ and PG outputs for system-level sequencing and fault reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and industrial 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.3 V to 1.9 V in 10 mV steps - supports modern SoC core voltages including ARM Cortex-A7x/A8x, GPU LDO bypass, and DDR4/LPDDR4 termination rails. |
| Max Output Current | 5 A per channel - sufficient for high-performance mobile CPU clusters and GPU subsystems without external current sharing. |
| Switching Frequency | 4 MHz nominal - enables use of compact 220 nH inductors and reduces output capacitor count (20 µF total per rail). |
| Output Accuracy | ±1 % (static, VOUT ≥ 1 V) - ensures stable operation of sub-1 V digital logic under line/load/temperature variation. |
| Interface | I²C-compatible FM+ (1 MHz max) - supports multi-device addressing via CONF/GPIO0 and register-based DVC control. |
| Thermal Range | −40 °C to +105 °C ambient - qualified for extended-temperature consumer and industrial portable applications. |
| Protection Features | Integrated over-temperature, over-current, and power-good monitoring - eliminates need for external supervision ICs or discrete sense resistors. |
Pinout & Package
DA9131-44RT1 is housed in a 24-pin FCQFN package with wettable flanks (3.3 mm × 4.8 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and thermal performance in space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVDD1, PVDD2 | Power supply inputs | Independent 5 A-capable input rails for Buck1 and Buck2; decoupling required per channel. |
| LX1, LX2 | Switch node outputs | High-current switched nodes driving external 220 nH inductors; require tight layout to minimize EMI. |

| SCL/GPIO3, SDA/GPIO4 | I²C bus interface / GPIO | FM+ I²C pins with 15 mA drive strength; configurable as general-purpose I/O when I²C disabled. |
| IC_EN | Chip enable input | Active-high enable signal controlling global power-up sequencing and standby entry. |
| CONF/GPIO0 | Configuration select / GPIO | Configures I²C slave address (0x48 or 0x49); also serves as programmable GPIO with interrupt capability. |
| PG | Power-good output | Open-drain output indicating both buck regulators are within ±5 % of target voltage; used for system reset coordination. |
| nIRQ | Interrupt request output | Active-low open-drain signal asserting on thermal warning, overcurrent, or register-access faults. |
| GPIO1, GPIO2 | General-purpose I/O | Configurable as inputs/outputs with pull-up/down; support DVC trigger, status indication, or system handshake. |
| AGND, PGND | Analog & power ground | Separate ground domains minimize noise coupling between sensitive feedback paths and high-current return paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous buck architecture | Two independent 5 A channels with integrated FETs eliminate external power components and reduce BOM count by ≥6 parts per rail. |
| Remote-sense differential feedback | Compensates for PCB trace resistance up to 50 mΩ, maintaining ±1 % output accuracy at full load without calibration. |
| Dynamic voltage control (DVC) | Enables real-time voltage scaling via I²C register write or GPIO edge trigger-reducing SoC dynamic power by up to 30 % during low-load states. |
| Programmable soft-start | Configurable ramp time prevents input inrush current spikes >2 A, protecting upstream power sources and enabling clean rail sequencing. |
| Wettable-flank FCQFN package | Facilitates 100 % solder joint inspection via AOI and improves thermal transfer to PCB ground plane (θJB = 12.37 °C/W). |
| Integrated protection suite | On-die thermal shutdown (TJ_WARN at 125 °C, TCRIT at 150 °C), cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and PG monitoring reduce system-level fault response time to <10 µs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported output current per channel for DA9131-44RT1?
The DA9131-44RT1 supports up to 5 A continuous output current per channel under recommended operating conditions (VIN ≥ VOUT + 1.0 V, TA ≤ +105 °C). This rating is validated with 220 nH inductors and 20 µF output capacitance, and includes derating for thermal limits above 85 °C ambient per the power derating curve in the datasheet. The DA9131-44RT1 achieves this with fully integrated FETs and no external current-sense resistors.
Does DA9131-44RT1 support remote voltage sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, DA9131-44RT1 supports true differential remote sensing on both channels via dedicated FB1P/FB1N and FB2P/FB2N pins. These inputs measure voltage directly at the load point, compensating for PCB trace resistance and ensuring ±1 % static output accuracy even with 50 mΩ of path resistance. The DA9131-44RT1 does not require external op-amps or compensation networks-remote sensing is enabled by default and calibrated internally.
Can DA9131-44RT1 be used in automotive applications?
The DA9131-44RT1 itself is rated for −40 °C to +105 °C ambient and meets industrial reliability standards, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Renesas offers the pin- and function-compatible DA9131-A variant, which is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and undergoes additional stress testing. The DA9131-44RT1 may be deployed in non-safety-critical automotive infotainment or telematics subsystems where qualification is not mandated, but design validation must confirm thermal and ESD margins per ISO 16750.
What I²C interface capabilities does DA9131-44RT1 provide?
DA9131-44RT1 features an I²C-compatible FM+ interface supporting up to 1 MHz clock rate, with programmable slave addresses (0x48 or 0x49) selected via the CONF/GPIO0 pin. It supports standard read/write operations, repeated start conditions, and 7-bit addressing. All registers-including buck configuration, DVC settings, fault status, and GPIO control-are accessible via this interface, enabling full software-defined power management without external microcontroller intervention.
How does DA9131-44RT1 handle thermal protection and overcurrent events?
DA9131-44RT1 integrates on-die thermal monitoring with two thresholds: TJ_WARN at 125 °C triggers an nIRQ assertion and optional DVC reduction, while TCRIT at 150 °C initiates immediate shutdown. Overcurrent protection uses cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting per channel, with configurable ILIM registers (8 A typical). Both protections are self-contained-no external thermistors or sense resistors are needed-and fault status is reported via dedicated nIRQ and register bits readable over I²C.
