Product details
Overview
DA9131-XXRT1-A from Renesas Electronics is a dual-channel, automotive-grade PMIC integrating two fully synchronous buck converters for CPU/GPU and DDR memory rail regulation in ADAS and infotainment systems. It delivers up to 5 A per channel across 0.3 V–1.9 V output, operates from 2.8 V–5.5 V input, features 4 MHz switching, ±1 % static voltage accuracy, and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the DA9131-XXRT1-A datasheet, DA9131-XXRT1-A pinout, DA9131-XXRT1-A application, or DA9131-XXRT1-A equivalent, key selection criteria include remote-sense feedback capability, I2C-compatible FM+ interface with configurable slave address, Dynamic Voltage Control (DVC) support via register or GPIO, integrated over-temperature/over-current protection, and wettable-flank 24-pin FCQFN (3.3 mm × 4.8 mm) packaging for automotive thermal and reliability requirements.
Technical Context
The DA9131-XXRT1-A implements two independent single-phase buck regulators with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, eliminating external FETs or Schottky diodes. Each channel supports programmable soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and remote differential sensing (FB1P/FB1N, FB2P/FB2N) for ±1 % output accuracy under load and line variation.
Its digital control core includes an I2C-FM+ interface (up to 1 MHz), four configurable GPIOs (GPIO0–GPIO4), interrupt reporting (nIRQ), power-good signaling (PG), and Dynamic Voltage Control that adjusts output voltage in real time based on processor load-enabling adaptive power management in SoC/FPGA-based automotive ECUs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4436-AEC1 | Single-channel, 6 A, 2.5 V–6 V input; no remote sensing; I2C interface optional (requires external EEPROM). | Requires two devices for dual-rail; lacks DVC and differential feedback - less suitable for precision SoC core regulation. | Select when cost-sensitive single-rail designs dominate and remote sensing is not required. |
| TPS659421-Q1 | Multi-rail PMIC (4 buck + LDOs); 3.0 V–5.5 V input; 0.5 V–1.5 V output; ±2 % accuracy; 2.2 MHz switching. | Higher integration but larger 48-pin VQFN; lower switching frequency increases inductor size; no wettable flanks. | Select when full-system power sequencing (including LDOs and watchdog) is needed alongside dual bucks. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported I2C clock frequency for the DA9131-XXRT1-A?
The DA9131-XXRT1-A supports Fast Mode Plus (FM+) I2C communication up to 1 MHz. This high-speed interface enables rapid register configuration and real-time Dynamic Voltage Control updates during processor load transitions. The SCL/GPIO3 and SDA/GPIO4 pins are internally pulled down and require external 2.2 kΩ pull-ups to AVDD. All I2C timing parameters-including setup, hold, and pulse widths-are fully specified in Table 11 of the R16DS0569EJ0300 datasheet, ensuring robust operation in noisy automotive environments.
Does the DA9131-XXRT1-A support remote sensing on both output channels?
Yes, the DA9131-XXRT1-A provides dedicated differential remote sense inputs for both channels: FB1P/FB1N for Channel 1 and FB2P/FB2N for Channel 2. Each pair enables Kelvin connection directly at the load point, compensating for PCB trace resistance and maintaining ±1 % output voltage accuracy under varying load and temperature conditions. This capability is essential for regulating CPU and DDR rails where voltage margin is tightly constrained, and it is validated across the full −40 °C to +105 °C ambient range per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements.
What is the purpose of the CONF/GPIO0 pin on the DA9131-XXRT1-A?
The CONF/GPIO0 pin on the DA9131-XXRT1-A serves a dual function: as a hardware configuration input to select one of two I2C slave addresses (0x48 or 0x49), or as a general-purpose input/output when configured via register. When used for address selection, it eliminates the need for external address strapping resistors in multi-PMIC systems-such as those powering separate SoC and GPU rails-reducing layout complexity and improving routing density in compact automotive ECUs. Its behavior is controlled by the SYS_CONFIG_0 register bit [CONF_EN].
How does the DA9131-XXRT1-A implement Dynamic Voltage Control (DVC)?
The DA9131-XXRT1-A implements Dynamic Voltage Control (DVC) through two independent pathways: software-controlled register writes via its I2C-FM+ interface, or hardware-triggered adjustment using a dedicated GPIO pin (e.g., GPIO2). DVC dynamically scales the output voltage of either buck channel in response to processor load state-e.g., lowering CPU core voltage from 1.2 V to 0.7 V during idle-to reduce dynamic power dissipation. The feature is fully integrated with internal DACs and feedback loop compensation, requiring no external components, and is documented in Section 5.1.4 and Register Maps BUCK_BUCK1_0–BUCK_BUCK2_6 of the datasheet.
Is the DA9131-XXRT1-A pin-to-pin compatible with other Renesas DA-series PMICs?
No, the DA9131-XXRT1-A is not pin-to-pin compatible with other Renesas DA-series PMICs such as the DA9062 or DA9230. It uses a unique 24-pin FCQFN package with specific pin assignments-including dual LX1/LX2 outputs, separate PVDD1/PVDD2 supplies, and dedicated FB pairs-that differ in count, function, and layout from earlier generations. Migration requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation. Compatibility is limited to functional equivalence within the DA913x family (e.g., DA9130 variants), but even then, pin mapping and register definitions must be verified against individual datasheets.
