Product details
Overview
TPS2511QDGNQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified USB Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) controller and current-limiting power switch with 80-mΩ high-side MOSFET, ±10% accurate 2.3 A typical current limit, and auto-detection of BC1.2 short-mode, divider-mode (2.7 V/2.0 V), and 1.2 V/1.2 V DCP signatures - deployed in vehicle USB power chargers and AC-DC wall adapters.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2511QDGNQ1 datasheet, TPS2511QDGNQ1 pinout, TPS2511QDGNQ1 application, or TPS2511QDGNQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include DCP signature compatibility (BC1.2/China YD/T 1591/divider), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection threshold (3.8 V OUT), CS pin for cable compensation, EN logic-level control, and MSOP-8 thermal performance (θJA = 65.2°C/W).
Technical Context
The TPS2511QDGNQ1 integrates a programmable current-limit power switch and autonomous DCP detection logic that monitors DP/DM line voltages to select among three output signature modes: shorted (BC1.2), 2.7 V/2.0 V divider, or 1.2 V/1.2 V - all compliant with USB Battery Charging Specification Rev 1.2 and YD/T 1591-2009. It uses internal charge-pump-driven gate drive for the N-channel MOSFET.
Hiccup mode activates when OUT voltage drops below 3.8 V for ≥16 ms under overload, forcing 12 s off-time to limit thermal stress; UVLO disables operation below 4.1 V (with 100 mV hysteresis), and the CS pin provides active-low current-sense reporting at ~50% of programmed ILIM with 8 ms deglitch.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports stable 5 V rail operation across automotive load dump and cold-crank conditions. |
| Current Limit Accuracy | ±10% at 2.3 A typical - enables precise overcurrent protection without derating for worst-case RILIM tolerance. |
| RDS(on) | 80 mΩ typical - minimizes conduction loss (≤115 mW at 1.5 A) and self-heating in compact MSOP-8 package. |
| Hiccup Threshold | 3.8 V OUT voltage - triggers 12 s off-cycle when VBUS collapses due to short or heavy capacitive load. |
| DCP Signature Support | BC1.2 short-mode, 2.7 V/2.0 V divider, 1.2 V/1.2 V - ensures interoperability with smartphones, tablets, and PMPs requiring fast-charge handshaking. |
| Thermal Protection | 155°C junction shutdown (rising), 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| EN Input Compatibility | TTL/CMOS logic levels (0.9–1.65 V trip, 100–300 mV hysteresis) - allows direct interface with microcontrollers or PMIC enable signals. |
Pinout & Package
TPS2511QDGNQ1 is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (DGN) package with exposed PowerPAD for enhanced thermal dissipation; pin 1 is GND, pin 5 is EN, pin 8 is OUT, and pins 6/7 are DP/DM bidirectional DCP signature outputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1 & Pin 9/PAD) | Ground reference and thermal path | Two ground connections: Pin 1 for signal return, PowerPAD for thermal conduction to PCB copper. |
| ILIM_SET (Pin 2) | Current limit programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets ILIM from 1.1 A to 3.3 A per RILIM = 16.9–750 kΩ; accuracy optimized <210 kΩ. |
| IN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–5.5 V supply; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| CS (Pin 4) | Current sense open-drain output | Active-low signal asserted when IOUT > ~50% of programmed ILIM; sinks ≤10 mA; used for cable IR compensation. |
| EN (Pin 5) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.1 V) enables switch and DCP logic; logic-low disables OUT and places DP/DM in high-Z state. |
| OUT (Pin 8) | Switched VBUS output | Drives USB VBUS line; features soft-start (1.5 ms rise), discharge resistor (~500 Ω), and reverse-blocking capability. |
| DP (Pin 6) / DM (Pin 7) | DCP signature output terminals | Auto-configured as shorted, 2.7 V/2.0 V, or 1.2 V/1.2 V based on attached device detection; output impedance 24–130 kΩ depending on mode. |

FAQ
What USB charging standards does the TPS2511QDGNQ1 support?
The TPS2511QDGNQ1 supports USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2 (BC1.2), Chinese Telecommunications Industry Standard YD/T 1591-2009, and proprietary divider-mode DCP signatures (2.7 V/2.0 V and 1.2 V/1.2 V). It does not support Apple 2.4 A or Qualcomm Quick Charge protocols. The TPS2511QDGNQ1 implements auto-detection to select the appropriate signature based on attached device behavior, ensuring broad smartphone and tablet compatibility without firmware intervention.
How is the current limit set on the TPS2511QDGNQ1?
The current limit on the TPS2511QDGNQ1 is set externally using a resistor connected between the ILIM_SET pin and GND. The nominal current limit follows IOS_TYP (mA) = 51228 / RILIM (kΩ), supporting a range from 1.1 A to 3.3 A with recommended RILIM values between 16.9 kΩ and 210 kΩ for best accuracy. For example, a 22.1 kΩ resistor yields ~2.3 A typical limit. The TPS2511QDGNQ1 maintains ±10% tolerance across temperature and process variation.
What is the function of the CS pin on the TPS2511QDGNQ1?
The CS pin on the TPS2511QDGNQ1 is an active-low, open-drain current-sense output that asserts when the OUT current exceeds approximately 50% of the programmed current limit. It provides a fast response (<1.5 µs) with built-in 8 ms deglitching to reject noise. Engineers use the CS signal to dynamically adjust the VBUS setpoint in the upstream DC-DC converter, compensating for voltage drop across USB cables up to 200 mΩ - ensuring ≥4.75 V reaches the connected device. The TPS2511QDGNQ1 CS pin sinks up to 10 mA.
Does the TPS2511QDGNQ1 provide thermal protection?
Yes, the TPS2511QDGNQ1 includes dual thermal protection: (1) Overtemperature shutdown at 155°C junction temperature (rising) with 10°C hysteresis, and (2) Hiccup-mode activation when OUT voltage falls below 3.8 V for ≥16 ms under overload - resulting in 12 s off-time cycles. Both mechanisms protect the device during sustained short circuits or poor heatsinking. The TPS2511QDGNQ1's MSOP-8 PowerPAD package achieves θJA = 65.2°C/W on 2-layer PCBs, enabling 2.3 A continuous operation with proper copper area.
Can the TPS2511QDGNQ1 be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes, the TPS2511QDGNQ1 is fully functional in commercial and industrial applications, though it is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified for automotive use (–40°C to +125°C ambient). Its robust DCP signature generation, hiccup-mode protection, and wide input range (4.5–5.5 V) make it suitable for AC-DC wall adapters, USB hubs, docking stations, and industrial dock chargers.
