Product details
Overview
TPS55162QPWPTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, synchronous buck-boost DC-DC converter supporting 2-V to 36-V input and delivering adjustable 5.7-V to 9-V output at up to 0.8 A (VIN ≥ 3.8 V), with automatic step-down/step-up mode transition, 2-MHz fixed-frequency operation, and integrated power-good with configurable delay. It serves as a primary voltage regulator in start-stop automotive infotainment and gateway modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS55162QPWPTQ1 datasheet, TPS55162QPWPTQ1 pinout, TPS55162QPWPTQ1 application, or TPS55162QPWPTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C), low-power mode quiescent current (<15 µA), VIN undervoltage lockout (2 V), and HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™ thermal performance for high-reliability automotive power rails.
Technical Context
The TPS55162QPWPTQ1 implements a fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control architecture with synchronous rectification across both buck and boost power stages. Its overlap control logic enables seamless, loss-minimized transitions between step-down and step-up modes without external intervention.
It integrates dual bootstrap circuits (BST1/L1 for buck, BST2/L2 for boost), internal gate-drive supplies (VREG/VREG_Q), and analog feedback via VOS_FB with resistive divider configuration. The device supports IGN wake-up with hysteresis (0.76–1.35 V), programmable PG delay (0.5–40 ms via PG_DLY resistor), and overtemperature shutdown at 175–210°C.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS55162QPWPTQ1 is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PGND for optimal thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power ground | Main return path for high-current switching nodes (L1/L2); must connect to thermal pad |
| L1 (Pin 2) | Buck switch node | Connects to one end of buck inductor; drives high-side FET of buck stage |
| BST1 (Pin 3) | Buck bootstrap | Supplies gate drive for buck high-side FET; requires 100-nF capacitor to L1 |
| VINP / VINL (Pins 4/5) | Power inputs | VINP: main supply input; VINL: bias supply input - both connect to same battery rail |
| IGN (Pin 6) | Ignition enable | Wake-up trigger with 2.5–3.7 V threshold; supports power-latch via IGN_PWRL |
| VOS_FB (Pin 14) | Feedback input | Configures output voltage (5.7–9 V) via resistive divider; reference voltage = 0.8 V (±2%) |
| VOUT_SENSE (Pin 16) | Output sensing | Direct connection to VOUT for accurate regulation; decouples layout-sensitive feedback |
| PG (Pin 15) | Power-good output | Open-drain status signal; asserts low when VOUT deviates >5% from nominal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost mode transition | Eliminates external control logic; maintains regulation across VIN crossing VOUT without dropout |
| Configurable power-good delay | 0.5–40 ms via resistor on PG_DLY pin - prevents false PG assertion during soft-start or load transients |
| Low-power mode with <15 µA IQ | Enables extended ECU standby while preserving CAN bus monitoring capability |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - suitable for under-hood and dashboard mounting |
| Integrated overvoltage and overtemperature protection | VOUT OV trip at 110–125% of setpoint; thermal shutdown at 175–210°C with 30°C hysteresis |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS55160QPWPTQ1 | Same package and pinout; supports spread-spectrum EMI reduction and identical 5.7–9-V adjustable output | Includes SS_EN pin for EMI control; otherwise functionally identical for most automotive designs | Select TPS55160QPWPTQ1 if radiated emissions compliance (CISPR 25 Class 5) is required |
| LM61480QRPWRQ1 | 3.5-V to 36-V input, 1-A sync buck only; no step-up capability; 2.1-MHz fixed frequency | Lacks buck-boost topology - cannot regulate when VIN < VOUT; requires separate boost stage for wide-input apps | Choose LM61480QRPWRQ1 only for pure step-down use cases with VIN always > VOUT |
Compared with TPS55162QPWPTQ1, TPS55160QPWPTQ1 adds spread-spectrum operation without changing footprint or regulation behavior, while LM61480QRPWRQ1 offers higher current but sacrifices step-up functionality - making it unsuitable for battery-cranking or solar-battery hybrid applications requiring VIN < VOUT support.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS55162QPWPTQ1 to start up?
The TPS55162QPWPTQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 5.3 V at VINP/VINL to initiate startup under typical conditions (TJ = 25°C, IOUT < 400 mA, COUT = 22 µF). This ensures sufficient headroom for internal bias generation before regulation begins. Below this threshold, the device remains in shutdown until VIN rises above the UVLO release point of 2 V.
How is the output voltage set on TPS55162QPWPTQ1?
The TPS55162QPWPTQ1 uses an external resistive divider connected between VOUT, VOS_FB, and GND to set the output voltage from 5.7 V to 9 V. The internal reference at VOS_FB is 0.8 V (±2%), so R1/R2 ratio determines VOUT = 0.8 × (1 + R1/R2). Total divider resistance must remain below 1 MΩ to minimize leakage error and noise susceptibility.
Does TPS55162QPWPTQ1 support spread-spectrum frequency modulation?
No, TPS55162QPWPTQ1 does not support spread-spectrum operation. That feature is exclusive to TPS55160QPWPTQ1 and TPS55165QPWPTQ1, which have dedicated SS_EN pin functionality. On TPS55162QPWPTQ1, SS_EN is not implemented - tying it low or leaving it floating has no effect on switching frequency behavior.
What thermal design guidance applies to TPS55162QPWPTQ1 in HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™ package?
For TPS55162QPWPTQ1, the exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 100-mm² copper pour connected to PGND to achieve the specified RθJA of 35.4 °C/W. TI recommends 4–6 thermal vias (0.3-mm diameter) under the pad, filled and plated, connecting to inner-layer ground planes. Without proper thermal relief, junction temperature may exceed 150°C at full load and high ambient.
Can TPS55162QPWPTQ1 operate with input voltage lower than its output voltage setting?
Yes, TPS55162QPWPTQ1 automatically transitions into step-up mode when VIN falls below the regulated VOUT level (e.g., 7 V), maintaining regulation down to VIN = 2.3 V at reduced output current (0.4 A). This seamless buck-to-boost crossover is handled internally without mode pins or external control, enabling robust operation during automotive cranking events.
