Product details
Overview
TPS55165QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive synchronous buck-boost DC-DC converter delivering fixed 5-V or 12-V output at up to 1-A load, operating from 2-V to 36-V input, with 2-MHz fixed-frequency PWM control and automatic step-up/step-down mode transition. It serves as the primary power rail for infotainment systems and body control modules in start-stop vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS55165QPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS55165QPWPRQ1 application, or TPS55165QPWPRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal performance in HTSSOP PowerPAD™, and real-world automotive use cases - all grounded in TI's SLVSD46A production datasheet.
Technical Context
The TPS55165QPWPRQ1 implements a single-inductor, four-switch synchronous buck-boost topology with overlap control logic that enables seamless, loss-minimized transitions between buck and boost modes across wide VIN ranges (e.g., 2 V to 36 V). Its internal gate drivers support 2-MHz switching with integrated bootstrap circuits for both buck (BST1/L1) and boost (BST2/L2) stages.
It integrates functional safety features including configurable power-good with programmable delay (PG_DLY), overtemperature shutdown (175°C–210°C threshold), output overvoltage protection (110%–125% of nominal), and ignition wake-up with hysteresis (IGNPD = 1.5–2.7 V, IGNWAKE = 2.5–3.7 V), meeting ASIL-B system-level requirements when implemented per TI's safety documentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V (VINP/VINL); supports cold-crank (2.3 V) and load-dump (36 V) conditions in automotive battery systems |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V (VOS_FB = GND) or 12 V (VOS_FB = VREG); ±2% regulation accuracy over line/load/temp |
| Max Output Current | 1 A at 5 V with VIN ≥ 5.3 V; 0.8 A at VIN ≥ 3.8 V; 0.4 A at VIN ≥ 2.3 V - maintains ECU operation during cranking |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz (fixed, forced-PWM); enables <5-mm² inductor footprint and reduces EMI fundamental frequency |
| Quiescent Current | <15 µA in low-power mode (PS = high); meets OEM standby current budgets for always-on CAN listening |
| Shutdown Current | <3 µA (IGN = low); minimizes parasitic drain on 12-V battery during vehicle off-state |
| Package Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 35.4°C/W (HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™); enables 1-A operation without external heatsink at TA ≤ 85°C |
Pinout & Package
TPS55165QPWPRQ1 uses a 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PGND for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin numbering follows TI standard top-view orientation (Pin 1 = PGND, Pin 20 = L2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (1) | Power ground reference | Main return path for high-current switch nodes (L1/L2) and output capacitor; must connect to thermal pad |
| L1 (2), L2 (20) | Buck/boost switch nodes | Connect opposite ends of same 4.7-µH inductor; define buck (L1→VINP) and boost (L2→VOUT) current paths |
| BST1 (3), BST2 (19) | Bootstrap supply inputs | Drive high-side FET gates via 100-nF capacitors (BST1–L1, BST2–L2); enable 100% duty cycle capability |
| VINP (4), VINL (5) | Main and bias supply inputs | VINP handles full input current; VINL powers internal LDOs - both require 10-µF ceramic input capacitance |
| IGN (6) | Ignition wake-up enable | High-voltage tolerant (–7 V to 40 V); triggers startup from battery; hysteresis prevents chatter during cranking transients |
| PS (7) | Low-power mode control | Logic-high enables ultra-low-IQ mode (<15 µA); logic-low forces continuous 2-MHz operation across full load range |
| VOS_FB (14) | Output voltage select | GND = 5 V output; VREG = 12 V output - no external resistor divider required for fixed outputs |
| PG (15) | Open-drain power-good | Asserts low if VOUT deviates >5% from nominal; delay configurable via RDLY (0.5–40 ms) on PG_DLY (10) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost mode transition | Eliminates output discontinuity during VIN crossover (e.g., 5 V → 4.5 V); maintains regulated VOUT without external control logic |
| Selectable spread spectrum (SS_EN) | Reduces peak radiated EMI by spreading 2-MHz clock energy; enabled by leaving SS_EN floating, disabled by pulling low |
| Power-latch function (IGN_PWRL) | Allows MCU to hold IGN assertion after key-off; sustains VOUT for post-crash diagnostics or firmware upload without battery drain |
| Smart power-good with delay | PG_DLY pin sets delay from 0.5 ms to 40 ms; prevents false PG assertion during soft-start or transient recovery |
| Functional safety documentation support | TI provides FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and safety manual - enables ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480-Q1 | Single-phase 3.5-A buck-only regulator (no boost); 4-V to 36-V input; requires external boost stage for sub-input regulation | Only suitable where VIN never falls below regulated output (e.g., 12-V systems powering 5-V rails); cannot replace TPS55165QPWPRQ1 in cranking scenarios | Select LM61480-Q1 only if input stays ≥ output voltage; use TPS55165QPWPRQ1 when VIN may dip below VOUT (e.g., automotive start-stop) |
| MAX20404 | 36-V, 2.5-A buck-boost with I²C interface; adjustable output (1.8 V–12 V); no fixed 5-V/12-V option; higher IQ (25 µA) | Requires MCU configuration for voltage setting; lacks ignition wake-up (IGN) and power-latch (IGN_PWRL) pins critical for automotive ECU control | Choose MAX20404 for programmable multi-rail systems with host MCU control; retain TPS55165QPWPRQ1 for drop-in fixed-output, ignition-triggered designs |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current of the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 at 5 V with 2.3-V input?
The TPS55165QPWPRQ1 delivers 0.4 A at 5 V output when input voltage is 2.3 V - sufficient to maintain microcontroller operation and CAN communication during deep battery cranking events. This rating assumes DCR ≤ 40 mΩ inductor and proper thermal layout per TI's SLVSD46A datasheet Section 11.
How does the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 select between 5-V and 12-V output voltages?
The TPS55165QPWPRQ1 selects output voltage via the VOS_FB pin: connecting VOS_FB to GND configures 5-V output, while connecting it to VREG configures 12-V output. No external resistors are needed - this hardware-selectable dual fixed output eliminates trimming components and improves production yield.
Does the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 support spread-spectrum operation, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 supports spread-spectrum modulation to reduce EMI peaks. It is enabled by leaving the SS_EN pin floating (internal pullup active); disabling requires pulling SS_EN low. This feature is confirmed in TI's SLVSD46A datasheet Sections 1 and 5, and applies specifically to the TPS55165-Q1 variant.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 in its HTSSOP package?
The TPS55165QPWPRQ1 in HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™ achieves RθJA = 35.4°C/W. With 1-A load at 5 V and 12-V input, junction temperature rise is ~35°C above ambient - well within the 150°C max TJ limit. Full derating guidance is provided in Section 7.4 of TI's SLVSD46A datasheet.
Is the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 qualified for functional safety applications?
Yes, the TPS55165QPWPRQ1 is functional safety-capable with documentation available to aid ISO 26262 system design. It includes diagnostic features such as overtemperature shutdown (175°C–210°C), output overvoltage protection (110%–125%), and configurable power-good with delay - all specified in TI's SLVSD46A datasheet Sections 7.12 and 7.13.
