Product details
Overview
TPS55165QPWPTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified synchronous buck-boost DC-DC converter for automotive power systems, delivering fixed 5-V or 12-V output at up to 1-A load (VIN ≥ 5.3 V), operating across 2-V to 36-V input, and featuring 2-MHz fixed-frequency PWM control with automatic mode transition between step-down and step-up.
For engineers reviewing the TPS55165QPWPTQ1 datasheet, TPS55165QPWPTQ1 pinout, TPS55165QPWPTQ1 application, or TPS55165QPWPTQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and ESD specifications, and real-world implementation constraints including IGN wake-up thresholds, low-power mode quiescent current (<15 µA), and PG delay configurability.
Technical Context
The TPS55165QPWPTQ1 implements a single-inductor, four-switch synchronous buck-boost topology with overlap control that enables seamless, loss-minimized transitions between buck and boost modes as input voltage crosses the output setpoint. Its internal gate drivers support 2-MHz switching with integrated bootstrap circuits (BST1/L1 and BST2/L2) and quiet VREG_Q feedback for stable high-side FET biasing.
It integrates functional safety support via documentation for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration, includes dual-level overvoltage protection (input OVLO at 36–40 V and output OVP at 110–125% of nominal), and features programmable power-good assertion with resistor-configurable delay (0.5–40 ms via PG_DLY) and latch-enabled ignition wake-up (IGN/IGN_PWRL) for start-stop battery profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2 V to 36 V (for 5-V output); supports cold-crank (2.3 V) and load-dump (36 V) automotive transients |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V or 12 V (selected by VOS_FB pin connection to GND or VREG); ±2% tolerance over temp/load |
| Max Output Current | 1 A at VIN ≥ 5.3 V / VOUT = 5 V; 800 mA at VIN ≥ 14 V / VOUT = 12 V; maintains regulation down to 150 mA at VIN = 4 V |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz (fixed, forced PWM); enables use of compact 4.7-µH inductor and reduces EMI fundamental frequency |
| Quiescent Current | <15 µA in low-power mode (PS = high); supports <100-µA system standby requirements for infotainment modules |
| Shutdown Current | <3 µA (VIN = 12 V); minimizes battery drain during vehicle off-state |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 35.4°C/W (HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD™); requires thermal pad soldered to PGND for safe 1-A operation at TA = 125°C |
Pinout & Package
TPS55165QPWPTQ1 is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad requiring solder connection to PGND for thermal management and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power ground reference | Main return path for high-current switch nodes (L1/L2) and output capacitor; must be low-impedance plane under thermal pad |
| L1 (Pin 2) & L2 (Pin 20) | Buck and boost switch nodes | Connect ends of single 4.7-µH inductor; define buck (L1–VINP) and boost (L2–VOUT) power paths; require tight layout to minimize ringing |
| BST1 (Pin 3) & BST2 (Pin 19) | Bootstrap supplies | Drive high-side FET gates; each requires dedicated 100-nF ceramic capacitor to respective switch node (L1/L2) |
| VINP (Pin 4) & VINL (Pin 5) | Main and bias input supplies | VINP handles full input current; VINL powers internal bias circuitry - both connect to same battery rail but need separate 10-µF input caps |
| VOS_FB (Pin 14) | Output voltage selection | GND = 5 V output; VREG = 12 V output; no external resistor divider needed - eliminates feedback network error sources |
| PG_DLY (Pin 10) | Power-good delay configuration | Resistor (10 kΩ–100 kΩ) sets PG assertion delay from 0.5 ms to 40 ms; open = default 2-ms delay; critical for MCU reset timing coordination |
| IGN (Pin 6) & IGN_PWRL (Pin 8) | Ignition wake-up and latch control | IGN high (>3.1 V) wakes device; IGN_PWRL high latches IGN state - enables microcontroller-controlled power retention during cranking |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost mode transition | Eliminates output discontinuity and efficiency dip when VIN crosses VOUT; no external control logic required |
| Selectably enabled spread spectrum (SS_EN) | Reduces peak radiated EMI by >10 dB at 2-MHz fundamental; disabled by pulling SS_EN low (default enabled when open) |
| Smart power-good with configurable delay | Open-drain PG pin asserts only after output settles within ±5% tolerance; delay prevents false resets during startup transients |
| Low-power mode with sub-15-µA IQ | Enables always-on ECU subsystems (e.g., CAN listen mode) while meeting OEM 100-µA total-system standby limits |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2-kV, CDM ±500-V - suitable for under-hood and infotainment applications |
Applications
| Infotainment Power Supply | Body Control Module (BCM) |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Step-up regulator generating stable 5-V rail from single-cell or two-cell inputs below 5 V. Use Value: Delivers 400 mA at VIN = 2.3 V - sufficient for low-power telemetry during deep discharge; shutdown current <3 µA preserves pack energy. |
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 | 3.5-V to 36-V input; adjustable 1-V to 18-V output; 3.5-A max; no fixed 5/12-V option; no IGN wake-up | Requires external feedback resistors; better for high-current, programmable-rail designs; lacks automotive ignition interface | Choose LM61480-Q1 when >1-A output or adjustable VOUT is required; avoid if fixed 5/12-V and cranking-aware wake-up are mandatory. |
| MAX20012AATP/V+T | 3.5-V to 36-V input; fixed 5-V output; 2.5-A max; 2.1-MHz switching; integrated MOSFETs; no spread spectrum | Higher current capability; smaller 16-pin TQFN; lacks PG delay config and VOS_FB-based voltage selection | Choose MAX20012AATP/V+T for space-constrained, high-current 5-V apps where PG timing flexibility and dual-output selection are not needed. |
Compared with LM61480-Q1 and MAX20012AATP/V+T, TPS55165QPWPTQ1 uniquely combines fixed 5/12-V selection via VOS_FB, cranking-tolerant 2-V startup, ignition-latch wake-up, and resistor-programmable PG delay - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, functionally focused automotive modules requiring minimal external components and precise power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS55165QPWPTQ1 to start up and regulate 5 V?
The TPS55165QPWPTQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 5.3 V at VINP/VINL to initiate startup and deliver regulated 5-V output with 400-mA load and 22-µF output capacitance. Below this threshold, the device remains in undervoltage lockout (UVLO) until VIN rises above 2 V (typical UVLO release point), but full regulation is not achieved until VIN ≥ 5.3 V. This ensures robust operation during battery cranking events.
How does TPS55165QPWPTQ1 select between 5-V and 12-V output configurations?
The TPS55165QPWPTQ1 selects output voltage using the VOS_FB pin (Pin 14): connecting VOS_FB directly to GND sets VOUT to 5 V (±2%), while connecting VOS_FB to VREG (Pin 12) sets VOUT to 12 V (±2%). No external resistors are needed - this hardware-selectable dual-output capability simplifies design and improves accuracy versus resistor-divider-based adjustable regulators.
Can TPS55165QPWPTQ1 operate in low-power mode while maintaining 1-A output capability?
No. In low-power mode (PS pin = high), the TPS55165QPWPTQ1 reduces switching activity to achieve <15-µA quiescent current, but output current capability is limited to 50 mA (per datasheet Section 7.8, parameter IOUT_PS). Full 1-A output is only available in normal mode (PS = low), where the device operates in continuous 2-MHz PWM. Low-power mode is intended for standby, not active regulation.
What is the purpose of the IGN_PWRL pin on TPS55165QPWPTQ1, and how is it used?
The IGN_PWRL pin (Pin 8) enables power-latch functionality: when driven high, it latches the IGN pin state so that the device remains enabled even if IGN drops momentarily (e.g., during engine cranking dips). This prevents unintended shutdown during transient battery sags. The latch is cleared only when IGN falls below its power-down threshold (~2.1 V) while IGN_PWRL is low.
Does TPS55165QPWPTQ1 include overtemperature protection, and what is its trip point?
Yes. The TPS55165QPWPTQ1 includes overtemperature shutdown protection with a typical trip threshold of 192.5°C (range: 175–210°C) and hysteresis of 30°C. When junction temperature exceeds the threshold, the device disables switching and holds VOUT in regulation until temperature falls below (trip point – 30°C), then resumes normal operation. This protects against thermal runaway in sealed enclosures or high-ambient conditions.
