Product details
Overview
TPS57140QDRCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified 42-V, 1.5-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated 200-mΩ high-side MOSFET, Eco-mode™ pulse-skipping control, and 116-μA no-load quiescent current - designed for infotainment power rails in 12-V/24-V vehicle systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 datasheet, TPS57140QDRCRQ1 pinout, TPS57140QDRCRQ1 application, or TPS57140QDRCRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.5–42 V), adjustable switching frequency (100 kHz–2.5 MHz), power-good monitoring (92–109% VSENSE window), thermal shutdown (182°C), and VSON-10 package compatibility with automotive PCB layout constraints.
Technical Context
The TPS57140QDRCRQ1 implements constant-frequency peak-current-mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation across full duty-cycle range. Its Eco-mode™ enables pulse-skipping at light loads while maintaining regulation via a 0.8-V internal reference and transconductance error amplifier (97 μ℧ typical).
It integrates boot UVLO protection (2.1 V BOOT–PH threshold), frequency foldback during overload, and programmable undervoltage lockout via EN pin resistive divider. The open-drain PWRGD output asserts low when VSENSE falls below 92% or exceeds 109% of nominal, supporting system-level power sequencing and fault detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 42 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank (≥4.5 V) and load-dump (≤42 V) conditions. |
| Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - sufficient for powering DSPs, FPGAs, and display controllers in ADAS and infotainment modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 2.5 MHz - enables optimization of inductor size and efficiency; RT/CLK pin supports external clock synchronization. |
| Quiescent Current | 116 μA (operating, no load) - extends battery life in always-on automotive subsystems such as telematics and camera modules. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.792 V to 0.808 V (±1%) - ensures precise output regulation accuracy for sensitive analog and digital loads. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 200 mΩ @ VIN = 12 V, BOOT–PH = 6 V - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress in compact VSON-10 footprint. |
| Power-Good Threshold | 92% to 109% of VSENSE - provides robust startup validation and overvoltage fault detection without external comparators. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 182°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed automotive enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS57140QDRCRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin VSON package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. This package delivers RθJB = 20.6°C/W and supports high-power-density automotive layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply node | Connects to external 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and PH; supplies gate drive for integrated high-side MOSFET. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.5–42 V; powers internal circuitry and high-side driver; requires ≥3 μF local input capacitance. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return path; must be electrically tied to exposed thermal pad for thermal and electrical performance. |
| PH | Switch node | Source of internal high-side MOSFET; connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| VSENSE | Feedback input | Inverting input of transconductance error amplifier; used with external resistor divider to set output voltage (min 0.8 V). |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives current-mode PWM comparator; connects to RC compensation network for loop stability. |
| EN | Enable / UVLO control | Pull ≤1.2 V to disable; internal pullup allows resistor-divider adjustment of input UVLO threshold and hysteresis. |
| RT/CLK | Frequency setting / sync input | Resistor-to-ground sets fSW; external clock edges above 1.9 V trigger PLL sync mode for EMI reduction. |
| SS/TR | Slow-start / tracking | Capacitor sets soft-start time; voltage override enables power sequencing or voltage tracking with other rails. |
| PWRGD | Open-drain power-good | Asserts low if output deviates >8% below or >9% above nominal; requires external pullup for system reset signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Eco-mode™ pulse-skipping | Reduces no-load current to 116 μA while maintaining regulation - critical for low-power standby modes in automotive ECUs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS57140QDRCRQ1?
The TPS57140QDRCRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 47 V on the VIN pin, with recommended operating range from 3.5 V to 42 V. This allows direct connection to automotive battery systems, including transient conditions like load dump (≤42 V) and cold-crank (≥4.5 V). Operation beyond 42 V is not recommended for sustained use per datasheet specifications.
Does the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the RT/CLK pin. When driven above 1.9 V with a clean clock signal, the internal PLL engages and synchronizes switching to the external clock edge. This feature reduces EMI in noise-sensitive automotive applications and enables multi-rail phase alignment without additional timing circuitry.
How does the Eco-mode™ function work in the TPS57140QDRCRQ1?
Eco-mode™ in the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 enables pulse-skipping at light loads to maintain regulation while reducing switching losses. It activates automatically when load current drops below ~100 mA, lowering quiescent current to 116 μA. The device resumes fixed-frequency PWM when load increases, ensuring seamless transition without output voltage disturbance or audible noise.
What is the purpose of the SS/TR pin on the TPS57140QDRCRQ1?
The SS/TR pin on the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 serves dual functions: slow-start and tracking. Connecting a capacitor sets output voltage ramp time to limit inrush current; applying an external voltage enables tracking of another power rail during startup. During faults, the pin discharges to ensure repeatable restart behavior - critical for automotive systems requiring deterministic power-up sequences.
Is the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS571xx-Q1 family?
No, the TPS57140QDRCRQ1 is not pin-compatible with other TPS571xx-Q1 variants such as TPS57160QDRCRQ1 or TPS57180QDRCRQ1. While all share the same VSON-10 (DRC) package outline, pin functions differ - notably COMP, SS/TR, and RT/CLK assignments vary across the family. Always verify pin mapping using the specific device's datasheet before board reuse.
