Product details
Overview
TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive-qualified, high-efficiency DC/DC boost converter with integrated 2-A, 0.13-Ω N-channel MOSFET switch, 2.3 V to 6 V input range, 18.5 V maximum output voltage, and selectable 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz switching frequency. It delivers up to 300 mA at 12 V in typical automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 datasheet, TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 pinout, TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 application, or TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable soft-start via external capacitor, external compensation for stability optimization, thermal shutdown (150°C), undervoltage lockout (2.3 V), and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 operates in current-mode control with quasi-constant frequency and adaptive OFF-time for superior line and load transient response. Its external compensation network (COMP pin) enables precise loop tuning across varying output voltages and inductor values.
Switching frequency is selected via FREQ pin logic level: grounded for 650 kHz (higher efficiency, larger inductors) or tied to IN for 1.2 MHz (faster transients, smaller magnetics). Soft-start is implemented by charging an external capacitor on SS pin at 10 µA, ramping peak switch current from 0 A to full 2-A limit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 6 V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (≥2.3 V) and post-ignition (≤6 V) |
| Max Output Voltage | 18.5 V - powers audio amplifiers, display bias, and sensor excitation requiring >12 V rails |
| Switch Current Limit | 2 A min - enables ≥300 mA at 12 V output with margin for transient loads |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz - allows trade-off between efficiency (650 kHz) and component size/transient response (1.2 MHz) |
| Feedback Reference | 1.238 V ±0.8% - sets output voltage accuracy via resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 158 kΩ, R2 = 18.2 kΩ for 12 V) |
| Quiescent Current | 70–100 µA - minimizes standby power draw in always-on automotive modules |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 14°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed ECUs |
Pinout & Package
TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 uses an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin pitch is 0.65 mm; recommended solder profile per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Compensation node | Output of internal transconductance error amplifier; connects to RC network for loop stability tuning |
| 2 - FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output to 1.238 V reference |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; tie to IN or microcontroller GPIO to power-cycle converter |
| 4 - PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for switch and input capacitor; must be low-inductance plane |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drives external Schottky diode (e.g., PMEG2010AEH); carries pulsed 2-A peak current |
| 6 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 2.3–6 V; requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass + bulk 10-µF input capacitance |
| 7 - FREQ | Frequency select | GND = 650 kHz; connect to IN = 1.2 MHz - no pull-up/down required |
| 8 - SS | Soft-start control | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) to linearly ramp current limit and suppress inrush |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification | Rated for –40°C to +105°C ambient operation - validated for instrument clusters and body control modules |
| Adjustable soft-start | External capacitor on SS pin controls startup current ramp rate - prevents input rail collapse during ECU power-up |
| External compensation | COMP pin allows full loop gain/phase tuning - accommodates diverse output capacitors, inductors, and load profiles |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and resumes at ~136°C - avoids thermal cycling in thermally constrained enclosures |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Disables operation below 2.3 V input - prevents erratic behavior during battery brownout or cranking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Non-automotive grade (commercial), same 2-A switch, but higher 12-V max output; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and UVLO hysteresis | Not suitable for safety-critical or under-hood automotive use; acceptable for industrial or consumer portable devices | Select only if AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary and cost is primary driver |
| LM3478MMX/NOPB | External MOSFET controller (no integrated switch), wider 2.5–40 V input, but requires discrete 2-A FET and gate driver design | Offers higher flexibility for custom thermal/power layout but increases BOM count and design validation effort | Prefer when >18.5 V output or >2-A continuous current is needed, or when thermal separation is critical |
Compared with TPS61085ATDGKTQ1, TPS61088RHLR provides identical boost functionality without automotive qualification or thermal/UVLO safeguards, while LM3478MMX/NOPB shifts complexity to external components but enables higher voltage/current scalability.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 at 12 V output?
The TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 delivers up to 300 mA at 12 V output when operating from a 3.3 V input at 1.2 MHz with typical efficiency (~90%). This assumes proper thermal design, 6.8-µH inductor (for 650 kHz) or 3.3-µH (for 1.2 MHz), and adequate input/output capacitance. Peak switch current remains within the 2-A minimum limit under these conditions.
How does the FREQ pin selection affect efficiency and component size in TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 designs?
Setting FREQ = GND selects 650 kHz operation, yielding higher efficiency (e.g., ~92% at 300 mA) and permitting larger, lower-DCR inductors (e.g., 6.8 µH). Setting FREQ = IN selects 1.2 MHz, reducing inductor size (e.g., 3.3 µH) and output ripple but lowering peak efficiency by ~1–2% due to increased switching losses - ideal for space-constrained layouts.
Can the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 be used with ceramic output capacitors only, and what is the recommended value?
Yes, the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 is optimized for low-ESR ceramic output capacitors. TI recommends two 10-µF/25-V X7R/X5R ceramics (e.g., Taiyo Yuden TMK316BJ106KL) in parallel, or one 22-µF unit. Total effective capacitance must remain ≥20 µF after DC bias derating to ensure stable regulation and ≤100-mV load transient deviation.
What is the purpose of the SS (soft-start) pin on the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1, and how is it configured?
The SS pin on the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 controls inrush current during startup by linearly ramping the internal current limit from 0 A to full 2-A over time. A capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) is connected from SS to GND; charging at 10 µA sets soft-start duration. Open-circuit disables soft-start. The pin discharges to GND when EN is low.
Does the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 require an external Schottky diode, and what are the key selection criteria?
Yes, the TPS61085ATDGKTQ1 requires an external Schottky diode (e.g., PMEG2010AEH). Key criteria: reverse voltage rating >18.5 V, average forward current ≥ output current (e.g., ≥300 mA), forward voltage <0.5 V at rated current, and SOD-123 or similar low-inductance package. Diode power dissipation must be verified per PD = IOUT × VF.
