Product details
Overview
TPS61085TDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive-qualified, 2.3 V to 6 V input, 18.5 V output boost DC/DC converter with integrated 2-A, 0.13-Ω N-channel MOSFET switch, selectable 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz switching frequency, and adjustable soft-start via external capacitor. It delivers up to 600 mA at 12 V in typical automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 datasheet, TPS61085TDGKRQ1 pinout, TPS61085TDGKRQ1 application, or TPS61085TDGKRQ1 equivalent, key selection factors include its automotive-grade thermal shutdown (150°C), undervoltage lockout (2.3 V), external compensation flexibility, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained body control modules and ADAS subsystems.
Technical Context
The TPS61085TDGKRQ1 operates in current-mode control with quasi-constant frequency and adaptive OFF-time for superior line and load transient response. Its externally compensated transconductance error amplifier (gm = 107 µA/V) enables stability optimization across varying output voltages (up to 18.5 V) and load conditions.
Switching frequency selection (650 kHz or 1.2 MHz) is controlled by the FREQ pin logic level, directly impacting inductor size, efficiency trade-offs, and ripple performance. The device transitions between CCM, DCM, and pulse-skipping modes depending on load current to maintain regulation while minimizing quiescent current (70 µA typical).
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) conditions |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 18.5 V - configurable via external resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 158 kΩ, R2 = 18.2 kΩ for 12 V) |
| Switch Current Limit | 2 A minimum peak - enables ≥600 mA output at 12 V with >90% efficiency using 3.3 µH inductor |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz - determines inductor size (6.8 µH vs. 3.3 µH) and light-load efficiency vs. transient response trade-off |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.238 V ±0.008 V - high-accuracy reference enabling <±1% output voltage tolerance with proper resistor selection |
| Quiescent Current | 70 µA typical - ensures low standby power draw in always-on automotive modules |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
TPS61085TDGKRQ1 is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in automotive environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Compensation node | Output of internal transconductance error amplifier; connects to RC network (e.g., 47 kΩ + 1.6 nF) 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; pulls high to enable operation, low to enter 1 µA shutdown mode |
| 4 - PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for switch and input capacitor; must be routed separately from signal ground |
| 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 input; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass and bulk 10 µF input capacitance |
| 7 - FREQ | Frequency select | Logic-level input: connect to GND for 650 kHz, to IN for 1.2 MHz switching |
| 8 - SS | Soft-start control | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) to ramp current limit and limit inrush during startup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification | Rated for –40°C to +105°C ambient operation - validated for instrument clusters, head units, and telematics modules |
| Adjustable soft-start | Capacitor-controlled ramp of peak switch current from 0 A to full limit - prevents inrush into large output capacitors (e.g., 2 × 10 µF) |
| External compensation | Full control over loop bandwidth and phase margin - enables optimization for 9 V, 12 V, or 15 V outputs with varying load dynamics |
| Integrated 0.13-Ω MOSFET | Low RDS(on) reduces conduction loss - achieves >90% efficiency at 300–600 mA loads with 3.3 µH inductor |
| Overvoltage protection | FB pin overvoltage detection (>1.275 V) disables switching - safeguards downstream 12 V audio amplifiers or ADAS sensors |

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 temp), higher 3.5-A switch current, same 8-pin VQFN package | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and thermal shutdown hysteresis; unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical use | Use only in non-automotive industrial or consumer designs requiring >600 mA at 12 V |
| LM3478QMMX/NOPB | External MOSFET controller (no integrated switch), wider 2.5–40 V input, 1.25-MHz fixed frequency | Requires external high-side N-FET and gate driver; higher BOM count but supports >20 V outputs | Select when output >18.5 V or >2 A load required; not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with TPS61085TDGKRQ1, TPS61088RHLR offers higher current but no automotive qualification, while LM3478QMMX/NOPB provides greater output voltage flexibility at the cost of added external components and layout complexity - neither matches the integrated, AEC-Q100-compliant 2-A boost solution of the TPS61085TDGKRQ1.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the TPS61085TDGKRQ1?
The TPS61085TDGKRQ1 supports a maximum output voltage of 18.5 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and confirmed across all operating conditions in the datasheet. This limit is enforced by internal overvoltage protection that disables switching if the FB pin voltage exceeds ~1.275 V, corresponding to 18.5 V with standard resistor divider ratios. Output voltages above this value risk permanent damage and are not supported.
Does the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 require external compensation components?
Yes, the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 requires external compensation components connected to the COMP pin to ensure stable closed-loop operation. The device uses an external transconductance error amplifier configuration, where resistor and capacitor values (e.g., 47 kΩ and 1.6 nF for 12 V/1.2 MHz) must be selected based on output voltage, inductor value, and load requirements per TI's Application Report SLVSE63B.
How does the FREQ pin affect switching frequency in the TPS61085TDGKRQ1?
The FREQ pin on the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 selects between two discrete switching frequencies: connecting FREQ to GND sets 650 kHz operation, while connecting it to IN selects 1.2 MHz. This choice directly impacts inductor size (6.8 µH vs. 3.3 µH), light-load efficiency, and transient response speed - with 1.2 MHz offering faster response but slightly lower efficiency at medium loads.
What is the purpose of the SS (soft-start) pin on the TPS61085TDGKRQ1?
The SS pin on the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 controls inrush current during startup by allowing an external capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) to ramp the internal current limit from 0 A to the full 2-A peak. When EN is asserted, the SS pin charges at ~10 µA, linearly increasing the switch current limit until the output reaches 90% of target - preventing voltage droop and system resets in capacitive loads like LCD backlights.
Is the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 pin-compatible with the commercial-grade TPS61085DRCT?
No, the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 is not pin-compatible with the commercial TPS61085DRCT. While both share the same VSSOP-8 package footprint, the TPS61085TDGKRQ1 is the automotive-qualified variant with different internal protection thresholds (e.g., tighter UVLO hysteresis, enhanced ESD rating), qualified test flow, and part marking. Electrical behavior and thermal limits differ, making direct substitution unsafe without full requalification.
