Product details
Overview
TPS61088QRHLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified synchronous boost converter IC designed for high-power post-regulation in safety-critical vehicle subsystems. It delivers up to 10-A switch current, supports 2.7–12-V input and 4.5–12.6-V output, achieves >90% efficiency at 5-VIN/9-VOUT/3-A, and integrates adaptive constant off-time peak-current control for fast transient response in E-call speaker drive and power-over-coax applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61088QRHLRQ1 datasheet, TPS61088QRHLRQ1 pinout, TPS61088QRHLRQ1 application, or TPS61088QRHLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable 200-kHz–2.2-MHz switching frequency, resistor-adjustable 7.2–13.0-A peak current limit, 1-µA shutdown current, 13.2-V overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown at 150°C - all validated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The TPS61088QRHLRQ1 implements adaptive constant off-time peak-current control with quasi-constant-frequency PWM operation under moderate-to-heavy loads and dual-mode light-load behavior (PFM for efficiency, forced PWM for noise control). Its internal 21.3-mΩ high-side and 24.4-mΩ low-side MOSFETs enable high-power density conversion without external switches.
It features fully integrated loop compensation via external RC network on COMP, programmable soft-start via SS pin capacitor, and independent UVLO thresholds for VIN (2.4 V falling) and VCC (2.1 V falling). Protection includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent, output overvoltage clamping at 13.2 V, and thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - supports single/dual Li-ion backup battery and automotive 3.3-V/5-V rails as input sources. |

Pinout & Package
TPS61088QRHLRQ1 uses a thermally enhanced 4.50-mm × 3.50-mm 20-pin VQFN package (RHL) with exposed thermal pad for automotive-grade power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input supply | Accepts 2.7–12-V source; connects to input capacitor bank and internal LDO input. |
| EN | Enable logic input | Active-high control: ≥1.2 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V forces 1-µA shutdown state. |
| FB | Voltage feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; sets VOUT = 1.204 V × (1 + R1/R2) with ±1.5% reference accuracy. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects external RC compensation network to stabilize loop dynamics across load/transient conditions. |
| ILIM | Peak current limit programming | Resistor to AGND sets switch current limit: 49.9 kΩ yields 11.4 A (PFM) or 8.7 A (FPWM). |
| MODE | Light-load operation mode select | Floating = PFM (high efficiency); grounded = forced PWM (fixed frequency, no acoustic noise). |
| SS | Soft-start timing control | Capacitor to AGND sets ramp time: tSS = 1.204 V × CSS / 5 µA; prevents inrush current at startup. |
| SW | Internal switching node | Drain of low-side MOSFET / source of high-side MOSFET; connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor. |
| BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW provides floating bias for high-side N-MOSFET gate. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 12.6 V; pins 14–16 are paralleled for low-impedance high-current output path. |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Signal ground for FB, COMP, ILIM, MODE, SS; must be separated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Source of low-side MOSFET; connects to input/output capacitors and inductor ground; ties to thermal pad. |
| VCC | Internal LDO output | 5.8-V regulated supply for gate drivers and control circuitry; requires ≥1-µF ceramic capacitor to AGND. |
| FSW | Frequency setting input | Resistor to SW pin programs switching frequency: 301 kΩ = 500 kHz, 53.6 kΩ = 2 MHz. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Pins 11 and 12 are internally unconnected; recommended to tie to PCB ground plane for thermal relief. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRNTRQ1 | Lower 8-A switch current; fixed 2.1-MHz frequency; no PFM mode; requires external MOSFETs. | Better suited for space-constrained 5-V→12-V fixed-frequency designs where acoustic noise is not critical. | Select when board area is tighter than 4.5×3.5 mm and 10-A peak current is not required. |
| TPS61282DRCTQ1 | 6-A switch current; 2.5-V–5.5-V input only; 4.5-V–5.5-V output; smaller 3×3-mm QFN package. | Targeted at 3.3-V→5-V post-regulation for CAN/LIN transceivers, not high-voltage PoC or E-call. | Choose for cost-sensitive 5-V rail generation where 10-A capability and 12.6-V output are unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the TPS61088QRHLRQ1?
The TPS61088QRHLRQ1 supports a maximum regulated output voltage of 12.6 V, as specified in its recommended operating conditions and confirmed by its 13.2-V overvoltage protection threshold. This enables direct powering of 12-V audio amplifiers, PoC camera modules, and A2B slave devices without additional regulation stages. The output is set via external resistor divider on the FB pin, with VREF = 1.204 V ±1.5%.
How does the MODE pin affect light-load efficiency in the TPS61088QRHLRQ1?
In the TPS61088QRHLRQ1, the MODE pin selects between two light-load behaviors: when left floating, the device enters PFM mode, achieving >80% efficiency down to 1-mA load by reducing switching frequency; when pulled to ground, it operates in forced PWM mode with fixed frequency to eliminate audible noise. This dual-mode flexibility allows system designers to optimize for either battery life or acoustic performance depending on application requirements.
Can the TPS61088QRHLRQ1 operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, the TPS61088QRHLRQ1 is explicitly designed for cold-crank operation: its 2.7-V minimum input voltage and 10-A switch current allow sustained 11-V output at 2-A load even when input drops to 3.5 V. Combined with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C), this ensures reliable E-call functionality during engine start-up when battery voltage sags below 6 V.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the TPS61088QRHLRQ1?
The ILIM pin on the TPS61088QRHLRQ1 allows resistor-programmable peak switch current limiting - a critical safety feature for automotive applications. Connecting a resistor between ILIM and AGND sets the current limit: 49.9 kΩ yields 11.4 A in PFM mode or 8.7 A in forced PWM mode. This protects the IC and external components during overload, short-circuit, or inductor saturation events while maintaining design flexibility across varying power requirements.
Does the TPS61088QRHLRQ1 require external MOSFETs?
No, the TPS61088QRHLRQ1 is a fully-integrated synchronous boost converter with internal 21.3-mΩ high-side and 24.4-mΩ low-side N-channel MOSFETs. No external power switches are needed - only passive components (inductor, input/output capacitors, feedback resistors, soft-start capacitor, and frequency/ILIM resistors) are required for complete operation. This integration reduces solution size, improves efficiency, and simplifies layout for automotive modules.
