Product details
Overview
TPS62134DRGTR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for Intel Skylake VCC(IO) rail applications, featuring DCS-Control™ architecture, 0.95 V fixed output voltage at up to 3 A load, 3–17 V input range, and 20 µA quiescent current in power-save mode. It integrates programmable soft-start, power-good signaling, and low-power mode (LPM) logic for dynamic voltage scaling in ultrabooks and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62134DRGTR datasheet, TPS62134DRGTR pinout, TPS62134DRGTR application, or TPS62134DRGTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3-mm × 3-mm VQFN-16 package with thermal pad, VID0/VID1/LPM-controlled output voltage selection, single-ended remote sense (FBS), and seamless PWM-to-PSM transition supporting high efficiency across 0.001–3 A load range.
Technical Context
The TPS62134DRGTR implements DCS-Control™ topology-combining fast transient response via AC-coupled voltage sensing with stable DC regulation through an internal error amplifier and compensated loop. Its control architecture enables immediate load-step response while maintaining ±1% output accuracy in PWM mode and ±3% in PSM mode (LPM = High).
It operates in two functional modes: fixed-frequency ~1 MHz PWM at medium/heavy loads (CCM), and frequency-scaled power-save mode (PSM) at light loads, where switching frequency decreases linearly with output current to sustain >85% efficiency down to 1 mA. Input undervoltage lockout (2.7 V typ.) and thermal shutdown (160 °C) ensure robust system-level protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 17 V - supports direct connection to 12-V rails or 1–4-cell Li-ion batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | 0.95 V (fixed) - configured by VID0=1, VID1=1, LPM=1 per Table 1; matches Intel Skylake VCC(IO) rail specification. |
| Max Output Current | 3.2 A (at VI ≥ 5 V) - sustained delivery with integrated 90 mΩ high-side and 40 mΩ low-side MOSFETs. |
| Quiescent Current | 20 µA (typ.) - enables >90% efficiency at 1 mA load, critical for standby power budgeting in portable systems. |
| Switching Frequency | ~1 MHz (PWM mode) - balances EMI, inductor size, and ceramic capacitor count; reduces to ~100 kHz at 10 mA in PSM. |
| Power-Good Threshold | 760 mV (rising), 720 mV (falling) - provides precise rail monitoring with 140 µs rise delay for reliable sequencing of downstream ICs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C (typ.), 20 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62134DRGTR is housed in a thermally enhanced 3-mm × 3-mm VQFN-16 package with exposed thermal pad (RGT). The package supports high-current routing and efficient heat dissipation when soldered to a 4-layer PCB with dedicated thermal vias to internal ground planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOS | Output voltage sense | Direct connection point for feedback loop; must be routed to output capacitor's positive terminal to minimize trace impedance errors. |
| SW | Switch node | High dv/dt node connecting internal MOSFETs to external inductor; requires short, low-inductance layout to reduce EMI and ringing. |
| PG | Power-good open-drain output | Signals valid output voltage; requires external pullup (≤10 kΩ) to ≤6 V rail; used for rail sequencing and fault detection. |
| FBS | Remote sense input | Connects directly to load supply node to compensate for IR drop in PCB traces; improves load regulation to ±0.5% at point-of-load. |
| VID0 / VID1 / LPM | Digital voltage selection inputs | Set output voltage and enable low-power mode; internal 400 kΩ pulldown ensures defined state when floating. |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control with internal pulldown; allows precise power-up timing and system-level shutdown coordination. |
| SS | Soft-start control | External capacitor sets ramp time (e.g., 1 nF → ~1.2 ms); prevents inrush current and supports monotonic startup into pre-biased rails. |
| AGND / PGND | Analog & power ground | Must be tied together and connected to exposed thermal pad; separates noise-sensitive analog circuitry from high-current return paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DCS-Control™ architecture | Combines fast transient response (<5 µs to settle after 1-A load step) with stable DC regulation using internal compensation - eliminates need for external loop components. |
| Programmable low-power mode (LPM) | LPM pin reduces output to 0 V (TPS62134A/D) or 0.7 V (TPS62134B/D); maintains system sleep states while enabling rapid wake-up without full re-start. |
| Single-ended remote sense (FBS) | Compensates for up to 50 mΩ PCB trace resistance between regulator and load, ensuring ±0.5% regulation accuracy at point-of-load under varying current. |
| Integrated soft-start (SS) | Externally adjustable ramp time prevents inrush current spikes (>3 A peak) and avoids brownout on shared input rails during cold start. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovery thermal shutdown (160 °C) and reduced current limit (1.6 A) during short-circuit events protect both IC and external FETs without requiring external circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of TPS62134DRGTR?
The TPS62134DRGTR is configured for 0.95 V output via VID0 = 1, VID1 = 1, and LPM = 1 per Table 1 in the datasheet. This matches the Intel Skylake VCC(IO) rail specification. Unlike TPS62134ARGTR (0.85 V) or TPS62134B (0.7 V LPM), the TPS62134DRGTR uses this specific VID combination to deliver stable 0.95 V without external resistor dividers.
Does TPS62134DRGTR support remote sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, TPS62134DRGTR supports single-ended remote sensing via the FBS pin. To implement it, connect the FBS trace directly to the load's supply node - not the output capacitor - to compensate for PCB trace resistance. This improves load regulation accuracy to ±0.5% at point-of-load, critical for high-current digital I/O rails where IR drop would otherwise cause functional failures.
What protection features does TPS62134DRGTR include?
The TPS62134DRGTR integrates undervoltage lockout (2.7 V threshold), thermal shutdown (160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis), short-circuit protection (reduced 1.6 A current limit when VO < 0.3 V), and output discharge via internal 20-kΩ resistor. These features operate autonomously without external components, ensuring robust operation in unattended embedded systems and consumer notebooks.
Can TPS62134DRGTR operate with a pre-biased output?
Yes, TPS62134DRGTR supports monotonic startup into a pre-biased output. During such startup, both internal MOSFETs remain off until the internal soft-start ramp exceeds the existing output voltage, preventing reverse current flow and ensuring controlled voltage ramp-up. This capability is essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications where other rails may already be active.
What is the thermal performance of TPS62134DRGTR in a standard PCB layout?
In a typical 4-layer PCB with 2 oz copper, thermal vias under the exposed pad, and 1-in² copper area, TPS62134DRGTR achieves a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 16.6 °C/W. At 3.2 A output and 12 V input, this allows continuous operation up to +125 °C ambient without derating - verified per JEDEC JESD51-7 test conditions and documented in Section 7.4 of the datasheet.
