Product details
Overview
TPS62400QDRCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified dual synchronous step-down DC-DC converter for automotive infotainment and ADAS systems. It delivers 400 mA from Channel 1 and 600 mA from Channel 2, operates from 2.5 V to 6 V input, supports adjustable output voltages (0.6 V to VIN), and features 2.25-MHz fixed-frequency PWM with 180° out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 datasheet, TPS62400QDRCRQ1 pinout, TPS62400QDRCRQ1 application, or TPS62400QDRCRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail dynamic voltage scaling capability via EasyScale™ interface, ±1% output accuracy in PWM mode, 32-μA typical quiescent current for both converters, and thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The TPS62400QDRCRQ1 integrates two independent voltage-mode synchronous buck controllers with input-voltage feedforward, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation using small ceramic capacitors. Each channel includes P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with integrated current limiting (0.68–0.92 A for CH1, 0.85–1.15 A for CH2) and supports soft-start via EN1/EN2 enable sequencing.
It implements automatic power-save mode (PFM) at light loads while maintaining fixed 2.25-MHz PWM under heavy load or when MODE/DATA is pulled high. The 180° phase shift between SW1 and SW2 reduces RMS input current, and the internal 600-mV reference enables precise output setting via external resistor dividers on DEF_1 and ADJ2 pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank down to 2.5 V) and 3.3-V/5-V rails |
| Output Current | 400 mA (CH1), 600 mA (CH2) - sufficient for dual-core MCU cores or sensor clusters with independent rail control |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz (typical) - enables use of compact 2.2-μH inductors and avoids AM radio band interference |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% in PWM mode - ensures tight voltage tolerance for sensitive processor I/O and memory interfaces |
| Quiescent Current | 32 μA (both converters, no load, PFM mode) - extends battery runtime in always-on automotive modules |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±750 V (corner pins) - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for harsh automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
VSON-10 (DRC) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size with exposed thermal pad connected to GND for enhanced thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 2.5–6 V supply; requires local 10-μF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| EN1 / EN2 | Channel enable inputs | Active-high logic; independent startup control and fault isolation per channel |
| MODE/DATA | Mode select / serial interface | Low = auto PFM/PWM transition; High = forced PWM; also serves as open-drain EasyScale™ data line |
| DEF_1 | CH1 output voltage selector | Analog input for adjustable version: sets VOUT1 via external resistor divider (0.6 V to VIN) |
| ADJ2 | CH2 output voltage adjust | Analog input for adjustable version: sets VOUT2 via external resistor divider (0.6 V to VIN); requires 33-pF feedforward cap |
| FB1 | CH1 feedback sense | Direct connection to VOUT1; closes regulation loop using internal 600-mV reference |
| SW1 / SW2 | Power switch nodes | Connect to respective 2.2-μH inductors; require low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (2 × 10 μF typical) |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for both converters; must be tied to exposed thermal pad for thermal and EMI integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62402QDRCRQ1 | Fixed 1.2 V / 1.8 V on CH1, fixed 3.3 V on CH2 - no external resistors needed; lacks full adjustability | Best for cost-sensitive designs where output voltages are static and known at BOM freeze | Select when eliminating resistor networks and trimming time outweighs need for post-production voltage tuning |
| LM63625QWRNQRQ1 | Single 2.5-A buck with external compensation; no dual output or EasyScale™ interface; higher peak current | Suitable only if single-rail high-current supply suffices, or second rail can be generated separately | Choose only if system architecture permits splitting rails across two ICs or if >600 mA per rail is required |
Compared with TPS62402QDRCRQ1, the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 offers full output adjustability but requires external resistors and layout care; versus LM63625QWRNQRQ1, it provides integrated dual-rail functionality and dynamic scaling at lower total solution size, despite lower per-channel current rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the TPS62400QDRCRQ1?
The TPS62400QDRCRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 7 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 6 V. Operation above 6 V is not supported for continuous use and may compromise reliability or violate AEC-Q100 stress conditions. The device includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables operation below 2.35 V (rising) to prevent unstable startup.
Does the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 support dynamic voltage scaling during operation?
Yes, the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 supports real-time dynamic voltage scaling via its EasyScale™ one-wire serial interface on the MODE/DATA pin. This allows software-controlled adjustment of both output voltages while the device is enabled - for example, lowering VOUT1 from 1.2 V to 0.9 V during CPU idle states - without requiring external DACs or additional communication buses.
What is the purpose of the ADJ2 pin on the TPS62400QDRCRQ1?
The ADJ2 pin on the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 is the feedback adjust input for Channel 2. In the adjustable version, it accepts an external resistor divider to set VOUT2 anywhere from 0.6 V to VIN. It also requires a 33-pF feedforward capacitor for stability. When using EasyScale™, ADJ2 must be directly connected to VOUT2 with no external resistors - the internal DAC then controls regulation.
How does the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 manage thermal performance in automotive environments?
The TPS62400QDRCRQ1 incorporates thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis and is packaged in a thermally enhanced VSON-10 (DRC) with an exposed GND pad. Its junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) is 18.1°C/W, enabling effective heat transfer to the PCB. For sustained 400/600-mA loads at 125°C ambient, a 2-in² 2-oz copper pour under the thermal pad is recommended per TI layout guidelines.
Can the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the TPS62400QDRCRQ1 supports independent channel operation: EN1 controls Channel 1 and EN2 controls Channel 2. Either channel can be disabled (ENx = low) while the other remains active. When only one channel operates, quiescent current drops to 19–29 μA (typical), and the enabled channel maintains full regulation, efficiency, and EasyScale™ functionality without cross-talk or instability.
