Product details
Overview
TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 4 A continuous output current with fixed 1.1 V output voltage, 1.8–4 MHz adjustable switching frequency, ±1% feedback voltage accuracy in PWM mode, and operation across 2.75 V to 6 V input range. It serves as the primary power rail for ADAS sensor fusion ECUs requiring high efficiency, precise sequencing, and robust thermal performance at +125°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 datasheet, TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 pinout, TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 application, or TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4 A output capability, fixed 1.1 V output with 1% accuracy, wettable-flank VQFN-9 package, active output discharge, and functional safety documentation support for ISO 26262-compliant systems.
Technical Context
The TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internally compensated loop architecture and three selectable compensation settings-configured via resistor on COMP/FSET-to match output capacitance (27–470 µF) and optimize transient response. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports both forced PWM and automatic PFM/PWM transition, plus external synchronization from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz with <50 µs lock time.
It integrates low-RDS(on) MOSFETs (HS: 37–60 mΩ, LS: 15–35 mΩ at VIN ≥ 5 V), 100% duty cycle capability, precise ENABLE with 1.1 V rising threshold and 100 mV hysteresis, and a dedicated SS/TR pin enabling soft-start ramp control or voltage tracking for multi-rail sequencing in infotainment and cluster applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 4 A continuous - supports high-power SoCs and FPGAs in ADAS domain controllers without derating at +125°C ambient. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.1 V ±1% (PWM mode) - eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures stable core supply for 1.1 V logic rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.75 V to 6 V - compatible with 3.3 V, 5 V, and automotive battery-supplied rails including cold-crank transients down to 2.75 V. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz (adjustable) - enables compact magnetics and EMI filtering while avoiding AM band; supports external sync for multi-converter phase alignment. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical - maintains ultra-low standby power in always-on telematics modules without compromising wake-up responsiveness. |
| Thermal Performance | RθJA = 71.1°C/W (VQFN-9) - sustains full 4 A load at +125°C ambient when using 2-layer PCB with thermal vias under exposed pad. |
| Power-Good Output | Open-drain PG with window comparator (±5% UVP/OVP) - provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault detection for downstream processors. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 is housed in a 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks (RWY, 9-pin), optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-reliability automotive solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MODE/SYNC | Digital control input | Selects PFM/PWM auto-mode (low) or forced PWM (high); accepts external 1.8–4 MHz clock for synchronization without passive components. |
| 2 - VIN | Power input | Main supply input (2.75–6 V); requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for high-frequency decoupling. |
| 3 - SW | Power switch node | Internal high-side/low-side MOSFET connection point; drives external inductor and must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary power ground; connects directly to thermal pad and must be tied to solid internal ground plane for thermal and noise integrity. |
| 5 - FB | Voltage feedback | Internally connected to 1.1 V reference; no external divider required - simplifies layout and improves accuracy vs adjustable versions. |
| 6 - SS/TR | Soft-start/tracking | Capacitor-to-ground sets startup ramp time; also accepts external voltage for rail tracking during power-up sequencing of multiple supplies. |
| 7 - COMP/FSET | Compensation/frequency set | Resistor-to-ground selects both control-loop compensation and switching frequency (1.8–4 MHz); tied to GND/VIN for fixed 2.25 MHz. |
| 8 - EN | Enable control | Logic-level input with 1.1 V rising threshold; enables user-defined UVLO and precise power-up timing via RC network. |
| 9 - PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within ±5% of 1.1 V; used for processor reset assertion or system enable handshaking. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1?
The TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 delivers a fixed 1.1 V output voltage with ±1% accuracy in PWM mode across temperature and line conditions. This eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and ensures stable core supply for automotive processors requiring precisely regulated 1.1 V rails. The FB pin is internally connected to the 1.1 V reference and must be tied directly to the output.
Does the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 support external synchronization?
Yes, the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin across 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz. Synchronization requires a resistor from COMP/FSET to GND to enable PLL functionality; if COMP/FSET is tied directly to GND or VIN, external sync is disabled. Lock time to external clock is typically 50 µs.
What package type does the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 use?
The TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 uses a 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks (RWY, 9-pin). This package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints and provides low thermal resistance (RθJA = 71.1°C/W) for high-power automotive applications operating up to +125°C ambient.
How does the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 handle light-load efficiency?
The TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 automatically transitions between PFM and PWM modes based on load: it operates in PFM at light loads to maintain >90% efficiency down to 100 µA, then seamlessly switches to fixed-frequency PWM above ~10 mA. This preserves high efficiency across the full 0–4 A load range without requiring manual mode selection.
Is the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPS6281008QWRWYRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C ambient), includes functional safety documentation for ISO 26262 system design, and features wettable flanks for enhanced solder joint reliability in automotive manufacturing environments.
