Product details
Overview
TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 1 A continuous output current, fixed 1.0 V output voltage, 1.8–4 MHz adjustable switching frequency, and ±1% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode. It operates across 2.75 V to 6 V input, supports forced PWM or PFM operation, and integrates active output discharge and power-good monitoring - deployed in infotainment head units and ADAS sensor fusion ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 datasheet, TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 pinout, TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 application, or TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.0 V output, wettable-flank VQFN-9 package, spread-spectrum clocking option, precise enable with user-defined UVLO, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors down to 15 µF.
Technical Context
The TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation selectable via COMP/FSET resistor, enabling stable regulation across 15–470 µF output capacitance. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports external clock synchronization (1.8–4 MHz) or PFM/PWM mode selection, while SS/TR enables soft-start timing or voltage tracking for rail sequencing.
Designed for automotive ambient temperatures (–40°C to +125°C TA), it features integrated high-side (37–60 mΩ) and low-side (15–35 mΩ) MOSFETs, 15 µA quiescent current in light-load PFM mode, and a 100% duty-cycle capability for ultra-low dropout operation - critical for post-regulation in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports compact power rails for microcontrollers and FPGAs in space-constrained automotive modules. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0 V - eliminates external feedback resistors, reduces BOM count, and ensures consistent core supply for SoCs requiring tight tolerance. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.75 V to 6 V - compatible with 3.3 V, 5 V, and battery-backed automotive supplies including cold-crank conditions. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz - enables use of small 0.25–0.47 µH inductors and minimizes EMI in noise-sensitive infotainment and ADAS domains. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% in PWM mode - guarantees stable core voltage under dynamic load transients, meeting processor DVFS requirements without margin overhead. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical - extends battery life during vehicle sleep modes while maintaining fast wake-up response. |

Pinout & Package
The TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 is housed in a 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package (RWY) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) and reliable solder joint formation in automotive reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable input | Logic-controlled startup with 1.06–1.15 V rising threshold; supports RC-based sequencing and programmable undervoltage lockout. |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally tied to 1.0 V reference - no external resistor divider required; simplifies layout and improves noise immunity. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return path for input/output currents and control circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to thermal pad. |
| MODE/SYNC | Mode control / sync input | Selects PFM/PWM (low) or forced PWM (high); accepts external 1.8–4 MHz clock for EMI reduction and multi-converter phase alignment. |
| COMP/FSET | Compensation / frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets both switching frequency and internal loop compensation - adapts stability to output capacitor value (15–470 µF). |
| PG | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts high-Z after output reaches 95% of target; integrates window comparator for over/under-voltage fault detection. |
| SS/TR | Soft-start / tracking input | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; also accepts external voltage for coordinated rail sequencing with other converters. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to internal high/low-side MOSFETs; requires low-inductance routing to minimize switching losses and EMI. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 2.75–6 V; must be decoupled with ≥5 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive reliability and lifetime requirements without derating. |
| Active output discharge | 50 Ω internal discharge path - ensures rapid, controlled output voltage decay during shutdown, preventing back-powering of downstream logic. |
| Spread spectrum clocking (SSC) | Optional modulation of switching frequency - reduces peak EMI amplitude by spreading energy across bandwidth, easing CISPR-25 compliance. |
| 100% duty cycle mode | Enables dropout as low as 100 mV - maintains regulation during brown-out events where input falls near output voltage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6281106QWRWYRQ1 | Fixed 1.0 V output, same 1 A rating and RWY package, but lacks spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) feature. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where EMI filtering is handled externally or not required per CISPR-25 Class 5. | Select when SSC is unnecessary and BOM cost optimization is prioritized over EMI headroom. |
| TPS6281226QWRWYRQ1 | 2 A output current, identical fixed 1.0 V output, RWY package, and SSC support - higher current capability with same footprint. | Used where future-proofing for higher load or parallel operation is needed, or when sharing layout with 2 A variants in platform design. | Select when headroom for transient loads >1 A or design reuse across 1 A/2 A platforms is required. |
Compared with TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1, TPS6281106QWRWYRQ1 offers identical voltage and package but omits SSC - reducing EMI mitigation flexibility. TPS6281226QWRWYRQ1 doubles output current while retaining all features and pinout - enabling scalable power delivery without layout change.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1?
The TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 provides a fixed 1.0 V output voltage. This is achieved via internal feedback circuitry - no external resistors are required on the FB pin. The device maintains ±1% accuracy in PWM mode across temperature and load, making it ideal for powering processor cores and memory interfaces that demand tight regulation without external trimming components.
Does the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin. When a 1.8–4 MHz square wave is applied to this pin, the device locks to the external frequency within 50 µs. Synchronization requires a resistor from COMP/FSET to GND - direct tie to VIN or GND disables sync capability. This feature enables phase-aligned switching in multi-rail systems to reduce input ripple and simplify EMI filter design.
What package type does the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 use?
The TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 uses a 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks (RWY, 9-pin). This package supports automated optical inspection of solder joints and provides excellent thermal performance (RθJA = 71.1°C/W) on standard 2-layer PCBs. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a solid copper pour with ≥6 thermal vias for optimal junction temperature management in automotive environments.
Can the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 operate in 100% duty cycle mode?
Yes, the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 supports 100% duty cycle operation. This allows the output voltage to remain regulated even when the input voltage drops close to the 1.0 V output level - critical during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage may sag to ~2.75 V. In this mode, the high-side MOSFET remains continuously on, minimizing dropout and preventing system reset during transient brownouts.
Is spread-spectrum clocking enabled by default on the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1?
No, spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) is optional and disabled by default on the TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1. It is activated only when the SSC pin (not present on this variant - confirmed via Device Comparison Table) is asserted; however, TPS6281126QWRWYRQ1 includes SSC functionality internally and enables it via configuration of the MODE/SYNC pin in conjunction with specific COMP/FSET settings. Refer to Section 8.3.5 of the datasheet for register-level enable sequence and modulation depth control.
