Product details
Overview
TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 2 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-designed for infotainment head units and ADAS sensor fusion ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 datasheet, TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 pinout, TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 application, or TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.0 V output, wettable-flank VQFN-9 package, AEC-Q100 qualification, functional safety documentation support, and precise enable with user-defined UVLO and sequencing capability.
Technical Context
The TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation selectable via resistor on COMP/FSET, enabling stable regulation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 15 µF. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports external clock synchronization (1.8–4 MHz) or logic-controlled PFM/PWM mode selection.
It features a dedicated SS/TR pin for soft-start timing or voltage tracking, precise EN threshold (1.06–1.15 V rising), and integrated power-good window comparator (±5% VFB thresholds). The device enters 100% duty cycle mode under low-input conditions and provides active output discharge through a 50 Ω internal path.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6281208QWRWYRQ1 | Fixed 1.1 V output; identical 2 A rating, package, and feature set | Suitable for 1.1 V FPGA I/O banks or specific PMIC companion rails | Select when system requires 1.1 V instead of 1.0 V; no layout change needed |
| TPS6281220QWRWYRQ1 | Same 2 A rating and 1.0 V output, but adds spread spectrum clocking (SSC) | Better suited for EMI-sensitive environments like radar proximity zones or antenna-adjacent modules | Choose if radiated emissions compliance is critical and SSC is not disabled in final firmware |
Compared with TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1, the 1.1 V variant offers direct compatibility for higher-voltage logic domains, while the SSC-enabled version trades minor efficiency loss for measurable EMI reduction-both retain identical thermal performance, pinout, and sequencing capability.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 and is it adjustable?
The TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 has a fixed 1.0 V output voltage. It does not support adjustable output via external feedback resistors because the FB pin is internally connected to the 1.0 V reference. This eliminates component count and improves noise immunity for dedicated 1.0 V core or I/O supplies. The TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 is part of the TPS6281x-Q1 family where fixed-output variants are optimized for simplicity and precision in automotive subsystems.
Does the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 1), accepting input frequencies from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz. Synchronization requires a resistor from COMP/FSET to GND; tying COMP/FSET directly to GND or VIN disables this feature. The device locks to the external clock within 50 µs and maintains phase alignment, enabling noise-sensitive multi-rail systems to avoid beat frequencies. This capability is fully retained in the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1.
What package type and footprint does the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 use?
The TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 uses a 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm VQFN-9 package with wettable flanks (RWY designation). This RoHS-compliant, leadless package features exposed thermal pad and solderable side walls for automated optical inspection (AOI) and improved thermal dissipation. Its pinout matches all TPS6281x-Q1 variants, enabling drop-in replacement across 1 A–4 A versions when output voltage and features align.
How does the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 handle power sequencing in automotive systems?
The TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 supports precise power sequencing via three integrated features: (1) a precise EN pin with 1.06–1.15 V rising threshold for RC-delayed startup, (2) SS/TR pin for soft-start timing or voltage tracking to external rails, and (3) open-drain PG output with window comparator for downstream reset coordination. These functions allow deterministic, glitch-free sequencing in multi-rail automotive ECUs without external supervisors. The TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 implements all three natively.
Is the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 qualified for automotive applications and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and meets Grade 1 specifications, covering an ambient operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. It includes functional safety documentation support for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. This qualification applies specifically to the TPS6281206QWRWYRQ1 device, not just the family, and is verified per TI's production test flow and reliability stress protocols.
