Product details
Overview
TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 2 A continuous output current, with input voltage range 2.75 V to 6 V, fixed 1.8 V output, ±1% feedback voltage accuracy in PWM mode, and adjustable switching frequency from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz. It serves as a primary power rail regulator in ADAS sensor fusion ECUs and infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 datasheet, TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 pinout, TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 application, or TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its wettable-flank VQFN-9 package, active output discharge, precise ENABLE threshold for sequencing, forced-PWM/PFM mode control via MODE/SYNC, and integrated spread-spectrum clocking option.
Technical Context
The TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal loop compensation selectable via resistor on COMP/FSET, enabling stable operation across 15 µF–130 µF output capacitance ranges depending on VOUT and compensation setting. Its 1.8–4 MHz switching frequency supports compact filter design while maintaining >90% efficiency at 2 A load with VIN = 5 V and VOUT = 1.8 V.
Functional safety support includes documentation for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration, thermal shutdown at 170°C with 15°C hysteresis, and precise EN pin thresholds (VIH = 1.1 V, VIL = 1.0 V) enabling programmable UVLO and exact power-rail sequencing. The device operates from –40°C to +125°C ambient and supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 is housed in a 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks (RWY, 9-pin), optimized for automated optical inspection and high-reliability automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE/SYNC | Digital control input | Selects PFM/PWM auto-mode (low) or forced PWM (high); also accepts external sync clock 1.8–4 MHz |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs; requires low-inductance routing to minimize switching loss and EMI |
| FB | Feedback reference | Internally tied to 1.8 V - no external resistor divider needed; must be connected directly to output |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 2.75–6 V; requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND |
| GND | Power ground | Primary return path for high-frequency switching current; must be solidly connected to thermal pad |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-level input with 1.1 V rising threshold - enables precise sequencing and user-defined UVLO via resistor divider |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within ±5% of 1.8 V; supports system monitoring and fault reporting |
| SS/TR | Soft-start/tracking | Capacitor-based ramp control for inrush limiting; also accepts external voltage for supply tracking during multi-rail startup |
| COMP/FSET | Compensation & frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets both switching frequency and internal compensation - critical for stability with chosen output capacitance |

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 and how is it configured?
The TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 provides a fixed 1.8 V output voltage. Unlike adjustable versions in the family, it does not require external feedback resistors - the FB pin is internally connected to the 1.8 V reference and must be directly tied to the output node. This configuration reduces component count, improves accuracy by eliminating resistor tolerance errors, and simplifies layout for space-constrained automotive modules. The ±1% feedback voltage accuracy is guaranteed in PWM mode across temperature and line conditions.
Does the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 support external synchronization of its switching frequency?
Yes, the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 supports external synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin, accepting a clock signal from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz. Synchronization is only enabled when a resistor is connected from COMP/FSET to GND - if COMP/FSET is tied directly to VIN or GND, external sync is disabled. The device locks to the external clock within 50 µs and aligns SW edge timing to maintain phase relationships in multi-converter systems. This capability helps reduce beat frequencies and system-level EMI in complex automotive power architectures.
What thermal protection features does the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 include?
The TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 incorporates thermal shutdown that activates at 170°C junction temperature, with 15°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation near the trip point. It also features a low thermal resistance package: RθJA = 71.1°C/W and RθJB = 16.4°C/W, enabling reliable 2 A operation in ambient temperatures up to +125°C when mounted on a 2-layer PCB with adequate copper pour. The device's high-side and low-side MOSFETs have RDS(ON) values of 37 mΩ and 15 mΩ respectively at VIN ≥ 5 V, minimizing conduction losses and self-heating under full load.
How does the ENABLE pin function on the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1?
The ENABLE pin on the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 has precise thresholds: VIH = 1.1 V (rising) and VIL = 1.0 V (falling), allowing accurate power sequencing and user-defined undervoltage lockout using a simple resistor divider. Pulling EN low disables the device, reducing shutdown current to 1.5 µA at 25°C. The pin must never be left floating - TI recommends pulling it high via a 100 kΩ resistor if unused. This precise enable behavior enables deterministic startup timing in multi-rail systems and supports fail-safe shutdown protocols required in ASIL-B designs.
Is spread-spectrum clocking available on the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 and how is it enabled?
Yes, spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) is an optional feature on the TPS628120MQWRWYRQ1 and is enabled by connecting a specific resistor value (4.5 kΩ to 10 kΩ) from the COMP/FSET pin to GND - this selects compensation setting 1 and activates SSC. When active, SSC modulates the switching frequency across the 1.8–4 MHz band to reduce peak EMI emissions by up to 10 dB, easing compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 automotive EMC requirements. SSC is disabled when COMP/FSET is tied to VIN or GND, or when using higher-value resistors for other compensation settings.
