Product details
Overview
TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 3 A continuous output current, fixed 1.0 V output voltage, 1.8–4 MHz adjustable switching frequency, and ±1% feedback voltage accuracy in PWM mode. It operates across 2.75 V to 6 V input and supports forced PWM or PFM operation in infotainment head units and ADAS sensor fusion ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 datasheet, TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 pinout, TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 application, or TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wettable-flank VQFN-9 package, active output discharge, spread spectrum clocking option, precise ENABLE threshold for sequencing, and 15 µA quiescent current in light-load PFM mode.
Technical Context
The TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation selectable via resistor on COMP/FSET, enabling stable regulation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 27 µF (for VOUT ≥ 3.3 V) or 47 µF (for 3 A versions). Its MODE/SYNC pin supports external clock synchronization from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz or logic-controlled PWM/PFM mode selection.
It integrates high-side (37–60 mΩ) and low-side (15–35 mΩ) MOSFETs optimized for high ambient temperature operation, features a dedicated SS/TR pin for soft-start timing or voltage tracking, and includes a window-comparator-based power-good (PG) output with 40 µs deglitch time and open-drain configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports high-power rails in automotive clusters and telematics without thermal derating at +125°C ambient. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.0 V - eliminates external feedback resistors; matches core voltage requirements of SoCs like TI Jacinto 7 or NXP S32G. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.75 V to 6 V - compatible with 3.3 V, 5 V, and battery-backed automotive supplies including cold-crank down to 2.75 V. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical - enables >10-year battery standby in always-on ADAS modules with minimal parasitic drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.8–4 MHz adjustable - allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics; supports synchronization to avoid beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% in PWM mode - ensures tight regulation for sensitive processor cores, reducing need for margin in system-level voltage tolerance budgets. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 71.1 °C/W - enables 3 A operation in 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN without forced airflow when PCB copper area meets recommended layout guidelines. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 is housed in a 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks (RWY, 9-pin), supporting automated optical inspection (AOI) and improving solder joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE/SYNC | Digital control input | Selects PFM/PWM mode (low/high) or accepts external sync clock (1.8–4 MHz); requires pull-up/down; no passive components needed for sync. |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs; requires low-inductance path to inductor and input/output capacitors. |
| FB | Voltage feedback input | Internally tied to 1.0 V reference; must be connected directly to output for fixed-VOUT operation - no external divider required. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 2.75–6 V; requires local 10 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND for high-frequency decoupling. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for VIN, SW, PG, EN, and all control pins; must be solid thermal pad connection per layout guidelines. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible input with 1.06–1.15 V rising threshold; enables programmable UVLO and power-up sequencing via RC network. |
| PG | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within ±5% of 1.0 V (95–107% window); debounced with 40 µs filter. |
| SS/TR | Soft-start/tracking | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; also accepts external voltage for rail tracking during power-up or fault recovery. |
| COMP/FSET | Compensation & frequency set | Resistor-to-GND selects both loop compensation and switching frequency (1.8–4 MHz); tied to GND/VIN for fixed 2.25 MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive power supply reliability requirements for front-end ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS628130AQWRWYRQ1 | Fixed 1.2 V output; identical 3 A rating, package, and feature set. | Targets SoCs requiring 1.2 V core (e.g., older ARM Cortex-A series), not 1.0 V logic domains. | Select when system architecture mandates 1.2 V instead of 1.0 V - no layout change needed due to pin compatibility. |
| TPS6281220QWRWYRQ1 | 2 A output, same 1.0 V fixed output, includes spread spectrum clocking. | Suitable for lower-power clusters or gateway modules where 2 A suffices and cost reduction is prioritized. | Choose for BOM cost optimization in non-performance-critical 1.0 V rails; shares footprint but derates output current by 33%. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1?
The TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 provides a fixed 1.0 V output voltage. This is achieved internally - the FB pin is pre-connected to the 1.0 V reference, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. The device maintains ±1% accuracy in PWM mode across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, making it suitable for core power delivery to modern automotive SoCs requiring precise 1.0 V rails.
Does the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 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; tying COMP/FSET to GND or VIN disables sync capability. The device locks to the external clock within 50 µs and supports phase-shifted operation when cascading multiple converters using SW as a sync source.
What package type does the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 use?
The TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 uses a 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks (RWY, 9-pin). This package enables automated optical inspection of solder joints and improves thermal dissipation through the exposed thermal pad. It is pin-compatible with other TPS6281x-Q1 variants, allowing design reuse across 1 A to 4 A versions without layout modification.
How does the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 handle light-load efficiency?
The TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 automatically transitions between forced PWM and PFM modes based on load. In PFM mode, switching frequency decreases linearly with load to maintain >85% efficiency down to 1 mA output current. Its 15 µA typical quiescent current minimizes standby power loss - critical for always-on ADAS modules powered from vehicle battery during ignition-off states.
Is the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPS6281326QWRWYRQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified for automotive applications, rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. It includes functional safety documentation support, thermal shutdown at 170°C with 15°C hysteresis, and robust ESD protection (±2000 V HBM). These features meet stringent reliability requirements for infotainment, telematics, and ADAS systems deployed in production vehicles.
