Product details
Overview
TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C TA) automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 6-A continuous output current, with 2.7-V to 6-V input range, 0.6-V to 5.5-V adjustable output voltage, ±1% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode, and 26-µA typical quiescent current. It serves as a primary power rail regulator in ADAS sensor fusion and digital cockpit systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 datasheet, TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 pinout, TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 application, or TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its wettable-flank VQFN package, 1.8-MHz to 4-MHz adjustable switching frequency, forced-PWM/PWM-PFM mode control via MODE/SYNC, precise ENABLE threshold for sequencing, and integrated power-good window comparator with active output discharge.
Technical Context
The TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 implements peak current mode control with internally compensated loop architecture supporting three programmable compensation settings selected via resistor on COMP/FSET. Its dual-mode operation-forced PWM (MODE/SYNC = high) or automatic PWM/PFM (MODE/SYNC = low)-enables high efficiency across full load range while maintaining tight regulation.
It integrates low-RDS(on) MOSFETs (11 mΩ high-side, 9 mΩ low-side at VIN ≥ 5 V), supports external clock synchronization (1.8–4 MHz), offers 100% duty-cycle operation for ultra-low dropout, and includes spread spectrum clocking (SSC) enabled via COMP/FSET configuration-all within a thermally optimized 3-mm × 2-mm VQFN package with wettable flanks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6 V - supports wide automotive battery rail including cold-crank (≥2.7 V) and load-dump transient margins. |
| Output Current | 6 A continuous - enables single-chip supply for high-power SoCs or multi-rail PMIC subsystems in ADAS ECUs. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% in PWM mode - ensures stable core voltage for safety-critical processors without additional post-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle domains (e.g., camera wake-up logic). |
| Switching Frequency | 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz adjustable - allows EMI optimization and compact filter design using small 0.22-µH inductors. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 thermal requirements for under-hood and infotainment placement. |
| Package | VQFN-9 (RWY), 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm with wettable flanks - enables automated optical inspection (AOI) and reliable solder joint formation in automotive SMT lines. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-9 (RWY) package, 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm body size, 0.4-mm pitch, wettable flanks, exposed thermal pad (GND-connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 8) | Enable input | Logic-controlled startup with precise 1.05–1.15 V rising threshold; enables user-defined UVLO and exact power-rail sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; sets regulated VOUT with 0.6-V reference and ±1% accuracy in PWM mode. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Primary return path for high-current SW node and internal bias circuits; connects to exposed thermal pad for thermal dissipation. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 1) | Mode control / sync input | Selects forced PWM (high) or auto PWM/PFM (low); accepts external 1.8–4 MHz clock for synchronized multi-converter systems. |
| COMP/FSET (Pin 7) | Compensation / frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets both control-loop compensation and switching frequency (1.8–4 MHz); enables SSC activation. |
| PG (Pin 9) | Power-good open-drain output | Window comparator asserts high-Z when VOUT is within ±5% of target; signals system controller that rail is valid and stable. |
| SS/TR (Pin 6) | Soft-start / tracking input | Capacitor-to-GND sets startup ramp time; accepts external voltage for output tracking and precise multi-rail sequencing. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to internal high- and low-side MOSFETs; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.7–6 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - certified for front-end ADAS sensors and cockpit domain controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62903RTER | Lower 3-A output current; 2.7–6.5 V input; 1.8–4 MHz freq; no wettable flanks; no PG output | Suitable for lower-power infotainment peripherals but lacks power-good signaling and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 thermal margin | Choose TPS62903RTER only if 3-A output suffices and PG monitoring is not required in the system architecture. |
| MPQ4436AGL-AEC1-Z | 6-A output; 3–18 V input; fixed 2.2 MHz; no adjustable freq or SSC; QFN-13 with wettable flanks; no SS/TR pin | Broad input range fits 12-V systems but lacks soft-start/tracking flexibility and fine-grained frequency tuning for EMI control | Prefer MPQ4436AGL-AEC1-Z only when input exceeds 6 V or when simpler fixed-frequency design is acceptable over programmability. |
Compared with TPS62816QWRWYTQ1, TPS62903RTER trades output current and functional completeness for smaller footprint and cost, while MPQ4436AGL-AEC1-Z sacrifices frequency adjustability and sequencing features for wider input voltage range-making TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 optimal for high-precision, multi-rail automotive power systems demanding full configurability and safety compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1?
The TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 delivers up to 6 A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ +125°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating assumes use of the specified 3-mm × 2-mm VQFN package with wettable flanks and adequate copper pour for heat dissipation. Peak current capability reaches 10.4 A before foldback limiting activates, supporting transient loads in ADAS vision processors.
Does the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 1), accepting input frequencies from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz. When an external clock is applied, the device locks within 50 µs and maintains phase alignment with a ~180° shift between SW and MODE/SYNC edges-enabling deterministic interleaving in multi-phase or multi-rail automotive power systems without additional timing components.
How does the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 handle undervoltage lockout (UVLO)?
The TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 implements precise UVLO with rising threshold of 2.45–2.7 V and falling hysteresis of 2.1–2.6 V. When VIN drops below the falling threshold, both internal MOSFETs disable and PG goes low. The EN pin also supports user-defined UVLO via external resistor divider, allowing custom turn-on/off thresholds independent of the internal UVLO circuit-critical for staged power-up in complex automotive ECUs.
Can the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 operate in 100% duty-cycle mode?
Yes, the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 enters 100% duty-cycle mode when VIN approaches VOUT, maintaining regulation with minimal dropout. In this mode, the high-side FET remains continuously on while the low-side FET stays off. The effective dropout is determined by the high-side RDS(on) (11 mΩ typical), enabling stable operation down to ~100 mV dropout-essential for cold-crank scenarios where battery voltage dips near regulated output levels.
What is the purpose of the SS/TR pin on the TPS62816QWRWYTQ1?
The SS/TR (soft-start/tracking) pin (Pin 6) serves two functions: (1) With a capacitor to GND, it sets output voltage ramp time to limit inrush current during startup; (2) When driven by an external voltage source, it enables output voltage tracking for coordinated sequencing with other rails. The TPS62816QWRWYTQ1 achieves ±1 mV tracking offset and unity gain, making it suitable for powering stacked-core SoCs or mixed-signal ASICs requiring tightly coupled supply ramps.
