Product details
Overview
TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 6A continuous output current, supporting 2.7V–6V input, 0.4V–3.35V programmable output voltage with ±1% DC accuracy, and differential remote sensing for point-of-load regulation in high-performance core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 datasheet, TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 pinout, TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 application, or TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C interface support (0x40 address), 0.500V default startup voltage, stackable architecture for current scaling, thermal warning/thermal shutdown, and VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) 16-pin wettable flanks package compatibility.
Technical Context
The TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 implements a fixed-frequency DCS-Control topology optimized for fast transient response in automotive infotainment and ADAS power rails. It supports resistor-selectable switching frequencies (1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0 MHz) via FSEL and four startup voltage options (0.500V/0.750V/0.875V/1.050V) via VSEL, all accessible through its I²C interface up to 1 MHz.
Differential remote sensing (VOSNS/GOSNS) enables precise regulation at the load under dynamic conditions, while internal 7 mΩ high-side and 4.5 mΩ low-side MOSFETs sustain high efficiency across –40°C to +125°C ambient and up to +150°C junction temperature. Power-save or forced-PWM operation modes allow trade-offs between light-load efficiency and output ripple control.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 is housed in a 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) and enhanced thermal performance via exposed thermal pad soldered to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP | Control loop compensation node | Connects external RC network to GOSNS to stabilize feedback loop; must be shared across stacked devices. |
| GOSNS | Differential ground sense input | Measures return path voltage drop to enable accurate point-of-load regulation; rejects PCB trace resistance error. |
| VOSNS | Differential output voltage sense input | Monitors regulated output at load; used with GOSNS to achieve ±1% DC accuracy independent of board IR drop. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input requiring ≥15kΩ series resistor; disables device and reduces quiescent current to 40 µA when low. |
| VIN (Pins 5,9) | Main power input | Accepts 2.7V–6V supply; requires local ceramic decoupling capacitors on both sides of package for EMI suppression. |
| GND (Pins 6,8) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching; connects directly to thermal pad for thermal dissipation. |
| SW | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; switches between VIN and GND via internal 7 mΩ/4.5 mΩ MOSFET pair. |
| PG | Open-drain power-good indicator | Signals valid output regulation (92–108% window); tied together in stacked mode with primary device driving output. |
| MODE/SYNC | Operating mode select / clock sync input | Pulled low for power-save mode; pulled high for forced-PWM; accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data / clock | Supports 1 MHz communication for voltage programming, telemetry, and fault alerts; requires pullup resistors. |
| VSEL | Startup voltage selection | Resistor-to-GND (6.2kΩ) sets 0.500V default output; determines I²C address (0x40) and enables multi-voltage boot. |
| FSEL | Switching frequency selection | Resistor-to-GND/VIN selects 1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0 MHz; enables EMI spread-spectrum or external clock synchronization. |
| SYNC_OUT | Internal clock output | Daisy-chains to MODE/SYNC of next device in stack; identifies secondary role when pulled to GND via 47kΩ. |

FAQ
What is the default startup output voltage of the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 has a factory-configured default startup output voltage of 0.500V, set by connecting a 6.2kΩ resistor from the VSEL pin to GND. This voltage corresponds to I²C address 0x40 and is one of four selectable startup options supported by the device's VSEL pin configuration.
Does the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 support stacking with other devices?
Yes, the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 supports stacking with identical current-rated devices (e.g., other TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 units) to increase total output current. Stacking requires interconnecting COMP, EN, PG, and SYNC_OUT pins per TI's layout guidelines, and all stacked devices must share the same VSEL and FSEL configurations to ensure synchronized operation.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 use?
The TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 uses a 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) is 7.7°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to the PCB, and it operates across a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements.
How does the differential remote sensing feature improve regulation accuracy in the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 uses dedicated VOSNS and GOSNS pins to measure output voltage and return-path voltage directly at the load. This differential sensing rejects voltage drops across PCB traces and connectors, ensuring ±1% DC output accuracy regardless of board layout or current level-critical for low-voltage, high-current SoC cores.
What are the key functional safety features supported by the TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62870Y0QWRXSRQ1 is functional safety-capable with documented failure modes, FIT rate data, and safety analysis reports available from Texas Instruments.
