Product details
Overview
TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 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 processor cores.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 datasheet, TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 pinout, TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 application, or TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include I²C-configurable startup voltage (1.800V), 16-pin VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package with wettable flanks, stackable architecture for current scaling, thermal warning/thermal shutdown, and forced-PWM/power-save mode control via MODE/SYNC pin.
Technical Context
The TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 implements a fixed-frequency DCS-Control topology optimized for fast transient response and low output voltage ripple. It integrates 7mΩ high-side and 4.5mΩ low-side MOSFETs, supports resistor-selectable switching frequencies (1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0 MHz), and enables external clock synchronization or spread-spectrum operation to reduce EMI.
Differential remote sensing (VOSNS/GOSNS) ensures ±1% output voltage accuracy across load, line, and temperature variations. The device features adjustable external compensation (COMP pin), active output discharge, power-good window comparator (PG), and I²C interface (up to 1 MHz) for real-time voltage/temperature monitoring and dynamic output adjustment.

Pinout & Package
TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 is housed in a 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm 16-pin VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) and enhanced thermal performance. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to GND for optimal thermal resistance (RθJB = 7.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (COMP) | Control loop compensation input | Connects external RC network to GOSNS to stabilize feedback loop; shared across stacked devices. |
| 2 (GOSNS) | Differential ground sense input | Measures return path voltage drop to enable precise point-of-load regulation. |
| 3 (VOSNS) | Differential output voltage sense input | Monitors actual output at load; paired with GOSNS for <±1% accuracy under all conditions. |
| 4 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input (min. 15kΩ series resistor); disables converter and reduces quiescent current to 40µA. |
| 5,9 (VIN) | Main power input | Two independent VIN pins reduce IR drop and improve high-current routing; each requires local 5–10µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 6,8 (GND) | Ground reference | Dual GND pins minimize ground impedance; thermal pad must be connected to system GND plane. |
| 7 (SW) | Power switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| 10 (PG) | Power-good open-drain output | Signals valid output (92–98% UV / 102–108% OV window); pulled high externally when enabled. |
| 11 (MODE/SYNC) | Mode control / external sync input | Pull-low for power-save mode; pull-high for forced-PWM; accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| 12 (SDA) | I²C serial data bidirectional | Supports read/write of registers (voltage, temp, status); requires pull-up resistor; tied to GND in secondary stack roles. |
| 13 (SCL) | I²C serial clock input | Accepts up to 1 MHz clock; requires pull-up resistor; tied to GND in secondary stack roles. |
| 14 (SYNC_OUT) | Internal clock output | Drives MODE/SYNC of next device in daisy-chained stack; used to identify secondary converters via 47kΩ-to-GND. |
| 15 (VSEL) | Startup voltage select | Configures default output voltage at startup (1.800V for this variant via 6.2kΩ to GND). |
| 16 (FSEL) | Frequency select | Resistor-programmable switching frequency (1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0 MHz); internal pull-up/pull-down resistors provided. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62870QWRXSRQ1 | Same 6A rating and RXS package, but factory-configured for 0.850V startup (I²C address 0x40) instead of 1.800V (0x30). | Targeted for lower-voltage processor cores (e.g., ARM Cortex-A72), not high-VDDQ memory rails. | Select when default 0.850V startup aligns with system power sequencing requirements. |
| TPS62870Y1QWRXSRQ1 | Identical 6A/RXS/I²C spec, but configured for 0.800V startup (I²C address 0x40) and different VSEL resistor value. | Suitable for ASIC core supplies requiring tighter initial tolerance than generic 0.85V variants. | Choose when 0.800V nominal startup voltage matches SoC VDD_MIN specification and simplifies sequencing logic. |

FAQ
What is the default startup output voltage of the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 is factory-configured with a default startup output voltage of 1.800V, selected via a 6.2kΩ resistor from the VSEL pin to GND. This setting corresponds to I²C address 0x30 and is optimized for DDR memory VDDQ or FPGA auxiliary rails requiring higher initial voltage levels.
Does the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 support stacking with other TPS6287x-Q1 devices?
Yes, the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 supports stacking with identical current-rated devices (e.g., other 6A variants) using SYNC_OUT to MODE/SYNC daisy-chaining. Stacking enables current scaling (e.g., 12A with two units) and thermal load distribution, but all stacked devices must share the same current rating and COMP/GOSNS/VOSNS connections.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 use?
The TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 uses a 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm 16-pin VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package with wettable flanks. Its thermal performance includes RθJA = 43.2°C/W (JEDEC), RθJB = 7.7°C/W, and junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C-requiring the exposed thermal pad to be soldered to a GND plane for optimal heat dissipation.
How does the I²C interface of the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 enhance system design?
The I²C interface of the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 enables real-time voltage adjustment, temperature monitoring, and fault reporting without hardware modifications. It supports up to 1 MHz communication, allowing dynamic power management for processors and FPGAs, and provides access to thermal warning flags and power-good status for safe system sequencing.
What are the key differences between the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 and non-I²C variants like TPS62870N0QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1 includes full I²C functionality (address 0x30, 1.800V startup), while non-I²C variants like TPS62870N0QWRXSRQ1 lack register access and require SDA/SCL pins tied to GND. Non-I²C versions use fixed factory settings for parameters such as soft-start time and spread-spectrum enable, limiting runtime configurability compared to the TPS62870Y2QWRXSRQ1.
