Product details
Overview
TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 9A continuous output current, operating from 2.7V–6V input, with ±1% output voltage accuracy, differential remote sensing, and 4.5mΩ/7mΩ internal MOSFETs. It targets high-current core supplies in ADAS and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 datasheet, TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 pinout, TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 application, or TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9A rating, absence of I²C interface, resistor-selectable switching frequency (1.5–3.0 MHz), fixed start-up voltage (0.750 V), and VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) 16-pin wettable flanks package.
Technical Context
The TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 implements a fixed-frequency DCS-Control topology optimized for fast load transients and low output voltage ripple. It supports forced-PWM or power-save operation via the MODE/SYNC pin and enables stacking with identical-current devices for higher output current or thermal spreading.
Differential remote sensing (VOSNS/GOSNS) ensures point-of-load regulation with better than ±1% DC accuracy across temperature and load. The device lacks I²C functionality-SDA and SCL pins must be tied to GND-and uses resistor-based configuration for switching frequency (FSEL) and start-up voltage (VSEL).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 9A continuous - supports high-power FPGA, ASIC, and DDR memory core rails without external current sharing circuitry. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6V - compatible with automotive 3.3V, 5V, and battery-supplied intermediate bus architectures. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% - guaranteed DC regulation at point-of-load under full temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and load range. |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(on) | High-side: 7 mΩ, Low-side: 4.5 mΩ - enables high efficiency (>92% typical at 5VIN/0.75VOUT, 6A) and reduced thermal stress. |
| Switching Frequency | Resistor-selectable: 1.5 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 3.0 MHz - allows optimization of size (higher fSW → smaller L/C) vs. efficiency (lower fSW → lower switching loss). |
| Start-up Voltage | Fixed 0.750 V - factory-configured via VSEL short-to-GND; eliminates external resistor network for default boot voltage. |
| Thermal Protection | Thermal warning at 150°C, shutdown at 170°C - provides fail-safe operation in sealed automotive enclosures with limited airflow. |
Pinout & Package
TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 is housed in a 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad soldered to GND for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 28°C/W on EVM).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP | Control loop compensation node | Connects external RC network to GOSNS; in stacked configurations, all COMP pins must be tied together for synchronized loop response. |
| VOSNS / GOSNS | Differential output voltage sense inputs | Enable point-of-load regulation; reject PCB trace IR drop to maintain ±1% accuracy at load terminals. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; requires ≥15kΩ series resistor; interconnects across stacked devices for coordinated startup/shutdown. |
| MODE/SYNC | Operating mode select / external clock sync | Pull low for power-save mode (efficiency-optimized); pull high for forced-PWM (low ripple, best transient response); accepts external clock 1.3–3.3 MHz. |
| FSEL | Frequency select | Resistor-to-GND/VIN sets switching frequency; internal pulldown/pullup resistors (1.3–9 kΩ) allow precise 1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0 MHz selection. |
| VSEL | Start-up voltage select | Short-to-GND configures fixed 0.750 V startup; no external resistor needed - simplifies BOM and layout for default configuration. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C interface pins | Must be tied to GND - disabled in N0 variants; omission prevents accidental bus contention or floating-input noise coupling. |
| PG | Power-good open-drain output | Signals valid output regulation using window comparator (92–98% UV, 102–108% OV thresholds); daisy-chained in stacked mode with primary-only assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stackable architecture | Enables parallel operation of multiple TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 units for >9A loads while distributing thermal dissipation across PCB area. |
| Differential remote sensing | Compensates for PCB trace resistance between converter and load, ensuring stable ±1% regulation even with 50 mΩ path impedance. |
| Adjustable external compensation | Allows fine-tuning of loop stability for diverse output capacitor types (e.g., MLCC, polymer) and values (40 µF–several mF). |
| Active output discharge | Provides controlled 50–200 mA constant-current or 6 Ω resistive discharge path to prevent floating outputs during disable or fault conditions. |
| Wettable flanks package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on RXS VQFN - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62871QWRXSRQ1 | I²C interface enabled; programmable start-up voltage (0.750 V default) and I²C address (0x41); SDA/SCL functional. | Required when dynamic voltage scaling, telemetry monitoring (temperature, VOUT), or multi-rail coordination via I²C bus is needed. | Select TPS62871QWRXSRQ1 if firmware-controlled voltage adjustment or real-time health monitoring is required; otherwise, TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| MPQ4436-AEC1 | Monolithic 10A buck; no remote sensing; fixed 600 kHz–3 MHz frequency; no stacking support; different pinout (20-pin QFN). | Suitable for single-device 10A applications without point-of-load sensing or current scalability; lacks thermal warning and wettable flanks. | Choose MPQ4436-AEC1 only for cost-sensitive, non-stacking designs where ±2% output accuracy and absence of thermal warning are acceptable. |
Compared with TPS62871QWRXSRQ1, the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 removes I²C overhead for simpler, more deterministic power sequencing - ideal for safety-critical boot paths. Versus MPQ4436-AEC1, it delivers superior accuracy, thermal intelligence, and scalable current via stacking, at the cost of slightly higher pin count and configuration flexibility.

FAQ
What is the default start-up output voltage of the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 has a factory-configured fixed start-up output voltage of 0.750 V, achieved by internally connecting the VSEL pin to GND. No external resistor is required, simplifying design and eliminating tolerance-related drift in the boot voltage setting.
Does the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 support stacking with other devices?
Yes, the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 supports stacking with identical-current TPS6287x-Q1 devices (e.g., another TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1) using SYNC_OUT → MODE/SYNC daisy-chaining. Stacking enables higher output current and distributed thermal management, but all devices in a stack must share the same current rating (9A).
How should the SDA and SCL pins be handled on the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1?
Because the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 is an I²C-disabled variant, the SDA and SCL pins must be externally tied to GND. Leaving them floating risks noise coupling or undefined logic states; connecting them to GND ensures predictable behavior and avoids potential bus conflicts in system-level layouts.
What thermal protection features does the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 provide?
The TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 includes thermal warning at 150°C (TJ rising) with 20°C hysteresis and thermal shutdown at 170°C (TJ rising) with 20°C hysteresis. These features enable early system-level thermal mitigation and hard fault protection - critical for unventilated automotive modules operating up to +125°C ambient.
Can the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 operate without external compensation components?
No, the TPS62871N0QWRXSRQ1 requires external compensation components (resistor and capacitor from COMP to GOSNS) to stabilize the control loop. The device does not include internal compensation; omitting the network results in instability, oscillation, or poor transient response - especially with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
