Product details
Overview
TPS62871Z0WRXSR from Texas Instruments is a 9A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with I²C interface, differential remote sensing, and stackable architecture for high-current FPGA/ASIC core supplies. It operates from 2.7V–6V input, delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy, supports 1.5–3.0MHz resistor-selectable switching frequency, and integrates 7mΩ/4.5mΩ power MOSFETs in a 2.55mm × 3.55mm VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62871Z0WRXSR datasheet, TPS62871Z0WRXSR pinout, TPS62871Z0WRXSR application, or TPS62871Z0WRXSR equivalent, this device is selected for high-density point-of-load regulation requiring fast transient response, I²C programmability, thermal warning, and precise remote-sense accuracy in DDR memory and optical network power rails.
Technical Context
The TPS62871Z0WRXSR implements a fixed-frequency DCS-Control topology with inner emulated current loop, middle direct feedback loop, and outer voltage-regulating loop to achieve sub-10µs load transient recovery. Its differential remote sensing (VOSNS/GOSNS) enables ±1% DC regulation at the point-of-load under all operating conditions.
It supports dual operation modes: forced-PWM for lowest output ripple and best transient performance, or power-save mode for maximum efficiency at light loads. The I²C interface (up to 1MHz) provides real-time voltage monitoring, thermal warnings, and dynamic output voltage adjustment without external components.

Pinout & Package
TPS62871Z0WRXSR uses a 16-pin RXS (VQFN-FCRLF) package measuring 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad soldered to GND for optimal thermal performance (RθJB = 7.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP | Control loop compensation node | Connects external RC network to GOSNS for stability tuning; shared across stacked devices |
| GOSNS | Differential ground sense input | Measures return path voltage drop to enable true point-of-load regulation |
| VOSNS | Differential output voltage sense input | Paired with GOSNS to reject PCB IR drop and maintain ±1% accuracy |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high with internal pulldown; requires ≥15kΩ series resistor for robust noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62872Z0WRXSR | 12A rated, higher RDS(on) (7mΩ/4.5mΩ same), identical pinout and feature set | Used where higher current headroom is required without changing PCB layout | Select when design margin exceeds 9A or future-proofing for higher-power derivatives is needed |

FAQ
What is the default startup voltage for TPS62871Z0WRXSR?
The TPS62871Z0WRXSR has a factory-configured default startup voltage of 0.800V, corresponding to I²C address 0x40. This is set by internal resistor ladder on the VSEL pin; external resistor configuration (e.g., 6.2kΩ to GND) maintains this default. Other startup voltages (0.750V, 0.875V, 0.800V) are selectable via VSEL pin strapping, but 0.800V is the shipped default for TPS62871Z0WRXSR.
Does TPS62871Z0WRXSR support spread-spectrum operation?
Yes, TPS62871Z0WRXSR supports spread-spectrum operation with ±10% frequency modulation around the nominal switching frequency (1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0 MHz). This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled via I²C register write. Spread-spectrum reduces peak EMI emissions without affecting output voltage accuracy or transient performance of the TPS62871Z0WRXSR.
Can TPS62871Z0WRXSR be used without connecting the SDA and SCL pins?
No - SDA and SCL pins must not be left floating. For TPS62871Z0WRXSR (which includes full I²C functionality), both pins require external pull-up resistors to a logic-high voltage (e.g., 3.3V). Leaving them unconnected violates I²C bus specifications and may cause erratic communication or startup failure. The TPS62871Z0WRXSR relies on proper I²C termination for reliable initialization and register access.
What is the maximum output capacitance supported by TPS62871Z0WRXSR?
The TPS62871Z0WRXSR supports output capacitance values up to several millifarads depending on application conditions. While the recommended range is ≥40µF (effective), designs have successfully used ≥1000µF ceramic or hybrid polymer capacitors. Stability remains assured due to adjustable external compensation (COMP pin), and large COUT improves hold-up time and load-transient suppression - key for TPS62871Z0WRXSR deployments in burst-mode processor workloads.
How does thermal warning work on TPS62871Z0WRXSR?
The TPS62871Z0WRXSR monitors die temperature internally and asserts a thermal warning flag via I²C register (address 0x12, bit 0) when junction temperature reaches 150°C. This is distinct from thermal shutdown (170°C). The warning provides 20°C headroom for system firmware to throttle loads or increase fan speed before shutdown occurs - enabling graceful degradation rather than abrupt failure in thermally constrained TPS62871Z0WRXSR applications.
