Product details
Overview
TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a 12A AEC-Q100 Grade-1 automotive synchronous step-down 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 accuracy across 0.4V–3.35V range, and integrates 7mΩ/4.5mΩ MOSFETs in a 2.55mm × 3.55mm VQFN-FCRLF (RXS) package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 datasheet, TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 pinout, TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 application, or TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12A continuous current rating, I²C-programmable voltage (1.75V/3.30V start-up options), 1.5–3.0MHz resistor-selectable switching frequency, thermal warning/thermal shutdown, and support for stacked operation with up to four devices.
Technical Context
The TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 implements a fixed-frequency DCS-Control topology optimized for fast load transients in automotive infotainment and ADAS systems. Its differential remote sensing (VOSNS/GOSNS) enables point-of-load regulation, achieving better than ±1% DC accuracy under all operating conditions including temperature drift and PCB IR drop.
It supports dual operational modes via MODE/SYNC pin: power-save mode for peak efficiency at light loads, and forced-PWM mode for lowest output ripple and best transient response. The device also offers spread-spectrum operation and external clock synchronization (1.3–3.3MHz), with I²C interface (up to 1MHz) enabling real-time voltage adjustment, thermal monitoring, and fault reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 12A continuous - supports high-power digital cores without derating at +125°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6V - compatible with 3.3V, 5V, and automotive battery rails (cold-crank tolerant). |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% - guaranteed over line, load, and temperature (–40°C to +125°C TA) with remote sense. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 3.0 MHz - resistor-selectable via FSEL pin; enables compact magnetics and EMI control. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 1 MHz - supports rapid dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for processor performance states. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +150°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade-1 requirements for under-hood and cluster applications. |
| Power-Save / Forced PWM | Selectable via MODE/SYNC pin - balances efficiency (≥92% at light load) and transient performance (≤10µs response). |
Pinout & Package
TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 uses the RXS (VQFN-FCRLF, 16-pin) package: 2.55mm × 3.55mm × 1mm with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI) and robust solder joint reliability. Thermal pad must be soldered to GND for optimal thermal resistance (RθJB = 7.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP | Control loop compensation node | Connects external R-C network to GOSNS; in stacked configurations, all COMP pins are tied together. |
| VOSNS / GOSNS | Differential output voltage sense inputs | Enable true point-of-load regulation; reject PCB trace resistance errors for ±1% accuracy. |
| EN | Enable input with internal pulldown | Requires ≥15kΩ series resistor; low disables converter and reduces quiescent current to 40µA. |
| MODE/SYNC | Mode select / external clock sync input | Pull low for power-save; pull high for forced-PWM; accepts external clock (1.3–3.3MHz) for EMI reduction. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Supports 1MHz Fast Mode Plus; used for voltage programming, thermal warnings, and status readback. |
| VSEL / FSEL | Resistor-programmable start-up voltage / frequency select | VSEL sets one of four factory-configured start-up voltages (1.75V/3.30V); FSEL selects 1.5/2.25/2.5/3.0MHz. |
| SYNC_OUT | Daisy-chain clock output | Drives MODE/SYNC of next device in stack; identifies secondary converters when pulled to GND via 47kΩ. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62872Y1QWRXSRQ1 | Same 12A rating and RXS package; fixed 0.875V start-up voltage and I²C address 0x42 (vs. 1.75V/3.30V and 0x32/0x33 for TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1). | Targeted at lower-voltage core rails (e.g., 0.85V ASIC cores); lacks dual-voltage flexibility for multi-rail systems. | Select when fixed 0.875V start-up suffices and I²C address conflict must be avoided in multi-device systems. |
| TPS62873Y2QWRXSRQ1 | 15A version with identical pinout, I²C interface, and 1.75V/3.30V start-up options; higher current capability and slightly higher rDS(on) (6.5mΩ/4.0mΩ vs. 7mΩ/4.5mΩ). | Suitable for future-proofing or higher-current derivatives (e.g., next-gen ADAS SoCs); requires validation of thermal margin at 15A. | Choose when >12A headroom is required and board layout accommodates same footprint with enhanced thermal design. |

FAQ
What is the start-up output voltage configuration for TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1?
The TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 supports two factory-programmed start-up voltages: 1.75V (I²C address 0x32) and 3.30V (I²C address 0x33), selected via resistor connection on the VSEL pin. This dual-voltage option simplifies design reuse across different SoC core voltage requirements without changing the bill of materials.
Does TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 support stacking with other TPS6287x-Q1 devices?
Yes, TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 supports daisy-chained stacking with up to three additional identical 12A devices using SYNC_OUT and MODE/SYNC pins. All stacked devices must share the same current rating (12A), and COMP, EN, and PG pins must be interconnected per TI's layout guidelines to ensure balanced current sharing and synchronized operation.
What thermal protection features does TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 provide?
TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 integrates thermal warning at 150°C (with 20°C hysteresis) and thermal shutdown at 170°C (also with 20°C hysteresis). Both thresholds are junction-based and trigger dedicated open-drain outputs-enabling system-level thermal management such as fan activation or processor throttling before catastrophic failure occurs.
How does the differential remote sensing work on TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1?
TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 uses dedicated VOSNS (output voltage sense) and GOSNS (output ground sense) pins to measure voltage directly at the load, rejecting voltage drop across PCB traces and connectors. This achieves better than ±1% DC accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient, eliminating the need for Kelvin routing in space-constrained automotive layouts.
What are the I²C address options for TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1?
TPS62872Y2QWRXSRQ1 has two fixed I²C addresses determined by start-up voltage: 0x32 for 1.75V and 0x33 for 3.30V. These addresses are factory-programmed and cannot be changed via software or external pins-ensuring deterministic bus arbitration in multi-device systems without address conflicts.
