Product details
Overview
TPS650231YFFR from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer powered systems, delivering three synchronous step-down converters (1.7-A DCDC1, 1.2-A DCDC2, 0.8-A DCDC3), two 200-mA LDOs, and a 30-mA RTC LDO with battery backup switching. It supports dynamic voltage scaling via I²C and operates across –40°C to +85°C in a 49-ball DSBGA package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650231YFFR datasheet, TPS650231YFFR pinout, TPS650231YFFR application, or TPS650231YFFR equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-buck architecture with independent enables, preselectable LDO voltages via DEFLDO1/DEFLDO2 pins, 85-μA quiescent current in PFM mode, and integrated power-fail/low-battery monitoring with programmable reset delay.
Technical Context
The TPS650231YFFR integrates three independent buck regulators sharing a common input rail (VINDCDC13/VINDCDC2), each with dedicated switch pins (L1/L2/L3), power grounds (PGND1/PGND2/PGND3), and feedback inputs (VDCDC1/VDCDC2/VDCDC3). Its I²C interface (SCLK/SDAT) supports dynamic voltage scaling for DCDC1 and configurable interrupt masking.
It features dual 200-mA LDOs with digitally selectable default outputs (via DEFLDO1/DEFLDO2), a dedicated RTC LDO (VRTC) with automatic switchover between VSYSIN and VBACKUP, and system-level supervision including open-drain RESPWRON with 100-ms delay set by external capacitor on TRESPWRON.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS650231YFFR in a portable system?
The TPS650231YFFR serves as a complete power management IC for single-cell Li-ion systems, integrating three high-efficiency buck converters (1.7-A, 1.2-A, 0.8-A), two 200-mA LDOs, a 30-mA RTC LDO with automatic backup switchover, and system supervision functions. Its role is to generate and manage all critical voltage rails while minimizing external components and maximizing battery runtime - a core requirement in smartphones and MIDs where the TPS650231YFFR replaces multiple discrete regulators.
How does the TPS650231YFFR support dynamic voltage scaling for processor cores?
The TPS650231YFFR supports dynamic voltage scaling for the processor core (VDCDC1) via its I²C-compatible serial interface, allowing real-time adjustment of output voltage during operation to match CPU performance states. Additionally, the DEFDCDC1 pin provides hardware-selectable fixed outputs (1.2 V or 1.6 V) at boot, enabling immediate core voltage configuration without firmware initialization. This dual-mode flexibility ensures both rapid startup and adaptive power management in the TPS650231YFFR.
What is the purpose of the TRESPWRON pin on the TPS650231YFFR?
The TRESPWRON pin on the TPS650231YFFR sets the duration of the active-low RESPWRON reset signal using an external capacitor to ground. A 1-nF capacitor yields a nominal 100-ms pulse, providing a precise, programmable system reset timing without requiring external timing ICs or RC networks. This feature ensures reliable processor reboot or wake-up sequencing in applications such as smartphones and portable media players where deterministic reset behavior is essential - a key differentiator of the TPS650231YFFR.
Can the TPS650231YFFR operate with input voltages below 3.0 V?
Yes, the TPS650231YFFR supports input voltages as low as 2.5 V on its VINDCDC1/VINDCDC2/VINDCDC3 and VCC pins, enabling operation through deep battery discharge down to ~3.0 V nominal cell voltage. Its internal UVLO threshold is 2.35 V with 120-mV hysteresis, ensuring stable startup and shutdown behavior across the full Li-ion discharge curve. This capability is explicitly validated in the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions and makes the TPS650231YFFR suitable for battery-powered applications requiring extended runtime - a critical specification for the TPS650231YFFR.
How are the LDO output voltages configured on the TPS650231YFFR?
The TPS650231YFFR provides two 200-mA LDOs (VLDO1 and VLDO2) whose default output voltages are set by the logic states of DEFLDO1 and DEFLDO2 pins, offering four preset combinations (e.g., 1.05 V / 1.2 V, 1.8 V / 2.8 V, etc.). These defaults can be overridden via I²C commands for dynamic reconfiguration. The LDOs accept input voltages from 1.5 V to 6.5 V and maintain ±2% output accuracy over load and temperature - a flexible, software-configurable power solution built into the TPS650231YFFR.
