Product details
Overview
TPS650231YFFT from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer powered portable systems. It delivers three synchronous step-down converters (1.7-A DCDC1, 1.2-A DCDC2, 0.8-A DCDC3), two 200-mA LDOs, a 30-mA RTC LDO/switch, dynamic voltage scaling via I²C, and battery backup functionality - all in a 49-ball DSBGA package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650231YFFT datasheet, TPS650231YFFT pinout, TPS650231YFFT application, or TPS650231YFFT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating parameters across –40°C to +85°C, and real-world implementation guidance for smart phone, netbook, and portable media player power architectures.
Technical Context
The TPS650231YFFT integrates three independent buck converters with separate enable pins (DCDC1_EN, DCDC2_EN, DCDC3_EN), each supporting adjustable output voltages via external resistor dividers or digital DEF pins. Its I²C interface (up to 400 kHz) enables dynamic voltage scaling of DCDC1 and programmable control of LDO outputs, interrupts, and reset timing.
It features dual 200-mA LDOs with digitally selectable default voltages (via DEFLDO1/DEFLDO2), a dedicated 30-mA VRTC rail with automatic system/backup battery switchover, and comprehensive monitoring including PWRFAIL, LOWBAT, and HOT_RESET with configurable reset delay (TRESPWRON).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power management IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS650230YFFT | Omits VRTC LDO and backup switch functionality; identical DCDC/LDO/I²C architecture | Not suitable for systems requiring RTC battery backup or seamless switchover | Select when RTC is supplied externally or not required - reduces cost by ~12% |
| TPS650244YFFT | Includes additional 100-mA LDO (LDO3); same DCDC specs but higher quiescent current (110 µA vs. 85 µA) | Better suited for designs needing third independent LDO for modem or connectivity ICs | Choose when extra LDO headroom justifies marginal efficiency trade-off and higher BOM cost |
Compared with TPS650231YFFT, TPS650230YFFT removes RTC backup capability but retains full DVFS and multi-rail control, while TPS650244YFFT adds an LDO at the expense of slightly higher static power - both require PCB layout review due to non-pin-compatible ball mapping.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported output current for DCDC1 in TPS650231YFFT?
The TPS650231YFFT supports up to 1.7 A continuous output current on its DCDC1 converter, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections of the official datasheet (SLVSAE3A). This rating applies under recommended operating conditions (VINDCDC1 = 2.5 V to 6 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C) with proper thermal management. The TPS650231YFFT achieves this using internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs with typical rDS(on) values of 125 mΩ and 130 mΩ respectively.
Does TPS650231YFFT support dynamic voltage scaling for the processor core rail?
Yes, the TPS650231YFFT supports dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for the DCDC1 output - the processor core rail - via its I²C-compatible serial interface. The interface allows real-time read/write access to register-controlled voltage settings, enabling software-driven adjustments during operation. This feature is explicitly documented in the Features and Device Functional Modes sections of the TPS650231YFFT datasheet (SLVSAE3A), and is used in conjunction with the DEFDCDC1 pin for hardware-selectable defaults.
What is the function of the TRESPWRON pin on TPS650231YFFT?
The TRESPWRON pin on the TPS650231YFFT sets the duration of the RESPWRON system reset pulse using an external capacitor. Connecting a 1-nF capacitor from TRESPWRON to GND produces a nominal 100-ms active-low reset signal on RESPWRON, as confirmed in the Pin Functions and Electrical Characteristics tables of the TPS650231YFFT datasheet (SLVSAE3A). The internal constant-current source (1.7–2.3 µA) charges the capacitor to generate precise timing - no external timer IC is required.
Can TPS650231YFFT operate with a single Li-Ion battery input?
Yes, the TPS650231YFFT is explicitly designed for single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery operation, with input voltage ranges supporting 2.5 V to 6 V across all DC-DC inputs (VINDCDC1/VINDCDC2/VINDCDC3) and LDO input (VINLDO). Its 85-µA quiescent current in PFM mode and UVLO threshold of 2.35 V (with 120-mV hysteresis) ensure reliable startup and operation down to end-of-discharge battery voltages, as detailed in Sections 7.3 and 7.5 of the TPS650231YFFT datasheet.
How does the VRTC rail behave when both VSYSIN and VBACKUP are present on TPS650231YFFT?
When both VSYSIN and VBACKUP are present, the TPS650231YFFT automatically selects the higher valid voltage source for the VRTC rail using internal ideal diode switches. VSYSIN is prioritized if ≥2.65 V (rising threshold); otherwise, VBACKUP takes over if ≥2.65 V. The switchover is seamless and occurs within microseconds, ensuring uninterrupted RTC operation. This behavior is defined in Section 7.8 of the TPS650231YFFT datasheet (SLVSAE3A), with rDS(on) of 12.5 Ω for both switches and thresholds specified to ±3%.
