Product details
Overview
TPS650241QRHBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade power management IC (PMIC) integrating three synchronous step-down converters (1.6-A VDCDC1, 1.0-A VDCDC2, 0.8-A VDCDC3), two 200-mA adjustable LDOs, and a 30-mA always-on Vdd_alive LDO - all in a single 32-pin QFN package. It delivers precise core, memory, and I/O rail voltages for Li-ion–powered infotainment and telematics systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650241QRHBRQ1 datasheet, TPS650241QRHBRQ1 pinout, TPS650241QRHBRQ1 application, or TPS650241QRHBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode PFM/PWM operation, DEFDCDC3 dynamic voltage scaling (0.9 V / 1.375 V), 2.25-MHz switching frequency, 85-μA quiescent current in full-standby mode, and automotive temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The TPS650241QRHBRQ1 implements three independent synchronous buck regulators with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, each featuring input voltage feed-forward control for fast transient response and stable regulation across 2.5–6.0 V input. VDCDC3 supports real-time voltage scaling via the DEFDCDC3 pin, enabling dynamic core voltage adjustment without external sequencing logic.
All converters operate in automatic PFM mode at light loads and transition seamlessly to fixed-frequency PWM (2.25 MHz ±15%) under heavier loads. The device integrates dedicated enable pins per converter (EN_DCDC1/2/3), separate LDO enable (EN_LDO), and thermal shutdown (160°C) with 20°C hysteresis - critical for automotive under-hood reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDCDC1 Output | Fixed 2.80 V or 3.3 V (selectable via DEFDCDC1); ±2% accuracy over load/temperature; supports 1.6-A system I/O rail |
| VDCDC2 Output | Fixed 1.8 V or 2.5 V (selectable via DEFDCDC2); ±2% accuracy; powers 1.0-A memory subsystem |
| VDCDC3 Output | 0.9 V or 1.375 V (selectable via DEFDCDC3); ±2% accuracy; supplies 0.8-A processor core with dynamic voltage scaling |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz nominal (1.95–2.55 MHz range); enables use of small 1.5–2.2 μH inductors and 10–22 μF ceramic output capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 85 μA typical (all DC-DCs + LDOs enabled, zero load, PFM mode); ensures ultra-low standby power in always-on automotive modules |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1; validated for under-dash and center-stack automotive environments |
| Package | 32-pin QFN (RHB), 5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5-mm pitch; exposed thermal pad tied to AGND for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 35°C/W) |
Pinout & Package
TPS650241QRHBRQ1 uses a 32-pin QFN (RHB) package with 0.5-mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. All analog ground pins (AGND1, AGND2) are internally connected; the PowerPad must be soldered to PCB analog ground for thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDCDC3 (Pin 1) | Feedback input | Connects directly to VDCDC3 output for closed-loop regulation; sets 0.9 V or 1.375 V via DEFDCDC3 logic level |
| PGND3 (Pin 2) | Power ground | Low-impedance return path for VDCDC3 switch node; must be routed separately from AGND to minimize noise coupling |
| L3 (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to VDCDC3 inductor; requires tight layout with minimal trace length to reduce EMI and switching losses |
| VINDCDC3 (Pin 4) | Input supply | Shared 2.5–6.0 V input with VINDCDC1/VINDCDC2/VCC; must be decoupled with ≥10 μF ceramic capacitor |
| DEFDCDC3 (Pin 32) | Voltage select control | Logic-level input: LOW = 0.9 V, HIGH = 1.375 V; enables dynamic core voltage scaling during processor operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple synchronous buck architecture | Enables compact, high-efficiency multi-rail power delivery without external MOSFETs or compensation components |
| Dynamic VDD scaling on VDCDC3 | Allows real-time core voltage adjustment (0.9 V ↔ 1.375 V) via DEFDCDC3 pin - reduces active power in ARM-based processors |
| Auto PFM/PWM mode transition | Maintains >90% efficiency from 10 mA to full load; eliminates need for manual mode control or external circuitry |
| Dedicated enable pins per regulator | Supports flexible power sequencing: EN_DCDC1/2/3, EN_LDO, and EN_Vdd_alive allow independent turn-on/off timing |
| Integrated 30-mA Vdd_alive LDO | Provides always-on 1.2-V rail for RTC, wake-up logic, or CAN transceiver standby - independent of main DC-DC states |

FAQ
What is the default VDCDC3 output voltage configuration for TPS650241QRHBRQ1?
The TPS650241QRHBRQ1 defaults VDCDC3 to 0.9 V when DEFDCDC3 is pulled LOW (to GND) and to 1.375 V when DEFDCDC3 is pulled HIGH (to VCC). Unlike DEFDCDC1/2, DEFDCDC3 does not support resistor-divider programming - only logic-level selection is valid for this pin on the TPS650241QRHBRQ1.
Does TPS650241QRHBRQ1 support dynamic voltage scaling during processor operation?
Yes, the TPS650241QRHBRQ1 supports real-time dynamic voltage scaling on VDCDC3. Changing the logic level on DEFDCDC3 while the device is powered allows seamless transition between 0.9 V and 1.375 V core output voltages - enabling power-aware software algorithms to optimize performance versus energy consumption without hardware reset.
What is the maximum output current capability of each DC-DC converter in TPS650241QRHBRQ1?
The TPS650241QRHBRQ1 provides 1.6-A output from VDCDC1 (I/O rail), 1.0-A from VDCDC2 (memory rail), and 0.8-A from VDCDC3 (core rail). These ratings are specified at nominal input voltage (3.6 V) and full thermal derating up to 125°C junction temperature, with internal current limiting protecting against overload conditions.
How does the TPS650241QRHBRQ1 manage power efficiency across varying load conditions?
The TPS650241QRHBRQ1 automatically switches between PFM (pulse-frequency modulation) at light loads and fixed-frequency PWM (2.25 MHz) at medium-to-heavy loads. This hybrid control preserves >90% efficiency from 10 mA to full rated current, eliminating manual mode selection and reducing design complexity compared to externally controlled PMICs.
Is TPS650241QRHBRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the TPS65024x family?
Yes, the TPS650241QRHBRQ1 shares identical pinout, package (32-pin QFN RHB), and electrical interface with TPS650243QRHBRQ1 and TPS650244IRHBRQ1. Functional differences - such as VDCDC3 voltage options and temperature grade - are implemented internally; no PCB layout changes are needed when substituting within the same package variant.
