Product details
Overview
TPS650243RHBT from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer systems, delivering three synchronous step-down converters (1.6 A / 1.0 A / 0.8 A), two 200 mA general-purpose LDOs, and one 30 mA always-on LDO (Vdd_alive). It supports dynamic voltage scaling on the core rail (DCDC3: 1.0 V or 1.2 V) and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650243RHBT datasheet, TPS650243RHBT pinout, TPS650243RHBT application, or TPS650243RHBT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25 MHz switching frequency, 85 µA quiescent current in PFM mode, split-rail output capability (I/O, memory, core), and VQFN-32 (5 mm × 5 mm) package with thermal pad - all critical for space-constrained portable electronics design.
Technical Context
The TPS650243RHBT integrates three independent buck converters with internal P/N-channel MOSFETs, each featuring soft-start (750 µs), adjustable output via resistor dividers or fixed-voltage selection pins (DEFDCDC1–3), and selectable PWM/PFM operation via the MODE pin. DCDC1 supplies system I/O (3.3 V or 2.8 V), DCDC2 powers memory (1.8 V or 2.5 V), and DCDC3 delivers processor core voltage (1.0 V or 1.2 V).
It includes dual 200 mA LDOs (VLDO1/VLDO2) with external feedback (FB_LDO1/FB_LDO2), a dedicated 30 mA Vdd_alive LDO, power-fail detection (PWRFAIL_SNS → open-drain PWRFAIL), and comprehensive protection: thermal shutdown (160°C), UVLO (2.35 V), and overcurrent limiting on all DC-DC stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DCDC1 Output Current | 1.6 A - sufficient for high-current I/O rails (e.g., SDIO, USB PHY, display interface) |
| DCDC2 Output Current | 1.0 A - supports DDR memory subsystems requiring stable 1.8 V/2.5 V at up to 1 A |
| DCDC3 Output Voltage | 1.0 V / 1.2 V (selectable via DEFDCDC3) - matches ARM Cortex-A8/A9 core voltage requirements |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz (±15%) - enables use of compact 2.2 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 85 µA (PFM, all DC-DC enabled, LDOs off) - extends battery life in standby/sleep modes |
| LDO Output Accuracy | ±2% (VLDO1/VLDO2), ±1% (Vdd_alive) - ensures reliable biasing of analog/RTC circuits |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer handheld applications |
Pinout & Package
TPS650243RHBT is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-pin VQFN package (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed PowerPad connected to AGND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDCDC3 | Feedback input for core converter | Direct connection to DCDC3 output enables precise regulation of 1.0 V/1.2 V core rail |
| DEFDCDC3 | Core voltage select input | Logic LOW = 1.0 V, HIGH = 1.2 V - enables dynamic voltage scaling without firmware changes |
| EN_DCDC1/2/3 | Individual enable inputs | Independent control allows sequenced power-up/down of I/O, memory, and core domains |
| VLDO1 / VLDO2 | LDO output terminals | Each delivers up to 200 mA with externally adjustable voltage (1.0–3.3 V) via FB_LDO1/FB_LDO2 |
| Vdd_alive | Always-on LDO output | Provides 1.2 V @ 30 mA for RTC, wake-up logic, or backup registers during deep sleep |
| PWRFAIL_SNS | Battery monitor input | Triggers open-drain PWRFAIL when VBAT drops below 1.0 V ±2%, enabling graceful shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three independent buck converters | Enables full power domain isolation: I/O (DCDC1), memory (DCDC2), core (DCDC3) - simplifies sequencing and fault containment |
| Dynamic core voltage scaling | DEFDCDC3 pin selects 1.0 V or 1.2 V output - reduces dynamic power by ~20% when CPU load is low |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 85 µA in PFM mode with all DC-DCs active - extends battery runtime in idle states without sacrificing responsiveness |
| Dual 200 mA programmable LDOs | FB_LDO1/FB_LDO2 allow custom output voltages (1.0–3.3 V) - eliminates need for external regulators in mixed-voltage SoC interfaces |
| Integrated power-fail detection | PWRFAIL_SNS + PWRFAIL provides hardware-level brownout warning - prevents data corruption during battery depletion |

FAQ
What is the core output voltage configuration for TPS650243RHBT?
The TPS650243RHBT provides a selectable core output voltage on DCDC3: 1.0 V when DEFDCDC3 is logic LOW, and 1.2 V when DEFDCDC3 is logic HIGH. This dual-voltage capability supports dynamic voltage scaling for ARM-based processors, allowing real-time trade-offs between performance and power consumption without changing hardware. The TPS650243RHBT does not support other core voltages - only these two fixed points.
Does TPS650243RHBT support I²C or other digital control interfaces?
No, the TPS650243RHBT does not include I²C, SPI, or any digital communication interface. It is a hardware-configured PMIC: voltage levels are set via external resistor dividers (for adjustable outputs) or logic pins (DEFDCDC1–3), and sequencing is controlled by individual enable signals (EN_DCDC1/2/3, EN_LDO, EN_Vdd_alive). All configuration is static at power-up - no firmware or register programming is required or supported for the TPS650243RHBT.
What is the maximum output current capability of the LDOs in TPS650243RHBT?
The TPS650243RHBT integrates two 200 mA general-purpose LDOs (VLDO1 and VLDO2) and one 30 mA always-on LDO (Vdd_alive). Each VLDO delivers up to 200 mA with ±2% output accuracy and dropout as low as 120 mV at 50 mA. Their input range is 1.5 V to 6.5 V, allowing direct connection to battery or a DC-DC output. The TPS650243RHBT's LDOs do not share current - each operates independently with its own enable and feedback path.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency in TPS650243RHBT?
The MODE pin on the TPS650243RHBT selects between automatic PFM/PWM operation (MODE = LOW) and forced PWM mode (MODE = HIGH). In PFM mode, the TPS650243RHBT achieves 85 µA quiescent current and >85% efficiency down to 100 µA loads; in forced PWM, efficiency drops below 10 mA but ripple is reduced and transient response improves. This dual-mode capability lets designers optimize for battery life (PFM) or signal integrity (PWM) per rail - a feature confirmed in the TPS650243RHBT datasheet Section 9.4.
Is thermal management supported in TPS650243RHBT?
Yes, the TPS650243RHBT includes integrated thermal shutdown protection that activates at 160°C junction temperature, with 20°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation. Its VQFN-32 package features an exposed PowerPad that must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB for effective heat dissipation. The datasheet specifies RθJA = 32.2°C/W and RθJB = 6.2°C/W - confirming the TPS650243RHBT is designed for conduction-cooled handheld applications where airflow is limited and board-level thermal design is critical.
