Product details
Overview
TPS650244IRHBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified power management IC (PMIC) integrating three synchronous step-down converters (VDCDC1: 800 mA @ 3.3 V, VDCDC2: 1.6 A @ 2.5 V, VDCDC3: 800 mA @ 1.55/1.6 V), two 200-mA adjustable LDOs, and a 30-mA always-on Vdd_alive LDO - all in a 32-pin QFN package. It targets Li-ion–powered automotive infotainment and ADAS subsystems requiring dynamic voltage scaling and high efficiency across wide load ranges.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650244IRHBRQ1 datasheet, TPS650244IRHBRQ1 pinout, TPS650244IRHBRQ1 application, or TPS650244IRHBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-voltage core rail (1.55 V / 1.6 V via DEFDCDC3), 2.25-MHz switching frequency for compact filter design, 85-μA quiescent current in PFM mode, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The TPS650244IRHBRQ1 implements three independent synchronous buck regulators with integrated P- and N-channel MOSFETs, each supporting automatic transition between pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads and fixed-frequency PWM (2.25 MHz ±15%) under heavier loads. Its VDCDC3 converter features dynamic voltage management via the DEFDCDC3 pin, enabling real-time core voltage adjustment without sequencing interruption.
Control logic includes separate enable pins for each DC-DC converter (EN_DCDC1/2/3), independent LDO enable (EN_LDO), and a global MODE pin selecting between Power Safe (auto-PFM/PWM) and forced-PWM operation. The device integrates analog ground (AGND1/AGND2) and power ground (PGND1/2/3) separation, plus internal UVLO (2.35 V threshold) and thermal shutdown (160°C with 20°C hysteresis).

Pinout & Package
TPS650244IRHBRQ1 uses a 32-pin QFN (RHB) package with 0.5-mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad connected to AGND. Pin assignments are fully defined in TI SLVS994A Rev. March 2011.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDCDC3 (Pin 1) | Feedback input | Connects directly to VDCDC3 output for closed-loop regulation; sets 1.55 V/1.6 V via DEFDCDC3 logic level |
| PGND3 (Pin 2) | Power ground | Low-impedance return path for VDCDC3 switch node (L3); must be routed separately from AGND |
| L3 (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to VDCDC3 inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires short, low-inductance trace |
| VINDCDC3 (Pin 4) | Input supply | Supplies VDCDC3; must be tied to same Li-ion source as VINDCDC1/VINDCDC2/VCC |
| DEFDCDC3 (Pin 32) | Voltage select control | Logic-level input: LOW → 1.55 V, HIGH → 1.6 V; enables dynamic core voltage scaling during operation |
| EN_DCDC3 (Pin 18) | Enable control | Active-high enable for VDCDC3; allows independent power sequencing of processor core rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS650233IRHBRQ1 | Same RHB package; VDCDC3 outputs 1.0 V / 1.2 V (not 1.55/1.6 V); lower max VDCDC2 current (1.0 A vs 1.6 A) | Targeted at lower-power OMAP processors; unsuitable for Samsung Exynos requiring ≥1.55 V core | Select only if core voltage requirement is ≤1.2 V and memory rail current ≤1.0 A |
| MAX8649ATG+T | 3.3 V / 2.5 V / 1.35 V triple buck; no Vdd_alive LDO; 1.2-MHz switching; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Designed for consumer portable devices; lacks automotive temp range, thermal shutdown, and always-on rail | Acceptable only for non-automotive industrial designs with relaxed reliability and thermal requirements |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the VDCDC3 converter in TPS650244IRHBRQ1?
The VDCDC3 converter in TPS650244IRHBRQ1 delivers up to 800 mA at its selectable output voltages of 1.55 V (DEFDCDC3 = LOW) or 1.6 V (DEFDCDC3 = HIGH). This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and accounts for thermal derating in the 5-mm × 5-mm QFN package. The current limit is enforced by internal circuitry to prevent damage during overload or short-circuit conditions.
How does the DEFDCDC3 pin function in TPS650244IRHBRQ1 compared to DEFDCDC1 and DEFDCDC2?
In TPS650244IRHBRQ1, the DEFDCDC3 pin is a logic-level input that selects between two fixed core voltages: 1.55 V (LOW) or 1.6 V (HIGH). Unlike DEFDCDC1 and DEFDCDC2 - which support both fixed outputs and resistor-divider–based adjustable ranges - DEFDCDC3 cannot be connected to a resistor divider and is intended solely for dynamic voltage scaling during processor operation. This enables real-time performance/power trade-offs without requiring a full power cycle.
Does TPS650244IRHBRQ1 support independent enable control for each DC-DC converter?
Yes, TPS650244IRHBRQ1 provides dedicated active-high enable pins for each of its three DC-DC converters: EN_DCDC1 (Pin 20), EN_DCDC2 (Pin 19), and EN_DCDC3 (Pin 18). This allows precise power sequencing - such as enabling Vdd_alive first, then VDCDC3 for processor core, followed by VDCDC2 for memory and VDCDC1 for I/O - which is mandatory for Samsung ARM-based automotive processors and prevents latch-up or initialization faults.
What is the purpose of the Vdd_alive LDO in TPS650244IRHBRQ1, and what voltage does it supply?
The Vdd_alive LDO in TPS650244IRHBRQ1 provides a dedicated 1.2 V ±1% output capable of delivering 30 mA, designed to remain active even when all other regulators are disabled. It powers critical always-on circuitry such as real-time clocks, wake-up comparators, and CAN bus monitoring logic in automotive systems. Its enable pin (EN_Vdd_alive, Pin 24) allows controlled activation during system sleep states, ensuring deterministic low-power behavior.
Is TPS650244IRHBRQ1 qualified for automotive applications, and what is its temperature rating?
Yes, TPS650244IRHBRQ1 is explicitly qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 3, with an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This qualification includes stress testing for thermal cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD robustness. The device's thermal shutdown (160°C) and hysteresis (20°C) are calibrated to ensure safe operation in sealed automotive enclosures under worst-case solar loading conditions.
