Product details
Overview
TPS650244RHBR from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer systems, featuring three synchronous step-down converters (DCDC1: 800 mA @ 3.3 V or 2.8 V; DCDC2: 1.6 A @ 1.8 V or 2.5 V; DCDC3: 800 mA @ 1.55 V/1.6 V), two 200-mA adjustable LDOs, and one 30-mA always-on Vdd_alive LDO. It delivers dynamic voltage scaling and high efficiency (>95% at full load) in portable applications such as smart phones and GPS devices.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650244RHBR datasheet, TPS650244RHBR pinout, TPS650244RHBR application, or TPS650244RHBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed dual-core/memory rail configuration, DEFDCDC3-selectable 1.55 V / 1.6 V output for processor core, 2.25-MHz switching frequency, 85-μA quiescent current in PFM mode, and thermal shutdown protection.
Technical Context
The TPS650244RHBR implements three independent PWM/PFM hybrid synchronous buck converters with separate enable pins (EN_DCDC1/2/3) and voltage-selection inputs (DEFDCDC1/2/3). DCDC3 supports precise core voltage selection via logic-level DEFDCDC3 - LOW sets 1.55 V, HIGH sets 1.6 V - enabling dynamic scaling during processor state transitions.
It integrates two externally adjustable 200-mA LDOs (VLDO1/VLDO2) with 1-V feedback reference and a dedicated 30-mA Vdd_alive LDO (1.2 V nominal), all supplied from VINLDO (1.5–6.5 V). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, uses a shared 2.25-MHz oscillator, and enters low-power PFM mode at light loads to maintain >85% efficiency down to 100 μA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DCDC1 Output | 800 mA max @ 3.3 V or 2.8 V; supports I/O/peripheral rail with ±2% regulation in PWM/PFM mode |
| DCDC2 Output | 1.6 A max @ 1.8 V or 2.5 V; supplies memory subsystem with 95% peak efficiency |
| DCDC3 Output | 800 mA max @ 1.55 V (DEFDCDC3 = LOW) or 1.6 V (HIGH); core voltage rail with dynamic scaling |
| LDO1/LDO2 | 200 mA each, adjustable via external resistor divider; 1-V feedback reference enables precision output setting |
| Vdd_alive | 30 mA, fixed 1.2 V output; powers always-on circuitry (e.g., RTC, wake-up logic) with ±1% accuracy |
| Quiescent Current | 85 μA typical in PFM mode (all converters enabled, zero load); critical for battery runtime extension |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz nominal (±13%); enables use of compact 2.2-μH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors |
Pinout & Package
The TPS650244RHBR is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-pin VQFN package (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm, RHB), with exposed PowerPad connected to AGND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDCDC3 | Feedback input for DCDC3 | Connects directly to DCDC3 output node for closed-loop regulation of 1.55 V/1.6 V core rail |
| DEFDCDC3 | DCDC3 voltage select input | Logic-level control: LOW = 1.55 V, HIGH = 1.6 V; enables hardware-based core voltage scaling |
| EN_DCDC3 | Enable input for DCDC3 | Active-high signal; disables converter and reduces quiescent current to <1 μA when pulled low |
| L3 | Switch node for DCDC3 | Connects to 2.2-μH inductor; carries high-frequency pulsed current; requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
| PGND3 | Power ground for DCDC3 | Dedicated ground return path for DCDC3 high-side/low-side MOSFETs; must be routed separately from AGND |
| VINDCDC3 | Input supply for DCDC3 | Accepts 2.5–6 V; must be tied to same source as VCC, VINDCDC1, and VINDCDC2 for proper biasing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three independent buck converters | Enables simultaneous, optimized power delivery to core (DCDC3), memory (DCDC2), and I/O (DCDC1) rails without cross-regulation |
| Dynamic core voltage scaling | DEFDCDC3 pin allows real-time hardware selection between 1.55 V and 1.6 V for adaptive processor performance/power trade-offs |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 85 μA in PFM mode extends battery life in standby; drops to 16 μA in full shutdown (all converters and LDOs disabled) |
| Integrated power-fail detection | PWRFAIL_SNS input and open-drain PWRFAIL output provide early warning of battery depletion to trigger safe system shutdown |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at 160°C junction temperature and releases at 140°C, preventing thermal runaway during sustained high-load operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS650243RHBR | DCDC3 outputs 1.0 V / 1.2 V (vs. 1.55 V / 1.6 V); DCDC2 rated for 1.6 A @ 2.5 V; identical pinout and package | Suitable for lower-voltage ARM9/ARM11 cores; not compatible where 1.55+ V core rail is required | Select TPS650243RHBR only if target SoC specifies 1.0–1.2 V core voltage and higher memory current demand |
| TPS650245RHBR | DCDC3 outputs 0.9 V / 1.1 V; DCDC1 rated for 1.0 A @ 3.3 V; shares same VQFN-32 footprint | Targeted at ultra-low-power Cortex-M3/M4 microcontrollers; lacks 1.6-A memory rail capability | Choose TPS650245RHBR for cost-sensitive, sub-1-V core applications where memory bandwidth is not critical |
Compared with TPS650243RHBR and TPS650245RHBR, the TPS650244RHBR uniquely supports 1.55–1.6 V core voltage scaling-critical for mid-range application processors-and maintains 1.6-A memory rail capability, making it optimal for performance-constrained portable systems requiring balanced power and thermal design.

FAQ
What is the core output voltage range supported by the TPS650244RHBR?
The TPS650244RHBR supports two fixed core output voltages on its DCDC3 rail: 1.55 V when DEFDCDC3 is logic LOW, and 1.6 V when DEFDCDC3 is logic HIGH. This dual-voltage capability enables hardware-based dynamic scaling for ARM-based application processors without requiring I²C communication or firmware intervention. The TPS650244RHBR does not support adjustable core voltage outside this pair.
Does the TPS650244RHBR require external resistors to set its DCDC1 and DCDC2 output voltages?
No - the TPS650244RHBR uses internal resistor dividers for default DCDC1 (3.3 V or 2.8 V) and DCDC2 (1.8 V or 2.5 V) outputs, selected by DEFDCDC1 and DEFDCDC2 logic levels. External resistors are optional: connecting DEFDCDC1/2 to a voltage divider between their respective output and GND allows adjustment within 0.6 V to VIN range, but are not required for standard operation.
How does the TPS650244RHBR manage efficiency at light load conditions?
The TPS650244RHBR automatically enters pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode at light loads across all three buck converters, reducing switching frequency and gate drive losses to achieve 85–90% efficiency down to 100 μA output current. When MODE pin is held HIGH, it forces fixed-frequency PWM mode for predictable EMI behavior - a key differentiator from hysteretic or burst-mode alternatives.
Can the TPS650244RHBR's LDOs be used to power noise-sensitive analog circuitry?
Yes - the TPS650244RHBR's VLDO1 and VLDO2 are low-noise, low-dropout regulators with 1-V internal reference and ±1% output accuracy. When supplied from a clean DCDC output (e.g., filtered 3.3 V rail), they deliver <20 μVRMS output noise and 10-μs load regulation time, making them suitable for powering ADC references, PLLs, or RF bias circuits - provided proper PCB layout separates LDO input/output paths from noisy switch-node traces.
What thermal protection features are built into the TPS650244RHBR?
The TPS650244RHBR includes junction-temperature sensing with thermal shutdown activation at 160°C and 20°C hysteresis (re-enable at 140°C). Its 32-pin VQFN package features an exposed PowerPad that must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB for effective heat dissipation. Thermal resistance is specified as RθJA = 32.2°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to 85°C ambient with appropriate copper area and airflow.
