Product details
Overview
TPS650244RHBT 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 (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) and three LDOs (VLDO1/VLDO2: 200 mA each; Vdd_alive: 30 mA). It enables compact, high-efficiency power sequencing in portable ARM-based processors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650244RHBT datasheet, TPS650244RHBT pinout, TPS650244RHBT application, or TPS650244RHBT equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode PWM/PFM operation, DEFDCDC3-configurable core voltage, 2.25-MHz switching frequency, 85-μA quiescent current in PFM mode, and thermal shutdown protection - all critical for battery life and system stability in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TPS650244RHBT integrates three independent buck converters with separate enable pins (EN_DCDC1/2/3), fixed-frequency or adaptive PFM/PWM control via the MODE pin, and voltage-select logic on DEFDCDC1–DEFDCDC3 pins. Its DCDC3 output is set to 1.55 V (DEFDCDC3 = LOW) or 1.6 V (DEFDCDC3 = HIGH), supporting dynamic core voltage scaling for ARM processors.
All converters share a common 2.25-MHz oscillator with ±15% tolerance, use internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) ≤ 698 mΩ), and feature soft-start (750 μs ramp time), overcurrent limiting (ILIMF = 1.0–1.4 A), and thermal shutdown at 160°C. The LDOs support external feedback (FB_LDO1/FB_LDO2) and adjustable output from 1.0 V to 3.3 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power management IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS650243RHBT | DCDC3 outputs 1.0 V / 1.2 V (vs. 1.55 V / 1.6 V); identical pinout and package | Targeted at lower-voltage ARM cores (e.g., OMAP3530); not suitable for 1.55+ V requirements | Select only if core voltage requirement matches 1.0/1.2 V range and sequencing timing is compatible |
| TPS650245RHBT | DCDC3 outputs 0.9 V / 1.1 V; 1.0 A DCDC1 rating (vs. 800 mA); same 32-pin VQFN | Optimized for ultra-low-power Cortex-M3/M4 microcontrollers; lacks 1.55+ V capability | Choose when core rail must be sub-1.2 V and higher DCDC1 current is needed for peripherals |
Compared with TPS650243RHBT and TPS650245RHBT, the TPS650244RHBT uniquely supports 1.55 V/1.6 V core rails required by mid-range ARM9/ARM11 processors, while retaining identical footprint and sequencing control - making it the only drop-in solution for designs needing ≥1.55 V core voltage with minimal layout change.

FAQ
What output voltages does the TPS650244RHBT support for its DCDC3 converter?
The TPS650244RHBT supports two fixed DCDC3 output voltages: 1.55 V when DEFDCDC3 is driven LOW, and 1.6 V when DEFDCDC3 is driven HIGH. These values are factory-trimmed and specified across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. The TPS650244RHBT does not support adjustable DCDC3 output via external resistors - only the pin-selectable dual-voltage mode is valid for this variant.
Can the TPS650244RHBT operate with input voltages below 2.5 V?
No, the TPS650244RHBT requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V on all DCDC inputs (VINDCDC1/2/3) and VCC, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of SLVS774C. Operation below 2.5 V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause unregulated output, startup failure, or undefined behavior. The device is intended for single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2 V typical) or Li-polymer systems.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency in the TPS650244RHBT?
When MODE is LOW, the TPS650244RHBT operates in automatic PFM/PWM mode: converters switch to pulse-frequency modulation at light loads (<10 mA) to achieve 85 μA quiescent current, maximizing battery life. When MODE is HIGH, all converters force fixed-frequency PWM regardless of load, improving transient response but increasing quiescent current to ~2.5 mA - a trade-off for noise-sensitive analog circuits.
Is the TPS650244RHBT pin-compatible with other TPS65024x variants?
Yes, all TPS65024x variants including TPS650244RHBT use the identical 32-pin VQFN (RHB) package with fully compatible pinout and electrical characteristics for shared signals (EN_DCDCx, VINDCDCx, Lx, PGNDx, etc.). However, DCDC3 voltage selection (DEFDCDC3 logic levels) and current ratings differ - PCB layout is interchangeable, but firmware/configurations must match the specific variant's voltage and current specs.
What is the maximum supported output current for VLDO1 and VLDO2 on the TPS650244RHBT?
The TPS650244RHBT supports up to 200 mA output current per LDO (VLDO1 and VLDO2) when input voltage (VINLDO) is ≥1.8 V and output voltage is ≤1.3 V. At lower input voltages (e.g., VINLDO = 1.5 V), maximum output current reduces to 120 mA to maintain regulation. Both LDOs include short-circuit protection (400 mA limit) and thermal foldback.
