Product details
Overview
TPS650250RHBR from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) for ARM-based SoCs and mobile applications, featuring three synchronous step-down converters (1.6 A, 0.8 A, 0.8 A), two 200 mA general-purpose LDOs, and one 30 mA always-on Vdd_alive LDO - all in a single 5 mm × 5 mm VQFN-32 package. It supports dynamic voltage scaling for processor core (VDCDC3), operates from 2.5 V to 6 V input, and delivers up to 97% efficiency at full load in DCDC1 for I/O rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650250RHBR datasheet, TPS650250RHBR pinout, TPS650250RHBR application, or TPS650250RHBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its triple-buck architecture with independent enable/control pins, 2.25 MHz switching frequency enabling compact external components, PFM/PWM mode auto-selection via MODE pin, and resistor-programmable output voltages across all rails - critical for battery-powered handheld systems requiring multi-rail sequencing and low-quiescent-current operation.
Technical Context
The TPS650250RHBR implements three independent synchronous buck regulators with internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) ≤ 261 mΩ / 260 mΩ for DCDC1), fixed 2.25 MHz oscillator (±13.3%), and automatic transition between PWM (forced or light-load) and PFM (light-load efficiency optimization) modes controlled by the MODE pin. Each converter features soft-start (750 µs ramp), overcurrent protection (ILIMF = 1.75–2.15 A for DCDC1), and thermal shutdown at 160 °C.
Its LDO section includes two externally adjustable 200 mA LDOs (VLDO1/VLDO2) with 1.0 V feedback reference, ±1% output accuracy, and <10 µs load regulation time, plus a dedicated 30 mA Vdd_alive LDO with 1.0 V fixed output and ±1% accuracy - all supplied from a common VINLDO input (1.5–6.5 V). The device uses separate analog (AGND1/AGND2) and power grounds (PGND1–PGND3) for noise isolation.

Pinout & Package
TPS650250RHBR is housed in a thermally enhanced 32-pin VQFN package (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected internally to AGND. The package supports high-power density layout with separate analog and power ground pins, and dedicated switch-node (Lx) and power-ground (PGNDx) terminals per buck channel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINDCDC1, VINDCDC2, VINDCDC3 | Input supply for respective buck converters | Must be tied together and to VCC; shared 2.5–6 V input source for all three DC-DC stages |
| L1, L2, L3 | Buck switch node | Connects directly to inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and switching losses |
| PGND1, PGND2, PGND3 | Power ground return for each buck stage | Separate paths prevent cross-coupling; must connect to thermal pad and AGND at single point |
| DEFDCDC1, DEFDCDC2 | Default output voltage select | Logic-level inputs: GND = 2.8 V / 1.8 V; VCC = 3.3 V / 2.5 V; resistor divider enables full 0.6–VIN adjustment |
| DEFDCDC3 | Core voltage programming input | Requires external resistor divider only - no logic mode; enables real-time DVFS during processor operation |
| EN_DCDC1–EN_DCDC3 | Independent enable control | Active-high logic; allows precise power-up/down sequencing of I/O, memory, and core rails |
| VINLDO | LDO input supply | Accepts 1.5–6.5 V; typically sourced from VDCDC1 or VDCDC2 to optimize efficiency |
| VLDO1, VLDO2 | LDO regulated outputs | 200 mA each; output voltage set by external FB_LDO1/FB_LDO2 resistors with 1.0 V reference |
| Vdd_alive | Always-on LDO output | Fixed 1.0 V, 30 mA - powers RTC or wake-up circuitry even when main rails are off |
| PWRFAIL / PWRFAIL_SNS | VBAT monitoring interface | Open-drain fault signal triggered when sensed battery voltage falls below 1.0 V ±2% threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple synchronous buck architecture | Enables compact, high-efficiency multi-rail power delivery without external MOSFETs or controllers |
| Independent enable and mode control | Per-rail EN pins + global MODE pin allow flexible sequencing, dynamic voltage scaling, and ultra-low-power states |
| Resistor-programmable outputs | All five regulated outputs (3 buck + 2 LDO) support external resistor dividers for precise voltage setting and field tuning |
| Integrated thermal protection | 160 °C shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions |
| Low-noise analog partitioning | Dedicated AGND1/AGND2 pins and isolated feedback paths ensure stable LDO regulation and accurate voltage sensing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65910A3RSLR | Higher integration: adds I²C interface, real-time clock, and GPIOs; 4 buck + 5 LDO channels; 48-pin VQFN | Requires firmware control and board space for I²C pull-ups; better suited for complex SoC platforms needing programmable sequencing | Select when system demands dynamic register-based configuration, not just hardware-defined voltage settings |
| MAX8649ETE+T | Single 1.5 A buck + dual 300 mA LDOs; no core-rail DVFS; 16-pin TQFN; lacks PFM mode and PWRFAIL monitor | Lower cost and smaller footprint but limited to simpler applications without memory or core voltage scaling needs | Select for cost-sensitive portable devices with fixed-voltage requirements and minimal rail count |
Compared with TPS65910A3RSLR, the TPS650250RHBR offers simpler hardware-only configuration and lower gate count, while MAX8649ETE+T trades integration for reduced size and cost - making TPS650250RHBR optimal for mid-tier ARM smartphones where sequenced fixed/adjustable rails and battery monitoring are essential but full I²C programmability is unnecessary.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the TPS650250RHBR support?
The TPS650250RHBR supports an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 6.0 V on VINDCDC1/VINDCDC2/VINDCDC3 and VCC pins, and 1.5 V to 6.5 V on VINLDO. This allows direct operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V typical) or Li-Polymer batteries, as well as regulated intermediate supplies. All three buck inputs must be tied together and to VCC per datasheet layout guidance.
How is the output voltage of the TPS650250RHBR's core rail (VDCDC3) configured?
The TPS650250RHBR's VDCDC3 output voltage is configured exclusively via an external resistor divider connected to the DEFDCDC3 pin - unlike DEFDCDC1/DEFDCDC2, it does not accept logic-level inputs. The divider sets VDCDC3 in the range 0.6 V to VINDCDC3, enabling dynamic voltage scaling for ARM processor cores. The feedback reference is internal and fixed at 1.0 V.
Does the TPS650250RHBR support power sequencing between its rails?
Yes, the TPS650250RHBR supports hardware-based power sequencing through independent enable pins: EN_DCDC1, EN_DCDC2, EN_DCDC3, EN_LDO, and EN_Vdd_alive are all active-high and can be driven by external timing circuits or microcontroller GPIOs. This allows precise control over turn-on/off order of I/O, memory, core, and always-on rails to meet SoC requirements.
What is the purpose of the PWRFAIL and PWRFAIL_SNS pins on the TPS650250RHBR?
The PWRFAIL_SNS pin on the TPS650250RHBR is an input to an internal comparator that monitors battery voltage; when it falls below 1.0 V ±2%, the open-drain PWRFAIL output asserts low. This provides early warning of battery depletion for system-level shutdown or data save operations - critical in portable devices where uncontrolled power loss could corrupt memory or file systems.
Can the TPS650250RHBR operate in forced PWM mode across all load conditions?
Yes, the TPS650250RHBR can operate in forced PWM mode across all load conditions by driving the MODE pin high. In this mode, all three buck converters bypass PFM operation and maintain fixed 2.25 MHz switching, ensuring predictable EMI profile and consistent transient response - ideal for noise-sensitive applications like audio or RF subsystems where variable-frequency PFM could interfere.
