Product details
Overview
TPS65051QRSMRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified 6-channel power management IC integrating two synchronous step-down converters (1 A DCDC1, 0.6 A DCDC2) and four low-input-voltage LDOs (two 400-mA, two 200-mA), all with independent enable control and external voltage programming via resistor dividers. It operates from a single Li-ion/Li-polymer cell (2.5 V–6 V input) and targets processor-based infotainment and cluster systems requiring tightly sequenced, low-noise rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65051QRSMRQ1 datasheet, TPS65051QRSMRQ1 pinout, TPS65051QRSMRQ1 application, or TPS65051QRSMRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25-MHz fixed-frequency PWM/PSM dual-mode operation, ±1% output accuracy in PWM mode, 32-μA typical quiescent current for both DC-DCs, 180° out-of-phase switching to reduce input ripple, and automotive-grade thermal performance up to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The TPS65051QRSMRQ1 implements voltage-mode control with input voltage feed-forward for fast line/load regulation in its two synchronous buck converters, supporting dynamic voltage positioning to improve transient response during light-to-heavy load steps. Each converter features internal soft-start, 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation, and adaptive dead-time control to prevent shoot-through.
Its four LDOs operate across 1.5 V–6.5 V input range with 1-V feedback reference, ±2% output accuracy, 70-dB PSRR at 10 kHz, and integrated 350-Ω discharge resistors active during disable. The RESET function uses a comparator with 1-V threshold and 100-ms delay, configurable via external THRESHOLD and HYSTERESIS pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DCDC1 Output Current | 1 A maximum - supports I/O rail for automotive processors or FPGAs without external current boosting |
| DCDC2 Output Current | 600 mA maximum - supplies core voltage for low-power microcontrollers or DSPs |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25 MHz typical - enables use of small 1.5–2.2 μH inductors and 10–22 μF ceramic output capacitors |
| LDO Output Accuracy | ±2% over load/line/temperature - ensures stable logic-level compliance for interface peripherals |
| Quiescent Current (Both DC-DC) | 32 μA typical in PFM mode - extends battery runtime in always-on automotive modules |
| Operating Ambient Range | –40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and dashboard applications |
| RESET Delay Time | 100 ms nominal - provides deterministic system reset timing after brownout recovery |
Pinout & Package
TPS65051QRSMRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 4-mm × 4-mm 32-pin VQFN package (RSM) with exposed thermal pad connected to AGND/PGND. Pin count and layout support full independent control of all six regulators plus comprehensive monitoring and sequencing functions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN_DCDC1 (Pin 25) | Enable input for DCDC1 | Active-high digital control - allows precise power-up sequencing of I/O rail before core rail |
| FB_DCDC1 (Pin 24) | Feedback input for DCDC1 | Connects to external resistor divider - sets output voltage from 0.6 V to VIN with ±1% accuracy in PWM mode |
| DEFDCDC2 (Pin 17) | Feedback pin for DCDC2 | Center-tap connection point for external resistor divider - configures core rail voltage independently of DCDC1 |
| EN_LDO1–EN_LDO4 (Pins 27, 28, 15, 16) | Independent LDO enable inputs | Four separate logic-level controls - enables flexible rail activation order and dynamic power gating |
| THRESHOLD (Pin 7) | Reset comparator input | Monitors system supply voltage - triggers open-drain RESET (Pin 14) when falling below 1.0 V threshold |
| MODE (Pin 32) | DC-DC operating mode select | GND = auto PFM/PWM; VI = forced PWM - selectable per system noise vs. efficiency trade-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 180° out-of-phase DC-DC operation | Reduces RMS input current by ~30%, allowing smaller 1-μF input capacitors and lower EMI |
| Dynamic voltage positioning (DVP) | Maintains +1% nominal output at light load, dropping to –1% at heavy load - improves transient headroom without external compensation |
| Integrated LDO discharge resistors | 350 Ω per LDO - actively pulls VLDOx to GND during disable, preventing floating outputs and enabling fast rail collapse |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | 1.8 V typical threshold at VCC pin - prevents erratic startup and deep battery discharge in automotive cold-crank conditions |
| Power-save mode quiescent current | 32 μA total for both DC-DCs - achieves >90% efficiency down to 100-μA load, critical for always-on telematics modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65053QRSMRQ1 | Same pinout and feature set but adds integrated watchdog timer and enhanced RESET flexibility; higher BOM cost | Required where system-level fault detection and autonomous recovery are mandated (e.g., ASIL-B modules) | Select when watchdog functionality is needed; otherwise TPS65051QRSMRQ1 offers identical power delivery at lower cost |
| TPS65056QRSMRQ1 | Omits LDO3/LDO4; retains DCDC1, DCDC2, LDO1, LDO2 - reduced channel count and smaller footprint | Suitable for simpler systems needing only two LDOs (e.g., basic MCU + peripheral rail) | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with fewer regulated rails; not a drop-in replacement due to missing LDO3/LDO4 pins and functions |
Compared with TPS65053QRSMRQ1 and TPS65056QRSMRQ1, the TPS65051QRSMRQ1 uniquely balances full 6-channel capability with minimal bill-of-materials overhead-retaining all four LDOs for flexible peripheral powering while omitting non-essential features like watchdog timers to optimize cost and design simplicity for mainstream automotive infotainment.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by TPS65051QRSMRQ1 for its DC-DC converters?
The TPS65051QRSMRQ1 supports an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 6 V for its DC-DC converters (VINDCDC1/2). This range accommodates standard Li-ion/Li-polymer battery voltages including full charge (4.2 V), nominal (3.7 V), and end-of-discharge (~2.8 V), while maintaining regulation through the entire usable battery window. Operation above 6 V risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and noise performance of TPS65051QRSMRQ1?
When the MODE pin is pulled low (GND), TPS65051QRSMRQ1 automatically switches between pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads and fixed-frequency PWM at moderate/heavy loads-maximizing efficiency across the full load range. When pulled high (VI), it forces continuous PWM operation, eliminating frequency variation and associated audible noise or EMI peaks but reducing light-load efficiency by ~15–20% due to constant switching losses.
Can TPS65051QRSMRQ1 generate a system reset signal, and how is it configured?
Yes, TPS65051QRSMRQ1 provides an open-drain active-low RESET signal (Pin 14) with a nominal 100-ms delay. It is triggered by an internal comparator monitoring the THRESHOLD pin (Pin 7). The reset threshold is set to 1.0 V ±20 mV, and hysteresis is adjustable via the HYSTERESIS pin (Pin 8) to prevent chatter during slow voltage ramps. No external components are required for basic operation.
What is the purpose of the DEFDCDC2 pin on TPS65051QRSMRQ1, and how is it used?
The DEFDCDC2 pin (Pin 17) serves as the feedback node for the DCDC2 converter's output voltage setting. Unlike DCDC1 which uses FB_DCDC1, DCDC2 requires connection of the DEFDCDC2 pin to the center tap of an external resistor divider between VLDO2 and GND. This configuration allows independent programming of DCDC2's output (e.g., 1.2 V core) without affecting DCDC1's I/O rail voltage, enabling optimized power delivery for heterogeneous processor subsystems.
Does TPS65051QRSMRQ1 support independent enable control for all six regulators?
Yes, TPS65051QRSMRQ1 provides six dedicated enable inputs: EN_DCDC1 (Pin 25), EN_DCDC2 (Pin 26), EN_LDO1 (Pin 27), EN_LDO2 (Pin 28), EN_LDO3 (Pin 15), and EN_LDO4 (Pin 16). Each is active-high and electrically isolated, allowing full software- or hardware-controlled sequencing-such as powering DCDC1 first for I/O, then DCDC2 for core, followed by LDOs in priority order-to meet processor boot requirements and minimize inrush current.
