Product details
Overview
TPS650947A0RSKR from Texas Instruments is a power-management IC (PMIC) designed for Intel™ Apollo Lake platforms, integrating six synchronous buck regulators (three controllers + three converters), three adjustable LDOs, VTT termination, and three slew-controlled load switches. It delivers 5A/7A/21A on BUCK1/BUCK6/BUCK2, supports I²C DVS from 0.5V–1.45V in 10mV steps, and operates from 5.6V–21V input for battery- or wall-powered mobile computing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS650947A0RSKR datasheet, TPS650947A0RSKR pinout, TPS650947A0RSKR application, or TPS650947A0RSKR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, OTP-specific configuration (LPDDR4 support, VTT enabled, Forced PWM mode for BUCK3–BUCK5), thermal pad package details, and validated alternative options for Intel platform power design.
Technical Context
The TPS650947A0RSKR implements two distinct regulation topologies: D-CAP2™ for high-current buck controllers (BUCK1, BUCK2, BUCK6) driving external FETs, and DCS-Control™ for low-noise, fast-transient buck converters (BUCK3, BUCK4, BUCK5) with integrated FETs. Its OTP configuration enables LPDDR4 memory support, VTT LDO activation (1.8A IOCP), and Forced PWM operation for BUCK3–BUCK5 to suppress light-load frequency switching noise.
Power sequencing is hardware-managed via SLP_S0B/SLP_S3B/SLP_S4B inputs, while I²C (0x5E, up to 1MHz) enables dynamic voltage scaling, rail enable/disable, and status monitoring. The device integrates analog references (1.25V VREF), thermal protection (THOT = 115°C), and system-level signals including PROCHOT, PCH_PWROK, and RSMRSTB for Intel platform compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 5.6V–21V for buck controllers; 4.5V–5.5V for buck converters - supports 2S/3S/4S Li-ion and 12V wall adapters. |
| BUCK2 Output Current | 21A - powers Intel VCCGI rail using external FETs; requires 0.47µH inductor and ≥180µF output capacitance. |
| DVS Resolution | 10mV steps from 0.5V–1.45V on BUCK1 & BUCK2 - enables fine-grained CPU core voltage tuning for connected standby efficiency. |
| I²C Address & Speed | 0x5E; supports Standard (100kHz), Fast (400kHz), and Fast Mode Plus (1MHz) - allows real-time rail control without timing bottlenecks. |
| VTT LDO Capability | 1.8A IOCP, VDDQ/2 output - meets DDR3L/LPDDR4 termination requirements with 2×22µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| OTP Configuration | TPS650947 variant: LPDDR4 support, VTT enabled, Forced PWM for BUCK3–BUCK5 - eliminates light-load mode switching noise in memory subsystems. |
| Thermal Performance | RθJA = 25.8°C/W (VQFN-64); thermal pad must connect to PCB ground plane - enables sustained 21A BUCK2 operation at 85°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS650947A0RSKR is housed in an 8mm × 8mm single-row VQFN-64 package (RSK) with exposed thermal pad requiring connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FBVOUT2 | Remote feedback sense for BUCK2 | Connects to VCCGI VCC SENSE from SoC - enables accurate closed-loop regulation of 21A VCCGI rail. |
| DRVH2 / DRVL2 | High-/low-side gate drivers for BUCK2 | Drive external N-channel FETs; DRVH2 rated to VSYS+5V, DRVL2 to 5V - supports high-efficiency synchronous rectification. |
| ILIM2 | Current limit set for BUCK2 | Resistor-to-ground sets valley current limit; ILIMREF = 50µA typical - configures overcurrent protection for 21A output stage. |
| VTT / VTTFB | VTT LDO output & remote feedback | VTT = VDDQ/2; VTTFB connects to capacitor positive terminal - ensures precise DDR termination voltage tracking under load transients. |
| SLP_S3B | Power state input | Falling edge initiates S3 entry; rising edge exits S3 → S0 - synchronizes PMIC state transitions with Intel platform sleep/wake protocol. |
| DATA / CLK | I²C bidirectional data & clock | Supports 1MHz Fast Mode Plus - enables rapid DVS updates and register reads during dynamic CPU frequency scaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| D-CAP2™ Buck Controllers | Enables fast transient response and no external compensation for BUCK1/BUCK2/BUCK6 - reduces BOM count and layout complexity for high-current rails. |
| DCS-Control™ Buck Converters | Provides ultra-low noise and high light-load efficiency for BUCK3/BUCK4/BUCK5 - critical for quiet VCCRAM/V1P8A/V1P24A supplies in ultrabooks. |
| Forced PWM Mode (OTP) | Eliminates audible switching noise and voltage undershoot/overshoot in BUCK3–BUCK5 at light loads - required for stable LPDDR4 memory operation. |
| VTT LDO with 1.8A IOCP | Meets JEDEC DDR3L/LPDDR4 termination specs with tight DC accuracy and fast transient response - avoids need for discrete termination solutions. |
| Hardware Power Sequencing | SLP_S0B/SLP_S3B/SLP_S4B pins directly control rail enable timing per Intel reference designs - removes dependency on firmware for safe boot/shutdown. |
Applications
| Intel Apollo Lake Tablet Power System | Ultrabook DDR4 Memory Subsystem |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Compact tablet powered by 3S Li-ion battery with NVDC architecture and LPDDR4 memory. IC Role / Device Role: Primary PMIC managing all core voltage rails (VNN, VCCGI, VDDQ, VCCRAM, V1P8A, V1P24A), VTT termination, and peripheral load switches. Use Value: Single-chip integration reduces footprint vs. discrete solution; Forced PWM mode prevents LPDDR4 timing violations during light-load operation. |
Use Scenario: Fanless ultrabook requiring low-noise, high-efficiency memory power with DDR4 interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS650945A0RSKR | Same OTP family; LPDDR4 support and VTT enabled, but uses Auto mode (not Forced PWM) for BUCK3–BUCK5. | Higher light-load switching noise; may cause DDR timing margin loss in noise-sensitive LPDDR4 systems. | Select only if system-level EMI testing confirms acceptable noise floor with Auto mode. |
| TPS650944A0RSKR | Supports LPDDR4 but disables VTT; BUCK6 default = 1.1V (vs. 1.35V); LDOA1 always-on enabled. | Not suitable for DDR3L/LPDDR4 termination; requires external VTT solution or DDR4-only memory interface. | Choose when VTT is unnecessary and lower BUCK6 voltage aligns with SoC requirements. |
Compared with TPS650945A0RSKR and TPS650944A0RSKR, the TPS650947A0RSKR uniquely combines LPDDR4 compatibility, active VTT LDO, and Forced PWM for BUCK3–BUCK5 - making it the only variant qualified for noise-critical, high-bandwidth memory subsystems in Intel Apollo Lake designs.

FAQ
What is the OTP configuration of TPS650947A0RSKR?
The TPS650947A0RSKR is factory-programmed with OTP settings for LPDDR4 memory support, enabled VTT LDO (1.8A IOCP), Forced PWM mode for BUCK3–BUCK5, and SLP_S3B-controlled SWB1_2. These settings are fixed and cannot be altered post-manufacture - ensuring consistent behavior across production units.
Does TPS650947A0RSKR support DDR3L memory?
Yes, TPS650947A0RSKR supports DDR3L through its programmable BUCK6 output (default 1.35V) and VTT LDO (VDDQ/2). While optimized for LPDDR4, its BUCK6 voltage range (0.5V–1.45V) and VTT IOCP (1.8A) meet DDR3L JEDEC specifications when configured accordingly via I²C registers.
What is the purpose of Forced PWM mode in TPS650947A0RSKR?
Forced PWM mode in TPS650947A0RSKR disables auto-mode switching in BUCK3–BUCK5, maintaining constant switching frequency even at light loads. This prevents audible noise, voltage undershoot/overshoot, and potential DDR timing violations - a requirement explicitly stated in the datasheet for LPDDR4 stability.
How is thermal management handled on TPS650947A0RSKR?
TPS650947A0RSKR uses an 8mm × 8mm VQFN-64 package with an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to the PCB ground plane using multiple vias. Its RθJB = 4.4°C/W enables effective heat transfer to the board, supporting continuous 21A BUCK2 operation at 85°C ambient when layout guidelines are followed.
Can TPS650947A0RSKR operate from a 5V input source?
No - TPS650947A0RSKR's buck controllers require 5.6V–21V input (VSYS), and its buck converters require 4.5V–5.5V (PVIN3/4/5). A 5V source falls below the 5.6V minimum for controllers and risks UVLO shutdown; it is not a valid input for primary power rails.
