Product details
Overview
TPS65131TRGERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade dual-output DC-DC converter generating independently adjustable positive (up to +15 V) and negative (down to –15 V) rails from a 2.7–5.5 V input, delivering up to 200 mA per rail with 91% peak efficiency on the positive output and 85% on the negative output-designed for OLED display bias in automotive instrument clusters and head-up displays.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65131TRGERQ1 datasheet, TPS65131TRGERQ1 pinout, TPS65131TRGERQ1 application, or TPS65131TRGERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include independent enable sequencing (ENP/ENN), power-save mode per rail (PSP/PSN), thermal shutdown (150°C), overvoltage protection on both outputs, and QFN-24 package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The TPS65131TRGERQ1 integrates two fixed-frequency PWM controllers-one boost and one inverting-sharing a common 1.213 V reference and oscillator (1.15–1.5 MHz), each operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) at full load and transitioning to discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) under light load when power-save mode is enabled. Control uses feedforward compensation with internal error amplifiers referenced to FBP and FBN pins.
It features independent soft-start (1 ms current-limit ramp), undervoltage lockout (2.35 V threshold), and dual-stage protection: overvoltage shutdown (±5% regulation deviation), thermal shutdown (150°C with 5°C hysteresis), and internal switch current limits (1.95 A typical for both boost and inverter stages).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to automotive 3.3 V or 5 V supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Positive Output Range | +0.5 V above VIN to +15 V - adjustable via external resistor divider on FBP pin; regulated to ±3% total dc accuracy. |
| Negative Output Range | –15 V to –2 V - adjustable via external divider referenced to VREF (1.213 V); FBN regulation voltage = 0 V ±24 mV. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.95 A typical (boost & inverter) - sets maximum deliverable output current based on input/output voltage ratio and inductor selection. |
| Quiescent Current | 500 µA typical - enables low-power operation in always-on automotive subsystems; drops to 0.2 µA in shutdown. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2; validated for under-hood and dashboard environments. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 34.1°C/W - requires PCB thermal pad connected to PGND for reliable operation at full load in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
TPS65131TRGERQ1 is housed in a 4 mm × 4 mm VQFN-24 package (RGE) with exposed thermal pad (to be soldered to PGND plane) and wettable flanks for solder-joint inspection. The package has no internal connections on pins 12 and 20 (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ENP (Pin 8) | Enable input for positive output | Logic HIGH (≥1.4 V) activates boost converter; enables independent power-up sequencing with soft-start. |
| ENN (Pin 10) | Enable input for negative output | Logic HIGH activates inverting converter; allows staggered turn-on/off to avoid supply rail coupling. |
| FBP (Pin 22) | Feedback input for positive output | Connects to resistor divider; regulates VPOS by comparing to internal 1.213 V reference (±24 mV tolerance). |
| FBN (Pin 16) | Feedback input for negative output | Connects to divider referenced to VREF; regulates VNEG with 0 V nominal setpoint (±24 mV tolerance). |
| BSW (Pin 7) | External PFET gate control | Drives external PMOS to disconnect boost output from input during shutdown-prevents battery drain. |
| VREF (Pin 17) | Internal reference output | 1.213 V ±13 mV reference; must be bypassed with 220 nF capacitor to AGND for stable feedback operation. |
| PGND (Pins 2,3) | Power ground | High-current return path for both converters; must be low-inductance connection to thermal pad and system GND. |
| AGND (Pin 19) | Analog ground | Reference for feedback and control circuits; should be star-connected to PGND at single point near device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +105°C ambient operation with electrical testing up to +125°C junction temperature. |
| Dual independent enable inputs | ENP and ENN allow precise sequencing of VPOS/VNEG power-up/down-critical for OLED display startup timing. |
| Per-rail power-save mode | PSP and PSN pins enable DCM operation individually, improving light-load efficiency without sacrificing regulation. |
| Integrated overvoltage protection | Shuts down respective converter if FBP or FBN deviates >5% from target-protects downstream display drivers. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at 150°C junction temp; re-enables only after cooling by ≥5°C-prevents thermal oscillation in confined spaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65132TRGERQ1 | Same pinout, higher efficiency (93% pos / 87% neg), lower quiescent current (350 µA), but no BSW pin for external PFET control. | Lacks load-disconnect capability-unsuitable where battery isolation during shutdown is mandatory. | Select when efficiency and IQ are prioritized over active load disconnect in non-critical power domains. |
| MAX17504ATP+T | Industrial-grade (not AEC-Q100), wider input range (4.5–40 V), single-output only-requires two ICs for ± rails. | Not qualified for automotive use; lacks integrated sequencing, OVP, and thermal shutdown per rail. | Consider only for non-automotive industrial displays where extended input voltage range outweighs qualification needs. |
Compared with TPS65131TRGERQ1, TPS65132TRGERQ1 offers improved efficiency and lower IQ but removes critical BSW functionality for battery-safe shutdown, while MAX17504ATP+T requires dual placement and lacks automotive qualification-making TPS65131TRGERQ1 the sole solution integrating AEC-Q100 compliance, per-rail control, and load disconnect in a single QFN-24 package.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS65131TRGERQ1 on its positive and negative rails?
The TPS65131TRGERQ1 delivers up to 200 mA on both the positive (VPOS) and negative (VNEG) outputs under typical conditions, depending on input-to-output voltage ratios and thermal management. At VIN = 3.6 V, VPOS = 10.5 V, and VNEG = –10 V, the device sustains these currents with ≤85% total efficiency. Peak switch current is limited to 1.95 A, constraining maximum output current at extreme voltage differentials-e.g., 150 mA at VPOS = 15 V with VIN = 2.7 V.
Does the TPS65131TRGERQ1 support independent power sequencing between its positive and negative outputs?
Yes, the TPS65131TRGERQ1 supports fully independent sequencing via dedicated enable pins: ENP (Pin 8) controls the boost converter (VPOS), and ENN (Pin 10) controls the inverting converter (VNEG). Each pin accepts 0 V (disable) or VIN-level (enable), allowing programmable staggered startup and shutdown-critical for preventing latch-up in OLED pixel driver ICs that require strict VPOS-before-VNEG timing.
How does the BSW pin on the TPS65131TRGERQ1 function, and is it required for all applications?
The BSW pin (Pin 7) is an open-drain output that drives the gate of an external PMOS transistor placed between the boost inductor and input supply. It goes LOW when ENP is HIGH, turning on the PMOS to connect the boost output; it goes HIGH-Z when ENP is LOW, allowing the PMOS to turn off and isolate the battery. It is required in applications where complete load disconnect during shutdown is mandated-for example, automotive modules subject to ISO 16750-2 sleep-mode current limits.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin on the TPS65131TRGERQ1, and how must it be used?
The VREF pin (Pin 17) provides a stable 1.213 V ±13 mV internal reference used by both feedback loops. It serves as the bias point for the negative-output divider (FBN), requiring the lower resistor of that divider to connect directly to VREF-not AGND. The pin must be bypassed with a 220 nF ceramic capacitor to AGND to suppress noise and ensure regulation stability; omitting this capacitor causes output drift and potential oscillation.
Can the TPS65131TRGERQ1 operate in power-save mode on only one output rail while keeping the other in PWM mode?
Yes, the TPS65131TRGERQ1 supports asymmetric power-save operation: PSP (Pin 9) enables power-save mode for the boost converter only, and PSN (Pin 11) enables it for the inverting converter only. Driving PSP HIGH and PSN LOW configures VPOS to enter DCM at light loads while VNEG remains in fixed-frequency PWM-useful when one rail powers noise-sensitive analog circuitry requiring constant switching frequency.
