Product details
Overview
TPS652170 from Texas Instruments is a programmable power management IC (PMIC) designed for battery-powered systems and 5-V line-powered applications, delivering three 1.2-A synchronous buck converters (DCDC1–DCDC3), two adjustable LDOs (LDO1/LDO2), two configurable load switches (LS1/LS2), a WLED boost driver, and integrated battery charger with 2-A power path and 700-mA linear charging. It powers Sitara AM335x processors in portable navigation and industrial tablet systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS652170 datasheet, TPS652170 pinout, TPS652170 application, or TPS652170 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.25-MHz fixed-frequency DC/DC operation, I²C address 0x24 with password-protected registers, 6-mm × 6-mm VQFN-48 package, thermal regulation, and support for DDR3/DDR3L memory rail sequencing (VDDQ/2, VTT, VREFCA).
Technical Context
The TPS652170 integrates a dual-input (USB/AC) power path with dynamic power path management (DPPM), enabling seamless transition between input sources while regulating SYS voltage. Its three buck converters operate at 2.25 MHz with ±2% output accuracy in PWM mode and support 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout-critical for core (VDD_CORE), memory (VDDS_DDR), and I/O (VDDSHVx) rails in AM335x-based designs.
Two programmable LDOs (LDO1: 1–3.3 V, LDO2: 0.9–3.3 V) and two configurable load switches (LS1/LS2: 1.5–3.3 V as LDOs or 1.8–5.8 V as switches) provide flexible auxiliary rail generation. The WLED boost converter supports two 10-LED strings at 25 mA each with 38-V open-LED protection and internally generated PWM dimming (100–1000 Hz).

Pinout & Package
The TPS652170 is housed in a 48-pin VQFN package (6.0 mm × 6.0 mm, 0.4-mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND for enhanced thermal performance in high-power-density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN_DCDC1 / VIN_DCDC2 / VIN_DCDC3 | DC/DC input supply | Must be tied to SYS pin; provides common input source for all three buck regulators, simplifying layout and reducing input filtering components. |
| L1 / L2 / L3 | Buck switch node | Connects to respective inductor; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (10–22 µF) and 1.5–2.2 µH inductor per channel for stable 2.25-MHz operation. |
| VLDO1 / VLDO2 | LDO output | Programmable outputs for precision analog supplies (e.g., VDDA_ADC, VDDS_PLL); each supports 100-mA load with ±2% accuracy and 200-mV dropout at full load. |
| LS1_IN / LS1_OUT / LS2_IN / LS2_OUT | Load switch I/O | Configurable as LDOs (1.5–3.3 V) or load switches (1.8–5.8 V); supports 200-mA output when used as LDOs, 200-mA short-circuit protected switching when used as load switches. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface | Standard two-wire bus (address 0x24); supports password-protected register writes to prevent accidental reconfiguration of power sequencing or protection thresholds. |
| BAT_SENSE | Battery voltage monitoring | Direct connection to battery terminal enables accurate state-of-charge estimation and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2% accuracy across temperature. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65217C | Same pinout and feature set but lacks WLED boost driver and has reduced I²C register protection; no password-protected registers. | Targeted at cost-sensitive AM335x designs without display backlight requirements. | Select TPS65217C only if WLED functionality is unused and simplified register security suffices. |
| TPS65217D | Includes WLED driver and password-protected registers like TPS652170, but rated for –40°C to +85°C (not +105°C) and lacks thermal regulation in charger. | Suitable for commercial-grade tablets and consumer navigation where extended temperature range is not required. | Choose TPS65217D for lower-cost alternatives in non-industrial environments; avoid for 105°C-rated applications. |
Compared with TPS65217C and TPS65217D, the TPS652170 uniquely combines industrial temperature rating (+105°C), full thermal regulation in charging, and password-protected I²C-making it the only option qualified for mission-critical 5-V industrial equipment and automotive-adjacent portable navigation systems.

FAQ
What is the primary application target for the TPS652170?
The TPS652170 is primarily designed to power Texas Instruments' Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processors in portable and 5-V line-powered systems. It delivers tightly regulated core (VDD_CORE), memory (VDDS_DDR, VTT, VREFCA), and I/O (VDDSHVx) rails while integrating battery charging, USB/AC power path management, and WLED backlight driving-all within a single 6-mm × 6-mm VQFN-48 package. Its –40°C to +105°C rating makes the TPS652170 especially suited for industrial tablets and rugged navigation equipment.
Does the TPS652170 support DDR3L memory voltage requirements?
Yes, the TPS652170 directly supports DDR3L memory voltage requirements through its programmable DCDC3 buck converter, which can be configured to output 1.35 V (±2%) with up to 1.2 A continuous current-matching DDR3L VDDQ specifications. Its VTT and VREFCA rails are derived from the same regulated output, ensuring tracking accuracy critical for DDR signal integrity. The TPS652170 datasheet explicitly lists "DDR3 or DDR3L" and "VTT, VREFCA" among supported functions.
How does the TPS652170 handle power source transitions between USB and AC adapter?
The TPS652170 uses an integrated dual-input power path with automatic source selection and 150-µs switching time between AC and USB inputs. It monitors VAC and VUSB relative to battery voltage using programmable thresholds (VIN(DT) = 190 mV, VIN(NDT) = 125 mV) and applies deglitching (22.5 ms) to prevent false detection. When both sources are present, the higher-priority source (configurable via I²C) powers SYS; during transitions, the 2-A power path ensures uninterrupted system operation without brownout. This behavior is confirmed in the TPS652170 electrical characteristics table under "POWER PATH TIMING".
Can the TPS652170's LDOs be used to power analog subsystems like ADCs or oscillators?
Yes, the TPS652170's LDO1 and LDO2 are specifically designed for noise-sensitive analog subsystems. LDO1 (1.0–3.3 V, ±2% accuracy, 100-mA max) and LDO2 (0.9–3.3 V, ±2% accuracy) provide low-noise, well-regulated supplies ideal for VDDA_ADC, VDDS_OSC, VDDS_PLL, and VDDS_SRAM rails. Their typical 15-µA quiescent current and 200-mV dropout at 100 mA ensure efficiency and stability. The TPS652170 datasheet explicitly lists "VDDA_ADC, VDDS_OSC, VDDS_PLL, VDDS_SRAM" as supported outputs.
What thermal management features does the TPS652170 include for battery charging?
The TPS652170 includes comprehensive thermal management for battery charging: a dedicated TS pin for NTC thermistor monitoring (supporting 10-kΩ and 100-kΩ types), junction temperature regulation that reduces charge current above 111–123°C, and independent charge safety timers (4–8 h) and precharge timers (30–60 min). These features are documented in the "Battery Charger" and "Thermal Regulation" sections of the TPS652170 datasheet, with measured TJ(REG) values and timer ranges provided in Table 6.5. The thermal pad in the VQFN-48 package further enhances heat dissipation.
