Product details
Overview
TPS65218B1PHPT from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated power management IC (PMIC) designed for ARM® Cortex™-A8/A9 SoCs and FPGAs in industrial and portable applications. It integrates six DC-DC converters (three adjustable buck, one buck-boost, two low-IQ backup rails), one adjustable LDO, three load switches, supervisor logic, and I²C control (address 0x24). Key confirmed specs include DCDC1–DCDC3 rated at 1.8 A with 0.85–1.675 V adjustability, DCDC4 delivering 1.6 A at 3.3 V default, and operation across –40°C to +105°C.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65218B1PHPT datasheet, TPS65218B1PHPT pinout, TPS65218B1PHPT application, or TPS65218B1PHPT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, I²C register mapping context, power-good behavior per rail, and real-world implementation constraints for HMI, ePOS, and industrial automation designs.
Technical Context
The TPS65218B1PHPT implements independent regulation domains: main supply (DCDC1–DCDC4, LDO1, LS1–LS3) and battery-backup domain (DCDC5/DCDC6), each with dedicated PGOOD outputs (PGOOD and PGOOD_BU). Its I²C interface supports dynamic voltage scaling and sequencing control, with configurable power-up defaults via DC34_SEL and PB monitoring for system wake-up.
Supervision includes ±4% tolerance on DCDC1/DCDC2, ±5% on DCDC3/DCDC4/LDO1, UVLO with hysteresis, overtemperature warning/shutdown, and separate nPFO output tied to PFI resistor divider. All DC-DCs feature active output discharge and 100% duty-cycle capability for ultra-low dropout operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V–5.5 V for DCDC1–DCDC4 and LDO1; 2.2 V–5.5 V for DCDC5/DCDC6 - supports Li-ion battery and 5-V adapter inputs simultaneously. |
| DCDC1–DCDC3 Output | 1.1 V / 1.1 V / 1.2 V default, 0.85–1.675 V / 0.85–1.675 V / 0.9–3.4 V adjustable - enables precise core/memory rail tuning for Cortex-A8/A9 SoCs. |
| DCDC4 Output | 3.3 V default, 1.175–3.4 V adjustable, 1.6 A max - provides flexible I/O or peripheral rail with buck-boost topology for wide VIN variation. |
| DCDC5/DCDC6 Output | 1.0 V / 1.8 V fixed, 25 mA max - low-quiescent current backup rails powered from system or coin-cell battery (CC/SYS_BU path). |
| LDO1 Output | 1.8 V default, 0.9–3.4 V adjustable, 400 mA max, 445 mA short-circuit limit - supplies noise-sensitive analog or interface circuitry with tight regulation. |
| I²C Address | 0x24 (7-bit) - enables multi-device bus configuration without address conflict in dense PMIC systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +105°C - qualified for extended industrial environments including factory automation and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
TPS65218B1PHPT uses a 48-pin VQFN package (RSL variant) with 6.00 mm × 6.00 mm body size and 0.4-mm pitch, featuring an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in high-power-density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN_DCDC1 | Main input for DCDC1 | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V input; must be decoupled near pin to support 1.8 A switching current. |
| FB1–FB3, FB5–FB6 | Voltage feedback nodes | Resistor-divider inputs setting output voltage; require stable PCB routing to avoid noise-induced regulation error. |
| PGOOD / PGOOD_BU | Power-good status outputs | Open-drain (PGOOD) and push-pull (PGOOD_BU) signals indicate regulation status of main and backup domains independently. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Supports 400 kHz operation; require external pull-ups to VBIAS; enable dynamic rail reconfiguration and fault logging. |
| DC34_SEL | Power-up default selector | Resistor-to-ground configures whether DCDC3 or DCDC4 powers up first - critical for safe SoC boot sequencing. |
| IN_nCC | Backup source indicator | Push-pull output signaling whether DCDC5/DCDC6 are sourced from IN_BU (high) or CC (low) - used for battery health monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent Power-Good Outputs | PGOOD monitors DCDC1–DCDC4 and LDO1; PGOOD_BU monitors DCDC5/DCDC6 - enables granular system-level power validation without software polling. |
| Active Output Discharge | Enabled on DCDC1–DCDC4, LDO1, and LS1–LS3 - ensures rapid rail collapse during shutdown to prevent latch-up or back-powering of downstream circuitry. |
| Battery-Backup Power Path | DCDC5/DCDC6 automatically switch between IN_BU and CC sources - maintains RTC and SRAM retention during main power loss without external diode-or circuitry. |
| Configurable Load Switch Current Limits | LS2 and LS3 support 100 mA / 500 mA selection via ILIM[1:0] bits - allows optimized trade-off between inrush current control and steady-state conduction loss. |
| Always-On Push-Button Monitor | Dedicated PB input with debounced wake-up capability - eliminates need for external microcontroller GPIO monitoring during deep-sleep states. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65217CZQQ | Same 48-pin VQFN package; identical DCDC1–DCDC4/LDO1/LS1–LS3 architecture but lacks DCDC5/DCDC6 backup rails and SYS_BU/CC power-path logic. | Suitable only for non-battery-backed applications; cannot maintain RTC/SRAM during main power loss. | Select when backup domain functionality is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized over retention capability. |
| TPS65910A3RSLR | 48-pin VQFN, –40°C to +105°C rating; includes six DC-DCs and three LDOs but uses different I²C address (0x2D), no DC34_SEL pin, and no dedicated PGOOD_BU output. | Requires firmware adaptation for sequencing; lacks hardware-based backup rail supervision and coin-cell auto-switchover. | Choose when existing firmware supports alternate register maps and backup retention is handled externally. |
Compared with TPS65218B1PHPT, TPS65217CZQQ omits battery-backup capability entirely, while TPS65910A3RSLR shifts backup management to software - making TPS65218B1PHPT the only option with hardware-enforced, zero-software-overhead retention for industrial edge devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by DCDC4 in the TPS65218B1PHPT?
The TPS65218B1PHPT supports up to 1.6 A continuous output current on DCDC4, which operates as an adjustable buck-boost converter with a default output of 3.3 V and adjustable range from 1.175 V to 3.4 V. This rail is designed to maintain regulation across wide input variations typical in battery-to-adapter transition scenarios.
Does the TPS65218B1PHPT support automatic switchover between main supply and coin-cell battery?
Yes, the TPS65218B1PHPT supports automatic switchover via its integrated battery-backup power path. When main supply (IN_BU) fails, DCDC5 and DCDC6 seamlessly draw power from the coin-cell battery (CC) without external circuitry, signaled by the IN_nCC pin going low. This ensures uninterrupted operation of RTC and SRAM.
What is the I²C address of the TPS65218B1PHPT and what timing does it support?
The TPS65218B1PHPT uses a fixed 7-bit I²C address of 0x24 and supports standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) operation. Timing requirements specify tHOLD ≥ 0.6 µs and tLOW ≥ 1.3 µs at 400 kHz, ensuring compatibility with most microcontroller I²C peripherals without additional level-shifting.
How does the TPS65218B1PHPT handle power-good signaling for backup and main domains?
The TPS65218B1PHPT provides two independent power-good outputs: PGOOD (open-drain) monitors DCDC1–DCDC4 and LDO1, while PGOOD_BU (push-pull) monitors only DCDC5 and DCDC6. This separation allows system controllers to validate main and backup domains separately - critical for fail-safe boot and retention assurance.
Can the TPS65218B1PHPT operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the TPS65218B1PHPT is fully characterized and guaranteed to operate from –40°C to +105°C ambient temperature. This includes all DC-DC converters, LDO, load switches, supervisor functions, and I²C interface - making it suitable for uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor deployed equipment.
