Product details
Overview
TPS65290BMRHFR from Texas Instruments is a multi-mode power management IC (PMIC) featuring a 500-mA buck-boost converter, a 150-mA LDO, eight configurable power distribution switches, and a factory-configured 30-mA BuckMINI always-on bias supply with 300-nA quiescent current. It operates from 2.2 V to 5 V input and supports I²C/SPI serial control for energy harvesting, flow meter, and battery-powered industrial sensor systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65290BMRHFR datasheet, TPS65290BMRHFR pinout, TPS65290BMRHFR application, or TPS65290BMRHFR equivalent, key selection criteria include its BuckMINI low-IQ microcontroller bias rail, programmable VMAX analog multiplexer, integrated recovery comparator, and 24-pin QFN (RHF) package with thermal pad.
Technical Context
The TPS65290BMRHFR integrates three independent power domains: a PFM/PWM buck-boost converter with forced-PWM option and 1600-kHz oscillator; a 150-mA LDO with 4% output accuracy and 300-mV dropout at full load; and a dedicated 30-mA BuckMINI hysteretic converter optimized for ultra-low-quiescent-current microcontroller sleep mode operation.
Its control architecture supports factory-selectable I²C or SPI interface, GPIO-driven enable sequencing (CE, BB_EN), interrupt-driven status reporting (INT), and automatic power path arbitration via the VMAX block - which selects the higher of BB_OUT or VIN and includes configurable turn-on/turn-off thresholds and diode-drop options.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65290LMRHFR | Features 10-mA LDOMINI low-IQ LDO (400-nA IQ) instead of 30-mA BuckMINI; same pinout and interface. | Optimized for sub-10-mA microcontroller bias loads where ripple sensitivity outweighs current demand. | Select when system MCU sleep current ≤10 mA and ultra-low-noise bias is required over higher current capability. |
| TPS65290ZBRHFR | Uses zero-drop adjustable bias (100-nA IQ, unregulated VIN–1.4 V output) instead of BuckMINI; identical package and control logic. | Suited for fixed-voltage MCU cores where regulation is unnecessary and absolute minimum IQ is critical. | Choose when bias rail voltage tolerance >10% is acceptable and longest possible battery life is prioritized over output regulation. |
Compared with TPS65290LMRHFR and TPS65290ZBRHFR, the TPS65290BMRHFR uniquely delivers 30-mA regulated BuckMINI output with 300-nA quiescent current - making it the only variant capable of powering higher-current MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M4) in deep sleep while maintaining tight voltage accuracy and low ripple.

FAQ
What is the factory-configured interface mode for TPS65290BMRHFR?
The TPS65290BMRHFR is factory-configured for SPI interface operation. This is indicated by the "BM" suffix in the part number and confirmed in TI's ordering table, where TPS65290BM denotes the BuckMINI variant with SPI default. Internal pull-down resistors on CS, MOSI, and MISO ensure reliable SPI boot-up without external components.
How does the BuckMINI function differ from the main buck-boost converter in TPS65290BMRHFR?
The BuckMINI in TPS65290BMRHFR is a dedicated 30-mA hysteretic DC-DC converter optimized for ultra-low-quiescent-current operation (300 nA), whereas the main buck-boost delivers up to 500 mA with PFM/PWM control. BuckMINI requires an external 33-μH inductor and operates independently - it remains active during CE=low (deep sleep), powering VMICRO, while the main converter shuts down.
Can TPS65290BMRHFR support automatic power source selection between battery and buck-boost output?
Yes. The TPS65290BMRHFR implements this via its VMAX block, which outputs the higher of VIN (battery) or BB_OUT (buck-boost). Configuration bits allow selection of three modes: direct MAX(VIN, BB_OUT), VIN-only, or MAX(VIN, BB_OUT) minus diode drop - enabling seamless, hardware-based source arbitration without MCU intervention or external components.
What is the maximum allowable load current on the PWR_BB1 switch of TPS65290BMRHFR?
The PWR_BB1 switch in TPS65290BMRHFR supports up to 800 mA continuous current with a typical on-resistance of 100 mΩ at VIN = 3.6 V and TA = 25°C. This rating is validated under recommended operating conditions and assumes proper PCB thermal design with the exposed thermal pad soldered to ground plane.
Does TPS65290BMRHFR include thermal protection, and how does it behave under overload?
Yes, TPS65290BMRHFR features dual thermal protection: buck-boost-specific shutdown at 141°C (12°C hysteresis) and full-IC shutdown at 160°C (20°C hysteresis). During overload, the buck-boost converter limits peak switch current to 2.4 A and reduces duty cycle; if junction temperature exceeds threshold, it latches off until cool-down, while BuckMINI and LDO remain operational to sustain bias rails.
