Product details
Overview
TPS65290LMRHFT from Texas Instruments is a low-quiescent-current, multi-mode power management IC (PMIC) integrating a 500-mA buck-boost converter, a 150-mA LDO, an always-on 10-mA LDOMINI bias rail with 400-nA IQQ, eight configurable power distribution switches, and factory-selectable I²C/SPI interface. It operates from 2.2 V to 5 V input and targets energy harvesting and battery-powered systems requiring ultra-low sleep current and dynamic rail selection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65290LMRHFT datasheet, TPS65290LMRHFT pinout, TPS65290LMRHFT application, or TPS65290LMRHFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its LDOMINI microcontroller bias supply (1.8–3.3 V, ±5% accuracy), PFM/PWM buck-boost efficiency down to μA loads, integrated recovery comparator, and 24-pin QFN (RHF) package with thermal pad.
Technical Context
The TPS65290LMRHFT implements a dual-mode buck-boost topology supporting both standalone operation (via BB_EN) and serial bus control (I²C or SPI), with programmable PFM/PWM transition and forced-PWM mode for noise-sensitive applications. Its LDOMINI output is a regulated low-IQQ LDO factory-configured for 10 mA max load and 400-nA quiescent current.
Eight independent power switches-including PWR_BB1, PWR_LDO1, and PWR_VMAX-enable flexible system-level power routing between BB_OUT, LDO_OUT, VMAX, and VIN. The device integrates a voltage recovery comparator with 8-step selectable rising/falling thresholds (1.7–3.1 V) and supports automatic power path arbitration via VMAX analog multiplexer.

FAQ
What is the factory-configured interface mode for TPS65290LMRHFT?
The TPS65290LMRHFT is factory-configured for I²C interface operation. Pins MOSI/SDA, SCL/SCK, and CS function as I²C data, clock, and chip select respectively. Internal 10-kΩ pull-up resistors eliminate need for external components, and the interface supports standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) speeds per TI SLVSBY5A datasheet.
How does the LDOMINI output of TPS65290LMRHFT differ from the main LDO?
The LDOMINI output (VMICRO) in TPS65290LMRHFT is a dedicated 10-mA, 400-nA IQQ low-dropout regulator optimized for microcontroller bias during deep sleep. Unlike the main 150-mA LDO (LDO_OUT), LDOMINI features tighter load regulation (±5% up to 10 mA), lower quiescent current, and factory-programmed voltage range (1.8–3.3 V in 200-mV steps), but is not intended for high-current system rails.
Can TPS65290LMRHFT operate without external inductors or capacitors?
No. TPS65290LMRHFT requires external components for core functionality: a 3.3-μH inductor and two 4.7-μF output capacitors for the buck-boost converter, a 2.2-μF capacitor on LDO_IN, and a 2-μF capacitor on LDO_OUT. However, it integrates internal resistive dividers, compensation networks, and I²C pull-up resistors - reducing total BOM count by up to seven passive components versus discrete solutions.
What is the role of the VMAX pin in TPS65290LMRHFT?
The VMAX pin in TPS65290LMRHFT outputs the highest voltage among VIN and BB_OUT, acting as an analog power-path multiplexer. It enables automatic selection of the strongest available source for downstream circuits (e.g., MCU VDD), eliminating need for external diode-ORing or controller logic. VMAX is decoupled with a 1-μF ceramic capacitor and supports three configurations: MAX(VIN, BB_OUT), VIN-only, or MAX minus diode drop.
Does TPS65290LMRHFT support hardware-based power sequencing?
Yes. TPS65290LMRHFT supports hardware sequencing via CE (chip enable) and BB_EN pins. Driving CE low forces deep-sleep mode while enabling VMICRO, allowing MCU to retain state; asserting BB_EN high independently starts the buck-boost converter. This enables deterministic, glitch-free power-up of subsystems without firmware intervention - critical for fail-safe industrial and medical devices.
