Product details
Overview
TPS65561RGTR from Texas Instruments is an integrated photo flash charger and IGBT driver IC for xenon flash systems. It combines a 50-V integrated power switch, programmable peak current control (1.1–2.2 A), primary-side output voltage feedback, and thermal/overcurrent protection in a single 16-pin QFN package. It operates from 1.6 V to 12 V battery input and delivers fast, high-efficiency flash capacitor charging for digital still cameras.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65561RGTR datasheet, TPS65561RGTR pinout, TPS65561RGTR application, or TPS65561RGTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated IGBT gate driver (G_IGBT), XFULL charge-complete open-drain output, SW terminal voltage rating up to 50 V, and programmable I_PEAK interface for adaptive peak current control.
Technical Context
The TPS65561RGTR implements a flyback-based DC-DC converter with primary-side regulation using zero-current detection (V(ZERO) = 1–60 mV) and full-charge detection (V(FULL) = 28.6–29.4 V). Its control loop uses fixed ON time (tMAX = 50–160 µs) and variable OFF time dependent on output voltage, enabling fast charge cycles without secondary-side sensing.
It integrates dual protection logic: OVDS overvoltage shutdown at SW pin (1.35–1.95 V threshold) and thermal shutdown at TJ = 150–170 °C. The IGBT driver provides rail-to-rail G_IGBT output (PGND to VCC) with pulldown resistance of 36–70 Ω and pullup resistance of 8–19.4 Ω, synchronized to CHG and F_ON inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input voltage range | VBAT = 1.6 V to 12 V - supports single-cell Li-ion to multi-cell alkaline battery inputs |
| Switch voltage rating | V(SW) = −0.6 V to 50 V - enables safe operation with flyback transformer primary-side switching |
| Programmable peak current | I(PEAK) = 1.1 A to 2.2 A - set via analog voltage on I_PEAK pin (0.6–2.4 V range) |
| Charge completion detection | V(FULL) = 28.6–29.4 V - precise primary-side feedback eliminates optocoupler or secondary-side circuitry |
| Thermal shutdown threshold | TSD = 150–170 °C - latches off until die cools below threshold, preventing thermal runaway |
| Max ON time | tMAX = 50–160 µs - prevents indefinite conduction during low-battery or open-circuit fault conditions |
| IGBT gate drive resistance | R(IGBT1) = 8–19.4 Ω pullup / R(IGBT2) = 36–70 Ω pulldown - ensures fast, controlled IGBT turn-on/turn-off with minimal ringing |
Pinout & Package
TPS65561RGTR is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-pin VQFN package (RGT) with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and mechanical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Primary-side switch node | Connects to transformer primary; handles up to 50 V and 2.5 A peak current; monitored for OVDS and zero-current detection |
| VCC | Logic supply input | 2.7–4 V bias for internal circuitry; requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| CHG | Charge enable input | Active-high digital control: rising edge initiates charging; falling edge terminates immediately |
| F_ON | IGBT flash trigger input | High-level signal (VIH ≥ 2 V) activates G_IGBT output when CHG is low, initiating xenon tube discharge |
| G_IGBT | IGBT gate driver output | Open-drain compatible rail-to-rail output (PGND to VCC); drives external IGBT base/gate with defined pullup/pulldown resistances |
| XFULL | Charge completion indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when V(SW) exceeds V(FULL); high-impedance during charging and fault states |
| I_PEAK | Peak current programming input | Analog input (0.6–2.4 V) setting I(SW) limit; supports logic-level or DAC-driven adaptive current control |
| VBAT | Battery input supply | 1.6–12 V main power path; requires dual bypass (10-µF + 1-µF ceramics) near IC for stability |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for SW and internal switch; must connect to solid ground plane with low-inductance routing |
| NC | No internal connection | Pins 5, 8, 13, 16 - electrically isolated; no routing or termination required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 50-V power switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and associated gate-drive components, reducing BOM count and board area in flash charger designs |
| Primary-side output voltage feedback | Removes need for secondary-side optocoupler or winding, simplifying isolation and improving reliability in compact camera modules |
| Programmable peak current via analog I_PEAK | Enables dynamic adaptation of charging current based on battery state-of-charge or system load (e.g., zoom motor activity) |
| Dual-protection architecture | Combines OVDS (SW pin overvoltage), MAX ON/OFF time limits, and thermal shutdown to prevent damage during transformer short, low-battery, or overheating events |
| Charge-complete open-drain output (XFULL) | Provides direct logic-level status signal to host controller without external level-shifting or pull-up resistor dependency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar photo flash charger and IGBT driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65560RGTR | Lacks integrated IGBT driver; requires external gate driver for flash discharge; same charger core and pinout except missing G_IGBT and F_ON pins | Suitable only when external IGBT driver is acceptable and board space allows added component | Select TPS65560RGTR if system already includes a dedicated IGBT driver or requires separate control timing for charging and flash firing |
| MAX16026ETA+ | Higher V(SW) rating (60 V); includes integrated 1.2-A MOSFET but no IGBT driver; uses different control architecture (current-mode PWM) | Targeted at lower-cost, lower-performance flash systems where charge time >5 s is acceptable | Choose MAX16026ETA+ when cost sensitivity outweighs charge speed requirements and external IGBT control is feasible |
Compared with TPS65561RGTR, TPS65560RGTR removes flash discharge capability but retains identical charging performance and footprint, while MAX16026ETA+ trades integrated IGBT drive for higher voltage tolerance and simpler control at the expense of charge speed and system integration level.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the SW pin of the TPS65561RGTR?
The absolute maximum voltage on the SW pin of the TPS65561RGTR is 50 V. This rating enables safe operation with flyback transformer topologies where reflected voltage spikes may exceed input voltage. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. The device includes OVDS protection that triggers at 1.35–1.95 V above VBAT on the SW pin during switch conduction to prevent overvoltage failure before reaching the absolute maximum.
How does the TPS65561RGTR determine when the flash capacitor is fully charged?
The TPS65561RGTR determines full charge by monitoring the SW node voltage relative to VBAT. When (V(SW) − VBAT) exceeds V(FULL) = 28.6–29.4 V, the internal comparator asserts the XFULL pin low. This primary-side sensing eliminates secondary-side components. The threshold is internally trimmed and stable across temperature, ensuring accurate end-of-charge detection without external calibration.
Can the TPS65561RGTR drive an IGBT without external components?
Yes, the TPS65561RGTR can drive an external IGBT directly via its G_IGBT pin, which provides rail-to-rail output (PGND to VCC) with specified pullup (8–19.4 Ω) and pulldown (36–70 Ω) resistances. No external gate resistor or driver stage is required for standard small-signal IGBTs used in xenon flash applications. However, layout must minimize trace inductance between G_IGBT and IGBT gate to avoid oscillation.
What happens if the battery voltage drops below 1.6 V during charging with the TPS65561RGTR?
If VBAT falls below 1.6 V during operation, the TPS65561RGTR enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and halts switching. The device maintains its last known state (CHG remains latched if active) but ceases energy transfer. Once VBAT rises above 1.6 V, normal operation resumes without reset. This behavior prevents erratic charging or excessive stress on the internal switch under brownout conditions.
Is the TPS65561RGTR RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, the TPS65561RGTR is RoHS compliant (lead-free, NIPDAU finish) and rated MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year per JEDEC J-STD-020. This means it may be stored for up to one year at ≤30 °C/60% RH and requires reflow within 1 year of dry pack opening at peak temperature ≤260 °C. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to ensure compliance with thermal and mechanical specifications.
