Product details
Overview
TPS65910AA1RSLR from Texas Instruments is an integrated power-management unit (PMU) designed for OMAP- and AM335x-based embedded systems, featuring three step-down DC-DC converters (VDD1, VDD2, VIO), one step-up 5-V DC-DC converter (VDD3), eight LDOs, SmartReflex™ Class 3 interface, RTC with 32.768-kHz crystal support, and embedded power controller for sequenced startup-used in industrial handhelds and AM335x-based single-board computers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65910AA1RSLR datasheet, TPS65910AA1RSLR pinout, TPS65910AA1RSLR application, or TPS65910AA1RSLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-QFN package, dual-core SmartReflex voltage control, 3.6-V max input on VDDIO, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with AM335x processors requiring DDR2 memory support.
Technical Context
The TPS65910AA1RSLR implements a dedicated embedded power controller (EPC) to manage complex power sequencing for OMAP/AM335x SoCs, including controlled ramp-up of VDD1/VDD2 cores before I/O and memory rails. Its dual SmartReflex Class 3 interfaces enable dynamic voltage scaling via SR-I2C, while the RTC subsystem integrates oscillator, calendar, alarm, and backup battery management with VRTC LDO.
DC-DC regulation uses synchronous buck topology for VDD1, VDD2, and VIO (all with internal FETs), and boost topology for VDD3; all switching regulators support external synchronization at 3 MHz. LDOs-including VAUX1/VAUX2 (300 mA each), VDAC/VPLL (for video/PLL supplies), and VRTC (backup-capable)-are fully I²C-controllable with programmable enable and voltage settings.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65910A1RSL | Same architecture but supports broader OMAP processor family (AM17xx, AM18xx, DM3730); lacks AM335x-specific boot strapping | Targeted at legacy OMAP3/DM37xx designs, not optimized for AM335x DDR2 timing | Select only if migrating from OMAP-based platforms; not drop-in for AM335x due to missing BOOT strap mapping |
| TPS65217CRSLR | Successor PMU with enhanced efficiency, lower quiescent current, and integrated fuel gauge; uses different I²C register map and pinout | Designed for newer AM335x/AM437x systems with deeper sleep modes and battery telemetry needs | Requires PCB redesign and firmware update; preferred for new designs needing longer battery life and state-of-charge monitoring |
Compared with TPS65910A1RSL, TPS65910AA1RSLR adds AM335x DDR2 boot configuration and tighter VIO regulation for DDR2 VDDQ compliance; versus TPS65217CRSLR, it lacks fuel gauge and has higher IQ but offers proven qualification for industrial AM335x deployments.

FAQ
What is the primary processor compatibility of the TPS65910AA1RSLR?
The TPS65910AA1RSLR is explicitly qualified for TI's AM335x processor family with DDR2 memory interface, as confirmed in Table 3-1 of the SWCS046U datasheet. It uses BOOT0/BOOT1 strapping to configure power-up sequencing aligned with AM335x DDR2 initialization requirements - distinguishing it from generic TPS65910 variants.
Does the TPS65910AA1RSLR support external 3-MHz clock synchronization for its DC-DC converters?
Yes, the TPS65910AA1RSLR supports external clock synchronization via the GPIO_CKSYNC pin, which accepts a 3-MHz input to align switching of all DC-DC converters. This feature reduces EMI in noise-sensitive applications and is documented in Section 1.1 and Figure 1-1 of the SWCS046U datasheet.
What is the maximum output current capability of the VAUX2 LDO in the TPS65910AA1RSLR?
The VAUX2 LDO in the TPS65910AA1RSLR delivers up to 300 mA in active mode, as updated in revision SWCS046S (September 2013) - an increase from the earlier 150 mA rating. This supports higher-current auxiliary loads such as display backlight drivers or multi-sensor interfaces.
How does the TPS65910AA1RSLR handle RTC backup during main power loss?
The TPS65910AA1RSLR uses the VBACKUP pin to accept a supercapacitor or coin cell (5–2000 mF), feeding the VRTC LDO which maintains 1.8-V RTC operation independently. The VRTC LDO input voltage range extends to 5.5 V in backup mode (SWCS046R), ensuring robust timekeeping across wide backup source variations.
Is the TPS65910AA1RSLR pin-compatible with other TPS65910 family members like TPS65910A1RSL?
No - while the TPS65910AA1RSLR shares the same 48-QFN RSL package and pinout with other TPS65910x variants, its BOOT0/BOOT1 configuration and internal firmware are tailored for AM335x DDR2. TPS65910A1RSL targets OMAP3/DM37xx and requires different strapping; direct substitution may cause incorrect power sequencing.
