Product details
Overview
TPS6591102A2ZRCR from Texas Instruments is an integrated power management IC (PMIC) featuring three step-down DC-DC converters (VDD1, VDD2, VIO), one external-FET controller (VDDCtrl), eight programmable LDOs, embedded power controller with EEPROM, RTC with 32.768-kHz crystal support, and nine configurable GPIOs - designed for single-cell Li-Ion or 5-V powered portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6591102A2ZRCR datasheet, TPS6591102A2ZRCR pinout, TPS6591102A2ZRCR application, or TPS6591102A2ZRCR equivalent, this device supports dynamic voltage scaling for dual-core processors, provides I²C-controlled power sequencing, integrates thermal shutdown and watchdog functions, and delivers precise 32-kHz clocking with alarm and calendar capabilities in a compact 98-ball BGA package.
Technical Context
The TPS6591102A2ZRCR implements a hierarchical power architecture with two core SMPS (VDD1/VDD2) supporting DVS via dedicated high-speed I²C interface, plus a third SMPS (VIO) for I/O and memory rails. Its embedded power controller (EPC) executes EEPROM-programmable boot-up and state-transition sequences independent of host processor control.
Real-time clock functionality includes oscillator selection (32.768-kHz crystal or internal RC), date/time/calendar registers, and alarm interrupt generation. The device supports dual I²C interfaces: one general-purpose (CTL-I²C) and a second dedicated to voltage scaling (EN1/EN2 pins repurposed as SCL/SDA), enabling concurrent system control and core rail optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Pinout & Package
TPS6591102A2ZRCR uses a 98-pin MicroStar™ Junior BGA (ZRC) package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 9.0 mm × 6.0 mm body size. Pin functions are validated per TI's official pin attributes table (SWCS049S, Rev. August 2018).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1 / SW2 / SWIO | Switch node outputs | Drive external inductors for VDD1, VDD2, and VIO SMPS; require low-ESR ceramic output capacitors |
| VFB1 / VFB2 / VFBIO | Feedback inputs | Resistor-divider inputs setting output voltage; internally biased at 0.6 V reference |
| EN1 / EN2 | Dual-function I/O | Configurable as enable signals or dedicated I²C lines for VDD1/VDD2 voltage scaling |
| OSC32KIN / OSC32KOUT | RTC oscillator interface | Supports 32.768-kHz crystal connection; internal load capacitance eliminates need for external caps |
| GPIO0–GPIO8 | Configurable digital I/O | Nine pins with programmable direction, pull-up/down, interrupt capability, and two with 10-mA LED sink |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-programmable EPC | Enables fully autonomous power-up, sleep/wake, and fault-recovery sequences without host intervention |
| Dual I²C interfaces | Separates system-level control (CTL-I²C) from real-time core voltage scaling (DVS-I²C), preventing bus contention |
| Integrated RTC with alarm | Provides calendar, time-of-day, and programmable wake-up events using internal 32-kHz oscillator or crystal |
| Thermal monitoring & shutdown | Detects die temperature exceeding 125°C and forces safe shutdown; hot-die detection triggers NRESPWRON |
| Backup battery management | VBACKUP input supports coin-cell backup for RTC and registers during main power loss (VRTC domain retention) |
| Programmable GPIOs | Nine pins support push-pull/OD modes, maskable interrupts, LED drive, and DC-DC synchronization clock output |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS659122A2ZRCR | Same pinout and feature set; differs in EEPROM configuration defaults and supported processor memory interface (DDR3L vs DDR3) | Targeted at TI AM57xx/AM65xx processors with DDR3L memory; lacks some GPIO remapping options present in TPS6591102A2ZRCR | Select when designing for Sitara AM65x platforms requiring DDR3L timing compliance and lower standby current. |
| TPS65910A3ZRCR | 98-ball ZRC package, but only two SMPS (VDD1/VIO), no VDD2 rail or VDDCtrl controller; reduced LDO count (6 total) | Suitable for single-core applications; lacks dual-core DVS and external FET control needed for high-current rails | Choose for cost-sensitive single-core designs where VDD2 and VDDCtrl functionality are unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS6591102A2ZRCR, TPS659122A2ZRCR offers identical hardware but different factory EEPROM settings for DDR3L compatibility, while TPS65910A3ZRCR reduces integration depth-omitting VDD2 SMPS and VDDCtrl-to lower cost and complexity for less demanding SoCs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the VDD1 SMPS in TPS6591102A2ZRCR?
The VDD1 SMPS in TPS6591102A2ZRCR delivers up to 1.5 A continuous output current across its 0.6 V to 3.3 V adjustable range. This rating is verified under recommended operating conditions with proper thermal management and external components per TI's layout guidelines. The TPS6591102A2ZRCR datasheet specifies peak current limit thresholds and soft-start behavior to ensure reliable startup into heavy loads.
Does TPS6591102A2ZRCR support external crystal oscillators for the RTC function?
Yes, TPS6591102A2ZRCR supports a 32.768-kHz external crystal connected between OSC32KIN and OSC32KOUT pins. The device includes internal load capacitance and bias circuitry, eliminating the need for external capacitors. It also offers a built-in 32-kHz RC oscillator as a fallback when crystal operation is not required or unavailable.
Can EN1 and EN2 pins on TPS6591102A2ZRCR be used simultaneously as both enable signals and I²C lines?
No - EN1 and EN2 on TPS6591102A2ZRCR are multiplexed: they operate either as general-purpose enable inputs or as dedicated I²C clock/data lines for VDD1/VDD2 dynamic voltage scaling, but not both simultaneously. Configuration is controlled via EEPROM programming and cannot be changed dynamically during operation.
What is the purpose of the VDDCtrl controller in TPS6591102A2ZRCR?
The VDDCtrl controller in TPS6591102A2ZRCR drives external high-side and low-side FETs to generate a programmable output voltage (0.6 V to 1.4 V) with up to 6 A peak current capability. It includes slew-rate control, current limiting, and thermal protection - enabling high-efficiency, high-current rails beyond the capacity of integrated SMPS stages.
How does the embedded power controller (EPC) in TPS6591102A2ZRCR execute power sequencing?
The EPC in TPS6591102A2ZRCR executes power-on, power-off, and state-transition sequences stored in on-chip EEPROM. These sequences define timing delays, voltage ramp rates, inter-rail dependencies, and fault-handling logic - all autonomously, without host processor involvement. The TPS6591102A2ZRCR EPC supports up to 128 programmable steps with conditional branching based on GPIO or comparator inputs.
