Product details
Overview
TPS6591102AA2ZRCR 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 GPIOs - designed for single-cell Li-ion or 5-V powered portable systems requiring multi-rail sequencing and dynamic voltage scaling.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6591102AA2ZRCR datasheet, TPS6591102AA2ZRCR pinout, TPS6591102AA2ZRCR application, or TPS6591102AA2ZRCR equivalent, this device serves as a flexible, I²C-configurable PMIC for processor core and I/O rail management in resource-constrained handheld platforms where thermal monitoring, backup battery support, and programmable power-up sequences are critical.
Technical Context
The TPS6591102AA2ZRCR implements a hierarchical power architecture: dual-core SMPS (VDD1/VDD2) support independent DVS via dedicated high-speed I²C interface, while VIO SMPS delivers up to 1.3 A at 1.5 V for memory and peripherals. The VDDCtrl controller supports external high-current FETs with programmable slew rate and overcurrent protection using TRIP pin sensing.
Its embedded power controller (EPC) executes EEPROM-programmable sequencing across 12 power domains, including LDO enable timing, reset coordination (HDRST/PWRDN/NRESPWRON), and SLEEP state transitions. The RTC subsystem integrates oscillator, calendar, alarm, and VRTC LDO (250 µA quiescent, 1.2–3.3 V output), all backed by VBACKUP input.
Key Specifications
