Product details
Overview
TPS6591104A2ZRCR from Texas Instruments is an integrated power management IC (PMIC) designed for single-cell Li-ion, 3-cell Ni-MH, or 5-V powered portable systems. It integrates three step-down DC-DC converters (VDD1: 0.6–3.3 V, 1.5 A; VDD2: 0.6–3.3 V, 1.5 A; VIO: 1.3–3.3 V, 1.3 A), one external-FET controller (VDDCtrl), eight programmable LDOs (up to 320 mA), embedded power controller with EEPROM, RTC with 32.768-kHz crystal support, and nine GPIOs - enabling full power sequencing in handheld processors like NVIDIA T30.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6591104A2ZRCR datasheet, TPS6591104A2ZRCR pinout, TPS6591104A2ZRCR application, or TPS6591104A2ZRCR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated BGA-98 pin functions, confirmed I²C-controlled DVS capability, thermal shutdown behavior, and real-world use cases in battery-powered mobile SoC platforms requiring multi-rail sequencing and dynamic voltage scaling.
Technical Context
The TPS6591104A2ZRCR implements a hierarchical power architecture: dual core SMPS (VDD1/VDD2) support independent dynamic voltage scaling via dedicated high-speed I²C interface, while VIO supplies I/O and memory rails. The embedded power controller (EPC) executes EEPROM-programmable boot-up, sleep, and reset sequences without host intervention.
It integrates analog subsystems including a 32.768-kHz RTC oscillator (crystal or internal RC), two comparators tied to VCCS, watchdog timer, PWM/LED pulse generators, and thermal monitoring with hot-die detection. All LDOs (LDO1–LDO8 + VRTC) are digitally adjustable via I²C with 50-mV or 100-mV step resolution depending on regulator.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS659112ZRCR | Supports DM8168/AM389x processors; lacks DDR3 support and VIO voltage range above 2.5 V | Targeted at TI DaVinci-based industrial vision systems, not mobile SoCs | Choose only when interfacing with C6A8168 or AM3894 - incompatible with NVIDIA T30 or i.MX6 memory interfaces |
| TPS659114ZRCR | Optimized for Freescale i.MX6 DDR3; adds 1.35-V DDR3 termination LDO and tighter VIO tolerance (±1.5%) | Designed specifically for i.MX6 Quad/DualPlus platforms with LPDDR2/DDR3 memory | Select for i.MX6 designs requiring DDR3 termination and higher VIO accuracy; not drop-in for T30 due to EEPROM map differences |
Compared with TPS6591104A2ZRCR, TPS659112ZRCR omits DDR3 support and has reduced VIO flexibility, while TPS659114ZRCR adds DDR3-specific features but requires revalidation of EEPROM sequencing - neither offers pin-to-pin compatibility nor identical register mapping.

The TPS6591104A2ZRCR serves as the central power management IC for mobile SoCs like NVIDIA T30, providing three regulated DC-DC outputs (VDD1, VDD2, VIO), eight LDOs, EEPROM-programmable power sequencing, RTC, and GPIOs. Its integrated architecture replaces multiple discrete regulators and controllers, reducing PCB area and simplifying firmware-driven voltage scaling in the TPS6591104A2ZRCR.
Does the TPS6591104A2ZRCR support dynamic voltage scaling for both processor cores simultaneously?
Yes, the TPS6591104A2ZRCR supports independent dynamic voltage scaling for VDD1 and VDD2 via its dedicated high-speed I²C interface (EN1/EN2 used as SCL/SDA). Each core rail can be adjusted in real time with 50-mV or 100-mV steps, enabling fine-grained power optimization during varying computational loads in the TPS6591104A2ZRCR.
How does the TPS6591104A2ZRCR handle thermal protection and system safety?
The TPS6591104A2ZRCR includes on-die thermal monitoring with hot-die detection at 125°C and automatic thermal shutdown.

These features ensure safe operation in thermally constrained handheld enclosures using the TPS6591104A2ZRCR.
Can the TPS6591104A2ZRCR operate from a backup battery source?
Yes, the TPS6591104A2ZRCR accepts backup power on VBACKUP (pin D7) to maintain RTC operation and backup registers during main power loss. The VRTC LDO (pin B5) remains active from VBACKUP, preserving calendar/time/alarm functionality - a critical capability confirmed in the TPS6591104A2ZRCR datasheet.
What package type and pin count does the TPS6591104A2ZRCR use?
The TPS6591104A2ZRCR uses a 98-ball ZRC BGA package (MicroStar Junior™) with 9.0 mm × 6.0 mm body size and 0.65-mm pitch. This package includes dedicated AGND, GNDC, REFGND, and VBACKUP balls to support low-noise analog performance and robust thermal dissipation in the TPS6591104A2ZRCR.
