Product details
Overview
TPS6591104EA2ZRCR 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, real-time clock (RTC), and nine configurable GPIOs. It delivers 1.5 A at 0.6–1.5 V on VDD1, 1.5 A at 0.6–2.2 V on VDD2, and 1.3 A at 1.5 V on VIO - optimized for dual-core processor power in portable systems powered by single-cell Li-ion or 5-V input.
For engineers reviewing the TPS6591104EA2ZRCR datasheet, TPS6591104EA2ZRCR pinout, TPS6591104EA2ZRCR application, or TPS6591104EA2ZRCR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated BGA-98 pin mapping, confirmed I²C-controlled DVS sequencing, RTC calendar/alarm functionality, and direct alternative part comparisons - all grounded in TI's SWCS049S production datasheet (August 2018 revision).
Technical Context
The TPS6591104EA2ZRCR implements a hierarchical power architecture: two core SMPS (VDD1/VDD2) support dynamic voltage scaling via dedicated high-speed I²C interface, while VIO supplies I/O and memory rails. The VDDCtrl controller drives external high-current FETs with programmable slew rate (5 mV/µs) and overcurrent protection using TRIP pin sensing.
Its embedded power controller (EPC) executes EEPROM-programmable power-up/down sequences, coordinated with cold reset (HDRST), thermal reset (PWRDN), and system-level sleep/wake transitions via SLEEP and PWRHOLD. The RTC subsystem integrates 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator, date/time/calendar, alarm, and backup battery charging - all operating from VRTC LDO supplied by VCC7.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6591210ZQCR | Same 98-pin ZRC package; adds USB OTG VBUS detection and enhanced thermal monitoring; no RTC calendar/alarm | Omits RTC alarm/calendar but adds USB power path control - suited for USB-host-centric designs without long-term timekeeping needs | Select when USB OTG support is required and RTC alarm functionality is unnecessary; pin-compatible but EEPROM settings differ |
| TPS65917A0ZQCR | Successor generation with higher VDD1/VDD2 current (2.5 A), lower quiescent current (12 µA in SLEEP), and updated I²C register map | Targets newer processors (e.g., AM5728); lacks VDDCtrl controller - requires external high-current FET driver for >3 A rails | Choose for next-gen designs needing higher core current and lower standby power; not drop-in due to missing VDDCtrl and different pinout |
Compared with TPS6591104EA2ZRCR, TPS6591210ZQCR retains full pin compatibility and RTC oscillator but removes calendar/alarm to add USB detection, while TPS65917A0ZQCR increases core current capability and reduces sleep current at the cost of VDDCtrl functionality and requires PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the VDD1 SMPS in TPS6591104EA2ZRCR?
The TPS6591104EA2ZRCR VDD1 SMPS delivers up to 1.5 A continuous output current across its 0.6 V to 3.3 V adjustable range, as specified in Section 5.14 of the SWCS049S datasheet. This rating applies under recommended operating conditions with proper thermal management and external LC filtering. The actual achievable current depends on input voltage, output voltage, ambient temperature, and PCB copper area.
Does TPS6591104EA2ZRCR support external crystal or internal oscillator for the RTC?
Yes, TPS6591104EA2ZRCR supports both configurations: it can operate the RTC using an external 32.768-kHz crystal connected to OSC32KIN/OSC32KOUT, or switch to an internal 32-kHz RC oscillator. Selection is controlled via EEPROM configuration bits per Section 6.8 of the datasheet. Crystal mode provides ±20 ppm accuracy; RC mode offers lower precision but eliminates external components.
How many LDOs does TPS6591104EA2ZRCR integrate, and what are their key voltage resolution options?
TPS6591104EA2ZRCR integrates eight user-programmable LDOs. Five (LDO3, LDO5–LDO8) support 1.0 V to 3.3 V in 100-mV steps; three (LDO1, LDO2, LDO4) support 1.0 V to 3.3 V in finer 50-mV steps. All are fully controllable via I²C interface, with current capabilities ranging from 50 mA (LDO4) to 320 mA (LDO1/LDO2) and 300 mA (LDO5–LDO8).
Can EN1 and EN2 pins of TPS6591104EA2ZRCR be used simultaneously for enable control and I²C communication?
No - EN1 and EN2 are multiplexed pins: they operate either as general-purpose enable signals (driving external regulators or resources) OR as dedicated high-speed I²C clock/data lines for VDD1/VDD2 dynamic voltage scaling. The function is selected at power-up via EEPROM configuration; simultaneous use for both roles is not supported per Section 1.1 and Table 6-2 of the datasheet.
What thermal protection features are implemented in TPS6591104EA2ZRCR?
TPS6591104EA2ZRCR includes two-tier thermal protection: (1) thermal shutdown triggers at 150°C junction temperature, forcing all SMPS and LDOs into safe-off state; (2) hot-die detection asserts NRESPWRON2 output below shutdown threshold to signal thermal stress to host processor. Both functions are hardware-based and operate independently of firmware or I²C control, as detailed in Section 5.9 and Section 6.13.
