Product details
Overview
TPS659110A2ZRCR 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 application processors in portable systems powered by single-cell Li-ion or 5-V input.
For engineers reviewing the TPS659110A2ZRCR datasheet, TPS659110A2ZRCR pinout, TPS659110A2ZRCR application, or TPS659110A2ZRCR equivalent, this PMIC supports dynamic voltage scaling via dedicated I²C, thermal shutdown, 32.768-kHz RTC oscillator, programmable power sequencing, and LED/PWM generators - critical for battery-powered handheld and embedded SoC platforms requiring multi-rail precision control and system-level power state management.
Technical Context
The TPS659110A2ZRCR implements a hierarchical power architecture: two core SMPS (VDD1/VDD2) support adaptive voltage scaling under I²C command, while VIO supplies I/O and memory rails. The VDDCtrl controller drives external high-current FETs with programmable slew rate and overcurrent protection via TRIP pin.
Its embedded power controller (EPC) executes EEPROM-programmable boot-up, sleep, and reset sequences; the RTC includes calendar, alarm, and backup battery charging; and nine GPIOs provide enable control, interrupt wakeup, LED drive (10 mA sink), and clock synchronization - all managed through a single high-speed I²C interface (CTL-I²C or dual-purpose EN1/EN2).
Key Specifications

The TPS659110A2ZRCR is specifically designed for powering NVIDIA T30 dual-core Cortex-A9 application processors in smartphones and tablets. It supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory interfaces, integrates RTC with calendar/alarm, and provides programmable power sequencing - making it ideal for portable devices requiring multi-rail precision control and battery life optimization.
Does the TPS659110A2ZRCR include an integrated real-time clock?
Yes, the TPS659110A2ZRCR includes a full-featured RTC with 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator support, date/time/calendar tracking, alarm capability, and backup battery charging via the VBACKUP pin. The RTC operates independently using VCC7 and maintains time during system sleep or main power loss when a backup cell is connected.
How many LDO regulators does the TPS659110A2ZRCR provide, and what are their voltage ranges?
The TPS659110A2ZRCR provides eight LDO regulators: five (LDO3, LDO5–LDO8) support 1.0–3.3 V in 100-mV steps; three (LDO1, LDO2, LDO4) support 1.0–3.3 V in 50-mV steps. All eight are fully controllable via the high-speed I²C interface and powered from dedicated input supplies (VCC3–VCC6).
Can the TPS659110A2ZRCR support dynamic voltage scaling for both processor cores?
Yes, the TPS659110A2ZRCR supports independent dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) for both VDD1 and VDD2 SMPS outputs. This is enabled via a dedicated high-speed I²C interface using the EN1 (clock) and EN2 (data) pins - allowing real-time voltage adjustment without interfering with the main CTL-I²C bus used for system configuration.
What package type and pin count does the TPS659110A2ZRCR use?
The TPS659110A2ZRCR uses a 98-pin BGA MicroStar™ Junior (ZRC) package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and a 9.0 mm × 6.0 mm body size. Pin functions include three SMPS switch nodes (SW1/SW2/SWIO), nine configurable GPIOs, dual I²C interfaces, RTC timing pins, and dedicated enable/control signals - all documented in the official TI datasheet SWCS049S.
