Product details
Overview
TPS65931211RWERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive power management IC (PMIC) integrating five buck regulators (four configurable for multi-phase operation up to 14 A total), four LDOs (three 500 mA bypass-capable, one 300 mA low-noise), real-time clock, 32-kHz crystal oscillator, dual I²C/SPI interfaces, and functional safety features including ASIL-B hardware integrity, watchdog with Q&A mode, dual error signal monitors, thermal shutdown, and CRC-protected NVM. It targets safety-critical ADAS and digital cluster power domains.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65931211RWERQ1 datasheet, TPS65931211RWERQ1 pinout, TPS65931211RWERQ1 application, or TPS65931211RWERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-buck/4-LDO topology, ASIL-B hardware integrity, 2.2/4.4 MHz synchronized switching, 32-kHz RTC clock source, and VQFNP-56 package with integrated thermal pad - all validated for automotive infotainment, ADAS, and body control modules requiring ISO 26262 system-level compliance.
Technical Context
The TPS65931211RWERQ1 implements a hierarchical power architecture: BUCK1–BUCK4 support flexible multi-phase configurations (e.g., BUCK12/123/1234) with shared feedback paths and current sharing, while BUCK5 operates independently at 2 A. All bucks feature internal soft-start, short-circuit protection, and selectable 2.2/4.4 MHz switching with spread-spectrum modulation for EMC reduction.
Its safety subsystem includes two dedicated error signal monitors (ESM) with level/PWM mode selection, input supply voltage monitoring, per-rail under/overvoltage and overcurrent detection, thermal pre-warning at +115°C, and CRC validation of NVM and configuration registers - enabling systematic capability up to ASIL-D at the system level while maintaining ASIL-B hardware integrity per ISO 26262 Part 5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rail with cold-crank tolerance. |
| Buck Output Current | BUCK4: 4 A single-phase or 3.5 A multi-phase; BUCK1–BUCK3: 3.5 A each; BUCK5: 2 A - enables scalable power delivery across SoC cores, memory, and peripherals. |
| LDO Output Current | LDO1–LDO3: 500 mA with bypass mode; LDO4: 300 mA low-noise - supplies noise-sensitive analog/RTC circuits without external filtering. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2 MHz or 4.4 MHz (internal) or 1–4 MHz (external sync) - allows EMI optimization and small external inductor sizing. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +150°C with +115°C pre-warning - provides fail-safe thermal management for under-hood environments. |
| NVM Integrity Protection | CRC-protected non-volatile memory - prevents boot into undefined state if configuration corruption is detected. |
| Functional Safety Rating | Hardware integrity up to ASIL-B per ISO 26262; systematic capability up to ASIL-D - supports integration into safety-critical vehicle domains. |
Pinout & Package
TPS65931211RWERQ1 uses an 8 mm × 8 mm, 56-pin VQFNP (RWE) package with 0.5-mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (PGND) for enhanced thermal dissipation in automotive under-dash applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB_B1–FB_B5 | Buck feedback inputs | Enable precise output voltage regulation; FB_B1/FB_B2 support differential sensing in multi-phase BUCK12/123/1234 configurations. |
| PVIN_B1–PVIN_B5 | Buck input power rails | Each connects to dedicated input source (typically VCCA); decoupling required per regulator for transient response. |
| SW_B1–SW_B5 | Buck switch node outputs | Drive external high-side MOSFETs or connect to integrated power stages; dual SW pins per buck (e.g., SW_B1, SW_B1) enable parallel routing. |
| VOUT_LDO1–VOUT_LDO4 | LDO regulated outputs | Deliver stable 0.6–3.3 V (LDO1–LDO3) or 1.2–3.3 V (LDO4); LDO4 optimized for <10 µVRMS noise in RTC/analog supply. |
| GPIO1–GPIO11 | Configurable I/O signals | Support power sequencing triggers, wake-up/sleep requests, error signaling (nERR_MCU/nERR_SoC), and clock distribution (CLK32KOUT, SYNCCLKOUT). |
| OSC32KIN/OSC32KOUT/OSC32KCAP | 32-kHz crystal interface | Enable precision RTC timing; OSC32KCAP connects to VRTC via internal 100 Ω resistor for capacitor biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-phase BUCK configuration | Four BUCKs (BUCK1–BUCK4) support programmable phase alignment and current sharing - delivers up to 14 A from a single rail while reducing input ripple and thermal stress. |
| Functional safety monitoring | Dual ESM inputs with selectable level/PWM mode, plus per-rail UV/OV/OC detection - enables real-time fault injection and response coordination with MCU/SoC safety managers. |
| Backup power management | VBACKUP input powers RTC and 32-kHz oscillator during main supply loss - maintains timekeeping and alarm/wake-up functionality from coin cell or supercap. |
| Low-power operating modes | 2 μA shutdown, 7 μA backup-only, 20 μA low-power standby - extends battery life in always-on automotive systems like telematics and remote keyless entry. |
| Configurable NVM power sequencing | Pre-programmed startup/shutdown sequences stored in CRC-protected NVM - eliminates need for external firmware initialization and ensures deterministic power-up behavior. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65941211RWERQ1 | Same 5-buck/4-LDO architecture but adds SPMI interface and enhanced GPIO flexibility; identical VQFNP-56 package and pinout. | Targeted at next-gen ADAS platforms requiring multi-PMIC coordination via SPMI bus. | Select when SPMI-based system-level power orchestration is required; otherwise, TPS65931211RWERQ1 offers lower cost and proven qualification for current-generation designs. |
| MAX20429ATPA/VY+ | 4-buck/3-LDO architecture; supports ASIL-B but lacks integrated RTC, 32-kHz oscillator, and NVM-based sequencing. | Used in cost-sensitive infotainment gateways where external RTC and sequencing logic are acceptable. | Choose for simpler, lower-pin-count implementations where full safety subsystem integration is not mandated; TPS65931211RWERQ1 provides higher integration and reduced BOM count. |
Compared with TPS65931211RWERQ1, TPS65941211RWERQ1 adds SPMI for scalable multi-PMIC systems but increases firmware complexity, while MAX20429ATPA/VY+ reduces integration depth and requires external timing/sequencing components - making TPS65931211RWERQ1 optimal for standalone ASIL-B-compliant ADAS and cluster applications needing full-featured, self-contained power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum total output current capability of the TPS65931211RWERQ1's buck regulators?
The TPS65931211RWERQ1 supports up to 14 A total output current by configuring BUCK1–BUCK4 in multi-phase mode (e.g., BUCK1234). BUCK4 delivers 4 A in single-phase or 3.5 A in multi-phase; BUCK1–BUCK3 each provide 3.5 A; BUCK5 supplies 2 A independently. This enables high-current SoC core rail delivery without external current-sharing circuitry.
Does the TPS65931211RWERQ1 include an integrated real-time clock (RTC)?
Yes, the TPS65931211RWERQ1 integrates a real-time clock with calendar, alarm, and periodic wake-up functionality. It uses an internal 32-kHz crystal oscillator (with OSC32KIN/OSC32KOUT/OSC32KCAP pins) and supports backup power via VBACKUP to maintain timekeeping during main supply loss - critical for automotive telematics and infotainment logging.
How does the TPS65931211RWERQ1 support functional safety compliance in automotive systems?
The TPS65931211RWERQ1 supports ISO 26262 system-level development with ASIL-B hardware integrity, including input supply monitoring, per-rail UV/OV/OC detection, thermal pre-warning (+115°C) and shutdown (+150°C), dual error signal monitors (ESMs), Q&A watchdog, and CRC-protected NVM. Documentation for safety analysis is provided upon product release.
What communication interfaces does the TPS65931211RWERQ1 support for configuration and monitoring?
The TPS65931211RWERQ1 supports either SPI or dual I²C interfaces: one primary I²C/SPI for general configuration and a second dedicated I²C (I²C2) for Q&A watchdog communication. Interface selection is stored in NVM, and GPIO1/GPIO2 serve as SCL_I2C2/SDA_I2C2 pins - enabling isolated watchdog supervision independent of main control traffic.
Is the TPS65931211RWERQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS659x-Q1 family?
The TPS65931211RWERQ1 shares the same 56-pin VQFNP (RWE) package and mechanical footprint with TPS65941211RWERQ1, enabling drop-in replacement where SPMI interface is not required. However, register maps and certain GPIO alternate functions differ; full electrical and firmware compatibility requires validation against respective datasheets.
