SLVSIH4 August 2025 TPS6521505-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS6521505-Q1 provides three step-down converters, two LDOs, three general-purpose I/Os and three multi-Function pins. The system is able to be supplied with a single cell Li-Ion battery, two primary cells or a regulated supply. The device is characterized across a -40°C to +125°C temperature range, which makes the PMIC an excellent choice for various automotive applications.
The I2C interface provides comprehensive features for using TPS6521505-Q1. All rails, the GPOs and the GPIO are configurable as enabled or disabled. Voltage thresholds for the undervoltage monitoring are customizable.
The integrated voltage supervisor monitors Buck1-3 and LDO1-2 for undervoltage. The monitor has two sensitivity settings. A power good signal is provided to report the successful ramp of the power rails and GPIOs. The nRSTOUT pin is pulled low until the device enters ACTIVE state. When powering down from ACTIVE- or STBY-state, nRSTOUT is pulled low again. The nRSTOUT pin has an open-drain output. A fault-pin, nINT, notifies the SoC about faults.
Buck1 step-down converter supplies up to 3.5A of current, Buck2 and Buck3 supplies up to 1.5A each. The default output voltages for each converter are adjustable through the I2C interface. All three buck-converters feature dynamic voltage scaling. The step-down converters operate in a low power mode at light load or in a forced into PWM operation for noise sensitive applications.
LDO1 supports output currents of 400mA at an output voltage range of 0.6V to 3.4V. This LDO supports bypass mode, acting as a load-switch, and allowing voltage-changes during operation for applications like SD-card-supply, adjusting the IO-supply of the SD-card from 3.3V to 1.8V after initialization.
LDO2 supports output currents of 300mA at an output voltage range of 1.2V to 3.3V. This LDO supports load-switch-mode, but not bypass mode.
The I2C-interface, IOs, GPIOs, and multi-function-pins (MFP) allow a seamless interface to a wide range of SoCs.
All configurations of the rails, for example output-voltages, sequencing, are backed up by EEPROM. Please refer to the Technical Reference Manual (TRM) of the chosen configuration.
