Product Overview
The TPS65217BRSLR is a highly integrated single-chip power management IC (PMIC) from Texas Instruments, specifically designed to power TI Sitara™ AM335x ARM® Cortex®-A8 processors and similar embedded systems. The device integrates three high-efficiency step-down DC/DC converters, four low-dropout (LDO) regulators, a linear battery charger with power path management, and a white LED boost driver, providing a complete power solution for battery-powered and 5 V line-powered applications.
Packaged in a 48-pin VQFN (RSL) package measuring 6 mm × 6 mm with 0.4 mm pitch, the TPS65217B operates from 2.75 V to 5.8 V input and supports dual input sources (USB and AC adapter) with automatic power path management. The three 2.25 MHz synchronous buck converters deliver up to 1.2 A each and provide the core, memory, and I/O voltages for the processor system.
The device features password-protected I²C control (address 0x24), configurable power-up sequencing, power-good monitoring, push-button monitor, wakeup functionality, and an integrated analog multiplexer for system voltage and temperature monitoring. With an operating temperature range of –40°C to +105°C, the TPS65217BRSLR is suitable for industrial and portable applications requiring a compact, cost-effective PMIC solution.
