Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · VQFN-40-EP(6x6)

TPS65251-2RHAR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-40-EP(6x6). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 RLIM3 input Current limit setting for Buck 3; a resistor from this pin to ground sets the peak current limit on the output inductor.
2 SS3 input Soft-start pin for Buck 3; a small ceramic capacitor on this pin sets the converter soft-start time.
3 COMP3 output Compensation for Buck 3; a series RC circuit on this pin completes the compensation circuit of the converter.
4 FB3 input Feedback input for Buck 3; connect a divider set to 0.8 V from the converter output to ground.
5 SYNC input Synchronous clock input; connect to GND when not used.
6 ROSC input Oscillator set; this resistor sets the internal autonomous clock frequency and should be about 70% of the external clock frequency when external synchronization is used.
7 FB1 input Feedback pin for Buck 1; connect a divider set to 0.8 V from the converter output to ground.
8 COMP1 output Compensation pin for Buck 1; a series RC circuit on this pin completes the compensation circuit of the converter.
9 SS1 input Soft-start pin for Buck 1; a small ceramic capacitor on this pin sets the converter soft-start time.
10 RLIM1 input Current limit setting pin for Buck 1; a resistor from this pin to ground sets the peak current limit on the output inductor.
11 EN1 input Enable pin for Buck 1; a low-level signal disables it, and if left open a weak internal pull-up to V3V enables it automatically.
12 BST1 input Bootstrap capacitor pin for Buck 1; fit a 47-nF ceramic capacitor from this pin to the switching node.
13 VIN1 input Input supply for Buck 1; fit a 10-µF ceramic capacitor close to this pin.
14 LX1 output Switching node for Buck 1.
15 LX1 output Switching node for Buck 1.
16 LX2 output Switching node for Buck 2.
17 LX2 output Switching node for Buck 2.
18 VIN2 input Input supply for Buck 2; fit a 10-µF ceramic capacitor close to this pin.
19 BST2 input Bootstrap capacitor pin for Buck 2; fit a 47-nF ceramic capacitor from this pin to the switching node.
20 EN2 input Enable pin for Buck 2; a low-level signal disables it, and if left open a weak internal pull-up to V3V enables it automatically.
21 RLIM2 input Current limit setting for Buck 2; a resistor from this pin to ground sets the peak current limit on the output inductor.
22 SS2 input Soft-start pin for Buck 2; a small ceramic capacitor on this pin sets the converter soft-start time.
23 COMP2 output Compensation pin for Buck 2; a series RC circuit on this pin completes the compensation circuit of the converter.
24 FB2 input Feedback input for Buck 2; connect a divider set to 0.8 V from the converter output to ground.
25 LOW_P input Low-power operation mode input (active-high) for the TPS65251.
26 GND power_in Ground pin.
27 PGOOD output Power-good open-drain output, asserted after all converters are sequenced and within regulation; polarity is factory selectable with active-high as the default.
28 V7V power_out Internal supply; connect a 10-µF ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground.
29 V3V power_out Internal supply; connect a 3.3- to 10-µF ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground.
30 AGND power_in Analog ground; connect all GND pins and the power pad together.
31 GND power_in Ground pin.
32 VIN power_in Input supply pin; the recommended VIN input operating voltage is 4.5 V to 18 V.
33 VIN power_in Input supply pin; the recommended VIN input operating voltage is 4.5 V to 18 V.
34 VIN power_in Input supply pin; the recommended VIN input operating voltage is 4.5 V to 18 V.
35 GND power_in Ground pin.
36 LX3 output Switching node for Buck 3.
37 LX3 output Switching node for Buck 3.
38 VIN3 input Input supply for Buck 3; fit a 10-µF ceramic capacitor close to this pin.
39 BST3 input Bootstrap capacitor pin for Buck 3; fit a 47-nF ceramic capacitor from this pin to the switching node.
40 EN3 input Enable pin for Buck 3; a low-level signal disables it, and if left open a weak internal pull-up to V3V enables it automatically.
41 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
