TPS2231RGPR

Texas Instruments · Power Distribution Switches · VQFN-20-EP(4x4)

TPS2231RGPR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-20-EP(4x4). 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 STBY input Active-low standby input that, when asserted after card insertion, turns off the 3.3-V and 1.5-V switches and keeps AUX on; internally pulled up to AUXIN.
2 3.3VIN power_in 3.3-V input supply for the 3.3VOUT switch; absolute maximum input range is -0.3 V to 6 V.
3 3.3VOUT power_out Switched output that delivers 0 V, 3.3 V or high impedance to the card.
4 NC unconnected No connection.
5 NC unconnected No connection.
6 SYSRST input Active-low system reset input driven by the host that forces PERST to assert; internally pulled up to AUXIN.
7 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
8 PERST output Logic-level power-good output to slot 0 (with delay), asserted low until all rails are in tolerance and RCLKEN is released.
9 CPUSB input Card-present input for USB cards; logic low indicates the card supports USB functions; internally pulled up to AUXIN.
10 CPPE input Card-present input for PCI Express cards; logic low indicates the card supports PCI Express functions; internally pulled up to AUXIN.
11 1.5VOUT power_out Switched output that delivers 0 V, 1.5 V or high impedance to the card.
12 1.5VIN power_in 1.5-V input for the 1.5VOUT switch; absolute maximum input range is -0.3 V to 6 V.
13 NC unconnected No connection.
14 NC unconnected No connection.
15 AUXOUT power_out Switched output that delivers 0 V, AUX or high impedance to the card.
16 NC unconnected No connection.
17 AUXIN power_in AUX input for AUXOUT and chip power; absolute maximum input range is -0.3 V to 6 V.
18 RCLKEN bidirectional Reference clock enable: as an output it is a open-drain power-good to the host for slot 0 (no delay); as an input, holding it low prevents PERST from being de-asserted; internally pulled up to AUXIN.
19 OC output Open-drain overcurrent status output for slot 0, asserted low when an overcurrent condition occurs on the AUX, 3.3-V or 1.5-V switch.
20 SHDN input Active-low shutdown input that turns off all voltage outputs and activates the discharge FETs; internally pulled up to AUXIN.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
