It takes a 3V to 17V input rail and delivers an adjustable output from 0.9V up to 6V, switching at 2.5 MHz. The 16-VQFN package with exposed pad (3x3 mm) keeps the footprint small enough for space-limited automotive modules like infotainment head units, ADAS sensor power, or ECU point-of-load rails. ## 2.5 MHz switching — inductor size trade-off The 2.5 MHz switching frequency lets you use a smaller inductor and output capacitor than a 500 kHz regulator would need — think 1 µH to 2.2 µH in the 0805 or 1210 footprint. That saves board area, but the high-frequency edge rate demands careful layout: keep the input cap within 2 mm of the VIN pin and the inductor return path short to the exposed pad ground. The 3A output rating is continuous; the part can handle brief load transients above that, but the thermal limit in the 3x3 mm QFN will catch sustained overloads before the silicon does. The DCS-Control loop stays stable over that span with ceramic output caps — no need for bulk electrolytics or external compensation. That matters when the board sees vibration and thermal cycling; ceramics hold their value better than aluminium electrolytics over 10 years in a vehicle. No last-time-buy notice, no end-of-life window to plan around. The base product number is TPS62130; the full suffix identifies the automotive-grade, RGT package, and the Q1 automotive qualification. ## 16-VQFN — thermal and assembly notes The datasheet recommends a 2x2 array of vias under the pad to the ground plane — that drops the thermal resistance to around 40°C/W with a 2 oz copper pour. Without those vias, the junction temperature rises 20-30°C higher at 3A output, which can push you past the 125°C limit in a hot enclosure. The package is MSL-1, no bake needed before reflow if the bag seal is intact.","metaTitle":"TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 Automotive Buck Converter, 3A, 2.5MHz","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 is a 3A step-down buck converter with DCS-Control, AEC-Q100 qualified, -40 to 125°C, in a 16-VQFN package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Power Management (PMIC / Gate Driver)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Series":"Automotive, AEC-Q100, DCS-Control™","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Function":"Step-Down","Topology":"Buck","Output Type":"Adjustable","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"16-VFQFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Output":"3A","Number of Outputs":"1","Base Product Number":"TPS62130","Output Configuration":"Positive","Frequency - Switching":"2.5MHz","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C(TJ)","Synchronous Rectifier":"Yes","Voltage - Input (Max)":"17V","Voltage - Input (Min)":"3V","Voltage - Output (Max)":"6V","Supplier Device Package":"16-VQFN (3x3)","Voltage - Output (Min/Fixed)":"0.9V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.7100","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/3a90498c67803fde47e5d017e5c47bf0.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/TPS62130AQRGTRQ1/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Can TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 replace TPS62130?","answer":"The TPS62130AQRGTRQ1 is the automotive-qualified (AEC-Q100) variant of the base TPS62130.
