Automotive power management in a 5x5 mm VQFN
The Texas Instruments TPS650243QRHBRQ1 is a power-management IC for automotive environments, AEC-Q100 qualified.
Protection and thermal design notes
Built-in over-temperature and under-voltage lockout reduce the need for external supervisory circuits — the PMIC handles the fault detection and shutdown sequencing internally. The datasheet layout recommendation calls for a solder-mask-defined pad opening matching the exposed die paddle size.
