TPS61378QWRTERQ1 Übersicht
A boost (step-up) converter is a switched-mode DC-DC converter that produces an output voltage higher than its input voltage by storing energy in an inductor during one clock phase and releasing it into the output capacitor during the complementary phase. Boost converters sit in the broader DC-DC converter hierarchy alongside buck, buck-boost, and SEPIC topologies, and they belong to the Power Management IC family that conditions battery or bus voltages for downstream analog, RF, and digital loads.
Key features include integrated synchronous rectification (eliminating an external Schottky diode), an integrated P-MOSFET load-disconnect switch that prevents reverse current flow in shutdown, programmable peak current limit via external resistor, programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz, internal soft-start, and thermal shutdown. The WQFN-16 RTE package provides a low thermal resistance path and the wettable flank enables automated optical inspection of solder joints.
The architecture combines a high-side synchronous rectifier with a peak-current-mode controller and an internal low-side power MOSFET, achieving high efficiency (>90% at moderate loads) while minimizing external component count. The load-disconnect feature is essential for automotive start-stop and battery-isolated systems where reverse leakage into the source must be blocked during shutdown.
Typical applications include automotive infotainment displays, USB Type-C power delivery boost rails, automotive camera modules, LED driver boost stages, and portable industrial equipment where a higher voltage rail must be generated from a 12V or 5V bus. The AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (operating from -40C to +125C) makes the part specifically suited to harsh automotive environments.
When designing with this device, select the inductor based on the programmed switching frequency and current limit (typical 1.0uH to 4.7uH) and ensure the output ceramic capacitor meets the manufacturer's minimum ESR requirement for stable loop compensation. Pay attention to PCB layout: the input capacitor return, output capacitor return, and PGND pin should all connect to a single low-impedance ground pour directly under the exposed pad to minimize switching noise and thermal rise.

USB Type-C Power Delivery Boost Rail
The TPS61378QWRTERQ1 boosts a 5V USB VBUS input to the 9V, 12V, or 15V needed for USB-PD 3.0 fixed-mode negotiation. Its 2.3V to 14V input range accommodates the USB-C source input range, while the programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz allows AM-band avoidance in automotive infotainment systems. The 25uA quiescent current keeps standby drain low on always-powered USB ports, and the integrated synchronous rectification reaches >90% efficiency at moderate loads.

Automotive Camera Module Power
The TPS61378QWRTERQ1 supplies a clean 12V to 15V rail to surround-view and front-camera image-sensor boards from the 12V automotive bus. Its load-disconnect feature prevents backflow during key-off, which is critical for modules that must not drain the battery when the vehicle is parked. The compact WQFN-16 RTE 3x3 mm footprint fits inside the camera housing alongside the imager PCB. AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification supports automotive EMI and thermal stress requirements.

Automotive LED Driver Boost Front-End
The TPS61378QWRTERQ1 provides the boost front-end that raises the 12V automotive bus to 18V to 20V for high-brightness LED strings used in headlamp and daytime-running-light applications. The 4.8A programmable current limit supports multi-string LED loads at PWM dimming frequencies up to 1kHz. The wettable-flank WQFN-16 package allows automated optical inspection required by Tier-1 automotive lighting OEMs. Synchronous rectification minimizes thermal dissipation at high boost ratios.

The TPS61378QWRTERQ1 generates a 15V or 18V rail from a single-cell Li-ion (3.0V to 4.2V) for industrial handheld instruments such as barcode scanners, portable test meters, and IoT gateways. The 25uA quiescent current extends battery life during sleep periods, while the integrated load-disconnect prevents reverse leakage into the battery when the device is off. The exposed-pad WQFN-16 package allows thermal dissipation up to 2W on standard 4-layer FR4 without external heatsinking.
Empfohlen
Automotive Sensor and ADAS Power Rail
The TPS61378QWRTERQ1 powers radar, lidar, and ADAS sensor modules that require a stable 12V or 15V rail above the 12V automotive bus to compensate for voltage drops across long harness runs. Its peak-current-mode control provides fast transient response to step-load changes caused by sensor scan pulses, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification meets the reliability requirements of safety-critical ADAS systems. The integrated soft-start prevents inrush transients on the 12V bus.

Designhinweise
Place the input ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10uF minimum) within 2mm of the VIN pin and PGND pin. The exposed thermal pad (EP) MUST be soldered to a copper pour of at least 25mm x 25mm on the top layer with at least 8 thermal vias to the inner/ground plane for adequate heat extraction. The SW node traces should be short and wide to minimize EMI and switching loss. According to TI layout guidelines, the AGND and PGND should connect at a single point under the exposed pad to avoid ground bounce coupling into the sensitive feedback node.
Estimated: At VIN=12V, VOUT=18V, IOUT=1A, the TPS61378QWRTERQ1 dissipates approximately (VOUT - VIN) * IOUT / efficiency = 6W * 0.85 efficiency = ~7W. With a WQFN-16 RTE package theta_JA of approximately 35 C/W on a 4-layer 1oz PCB, the junction temperature would rise ~245C above ambient - well above the 125C automotive limit. For sustained high-power operation, the input voltage must be close to the output voltage (boost ratio near 1:1) or significant copper thermal relief is required. The WQFN-16 RTE package is intended for moderate-power designs where VIN approaches VOUT.
Common pitfalls when using the TPS61378QWRTERQ1: (1) Exceeding the 18.5V VOUT absolute maximum will damage the internal synchronous rectifier and load-disconnect FET - verify feedback divider resistor values before power-up. (2) Using an inductor with insufficient saturation current rating causes the ILIM comparator to mis-trigger at high transients; choose an inductor with Isat >= 1.3x the programmed ILIM. (3) Omitting the bootstrap capacitor on the BST pin prevents high-side drive and causes no switching; always place a 100nF ceramic from BST to SW. (4) Not connecting the exposed thermal pad to PGND results in poor thermal performance and may trigger thermal shutdown at lower than expected power levels.
To minimize EMI in automotive AM-band-sensitive applications, program the switching frequency above 1.8MHz or below 540kHz using the RT/FSET resistor. According to TI application guidance, a small RC snubber (2.2 ohm + 1nF) across the low-side FET can reduce SW-node ringing by 30-40%. Use a shielded inductor and keep the SW node loop area (SW-to-inductor-to-output-cap) to a minimum to limit radiated emissions.
