TPS2124: Is TPS2124YFPR is Automotive grade?

Part Number: TPS2124
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM66100-Q1,

My Name is Rahul Bakshi. I take care of all hardware design activities for Automotive and IoT in Embitel. I got your contact number from my colleague.

 

For one of our North America based client, a trailer manufacturer, we have been designing an ECU for their light out detection program.

 

We have already selected a power mux IC, TPS2124YFPR, for this design. Protypes are already in the field testing.

 

Issue: For Automotive electrical transients testing, ISO 7632-2, we observe failure of this IC while Lab testing. Sometimes INT1 and INT2 are shorted otherwise INT and Output are shorted.  Inconsistent behavior.

 

Support from TI :

  1. Is TPS2124YFPR an Auto grade power Mux IC? Data sheet does not provide enough information.
    1. If Yes, can we get supporting documents to know more about this IC?
    2. If No, can TI suggest us an alternative? We are already at Spin 3 of HW design.
  2. Is there any selection of package issue with TPS2124YFPR? Very tiny BGA. Is this recommended for Automotive application.

 

Please look into this request and suggest us some solution.

 

Regards,

Rahul

  • Hi Rahul, 

    Welcome to E2E!

    I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this at the late stages of HW design. 

    Our TPS2124 is not automotive qualified and not recommended for automotive operation. We do not have any automotive grade power muxes currently in our portfolio. Two of our ideal diode LM66100-Q1 can be used as an ORing selector between two power sources but only for voltages up to 5.5V and output current up to 1.5A. 

    Our AEC-Q100 qualified products for automotive applications are typically signified by a "-Q1" designator at the end of the product name.  

    Best Regards, 

    Elizabeth
