TPS65381A-Q1: TPS65381A-Q1 and TPS65381-Q1

Part Number: TPS65381A-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65381-Q1,

Hi team,

Is TPS65381A-Q1 exactly the same as TPS65381-Q1? If so, why we change TPS65381-Q1 to TPS65381A-Q1?

Best regards,

Wendy

  • Hi,

    In terms of functionality and pin out, both the devices are same, but there are some improvements done on TPS65381A-Q1 device to improve certain parameters and hence we strongly recommend customers to use TPS65381A-Q1 device.

    I have forwarded your request to the Applications Engineer supporting this device and he will provide you an update if my above assumption is not correct.

    Regards,

  • Hi Wendy,

    Assuming the customer has been using TPS65381QDCARQ1 the silicon is the same as TPS65381AQDCARQ1 with the only difference being the topside marking. There was a silicon revision made between TPS65381QDCARQ1 and TPS65381AQDCARQ1 however the same change was also done to the TPS65381QDCARQ1 device through a PCN around the same time as the release of the TPS65381AQDCARQ1 device. Given this, these parts can be used interchangeably as they are the same silicon.

    Best regards,
