Product details
Overview
REG71050DDCTG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed 5-V output buck-boost switched-capacitor voltage converter supporting 1.8 V to 5.5 V input, delivering up to 30 mA regulated output with 35 mVPP ripple at 30 mA and 90% peak efficiency. It operates autonomously in step-up or step-down mode without inductors and serves as a compact power source for low-current portable logic rails.
For engineers reviewing the REG71050DDCTG4 datasheet, REG71050DDCTG4 pinout, REG71050DDCTG4 application, or REG71050DDCTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage flexibility (1.8–5.5 V), inductorless charge-pump topology, thermal/current protection, shutdown current <1 μA, and SON-6 package compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The REG71050DDCTG4 uses a 1-MHz internal oscillator to drive a four-FET switched-capacitor topology that automatically selects between buck (VIN > VOUT) and boost (VIN < VOUT) operation based on real-time input voltage relative to its fixed 5-V output. No external mode control is required.
It integrates thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 140°C recovery) and current limiting, while maintaining 65 μA quiescent current in active mode and reducing to 0.01 μA in shutdown-enabling ultra-low-power retention in handheld and SIM-card applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±3%, stable across 1.8–5.5 V input and 0–30 mA load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V-supports single-cell Li-ion, 2–3 cell alkaline/Ni-based batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 30 mA continuous-sufficient for low-power logic, SIM cards, and LED biasing. |
| Output Ripple | 35 mVPP at 30 mA-achieved with 2.2 μF ceramic COUT and 0.22 μF CPUMP, enabling clean digital rail generation. |
| Quiescent Current | 65 μA typical-minimizes battery drain in always-on subsystems like smart card readers. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 μA typical-enables multi-year shelf life in battery-backed modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz-permits use of small 0402/0603 ceramic capacitors, reducing PCB area vs. inductor-based solutions. |
Pinout & Package
REG71050DDCTG4 is housed in a 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm SON-6 package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in high-ambient environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V unregulated source; connects to 2.2 μF input capacitor for peak current handling. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 5.0 V; connects directly to load and 2.2 μF output capacitor to suppress ripple. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and pump circuits; must be tied to thermal pad for thermal performance. |
| Enable | Control input | Active-high logic signal (1.3–VIN V); pulls low to reduce supply current to 0.01 μA and disconnect output. |
| Cpump+ | Flying capacitor terminal | Connects to positive side of 0.22 μF flying capacitor; alternates polarity during charge/discharge cycles. |
| Cpump− | Flying capacitor terminal | Connects to negative side of 0.22 μF flying capacitor; completes charge-pump switching loop with Cpump+. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost mode switching | Seamlessly transitions between step-up and step-down operation without external control or mode pins. |
| No inductor required | Eliminates magnetic components, EMI filters, and layout sensitivity-reducing BOM cost and board area by >30% vs. inductive DC-DC. |
| Low input current ripple | Peak input current limited internally, easing requirements on input source impedance and battery pulsing behavior. |
| Thermal and current protection | Shuts down at 160°C junction temperature and limits short-circuit current to ~100 mA, preventing damage during fault conditions. |
| 1-MHz oscillator with small caps | Enables use of 0.22 μF flying and 2.2 μF input/output ceramics-compatible with 0402/0603 footprints and high-density layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REG71050DDCR | Same electrical specs and SON-6 package; differs only in tape-and-reel quantity (3000 vs. 250) and part marking (GAAI vs. GAAI). | No functional difference; identical thermal, electrical, and mechanical behavior in circuit. | Select REG71050DDCR for high-volume production; REG71050DDCTG4 suits prototyping and low-quantity builds. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Fixed 5-V output, but rated for 60 mA max and uses different charge-pump architecture with higher quiescent current (120 μA). | Better suited for higher-current loads; less optimal for ultra-low-power shutdown scenarios due to higher ISD. | Choose TPS60403DBVR only if >30 mA sustained output is required; otherwise REG71050DDCTG4 offers superior IQ and smaller footprint. |
Compared with REG71050DDCR, REG71050DDCTG4 offers identical performance in a smaller reel format ideal for evaluation; versus TPS60403DBVR, it delivers lower quiescent current and tighter output regulation at light loads-critical for battery longevity in intermittent-use devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the REG71050DDCTG4?
The REG71050DDCTG4 delivers up to 30 mA continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to 85°C, VIN ≥ 3 V). At higher input voltages (e.g., VIN = 3.3–4.2 V), it supports up to 60 mA in pulsed operation per the datasheet's efficiency curves and electrical characteristics table. Exceeding 30 mA continuously may trigger thermal shutdown depending on ambient and PCB layout.
Does the REG71050DDCTG4 require external diodes or inductors?
No, the REG71050DDCTG4 is a fully integrated switched-capacitor voltage converter and requires no external diodes or inductors. Only three external ceramic capacitors are needed: 2.2 μF input (CIN), 2.2 μF output (COUT), and 0.22 μF flying capacitor (CPUMP). This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies layout compared to inductive DC-DC solutions.
How does the REG71050DDCTG4 handle input voltages both above and below 5 V?
The REG71050DDCTG4 automatically switches between buck (step-down) and boost (step-up) modes based on real-time VIN relative to its fixed 5-V output. When VIN > 5 V, it operates in buck mode using Q4 conduction and Q2 switching; when VIN < 5 V, it enters boost mode with alternating charge/discharge of CPUMP. No external mode control or configuration is required-the transition occurs seamlessly within the IC.
What is the shutdown current specification for the REG71050DDCTG4?
The REG71050DDCTG4 draws just 0.01 μA typical shutdown current when the Enable pin is pulled low and VIN is within the recommended operating range (≥1.8 V). This ultra-low ISD enables multi-year battery life in standby applications such as SIM card modules and secure authentication tokens where power budget is critical.
Can the REG71050DDCTG4 be used in parallel to increase output current?
Yes, the REG71050DDCTG4 supports parallel operation to double output current capacity. As documented in the datasheet's Figure 22, two synchronized REG71050DDCTG4 units can deliver up to 60 mA at 5 V when supplied from 2.2–5.5 V input. Both Enable pins must be tied together, and individual CIN/COUT/CPUMP networks should be maintained to ensure balanced loading and stability.
