Product details
Overview
REG71050DRVR from Texas Instruments is a fixed 5.0 V output, buck-boost switched-capacitor DC/DC converter optimized for low-noise, inductorless power conversion in space-constrained battery-powered systems. It operates across 1.8 V–5.5 V input, delivers up to 30 mA regulated output, maintains ≤35 mVPP ripple at 30 mA, and supports automatic step-up/step-down mode switching - enabling stable 5 V rail generation from single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) or multi-cell alkaline/nickel sources. It is used in SIM card power supplies and smart card readers requiring precise, low-EMI voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the REG71050DRVR datasheet, REG71050DRVR pinout, REG71050DRVR application, or REG71050DRVR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed efficiency vs. load curves, real-world thermal shutdown thresholds (160°C), and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The REG71050DRVR implements a variable-frequency, capacitor-based topology with integrated FETs that automatically switches between buck (VIN > VOUT) and boost (VIN < VOUT) modes without external inductors. Its internal 1 MHz oscillator drives charge-pump operation using CPUMP, CIN, and COUT capacitors to regulate output voltage via cycle-skipping control.
It features hardware enable/disable via the EN pin (1.3 V logic high threshold), thermal shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis, current limiting (100 mA short-circuit limit), and ultra-low quiescent current (65 µA operating, 0.01 µA shutdown). Input current ripple is minimized by peak-current reduction circuitry, and ESD protection meets ±2000 V HBM.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| REG71050DDCR | Same silicon die and electrical specs; packaged in 6-pin SOT-23-THIN (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm), larger footprint, higher RθJA (204.6°C/W) | Preferred for manual assembly or legacy PCB footprints; less suitable for ultra-dense layouts | Select when board space allows larger package or existing SOT-23 layout reuse is required |
| MAX881R | 5.0 V fixed output, but limited to 25 mA max; higher quiescent current (120 µA); no thermal shutdown; requires different capacitor values | Used in cost-sensitive, lower-current applications where robustness and thermal safety are secondary | Choose only if load current stays ≤25 mA and thermal margin is sufficient; verify ripple performance with MAX881R's recommended 1 µF COUT |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for REG71050DRVR to start up and regulate?
The REG71050DRVR guarantees startup and regulation with input voltage ≥2.7 V. Below this threshold, the device may not initiate switching or maintain 5.0 V output under load. This makes it compatible with discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries (down to ~2.7 V) and ensures reliable operation across the full usable battery range in portable devices.
Does REG1050DRVR require external compensation components?
No, REG71050DRVR is fully internally compensated. It operates stably with only three external ceramic capacitors: 2.2 µF CIN, 2.2 µF COUT, and 0.22 µF CPUMP. No resistors, feedback dividers, or compensation networks are needed - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
Can REG71050DRVR be used in parallel to increase output current?
Yes, REG71050DRVR supports paralleling to double output current (e.g., 60 mA total). TI's datasheet confirms this configuration in Section 9.3.2, specifying matched input/output capacitors and synchronized Enable signals. However, individual device current sharing is not actively balanced, so derating per unit is recommended for reliability.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation of REG71050DRVR?
REG71050DRVR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its thermal shutdown activates at 160°C junction temperature, providing headroom for moderate PCB copper area and airflow. At 85°C ambient with typical layout, junction temperature remains within safe limits up to ~25 mA load.
Is REG71050DRVR compatible with ceramic capacitors having X5R dielectric?
Yes, REG71050DRVR is explicitly validated with X5R and X7R ceramic capacitors per TI's Application Note SBAS221H. Both dielectrics meet the low-ESR (<0.1 Ω) requirement for minimal output ripple. X5R is acceptable for CIN/COUT/CPUMP, though X7R offers better capacitance stability over temperature and voltage.
