Product details
Overview
REG710NA-2.7/3K from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 2.7 V switched-capacitor buck-boost charge pump IC delivering up to 30 mA output current with ±5% output voltage accuracy, 35 mVPP ripple at 30 mA, and 90% peak efficiency at light load. It operates across 1.8 V–5.5 V input, supports automatic step-up/step-down mode switching, and targets low-power portable systems requiring compact, inductorless DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the REG710NA-2.7/3K datasheet, REG710NA-2.7/3K pinout, REG710NA-2.7/3K application, or REG710NA-2.7/3K equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility (1.8–5.5 V), 2.7 V fixed output tolerance (±5%), shutdown current (<1 μA), thermal protection (160°C trip), and SOT-23-6 package constraints for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The REG710NA-2.7/3K implements a variable-frequency switched-capacitor topology with automatic mode selection: it operates in step-down (buck) mode when VIN > 3.4 V and switches to step-up (boost) mode below that threshold. Internal 1 MHz oscillator enables use of small 0.22 μF flying and 2.2 μF input/output ceramic capacitors.
Control logic includes active-high Enable pin with 1.3 V logic-high threshold, integrated thermal shutdown (160°C trip, 140°C recovery), and cycle-skipping regulation to maintain output stability across input and load transients. Quiescent current is 65 μA typical at no load; shutdown current drops to 0.01 μA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7 V ±5% - ensures stable bias for low-voltage logic, SIM cards, and LCD bias rails without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), alkaline (1.8–3.0 V), and NiMH (2.0–3.6 V) battery sources directly. |
| Max Output Current | 30 mA continuous - sufficient for white LED backlighting (1–2 LEDs), smart card readers, and PCMCIA interface power. |
| Output Ripple | 35 mVPP at 30 mA - meets noise-sensitive analog supply requirements when using recommended 2.2 μF X7R ceramic capacitors. |
| Efficiency | 90% at 10 mA / VIN = 2.7 V - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable applications with light-to-moderate loads. |
| Quiescent Current | 65 μA typical - extends battery life in standby mode for handheld devices and modems between active sessions. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01 μA typical - enables ultra-low-power system-level sleep states without external disconnect circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected in DDC variant). Pin spacing: 0.95 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V unregulated source; requires 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm for EMI suppression. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.7 V ±5%; connects to 2.2 μF ceramic capacitor and load; sensitive to PCB trace inductance. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal switching; must be low-impedance plane adjacent to exposed pad. |
| Enable | Hardware control input | Active-high logic (1.3 V min); drives device into <1 μA shutdown when pulled low; must not float. |
| Cpump+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to one side of 0.22 μF ceramic flying capacitor; carries high-frequency AC current during charge transfer. |
| Cpump− | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to other side of 0.22 μF flying capacitor; forms charge-pump loop with Cpump+ and internal FETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost operation | Seamlessly transitions between step-up and step-down modes at VIN ≈ 3.4 V-eliminates need for external mode selection logic. |
| No inductor required | Uses only three external ceramic capacitors (CIN, COUT, CPUMP)-reduces BOM cost, board area, and EMI emissions vs. inductive converters. |
| Low input current ripple | Peak input current limited internally-reduces stress on battery cells and simplifies input filtering for portable applications. |
| Thermal and current limit protection | Shuts down at 160°C junction temperature and limits short-circuit current to ~100 mA-prevents damage during fault conditions. |
| 1-MHz internal oscillator | Enables use of 0.22 μF flying capacitor and 2.2 μF bulk capacitors-supports compact 2 mm² solution size with standard MLCCs. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60403DBVR | 2.5 V fixed output, 60 mA max, 1.8–5.5 V input, same SOT-23-6 package | Higher output current but 0.2 V lower nominal output; tighter 2.5 V ±1.5% tolerance | Select when 2.5 V rail is acceptable and higher load current (up to 60 mA) is required. |
| MAX680ESA+ | ±5 V dual output, 20 mA per rail, 4.5–6.5 V input, SO-8 package | Dual-rail output incompatible with single 2.7 V requirement; larger footprint and higher minimum input | Use only if dual-polarity supplies are needed; not a functional substitute for REG710NA-2.7/3K's single 2.7 V output. |
Compared with TPS60403DBVR and MAX680ESA+, the REG710NA-2.7/3K provides precise 2.7 V regulation optimized for smart card and LCD bias, with superior efficiency below 3 V input and smaller solution size-making it the preferred choice where exact 2.7 V compliance and minimal board area are critical.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the REG710NA-2.7/3K?
The REG710NA-2.7/3K supports an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. This allows direct operation from single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), two-cell alkaline (2.0–3.0 V), or NiMH (2.0–2.8 V) batteries. Startup is guaranteed down to 1.8 V, and the device automatically switches between step-up and step-down modes depending on VIN relative to the 2.7 V output.
Does the REG710NA-2.7/3K require an inductor in its application circuit?
No, the REG710NA-2.7/3K does not require an inductor. It uses a switched-capacitor (charge pump) architecture with three external ceramic capacitors: 2.2 μF input (CIN), 2.2 μF output (COUT), and 0.22 μF flying capacitor (CPUMP). This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and minimizes PCB area compared to inductive DC-DC converters.
What is the maximum continuous output current of the REG710NA-2.7/3K?
The REG710NA-2.7/3K delivers up to 30 mA continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA = –40°C to 85°C, VIN ≥ 2.0 V). At higher loads, output voltage may drop outside regulation; short-circuit current is limited to approximately 100 mA for protection.
How does the Enable pin function on the REG710NA-2.7/3K?
The Enable pin on the REG710NA-2.7/3K is an active-high digital control input. Pulling it high (≥1.3 V) enables regulation; pulling it low (<0.4 V) places the device in shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to 0.01 μA typical. The pin must not be left floating and requires explicit termination to avoid erratic behavior.
What package type is used for the REG710NA-2.7/3K?
The REG710NA-2.7/3K is packaged in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DDC) case measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm with 0.95 mm pitch. It features an exposed thermal pad (non-functional in this variant) and complies with RoHS and lead-free assembly standards. The marking "GAAI" identifies the device on the top surface.
