Product details
Overview
REG710NA-5/3K from Texas Instruments is a fixed 5-V, 60-mA buck-boost switched-capacitor voltage regulator in SOT-23-6 package. It operates across 1.8 V to 5.5 V input, delivers low-ripple output without inductors, and supports automatic step-up/step-down mode switching-ideal for powering SIM cards and smart card readers from single-cell Li-ion or alkaline batteries.
For engineers reviewing the REG710NA-5/3K datasheet, REG710NA-5/3K pinout, REG710NA-5/3K application, or REG710NA-5/3K equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.8–5.5 V), regulated 5-V output tolerance (±6%), shutdown current (<1 μA), thermal protection (160°C trip), and compatibility with 0.22 μF flying capacitor and 2.2 μF input/output ceramics.
Technical Context
The REG710NA-5/3K uses a 1-MHz internal oscillator to drive charge-pump FETs (Q1–Q4) in either buck or boost configuration depending on VIN relative to VOUT. When VIN ≥ 2.7 V, it regulates 5 V output with ±6% accuracy over load (0–30 mA) and temperature (–40°C to 85°C); below 2.7 V, it enters boost-only mode to maintain regulation.
Its control architecture includes cycle-skipping for regulation, peak current limiting to reduce EMI, and integrated thermal shutdown (160°C trip / 140°C recovery) plus current limit protection. Quiescent current is 65 μA typical, dropping to 0.01 μA in shutdown-enabled via logic-level EN pin with 1.3 V VIH threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V ±6% - stable regulation across input 2.7–5.5 V and load 0–30 mA |
| Max Output Current | 30 mA continuous - sufficient for SIM card power rails and low-power LCD bias |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), NiMH (2.4–3.6 V), and 2–3 alkaline cells |

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 5-V output, identical SOT-23-6 package, same electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3000 pcs/reel vs. 3K). | No functional difference; suitable for high-volume automated assembly where reel count matches production batch size. | Select REG71050DDCR when sourcing full reels for SMT line optimization; REG710NA-5/3K is functionally identical but shipped in 3K quantity. |
| MAX680ESA+ | 5-V output, but fixed 100-mA rating, higher quiescent current (120 μA), no shutdown pin, SO-8 package. | Lacks enable control and thermal protection; requires larger board area and draws more battery current in active mode. | Choose MAX680ESA+ only if higher output current is mandatory and shutdown control is unnecessary; otherwise REG710NA-5/3K offers superior integration and efficiency. |
Compared with REG71050DDCR, REG710NA-5/3K shares identical regulation, protection, and pinout-but differs in packaging unit size; versus MAX680ESA+, REG710NA-5/3K adds enable control, thermal shutdown, lower IQ, and smaller footprint-making it preferable for battery-constrained, safety-aware designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for REG710NA-5/3K to start regulating 5 V output?
The REG710NA-5/3K requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7 V to initiate and maintain 5-V regulation, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of TI SBAS221H. Below 2.7 V, the device cannot sustain regulation and may drop out of specification; operation down to 1.8 V is supported only for versions with lower output voltages (e.g., REG710NA-2.5).
Does REG710NA-5/3K require external components beyond capacitors?
No, REG710NA-5/3K requires only three external ceramic capacitors: 2.2 μF input (CIN), 2.2 μF output (COUT), and 0.22 μF flying capacitor (CPUMP). No inductors, diodes, or resistors are needed-making it a true 3-component solution. The Enable pin can be tied high or controlled externally, but no pull-up resistor is mandatory if driven actively.
How does REG710NA-5/3K handle input voltage crossing the 5-V output level?
REG710NA-5/3K automatically switches between buck (step-down) and boost (step-up) modes based on VIN relative to VOUT. When VIN exceeds ~3.7 V, it operates in buck mode; when VIN falls below that threshold, it transitions to boost mode-all transparently, without external intervention or mode pins. This seamless transition ensures uninterrupted 5-V output across varying battery states.
What is the maximum continuous output current for REG710NA-5/3K at 5 V?
The REG710NA-5/3K delivers up to 30 mA continuously at 5 V output while maintaining regulation and thermal safety, per Electrical Characteristics in TI SBAS221H. At higher loads (up to 60 mA), regulation holds only within narrower input ranges (e.g., 3.3–4.2 V), and thermal derating applies above 85°C ambient. For sustained 60-mA operation, parallel REG710 devices are recommended.
Can REG710NA-5/3K be used in automotive applications?
REG710NA-5/3K is rated for –40°C to +85°C operating ambient temperature and includes thermal shutdown (160°C) and current limiting-meeting basic industrial requirements. However, it is not AEC-Q200 qualified, lacks automotive-grade qualification documentation, and has no specified performance under load dump or cold-crank conditions. Use in automotive infotainment or telematics is possible only after full system-level validation and derating.
