Product details
Overview
REG711EA-2.7/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a 50mA switched-capacitor DC/DC converter delivering a regulated 2.7V output from input voltages ranging 1.8V–5.5V, supporting automatic step-up/step-down operation without inductors, featuring 1MHz internal oscillator, <1µA shutdown current, and thermal/current protection - used in SIM card supplies and portable communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the REG711EA-2.7/2K5 datasheet, REG711EA-2.7/2K5 pinout, REG711EA-2.7/2K5 application, or REG711EA-2.7/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility (1.8V–5.5V), 2.7V ±3% output tolerance at 50mA, MSOP-8 package footprint, enable-controlled shutdown mode, and low-noise capacitor-based topology for space-constrained battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The REG711EA-2.7/2K5 operates as a regulated charge pump with automatic mode switching: it functions in buck mode when VIN > 3.4V and boost mode when VIN < 3.4V, maintaining regulation across both regions. Its internal 1MHz oscillator enables use of small 0.22µF pump and 2.2µF input/output ceramic capacitors.
It integrates peak current limiting to reduce EMI and input/output ripple, thermal shutdown at 160°C with 140°C recovery, and overcurrent protection delivering up to 80mA short-circuit current. Quiescent current is 60µA at no load and <2µA in shutdown, supporting ultra-low-power portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.7V ±3% (2.57V–2.83V) at 50mA load; ensures stable supply for 2.7V logic rails and SIM interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V–5.5V; supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), two-cell NiMH (2.0–2.8V), and three-cell alkaline (3.0–4.5V) batteries. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA continuous; sufficient for smart card readers, PCMCIA peripherals, and low-power LCD bias supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz fixed; allows compact 0.22µF CPUMP and 2.2µF CIN/COUT ceramic capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Output Ripple | 40mVP-P at 50mA; meets noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystem requirements without additional filtering. |

Pinout & Package
REG711EA-2.7/2K5 is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (VSSOP-DGK) package, 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.0mm profile, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad; must remain floating - no PCB trace or copper pour connection. |
| 2 - ENABLE | Digital Control Input | Active-high logic control: ≥1.3V enables regulation; ≤0.4V places device in <2µA shutdown state. |
| 3 - VIN | Power Input | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V unregulated source; requires local 2.2µF ceramic decoupling within 2mm. |
| 4 - GND | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return for control circuitry; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers 2.7V ±3% at up to 50mA; requires 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 6 - CPUMP+ | Charge Pump Positive Terminal | Connects to positive plate of 0.22µF pump capacitor; high-frequency switching node requiring tight layout. |
| 7 - CPUMP− | Charge Pump Negative Terminal | Connects to negative plate of 0.22µF pump capacitor; returns to PGND via shortest possible path. |
| 8 - PGND | Power Ground Return | High-current return for pump and output stages; star-connected to VIN and VOUT capacitors' ground pads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Fixed 5V output; 100mA max; requires dual-polarity pump caps; no enable pin; ±1.5% initial accuracy. | Limited to 5V-only systems; lacks shutdown control and wide-input flexibility of REG711EA-2.7/2K5. | Select when 5V rail and higher current are required, and input voltage remains >3.0V. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 2.5V output; 60mA; integrated soft-start; 1.2MHz switching; same MSOP-8 package; 92% peak efficiency. | Optimized for 2.5V logic; slightly higher efficiency but narrower input range (1.6–5.5V) and no thermal shutdown. | Prefer for new 2.5V designs where soft-start and marginally better efficiency outweigh missing thermal protection. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, REG711EA-2.7/2K5 uniquely combines 2.7V output, 1.8V minimum input, integrated thermal/current protection, and sub-2µA shutdown - making it optimal for battery-powered 2.7V SIM and smart card applications demanding robustness and ultra-low standby power.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for REG711EA-2.7/2K5 to start regulation?
The REG711EA-2.7/2K5 guarantees startup at 1.8V input across the full operating temperature range. It maintains regulation down to 2.0V input at 50mA load, as specified in the "OUTPUT VOLTAGE" table under IOUT ≤ 50mA conditions. Below 2.0V, output voltage drops out of regulation, but the device remains functional and resumes regulation once VIN rises above threshold.
Can REG711EA-2.7/2K5 be used with tantalum capacitors instead of ceramic?
No - REG711EA-2.7/2K5 requires low-ESR ceramic capacitors (X7R/X5R dielectric) for CIN, COUT, and CPUMP. Tantalum capacitors exhibit higher ESR, which increases output voltage ripple beyond the specified 40mVP-P and may cause instability or reduced efficiency. The datasheet explicitly recommends ceramic types and warns against leaded or high-inductance packages.
Does REG711EA-2.7/2K5 support true shutdown disconnect between VIN and VOUT?
Yes - when the ENABLE pin is pulled low (≤0.4V), REG711EA-2.7/2K5 enters shutdown mode with <2µA supply current and physically disconnects VOUT from VIN. The output is actively clamped to near-zero voltage, preventing backfeed and ensuring zero-load leakage - critical for battery isolation in always-on portable systems.
What is the thermal resistance θJA for REG711EA-2.7/2K5 in its MSOP-8 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for REG711EA-2.7/2K5 in the MSOP-8 (DGK) package is 150°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer 1-in² copper pad). This value assumes minimal PCB copper; adding thermal vias and extended ground planes can reduce effective θJA by up to 40%, improving power handling at elevated ambient temperatures.
How does REG711EA-2.7/2K5 switch between buck and boost modes?
REG711EA-2.7/2K5 automatically switches modes based on input voltage: it operates in buck (step-down) mode when VIN > 3.4V and boost (step-up) mode when VIN < 3.4V. Internal control logic monitors VIN relative to VOUT and reconfigures FET switching states (Q1–Q4) without external intervention - ensuring seamless regulation across the entire 1.8V–5.5V input range.
