Product details
Overview
REG711EA-3.3/250 from Texas Instruments is a 50mA switched-capacitor DC/DC converter delivering a regulated 3.3V output from 1.8V–5.5V input, supporting automatic step-up/step-down operation without inductors, featuring 1MHz internal oscillator, <40mVp-p output ripple at 50mA load, and shutdown mode with <2µA quiescent current. It serves as a compact, low-EMI power supply for SIM card interfaces in portable communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the REG711EA-3.3/250 datasheet, REG711EA-3.3/250 pinout, REG711EA-3.3/250 application, or REG711EA-3.3/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility (1.8V–5.5V), guaranteed 3.3V ±3% regulation at 50mA, MSOP-8 thermal resistance (150°C/W), shutdown control logic levels (0.4V low / 1.3V high), and absence of magnetic components in BOM.
Technical Context
The REG711EA-3.3/250 implements dual-mode charge-pump regulation: buck mode when VIN > 4.0V (step-down), boost mode when VIN < 4.0V (step-up), with automatic transition at ~4.0V per datasheet Table II. Internal 1MHz oscillator enables use of small 0.22µF pump and 2.2µF input/output ceramic capacitors.
It integrates thermal shutdown (trip at 160°C, recover at 140°C), current limiting (80mA short-circuit capability), and peak current reduction circuitry to minimize input current ripple. Ground pin quiescent current is 60µA at no load and drops to ≤2µA in shutdown, supporting battery-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for REG711EA-3.3/250 to start regulation?
The REG711EA-3.3/250 guarantees startup and regulation down to 1.8V input across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). At 1.8V input, it operates in boost mode to deliver 3.3V output up to 50mA, as confirmed in the "INPUT VOLTAGE" specification table under "All Other Models" condition.
Does REG711EA-3.3/250 require external compensation components?
No, REG711EA-3.3/250 is internally compensated and requires only three external capacitors: 2.2µF input (CIN), 2.2µF output (COUT), and 0.22µF pump (CPUMP), all ceramic X7R/X5R types in 1206 package. No resistors, inductors, or compensation networks are needed - simplifying design and validation.
How does REG711EA-3.3/250 behave when input voltage crosses the 4.0V threshold?
At approximately VIN = 4.0V, REG711EA-3.3/250 automatically transitions between boost mode (VIN < 4.0V) and buck mode (VIN > 4.0V) without interruption or output dropout. This seamless mode switching is intrinsic to its charge-pump architecture and requires no external control or configuration - maintaining continuous 3.3V regulation across battery discharge.
Can REG711EA-3.3/250 drive a 50mA load continuously at 85°C ambient temperature?
Yes, REG711EA-3.3/250 delivers full 50mA output continuously at TA = +85°C, as validated by the "MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT vs INPUT VOLTAGE" curve (Figure 5) and thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W. With proper PCB copper area on PGND/GND pins, junction temperature remains within safe limits under worst-case 5.5V input and 50mA load.
What is the recommended capacitor dielectric and case size for REG711EA-3.3/250?
Texas Instruments specifies X7R or X5R ceramic dielectrics in 1206 case size for CIN, COUT, and CPUMP. Recommended values are 2.2µF (CIN, COUT) and 0.22µF (CPUMP), all rated ≥10V. Leaded or tantalum capacitors are discouraged due to higher ESR and inductance, which increase output ripple beyond the specified 40mVp-p.
