Product details
Overview
REG711EA-3.3/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a 50mA switched-capacitor DC/DC converter delivering a regulated 3.3V output from 1.8V–5.5V input, operating in automatic step-up/step-down mode without inductors, featuring 1MHz internal oscillator, thermal/current protection, and MSOP-8 package for space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the REG711EA-3.3/2K5 datasheet, REG711EA-3.3/2K5 pinout, REG711EA-3.3/2K5 application, or REG711EA-3.3/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility with single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline/Ni-based batteries, low-quiescent current (60µA no-load), shutdown mode (<2µA), ripple performance (40mVp-p at 50mA), and capacitor-only external component requirement.
Technical Context
The REG711EA-3.3/2K5 implements automatic mode switching between buck and boost operation based on input-to-output voltage relationship-buck mode when VIN > ~4.0V, boost mode below that threshold-enabling regulation across wide input ranges. Its charge-pump architecture uses internal FETs (Q1–Q4) and a 1MHz oscillator to drive CPUMP, eliminating magnetic components while maintaining low EMI.
It integrates peak current limiting to reduce input/output ripple, thermal shutdown at 160°C with 140°C recovery, and overcurrent protection. Ground current is 1mA at full load, dropping to 60µA at no load and <2µA in shutdown-critical for battery runtime in handheld meters and SIM card supplies.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 2 (ENABLE) | Logic Control Input | Active-high enable: ≥1.3V enables regulation; ≤0.4V enters <2µA shutdown mode |
| 3 (VIN) | Main Power Input | Accepts 1.8–5.5V unregulated source; supplies charge pump and internal circuitry |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-noise reference for control circuitry; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3V ±3% to load; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R) close to pin |
| 6 (CPUMP+) | Charge Pump Positive Terminal | Connects to positive side of 0.22µF ceramic pump capacitor (CPUMP) |
| 7 (CPUMP−) | Charge Pump Negative Terminal | Connects to negative side of CPUMP; forms flying capacitor path for voltage doubling/halving |
| 8 (PGND) | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for VIN and VOUT; star-grounded at pin 5 to minimize ripple |

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 only; no 3.3V variant; 100mA output; requires two 10µF pump caps | Not suitable for 3.3V systems; higher output current but larger footprint and higher ripple (60mVp-p) | Select only if 5V output and >50mA load are required; not drop-in for REG711EA-3.3/2K5 |
| TLC7660IDR | Inverting charge pump (VOUT = –VIN); no regulation; ±10% output tolerance; 20mA max | Cannot replace REG711EA-3.3/2K5 in positive 3.3V supply roles; limited to inverting bias applications | Use only for generating negative rails-not a functional alternative for regulated 3.3V generation |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TLC7660IDR, REG711EA-3.3/2K5 uniquely delivers tightly regulated 3.3V output across 1.8–5.5V input with integrated protection, making it the only viable choice for battery-powered 3.3V systems requiring reliability, low ripple, and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for REG711EA-3.3/2K5 to start up and regulate?
The REG711EA-3.3/2K5 guarantees startup and regulation down to 1.8V input across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). At light loads, it can maintain regulation even below 1.8V, but 1.8V is the specified minimum for guaranteed 3.3V output at up to 50mA. This makes REG711EA-3.3/2K5 compatible with deeply discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries and two-cell NiMH packs.
Can REG711EA-3.3/2K5 be used in place of an LDO for better efficiency?
Yes-REG711EA-3.3/2K5 achieves up to 90% efficiency at 15mA load with VIN = 2.7V, far exceeding typical LDO efficiency (e.g., ~55% for 2.7V→3.3V). Unlike LDOs, it operates in boost mode when VIN < 3.3V and buck mode when VIN > 3.3V. However, it requires two external capacitors (CIN, CPUMP) and generates switching noise, so REG711EA-3.3/2K5 is best where efficiency and input range outweigh strict noise requirements.
What capacitor types and values are mandatory for stable operation of REG711EA-3.3/2K5?
For stable, low-ripple operation, REG711EA-3.3/2K5 requires ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R dielectric: CIN = 2.2µF, COUT = 2.2µF, and CPUMP = 0.22µF-all in 1206 case size. Tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to higher ESR, which increases output ripple beyond the specified 40mVp-p. All capacitors must be placed within 2mm of their respective pins per TI layout guidelines.
Does REG711EA-3.3/2K5 support automatic mode switching between buck and boost?
Yes-REG711EA-3.3/2K5 automatically switches between step-down (buck) and step-up (boost) modes based on input voltage. For the 3.3V version, it transitions from boost to buck mode at approximately VIN = 4.0V. This seamless transition maintains regulation without external control, enabling single-supply operation across diverse battery chemistries-from 1.8V (nearly depleted alkaline) to 5.5V (fresh Li-ion).
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) and maximum junction temperature for REG711EA-3.3/2K5?
The REG711EA-3.3/2K5 in VSSOP-8 package has a thermal resistance θJA of 150°C/W. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, with thermal shutdown activating at +160°C and automatic recovery at +140°C. To stay within safe operating limits at 50mA load, ensure adequate copper pour on PGND and avoid enclosing the device in sealed enclosures without airflow-especially in handheld meters operating at +85°C ambient.
