Product details
Overview
REG711EA-5/250 from Texas Instruments is a 50mA switched-capacitor DC/DC converter delivering a regulated 5.0V output from 2.7V–5.5V input, featuring automatic buck/boost mode switching, 1MHz internal oscillator, and thermal/current protection in an MSOP-8 package. It enables compact, inductorless power conversion for battery-powered portable devices requiring stable 5V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the REG711EA-5/250 datasheet, REG711EA-5/250 pinout, REG711EA-5/250 application, or REG711EA-5/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility (2.7V–5.5V), 50mA output capability, shutdown current (<2µA), output ripple (≤40mVp-p at 50mA), and MSOP-8 thermal resistance (150°C/W).
Technical Context
The REG711EA-5/250 operates in automatic step-up or step-down mode depending on input-to-output voltage relationship: it enters boost mode when VIN < 3.2V (for 5V output) and functions as a variable pulse-width switch-mode regulator in buck mode above that threshold. Its charge-pump architecture uses CPUMP, CIN, and COUT to achieve regulation without inductors.
Internal protection includes thermal shutdown at 160°C with 140°C recovery, current limiting up to 80mA short-circuit output, and low-noise operation enabled by 1MHz switching and peak current reduction circuitry. Quiescent current is 60µA at no load and drops to <2µA in shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±2.5% (4.75–5.25V) at ≤50mA load ensures stable logic-level supply for microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2V), and USB-powered systems. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA continuous output sustains power for SIM cards, smart card readers, and low-power LCD bias rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz oscillator enables use of small 0.22µF ceramic pump capacitor and 2.2µF input/output capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Output Ripple | ≤40mVp-p at 50mA load meets noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystem requirements without additional filtering. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA at no load and <2µA in shutdown extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode applications. |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at 160°C junction temperature and recovers at 140°C, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
REG711EA-5/250 is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (VSSOP-DGK) package with 0.65mm pitch and <1.1mm height, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must be left floating-no PCB trace or component connection required. |
| 2 (ENABLE) | Logic Control Input | Active-high enable: ≥1.3V enables regulation; ≤0.4V places device in <2µA shutdown mode. |
| 3 (VIN) | Main Power Input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V unregulated source; supplies both charge pump and internal circuitry. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Reference node for internal control circuitry; separate from power ground (PGND) to reduce noise coupling. |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 5.0V ±2.5% to load; requires 2.2µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R) placed adjacent to pin. |
| 6 (CPUMP+) | Charge Pump Positive Terminal | Connects to positive side of 0.22µF ceramic pump capacitor; critical path for charge transfer efficiency. |
| 7 (CPUMP−) | Charge Pump Negative Terminal | Connects to negative side of 0.22µF pump capacitor; forms flying capacitor loop with CPUMP+. |
| 8 (PGND) | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for pump and output capacitors; must be star-connected to minimize ripple and EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless Architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and associated EMI, enabling ultra-thin (<1.1mm) PCB profiles for handheld meters and PCMCIA cards. |
| Auto Buck/Boost Mode Switching | Maintains 5V regulation across full 2.7–5.5V input range-no external mode selection or control logic needed. |
| Low-Ripple 1MHz Operation | Enables use of compact 0.22µF/2.2µF ceramic capacitors instead of larger tantalum or electrolytic types, reducing cost and footprint. |
| Ultra-Low Shutdown Current | <2µA shutdown current preserves battery charge during extended idle periods in smart card readers and modems. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown (160°C) and current limit (80mA) prevent failure under fault conditions without external circuitry. |

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, ±1.5% accuracy, 1.2MHz switching, SO-8 package. | Higher output current and tighter regulation, but larger SO-8 footprint and higher quiescent current (120µA). | Choose MAX680ESA+ when >50mA load or tighter output tolerance is required; verify layout compatibility with SO-8 vs MSOP-8. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 5V output, 60mA max, ±3% accuracy, 1MHz switching, SOT-23-6 package, no ENABLE pin. | Smaller SOT-23-6 footprint but lacks shutdown control and has wider output tolerance; requires external resistor divider for feedback. | Choose TPS60403DBVR only for space-constrained designs where shutdown control is unnecessary and ±3% output variation is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, REG711EA-5/250 offers optimal balance of 50mA capability, 2.7–5.5V input flexibility, <2µA shutdown, and MSOP-8 thermal performance-making it ideal for battery-powered smart card and modem applications where size, efficiency, and control granularity matter.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for REG711EA-5/250 to start up and regulate?
The REG711EA-5/250 guarantees startup with input voltages as low as 2.7V. Below this threshold, regulation cannot be maintained-this is specific to the -5V version, unlike other REG711 variants which support down to 1.8V. The device remains functional across its full 2.7V–5.5V operating range, automatically switching between buck and boost modes to sustain 5.0V output.
Does REG711EA-5/250 require external compensation components?
No, REG711EA-5/250 does not require external compensation components. Its internal control loop is fully integrated and factory-trimmed for stability with standard 2.2µF ceramic input/output capacitors and a 0.22µF ceramic pump capacitor. Adding external resistors or capacitors to the feedback path will disrupt regulation and is not supported per the datasheet.
Can REG711EA-5/250 drive a 50mA load continuously across its full temperature range?
Yes, REG711EA-5/250 is rated for 50mA continuous output across its specified operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. At elevated ambient temperatures (>70°C), thermal derating applies due to its 150°C/W θJA; maintaining adequate PCB copper area on PGND and proper airflow ensures full 50mA delivery without thermal shutdown.
What is the recommended capacitor dielectric type for REG711EA-5/250?
X7R or X5R ceramic dielectrics are explicitly recommended for CIN, COUT, and CPUMP in REG711EA-5/250 designs. These materials provide stable capacitance over voltage and temperature, low ESR (<0.1Ω), and minimal microphonic effects-critical for achieving ≤40mVp-p output ripple. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are discouraged due to higher ESR and inductance.
Is REG711EA-5/250 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, REG711EA-5/250 is RoHS compliant and features lead-free terminations with NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) or NiPdAu/NiPdAu plating, per TI's packaging addendum. It carries Moisture Sensitivity Level 2 (260°C peak reflow, 1-year floor life) and is qualified for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
