Product details
Overview
SN0304078DBVT from Texas Instruments is a regulated switched-capacitor voltage converter that delivers a stable 5.0 V output from input voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, supports up to 30 mA load current, operates at 1 MHz internal oscillator frequency, and features shutdown mode with <1 µA quiescent current - ideal for SIM card power supplies in portable communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the SN0304078DBVT datasheet, SN0304078DBVT pinout, SN0304078DBVT application, or SN0304078DBVT equivalent, key selection considerations include its inductorless charge-pump topology, thermal/current protection, SOT23-6 package constraints, and compatibility with ceramic capacitors for low-EMI battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The SN0304078DBVT uses a fixed-frequency (1 MHz) charge-pump architecture with cycle-skipping regulation to maintain 5.0 V ±3% output across varying input conditions (2.7–5.5 V) and load currents up to 30 mA. It operates in boost mode without inductors by alternately charging and stacking pump capacitor voltage with VIN.
Internal protection includes thermal shutdown at 160°C (recovery at 140°C) and current limiting up to 100 mA short-circuit capability. Enable control accepts logic-level inputs (VIH ≥1.3 V, VIL ≤0.4 V), and ground current drops to ≤1 µA in shutdown - critical for ultra-low-power portable applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±3% over 2.7–5.5 V input and 0–30 mA load - ensures stable supply for 5 V logic or analog circuitry without external feedback tuning. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), two-cell NiMH/alkaline (2.4–3.6 V), and three-cell alkaline (3.6–4.8 V) battery sources. |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz - enables use of small 0.22 µF pump and 2.2 µF input/output ceramic capacitors, reducing board area and cost vs. lower-frequency solutions. |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical (no load), <1 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in standby modes for handheld meters and PCMCIA cards. |
| Output Ripple | 35 mVPP at 30 mA load - meets noise-sensitive requirements for white LED drivers and LCD bias supplies when using low-ESR X7R/X5R ceramics. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (100 mA short-circuit), and ESD-hardened design - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (DBV designation), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, 1.45 mm height, thermal resistance θJA = 200°C/W - suitable for space-constrained portable PCBs with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Power Supply | Accepts unregulated 2.7–5.5 V; requires local 2.2 µF ceramic decoupling to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for input, output, and enable; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| EN | Enable Control Input | Active-high logic input; drives device into shutdown (<1 µA IQ) when pulled low (<0.4 V); 100 nA leakage allows direct MCU GPIO control. |
| VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers 5.0 V ±3% to load; requires 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for ripple suppression. |
| CIN | Charge Pump Input Capacitor Terminal | Connects to 0.22 µF ceramic pump capacitor; internal FET switching node - sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| COUT | Charge Pump Output Capacitor Terminal | Connects to second 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor; forms flying-capacitor network with CIN to generate boosted voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor DC/DC conversion | Eliminates magnetic components, EMI filters, and layout sensitivity - simplifies compliance testing for handheld medical and consumer devices. |
| Low input current ripple | Peak input current limited internally - reduces stress on battery cells and avoids triggering protection circuits in smart card readers. |
| Thermal and current limit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown at 160°C and hard current limit at 100 mA - prevents damage during hot-plug events or output shorts in modems. |
| 1 MHz oscillator with small capacitors | Enables 0.22 µF pump and 2.2 µF I/O ceramics - cuts total BOM cost by ~30% versus 100 kHz charge pumps requiring larger, higher-ESR tantalums. |
Applications
| Smart Card Readers | SIM Card Supplies |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60403DBVR | Same SOT23-6 package, 5.0 V output, but higher 60 mA output current and 2.5 V min input; no thermal shutdown. | Supports heavier loads in modems and PCMCIA cards; lacks thermal protection for sustained overload scenarios. | Select when >30 mA continuous output is required and thermal margin is managed externally. |
| MAX680ESA+ | 5 V output, SO-8 package, ±5% output tolerance, no enable pin, 100 mA short-circuit rating. | Requires larger PCB area and lacks shutdown control - unsuitable for battery-critical handheld meters. | Choose only if board space permits SO-8 and enable functionality is not needed. |
Compared with TPS60403DBVR and MAX680ESA+, the SN0304078DBVT offers tighter output regulation (±3% vs. ±5%), integrated thermal shutdown, and ultra-low shutdown current (<1 µA), making it optimal for space- and power-constrained portable designs where reliability under variable load and temperature is critical.

FAQ
What is the output voltage accuracy of the SN0304078DBVT across temperature and load?
The SN0304078DBVT maintains an output voltage of 5.0 V with ±3% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and load currents up to 30 mA. At 25°C and 10 mA load, typical output is exactly 5.0 V; worst-case deviation remains within 4.7–5.3 V per electrical characteristics table in SBAS284A.
Does the SN0304078DBVT require external feedback resistors to set output voltage?
No, the SN0304078DBVT is a fixed-output device with internally trimmed 5.0 V regulation - no external resistors or compensation components are needed. Its charge-pump topology and internal reference eliminate feedback loop design complexity, reducing BOM count and layout risk compared to adjustable DC/DC converters.
Can the SN0304078DBVT operate with input voltage lower than its 5 V output?
Yes, the SN0304078DBVT is designed to operate in boost mode and functions correctly even when VIN is below VOUT - for example, delivering regulated 5.0 V from a 2.7 V Li-ion cell. Its charge-pump architecture inherently supports input-to-output ratios less than unity without dropout or regulation loss.
What capacitor types and values are recommended for SN0304078DBVT?
Texas Instruments specifies X7R or X5R ceramic capacitors: 2.2 µF for CIN and COUT, and 0.22 µF for CPUMP, all rated ≥6.3 V. Leaded or tantalum capacitors are discouraged due to higher ESR and inductance, which increase output ripple beyond the specified 35 mVPP at 30 mA load.
How does thermal shutdown work in the SN0304078DBVT?
The SN0304078DBVT disables output when junction temperature reaches ~160°C and automatically resumes operation once temperature falls to ~140°C. This hysteresis prevents oscillation during thermal stress. The SOT23-6 package has θJA = 200°C/W, so continuous 30 mA operation at 5.5 V input requires adequate copper pour or airflow to avoid repeated cycling.
