Product details
Overview
TPS60132PWPRG4 from Texas Instruments is a regulated 5-V, 150-mA charge pump DC-DC converter for battery-powered systems operating from 2.7 V to 5.4 V input. It delivers precise ±4% output regulation without inductors, uses adaptive 1.5×/2× mode switching for up to 90% efficiency, and integrates low-battery detection with LBI/LBO pins. It serves as a compact, low-EMI 3-cell-to-5-V or Li-ion-to-5-V power source in portable medical and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60132PWPRG4 datasheet, TPS60132PWPRG4 pinout, TPS60132PWPRG4 application, or TPS60132PWPRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150-mA output current rating, 60-µA quiescent supply current, 0.05-µA shutdown current, thermally enhanced HTSSOP-20 package, and integrated low-battery comparator functionality - all confirmed for this exact variant.
Technical Context
The TPS60132PWPRG4 implements dual single-ended charge pumps with automatic 1.5× or voltage-doubler conversion mode selection based on input voltage and load current. Its ACTIVE-CYCLE regulation maintains fixed 210–450 kHz switching frequency under heavy loads while entering pulse-skip mode at light loads to reduce quiescent current.
It features an internal 1.21-V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and MOSFET switches with programmable ON-resistance control during charging phases. The LBI pin accepts a resistive divider to set low-battery trip between 1.15 V and 1.27 V; LBO provides open-drain output with 1 mA sink capability and 500 µs start-up invalidation period.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5 V ±4% (4.8–5.25 V), tightly regulated across 2.7–5.4 V input and 0–150 mA load) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA at 3 V input - defines maximum sustained load without thermal derating or regulation loss |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.4 V - supports three alkaline/NiMH cells or single Li-ion/Li-lon battery without external regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 60–100 µA - enables long standby life in battery-critical applications like glucose meters |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05 µA typical - isolates load from input and minimizes battery drain during system sleep |
| Switching Frequency | 210–450 kHz - determines capacitor sizing, EMI profile, and transient response bandwidth |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% - achieved via adaptive mode switching and low-rDS(on) MOSFETs, reducing heat in space-constrained layouts |
Pinout & Package
TPS60132PWPRG4 is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm, with exposed PowerPAD™ for improved thermal dissipation (RθJC(bot) = 3.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 7, 14) | Power input | Dual-input configuration reduces trace impedance; requires local bypass capacitor to PGND |
| OUT (Pins 5, 16) | Regulated 5-V output | Dual-output pins minimize IR drop; must be shorted together and bypassed with low-ESR CO |
| GND (Pins 1, 2, 19, 20) | Analog ground reference | Connects to internal bandgap and feedback circuitry; separate from PGND to avoid noise coupling |
| PGND (Pins 9–12) | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency charge-pump switching current; must be tied to GND with minimal inductance |
| ENABLE (Pin 3) | Logic-controlled enable | Active-high input; drives device into 0.05-µA shutdown when pulled low; connects to IN for always-on operation |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback node | Internally referenced to 1.21 V; connect directly to OUT near load for optimal regulation accuracy |
| LBI (Pin 18) | Low-battery input | Accepts resistive divider from battery; comparator trips at 1.21 V ±5%; tie to GND if unused |
| LBO (Pin 17) | Low-battery open-drain output | Sinks 1 mA when triggered; requires 100-kΩ–1-MΩ pullup to OUT; invalid for first 500 µs after startup |
| C1+, C1− (Pins 6, 8) C2+, C2− (Pins 15, 13) |
Flying capacitor terminals | Four dedicated nodes for external ceramic flying caps; critical for charge transfer efficiency and ripple control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic EMI and board area; enables ultra-thin designs in PDAs and handheld instruments |
| Adaptive 1.5×/2× mode switching | Maintains >85% efficiency across full 2.7–5.4 V input range by dynamically selecting optimal voltage gain |
| Integrated low-battery detector | Programmable 1.15–1.27 V trip point via external resistor divider; eliminates need for discrete supervisor IC |
| Pulse-skip regulation | Reduces IQ to 60 µA at light loads while preserving low output ripple and fast line/load transient response |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge pump DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60130PWPR | 300-mA output current, same 5-V ±4% regulation, identical pinout and package; includes low-battery detector | Supports higher-current loads (e.g., motor drivers, multi-sensor modules); requires larger output capacitance for stability | Select when system peak load exceeds 150 mA but layout and feature set must remain unchanged |
| TPS60111DGQR | 150-mA 5-V output, but uses different topology (low-noise charge pump); QFN-10 package; no LBI/LBO pins | Lacks battery monitoring; smaller footprint but lower thermal capacity; optimized for ultra-low ripple over efficiency | Choose for space-constrained, low-EMI applications where battery supervision is handled externally |
Compared with TPS60132PWPRG4, TPS60130PWPR offers +100% output current headroom in identical packaging, while TPS60111DGQR trades supervision and thermal robustness for size and noise performance - making each suitable for distinct power architecture priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS60132PWPRG4?
The TPS60132PWPRG4 delivers up to 150 mA of continuous output current when supplied from a 3-V input, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This rating holds across the full 2.7–5.4 V input range and 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature, provided thermal limits (TJ ≤ 125°C) are maintained via proper PCB copper pour and PowerPAD™ soldering.
Does the TPS60132PWPRG4 require external inductors?
No, the TPS60132PWPRG4 is a capacitor-based charge pump DC-DC converter and requires no inductors. It operates using four external ceramic capacitors - two flying capacitors (C1, C2) and input/output filter capacitors - enabling ultra-low EMI and compact PCB layouts ideal for portable medical and handheld devices.
How does the low-battery detection function work on the TPS60132PWPRG4?
The TPS60132PWPRG4 integrates a precision low-battery comparator with LBI input and LBO open-drain output. The internal 1.21-V reference compares against a resistor-divider voltage from the battery. When LBI falls below 1.15–1.27 V, LBO pulls low (with 1 mA sink capability). The LBO signal is invalid for the first 500 µs after startup and high-impedance during shutdown.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the TPS60132PWPRG4 have?
The TPS60132PWPRG4 uses a 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body). Its junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is 3.5°C/W, and junction-to-ambient is 178.75°C/W. At 70°C ambient, it supports 448 mW continuous power dissipation - sufficient for 150-mA operation with standard 2 oz copper and thermal vias.
Can the TPS60132PWPRG4 be used with lithium-ion batteries?
Yes, the TPS60132PWPRG4 is explicitly rated for 2.7–5.4 V input, covering the full discharge curve of single-cell Li-ion (4.2 V fully charged down to ~2.8 V). Its adaptive 1.5×/2× mode switching maintains high efficiency across this range, and undervoltage lockout (1.6 V) prevents deep discharge damage to the cell.
