Product details
Overview
TPS60202DGSR from Texas Instruments is a regulated 3.3 V, 50 mA charge pump DC/DC converter for battery-powered systems operating from 1.6 V to 3.6 V input. It features integrated low-battery detection (LBI/LBO), <5 mVPP output ripple via push-pull topology, and 35 µA quiescent current - enabling compact, low-EMI power supply design in portable medical instruments and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60202DGSR datasheet, TPS60202DGSR pinout, TPS60202DGSR application, or TPS60202DGSR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 50 mA output rating (vs. 100 mA in TPS60200/TPS60201), MSOP-10 package constraints, low-battery comparator threshold of 1.18 V ±4%, and absence of power-good (PG) functionality - critical for battery monitoring in glucose meters and cordless phones.
Technical Context
The TPS60202DGSR implements a dual single-ended charge pump in push-pull mode (180° phase shift), enabling continuous current transfer to minimize output ripple. Its regulation uses pulse-skip mode below 7 mA load and constant-frequency mode above that threshold, with internal MOSFET gate drive dynamically adjusted by an error amplifier fed from a 1.18 V reference.
Startup includes precharge of the output capacitor to 0.8 × VIN before switching begins, limiting inrush current. When disabled via EN, the device isolates input from load, discharges CO automatically within 0.6 ms, and draws only 0.05 µA shutdown current - ensuring reliable system shutdown and extended shelf life in battery-operated devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 3.3 V ±4% (regulated across 1.6–3.6 V input and 0–50 mA load) |
| Max output current | 50 mA continuous (at VIN ≥ 2 V; drops at lower input) |
| Output ripple | <5 mVPP (enables noise-sensitive analog circuits without additional LDO filtering) |
| Quiescent current | 35 µA (supports >1-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation) |
| Shutdown current | 0.05 µA (isolates battery from load, preserving shelf life) |
| Low-battery threshold | 1.18 V ±4% on LBI pin (configurable via external resistor divider for precise cell-voltage monitoring) |
| Switching frequency | 200–400 kHz (internal oscillator) or 400–800 kHz (external sync; avoids 455-kHz IF band) |
Pinout & Package
TPS60202DGSR is housed in a 10-pin MSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation; GND pins (1 and 2) provide dual ground paths for improved thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (LBI) | Low-battery detector input | Analog input referenced to 1.18 V threshold; connects to resistive divider from battery to enable cell-level undervoltage warning |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path for charge pump stages and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 3 (C1–) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of 1 µF ceramic flying capacitor C1; forms half of push-pull charge transfer path |
| 4 (C1+) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of C1; alternates conduction phase with C2 to sustain continuous output current |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated 3.3 V output | Supplies load directly; requires 2.2 µF ceramic bypass capacitor (Co) to ground for ripple suppression and transient response |
| 6 (C2+) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of 1 µF ceramic flying capacitor C2; complements C1 in 180° out-of-phase operation |
| 7 (IN) | Input supply | Accepts 1.6–3.6 V battery source; bypassed with 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor (Ci) to minimize input impedance and stabilize source current |
| 8 (C2–) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of C2; enables bidirectional energy transfer between input and output without inductors |
| 9 (EN) | Enable/synchronization input | Digital control: logic high enables operation; external clock applied here synchronizes switching (400–800 kHz); logic low disables with auto-discharge |
| 10 (LBO) | Open-drain low-battery output | Pulled low when LBI < 1.18 V; requires external pullup (100 kΩ–1 MΩ) to OUT or compatible rail for microcontroller interrupt signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Push-pull charge pump topology | Enables <5 mVPP ripple and eliminates need for EMI-filtering inductors - critical for space-constrained portable audio and medical devices |
| Integrated low-battery detector | 1.18 V ±4% threshold with 10 mV hysteresis on LBI/LBO pins allows precise two-cell alkaline/NiMH end-of-life detection without external comparators |
| Auto-discharge on shutdown | Discharges output capacitor in ≤0.6 ms when EN = low, ensuring safe, stable power-down state for microprocessor systems and PDAs |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 35 µA no-load draw extends battery runtime in always-on applications like glucose meters and handheld test equipment |
| External clock synchronization | EN pin accepts 400–800 kHz external clock to avoid interference with sensitive IF bands (e.g., 455 kHz) in communication devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60200DGSR | Same MSOP-10 package and pinout; rated for 100 mA output (vs. 50 mA) and identical low-battery detection | Supports higher-current loads (e.g., Bluetooth modules, brighter displays); requires same external capacitors but delivers greater peak power | Select TPS60200DGSR if system peak load exceeds 50 mA; verify thermal margin under sustained 100 mA operation |
| TPS60122DGSR | Higher efficiency (up to 92%), 100 mA output, same 3.3 V regulation, but uses different control architecture and lacks LBO auto-discharge timing spec | Better suited for longer runtime in high-duty-cycle applications; no guaranteed 0.6 ms auto-discharge - may require external discharge circuit | Choose TPS60122DGSR for efficiency-critical designs where battery life outweighs precise shutdown behavior; confirm LBO compatibility with host MCU |
Compared with TPS60202DGSR, TPS60200DGSR offers double the output current in identical form factor and feature set, while TPS60122DGSR trades guaranteed auto-discharge timing for higher efficiency and broader input range - making each suitable for distinct trade-offs in portable instrumentation versus consumer audio.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the TPS60202DGSR?
The TPS60202DGSR delivers up to 50 mA continuous output current when the input voltage is ≥2 V. At lower input voltages (e.g., 1.6 V), the maximum sustainable current decreases. This rating is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 7.5) of the SLVS274A datasheet and distinguishes TPS60202DGSR from the 100 mA-rated TPS60200DGSR and TPS60201DGSR variants.
Does the TPS60202DGSR include power-good (PG) functionality?
No, the TPS60202DGSR does not include power-good detection. It features low-battery detection (LBI/LBO pins) only. Power-good output (PG) is exclusive to TPS60201DGSR and TPS60203DGSR. The TPS60202DGSR pin 10 is LBO (open-drain low-battery output), not PG - confirmed by the Pin Functions table (Section 6) and Device Comparison Tables (Section 5) in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the EN pin on the TPS60202DGSR?
The EN pin on the TPS60202DGSR serves three functions: logic-level enable/disable control (high = active, low = shutdown), external clock synchronization input (400–800 kHz), and initiation of automatic output capacitor discharge upon disable. During shutdown, EN = low isolates input from load and discharges CO within 0.6 ms - a key safety feature for battery-powered systems documented in Section 7.5 and 8.3.1 of the datasheet.
Can the TPS60202DGSR operate from a single 1.5 V alkaline cell?
No, the TPS60202DGSR requires a minimum input voltage of 1.6 V per the Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 7.3), and its regulated 3.3 V output cannot be sustained from a single 1.5 V cell - especially under load, where voltage sag occurs. It is explicitly designed for two-cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd sources (2.0–3.0 V nominal), as stated in the Description (Section 3) and Typical Application diagrams.
What external capacitors are required for basic operation of the TPS60202DGSR?
The TPS60202DGSR requires four ceramic capacitors: 2.2 µF input capacitor (Ci) on IN-to-GND, two 1 µF flying capacitors (C1, C2) on C1± and C2± pairs, and 2.2 µF output capacitor (Co) on OUT-to-GND. X5R or X7R dielectrics are mandatory; Z5U/Y5V types are prohibited due to capacitance loss over temperature/voltage - specified in Section 9.1.1 and Table 3 of the datasheet.
