Product details
Overview
TPS60303DGS from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, regulated charge pump DC-DC converter designed for ultra-low-input-voltage battery-powered systems. It accepts 0.9 V–1.8 V input (single alkaline/NiMH), delivers regulated 3-V ±4% at up to 20 mA on OUT2 and 2×VIN at up to 40 mA on OUT1, and features push-pull power-good (PG) output for sequencing in hearing aids and portable medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60303DGS datasheet, TPS60303DGS pinout, TPS60303DGS application, or TPS60303DGS equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-V regulated output tolerance, 35 µA quiescent current, LinSkip mode operation, 10-pin VSSOP package, and compatibility with 1-µF ceramic capacitors only - critical for space-constrained, low-power embedded designs.
Technical Context
The TPS60303DGS implements a two-stage switched-capacitor architecture: first stage doubles VIN to generate OUT1 (2×VIN), second stage quadruples and regulates to fixed 3-V output on OUT2. It automatically selects between 3× or 4× conversion modes depending on input voltage to maintain regulation across 0.9 V–1.8 V.
Its LinSkip mode seamlessly transitions from pulse-skipping (low IQ) at light loads to constant-frequency linear-regulation mode above ~7.5 mA, minimizing output ripple while sustaining >90% peak efficiency. The push-pull PG output actively drives high when OUT2 reaches ≥98% of nominal voltage and sinks 5 mA, eliminating external pull-up requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.9 V to 1.8 V - supports single-cell alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH without brownout during discharge. |
| OUT2 Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±4% - tightly regulated rail for analog sensors or low-voltage MCUs like MSP430. |
| OUT1 Output Voltage | 2 × VIN - unregulated boost output usable for biasing or auxiliary rails (e.g., LCD bias). |
| Max Output Current | 20 mA @ OUT2, 40 mA @ OUT1 - simultaneous loading permitted if total first-stage current ≤40 mA. |
| Quiescent Current | <35 µA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on hearing instruments and smart card readers. |
| Switching Frequency | 470–900 kHz - fixed-frequency operation ensures predictable EMI profile and simplifies filtering. |
| Power-Good Output | Push-pull, active-high - directly interfaces with MCU reset or enable pins without external components. |
Pinout & Package
TPS60303DGS is housed in a micro-small 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package measuring 3.05 mm × 4.98 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable medical and metering devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; pulls device into <0.05 µA shutdown, isolating battery from load. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 0.9–1.8 V; requires ≥1-µF ceramic bypass to GND for stable start-up and low-noise operation. |
| C1+, C1− | Flying capacitor 1 terminals | Form first charge-pump stage; must use matched 1-µF ceramic capacitors for 2×VIN generation. |
| OUT1 | Unregulated boost output | Delivers 2×VIN up to 40 mA; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor to minimize ripple. |
| OUT2 | Regulated 3-V output | Main power rail; regulated to 3.0 V ±4% across temperature and load (0–20 mA). |
| PG | Power-good output | Push-pull active-high signal indicating OUT2 is within regulation; sinks 5 mA, no pull-up needed. |
| C2+, C2− | Flying capacitor 2 terminals | Form second charge-pump stage; paired with 1-µF ceramic capacitor for 3-V regulation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external capacitors; must be low-impedance plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Relies solely on five 1-µF ceramic capacitors - eliminates magnetic EMI, reduces BOM cost, and saves board area. |
| LinSkip operating mode | Automatically switches between pulse-skipping (IQ <35 µA) and constant-frequency linear regulation (low ripple) based on load. |
| Battery isolation in shutdown | Leakage from OUT1/OUT2 to VIN is ≤1 µA - preserves shelf life of primary batteries in pagers and toys. |
| Integrated power supervision | PG output asserts high within 400 µs of valid OUT2 voltage, enabling precise power-up sequencing for MSP430-based meters. |
| Wide input voltage support | Operates down to 0.9 V - extends usable battery capacity from fresh alkaline (1.5 V) to deeply discharged (0.9 V) states. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60301DGS | Same 3-V output but open-drain PG requiring external pull-up resistor (100 kΩ–1 MΩ). | Suitable where MCU GPIO can tolerate weak pull-up or where PG is unused. | Select when board layout allows external resistor and lower BOM cost outweighs push-pull convenience. |
| TPS60302DGS | Identical pinout and package but delivers 3.3-V ±4% regulated output instead of 3-V. | Required for systems needing 3.3-V logic compatibility (e.g., certain UART peripherals or flash memory). | Choose only if downstream circuitry explicitly requires 3.3-V, not 3-V, regulation tolerance. |
Compared with TPS60301DGS, TPS60303DGS eliminates external pull-up components and simplifies power sequencing; compared with TPS60302DGS, it provides tighter 3-V compliance for analog-sensor biasing and low-voltage MCU cores - making TPS60303DGS optimal for hearing aids and precision metering.

FAQ
What is the regulated output voltage of the TPS60303DGS?
The TPS60303DGS provides a tightly regulated 3.0-V output on OUT2 with ±4% tolerance across input voltage (0.9 V–1.8 V), load (0–20 mA), and temperature (–40°C to +125°C). This specification is confirmed in Section 8.5 Electrical Characteristics of the SLVS302B datasheet, where VOUT(OUT2) is specified as 2.88 V to 3.12 V at 1.0 V < VIN < 1.8 V and 0 < IOUT < 20 mA.
Does the TPS60303DGS require inductors?
No, the TPS60303DGS is an inductorless charge pump converter. It operates using only five external 1-µF ceramic capacitors - two flying capacitors (C1F, C2F), one input capacitor (CIN), and two output capacitors (COUT1, COUT2). This architecture eliminates magnetic components, reducing EMI and PCB area while maintaining >90% peak efficiency.
What type of power-good output does the TPS60303DGS feature?
The TPS60303DGS features a push-pull power-good (PG) output that actively drives high when OUT2 reaches ≥98% of its nominal 3.0-V value. Unlike open-drain variants (e.g., TPS60301DGS), it requires no external pull-up resistor and can sink up to 5 mA, simplifying interface with MCU reset or enable inputs in hearing aids and portable meters.
What is the quiescent current of the TPS60303DGS under no-load conditions?
The TPS60303DGS draws less than 35 µA of quiescent current (IQ) when enabled and unloaded, measured at VIN = 1.8 V per Section 8.5 of the datasheet. In shutdown mode (EN = low), supply current drops to just 0.05 µA - a critical feature for extending battery life in always-on portable medical and sensor applications.
Can both outputs of the TPS60303DGS be loaded simultaneously?
Yes, both OUT1 (2×VIN) and OUT2 (3.0 V) can be loaded simultaneously, but the total current drawn from the first charge-pump stage (supplying OUT1) must not exceed 40 mA. For example, a 20-mA load on OUT1 and a 10-mA load on OUT2 is permissible, whereas 30 mA on OUT1 and 20 mA on OUT2 exceeds the 40-mA limit and may cause regulation loss on OUT2.
