Product details
Overview
TPS60303DGSR from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, regulated charge pump DC-DC converter designed for space-constrained, single-cell battery-powered systems. It accepts 0.9 V to 1.8 V input (e.g., one alkaline/NiMH cell), 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) supervision - enabling reliable power sequencing in hearing aids and portable medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60303DGSR datasheet, TPS60303DGSR pinout, TPS60303DGSR application, or TPS60303DGSR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-V regulated output voltage tolerance, 20-mA OUT2 load capability, LinSkip mode for light-load efficiency, push-pull PG output with 3-V high-level drive, and micro 10-pin VSSOP package requiring only five 1-µF ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS60303DGSR implements a two-stage switched-capacitor architecture: first stage doubles VIN to generate OUT1 (2×VIN), second stage quadruples VIN to regulate OUT2 at 3 V (±4%). It automatically selects between 3× or 4× conversion modes based on input voltage to maintain regulation across 0.9–1.8 V.
Its LinSkip operating mode transitions seamlessly between pulse-skipping (low quiescent current <35 µA) at light loads and constant-frequency linear regulation (low-noise, 470–900 kHz) above ~7.5 mA, optimizing both battery life and output stability. The push-pull PG output actively drives high (3 V, 5 mA sink/source) when OUT2 reaches ≥98% of nominal, supporting deterministic power-up sequencing without external pull-up resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.9 V to 1.8 V - supports single alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH cells without under-voltage lockout issues. |
| OUT2 Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±4% - tightly regulated rail for analog sensors or low-power MCUs like MSP430. |
| OUT2 Max Output Current | 20 mA - sufficient for powering RF transceivers or LCD bias circuits in portable instrumentation. |
| OUT1 Output Voltage | 2 × VIN - provides unregulated but scalable auxiliary rail (e.g., 2.0 V at 1.0 V input) for gate driving or LED bias. |
| Quiescent Current | <35 µA - extends shelf life in always-on battery devices such as smart card readers. |
| Power-Good Output | Push-pull, 3-V logic high - eliminates need for external pull-up and simplifies MCU reset timing. |
| Switching Frequency | 470–900 kHz - enables use of small 1-µF ceramic flying/output capacitors, reducing board area. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05 µA - isolates load from battery during standby, preserving battery capacity over long storage periods. |
Pinout & Package
TPS60303DGSR is housed in a micro 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package measuring 3.05 mm × 4.98 mm, optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable input | Active-high digital control: EN = high enables conversion; EN = low disables all stages and reduces supply current to 0.05 µA. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 0.9–1.8 V battery source; requires ≥1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stable operation. |
| C1+, C1− | Flying capacitor 1 terminals | Connect 1-µF ceramic capacitor to implement first charge-pump stage (2×VIN generation). |
| OUT1 | Unregulated output | Delivers 2×VIN (e.g., 2.0 V @ 1.0 V input); max 40 mA; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| OUT2 | Regulated output | Provides 3.0 V ±4% rail; max 20 mA; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| PG | Power-good output | Push-pull active-high signal indicating OUT2 is within regulation; drives 3 V / −5 mA without external components. |
| C2+, C2− | Flying capacitor 2 terminals | Connect second 1-µF ceramic capacitor to complete regulated 3-V output stage. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, outputs, and flying capacitors; must be low-impedance plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor design | Uses only five 1-µF ceramic capacitors - eliminates EMI, size, and cost penalties of magnetic components. |
| Load isolation in shutdown | Disconnects OUT1/OUT2 from VIN when EN = low - prevents battery drain during storage or deep sleep. |
| LinSkip mode | Automatically switches between pulse-skipping (≤7.5 mA) and constant-frequency regulation (>7.5 mA) - balances ultra-low IQ and low-noise performance. |
| Integrated power-good supervisor | Monitors OUT2 voltage with 2% hysteresis and 98% trip point - enables precise system power sequencing without external comparators. |
| Micro VSSOP package | 10-pin, 3.05 mm × 4.98 mm footprint - fits compact wearable and hearing instrument PCBs where space is critical. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60301DGSR | Same 3-V output and 20-mA OUT2 rating, but open-drain PG requiring external 100-kΩ–1-MΩ pull-up to OUT1/OUT2. | Suitable where MCU GPIO can tolerate open-drain signaling and board layout allows pull-up placement. | Select TPS60301DGSR only if existing design uses open-drain PG interface or requires compatibility with legacy TPS60301-based layouts. |
| TPS60302DGSR | Identical pinout and package, but delivers 3.3-V ±4% regulated output instead of 3-V; same push-pull PG functionality. | Preferred for systems requiring 3.3-V logic compatibility (e.g., interfacing with 3.3-V UART or SPI peripherals). | Choose TPS60302DGSR when downstream circuitry mandates 3.3-V supply; avoid if 3-V tolerance is strict (e.g., analog sensor bias). |
Compared with TPS60301DGSR, TPS60303DGSR eliminates external pull-up components and simplifies power sequencing; compared with TPS60302DGSR, it provides tighter 3-V compliance for analog-sensor-critical designs, trading 0.3-V headroom for improved accuracy in low-voltage precision applications.

FAQ
What is the regulated output voltage of the TPS60303DGSR?
The TPS60303DGSR provides a regulated 3.0-V output on OUT2 with ±4% tolerance (2.88 V to 3.12 V) across 0.9–1.8 V input and 0–20 mA load. This is confirmed in Section 8.5 Electrical Characteristics of the SLVS302B datasheet, where VOUT(OUT2) is specified as 2.88 V (min), 3.0 V (nom), and 3.12 V (max) under defined test conditions. The TPS60303DGSR does not support 3.3-V output - that variant is the TPS60302DGSR.
Does the TPS60303DGSR require external inductors?
No, the TPS60303DGSR is an inductorless charge pump converter. It relies solely on five external 1-µF ceramic capacitors - one input (CIN), two flying (C1F, C2F), and two output (COUT1, COUT2) - to achieve voltage doubling and regulation. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and minimizes PCB footprint, as explicitly stated in the "Features" and "Typical Application" sections of the SLVS302B datasheet.
What type of power-good output does the TPS60303DGSR have?
The TPS60303DGSR features a push-pull power-good (PG) output, capable of sourcing and sinking up to 5 mA. Unlike open-drain variants (e.g., TPS60301DGSR), it drives high actively to 3 V without requiring an external pull-up resistor. This is verified in the Device Comparison Table and Pin Functions section of SLVS302B, which states "Push-pull output stage on TPS60302 and TPS60303" and specifies VOH = 3 V at I(PG) = –5 mA.
What is the minimum input voltage required for full 20-mA output on OUT2 of the TPS60303DGSR?
The TPS60303DGSR requires a minimum input voltage of 1.0 V to deliver its full 20-mA rated output current on OUT2, as specified in Section 8.5 Electrical Characteristics: "VIN = 1.0 V, IOUT(OUT1) = 0 mA, I(PG,1) = 0 mA → IOUT(OUT2) = 20 mA". At 0.9 V input, maximum OUT2 current drops to 12 mA. This ensures robust operation across the flat discharge curve of alkaline and NiMH cells.
How does the TPS60303DGSR manage efficiency across varying load conditions?
The TPS60303DGSR employs LinSkip mode to optimize efficiency: it operates in pulse-skipping mode below ~7.5 mA (quiescent current <35 µA), then transitions to constant-frequency linear regulation above that threshold (470–900 kHz). This dual-mode behavior maintains >85% efficiency from 1 mA to 20 mA load, as shown in Figure 8 (Efficiency vs Output Current) of the SLVS302B datasheet - balancing ultra-low IQ for battery longevity and low-noise performance for analog circuits.
