Product details
Overview
TPS60310DGSR from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, regulated charge pump DC/DC converter optimized for single-cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd batteries (0.9–1.8 V input), delivering 2×VIN on OUT1 (up to 40 mA) and regulated 3.3 V ±4% on OUT2 (up to 20 mA) with snooze-mode quiescent current <2 µA. It enables compact, low-EMI power in hearing instruments and portable smart card readers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60310DGSR datasheet, TPS60310DGSR pinout, TPS60310DGSR application, or TPS60310DGSR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-world efficiency curves, power-good interface behavior, and validated alternative selection guidance for battery-powered space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TPS60310DGSR integrates two independent charge pump stages: a voltage doubler (CP1) generating OUT1 at 2×VIN, and a regulated 1.5×/2× charge pump (CP2) with internal reference and error amplifier delivering stable 3.3 V on OUT2. Automatic mode selection between 3× and 4× conversion maintains >90% peak efficiency across 0.9–1.8 V input range.
Snooze mode disables the main error amplifier (4% tolerance, 50 µA supply) and engages a low-power 10% tolerance regulator (2 µA typical IQ) when load drops below 1–4 mA on OUT2-enabling ultra-low-power operation compatible with MSP430 microcontroller sleep states. The open-drain PG output asserts high when OUT2 reaches ≥98% of nominal voltage.

TPS60310DGSR is housed in a 10-pin MSOP (DGS) package measuring 3.05 mm × 4.98 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in hearing aids and metering applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SNOOZE (Pin 1) | Input control | Low enables snooze mode; high forces normal regulation - direct GPIO interface with no external pull required |
| C1– (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor terminal | Negative node of C1F; switches between VIN and OUT1 during CP1 charge/discharge cycles |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Power input | Main supply input; requires ≥1-µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and ripple suppression |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60312DGSR | Identical pinout and electrical specs, but push-pull PG output instead of open-drain | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; better suited for driving logic inputs directly | Select when interfacing PG to CMOS inputs without external biasing |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Single-output 3.3 V boost converter (no 2×VIN rail); 1.8 µA shutdown IQ; 2.5 V–5.5 V input | Lacks dual-rail capability; requires separate bias generation for transducer drivers | Select only if OUT1 functionality is unnecessary and input voltage exceeds 2.5 V |
Compared with TPS60310DGSR, TPS60312DGSR offers identical performance with simplified PG interface, while MAX17222ETA+ trades dual-rail flexibility for lower quiescent current at higher input voltages-making TPS60310DGSR uniquely suited for sub-1.8 V single-cell systems requiring both regulated and doubled outputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of TPS60310DGSR on each rail?
The TPS60310DGSR delivers up to 40 mA on OUT1 (2×VIN) when OUT2 is unloaded, and up to 20 mA on OUT2 (regulated 3.3 V) when OUT1 is unloaded. Simultaneous loading is permitted, but total current drawn from the first charge pump stage must not exceed 40 mA-for example, 20 mA on OUT1 and 10 mA on OUT2 is valid. This constraint ensures stable regulation and thermal safety under all operating conditions.
How does the snooze mode function in TPS60310DGSR, and what triggers exit?
In TPS60310DGSR, snooze mode is enabled by pulling the SNOOZE pin low and activates automatically when OUT2 load falls below 1–4 mA (depending on input voltage). It reduces quiescent current to ≤4 µA by disabling the main error amplifier and engaging a low-power 10% tolerance regulator. Exit occurs immediately when load exceeds the threshold-restoring full 3.3 V ±4% regulation without delay or software intervention.
What external components are mandatory for stable operation of TPS60310DGSR?
TPS60310DGSR requires exactly five 1-µF ceramic capacitors: one input capacitor (CIN) on VIN, two flying capacitors (C1F, C2F), and two output capacitors (C(OUT1), C(OUT2)). All must be placed adjacent to their respective pins. No inductors, diodes, or resistors are needed-this minimal BOM enables rapid prototyping and high-reliability deployment in medical and industrial environments.
Is the PG output of TPS60310DGSR compatible with 1.8-V logic interfaces?
Yes-the PG output of TPS60310DGSR is open-drain and rated for up to 3.6 V absolute maximum. When pulled up to 1.8 V (e.g., using a 100-kΩ resistor to a 1.8-V rail), it safely interfaces with 1.8-V GPIO inputs. The PG pin asserts low when OUT2 is out of regulation and goes high when voltage reaches ≥98% of 3.3 V-providing robust power sequencing without level-shifting circuitry.
Can TPS60310DGSR operate from a partially discharged alkaline cell?
Yes-TPS60310DGSR is explicitly characterized down to 0.9 V input, matching the end-of-life voltage of a single alkaline cell. Its ability to maintain 3.3 V ±4% regulation and deliver 20 mA even at 0.9 V input ensures full functionality through the entire battery discharge curve, maximizing usable capacity and eliminating premature device shutdown in pagers and toys.
