Product details
Overview
TPS60503DGSR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.5-V, high-efficiency step-down charge pump DC-DC converter optimized for space-constrained battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 250 mA output current with ≤3% output voltage tolerance over line, load, and temperature, supports 1.8 V–6.5 V input, and integrates power-good supervision and thermal/overcurrent protection. It is used in portable instrumentation requiring stable low-voltage rail generation from single Li-ion cells.
For engineers reviewing the TPS60503DGSR datasheet, TPS60503DGSR pinout, TPS60503DGSR application, or TPS60503DGSR equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum input voltage (≥2.5 V at 150 mA), 10-pin VSSOP package footprint, automatic multi-mode conversion (1/3x, 0.5x, 2/3x, LDO), and open-drain PG signal timing (97% VOUT trip, 100–200 µs positive ramp delay).
Technical Context
The TPS60503DGSR implements switched-capacitor fractional conversion using two flying capacitors (C1F, C2F) and internal MOSFET switches to achieve up to 90% efficiency across wide input/output ratios. Its control logic automatically selects among four conversion modes-1/3x, 0.5x, 2/3x, and LDO-based on VIN/VOUT ratio and load current, enabling regulation without inductors.
Regulation is maintained via an error amplifier comparing FB voltage (internally tied to OUT for fixed 1.5 V) against a 0.8-V reference. The device includes soft-start, <40 µA quiescent current, and shutdown isolation that disconnects load from input, reducing battery leakage to <0.5 µA when EN is high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±3% over line, load, and −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable core supply for low-power DSPs and microcontrollers. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA - supports moderate digital loads such as USB peripherals or audio codecs without external LDO buffering. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 6.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), NiMH, or dual alkaline supplies. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% - minimizes heat rise and extends battery runtime in portable instruments and mobile phones. |
| Quiescent Current | <40 µA - enables ultra-low standby power for always-on sensor nodes or wake-on-event systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 600–1200 kHz - allows use of small 1-µF ceramic flying capacitors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency charge pumps. |
| Power Good Threshold | 97% of nominal VOUT (≈1.455 V) - provides reliable system reset signaling before processor initialization. |
Pinout & Package
TPS60503DGSR is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP package (3.05 mm × 4.98 mm), thermally enhanced for surface-mount assembly in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-low logic control: high = shutdown (input/output isolated, IIN < 0.5 µA); low = operational. |
| PG (Pin 2) | Open-drain power good | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 1.455 V; requires external pull-up to VIN or VOUT for system monitoring/reset sequencing. |
| C2F− (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of C2F; forms part of 2-phase charge transfer network for 1/3x and 0.5x modes. |
| C2F+ (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of C2F; critical for capacitor charging/discharging sequence in all conversion modes. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Accepts 1.8–6.5 V; must be bypassed with ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to suppress switching noise and stabilize input impedance. |
| C1F+ (Pin 6) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of C1F; works with C2F to enable fractional voltage division without inductors. |
| OUT (Pin 7) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.5 V; requires ≥10 µF ceramic output capacitor (≥22 µF for >150 mA) to maintain stability and limit ripple to ≤30 mVPP. |
| C1F− (Pin 8) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of C1F; completes dual-capacitor charge-pump topology enabling high-efficiency step-down. |
| GND (Pin 9) | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| FB (Pin 10) | Feedback input | Internally connected to OUT for fixed 1.5 V operation; not user-configurable - eliminates external resistor divider. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-mode fractional conversion | Automatically selects 1/3x, 0.5x, 2/3x, or LDO mode based on VIN/VOUT ratio and load - maintains >85% efficiency from 2.5 V to 6.5 V input at 150 mA. |
| Integrated power-good supervisor | Open-drain PG pin asserts high at 97% VOUT with 100–200 µs delay on ramp-up - enables precise power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal and overcurrent protection | Shuts down output current above 150°C junction temp or limits short-circuit current to 300 mA - prevents damage during fault conditions. |
| Shutdown isolation | Disconnects load from input when EN = high, limiting leakage to <1 µA - preserves battery shelf life in storage or deep-sleep states. |
| Inductorless design | Uses only four external ceramic capacitors (CIN, C1F, C2F, COUT) - eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and saves board area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS60502DGSR | Fixed 1.8-V output; minimum input voltage 2.8 V at 150 mA - higher VOUT and VIN threshold than TPS60503DGSR. | Suitable for 1.8-V microcontroller cores but incompatible where 1.5-V logic levels or tighter input range (e.g., 2.5–3.6 V LiFePO₄) are required. | Select TPS60502DGSR only if system requires 1.8 V and can guarantee VIN ≥ 2.8 V under all operating conditions. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | 1.5-V fixed output, 300-mA capability, 2.3–5.5 V input, 0.9-µA IQ - wider input range and lower quiescent current, but uses different pinout and requires external feedback resistors for adjustability. | Better suited for ultra-low-power IoT sensors; lacks integrated PG and has no 1/3x mode - less efficient below 3 V input. | Choose MAX17222ETA+ for sub-µA standby systems with VIN ≥ 2.3 V; retain TPS60503DGSR for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs needing PG and multi-mode efficiency. |
Compared with TPS60502DGSR and MAX17222ETA+, the TPS60503DGSR uniquely balances 1.5-V precision, 2.5-V minimum input compatibility, integrated power-good signaling, and automatic 1/3x mode for highest efficiency in low-input, low-VOUT battery systems - making it optimal for Li-ion–powered portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS60503DGSR to deliver 150 mA?
The TPS60503DGSR requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V to sustain 150 mA output current, as specified in the device comparison table and validated across temperature. Below this threshold, regulation cannot be maintained due to insufficient headroom for the 1/3x and 0.5x conversion modes. Operation at 2.4 V may result in output droop or dropout, especially at elevated temperatures.
Does TPS60503DGSR require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the TPS60503DGSR does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed 1.5-V output variant with internal resistor divider connected to the FB pin, which is internally tied to OUT. Unlike the adjustable TPS60500DGSR, the TPS60503DGSR's FB pin is not user-accessible for voltage programming - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does the power-good (PG) pin of TPS60503DGSR behave during startup and shutdown?
The PG pin of TPS60503DGSR is an open-drain output that remains low during shutdown and initial startup. It transitions high only after VOUT reaches ≥97% of 1.5 V (≈1.455 V), with a typical positive-ramp delay of 100–200 µs. During shutdown (EN high), PG is actively pulled low - providing unambiguous reset signaling for downstream logic without external pull-down components.
Can TPS60503DGSR operate from a 2.7-V Li-ion cell throughout its discharge curve?
Yes, the TPS60503DGSR supports continuous operation from a 2.7-V Li-ion cell down to 2.5 V input, delivering full 150 mA output. Its 1/3x conversion mode enables regulation even at low VIN/VOUT ratios, and its LDO mode maintains output stability as the cell discharges below 3 V - making it ideal for single-cell portable systems with extended runtime requirements.
What ceramic capacitor values are recommended for TPS60503DGSR at 250 mA output?
For 250 mA output, TI recommends 4.7 µF input capacitor (CIN), two 1-µF flying capacitors (C1F, C2F), and ≥22 µF total output capacitance (COUT) - achievable with two parallel 10-µF/6.3-V X5R/X7R ceramics. These values ensure stability, limit output ripple to ≤30 mVPP, and prevent premature current limiting in linear regulation mode.
