Product details
Overview
TPS61002DGS from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 2.5 V, non-synchronous boost converter for single- or dual-cell battery systems. It delivers up to 250 mA from 1.8 V input, starts up at 0.8 V, integrates low-battery detection (LBI/LBO), and operates in power-save mode for high light-load efficiency. It targets portable medical diagnostics and wireless headsets requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61002DGS datasheet, TPS61002DGS pinout, TPS61002DGS application, or TPS61002DGS equivalent, key selection factors include its 2.5 V fixed output, 10-pin MSOP package, 500 kHz switching frequency, integrated antiringing switch for EMI reduction, and low-quiescent-current shutdown mode.
Technical Context
The TPS61002DGS implements a fixed-frequency current-mode PWM controller with automatic transition into power-save mode below ~10 mA load. Its internal 500 mV feedback reference and factory-trimmed resistive divider set the precise 2.5 V output without external components.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at ~0.7 V, a dedicated low-battery comparator with 500 mV threshold and 10 mV hysteresis on LBI/LBO, and an antiringing switch that clamps SW-node ringing to VBAT during discontinuous conduction mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±3% over line, load, and temperature - eliminates need for external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA from 1.8 V input - supports moderate-power peripherals like RF transceivers or LCD bias rails. |
| Start-up Voltage | 0.8 V minimum - enables operation deep into single-cell alkaline or NiMH discharge curve. |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz typical - balances inductor size, efficiency, and EMI filtering requirements. |
| Quiescent Current | <50 µA in active mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 µA - preserves battery charge during system standby or sleep states. |
| Oscillator Accuracy | ±40% over temperature - sufficient for non-critical timing; not suitable as system clock source. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61002DGS is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-high logic control; pulls device into ultra-low-IQ shutdown when grounded. |
| COMP (Pin 2) | Compensation node | Connects external R-C-C network to stabilize control loop; critical for transient response and stability. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | No connection required - internal divider sets 2.5 V output; floating per datasheet. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Main return path for switch current and control circuitry; must be low-impedance. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5 V to load; requires ≥22 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability and ripple suppression. |
| LBO (Pin 10) | Open-drain low-battery flag | Sinks current when LBI voltage drops below 500 mV; requires external pull-up to VOUT. |
| LBI (Pin 9) | Low-battery sense input | Monitors scaled battery voltage; connect to GND if unused - never leave floating. |
| NC/FBGND (Pin 8) | No-connect | Not bonded internally; no electrical function on TPS61002DGS (reserved for TPS61007). |
| SW (Pin 7) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; carries high di/dt - layout critical for EMI. |
| VBAT (Pin 6) | Battery input | Accepts 0.8–3.3 V; feeds internal UVLO, oscillator, and gate driver - primary power source. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated low-battery comparator | 500 mV threshold with 10 mV hysteresis on LBI/LBO - enables host MCU to initiate graceful shutdown before brownout. |
| Antiringing switch | Clamps SW-node ringing to VBAT during DCM - reduces radiated EMI by >10 dB compared to basic boost topologies. |
| Power-save mode | Disables switching until output droops below regulation window - maintains >80% efficiency down to 100 µA load. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 0.2 µA max - allows multi-year shelf life in battery-powered IoT endpoints with infrequent wake cycles. |
| Start-up into full load | Operates at 0.8 V input with 100 mA load - avoids cold-start failure in aging alkaline cells under load. |
Applications
| Wireless Headset Power Management | Portable Medical Glucometer |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61022RGET | 2.5 V fixed output, 1.8-A max, 2-MHz switching, QFN-16 - higher current, smaller inductor, no LBO. | Lacks integrated low-battery flag; requires external comparator for battery monitoring. | Choose when >250 mA load or space-constrained PCB demands smaller passive components. |
| MAX77801EWA+T | 2.5 V fixed output, 1.2-A max, I²C programmable, WLP-20 - includes telemetry, no LBO pin. | Requires I²C host for configuration; no hardware LBO interrupt - software polling needed. | Prefer when system-level battery telemetry (voltage, current, temp) justifies added firmware complexity. |
Compared with TPS61002DGS, TPS61022RGET offers higher output current and frequency but removes battery monitoring; MAX77801EWA+T adds digital control and telemetry at cost of pin count, layout area, and BOM complexity - TPS61002DGS remains optimal for simple, low-cost, hardware-flagged battery systems.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the TPS61002DGS?
The TPS61002DGS delivers a nominal 2.5 V output with ±3% tolerance over full operating conditions - including input voltage range (0.8 V to 3.3 V), output load (0 to 250 mA), and temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This specification is guaranteed by factory trimming of the internal feedback divider and referenced to the 500 mV bandgap voltage.
Can the TPS61002DGS operate from a single NiMH cell throughout its full discharge curve?
Yes. The TPS61002DGS starts up at 0.8 V and sustains regulation down to that input voltage, covering the entire useful discharge range of a single NiMH cell (1.2 V nominal, ~0.9 V end-of-discharge). Its power-save mode maintains >80% efficiency even at 100 µA load, extending usable runtime significantly.
Is an external feedback resistor divider required for the TPS61002DGS?
No. The TPS61002DGS is a fixed-output variant with an internal resistor divider tied to its 500 mV reference. Pin FB (3) must remain unconnected per the datasheet - adding external resistors would disrupt regulation and is not supported.
How does the low-battery detection function work on the TPS61002DGS?
The TPS61002DGS uses LBI (Pin 9) to monitor a scaled battery voltage. When LBI falls below 500 mV ±15 mV, LBO (Pin 10) pulls low as an open-drain flag. For fixed-threshold detection, connect LBI directly to GND; for user-defined thresholds, use a resistor divider from VBAT to GND with LBI at the midpoint.
What is the recommended inductor value and type for the TPS61002DGS?
Texas Instruments specifies a 33 µH shielded power inductor (e.g., Coilcraft DO3308P-333) for the TPS61002DGS. Inductor saturation current must exceed 1.1 A to avoid tripping the internal 1.1-A switch current limit under peak load. Ceramic input (10 µF) and output (22 µF) capacitors are mandatory for stability and ripple control.
