Product details
Overview
TPS61002DGSG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 2.5 V, non-synchronous boost converter optimized for single- or dual-cell battery systems. It delivers up to 250 mA output current from 1.8 V input, starts up into full load at 0.9 V, and integrates low-battery detection (LBI/LBO) and antiringing switch functionality for EMI reduction. It is used in portable medical diagnostics and wireless headsets requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61002DGSG4 datasheet, TPS61002DGSG4 pinout, TPS61002DGSG4 application, or TPS61002DGSG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum startup voltage (0.9 V), fixed 2.5 V output accuracy (±3% over load/temperature), integrated low-battery comparator threshold (500 mV), and MSOP-10 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The TPS61002DGSG4 employs a fixed-frequency (500 kHz) current-mode PWM controller with automatic transition into power-save mode below ~10 mA load to sustain >85% efficiency at light loads. Its internal 1.1 A switch current limit and UVLO (~0.7 V shutdown, 0.9 V startup) enable reliable operation across NiMH/NiCd/alkaline discharge curves.
It integrates a dedicated antiringing switch that clamps SW-to-VBAT during discontinuous conduction mode, suppressing inductor ringing and reducing radiated EMI without external snubbers. The LBI/LBO circuit provides programmable low-battery warning via external resistor divider, active only when EN is high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±3% over full temperature and load range - ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers in battery-powered devices. |
| Startup Input Voltage | 0.9 V at full load - enables operation deep into alkaline/NiMH discharge, extending usable battery life. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA from 1.8 V input - supports moderate-power peripherals like OLED displays or RF transceivers. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.1 A typical - sets safe inductor peak current margin; requires inductor saturation current >1.1 A. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500 kHz nominal - balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI filtering requirements. |
| Quiescent Current | 44 µA typical - minimizes standby drain on primary batteries during system sleep. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 µA max - preserves battery charge during long-term storage or off-state. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61002DGSG4 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 MSOP top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-high digital control: drives converter ON/OFF; <0.2×VBAT = low, >0.8×VBAT = high. |
| 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 - TPS61002DGSG4 has internal 2.5 V divider; pin left floating per datasheet. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Main return path for VOUT, VBAT, and internal circuits; must be low-impedance PCB plane. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.5 V to load; requires ≥22 µF ceramic output capacitor for ripple and stability. |
| LBO (Pin 10) | Open-drain low-battery output | Sinks current when LBI voltage drops below 500 mV; requires external pullup to VOUT. |
| LBI (Pin 9) | Low-battery input | Monitors scaled battery voltage; threshold = 500 mV ±15 mV; connect to GND if unused. |
| NC/FBGND (Pin 8) | No-connect | Not bonded internally for TPS61002DGSG4; leave unconnected (not grounded). |
| SW (Pin 7) | Switch node | Connects to inductor/diode junction; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace and local decoupling. |
| VBAT (Pin 6) | Battery input | Accepts 0.8–3.3 V; requires ≥10 µF ceramic input capacitor placed near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Start-up into full load at 0.9 V | Enables functional operation even as single alkaline cell discharges to 0.9 V, maximizing battery utilization. |
| Integrated antiringing switch | Clamps SW node to VBAT during DCM, eliminating external snubber and reducing radiated EMI by >10 dB. |
| Power-save mode | Reduces switching frequency at light loads, maintaining >85% efficiency down to 1 mA output current. |
| Low-battery comparator with hysteresis | 500 mV threshold ±15 mV with 10 mV hysteresis prevents chatter during battery voltage sag under pulse load. |
| 10-pin VSSOP package | 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm footprint supports high-density layouts in compact consumer electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61022RGET | Higher 3.6 V max input, 2.0 A switch, 2.0 MHz switching - requires smaller inductor but higher IQ (25 µA vs 44 µA). | Targets USB-powered or higher-current apps (e.g., portable speakers); less optimal for ultra-low-IQ alkaline use. | Choose TPS61022RGET only if >500 mA output or >2.5 V input range is required; otherwise TPS61002DGSG4 offers better light-load efficiency and lower BOM cost. |
| MAX77801AETE+ | Integrated Li-ion charger + boost; fixed 2.5 V output; 1.2 A switch; 2.2 MHz - adds charging function but larger 16-pin TQFN. | Designed for rechargeable single-cell systems (e.g., wearables); not suitable for primary battery-only designs. | Select MAX77801AETE+ only when battery charging capability is needed; TPS61002DGSG4 remains preferred for disposable or non-rechargeable applications due to simpler layout and lower cost. |
Compared with TPS61022RGET and MAX77801AETE+, the TPS61002DGSG4 delivers superior light-load efficiency (<50 µA IQ), minimal external component count (no charging circuitry), and proven reliability in primary-cell medical and audio devices - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, long-life, low-power boost applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS61002DGSG4 to start up under full load?
The TPS61002DGSG4 starts up into full load at 0.9 V across the full temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). Once started, it continues regulating down to 0.8 V input. This specification is verified per SLVS279D Section 7.5 and enables operation deep into alkaline and NiMH battery discharge profiles. The TPS61002DGSG4 achieves this via optimized UVLO hysteresis and low-threshold internal circuitry.
Can the output voltage of TPS61002DGSG4 be adjusted externally?
No, the TPS61002DGSG4 has a factory-trimmed fixed 2.5 V output. Its FB pin is not connected internally and must remain unconnected (floating) per datasheet guidance. Adjustable versions (e.g., TPS61000 or TPS61007) require external resistor dividers, but the TPS61002DGSG4 uses an integrated resistive divider - no external components affect its output voltage.
How does the low-battery detection function work on TPS61002DGSG4?
The TPS61002DGSG4 implements low-battery detection via LBI (Pin 9) and LBO (Pin 10). When the voltage at LBI falls below 500 mV ±15 mV, LBO pulls low (open-drain). LBI must be connected to a resistor divider from VBAT to GND to set the battery threshold; if unused, connect LBI to GND. The function is disabled when EN = low.
What is the purpose of the NC/FBGND pin (Pin 8) on TPS61002DGSG4?
Pin 8 (NC/FBGND) is a no-connect terminal for the TPS61002DGSG4. It is not bonded internally and serves no electrical function. Unlike the TPS61007, which uses this pin as FBGND, the TPS61002DGSG4 has no feedback ground requirement. Leaving Pin 8 unconnected is mandatory - grounding it may cause undefined behavior or damage.
Does TPS61002DGSG4 require an external compensation network?
Yes, the TPS61002DGSG4 requires an external R-C-C compensation network connected to the COMP pin (Pin 2) to stabilize the control loop. This network sets phase margin and transient response. Typical values are 10 kΩ, 100 pF, and 33 nF, as shown in Figure 17 of SLVS279D. Omitting or mis-sizing this network risks oscillation or poor load-step response.
