Product details
Overview
TPS61004DGSR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.0 V, non-synchronous boost converter optimized for single- or dual-cell battery systems. It delivers up to 100 mA from 0.8 V input and 250 mA from 1.8 V input, features 500 kHz fixed-frequency PWM control with power-save mode, and integrates low-battery detection (LBI/LBO) for system-level power management in portable medical devices and wireless headsets.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61004DGSR datasheet, TPS61004DGSR pinout, TPS61004DGSR application, or TPS61004DGSR equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum start-up voltage (0.8 V), output accuracy (±3% at 100 mA), integrated antiringing switch for EMI reduction, and compatibility with standard 33 µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The TPS61004DGSR uses current-mode PWM control with a nominal 500 kHz oscillator frequency and transitions into power-save mode below ~10 mA load to maintain >85% efficiency at light loads. Its internal 1.1 A switch current limit (typical) and 0.27 Ω on-resistance enable stable operation down to 0.8 V input while supporting full-load start-up.
It implements undervoltage lockout (~0.7 V), integrated low-battery comparator (500 mV threshold), and an antiringing switch that clamps SW-node ringing to VBAT during discontinuous conduction mode-reducing radiated EMI without external snubbers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±3% at 100 mA load; enables direct replacement of 3.0 V LDOs in battery-powered systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 3.3 V; supports operation through full discharge of single NiMH/NiCd (0.9–1.4 V) or dual alkaline (1.8–3.2 V) cells. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA @ 0.8 V input; 250 mA @ 1.8 V input-scales with input voltage to maximize usable battery energy. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.1 A typical; protects internal MOSFET and external inductor during overload or short-circuit conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 44 µA typical at VBAT = 0.8 V; minimizes standby drain in always-on portable applications. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500 kHz nominal; balances inductor size, efficiency, and EMI performance for compact PCB layouts. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.2 µA typical; ensures negligible battery leakage when EN = GND in deep sleep modes. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS61004DGSR is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in space-constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-high logic control; pulls device into shutdown (0.2 µA IQ) when grounded, eliminating battery drain during system idle. |
| COMP (Pin 2) | Compensation node | Connects external R-C-C network to stabilize feedback loop; required for stable regulation across temperature and load. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | No connection required-TPS61004DGSR uses internal resistor divider for fixed 3.0 V output; pin left floating per datasheet. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Main return path for switch current and control circuitry; must be low-impedance copper pour tied to thermal pad. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | 3.0 V supply rail; requires ≥22 µF ceramic output capacitor for ripple suppression and transient response. |
| LBO (Pin 10) | Open-drain LBO output | Asserts low when LBI < 500 mV; requires external pull-up to VOUT for microcontroller battery-low interrupt signaling. |
| LBI (Pin 9) | Low-battery input | Monitors scaled battery voltage; connect to GND if unused-floating LBI causes undefined LBO behavior. |
| NC/FBGND (Pin 8) | No-connect | Not bonded internally on TPS61004DGSR; leave unconnected-no grounding or routing required. |
| SW (Pin 7) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace length. |
| VBAT (Pin 6) | Battery input | Primary power source; accepts 0.8–3.3 V; requires ≥10 µF ceramic input capacitor placed near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full-load start-up at 0.8 V | Enables reliable power-up from deeply discharged NiMH cells (down to 0.8 V), extending usable battery life beyond conventional boost ICs. |
| Integrated antiringing switch | Dampens SW-node ringing during DCM without external components, reducing radiated EMI by >10 dB compared to discrete snubber solutions. |
| Power-save mode | Reduces switching frequency at light loads, maintaining >85% efficiency at 1 mA output-critical for intermittent-sensing applications. |
| Low-battery comparator | Provides system-level battery monitoring via LBI/LBO pins with 500 mV threshold and 10 mV hysteresis-enables graceful shutdown before brownout. |
| 10-pin VSSOP package | 3.0 × 3.0 mm footprint with thermal pad supports high-density portable PCBs while enabling manual rework and AOI inspection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61005DGSR | Fixed 3.3 V output; 300 mV higher nominal VOUT; identical pinout, package, and electrical specs otherwise. | Suitable where system requires 3.3 V logic rail instead of 3.0 V; not drop-in for 3.0 V-sensitive analog circuits. | Select TPS61005DGSR only if target VOUT is 3.3 V and tolerance allows +10% over 3.0 V nominal. |
| MAX756CSA+ | 500 kHz fixed frequency; 3.3 V fixed output; higher 100 µA quiescent current; no integrated LBI/LBO. | Lacks battery monitoring; requires external supervisor for low-battery warning; less efficient below 1 mA load. | Choose MAX756CSA+ only when LBI/LBO functionality is unnecessary and 3.3 V output is acceptable. |
Compared with TPS61004DGSR, TPS61005DGSR offers identical performance at 3.3 V but cannot regulate to 3.0 V, while MAX756CSA+ lacks battery monitoring and consumes more quiescent current-making TPS61004DGSR optimal for 3.0 V, battery-aware portable designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS61004DGSR to start switching?
The TPS61004DGSR starts switching at 0.8 V input voltage under full load (100 mA), as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This enables operation from deeply discharged single-cell batteries. The device remains functional down to 0.8 V input during steady-state operation, with undervoltage lockout disabling the regulator only below ~0.7 V. Startup behavior is verified across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature.
Does TPS61004DGSR require external compensation components?
Yes, the TPS61004DGSR requires an external R-C-C compensation network connected to the COMP pin (Pin 2) to stabilize the control loop. The datasheet provides design equations and example values based on selected inductor and output capacitor. Unlike fully integrated regulators, this compensation is mandatory for stable regulation across all load and temperature conditions.
Can the FB pin on TPS61004DGSR be used to adjust the output voltage?
No, the FB pin on TPS61004DGSR must remain unconnected. It is reserved for adjustable-output variants (TPS61000/TPS61007) only. The TPS61004DGSR has an internal resistor divider set for fixed 3.0 V output; connecting external resistors to FB will disrupt regulation and may cause output instability or damage.
How does the low-battery detection work on TPS61004DGSR?
The TPS61004DGSR uses the LBI (Pin 9) and LBO (Pin 10) pins for low-battery detection: LBI compares applied voltage to an internal 500 mV reference, and LBO asserts open-drain low when LBI falls below that threshold. For basic detection, connect LBI to GND to disable the function; for active monitoring, use a resistor divider from VBAT to GND to scale battery voltage to 500 mV at LBI.
Is TPS61004DGSR compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the TPS61004DGSR is explicitly designed for ceramic output capacitors, requiring a minimum of 22 µF rated at ≥10 V. Ceramic capacitors provide low ESR and fast transient response, which are essential for stable regulation and meeting the ±3% output ripple specification. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to higher ESR and reliability concerns.
