Product details
Overview
TPS61011DGS from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.8 V synchronous boost converter IC for single/dual-cell battery systems, featuring 95% peak efficiency, 0.9 V minimum start-up voltage, 200 mA output current at 2.4 V input, integrated low-battery comparator (500 mV threshold), and autodischarge function - used in portable medical diagnostics and wireless headsets.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61011DGS datasheet, TPS61011DGS pinout, TPS61011DGS application, or TPS61011DGS equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated MSOP-10 pin mapping, confirmed fixed 1.8 V output behavior, and real-world design implications of its power-save mode, synchronous rectification, and shutdown isolation.
Technical Context
The TPS61011DGS implements a fixed-frequency (420–780 kHz), current-mode PWM boost controller with integrated NMOS/PMOS synchronous rectifier - eliminating external Schottky diodes and enabling >95% efficiency. It uses pulse-by-pulse current limiting (1.45 A typical switch limit) and automatic transition into power-save mode below ~10 mA load to minimize switching losses.
Its control loop requires external R-C-C compensation on the COMP pin; the FB pin is unconnected (fixed-output variant); ADEN enables/disables autodischarge; LBI/LBO provide programmable low-battery detection with 10 mV hysteresis; and UVLO prevents operation below ~0.7 V while sustaining regulation down to 0.8 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±3% (1.45–1.55 V min/max at 100 mA load) |
| Start-Up Voltage | 0.9 V minimum - enables operation from near-dead alkaline/NiMH cells |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA at VIN ≥ 1.8 V - supports microcontroller + sensor loads |
| Peak Efficiency | 95% - achieved via integrated synchronous rectifier (no external diode needed) |
| Quiescent Current | 46 µA typical - ensures ultra-low battery drain during active regulation |
| Shutdown Current | 1–3 µA - isolates load from battery, preventing residual discharge |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500 kHz typical (420–780 kHz range) - balances EMI and inductor size |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.45 A typical - protects internal MOSFETs under short-circuit or heavy transient loads |
Pinout & Package
TPS61011DGS is housed in a 10-pin MSOP (VSSOP-10) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation (RθJA = 161.8°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Chip-enable input | High-active enable: tie to VBAT to activate; GND disables converter and isolates load from battery |
| 2 - COMP | Compensation node | Connect R-C-C network to stabilize control loop; unused in basic designs risks instability |
| 3 - FB | Feedback input | No connection required - fixed 1.8 V output version; leaving floating is correct per datasheet |
| 4 - GND | Power and signal ground | Must be low-impedance plane; connects to thermal pad for thermal performance |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8 V; requires 10–47 µF ceramic output capacitor for ripple suppression |
| 6 - VBAT | Battery input supply | Accepts 0.8–3.6 V; UVLO engages below ~0.7 V to prevent malfunction |
| 7 - SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt - requires tight layout and Kelvin routing |
| 8 - ADEN | Autodischarge enable | Tie to VBAT to discharge output cap during shutdown; GND disables discharge |
| 9 - LBI | Low-battery detector input | Monitor battery via resistor divider; triggers LBO when scaled voltage drops below 500 mV |
| 10 - LBO | Low-battery open-drain output | Pulled low when LBI < 500 mV; requires external pull-up to VOUT for logic-level signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated NMOS/PMOS switches eliminate Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and board area |
| Load isolation during shutdown | Special backgate disconnect circuit prevents reverse current flow - preserves battery charge without external FET |
| Autodischarge function | 300 Ω internal switch discharges output cap to <0.4 V after EN=low - prevents MCU latch-up in portable systems |
| Power-save mode | Reduces switching frequency at light load - maintains >85% efficiency even at 1 mA output current |
| Low-battery detection | 500 mV ±15 mV reference with 10 mV hysteresis - enables precise battery end-of-life signaling |
| Antiringing switch | Integrated clamp suppresses inductor flyback ringing - lowers EMI without extra snubber components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61012DGS | Fixed 2.5 V output; 2.42–2.58 V tolerance; identical pinout and package | Requires redesign of downstream 1.8 V logic rails; suitable only if system voltage margin allows | Select when target load requires 2.5 V instead of 1.8 V - no layout change needed |
| TPS61200DRCR | QFN-10 package; adjustable output (0.9–5.5 V); higher 1.3 A switch limit; 2.5 µA shutdown current | Supports wider input/output ranges but lacks integrated LBO/LBI; requires FB resistor network | Choose for flexible voltage scaling or lower shutdown current - requires new layout and compensation design |
Compared with TPS61011DGS, TPS61012DGS offers identical form-factor and feature set but targets 2.5 V systems, while TPS61200DRCR trades fixed-voltage simplicity for adjustable output and lower quiescent current - demanding additional design effort for compensation and feedback.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the TPS61011DGS?
The TPS61011DGS delivers a fixed 1.8 V output with a guaranteed tolerance of ±3% (1.45 V to 1.55 V) across temperature and load conditions per datasheet Section 7.5. This tight regulation supports precision analog circuits and low-voltage logic without external feedback tuning.
Does the TPS61011DGS require an external compensation network?
Yes, the TPS61011DGS requires an external R-C-C compensation network on the COMP pin to stabilize its current-mode control loop. Omitting this network causes oscillation or poor transient response. The datasheet provides design equations and example values for common inductor/capacitor combinations.
Can the TPS61011DGS operate from a single NiMH cell?
Yes, the TPS61011DGS operates from 0.8 V to 3.6 V input, making it fully compatible with single NiMH cells (nominal 1.2 V, discharged to ~0.9 V). Its 0.9 V start-up voltage ensures reliable boot at end-of-discharge, extending usable runtime beyond conventional boost ICs.
How does the autodischarge function work on the TPS61011DGS?
When ADEN is tied to VBAT and EN is pulled low, the TPS61011DGS activates an internal 300 Ω discharge switch between VOUT and GND. This drains output capacitance to <0.4 V within milliseconds - critical for preventing undefined MCU states during power-off in portable medical and audio devices.
Is the TPS61011DGS pin-compatible with other TPS6101x variants?
Yes, all TPS6101x devices including TPS61011DGS share identical 10-pin MSOP (DGS) pinout and footprint. Swapping to TPS61012DGS (2.5 V) or TPS61014DGS (3.0 V) requires only a BOM change - no PCB revision is needed, provided downstream voltage requirements align.
