Product details
Overview
TPS61011DGSG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 1.8 V, high-efficiency synchronous boost converter for single- or dual-cell battery systems. It delivers up to 200 mA output current from 0.9 V input, starts up at 0.8 V, integrates a 1.3 A switch, and features autodischarge and low-battery detection - used in portable medical diagnostics and wireless headsets.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61011DGSG4 datasheet, TPS61011DGSG4 pinout, TPS61011DGSG4 application, or TPS61011DGSG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum start-up voltage (0.8 V), fixed 1.8 V output accuracy (±50 mV), shutdown current (1–3 µA), integrated synchronous rectification, and MSOP-10 package compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The TPS61011DGSG4 implements a fixed-frequency (420–780 kHz), current-mode PWM boost controller with pulse-by-pulse switch current limiting (1.07–1.13 A typical). It transitions automatically into power-save mode at light loads to maintain >95% peak efficiency while minimizing switching losses.
Its synchronous rectifier uses integrated NMOS/PMOS switches (rDS(on) ≤ 0.51 Ω / ≤ 0.54 Ω at VO = 1.5 V) to eliminate external Schottky diodes. During shutdown, a dedicated isolation circuit disconnects the load from VBAT, and the ADEN-controlled 300 Ω autodischarge switch reduces residual VOUT to <0.4 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±50 mV - tightly regulated for powering 1.8 V logic rails without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 3.6 V - supports deep-discharged NiMH/NiCd/alkaline cells and enables operation down to near-end-of-life battery voltage. |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA at VIN ≥ 1.8 V - sufficient to drive microcontrollers, sensors, and RF transceivers in portable devices. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.07–1.13 A typical - sets robust overcurrent protection threshold for 10 µH inductor-based designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–8 µA in shutdown (IOFF) - minimizes battery drain during system sleep or standby modes. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 420–780 kHz - balances EMI performance and inductor size; enables use of compact 10 µH shielded power inductors. |
| Efficiency Peak | >95% - achieved via integrated synchronous rectification, eliminating Schottky forward-drop losses. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61011DGSG4 is housed in a 10-pin MSOP (VSSOP-10) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation (pin 1 at top-left corner, counterclockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - EN | Chip-enable input | Active-high digital enable; pulls internal control logic and LBI comparator offline when low - critical for system-level power sequencing. |
| 2 - COMP | Compensation node | Connects external R-C-C network to stabilize control loop; determines phase margin and transient response for 1.8 V regulation. |
| 3 - FB | Feedback input | No connection required - TPS61011DGSG4 has factory-trimmed internal resistor divider for fixed 1.8 V output. |
| 4 - GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path for SW, VOUT, and internal bias; must be low-impedance and thermally coupled to thermal pad. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8 V to load; requires ≥10 µF ceramic output capacitance (X7R/X5R) for stability and ripple suppression. |
| 6 - VBAT | Battery input supply | Accepts 0.8–3.6 V raw battery source; feeds internal UVLO, bias generation, and power switch driver stages. |
| 7 - SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor (L1); carries pulsed 1.07–1.13 A current at 420–780 kHz - requires short, low-inductance PCB routing. |
| 8 - ADEN | Autodischarge enable | Tied to VBAT to activate 300 Ω discharge path across VOUT during shutdown; tied to GND to disable discharge. |
| 9 - LBI | Low-battery detector input | Monitors scaled battery voltage; triggers LBO when input drops below 480–520 mV - requires resistive divider if used. |
| 10 - LBO | Low-battery open-drain output | Active-low flag pulled low when LBI < 500 mV; requires external pullup to VOUT for microcontroller wake-up or alert signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated NMOS/PMOS switches replace external Schottky diode - eliminates ~0.3 V forward drop, enabling >95% efficiency at 100 mA. |
| Autodischarge function | 300 Ω on-chip discharge switch reduces VOUT to <0.4 V within milliseconds after shutdown - prevents microcontroller latch-up in memory-retention systems. |
| Load isolation during shutdown | Dedicated backgate control disconnects VOUT from VBAT even when PMOS body diode would otherwise conduct - ensures true zero-load battery drain. |
| Low-battery detection | Programmable 500 mV ±15 mV threshold with 10 mV hysteresis on LBI/LBO pins - enables customizable battery fuel-gauge alerts without external comparators. |
| Start-up capability | Operates from 0.8 V input and starts into full load at 0.9 V - supports ultra-low-voltage battery chemistries including partially depleted alkaline cells. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61012DGSG4 | Fixed 2.5 V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except output voltage and FB configuration. | Requires redesign of downstream 2.5 V logic interfaces; not suitable for 1.8 V I/O domains without level-shifting. | Select only if system requires 2.5 V rail and can accommodate higher output voltage tolerance. |
| TPS61022RGET | Higher 2.2 A switch current limit, 2.5 V to 5.5 V input, 3.3 V/5 V selectable output - QFN-16 package, no LBI/LBO pins. | Lacks integrated low-battery detection and autodischarge; targets higher-power applications like IoT sensors with Li-ion input. | Choose when >200 mA output or wider input range is needed, and LBI/LBO functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS61011DGSG4, TPS61012DGSG4 offers identical form-factor and feature set but targets 2.5 V systems, while TPS61022RGET trades battery-monitoring features for higher current and input flexibility - making TPS61011DGSG4 optimal for space-constrained, low-voltage, battery-fueled 1.8 V applications requiring precise end-of-life detection.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS61011DGSG4 to start up and regulate?
The TPS61011DGSG4 starts up and delivers regulated 1.8 V output with as little as 0.9 V input under full load conditions. Once operational, it continues regulating down to 0.8 V input. This ultra-low start-up threshold enables reliable operation from deeply discharged NiMH, NiCd, or alkaline cells - a key advantage over competing boost converters requiring ≥1.0 V minimum input.
Does TPS61011DGSG4 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The TPS61011DGSG4 is a fixed-output variant with factory-trimmed internal resistor divider setting VOUT to 1.8 V. The FB pin (pin 3) must remain unconnected. Only the adjustable TPS61010DGSG4 requires external resistors on FB to set output voltage between 1.5 V and 3.3 V.
How does the autodischarge function work on TPS61011DGSG4, and how is it enabled?
The autodischarge function on TPS61011DGSG4 activates a 300 Ω internal switch between VOUT and GND after shutdown (EN = low), discharging output capacitors to <0.4 V. It is enabled by connecting ADEN (pin 8) to VBAT; tying ADEN to GND disables the function. This prevents residual voltage from causing undefined states in microcontrollers or memory during power-off.
What package type and dimensions does TPS61011DGSG4 use?
The TPS61011DGSG4 uses a 10-pin MSOP (VSSOP-10) package with nominal body size 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm and exposed thermal pad. It is distinct from the QFN-10 (DRC) variant used by TPS61010 - the DGSG4 suffix confirms the MSOP-10 package, critical for footprint compatibility in legacy designs.
Can TPS61011DGSG4 be used with lithium coin cells or supercapacitors?
Yes - its 0.8 V to 3.6 V input range supports lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032, nominal 3.0 V) and supercapacitors discharging down to 0.8 V. However, ensure maximum input voltage does not exceed 3.6 V absolute rating, and verify that the 1.8 V output meets downstream load requirements without additional regulation.
