Product details
Overview
TPS61023DRLR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost converter IC designed for ultra-low-input-voltage power conversion in space-constrained portable systems. It delivers up to 3.7-A valley switch current, operates from 0.5 V to 5.5 V input, regulates output from 2.2 V to 5.5 V, and integrates dual MOSFETs (47 mΩ LS / 68 mΩ HS) in a 1.2 mm × 1.6 mm SOT563 package-enabling single-cell Li-ion or supercapacitor backup in electronic shelf labels.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61023DRLR datasheet, TPS61023DRLR pinout, TPS61023DRLR application, or TPS61023DRLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.5-V startup capability, adaptive 0.5–1 MHz switching frequency, true input-output disconnection in shutdown, ±2.5% reference accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, and pass-through mode operation when VIN > VOUT.
Technical Context
The TPS61023DRLR implements adaptive constant-on-time valley-current-mode control with internal loop compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide input/output ranges without external compensation components. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification and programmable soft-start (700 µs typical) support reliable cold-start from deeply discharged supercapacitors or single alkaline cells.
It features dual operating modes: quasi-constant-frequency PWM (1 MHz above 1.5 V VIN, scaling to 0.5 MHz below 1 V) for high-load efficiency, and auto PFM for light-load operation-maintaining >94% peak efficiency at 3.6 VIN/5 VOUT/1.5 A while consuming only 20 µA quiescent current from VOUT and 0.1 µA shutdown current from VIN/SW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct operation from single NiMH, alkaline, or deeply discharged supercapacitors |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 5.5 V - adjustable via external resistor divider; supports USB-powered peripherals and MCU I/O rails |
| Switch Current Limit | 3.7-A valley - sustains 1.5 A output at 5 V from 3.6 V input with margin for transient loads |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz (VIN > 1.5 V), 0.5 MHz (VIN < 1 V) - dynamically optimizes efficiency and step-up ratio across input range |
| Reference Accuracy | ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable output regulation in industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA from VIN and SW - extends battery life in always-on, low-duty-cycle devices like remote controllers |
| Package | SOT563 (DRL), 1.2 mm × 1.6 mm - provides minimal PCB footprint for ultra-thin consumer electronics |
Pinout & Package
SOT563 (DRL) 6-pin package: 1.2 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.4 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 3 - VIN | Main power input | Accepts 0.5–5.5 V; includes 1.8 V UVLO rising threshold and 0.5 V falling threshold for controlled start/stop |
| 4 - GND | Power ground | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance for stability |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drain of internal low-side NMOS and source of high-side PMOS; connects to external inductor and catch diode location |
| 6 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers boosted voltage; includes 5.7 V overvoltage protection and short-circuit current limiting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low 0.5-V start-up | Enables power delivery from near-dead batteries or supercapacitors down to 0.5 V, extending usable energy |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61022DRLR | Lower 3.0-A valley current limit; same 0.5–5.5 V input, 2.2–5.5 V output, and SOT563 package | Less suitable for 1.5-A continuous loads; identical footprint and pinout for drop-in replacement where current margin permits | Select when peak load ≤ 1.2 A and cost sensitivity outweighs current headroom needs |
| MAX17222ELT+T | 0.4-V min input, 2.0-A switch limit, 1.71-mm × 1.21-mm WLP package; no pass-through mode or OVP | Better for ultra-low-VIN harvesting; lacks integrated protections and requires external OVP for safety-critical use | Prefer for sub-0.5-V energy harvesting; avoid where output fault protection or 1.5-A+ loads are required |
Compared with TPS61023DRLR, TPS61022DRLR offers identical form factor and feature set but reduced current capability-making it viable only for lower-power variants. MAX17222ELT+T enables deeper discharge but sacrifices protection, integration, and output drive strength, demanding careful system-level risk assessment.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS61023DRLR to start switching?
The TPS61023DRLR requires a minimum of 1.8 V at VIN to initiate startup due to its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) rising threshold. Once enabled and regulating, it continues operation down to 0.5 V input-making it ideal for supercapacitor backup systems that discharge deeply. This two-stage behavior is confirmed in Section 7.3.1 of the official datasheet.
Does TPS61023DRLR support automatic pass-through mode, and how does it work?
Yes, the TPS61023DRLR automatically enters pass-through mode when VIN exceeds the regulated VOUT by more than 1%. In this state, the high-side PMOS FET fully turns on, bypassing switching losses and reducing conduction loss to just the RDS(on) (68 mΩ) plus inductor DCR. The device resumes PWM regulation when VOUT drops below 97% of target-ensuring seamless transition without output droop or control instability.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS61023DRLR?
The TPS61023DRLR integrates output overvoltage protection (5.7 V threshold), thermal shutdown (150°C trip, 130°C hysteresis), output short-circuit protection (current-limited to ~350 mA at VOUT < 0.4 V), and valley-current foldback under overload. These protections are hardware-based and active across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, eliminating need for external supervision circuits.
Can TPS61023DRLR operate efficiently at very light loads, and what mode does it use?
Yes, the TPS61023DRLR automatically switches from PWM to power-save mode (PFM) at light loads to maintain high efficiency. In PFM mode, it pulses intermittently-switching only when output voltage falls below regulation-achieving >85% efficiency even at 100 µA output current. Quiescent current from VOUT is just 20 µA, and shutdown current drops to 0.1 µA, supporting multi-year battery life in duty-cycled applications.
What is the recommended inductor value range for TPS61023DRLR, and why is it critical?
The TPS61023DRLR is optimized for inductors between 0.37 µH and 2.9 µH, with 1.0 µH being typical for 5 V/1.5 A output. Inductor value directly impacts ripple current, transient response, and peak switch stress. Using values outside this range risks instability, excessive ripple, or premature current-limit activation. TI recommends Coilcraft XEL4030-102ME and Würth 74438357010 for validated performance and thermal margin.
