Product details
Overview
TPS61085TPWR from Texas Instruments is a high-frequency, current-mode boost DC-DC converter with integrated 2-A, 0.13-Ω N-channel MOSFET, supporting 2.3 V to 6 V input and up to 18.5 V output. It features selectable 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz switching frequency, adjustable soft-start via external capacitor, and operates in CCM/DCM/pulse-skip modes. Used in handheld GPS receivers and digital still cameras requiring compact, efficient voltage boosting.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61085TPWR datasheet, TPS61085TPWR pinout, TPS61085TPWR application, or TPS61085TPWR equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage range (2.3–6 V), peak switch current limit (2–3.2 A), feedback reference voltage (1.238 V), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), and dual-frequency operation enabled by FREQ pin logic level.
Technical Context
The TPS61085TPWR employs quasi-constant-frequency current-mode control with adaptive OFF-time for superior line and load transient response. Its externally compensated transconductance error amplifier (gm = 107 µA/V) enables stability optimization across varying output loads and input conditions.
Switching frequency is determined by FREQ pin state: grounded for 650 kHz (±170 kHz tolerance), tied to IN for 1.2 MHz (±300 kHz). The device enters pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain regulation while minimizing quiescent current (70–100 µA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), 2xAA/AAA (2.4–3.2 V), and regulated 3.3 V rails without dropout risk. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 18.5 V - configurable via resistor divider on FB pin; enables TFT LCD bias, white LED strings, and DSL modem supplies. |
| Switch Current Limit | 2 A minimum, 3.2 A max - defines maximum sustainable inductor peak current; determines power delivery capability at low VIN. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.238 V ±0.008 V - sets output regulation accuracy; used with R1/R2 divider to set VS = Vref × (1 + R1/R2). |
| Quiescent Current | 70–100 µA - enables battery-powered operation with minimal standby drain; measured at VIN = 3.3 V, no switching. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation, 136°C hysteresis - protects internal MOSFET and package during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets JEDEC JS-001 Class 2; ensures robustness during board assembly and handling. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61085TPWR is packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) with 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size and 0.65 mm lead pitch. Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 189.3°C/W (JEDEC high-K board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Transconductance amplifier output | Connects external RC network to stabilize loop; sets phase margin and transient response speed. |
| 2 - FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates VS to 1.238 V reference with ±0.6% typical accuracy. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>2 V) enables regulator; logic-low (<0.5 V) disables switching and reduces IN current to 1 µA. |
| 4 - PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for switch current; must be routed separately from signal ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor and Schottky diode; handles 2-A peak current with 0.13-Ω RDS(on) at VIN = 5 V. |
| 6 - IN | Main power input | Accepts 2.3–6 V; requires local 1-µF ceramic bypass and bulk 10-µF input capacitance near pin. |
| 7 - FREQ | Frequency select input | GND = 650 kHz (higher efficiency); connected to IN = 1.2 MHz (smaller magnetics, faster transient response). |
| 8 - SS | Soft-start control | Connects external capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) to ramp current limit from 0 A to full scale; prevents inrush into output caps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable soft-start | Controlled by external SS capacitor; enables precise inrush current limiting during power-up without external circuitry. |
| Selectably optimized frequency | 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz via single FREQ pin - balances inductor size (3.3 µH @ 1.2 MHz vs. 6.8 µH @ 650 kHz) and efficiency trade-offs. |
| External compensation | COMP pin allows tuning of loop bandwidth and phase margin for diverse output capacitors, loads, and PCB layouts. |
| Integrated 2-A power switch | 0.13-Ω RDS(on) N-MOSFET eliminates external switch; reduces BOM count and layout complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| Multi-mode operation | Automatically transitions between CCM, DCM, and pulse-skip modes to maintain regulation across 1 mA to 600 mA load range. |
Applications
| Handheld GPS Receiver | Digital Still Camera |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Higher 5-A switch current, 2.7–12 V input, fixed 500 kHz/2.2 MHz frequency selection, no FREQ pin. | Targets higher-power applications (e.g., 5 V → 20 V @ 2 A); lacks adjustable soft-start and external compensation flexibility. | Choose TPS61088RHLR only when >2 A output current or wider input range is required; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and control architecture. |
| MAX17062ETA+ | 2.5–5.5 V input, 28 V max output, 2.5-A switch, fixed 1.2 MHz, integrated soft-start, no external compensation. | Optimized for ultra-compact footprint; lacks frequency select and manual loop tuning - less adaptable to custom EMI or transient requirements. | Prefer MAX17062ETA+ for space-constrained consumer devices where fixed 1.2 MHz and simplified layout outweigh flexibility needs. |
Compared with TPS61085TPWR, TPS61088RHLR delivers higher current but sacrifices pin-compatible upgrade path and external compensation; MAX17062ETA+ offers smaller solution size but removes critical design controls like frequency selection and loop tuning - making TPS61085TPWR optimal for mid-power, thermally sensitive, or EMI-critical applications requiring full configurability.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the TPS61085TPWR?
The TPS61085TPWR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 7 V on the IN pin, as specified in Section 6.1 of the SLVSA41B datasheet. Exceeding this voltage - even momentarily - may cause permanent damage. Recommended operating input voltage remains 2.3 V to 6 V, with undervoltage lockout engaging below 2.2 V to prevent malfunction.
How does the FREQ pin affect switching frequency in the TPS61085TPWR?
In the TPS61085TPWR, the FREQ pin selects between two fixed oscillator frequencies: connecting FREQ to GND sets 650 kHz (±170 kHz), while connecting it to IN sets 1.2 MHz (±300 kHz). This selection directly impacts inductor size, output ripple, and light-load efficiency - 1.2 MHz enables smaller 3.3 µH inductors, whereas 650 kHz improves full-load efficiency by ~2–3%.
Can the TPS61085TPWR drive a 12-V, 600-mA load from a 3.3-V input?
Yes, the TPS61085TPWR can deliver 12 V at 600 mA from a 3.3-V input, as validated in the typical application circuit (Figure 8, SLVSA41B). At 1.2 MHz, with 3.3 µH inductor and PMEG2010AEH Schottky diode, efficiency reaches ~88% at full load. Peak switch current remains within the 2–3.2 A limit, and thermal performance is maintained with proper PCB copper area per RθJA = 189.3°C/W.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the TPS61085TPWR?
The COMP pin on the TPS61085TPWR is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 107 µA/V). It interfaces with an external RC network to set loop gain, phase margin, and transient response. Proper compensation - e.g., 47 kΩ and 1.6 nF for 3.3 V → 12 V at 1.2 MHz - ensures stability across load and input variations, preventing oscillation or excessive overshoot during load steps.
Does the TPS61085TPWR include built-in protection features?
Yes, the TPS61085TPWR integrates multiple protection functions: undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below 2.2 V input, thermal shutdown triggers at 150°C junction temperature with 14°C hysteresis, and overvoltage protection halts switching if FB exceeds 1.275 V (3% above 1.238 V). These features safeguard both the IC and downstream circuitry without requiring external components.
