Product details
Overview
TPS61087DRCR from Texas Instruments is a high-frequency, current-mode boost DC-DC converter IC with an integrated 3.2-A, 0.13-Ω N-channel MOSFET switch, supporting 2.5 V to 6 V input and up to 18.5 V output voltage, selectable 650 kHz/1.2 MHz switching frequency, and external compensation for stability optimization - used in portable TFT LCD bias supplies and GPS receivers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61087DRCR datasheet, TPS61087DRCR pinout, TPS61087DRCR application, or TPS61087DRCR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.2-A peak switch current limit, 1.238-V feedback reference, soft-start programmability via SS pin, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and QFN-10 (3 mm × 3 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The TPS61087DRCR operates in current-mode control with quasi-constant frequency and adaptive off-time topology, enabling fast line and load transient response. It supports continuous conduction mode (CCM) at medium-to-heavy loads and transitions to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) or pulse-skipping at light loads to maintain regulation.
Its externally compensated error amplifier (gm = 107 μA/V) interfaces with RCOMP and CCOMP to tailor loop dynamics; the FREQ pin selects between 650 kHz (GND) and 1.2 MHz (IN) operation, directly impacting inductor size, efficiency trade-offs, and output ripple performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), 3.3-V rail, or dual-AA alkaline inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 18.5 V - enables TFT LCD panel bias generation (VPOS/VNEG) and white LED string drivers. |
| Switch Current Limit | 3.2 A min - sustains ≥500 mA output at 15 V with >90% efficiency using 3.3-μH inductor and SL22 Schottky diode. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz - allows trade-off between small passive size (1.2 MHz) and higher light-load efficiency (650 kHz). |
| Feedback Reference | 1.238 V ±0.008 V - sets output via resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 200 kΩ, R2 = 18 kΩ for 15 V); low 0.1-μA bias current minimizes divider error. |
| Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-programmable on SS pin - 100 nF yields ~10-ms ramp; controls inrush by linearly scaling peak switch current from 0 A to 3.2 A. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 14°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; resumes operation at ~136°C. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61087DRCR uses a 10-pin VSON (DRC) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm × 1.00 mm body, with exposed thermal pad (Pin 4, AGND) for enhanced power dissipation. Pin numbering follows top-view standard (Pin 1 = COMP, Pin 10 = SS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output | Connects to external RCOMP/CCOMP network to stabilize control loop; gm = 107 μA/V defines gain-bandwidth trade-off. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output to 1.238 V reference; 0.1-μA input bias enables high-impedance dividers. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable input | Logic-high (>2 V) enables device; logic-low (<0.5 V) disables with 1-μA shutdown current - supports system-level power sequencing. |
| AGND (Pin 4) | Analog ground | Reference for FB, COMP, SS, EN, FREQ; must be tied to PGND near thermal pad to minimize noise coupling into error amplifier. |
| PGND (Pin 5) | Power ground | High-current return path for SW node and internal MOSFET; requires low-inductance connection to input/output capacitors. |
| SW (Pins 6 & 7) | Switch node | Drives external inductor and Schottky diode; handles peak currents up to 3.2 A; layout demands short, wide traces to reduce EMI. |
| FREQ (Pin 9) | Frequency select | GND → 650 kHz; IN → 1.2 MHz - configures oscillator without external components; affects ripple, efficiency, and transient response. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start control | Accepts capacitor to program startup current ramp; 10-μA constant current charges CSS; open-circuit disables soft-start. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable soft-start | Programmable via external capacitor on SS pin - prevents inrush-induced input droop and output overshoot during power-up. |
| Selectably optimized frequency | 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz operation - enables use of smaller magnetics (1.2 MHz) or improved light-load efficiency (650 kHz) without redesign. |
| External loop compensation | RCOMP/CCOMP network on COMP pin - allows precise tuning of phase margin and transient response for diverse output capacitance and load profiles. |
| Integrated 3.2-A power switch | 0.13-Ω rDS(on) at 5 V gate drive - reduces conduction loss and eliminates need for external MOSFET, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Robust protection suite | Undervoltage lockout (2.4 V), thermal shutdown (150°C), and overvoltage detection (3% above 1.238 V on FB) - ensures safe operation under fault conditions. |

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 5.5-A switch current, 1.5-MHz max frequency, same 10-pin VSON package but larger 3.5-mm × 3.5-mm footprint. | Supports >1-A output at 18.5 V; better suited for high-power camera flash or industrial sensors requiring headroom. | Choose TPS61088RHLR only if ≥4.5-A peak switch current or >1.2-MHz frequency is required; not drop-in due to different package dimensions. |
| MAX17067ETA+ | Fixed 1-MHz frequency, 2.5-A switch, 16-V max output, 8-pin μMAX package; no FREQ or SS pins. | Lacks soft-start and frequency selection; simpler implementation but less flexible for EMI-sensitive or efficiency-critical designs. | Prefer MAX17067ETA+ for cost-sensitive, fixed-frequency applications where 2.5-A current suffices and layout space is constrained. |
Compared with TPS61087DRCR, TPS61088RHLR offers higher current capability at the expense of larger footprint and higher quiescent current, while MAX17067ETA+ trades flexibility for integration simplicity and lower component count in static-output applications.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the TPS61087DRCR support?
The TPS61087DRCR supports an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 6 V, making it compatible with single-cell Li-ion batteries (nominal 3.7 V, range 3.0–4.2 V), regulated 3.3-V rails, and dual-AA alkaline sources. Operation below 2.5 V is blocked by undervoltage lockout (UVLO) triggering at 2.4 V, ensuring reliable startup and preventing erratic behavior.
How is the output voltage set on the TPS61087DRCR?
The output voltage of the TPS61087DRCR is set using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin, referenced to a precise 1.238-V internal bandgap. For example, selecting R2 = 18 kΩ and R1 = 200 kΩ yields a nominal 15-V output. The feedback node draws only 0.1 μA, minimizing divider current error and enabling high-impedance configurations for low quiescent power.
Can the TPS61087DRCR operate at both 650 kHz and 1.2 MHz simultaneously?
No - the TPS61087DRCR supports only one switching frequency at a time, selected by the logic level on the FREQ pin: connecting FREQ to GND configures 650 kHz operation, while connecting it to IN selects 1.2 MHz. The frequency is not dynamically adjustable during operation; changing it requires a hardware modification to the FREQ pin connection.
What is the purpose of the SS (soft-start) pin on the TPS61087DRCR?
The SS pin on the TPS61087DRCR controls inrush current during startup by linearly ramping the internal current limit from 0 A to the full 3.2-A switch limit. A capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) connected between SS and GND is charged at 10 μA, producing a controlled output voltage rise. Leaving SS open disables soft-start, resulting in immediate full-current startup.
Does the TPS61087DRCR require external compensation components?
Yes - the TPS61087DRCR uses external compensation via the COMP pin to optimize loop stability and transient response. Recommended values include RCOMP = 100 kΩ and CCOMP = 820 pF for 1.2-MHz operation with 3.3-μH inductor and 15-V output. The transconductance error amplifier (gm = 107 μA/V) requires these components to achieve adequate phase margin across load and input variations.
