Product details
Overview
TPS610996YFFR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost converter with ultra-low quiescent current (400nA into VIN, 600nA into VOUT), operating from 0.7V to 5.5V input and delivering a fixed 4.5V output. It features true shutdown disconnection, down-mode regulation, and hysteretic current-mode control - optimized for coin-cell and alkaline battery-powered wearable sensors and optical heart rate monitors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS610996YFFR datasheet, TPS610996YFFR pinout, TPS610996YFFR application, or TPS610996YFFR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.7V startup capability, 4.5V ±1% output accuracy in PWM mode, 0.8A peak switch current limit, 75% efficiency at 10µA load, and compatibility with 1.23mm × 0.88mm WCSP packaging for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The TPS610996YFFR implements a hysteretic current-mode control topology that dynamically adjusts switching frequency based on input voltage, output load, and inductor value - eliminating need for external compensation while maintaining high light-load efficiency. Its dual-mode operation supports regulated down-mode (VIN > VOUT) and pass-through (VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5V), with automatic transition between modes governed by internal thresholds.
It integrates cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (OCP), thermal shutdown at 150°C with 25°C hysteresis, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 0.7V rising threshold, and output overvoltage protection (OVP) at 5.8V. The fixed 4.5V output is factory-programmed via EEPROM, eliminating external feedback resistors and reducing BOM count.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.5V ±1% (PWM mode), enabling precise biasing without external resistor divider |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell alkaline, NiMH, Li-Mn, and rechargeable Li-ion batteries from depletion to full charge |
| Quiescent Current | 400nA into VIN / 600nA into VOUT - extends battery life in always-on wearable and sensor applications |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 0.8A minimum - sustains up to 300mA output current during 3.3V→4.5V conversion |
| Efficiency @ Light Load | 75% at 10µA load - critical for memory LCD and optical HRM LED bias where microamp-level loads dominate |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1.6µA into VIN - ensures true load disconnection and near-zero standby drain |
| UVLO Threshold | 0.7V rising, 0.5V hysteresis - prevents erratic operation during battery brownout and enables reliable cold-start |
Pinout & Package
TPS610996YFFR uses the YFF package: a 6-ball, 1.23mm × 0.88mm DSBGA (WCSP) with bottom-side solder balls. This ultra-compact wafer-level chip-scale package is optimized for minimal PCB footprint in wearables and compact IoT endpoints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 0.7–5.5V supply; connects to battery or intermediate rail; UVLO and OCP monitoring originate here |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external 2.2µH inductor; carries pulsed current up to 0.8A peak; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible input (VIH = 1.2V min); floating prohibited; controls true shutdown with <1.6µA leakage |
| GND | Power ground | Primary return path for switch current and IC bias; must be connected to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 4.5V; supplies load directly; includes OVP clamp at 5.8V and down-mode regulation logic |
| FB | Feedback reference | Internally tied to GND for fixed-output operation; unused externally; not connected in TPS610996YFFR design |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ architecture | 400nA VIN IQ enables >1-year runtime on CR2032 in 10µA average-load applications like optical HRM |
| Down-mode regulation | Maintains stable 4.5V output even when VIN rises above 4.5V (e.g., fresh Li-ion), avoiding external LDO |
| True shutdown disconnection | Breaks input-to-output path completely - eliminates reverse leakage and enables zero-current sleep states |
| Hysteretic current-mode control | Self-compensating, no external compensation required; adapts frequency to load/line conditions for consistent light-load efficiency |
| Factory-trimmed 4.5V output | ±1% accuracy at 4.5V eliminates resistor tolerance errors and board space for feedback network |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS610994YFFR | Fixed 3.3V output; identical IQ, package, and functional modes | Suitable for 3.3V logic rails or low-voltage sensors - not interchangeable without redesigning output filtering and load interface | Select when system requires 3.3V instead of 4.5V; same PCB layout but different output capacitor voltage rating |
| TPS610995YFFR | Fixed 3.6V output; same quiescent current, package, and down-mode behavior | Targets mid-range analog front-ends (e.g., ADC references, op-amp supplies) needing tighter regulation than 3.3V but lower than 4.5V | Choose for mixed-signal sensor nodes where 3.6V improves SNR vs 3.3V without overdesigning for 4.5V headroom |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS610996YFFR under varying load and temperature?
The TPS610996YFFR delivers 4.4V to 4.6V output in PWM mode across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and full load range. At 25°C and nominal input, typical output is 4.5V ±1%, with worst-case deviation limited to ±2.2% including line, load, and temperature effects per datasheet Section 6.5.
Does the TPS610996YFFR require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No. The TPS610996YFFR has a factory-programmed 4.5V output stored in internal EEPROM. The FB pin is internally connected to GND, eliminating external resistors and associated tolerance errors - simplifying layout and improving accuracy versus adjustable variants like TPS61099.
How does the TPS610996YFFR behave when input voltage exceeds 4.5V?
When VIN rises above VOUT (4.5V), the TPS610996YFFR automatically enters down-mode regulation to maintain 4.5V output until VIN reaches VOUT + 0.5V (5.0V), then transitions to pass-through mode where VOUT ≈ VIN − (IL × RDS(on)_HS + IL × DCR_L). This avoids overvoltage stress on downstream loads.
Can the TPS610996YFFR start up from a 0.7V input with no load?
Yes. The TPS610996YFFR guarantees startup from 0.7V input with ≥3kΩ load (i.e., ≤333µA). With no load, startup succeeds if output capacitance is ≤100µF and PCB leakage is minimal - verified in TI's SLVSD88M datasheet Figure 8-1 and Section 7.3.4.
What thermal considerations apply to the TPS610996YFFR in its YFF package?
The YFF package has RθJA = 134.4°C/W. At 300mA output with 3.3V→4.5V conversion, power dissipation is ~150mW, resulting in ~20°C junction rise above ambient. Layout must connect the thermal ball (GND) to a solid copper plane; derate current above 85°C ambient per Section 6.4 thermal metrics.
