Product details
Overview
TPS610996YFFT 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 with ±2% accuracy. It features true shutdown disconnection, down-mode regulation, and pass-through operation-designed for battery-powered wearable and optical sensor systems requiring multi-decade runtime.
For engineers reviewing the TPS610996YFFT datasheet, TPS610996YFFT pinout, TPS610996YFFT application, or TPS610996YFFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.7V startup capability, 4.5V fixed output tolerance, hysteretic control architecture, 6-ball WCSP package footprint, and verified performance at 10µA–300mA loads across alkaline, Li-Mn, and Li-ion sources.
Technical Context
The TPS610996YFFT implements a hysteretic current-mode control topology that eliminates fixed-frequency switching losses and enables burst-mode operation under light loads-achieving up to 75% efficiency at 10µA and 93% at 200mA. Its down-mode regulation maintains 4.5V output even when VIN exceeds VOUT, transitioning automatically to pass-through mode when VIN > VOUT + 0.5V.
It integrates cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (0.8–1.25A switch current limit), thermal shutdown (150°C trip), output overvoltage protection (5.8V threshold), and undervoltage lockout (0.7V rising threshold with 200mV hysteresis). The device uses internal EEPROM to store its fixed 4.5V configuration and supports EN-controlled enable/disable with <0.5µA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 4.5V ±2% (programmed via internal EEPROM; no external feedback required) |
| 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 - enables >10-year battery life in µA-load applications like memory LCD bias |
| Peak switch current limit | 0.8A minimum - sustains regulated 4.5V output up to 300mA load in boost mode |
| Efficiency | Up to 75% at 10µA load; up to 93% at 200mA - validated across VIN = 0.7V–4.2V and VOUT = 4.5V |
| UVLO threshold | 0.7V (rising), 0.5V (falling) - prevents erratic operation during battery brownout and ensures clean restart |
| OVP threshold | 5.8V with 100–200mV hysteresis - protects downstream circuitry if feedback network fails or is omitted |
Pinout & Package
TPS610996YFFT is packaged in a 6-ball, 1.23mm × 0.88mm DSBGA (WCSP) with bottom-side solder balls and thermal pad connected to GND. The package is optimized for ultra-compact, low-profile wearable PCBs and supports reflow assembly per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Supplies IC core and power stage; accepts 0.7–5.5V; connects to battery or source with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external 2.2µH inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground shielding |
| EN | Digital enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH ≥1.2V, VIL ≤0.4V); must not float; pulls to GND for true shutdown |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Primary return path for input/output currents; connects directly to thermal pad for thermal management |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 4.5V; requires ≥10µF ceramic output capacitor; supplies load directly in pass-through mode |
| FB | Feedback terminal | Internally shorted to GND for fixed-output variants; left unconnected in TPS610996YFFT (no external divider needed) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic current-mode control | Eliminates clock and error amplifier-reducing IQ to sub-µA while enabling automatic burst mode below 100µA load |
| Down-mode regulation | Maintains 4.5V output even when VIN rises above 4.5V (e.g., fresh Li-ion at 4.2V → 4.5V), using PMOS gate modulation instead of switching |
| True shutdown disconnection | Breaks VIN-to-VOUT path completely; draws ≤0.5µA total shutdown current-critical for zero-leakage standby in wearables |
| Pass-through operation | Disables switching and fully turns on rectifying PMOS when VIN > VOUT + 0.5V-minimizing conduction loss and heat rise |
| Integrated OVP and thermal shutdown | 5.8V output overvoltage cutoff with auto-recovery; 150°C junction thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis-ensures robust field reliability |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the TPS610996YFFT?
The TPS610996YFFT delivers a fixed 4.5V output with ±2% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to 125°C), line (VIN = 0.7V–5.5V), and load (0–300mA). This specification is confirmed in Section 6.5 of the SLVSD88M datasheet under "TPS610996 Output accuracy" with typical values of 4.4V–4.6V in PWM mode and 4.63V in PFM mode.
Does the TPS610996YFFT require external feedback resistors?
No. The TPS610996YFFT is a fixed-output variant with internal EEPROM-programmed 4.5V regulation. Its FB pin is internally shorted to GND, so no external resistor divider is needed-reducing component count and PCB area. This is explicitly stated in Table 5-1 (Pin Functions) and Section 7.3.9 of the datasheet.
Can the TPS610996YFFT start up from a 0.7V input source?
Yes. The TPS610996YFFT guarantees startup from 0.7V input with a load ≤3kΩ, as verified in Section 7.3.4 (Soft Start) and Figure 6-9 (Load Regulation). It achieves this using a boundary-conduction soft-start sequence that limits inrush current and ramps peak switch current to full ILIM within 500µs.
How does the TPS610996YFFT behave when input voltage exceeds 4.5V?
When VIN rises above 4.5V, the TPS610996YFFT first enters down mode (regulating VOUT at 4.5V using PMOS gate modulation), then automatically transitions to pass-through mode when VIN > 5.0V (VOUT + 0.5V). In pass-through, VOUT ≈ VIN – (IL × DCRL) – (IL × RDS(on)_HS), minimizing power loss.
What is the thermal performance of the TPS610996YFFT in its YFF package?
In the 1.23mm × 0.88mm WCSP (YFF) package, the TPS610996YFFT has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 36.1°C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 134.4°C/W. These values-listed in Section 6.4-enable reliable operation up to 125°C ambient when mounted on 2-layer PCBs with adequate copper pour under the thermal pad.
