Product details
Overview
TPS61100PW from Texas Instruments is a dual-output, single-cell synchronous boost converter with integrated 120 mA LDO. It operates from 0.8 V to 3.3 V input, delivers adjustable boost output up to 5.5 V and supports programmable LDO output, achieving 95% peak efficiency and 65 µA typical quiescent current. It is used in battery-powered portable devices requiring two regulated rails, such as digital still cameras and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61100PW datasheet, TPS61100PW pinout, TPS61100PW application, or TPS61100PW equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-rail capability, low-voltage start-up (0.85 V), auto-discharge function, and TSSOP-20 package with separate PGND/GND pins for noise-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The TPS61100PW implements a fixed-frequency PWM controller with synchronous rectification using integrated N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs, enabling 95% efficiency and eliminating external Schottky diodes. Its dual-stage architecture integrates a boost converter (up to 5.5 V, 1500 mA peak switch current) and an independently enabled 120 mA LDO with adjustable or fixed output.
Control logic includes dedicated enable inputs (EN/ENPB), power-save mode (SKIPEN), auto-discharge (ADEN), and dual open-drain low-battery outputs (LBO1/LBO2) with three selectable thresholds (400/450/500 mV). The device features load disconnect during shutdown, antiringing SWN clamping, and overtemperature protection at 140°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 3.3 V - enables operation down to near-dead single-cell NiMH/alkaline batteries |
| Boost Output Voltage | Adjustable up to 5.5 V - set via external resistor divider on FB pin with 500 mV reference |
| LDO Output Current | 120 mA max - sufficient for powering low-power microcontrollers or sensors from boost rail or battery |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1500 mA - constrains inductor and PCB trace sizing for reliable 600 mW+ boost output power |
| Quiescent Current | 65 µA typical total - minimizes battery drain in standby without compromising wake-up responsiveness |
| Oscillator Frequency | 320–800 kHz - balances EMI, inductor size, and light-load efficiency in continuous conduction mode |
| Auto-Discharge Resistance | 400 Ω - discharges output capacitors post-shutdown to prevent unintended MCU wake-up |
Pinout & Package
The TPS61100PW is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for compact portable PCB layouts and thermal dissipation in battery-constrained environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBAT (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 0.8–3.3 V battery source; feeds both boost stage and internal bias circuitry |
| EN (Pin 4) | Primary enable control | Active-high logic input; high = boost enabled, low = full shutdown with load disconnect |
| ADEN (Pin 5) | Auto-discharge enable | High = activates 400 Ω internal discharge path across VOUT to GND during shutdown |
| FB (Pin 20) | Boost feedback input | Monitors divided output voltage; referenced to 500 mV internal bandgap for precise regulation |
| VOUT (Pin 19) | Boost output | Delivers regulated DC output; requires external 22–100 µF low-ESR capacitor for stability |
| LDOIN (Pin 8) | LDO input supply | Can be connected to VOUT (for post-regulated rail) or directly to VBAT (for independent LDO source) |
| LDOOUT (Pin 9) | LDO output | Provides second regulated rail; output voltage set by LDOSENSE feedback or internal fixed value |
| PGOOD (Pin 15) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output active-low when boost output deviates >8% from target - enables cascaded power sequencing |
| GND (Pin 10) | Signal ground | Reference for all control logic and error amplifiers; must be star-connected near PGND tie point |
| PGND (Pin 11) | Power ground | Return path for high-current boost switch and LDO; isolated from GND to prevent ground shift noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Replaces lossy Schottky diode with integrated PMOS switch, enabling 95% peak efficiency and eliminating reverse recovery losses |
| Load disconnect during shutdown | Special high-side gate control isolates battery from VOUT, preventing parasitic discharge through backgate diode of PMOS |
| Dual low-battery comparator outputs | LBO1/LBO2 provide three-step battery voltage supervision (400/450/500 mV thresholds) with hysteresis for stable flagging |
| Integrated antiringing switch | Clamps SWN node to VBAT during discontinuous conduction mode, reducing radiated EMI without external snubbers |
| Pushbutton startup (ENPB) | Pin 3 accepts momentary low signal to initiate start-up even if EN is not yet asserted - simplifies mechanical power-button interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCR | Single-output boost only (no integrated LDO); higher 2-MHz switching frequency; smaller 10-pin SON package | Requires external LDO for second rail; better suited for space-constrained, single-rail systems with higher-frequency EMI filtering needs | Select when dual-rail integration is unnecessary and board area is critical; verify external LDO meets current/voltage requirements |
| MAX17065ETE+ | Integrated dual LDOs instead of boost+LDO; no boost stage; fixed 3.3 V/1.8 V outputs; 16-pin TQFN | Only suitable where input voltage already exceeds required outputs (e.g., USB-powered systems); lacks battery-start capability | Choose only for fixed-input, fixed-output applications with no low-voltage battery start requirement |
Compared with TPS61100PW, TPS61200DRCR reduces component count for single-rail use but adds design complexity for dual-rail needs, while MAX17065ETE+ eliminates boost entirely-making it incompatible with sub-1.0 V battery start-up scenarios essential to TPS61100PW's target applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the TPS61100PW?
The TPS61100PW has a minimum start-up supply voltage of 0.85 V under typical conditions (RL ≥ 66 Ω, VOUT = 3.3 V). This allows reliable operation from nearly depleted single-cell NiMH or alkaline batteries. Once started, the device continues operating down to 0.8 V input. The undervoltage lockout prevents erratic behavior below ~0.7 V.
How does the auto-discharge function work on the TPS61100PW?
The TPS61100PW auto-discharge function activates when ADEN is pulled high, connecting an internal 400 Ω switch between VOUT and GND during shutdown. This safely discharges output capacitors to prevent unintended wake-up of downstream microcontrollers. Discharge time depends on output capacitance; for example, a 100 µF capacitor discharges to <10% in ~230 ms.
Can the TPS61100PW generate two independent output voltages simultaneously?
Yes, the TPS61100PW delivers two independent regulated outputs: a programmable boost output (up to 5.5 V) and a separately enabled 120 mA LDO output (0.9–3.6 V). The LDO can be powered from VOUT, VBAT, or another source, and its enable (LDOEN) and feedback (LDOSENSE) pins allow full control and adjustment independent of the boost stage.
What is the purpose of the separate GND and PGND pins on the TPS61100PW?
The TPS61100PW uses separate GND (Pin 10) and PGND (Pin 11) pins to isolate sensitive control circuitry ground from high-current power return paths. GND serves as the reference for FB, EN, and logic; PGND carries switch and LDO output currents. They must connect at a single point near the IC to prevent ground shift noise from coupling into regulation loops.
Does the TPS61100PW support power-save mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the TPS61100PW supports power-save mode to improve light-load efficiency. It is enabled by pulling SKIPEN (Pin 18) high. In this mode, the converter pulses only when output voltage drops below threshold, reducing switching losses. When SKIPEN is low, the device operates in fixed-frequency PWM mode for tighter regulation and lower ripple.
