Product details
Overview
TPS61131PWR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous SEPIC and flyback DC-DC converter with integrated 200-mA reverse-voltage-protected LDO, designed for dual-output power management in portable battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 300 mA at 3.3 V from 1.8–5.5 V input, features 40-μA quiescent current, fixed 3.3-V DC-DC output, and fixed 3.3-V LDO output - used in MP3 players, PDAs, and USB-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61131PWR datasheet, TPS61131PWR pinout, TPS61131PWR application, or TPS61131PWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-output architecture (SEPIC + LDO), low-battery detection (LBI/LBO), power-good signaling (PGOOD), and thermal performance in TSSOP-16 packaging under 1.8–5.5 V input conditions.
Technical Context
The TPS61131PWR implements a fixed-frequency (400–600 kHz) PWM-controlled synchronous SEPIC topology with integrated N- and P-channel MOSFETs, enabling buck-boost operation without polarity inversion. Its control loop uses feedforward regulation of input voltage, output voltage, and NMOS switch voltage drop to minimize error amplifier burden.
It integrates a dedicated 200-mA LDO with reverse-voltage protection, independently enabled via LDOEN, and supports post-regulation of the SEPIC output or direct battery-derived output. The device includes undervoltage lockout (~1.6 V), soft-start limiting inrush current, and antiringing circuitry to suppress SW-node oscillation in discontinuous conduction mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2 V), dual/triple alkaline/NiMH (1.8–5.5 V) |
| DC-DC Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% - eliminates external feedback resistors; stable for logic rail generation |
| LDO Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% - provides second regulated rail with reverse-voltage protection and independent enable |
| DC-DC Max Output Current | 300 mA at 3.3 V - sufficient for microcontroller cores, display bias, or peripheral ICs |
| Quiescent Current | 40 μA typical - enables >100-hour standby in low-power portable applications |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz nominal - balances efficiency, inductor size (22 μH), and EMI filtering requirements |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1300 mA typical - sets maximum energy transfer per cycle; protects against overload and short-circuit |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 100.5 °C/W (TSSOP-16) - requires moderate PCB copper area for 85°C ambient operation at full load |
Pinout & Package
TPS61131PWR is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND. Pin 1 is SWP; pin 16 is VOUT. The thermal pad must be soldered to achieve specified thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 7) | DC-DC enable input | Active-high logic: connects to VBAT to enable converter; ties to GND for shutdown and full load disconnect |
| LDOEN (Pin 8) | LDO enable input | Independent active-high control: enables LDO even if DC-DC stage is disabled; referenced to LDOIN |
| VOUT (Pin 16) | SEPIC output | Main regulated 3.3-V supply rail; drives downstream logic, memory, or analog circuitry |
| LDOOUT (Pin 10) | LDO output | Second fixed 3.3-V rail; reverse-voltage protected; usable for I/O, sensors, or backup domains |
| PGOOD (Pin 14) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within 90–95% of target - enables sequenced power-up of downstream ICs |
| LBI (Pin 5) | Low-battery comparator input | Monitors scaled battery voltage; triggers LBO when input drops below 500 mV (±10 mV hysteresis) |
| LBO (Pin 13) | Low-battery output | Open-drain flag indicating battery depletion; used for system-level sleep/wake or UI alert |
| SWP (Pin 1) / SWN (Pin 2) | SEPIC switch terminals | Connect to coupled inductor windings; SWP is rectifying PMOS source, SWN is NMOS drain |
| PGND (Pin 3) | Power ground | Return path for high-current switching nodes; must tie to thermal pad and separate from signal GND at single point |
| GND (Pin 12) | Control/logic ground | Reference for EN, SKIPEN, LDOEN, FB, and internal comparators; isolated from PGND except at star point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous SEPIC + integrated LDO | Dual independent regulated outputs (3.3 V/300 mA + 3.3 V/200 mA) in one IC - reduces BOM count and board space vs discrete solutions |
| 40-μA quiescent current | Enables multi-day battery life in always-on monitoring or real-time clock subsystems powered from same cell |
| Low-battery detection with hysteresis | 500 mV threshold with 10 mV hysteresis on LBI - prevents chatter during gradual discharge; programmable via resistor divider |
| Antiringing switch | Clamps SW node to VBAT during DCM - reduces radiated EMI by >10 dB in 30–100 MHz band without external snubbers |
| Load disconnect during shutdown | Backgate diode of high-side PMOS turned off when EN = low - ensures true zero-load current draw from battery |
| Overtemperature protection | 140°C trip with 20°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Single-output boost (not SEPIC); higher 8-A switch current; no integrated LDO; 2.7–12 V input | Requires external LDO for second rail; better suited for high-current single-rail apps like displays | Select when only one high-current rail is needed and board space allows discrete LDO + layout complexity |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Single-output boost; 300-mA output; no LDO; 0.4–5.5 V input; 1.4-μA IQ; 1.8-mm × 1.8-mm WLP | Ultra-low IQ but lacks dual output, PGOOD, LBI/LBO, and thermal protection | Select for minimal-quiescent ultra-portable devices where second rail is generated elsewhere or not required |
Compared with TPS61131PWR, TPS61088RHLR offers higher current but no LDO or battery monitoring, while MAX17222ETA+ achieves lower IQ but sacrifices all supervision and dual-rail capability - making TPS61131PWR uniquely balanced for cost-sensitive, feature-complete portable power.

FAQ
What is the DC-DC output voltage configuration of the TPS61131PWR?
The TPS61131PWR features a fixed 3.3-V DC-DC output voltage, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. This configuration is factory-trimmed to ±3% accuracy across temperature and load, ensuring stable logic rail generation without design overhead. Unlike the adjustable TPS61130PWR, the TPS61131PWR does not require an FB network - simplifying layout and reducing component count in production designs.
Does the TPS61131PWR support independent enable control for its LDO and DC-DC stages?
Yes, the TPS61131PWR provides fully independent enable control: EN (Pin 7) controls the SEPIC converter, while LDOEN (Pin 8) controls the integrated LDO. Both inputs are active-high and referenced to their respective supply domains (VBAT for EN, LDOIN for LDOEN). This allows flexible power sequencing - for example, enabling the LDO from USB while keeping the DC-DC stage disabled during battery charging.
How does the low-battery detection function work on the TPS61131PWR?
The TPS61131PWR implements a precision low-battery comparator with 500 mV threshold (±10 mV hysteresis) on the LBI pin. When enabled, it compares a scaled-down battery voltage (via external resistor divider) to this internal reference. If the scaled voltage falls below threshold, LBO (open-drain) pulls low. The function is disabled during shutdown (EN = low), and LBI must never float - it should be tied to GND or VBAT if unused.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS61131PWR in TSSOP-16 packaging?
The TPS61131PWR in TSSOP-16 (PW) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100.5 °C/W. Under worst-case conditions (5.5 V input, 300 mA at 3.3 V, 85°C ambient), power dissipation is ~330 mW, resulting in ~118°C junction temperature - within the 125°C max operating limit. Adequate 2-oz copper pour under the thermal pad and PGND connections is essential to maintain reliability.
Can the TPS61131PWR operate from a USB 5-V source while also supporting battery backup?
Yes - the TPS61131PWR's LDO stage accepts input from any source including USB 5 V (via LDOIN), while the SEPIC stage runs from battery. With LDOEN asserted and EN deasserted, the LDO delivers clean 3.3 V from USB, isolating the battery. When USB is removed, enabling EN activates the SEPIC to sustain both rails from battery. No external OR-ing FET is needed due to the LDO's reverse-voltage protection.
