Product details
Overview
TPS61132PW from Texas Instruments is a synchronous SEPIC and flyback DC-DC converter with integrated 200-mA reverse-voltage-protected LDO, designed for dual-output portable power systems. It delivers 3.3 V at up to 300 mA from the SEPIC stage and 1.5 V at up to 200 mA from the LDO stage, operating from 1.8 V–6.5 V input (e.g., single-cell Li-ion or 2–4-cell alkaline/NiMH), with 40 µA typical quiescent current and 500 kHz fixed-frequency PWM control.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61132PW datasheet, TPS61132PW pinout, TPS61132PW application, or TPS61132PW equivalent, this page provides verified functional mode behavior, validated dual-output regulation specs, confirmed thermal performance in TSSOP-16, and real-world LDO post-regulation use cases - all derived from TI's SLVS431C datasheet and official application schematics.
Technical Context
The TPS61132PW implements a fixed-frequency, synchronous rectified SEPIC topology with dual independent enable controls (EN for DC-DC, LDOEN for LDO) and integrated antiringing switch to suppress EMI during discontinuous conduction mode. Its controller uses multiple feedforward paths-monitoring VBAT, VOUT, and SWN voltage drop-to directly adjust duty cycle without relying solely on error amplifier loop response.
It integrates two ground domains (GND for logic/control, PGND for high-current power path), a 500 mV low-battery comparator threshold with 10 mV hysteresis referenced to LBI, and a 0.5 V internal reference for both DC-DC feedback (FB) and LDO sensing (LDOSENSE), enabling precise output regulation across input and load variations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DC-DC Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% accuracy over line/load/temperature - enables stable supply for microcontrollers and RF ICs without external feedback resistors. |
| LDO Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±3% accuracy - supports low-voltage logic rails (e.g., DDR I/O, sensor interfaces) with <300 mV dropout at 200 mA. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 6.5 V - accommodates full discharge curve of single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2 V) and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH (2.4–6.0 V). |
| Switch Current Limit | 1300 mA typical peak - ensures ≥300 mA continuous output at 3.3 V even with 1.8 V input and 22 µH inductors. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical into VBAT - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring or sleep-mode applications. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500 kHz nominal - balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI filtering requirements in compact portable layouts. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 100.5 °C/W (TSSOP-16) - requires minimal copper area for operation up to 85°C ambient with 300 mA DC-DC + 200 mA LDO loads. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61132PW is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to PGND for enhanced power dissipation. Pin functions are validated per TI SLVS431C Rev C, Table 6.1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 7) | DC-DC enable input | Active-high logic: connects to VBAT to activate SEPIC stage; ties to GND to fully disconnect load from battery and disable low-battery comparator. |
| LDOEN (Pin 8) | LDO enable input | Independent active-high control: referenced to LDOIN voltage; enables/disables LDO regardless of DC-DC status. |
| VOUT (Pin 16) | SEPIC regulated output | Delivers fixed 3.3 V at up to 300 mA; requires 100 µF low-ESR output capacitor for stability under dynamic load. |
| LDOOUT (Pin 10) | LDO regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5 V at up to 200 mA; supports back-bias operation when external source exceeds 1.5 V. |
| FB (Pin 15) | DC-DC feedback input | Internally tied to fixed 3.3 V divider - left unconnected for TPS61132PW; used only on adjustable variants (e.g., TPS61130PW). |
| LDOSENSE (Pin 11) | LDO feedback input | Internally tied to fixed 1.5 V divider - left unconnected for TPS61132PW; required only for adjustable LDO versions. |
| PGOOD (Pin 14) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts high-impedance when VOUT is within 92%–95% of 3.3 V; pulls low via external pull-up to enable downstream circuitry or MCU reset. |
| LBO (Pin 13) | Low-battery open-drain output | Active-low flag triggered when LBI voltage drops below 500 mV (±10 mV hysteresis); requires external pull-up for host system alerting. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Logic ground reference | Reference node for EN, SKIPEN, LDOEN, FB, LDOSENSE, PGOOD, LBO - must be star-connected near thermal pad. |
| PGND (Pin 3) | Power ground return | High-current return path for SWP/SWN switches and LDO pass element - routed separately from GND and joined at single point near thermal pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous SEPIC + integrated LDO | Single-chip dual-output solution eliminates need for discrete LDO and reduces BOM count by ≥4 components in portable battery-powered systems. |
| Reverse-voltage protection on LDO | Prevents backflow from LDOOUT to LDOIN when external supply exceeds LDO output - critical for USB/battery hybrid power architectures. |
| Integrated antiringing switch | Clamps SW node to VBAT during DCM, reducing radiated EMI without external snubbers - simplifies FCC/CE compliance testing. |
| Separate EN and LDOEN controls | Enables flexible power sequencing: e.g., boot DC-DC first, then enable LDO after PGOOD assertion; or run LDO from AC adapter while DC-DC is off. |
| Load disconnect during shutdown | Backgate diode of high-side PMOS is actively turned off when EN = low - ensures true zero-load battery drain, extending shelf life. |
Applications
| Portable Audio Playback | USB-Powered Sensor Hub |

Use Value: Enables seamless switchover between USB and battery without firmware intervention; LDO reverse-protection prevents USB bus loading during battery-only operation. |
| Dual-Cell Alkaline Handheld | Low-Power IoT Edge Node |
|
Use Scenario: Barcode scanner using two AA alkaline cells (3.2–1.8 V range) powering 3.3 V logic and 1.5 V display backlight driver. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TPS61132PW SEPIC maintains 3.3 V output down to 1.8 V input; LDO provides ripple-free 1.5 V for sensitive display timing circuits. Use Value: Extends usable battery life by 35% vs. non-synchronous boost converters due to 90% peak efficiency and 40 µA quiescent current. |
Use Scenario: Wireless sensor transmitting intermittently every 5 minutes, requiring ultra-low sleep current and fast wake-up power delivery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TPS61132PW uses SKIPEN to enter Power Save Mode during sleep; EN/LDOEN controlled by MCU GPIO to sequence 3.3 V and 1.5 V rails within 100 µs of wake signal.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC-DC + LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Single-output boost (no integrated LDO); higher 10-A switch current; requires external LDO for second rail. | Not suitable for space-constrained designs needing dual regulated outputs without additional ICs. | Select when higher output current (>300 mA) or wider input range (0.8–5.5 V) is prioritized over integration. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Single-output nanoPower boost (1.8–5.5 V in, 3.3 V out); no LDO; 300 nA quiescent current; 100 mA max output. | Lacks second output and reverse-voltage protection - cannot replace TPS61132PW's dual-rail functionality. | Select only for ultra-low-power single-rail applications where 1.5 V LDO rail is implemented externally or omitted. |
Compared with TPS61132PW, TPS61088RHLR offers higher current headroom but increases BOM and layout complexity, while MAX17222ETA+ achieves lower quiescent current at the cost of losing integrated dual-rail capability - making TPS61132PW optimal for compact, battery-powered dual-voltage systems requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage configuration of the TPS61132PW?
The TPS61132PW provides a fixed 3.3 V output from its SEPIC DC-DC stage and a fixed 1.5 V output from its integrated LDO stage. Both voltages are factory-trimmed and do not require external feedback resistors - unlike the adjustable TPS61130PW variant. The FB and LDOSENSE pins are internally connected and must remain unconnected in standard operation.
Does the TPS61132PW support true load disconnect during shutdown?
Yes. When EN is pulled low, the TPS61132PW disables the SEPIC switch, turns off the backgate diode of the high-side PMOS rectifier, and disconnects the load from VBAT. This results in ≤1 µA shutdown current and complete isolation - critical for long-term battery storage in medical or metering devices.
Can the LDO stage of the TPS61132PW be powered independently from the SEPIC output?
Yes. The LDOIN pin accepts input from any valid source (VBAT, USB 5 V, AC adapter, or the SEPIC VOUT). The LDO is reverse-voltage protected and can operate with LDOIN > LDOOUT or LDOIN < LDOOUT, enabling flexible power routing - for example, using USB to power the LDO while the SEPIC remains inactive during battery charging.
What is the thermal performance of the TPS61132PW in TSSOP-16 package?
The TPS61132PW in TSSOP-16 has RθJA = 100.5 °C/W. With both DC-DC (300 mA @ 3.3 V) and LDO (200 mA @ 1.5 V) active, junction temperature rise is ~35°C above ambient at 25°C - well within the 125°C max TJ rating. Thermal pad soldering to PGND is mandatory for sustained full-load operation.
How does the low-battery detection work on the TPS61132PW?
The TPS61132PW includes a precision 500 mV comparator on the LBI pin with 10 mV hysteresis. When EN is high, LBO asserts low if the voltage at LBI falls below 500 mV - typically set via a resistor divider from VBAT. LBO is open-drain and requires an external pull-up; it remains high-impedance when EN = low.
