Product details
Overview
TPS61253AYFFT from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost converter IC designed for Li-ion battery-powered portable systems, delivering fixed 5V output at up to 1500mA continuous load with 2.3V–5.5V input range, 3.8MHz switching frequency, and integrated 35mΩ LS-FET / 60mΩ HS-FET in a 1.2mm × 1.3mm DSBGA package - used in smartphone power rails and USB charging ports.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61253AYFFT datasheet, TPS61253AYFFT pinout, TPS61253AYFFT application, or TPS61253AYFFT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, mode-selectable operation (Auto PFM/Forced PWM/Ultrasonic), pass-through capability, ±2% VOUT accuracy, and thermal/hiccup protection - all confirmed for the YFFT package variant.
Technical Context
The TPS61253AYFFT implements valley-current-mode control with quasi-constant on-time PWM for stable regulation across line/load variations. Its architecture integrates dual N-MOSFETs, internal soft-start (600µs), and dynamic mode selection via the MODE pin - enabling Auto PFM for light-load efficiency, Forced PWM for EMI-controlled constant frequency, or Ultrasonic mode (>25kHz) to eliminate audible noise.
It supports seamless transition into pass-through mode when VIN exceeds VOUT + 0.1V, reducing conduction loss by fully turning on the high-side FET. Protection includes hiccup-mode short-circuit response (1ms on / 20ms off), thermal shutdown (150°C rising), and load disconnection during shutdown (<1.3µA quiescent).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% - ensures stable USB-compliant rail without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 5.5V - supports full Li-ion discharge curve (3.0V–4.2V) plus USB OTG or backup supply headroom. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.8MHz nominal (PWM mode) - enables use of sub-1µH inductors and compact ceramic output capacitors. |
| Switch Current Limit | 4A valley current limit - sustains ≥1500mA output at 5V with ≥3V input under typical conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 42µA from VIN - minimizes battery drain in standby, critical for always-on mobile peripherals. |
| Package | DSBGA-9 (YFFT), 1.2mm × 1.3mm - ultra-small footprint for space-constrained PCBs in smartphones and wearables. |
| Protection Features | Hiccup-mode short circuit, thermal shutdown (150°C), UVLO (2.3V rising), and load disconnection - ensures robust field reliability. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61253AYFFT uses a 9-pin DSBGA (YFFT) package measuring 1.2mm × 1.3mm with bottom-side solder balls. Pin assignment follows TI's standard top-view layout for DSBGA-9.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (B3) | Enable input | Active-high logic: >1.2V enables device; internal 930kΩ pull-down ensures default shutdown. |
| GND (C1, C2) | Power ground | Dual ground pins reduce impedance and improve thermal dissipation in high-current paths. |
| MODE (C3) | Operation mode select | Low = Auto PFM; High = Forced PWM; Floating = Ultrasonic mode (>25kHz). |
| SW (B1, B2) | Switch node | Shared drain-source connection of internal LS-FET and HS-FET - requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| VIN (A3) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.3V–5.5V; connects to input capacitor and battery/analog rail with minimal trace inductance. |
| VOUT (A1, A2) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 5V; dual pins reduce IR drop and support high-frequency decoupling near load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three selectable operating modes | Auto PFM (light-load efficiency), Forced PWM (EMI control), Ultrasonic (>25kHz) - configurable via single MODE pin voltage. |
| Pass-through functionality | Automatic transition when VIN > VOUT + 0.1V - eliminates switching loss and improves efficiency at high input voltages. |
| Integrated power FETs | 35mΩ LS-FET + 60mΩ HS-FET - eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| 600µs internal soft-start | Linear pre-charge + controlled ramp-up - prevents inrush current and stabilizes output during enable sequence. |
| Load disconnection in shutdown | <1.3µA shutdown current with full isolation - prevents battery drain when system is powered off. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61253FYFFT | Same 5V output and 1.2mm×1.3mm DSBGA package, but 4.5A valley current limit and 1.2V/0.36V EN thresholds - supports 1.2V I/O logic. | Preferred where system MCU uses 1.2V GPIO or higher current margin is required beyond 1500mA. | Select TPS61253FYFFT if 1.2V-compatible enable logic or extended current headroom is needed; otherwise TPS61253AYFFT offers optimal cost/performance for standard 1.8V logic systems. |
| TPS61258AYFFT | 4.5V fixed output, 4A valley current limit, same package - optimized for lower-voltage USB PD sink or 4.5V logic rails. | Used where 4.5V output is required (e.g., specific PMIC inputs or legacy 4.5V peripherals), not 5V. | Choose TPS61258AYFFT only when 4.5V output is mandatory; TPS61253AYFFT is the correct fit for 5V USB, NFC, and smartphone applications. |
Compared with TPS61253FYFFT, the TPS61253AYFFT provides tighter EN threshold compatibility with 1.8V systems and slightly lower current limit - making it ideal for cost-sensitive 5V boost applications without 1.2V I/O requirements. Against TPS61258AYFFT, it delivers the exact 5V output needed for USB compliance, avoiding under-voltage risk in host-mode operation.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS61253AYFFT?
The TPS61253AYFFT provides a fixed 5.0V output with ±2% accuracy over temperature and load. This specification is guaranteed across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and 0mA–1500mA output current, ensuring reliable USB-compliant operation without external trimming components.
Does the TPS61253AYFFT support automatic pass-through mode?
Yes, the TPS61253AYFFT automatically enters pass-through mode when VIN exceeds VOUT + 0.1V and VOUT is above nominal regulation. In this state, the high-side FET fully turns on and the low-side FET turns off, allowing input-to-output conduction with only RDS(ON) and inductor DCR losses - improving efficiency at high input voltages.
What are the EN pin logic thresholds for the TPS61253AYFFT?
The TPS61253AYFFT EN pin requires a minimum of 1.2V to assert enable (VEN_H) and releases shutdown below 0.4V (VEN_L). An internal 930kΩ pull-down resistor ensures default disable state, simplifying interface with 1.8V GPIOs without external level-shifting.
How does the MODE pin configure operating modes on the TPS61253AYFFT?
The MODE pin on the TPS61253AYFFT selects three distinct behaviors: pulled low (<0.4V) enables Auto PFM for peak light-load efficiency; driven high (>1.2V) forces constant 3.8MHz PWM; left floating (0.75–0.85V) activates Ultrasonic mode to maintain >25kHz switching and eliminate audible noise.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS61253AYFFT?
The TPS61253AYFFT integrates hiccup-mode short-circuit protection (1ms on / 20ms off), thermal shutdown (150°C rising, 130°C hysteresis), undervoltage lockout (2.3V rising), and load disconnection during shutdown (<1.3µA). These ensure safe operation under fault conditions and prevent battery drain in standby.
