Product details
Overview
TPS61253YFFT from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-up DC-DC converter in a 9-pin NanoFree™ DSBGA package, delivering regulated 5.0 V output with ±2% DC accuracy, supporting up to 1500 mA peak load at VIN ≥ 3.3 V and operating at 3.5 MHz switching frequency. It enables compact USB charging ports and battery-powered audio amplifiers by maintaining efficiency up to 93% while drawing only 21 µA quiescent current in standby mode.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61253YFFT datasheet, TPS61253YFFT pinout, TPS61253YFFT application, or TPS61253YFFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 V fixed output, 2.65–4.85 V input range, true load disconnect during shutdown, light-load PFM mode, and minimal external component count (only three surface-mount parts required) for sub-25 mm² solution size.
Technical Context
The TPS61253YFFT implements valley-current-mode control with quasi-constant on-time PWM operation above ~10 mA load, transitioning to PFM below that threshold to sustain high efficiency across wide load ranges. Its internal synchronous rectifier supports VIN ≥ VOUT operation and enables pre-biased output mode via BP pin control.
It integrates dual MOSFETs (170 mΩ high-side, 100 mΩ low-side), thermal shutdown (140°C), overcurrent protection (3.3–3.9 A valley limit), and under-voltage lockout (2.1 V nominal with 0.1 V hysteresis), all within a 1.206 mm × 1.306 mm chip-scale package optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% DC accuracy ensures stable USB-compliant power delivery without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.65 V to 4.85 V supports single-cell Li-ion batteries down to near depletion, enabling extended runtime in portable devices. |
| Peak Output Current | 1500 mA at VIN ≥ 3.3 V allows driving high-pulse loads like flash LEDs or Class-D audio amplifiers without voltage sag. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.5 MHz enables use of ultra-small 1 µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, reducing solution footprint to <25 mm². |
| Quiescent Current | 21 µA in standby mode (EN = GND, BP = VIN) maximizes battery life during system sleep states. |
| Efficiency | 93% at 3.5 MHz operation minimizes thermal dissipation and extends battery life in continuous boost applications. |
| Shutdown Current | <5.0 µA ensures negligible battery drain when disabled, critical for always-on portable systems. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61253YFFT uses a 9-pin DSBGA (NanoFree™) package measuring 1.206 mm × 1.306 mm with 0.4 mm pitch. The package is bottom-soldered with no exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BP (C3) | Mode selection | When EN = Low: BP = Low → true shutdown; BP = High → standby mode with 150 mA pre-biased output and 21 µA IQ. |
| EN (B3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; must be terminated-floating state is undefined and may cause erratic behavior. |
| GND (C1, C2) | Power ground | Dual ground pins reduce impedance and improve thermal performance; both must be connected to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (B1, B2) | Power switch node | Internal high/low-side MOSFET connection point; requires low-inductance routing to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| VIN (A3) | Input supply | Accepts 2.65–4.85 V; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| VOUT (A1, A2) | Regulated output | Delivers 5.0 V; requires 10 µF output capacitor (e.g., 0603 X5R) close to device for ripple suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Light-load PFM mode | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1 mA load by reducing switching frequency, extending battery life in idle/sleep states. |
| Selectable standby mode | Enables 150 mA pre-biased output with 21 µA IQ-ideal for biasing audio amplifiers without full regulation overhead. |
| True load disconnect | Internally isolates VOUT from VIN during shutdown (EN = Low, BP = Low), preventing backfeed and leakage into powered-down circuits. |
| Thermal & overload protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown (140°C) and cycle-by-cycle valley current limiting prevent damage under fault conditions. |
| Minimal external components | Requires only one inductor (1 µH), one input cap (4.7 µF), and one output cap (10 µF)-no compensation network needed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61258YFFT | Same 4.5 V fixed output, 1500 mA peak capability, but lower 4.4–4.65 V output range; identical package and pinout. | Optimized for 4.5 V systems (e.g., legacy USB 2.0 peripherals), not 5.0 V USB-C or modern audio ICs requiring exact 5 V. | Select TPS61258YFFT only if target load accepts 4.5 V ±3% and benefits from same efficiency profile at lower VOUT. |
| TPS610987DSER | Lower 3.3 V output, 1.8–4.5 V input, 400 mA max, 200 nA shutdown current-but uses 6-pin WSON, not CSP. | Suitable for ultra-low-power microcontrollers and sensors, not high-current USB/audio applications. | Choose TPS610987DSER when sub-1 µA shutdown and 3.3 V rail are required, accepting reduced output current and different package layout. |
Compared with TPS61258YFFT and TPS610987DSER, the TPS61253YFFT uniquely delivers 5.0 V ±2% at up to 1500 mA peak in a 1.2 mm × 1.3 mm CSP, making it the only option among the three for compact, high-fidelity 5 V USB or audio power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS61253YFFT?
The TPS61253YFFT supports up to 1000 mA continuous output current at VOUT = 5.0 V when VIN ≥ 3.3 V, per the datasheet's recommended operating conditions. Peak current capability reaches 1500 mA for pulsed loads ≤20 ms with ≤10% duty cycle, enabling short-duration high-power events like camera flash or audio transients without regulation loss.
Does the TPS61253YFFT require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the TPS61253YFFT does not require an external feedback resistor network because it features a factory-trimmed, fixed 5.0 V output. The internal reference and error amplifier are fully integrated, eliminating external components and ensuring ±2% DC output accuracy across temperature and load without calibration.
How does the BP pin function in the TPS61253YFFT?
The BP pin on the TPS61253YFFT controls functional mode when EN = Low: BP = Low enables true shutdown with <5 µA input current and complete load disconnect; BP = High activates standby mode, biasing VOUT at VIN level with up to 150 mA sourcing capability and only 21 µA quiescent current-ideal for pre-biasing audio amplifiers.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPS61253YFFT to start switching?
The TPS61253YFFT begins switching when VIN rises above its under-voltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 2.1 V (typical, with 0.1 V hysteresis). However, reliable 5.0 V regulation with 1000 mA load requires VIN ≥ 3.3 V; operation below that voltage sustains regulation only at reduced output current per the datasheet's IOUT vs VIN curves.
Can the TPS61253YFFT be used with input voltages higher than its rated 4.85 V maximum?
No, the TPS61253YFFT has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 7 V, but its recommended operating maximum is 4.85 V. Exceeding 4.85 V violates the validated operating conditions and risks degraded efficiency, increased thermal stress, and potential long-term reliability issues-even if below the 7 V absolute limit. Always adhere to the 4.85 V max for production designs.
