Product details
Overview
TPS61254YFFR from Texas Instruments is a 4.5-V fixed-output, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter in a 9-pin DSBGA package, delivering up to 800 mA continuous output current at VIN ≥ 2.65 V, operating at 3.5 MHz with 93% peak efficiency and ±2% DC voltage accuracy. It enables compact USB charging ports and audio power supplies in space-constrained smartphones.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61254YFFR datasheet, TPS61254YFFR pinout, TPS61254YFFR application, or TPS61254YFFR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5-V regulated output, 21-µA standby quiescent current, true load disconnect during shutdown, 2.5–4.35-V input range, and NanoFree™ CSP footprint for ultra-small PCB area.
Technical Context
The TPS61254YFFR uses quasi-constant on-time valley current mode control to maintain stable regulation across line and load variations while enabling PFM operation at light loads. Its integrated high-side (170 mΩ) and low-side (100 mΩ) MOSFETs support synchronous rectification and pre-charge linear mode when BP is high.
It features three functional modes: boost operation (EN = high, BP = low), standby mode with output pre-biased to VIN (EN = low, BP = high, 150 mA max), and true shutdown (EN = low, BP = low, <1 µA IQ). Thermal shutdown activates at 140°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 4.5 V ±2% DC accuracy over load/temperature - ensures stable bias for USB 5V-compliant peripherals via LDO post-regulation or direct powering of 4.5V-tolerant ICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 4.35 V - supports single-cell Li-ion batteries down to 2.65 V cutoff and enables operation across full discharge curve without brownout. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 800 mA at VOUT = 4.5 V, VIN ≥ 2.65 V - sufficient for dual-channel Class D audio amplifiers or dual-port USB charging circuits. |
| Switching Frequency | 3.5 MHz nominal - allows use of sub-1-µH inductors and 10–22-µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing solution size to <25 mm². |
| Quiescent Current | 21 µA in standby mode (EN = low, BP = high) - extends battery life in always-on audio subsystems or sensor wake-up circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.85–5.0 µA - minimizes leakage in powered-off states, critical for long-term storage or low-power IoT endpoints. |
| Valley Current Limit | 1900–2400 mA - sets robust short-circuit protection threshold while permitting 1500 mA pulsed peaks for transient audio demand. |
Pinout & Package
TPS61254YFFR is housed in a 1.206 mm × 1.306 mm, 9-pin NanoFree™ DSBGA (YFF) package with bottom-side solder balls. The die pad is not electrically connected; thermal dissipation relies on PCB copper area under the package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BP (C3) | Mode select / bypass control | When EN = low: BP = high enables standby mode (VOUT ≈ VIN, 150 mA limit); BP = low enables true shutdown (load disconnected). |
| EN (B3) | Enable input | Active-high logic; must be pulled to VIN or GND - floating state is prohibited. Controls entry into boost, standby, or shutdown modes. |
| GND (C1, C2) | Power ground | Dual ground pins reduce impedance and improve thermal conduction; both must be connected to solid PCB ground plane. |
| SW (B1, B2) | Switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires tight layout with minimal trace length and adjacent ground pour. |
| VIN (A3) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.5–4.35 V; requires local 4.7-µF ceramic input capacitor placed within 2 mm of VIN and GND pins. |
| VOUT (A1, A2) | Regulated output | Delivers 4.5 V; requires 10–22-µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitor; dual pins reduce IR drop and ESR impact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Light-load PFM mode | Reduces quiescent current to 37 µA (typ) below ~10 mA load - extends battery runtime in idle or background-sensing states. |
| Selectable standby vs shutdown | BP pin allows system-level choice between low-IQ pre-biased output (for fast wake-up) or complete load isolation (for zero leakage). |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 100-mΩ NMOS and 170-mΩ PMOS switches eliminate external Schottky loss - enables >90% efficiency at 100 mA. |
| Total solution size < 25 mm² | Requires only one 1-µH inductor and two ceramic caps - fits within smartphone camera module or earbud PCB real estate constraints. |
| ±2% total DC voltage accuracy | Includes line/load/temperature drift - eliminates need for external feedback trimming in cost-sensitive consumer designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61258YFFR | Same 4.5-V output but rated for 1500 mA peak (vs 800 mA continuous for TPS61254YFFR); higher valley current limit (3300–3900 mA). | Targeted at pulsed-load applications like flash LED drivers or burst-mode RF transceivers requiring short-duration high current. | Choose TPS61258YFFR if peak current demands exceed 800 mA; otherwise TPS61254YFFR offers better light-load efficiency and lower cost. |
| MT9700-45 | 4.5-V fixed-output boost with 1.2-MHz switching frequency, 750 mA max, and 25 µA quiescent current - no standby mode or BP pin. | Lacks programmable standby/shutdown; designed for simpler, lower-cost portable electronics without advanced power sequencing. | Select MT9700-45 only for cost-driven designs where BP-controlled standby and 3.5-MHz size advantage are unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS61258YFFR and MT9700-45, TPS61254YFFR uniquely balances 800 mA continuous delivery, 21 µA standby IQ, and NanoFree™ footprint - making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained audio and USB subsystems where peak pulses are infrequent.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current specification for TPS61254YFFR?
The TPS61254YFFR delivers up to 800 mA continuous output current at VOUT = 4.5 V when input voltage is ≥2.65 V. This rating is validated across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature and accounts for thermal derating on standard 2-layer PCBs with 1-in² copper pour. Peak current capability reaches 1500 mA for ≤20-ms pulses at ≤10% duty cycle.
Does TPS61254YFFR support true load disconnect during shutdown?
Yes - when EN is pulled low and BP is also low, the TPS61254YFFR fully disconnects the load from VIN via internal MOSFET control, achieving <1 µA shutdown current. This prevents battery drain in off-state systems such as medical wearables or security sensors requiring multi-year shelf life.
What package type and dimensions does TPS61254YFFR use?
TPS61254YFFR uses a 9-pin NanoFree™ DSBGA (YFF) package measuring 1.206 mm × 1.306 mm with 0.4-mm ball pitch. The package has no exposed thermal pad; thermal performance relies on solder-ball-to-PCB conduction and surrounding copper area. It is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
How does the BP pin function in TPS61254YFFR?
The BP pin on TPS61254YFFR selects between two low-power states when EN = low: BP = high enables standby mode (VOUT biased to VIN with 150 mA current limit and 21 µA IQ), while BP = low activates true shutdown (load disconnected, <1 µA IQ). BP must never float and requires explicit termination.
What is the recommended minimum output capacitance for stable operation of TPS61254YFFR?
TI specifies a minimum output capacitance of 10 µF for TPS61254YFFR, using X5R or X7R ceramic dielectrics in 0603 or larger case sizes. A 22-µF/10-V 1210-size capacitor (e.g., Murata GRM32ER71A226K) is preferred for improved ripple suppression and transient response, especially in audio applications.
