Product details
Overview
TPS61299DRLR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost converter IC optimized for ultra-low-power battery-powered systems, featuring 95nA typical quiescent current into VOUT, 1.2A average input current limit, and operation down to 0.5V input voltage. It delivers regulated output voltages from 1.8V to 5.5V in a 6-pin SOT563 package and supports fast transient response (~8μs) for optical modules and wearable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61299DRLR datasheet, TPS61299DRLR pinout, TPS61299DRLR application, or TPS61299DRLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its true shutdown behavior (EN low), 0.7V start-up voltage, WCSP/SOT563 package compatibility, and precise VSEL-based output voltage programming - all critical for coin-cell and alkaline-battery designs requiring long runtime and load-step stability.
Technical Context
The TPS61299DRLR employs a hysteretic current-mode control architecture with constant 350mA inductor ripple current, enabling variable switching frequency (≈3MHz at VIN=3.6V, VOUT=5V, L=1μH) and automatic PFM/PWM transition. Its UVLO threshold is 0.7V (rising), and it supports auto pass-through when VIN > VOUT.
This device integrates high- and low-side synchronous MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 150mΩ HS / 88mΩ LS at VOUT=5V), output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown (150°C). The EN pin controls true disconnection (not force pass-through), distinguishing it from TPS61299A variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current (VOUT) | 95nA typical - enables multi-year runtime on coin cells under light-load standby |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.5V–5.5V - supports deep discharge of alkaline/coin cells and Li-ion backup |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.8V–5.5V - programmable via VSEL resistor; covers MCU I/O, sensors, and RF bias rails |
| Avg Input Current Limit | 1.2A - protects battery from excessive draw while supporting up to 500mA output at 3V→5V |
| Start-up Voltage | 0.7V (rising) - ensures reliable cold-start from weak or partially depleted batteries |
| Efficiency | 94% at VIN=3.6V, VOUT=5V, IOUT=200mA - minimizes thermal rise and extends battery life |
| Transient Response | ~8μs settling time (0A→200mA) - maintains stable rail during burst-mode sensor or radio activity |
Pinout & Package
TPS61299DRLR uses a 6-pin SOT563 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm), optimized for space-constrained wearables and optical modules. Pin functions are validated per TI SLVSGS9G Rev. October 2025.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 0.5V–5.5V source; UVLO activates at 0.7V rising; powers internal circuitry and switch |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries pulsed current between internal HS/LP MOSFETs |
| EN | Enable control | Logic input (VEN_H = 0.84V min); EN low forces true shutdown - full input-output isolation |
| VSEL | Voltage select | Resistor-to-GND sets one of 21 output voltages (e.g., 3.3V, 5.0V); latched at startup only |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable boosted voltage; includes SCP and thermal shutdown protection |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for VIN, VOUT, and internal control circuits; critical for EMI and regulation accuracy |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic current-mode control | Enables fixed 350mA inductor ripple and automatic PFM/PWM mode transition without external compensation |
| True shutdown (EN low) | Disables switching and fully turns off high-side MOSFET - <60nA VIN shutdown current, zero output leakage |
| VSEL-programmable output | 21 factory-trimmed output options (1.8V–5.5V) set by single external resistor; no firmware or EEPROM required |
| Fast transient mode | Reduces output voltage settling time to ~8μs (0A→200mA), critical for optical module burst loads |
| Battery-friendly UVLO | 0.7V start-up threshold + 0.5V operating minimum - extracts maximum energy from aging alkaline/coin cells |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61299ADRLR | Same package and pinout; features force pass-through (not true shutdown) at EN low; 0.9V start-up | Suitable where input-output continuity is required during disable (e.g., always-on sensor bias) | Select TPS61299ADRLR only if system requires EN-controlled pass-through; otherwise TPS61299DRLR provides superior isolation. |
| TPS61099YFFR | WCSP-6 (1.2mm×0.8mm); 300nA IQ; 1A input limit; 1.8V–5.5V output; no VSEL - fixed output options | Smaller footprint but lacks programmability and fast transient mode; lower efficiency at light loads | Choose TPS61099YFFR only for space-constrained designs accepting fixed output and higher IQ; TPS61299DRLR offers superior flexibility and efficiency. |
Compared with TPS61299ADRLR and TPS61099YFFR, the TPS61299DRLR uniquely combines true shutdown, VSEL programmability, and sub-100nA quiescent current - making it optimal for battery-critical wearables and medical devices requiring both ultra-low standby and precise voltage control.

FAQ
What is the start-up voltage requirement for TPS61299DRLR?
The TPS61299DRLR has a 0.7V rising threshold for under-voltage lockout (UVLO), enabling reliable start-up from deeply discharged alkaline or coin-cell batteries. Once started, it continues operating down to 0.5V input, maximizing usable battery capacity. This behavior is confirmed in Section 6.5 of the official datasheet (SLVSGS9G).
Does TPS61299DRLR support programmable output voltage?
Yes - TPS61299DRLR uses the VSEL pin to select one of 21 factory-trimmed output voltages (1.8V–5.5V) via a single external resistor to GND. The setting is latched at power-up and remains fixed until EN is toggled. Resistor tolerance must be ≤1% and VSEL parasitic capacitance <10pF for accurate regulation.
How does the enable (EN) pin behave on TPS61299DRLR?
When EN is pulled low, TPS61299DRLR enters true shutdown mode: switching stops, the high-side MOSFET fully turns off, and input-output isolation is achieved with <60nA VIN shutdown current. This differs from TPS61299ADRLR, which enables force pass-through instead.
What is the typical efficiency of TPS61299DRLR at light load?
TPS61299DRLR achieves up to 91% efficiency at VIN=3.6V, VOUT=5V, and IOUT=10μA due to its 95nA quiescent current and hysteretic PFM/PWM control. Efficiency rises to 94% at 200mA, as verified in Figure 6-1 of the datasheet - critical for extending battery life in intermittent-use devices.
Which package does TPS61299DRLR use, and what are its dimensions?
TPS61299DRLR uses the SOT563 package (6-pin, 1.6mm × 1.6mm body size), distinct from the WCSP variant (TPS61299YBHR). This thermally robust surface-mount package supports standard reflow profiles and is optimized for automated assembly in high-volume wearable production.
