Product details
Overview
TPS613226ADBVR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost converter optimized for ultra-low-power battery-powered systems, delivering fixed 3.6 V output with ±3% accuracy, 6.5-µA quiescent current into VOUT, and 1.2-A peak switch current limit in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package. It operates from 0.9 V to 5.5 V input and supports 1-cell alkaline/NiMH or single Li-ion battery applications requiring stable low-noise 3.6 V rail for microcontrollers or sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS613226ADBVR datasheet, TPS613226ADBVR pinout, TPS613226ADBVR application, or TPS613226ADBVR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-ready availability details - all grounded in TI's production-grade SLVSDY5E datasheet (Feb 2024).
Technical Context
The TPS613226ADBVR uses a hysteretic current-mode control topology with synchronous rectification to achieve high efficiency at light loads while maintaining ultra-low quiescent current. Its internal error amplifier regulates output voltage by adjusting inductor current offset against a fixed 200-mA ripple, enabling both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes depending on load.
Startup begins when VIN exceeds 0.83 V; soft-start ramps reference voltage to 0.8 V over 2 ms to limit inrush. Undervoltage lockout disables operation below 0.4 V (with 100-mV hysteresis), and thermal shutdown activates at 150°C (130°C restart threshold), ensuring robust operation in compact portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.9 V to 5.5 V - supports full discharge curve of 1-cell alkaline (0.9–1.6 V) and single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.6 V (±3% over –40°C to +125°C) - eliminates need for external feedback resistors; matches common MCU I/O or sensor bias rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 6.5 µA into VOUT pin - enables >1-year battery life in always-on wake-on-event systems powered by 200-mAh alkaline cells. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1.2 A - supports up to ~500 mA output at 3.6 V with 3-V input when paired with external Schottky diode (per TI application note). |
| Efficiency @ 10 mA | >90% at 1.5-V → 2.2-V conversion - directly applicable to TPS613226A per Figure 6-7; confirms high light-load efficiency critical for intermittent-sensing nodes. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C junction temperature - protects device during sustained high-current operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient conditions. |
| Package | SOT-23-5 (DBV), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles; 0.95-mm max height enables thin-profile wearable integration. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.95 mm max height, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant. Pin 1 marked via dot; pins 3 and 5 are NC (no internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for switch current and IC bias; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane adjacent to SW and VOUT pins. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace and local ceramic decoupling to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 3.6 V; connects to output capacitor and load; quiescent current drawn here enables accurate light-load regulation without external bias network. |
| NC (Pin 1) | No connection | Internally unconnected - may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability; no electrical function. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No connection | Internally unconnected - no routing or soldering required; avoids false assumptions about unused functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic current-mode control | Eliminates external compensation components and enables instant load transient response (<10 µs recovery) without loop-stability tuning. |
| 200-mA fixed inductor ripple | Enables predictable CCM/DCM boundary and simplifies inductor selection - e.g., 2.2-µH or 4.7-µH suffices for most 3.6-V output designs. |
| Soft-start (2-ms ramp) | Reduces input inrush current to <50 mA during startup - prevents brownout in weak battery or shared-rail systems. |
| External Schottky diode support | Boosts output current capability beyond internal FET limits - enables 500+ mA at 3.6 V with 3-V input for USB OTG or display backlight drivers. |
| UVLO with 100-mV hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory operation near battery depletion - ensures clean shutdown at 0.4 V and reliable restart only after recharge to ≥0.5 V. |
Applications
| Wireless Sensor Node | Gaming Peripheral |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered environmental sensor (temperature/humidity) transmitting data every 5 minutes via BLE. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 3.6-V power rail generator from single AA alkaline cell (0.9–1.6 V range).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS613222ADBVR | Fixed 5.0 V output; 1.8-A peak switch limit; higher RDS(on) (750 mΩ HS / 150 mΩ LS). | Targets USB OTG (5 V) or display bias; not suitable where 3.6 V rail is mandatory for MCU core voltage. | Select only if system requires 5 V output and can tolerate slightly lower efficiency at light loads due to higher RDS(on). |
| TPS613221ADBVR | Fixed 3.3 V output; 1.2-A peak switch limit; identical quiescent current and package. | Matches 3.3-V logic families (e.g., SPI peripherals, UART transceivers); lacks 3.6-V compatibility for certain RF modules or analog sensors. | Choose when interfacing with 3.3-V-only subsystems; verify 3.3 V meets minimum VDD requirements of target ICs before substitution. |
Compared with TPS613226ADBVR, TPS613222ADBVR provides higher output voltage and current but sacrifices 3.6-V precision for USB-compliant 5 V, while TPS613221ADBVR offers identical form-factor and efficiency but shifts output to 3.3 V - making TPS613226ADBVR the sole option for designs requiring exact 3.6-V regulation with minimal BOM count.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the TPS613226ADBVR over temperature?
The TPS613226ADBVR delivers a fixed 3.6 V output with ±3% accuracy across the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, as specified in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics of the SLVSDY5E datasheet. This tolerance includes initial calibration, line regulation, load regulation, and thermal drift - ensuring reliable operation for precision analog circuits without external trimming.
Can the TPS613226ADBVR operate with input voltage below 0.9 V?
Yes - the TPS613226ADBVR supports startup down to 0.83 V (typical) at the VOUT pin and can sustain operation with input voltage as low as 0.4 V after startup, per Section 7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout. However, guaranteed performance (efficiency, regulation, current limit) applies only within the recommended 0.9 V to 5.5 V input range.
Does the TPS613226ADBVR require external compensation components?
No - the TPS613226ADBVR uses a hysteretic current-mode control architecture that eliminates the need for external compensation networks. Its internal error amplifier and fixed 200-mA inductor ripple enable stable operation with only two external components: an inductor and output capacitor - reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How does the thermal shutdown behavior of the TPS613226ADBVR affect system reliability?
The TPS613226ADBVR shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and automatically resumes operation once the die cools to ~130°C (20°C hysteresis). This protects against permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking, and its 189.7°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (DBV package) allows safe operation up to 500 mW dissipation in still air - sufficient for typical 100–200 mA loads.
Is the TPS613226ADBVR pin-compatible with other variants in the TPS61322 family?
Yes - all TPS61322xx variants in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package share identical pinout: Pin 1 (NC), Pin 2 (SW), Pin 3 (NC), Pin 4 (GND), Pin 5 (VOUT). This allows direct substitution between TPS613226ADBVR, TPS613222ADBVR, and TPS613221ADBVR without PCB redesign, provided output voltage and current requirements align with the selected variant.
