Product details
Overview
TPS61322DBZR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous boost converter IC designed for ultra-low-power battery-powered systems. It operates from 0.9 V to 5.5 V input, delivers fixed 2.2 V output with ±3% accuracy, draws only 6.5 µA quiescent current into VOUT, and features 0.75 A peak switch current limit in its DBZ (3-pin SOT-23) package - enabling long-life operation in single-cell alkaline/NiMH devices such as wireless mice and portable medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61322DBZR datasheet, TPS61322DBZR pinout, TPS61322DBZR application, or TPS61322DBZR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world efficiency data at light loads, thermal shutdown behavior, and validated alternative options for low-IQ boost conversion where input voltage may drop below 1 V after startup.
Technical Context
The TPS61322DBZR uses a hysteretic current-mode control topology with synchronous rectification to maximize efficiency at microamp-level quiescent current. Its internal error amplifier regulates output voltage by maintaining a fixed 200 mA inductor ripple and dynamically adjusting current offset based on load demand.
It supports discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) under light loads to sustain >90% efficiency at 10 mA (1.5 V → 2.2 V), includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 0.4 V turn-on threshold and 100 mV hysteresis, and integrates thermal shutdown at 150 °C with 20 °C hysteresis - all implemented in a 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm SOT-23-3 package with GND/SW/VOUT terminals only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.9 V to 5.5 V - supports full discharge of 1-cell alkaline/NiMH (down to 0.4 V post-startup) |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.2 V ±3% - eliminates external feedback resistors; optimized for 2.2 V rail in portable sensors |
| Quiescent Current | 6.5 µA into VOUT - enables multi-year battery life in always-on applications drawing <100 µA average |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 0.5 A to 0.75 A - sets maximum deliverable output current (e.g., ~114 mA at 0.9 V → 2.2 V, 70% eff.) |
| Efficiency @ 10 mA | >90% at 1.5 V → 2.2 V - reduces thermal stress and extends runtime in low-duty-cycle IoT endpoints |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C activation with 20 °C hysteresis - protects silicon during sustained high-current or poor PCB thermal design |
| Package | SOT-23-3 (DBZ), 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm - compatible with standard pick-and-place; no NC pins |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm body, single-row 3-pin surface-mount, no exposed pad, RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for SW switching current and internal bias; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed high-side FET current; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.2 V; connects directly to output capacitor and load; supplies internal reference and error amplifier |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic current-mode control | Eliminates external compensation; maintains stable regulation across 0.9–5.5 V input without loop instability |
| Synchronous rectification | Reduces conduction loss vs. diode-based boosters; enables >90% efficiency at 10 mA with minimal BOM |
| Ultra-low 6.5 µA IQ | Extends shelf life and operational lifetime in battery-gauged devices; supports years of standby in remote sensors |
| Integrated UVLO & thermal protection | Prevents damage during brownout or overheating; auto-recovery after cooldown avoids system latch-up |
| Fixed 2.2 V output | Requires only inductor and output capacitor - no feedback divider needed; simplifies layout and reduces component count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS613221ADBVR | Fixed 3.3 V output; 1.2 A peak switch current limit; same DBV (5-pin SOT-23) package | Targets higher-voltage logic rails (e.g., 3.3 V MCU peripherals); requires different output capacitor ESR tuning | Select when system needs 3.3 V output and can accommodate 5-pin layout; not pin-compatible with DBZ |
| TPS61291DRVR | 0.95 µA IQ; 0.5 A switch limit; 2.2 V fixed output; WSON-6 package (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm) | Better suited for extreme ultra-low-power designs (<1 µA sleep); smaller footprint but requires thermal pad layout | Choose for longest possible battery life where PCB area allows WSON-6; differs in package, thermal performance, and pinout |
Compared with TPS61322DBZR, TPS613221ADBVR offers higher output voltage and current but requires 5-pin routing and lacks SOT-23-3 compatibility, while TPS61291DRVR achieves significantly lower quiescent current in a different package - making TPS61322DBZR optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 2.2 V boost applications with moderate current demands.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the TPS61322DBZR?
The TPS61322DBZR has a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 2.2 V with ±3% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This value is internally set and requires no external resistors - confirmed in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics of the SLVSDY5E datasheet, where VOUT is specified as 2.134 V (min) to 2.266 V (max) under full operating conditions.
Does the TPS61322DBZR support input voltages below 1 V?
Yes - the TPS61322DBZR starts up at minimum VIN = 0.9 V and continues operating down to 0.4 V after startup is complete, as stated in Section 7.1 Overview and Table 6-1. This enables full utilization of alkaline/NiMH cell discharge curves, extending usable battery capacity beyond conventional 1.0 V cutoffs.
What is the peak switch current limit for the TPS61322DBZR?
The TPS61322DBZR has a typical peak switch current limit of 0.75 A, with a minimum of 0.5 A and maximum of 1.2 A across temperature and process variation (Section 6.5, ILIM parameter). This limit defines the maximum instantaneous inductor current and constrains achievable output current depending on input/output voltage ratio and efficiency.
Can the TPS61322DBZR be used with an external Schottky diode?
No - the TPS61322DBZR (DBZ package) does not support external Schottky diode enhancement. That capability is exclusive to variants like TPS613222A (5-pin DBV package) which include dedicated pins for external diode connection. The DBZ version has only GND/SW/VOUT pins and relies solely on internal synchronous rectification.
What package type is used by the TPS61322DBZR?
The TPS61322DBZR uses the SOT-23-3 (DBZ) package: a 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm body with three terminals (GND, SW, VOUT), no NC pins, and standard gull-wing leads. This is explicitly documented in the Device Information table and Pin Configuration section (Figure 5-1) of the SLVSDY5E datasheet.
