Product details
Overview
TPS63031DSKR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.3-V, high-efficiency single-inductor buck-boost DC/DC converter with integrated 1-A switches, operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V input and delivering up to 800 mA output in step-down mode (VIN ≥ 3.6 V) and up to 500 mA in boost mode (VIN ≥ 2.4 V), used in portable battery-powered systems such as IP network cameras and blood glucose monitors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS63031DSKR datasheet, TPS63031DSKR pinout, TPS63031DSKR application, or TPS63031DSKR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3-V fixed output, automatic buck-boost transition, power-save mode operation below 100 mA inductor current, 2.4 MHz switching frequency, and thermal performance in the 2.5-mm × 2.5-mm VSON package.
Technical Context
The TPS63031DSKR implements an average-current-mode control architecture with input/output voltage feed-forward for fast transient response, using four internal N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous 4-switch topology that enables seamless mode transition between buck and boost without discontinuity. Its dual-ground structure separates logic ground (GND) from power ground (PGND) to prevent ground shift under high switching currents.
Operation is governed by a 2.4 MHz fixed-frequency PWM modulator with optional synchronization via the PS/SYNC pin, while overtemperature protection (140°C trip, 20°C hysteresis) and undervoltage lockout (1.5 V typical on VINA) ensure robust system-level reliability across –40°C to 85°C ambient conditions.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% (ensures stable rail for 3.3-V microcontrollers and sensors) |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V (supports single-cell Li-ion down to 2.5 V and two/three-cell alkaline/NiMH) |
| Max Output Current | 800 mA at 3.3 V in step-down mode (VIN = 3.6–5.5 V); 500 mA in boost mode (VIN = 2.4–3.5 V) |
| Switching Frequency | 2.4 MHz typical (enables compact 1.5-μH inductor and low-profile ceramic capacitors) |

Pinout & Package
The TPS63031DSKR is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin VSON (DSK) package measuring 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm with an exposed thermal pad connected to PGND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT | Power output | Regulated 3.3-V supply node; requires local 10-μF ceramic capacitor and connection to FB |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies power stage; accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires 10-μF input capacitor |
| VINA | Control-stage supply | Provides clean bias for internal circuitry; decoupled with 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls device into shutdown when low, disconnecting load from input |
| PS/SYNC | Mode control / sync input | Low = enable power-save mode; high = forced fixed-frequency; external clock accepted for synchronization |
| FB | Feedback sense | Internally tied to VOUT for fixed 3.3-V operation; not configurable externally |
| GND | Logic ground reference | Reference for all control circuits; must be connected to PGND at single point near GND pin |
| PGND | Power ground return | Return path for high-current switches and inductors; connects to exposed thermal pad |
| L1, L2 | Inductor connections | Two terminals for external 1.5-μH coupled inductor; critical for buck-boost energy transfer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic buck-boost transition | Seamlessly switches between step-down and boost modes as VIN crosses VOUT, eliminating need for external mode control logic |
| Load disconnect during shutdown | Internal switches isolate VOUT from VIN when EN = low, preventing backfeed and enabling true system power gating |
| Power-save mode | Disables switching when inductor current drops below ~100 mA, reducing quiescent current to 35 μA for extended battery runtime |
| Synchronous 4-switch topology | Uses four internal N-MOSFETs to minimize conduction losses and eliminate external diode requirements |
| Integrated overtemperature protection | Shuts down at 140°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis, enabling reliable operation in sealed enclosures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS63021DSJR | Same 3.3-V fixed output, but 2.5-MHz switching frequency and 1.2-A switch rating; slightly higher quiescent current (50 μA) | Supports higher peak loads (up to 1.2 A) and tighter line/load regulation (±0.5% vs ±3%) | Preferred when transient load demands exceed 800 mA or tighter output tolerance is required |
| MAX77827BEWC+T | 3.3-V fixed output, 2.2-MHz switching, 1.2-A switches, but uses different pinout and requires external compensation | Offers programmable soft-start and more flexible fault reporting (PGOOD, OCP flags) | Selected when system-level diagnostics or controlled ramp-up are mandatory for host processor sequencing |
Compared with TPS63031DSKR, TPS63021DSJR delivers higher current capability and tighter regulation at modest efficiency trade-off, while MAX77827BEWC+T adds diagnostic features at the cost of layout complexity and non-drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the TPS63031DSKR?
The TPS63031DSKR provides a fixed 3.3-V output with a tolerance of ±3% over temperature, input voltage, and load conditions, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 3.267 V to 3.333 V per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table. This specification applies directly to the TPS63031DSKR and ensures compatibility with standard 3.3-V logic and analog interfaces without external trimming.
Does the TPS63031DSKR require external feedback resistors?
No, the TPS63031DSKR does not require external feedback resistors because it integrates a factory-trimmed resistor divider for its fixed 3.3-V output. The FB pin must be connected directly to VOUT per the datasheet, unlike the adjustable TPS63030DSKR variant. This simplifies design and eliminates resistor tolerance errors in the TPS63031DSKR implementation.
How does power-save mode function in the TPS63031DSKR?
In the TPS63031DSKR, power-save mode activates automatically when the PS/SYNC pin is pulled low, causing the converter to stop switching when inductor current falls below ~100 mA and output voltage remains at or above nominal. It resumes operation only when output voltage droops, minimizing quiescent current to 35 μA - a key feature for extending battery life in intermittently active devices using the TPS63031DSKR.
What is the recommended inductor value for the TPS63031DSKR?
The datasheet specifies a 1.5-μH coupled inductor (e.g., Coilcraft LPS3015-1R5) for the TPS63031DSKR, optimized for 2.4 MHz operation, 800-mA output, and minimal size. Inductor DCR must be low to maintain efficiency, and saturation current rating must exceed the calculated peak switch current (≥1.2 A typical), as defined in the TPS63031DSKR application curves and design procedure.
Can the TPS63031DSKR synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the TPS63031DSKR supports external clock synchronization via the PS/SYNC pin: applying a logic-level square wave within 2.2–2.6 MHz locks the internal oscillator using a phase-locked loop (PLL). This capability allows noise-sensitive systems to avoid switching frequency interference - a verified feature of the TPS63031DSKR documented in Section 8.4.3 of its datasheet.
