Product details
Overview
TPS65510RGTR from Texas Instruments is a low-power battery backup IC with integrated boost converter and power-path switching for real-time clock (RTC) systems. It features four LDOs (1.2 V, 1.8 V, dual 3.3 V), dual open-drain status indicators (CS, XRESET), and automatic main-to-backup battery switchover based on VO_BT voltage threshold (3.00 V typical). Designed for portable systems requiring continuous RTC operation during main power loss.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65510RGTR datasheet, TPS65510RGTR pinout, TPS65510RGTR application, or TPS65510RGTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin QFN package, 750 kHz PWM switching frequency, <3 µA backup-battery quiescent current, and integrated overvoltage/overcurrent/thermal protection - all critical for reliable backup power management in space-constrained portable electronics.
Technical Context
The TPS65510RGTR implements a peak-current-mode-controlled boost converter with selectable PFM/PWM modulation via PWMON pin, enabling dynamic efficiency optimization. Its power-path switch uses internal P-channel MOSFETs to route VOUT from either the 3.3-V LDO (when VO_BT ≥ 3.00 V) or directly from VBK (backup battery) when VO_BT falls below threshold.
Two independent open-drain indicators provide system-level monitoring: CS monitors both VBAT and VO_BT with 3.150 V detection threshold and 100 mV hysteresis, while XRESET monitors VOUT at 2.100 V with 100 mV hysteresis - both designed to interface directly with CPU/DSP reset inputs without external level-shifting.

| 1 VO_BT | Boost output | Regulated high-side output node; feeds VRO, VOUT, and VO1R8/VO1R2 LDOs; voltage set by FB/FBG divider |
| 2 SW | Boost switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries pulsed current up to 1.3 A; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor at PGND |
| 3 PGND | Power ground | Main return path for boost switch and LDO outputs; must be connected to solid ground plane under thermal pad |
| 4 AGND | Analog ground | Reference for FB, CS, XRESET comparators; isolated from PGND to minimize noise coupling into sensing circuits |
| 5 V_CTRL | LDO enable control | Active-high logic input disabling VO1R2 and VO1R8 when pulled low; reduces system standby current |
| 6 PWMON | Modulation select | Low = PFM (low-load efficiency); High = PWM (regulated 750 kHz); determines FBG impedance state |
| 7 CS | Status indicator | Open-drain output signaling low VBAT or VO_BT; requires 100 kΩ pull-up; asserts before XRESET during brownout |
| 8 XRESET | Reset indicator | Open-drain output signaling low VOUT; directly drives microcontroller reset pin; 25 µs detection delay |
| 9 VO1R2 | 1.2-V LDO output | Fully regulated 1.2 V supply; powered from VRO (3.3 V) or VBK depending on VO_BT level; 100 µA max load |
| 10 VO1R8 | 1.8-V LDO output | Fully regulated 1.8 V supply; same power path as VO1R2; enabled only when V_CTRL = high |
| 11 VOUT | Primary 3.3-V output | Auto-switched between VRO (LDO) and VBK (backup); provides RTC power during main battery removal |
| 12 VRO | 3.3-V LDO output | Dedicated 3.3 V regulator fed from VO_BT; supplies VOUT path and VO1R8/VO1R2 when VO_BT is valid |
| 13 VBK | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V coin cell or supercap; reverse-current protected; powers VOUT when VO_BT drops below 3.00 V |
| 14 FBG | Feedback ground select | High-Z in PFM mode (enables 3-resistor divider); near-GND in PWM mode (enables 2-resistor divider) |
| 15 FB | Feedback input | Monitors VO_BT via resistor divider; reference voltage = 1.250 V (PWM) or 1.250 V (PFM); sets output regulation point |
| 16 VBAT | Main battery input | Accepts 2.65–5.5 V Li-ion or alkaline; powers boost converter and enables UVLO (2.70 V threshold) |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS65510RGTR in a portable system?
The TPS65510RGTR serves as an autonomous battery backup power manager that automatically switches the VOUT supply between the main battery (via integrated boost + 3.3-V LDO) and a backup battery (VBK) based on VO_BT voltage level. It ensures uninterrupted RTC, memory, and critical logic operation during main power loss or battery replacement - all without firmware intervention. The TPS65510RGTR achieves this using internal P-MOSFET power-path switches and dual voltage monitors (CS and XRESET).
How does the TPS65510RGTR reduce system standby current when using a backup battery?
The TPS65510RGTR reduces backup-battery standby current to <3 µA maximum through three design features: (1) ultra-low ICC3/ICC4/ICC5 quiescent currents measured at VBK, (2) ability to disable VO1R2 and VO1R8 LDOs via V_CTRL pin, and (3) PFM mode operation that minimizes switching losses at light loads. This enables multi-year operation on standard coin cells like CR2032. The TPS65510RGTR datasheet specifies ICC3 = 0.1–1 µA typical under no-load VOUT conditions.
Can the TPS65510RGTR be used without an external inductor?
No - the TPS65510RGTR requires an external inductor connected between SW and PGND to implement its integrated boost converter. The device does not contain magnetic components. Typical inductor values range from 2.2 µH to 4.7 µH (e.g., Coilcraft MSS5131-472ML), selected based on output current and ripple requirements. Removing the inductor disables VO_BT generation, preventing VRO, VOUT, and VO1R8/VO1R2 regulation - rendering the TPS65510RGTR nonfunctional for its intended backup power role.
What are the voltage thresholds monitored by the CS and XRESET pins of the TPS65510RGTR?
The CS pin monitors two inputs: VBAT (UVLO threshold = 2.70 V typical, with –200 mV hysteresis) and VO_BT (detection threshold = 3.150 V typical, with 100 mV hysteresis). The XRESET pin monitors VOUT exclusively, asserting low when voltage falls below 2.100 V (typical), with 100 mV hysteresis. Both outputs are open-drain and require external 100 kΩ pull-up resistors. These thresholds are factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the TPS65510RGTR datasheet.
Is the TPS65510RGTR pin-compatible with any other TI battery backup ICs?
The TPS65510RGTR shares identical pinout, package (16-pin VQFN RGT), and footprint with the TPS65511RGTR, differing only in FB reference voltage (1.250 V vs. 1.225 V) and minor electrical tolerances. However, it is not pin-compatible with unrelated TI devices such as the TPS65023 or TPS65910 - those have different pin counts, functions, and power architectures. Always verify compatibility using the official TPS65510RGTR and TPS65511RGTR datasheets before board-level substitution.
