TPS610981DSER Descripción general

The Texas Instruments TPS610981 is an ultra-low quiescent current synchronous boost converter with an integrated low-dropout linear regulator (LDO), delivering a fixed 3.3V main output plus a secondary LDO rail in a compact 6-pin WSON (1.5x1.5mm) package. It operates from a single-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, coin cell, or Li-Ion battery.

A boost converter is a DC-DC step-up topology within the broader voltage regulator family of power management ICs. It raises a lower input voltage to a higher regulated output using an inductor and synchronous switching elements. The TPS61098x family integrates this boost converter with either an LDO or a load switch, providing two output rails from one IC - a key differentiator for space-constrained battery designs.

Key features include ultra-low quiescent current of typically 300 nA, extending battery life in standby for years-long deployments. The synchronous boost delivers up to 300 mA at 3.3V from a 1.8V input with efficiency up to 95%, while the integrated LDO supplies a clean, low-noise rail for analog or RF circuitry. True load disconnect during shutdown prevents battery drain, and integrated overcurrent and overtemperature protection ensure robust operation.

Architecturally, the device uses pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) at light loads to minimize quiescent current, transitioning to PWM at heavier loads for low ripple and stable regulation. The LDO is powered from the boost output, generating a second rail with no additional magnetics. Typical applications include wireless sensor nodes, hearing aids, portable medical devices, and IoT endpoints where the 3.3V rail powers microcontrollers and RF transceivers while the LDO rail feeds analog sensors or audio codecs.

For design, select the recommended 2.2 uH inductor and place input/output capacitors close to the pins to minimize ripple and preserve the ultra-low standby current advantage.

Aplicaciones típicas

TPS610981DSER es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Wireless IoT Sensor Nodes, Hearing Aids and Wearables, Portable Medical Devices, Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Systems, Energy Harvesting and Remote Monitoring, Portable Audio Devices.

🧩

Wireless IoT Sensor Nodes

Battery-powered IoT nodes spend most of their life in sleep, making the TPS610981's 300 nA quiescent current decisive for multi-year operation from a single coin cell or alkaline cell. The synchronous boost raises the decaying cell voltage to a stable 3.3V rail for the MCU and radio, while the integrated LDO supplies a low-noise rail for the RF transceiver or analog front end, all in a 1.5x1.5mm footprint that fits coin-cell-sized PCBs.

📱

Hearing Aids and Wearables

Hearing aids and wearables demand extreme miniaturization and long battery life; the TPS610981 addresses both with its 6-WSON 1.5x1.5mm package and 300 nA standby current. Running from a single zinc-air or Li-Ion cell, the boost delivers 3.3V for the audio DSP while the integrated LDO powers low-noise analog sections such as microphone bias or codec supplies, eliminating a second regulator IC and saving board area and cost.

💊

Portable Medical Devices

Portable medical monitors and diagnostic devices require clean, stable rails for analog measurement circuits even as the battery discharges. The TPS610981's boost stage maintains a firm 3.3V rail for the MCU and display, while the integrated LDO provides a low-ripple supply for sensors and signal conditioning. True load disconnect prevents battery drain in storage, and integrated overcurrent and overtemperature protection support robust, safe operation in patient-adjacent products.

⚡

Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Systems

A single Li-Ion cell swings from 4.2V down toward 3V or lower, yet many 3.3V peripherals need regulation across this whole range. The TPS610981's low-input synchronous boost continues delivering a solid 3.3V rail as the cell discharges, with up to 95% efficiency at load. The integrated LDO adds a second regulated rail for analog circuitry, and the 300 nA quiescent draw minimizes standby losses between charging cycles in portable products.

🌐

Energy Harvesting and Remote Monitoring

Remote monitoring endpoints powered by small primary cells or harvested energy benefit from the TPS610981's ability to start and regulate from very low input voltages. The PFM control scheme keeps conversion losses negligible at microamp average loads, so a small cell can sustain a radio-plus-sensor node for years. The 3.3V boost rail runs the MCU and RF link, while the LDO rail powers the analog sensor, all within a footprint small enough for compact remote units.

🎧

Portable Audio Devices

In compact audio products such as recorders and portable codecs, power-supply noise directly affects the audio signal path. The TPS610981's integrated LDO filters the boost output, providing a low-noise rail for the audio codec or microphone amplifier, while the 3.3V boost rail powers the digital section from a single cell. This two-rail, one-IC approach reduces component count and keeps analog and digital supplies separated for better noise performance.

What is the output voltage of TPS610981?
The TPS610981 provides a fixed 3.3V main boost output plus a secondary regulated LDO output, giving two rails from one IC. According to TI datasheet (TPS61098x, Rev. F), the boost stage regulates 3.3V from inputs as low as a single alkaline or Li-Ion cell, and the integrated LDO is powered from the boost output.
What is the quiescent current of TPS610981?
The TPS610981 draws only 300 nA typical quiescent current, which is its defining feature. This ultra-low Iq extends standby battery life dramatically in always-on IoT sensors and wearables, where the converter spends most of the time at light load under PFM control.
What is the difference between TPS610981 and TPS610980?
Both are members of the TPS61098x family in the same 6-WSON package, but they integrate different secondary functions. Per TI documentation, the TPS61098x family offers either an LDO or a load switch as the second rail; TPS610981 includes the integrated LDO for a clean analog/RF rail, while related variants use a load switch. Verify the exact variant ordering code against the datasheet before substitution.
Where can I buy TPS610981 and what does it cost?
TPS610981 is available from DigiKey, Mouser, and TI.com, in DSER (tape and reel) and DSET (cut tape) packaging. As of 2026-08-29, single-unit pricing is approximately $1.45, dropping to roughly $0.62 at 1000 pieces. DigiKey lists both TPS610981DSER and TPS610981DSET as in stock and shipping same day.
What is the best drop-in replacement for TPS610981?
The best drop-in replacements are other TPS61098x family members such as TPS610980, which share the identical 6-WSON (1.5x1.5mm) footprint and boost architecture. True cross-brand drop-in equivalents in the same 1.5x1.5mm WSON-6 footprint with integrated LDO are scarce; verify pinout on the TI datasheet schematic before second-sourcing.
Can TPS61291 replace TPS610981?
Not as a drop-in. FindIC comparison data shows TPS610981 and TPS61291 have similar functions (low-input synchronous boost converters) but different main parameters and circuit structure. Replacement would require circuit modification and a full datasheet review, so TPS61291 is a functional alternative, not pin-compatible.
Is TPS610981 suitable for single-cell alkaline battery applications?
Yes. According to TI, the TPS61098x is designed for products powered by one- or two-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, one-cell coin cell, or one-cell Li-Ion/Li-polymer batteries. The low input voltage capability and 300 nA quiescent current make it ideal for squeezing years of life from a single AA or coin cell in IoT nodes.
TPS610981 vs TPS61299 - which should I choose?
Choose TPS610981 when you need two rails (boost + LDO) and minimum standby current of 300 nA. TI notes TPS61299 has the same functionality but a different pinout, so it is not drop-in. TPS61299 suits designs needing higher output current or different output settings; TPS610981 suits space-constrained dual-rail designs prioritizing battery life.
Where to download the TPS610981 datasheet PDF?
Download the TPS61098x datasheet (Rev. F, 44 pages) from TI.com at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps610981.pdf. The datasheet includes the 6-WSON pinout, typical application circuits, inductor selection tables, and thermal information for all family variants.

Guía de selección

Choose TPS610981 when your design needs two regulated rails from one small IC: a fixed 3.3V boost rail for MCU/radio and a low-noise LDO rail for analog or RF, powered from a single alkaline, NiMH, coin cell, or Li-Ion battery, and standby current matters (300 nA typical). Choose TPS610980 (same footprint, drop-in) if the second rail only needs a load switch rather than a regulated LDO. Choose TPS61299 or TPS61291 when you need adjustable output or different current levels - but plan for a PCB change since their pinouts differ from the TPS61098x family. Choose TLV61225 for lowest-cost boost-only designs where the ultra-low Iq and dual rails are not required. For all alternatives, verify pinout against the TI datasheet before layout reuse.

  • Ultra-low 300 nA quiescent current (frente a TLV61225DSER)
  • True load disconnect at shutdown (frente a TPS61291DSER)

Notas de diseño

In the 1.5x1.5mm WSON-6 layout, place the 2.2 uH inductor within 1 mm of the SW pin and keep the SW node copper area minimal to limit EMI. Place input ceramic capacitor directly at VIN/GND and the output capacitor at VOUT/GND with short, wide traces. Use multiple vias to the ground plane under the device thermal pad for low-impedance return and heat dissipation.

The 300 nA quiescent current benefit is lost if leaky external components are used: select ceramic capacitors with low leakage and a resistor divider-free fixed-output configuration where possible. In shutdown, true load disconnect prevents the output from back-feeding the battery, but downstream leakage paths in the load circuit can still drain the cell - audit the full BOM for standby consumption.

Do not substitute a different pinout boost converter (e.g., TPS61299, TLV61225) without PCB rework - TI explicitly marks these as same-function, different pinout. Also verify the LDO output current budget: the LDO is powered from the boost output, so total load current must stay within the converter's capability; oversizing the LDO rail load can collapse the boost rail at low battery voltage.
