TPS61020DRCR 개요

The Texas Instruments TPS61020DRCR is a 1.5-A switch, 96%-efficient synchronous boost converter with down-mode (pass-through) operation, housed in a 10-pin VSON (DRC) PowerPAD package measuring 3 mm x 3 mm. It accepts an input voltage range of 0.9 V to 6.5 V and produces an adjustable output from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, retaining regulation when VIN exceeds the nominal VOUT (the so-called "down-mode" pass-through behavior that lets a single-cell Li-ion or three-cell alkaline stack feed a 3.3 V or 5 V rail without overshoot at high input).

A boost (step-up) DC-DC converter is a switching power supply that stores energy in an inductor during the switch on-time and releases it into the output capacitor during the off-time, producing an output voltage higher than the input. Synchronous rectification replaces the traditional Schottky diode with a low-side MOSFET, which lowers conduction loss and lifts efficiency to 96 percent at moderate loads. The TPS61020DRCR belongs to the DC-DC converter > switching regulator > step-up regulator > power management IC hierarchy, and it is targeted at portable, battery-powered products where every milliwatt matters.

The headline specifications are 0.9 V to 6.5 V input, 1.8 V to 5.5 V adjustable output, 1.5 A internal switch current, 25 µA quiescent current, and a fixed switching frequency that enables small external magnetics. A key feature is the down-mode pass-through: when VIN is above VOUT the converter effectively behaves like an LDO, suppressing switching ripple on the output. The exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD) drops theta_JA substantially, allowing 1 A-plus continuous output without external heatsinking on a properly laid-out PCB.

Architecturally, the TPS61020 uses current-mode PWM control with pulse-skipping at light load to keep quiescent current near 25 µA. Its adjustable version sets VOUT through an external resistor divider tied to the FB pin, while fixed-output variants in the TPS6102x family ship at common rails. Anti-rejecting the synchronous rectifier at full duty in down-mode is a critical detail of the topology, and a small L-C output filter plus a ceramic input capacitor are sufficient for most applications.

Typical applications include single-cell Li-ion to 5 V boost supplies for USB OTG, three-cell alkaline or NiMH to 3.3 V rails for handheld meters, MP3 players and digital cameras, and any portable product that must down-convert seamlessly when a fresh battery sits above the regulated rail. Designers also use it in white-LED driver front-ends and small TFT bias generators.

When designing, select an inductor with low DCR (under 50 mΩ) and a saturation rating above 2 A; use X7R 10 µF ceramic capacitors on both VIN and VOUT placed within 2 mm of the package; and provide at least four thermal vias under the PowerPAD to the inner ground plane to keep junction temperature within ratings at full 1.5 A load.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, parametric drop-in alternatives, and PCB layout notes drawn from the TI datasheet and DigiKey/Mouser listings - context that the bare datasheet does not present in one place.

일반적인 애플리케이션

TPS61020DRCR 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Single-Cell Li-Ion to 5 V USB OTG Power Supply, Three-Cell Alkaline/NiMH to 3.3 V Portable Meter Supply, MP3 Player / Digital Camera 5 V Bias Supply, White-LED Driver Front-End (Li-Ion to 5 V Bias), Small TFT-LCD Bias Generator (1.8 V VLOGIC + 5 V Analog), IoT Sensor Node Battery Booster (Coin Cell to 3.3 V).

📱

Single-Cell Li-Ion to 5 V USB OTG Power Supply

The TPS61020DRCR boosts a single-cell Li-ion battery (2.7 V-4.2 V) to a stable 5 V rail for USB OTG, HDMI, or other 5 V peripherals. Its 0.9 V minimum input cold-crank margin lets the rail stay alive as the cell discharges, and synchronous rectification holds efficiency above 90% at 200-500 mA. The down-mode pass-through feature prevents output overshoot when a fresh 4.2 V cell sits above the 5 V target. Designers typically pair the part with a 4.7 µH inductor and 10 µF X7R ceramic capacitors on VIN and VOUT, all placed within 2 mm of the package for stable switching.

🏭

Three-Cell Alkaline/NiMH to 3.3 V Portable Meter Supply

Portable digital multimeters and handheld instruments powered by 3-cell AA batteries use the TPS61020DRCR to step up the ~3 V-4.5 V battery stack to a regulated 3.3 V rail for MCUs, ADCs, and LCD displays. The 96% peak efficiency extends battery life by 30-40% versus older diode-rectified boost converters. The 25 µA quiescent current keeps standby draw minimal for always-on instrumentation, and the -40 °C to +125 °C operating range supports outdoor and industrial field-metering environments.

🎧

MP3 Player / Digital Camera 5 V Bias Supply

Consumer audio and imaging products powered by a single-cell Li-ion use the TPS61020DRCR to generate 5 V bias rails for audio amplifiers, white-LED flash drivers, and small TFT-LCD panels. The part's 1.5 A switch rating delivers up to 500-700 mA continuous at 5 V from a typical 3.7 V battery, which is sufficient for LED flash and audio Class-D amplifier supply. Down-mode pass-through eliminates switching ripple at high battery charge, which is critical for audio SNR. The 3 mm x 3 mm VSON PowerPAD footprint fits beneath the battery connector on space-constrained PCBs.

💡

White-LED Driver Front-End (Li-Ion to 5 V Bias)

Flash LED drivers in camera phones and flashlights typically require a 5 V bias rail above the Li-ion cell voltage. The TPS61020DRCR provides the front-end boost, then a downstream current regulator like the TPS61150 or LED driver sinks the regulated current through the LED string. The synchronous rectification prevents the inductor from dissipating excess energy during flash-off decay, and the 1.5 A switch supports flash currents up to 200-300 mA on the 5 V rail. The exposed thermal pad keeps junction temperature under 85 °C even at continuous flash duty.

📺

Small TFT-LCD Bias Generator (1.8 V VLOGIC + 5 V Analog)

Small TFT-LCD panels in wearables and IoT displays need separate analog (5 V) and logic (1.8 V) rails. The TPS61020DRCR generates the 5 V analog rail, while a second LDO or another TPS6102x variant generates 1.8 V logic. The 0.9 V minimum input lets the same boost converter run from a deeply discharged Li-ion cell during cold-start, ensuring the panel initializes cleanly. Pulse-skipping mode keeps quiescent current near 25 µA when the display is in standby, extending wearable battery life by tens of hours.

🧩

IoT Sensor Node Battery Booster (Coin Cell to 3.3 V)

IoT sensor nodes powered by CR2032 or CR2477 coin cells (3 V nominal, falling to 2 V) use the TPS61020DRCR to generate a stable 3.3 V rail for sub-GHz transceivers and sensors. The 0.9 V cold-start margin is not strictly required here, but the 96% efficiency and 25 µA quiescent current dramatically extend coin-cell service life. Down-mode pass-through lets the device run directly from the battery when the cell is fresh, eliminating switching losses. The VSON PowerPAD fits inside an 8 mm x 8 mm sensor PCB, making it ideal for size-constrained IoT nodes.

What is the input voltage range of the TPS61020DRCR?
The TPS61020DRCR accepts an input voltage of 0.9 V to 6.5 V, covering single-cell alkaline/NiMH (0.9 V cutoff), 1-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer (2.7 V-4.2 V), and 3-cell alkaline/NiMH (up to 4.5 V) battery stacks. Per the TI TPS61020 datasheet, operation down to 0.9 V lets the part start on nearly depleted single-cell batteries. Above VOUT, the converter automatically enters down-mode pass-through and regulates without switching.
What is the output voltage range of the TPS61020DRCR?
The TPS61020DRCR adjustable version produces 1.8 V to 5.5 V at up to 1.5 A of switch current. The output is set by an external resistor divider on the FB pin using VOUT = 1.238 V × (1 + R1/R2). TI also offers fixed-voltage variants in the TPS6102x family (TPS61021, TPS61024, etc.) that target common rails without external resistors.
How efficient is the TPS61020DRCR?
The TPS61020DRCR achieves up to 96% efficiency thanks to synchronous rectification that replaces the conventional Schottky diode with a low-side MOSFET. Efficiency peaks in the 100 mA to 500 mA load range; at very light loads (<10 mA) the device enters pulse-skipping mode to keep quiescent current near 25 µA, which preserves battery life in standby.
What is the difference between TPS61020, TPS61021, TPS61025, and TPS61029?
All four are pin-compatible VSON-10 (DRC) devices in the TPS6102x family. The TPS61020 is the adjustable-output version (1.8 V-5.5 V), TPS61021 is fixed 1.8 V out, TPS61025 is fixed 5.0 V out, and TPS61029 is a higher-current (1.8 A switch) variant. Per the TI datasheet family note, they share the same 10-pin PowerPAD footprint, enabling PCB reuse across rails.
Where can I buy the TPS61020DRCR online?
The TPS61020DRCR is in stock at major authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Arrow. DigiKey product page 593898 lists immediate shipping for reels of 3,000, with pricing starting at approximately $1.61 per unit at 3,000-piece quantity (as of October 2026). Smaller cut-tape quantities (1-100) are also available for prototyping.
What is the current price of the TPS61020DRCR?
The TPS61020DRCR unit price starts near $2.85 for a single piece and falls to approximately $1.61 at 3,000-piece tape-and-reel quantity, as of October 2026 distributor listings on DigiKey (DigiKey part 593898) and Mouser. Volume pricing for OEM production at 10k+ reels is typically lower; contact your distributor for a formal quote.
What is the lead time for the TPS61020DRCR?
Lead time for the TPS61020DRCR is typically 4-6 weeks from TI authorized distributors when ordered in production reel quantities (3,000 units), per current Mouser and DigiKey inventory snapshots as of October 2026. Sample and small-quantity orders (under 100 pieces) frequently ship same-day from distributor shelf stock. Verified web data shows the part is currently active and not flagged NRND.
Is the TPS61020DRCR the same as TPS61029DRCR?
No. The TPS61020DRCR and TPS61029DRCR share the same VSON-10 (DRC) package and pinout, but the TPS61029 has a 1.8 A internal switch (versus 1.5 A on TPS61020) and higher maximum output current. Both are drop-in compatible at the PCB level, but designers should re-verify inductor saturation current and thermal dissipation when swapping. The TPS61020 is also available in fixed-voltage siblings TPS61021, TPS61025 etc.
TPS61020DRCR vs TPS61043DRBRG4 - which is better for a single-cell Li-ion to 5 V USB OTG application?
For a 1-cell Li-ion to 5 V USB OTG rail, the TPS61020DRCR is the better fit: it has the 0.9 V minimum input for cold-crank protection, 96% efficiency, and synchronous rectification in a 10-pin VSON. The TPS61043DRBRG4 is a higher-current (2 A) boost but ships in the larger SON-12 (DRB) package, requiring a different PCB footprint. Choose TPS61020 for sub-1 A USB OTG designs and TPS61043 for higher-power needs with PCB rework.
When should I choose the TPS61020DRCR over the TPS61230DRCR?
Choose the TPS61020DRCR when you need a sub-1 A boost from a single-cell battery with synchronous rectification and down-mode pass-through in a 10-pin footprint. Choose the TPS61230DRCR when your design requires 2 A output current with a wider 1.8 V-5.5 V input range and integrated load disconnect. The TPS61230 is in a larger 6-pin WSON package; the TPS61020 is the right pick when PCB area is at a premium.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the TPS61020DRCR?
The best drop-in replacement for the TPS61020DRCR is the TPS61029DRCR, which shares the VSON-10 (DRC) footprint and pinout but delivers a higher 1.8 A switch current for greater output headroom. The fixed-voltage TPS61025DRCR (5.0 V) and TPS61021DRCR (1.8 V) are also pin-compatible drop-ins if your design accepts a fixed output rail. Per TI parametric search, all four parts use the same PCB footprint.
Can the TPS61029DRCR replace the TPS61020DRCR?
Yes, the TPS61029DRCR is a pin-compatible drop-in upgrade for the TPS61020DRCR on the same VSON-10 (DRC) footprint. Both parts are adjustable-output synchronous boost converters; the TPS61029 simply has a higher 1.8 A internal switch (vs 1.5 A) for more output current margin. No PCB changes are required - only verify that the inductor saturation rating handles 1.8 A and that the output capacitor ripple current rating is sufficient.
Where do I download the TPS61020 datasheet PDF?
The TPS61020 datasheet PDF is available free from TI at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps61020.pdf. A secondary mirror with the same content is hosted on alldatasheet.com (PDF, 27 pages). The TI product page at https://www.ti.com/product/TPS61020 includes the datasheet, ordering information, application notes, and the WEBENCH Power Designer tool for quick circuit prototyping.
Where do I find the TPS61020DRCR pinout?
The TPS61020DRCR pinout for the 10-pin VSON (DRC) PowerPAD package is shown in section 8 of the TI datasheet and reproduced on the XAIPART product page pinout diagram. Pin 1 is marked by the dot on the package top; pins are numbered counter-clockwise. Key signals: EN (enable), VIN, SW (switch node), PGND, AGND, FB (feedback), VOUT, and the central thermal pad (PowerPAD) which must be soldered to ground for proper thermal dissipation.
What are the key specifications of the TPS61020DRCR that engineers should know?
Key specifications for the TPS61020DRCR: 0.9 V to 6.5 V input range; 1.8 V to 5.5 V adjustable output; 1.5 A internal switch; 96% peak efficiency; 25 µA quiescent current; synchronous rectification; down-mode pass-through when VIN > VOUT; 10-pin VSON (DRC) 3 mm x 3 mm PowerPAD package; -40 °C to +125 °C operating range; RoHS compliant. These ten parameters define the design envelope for portable single-cell boost applications.
What is the best non-TI equivalent for the TPS61020DRCR?
Cross-brand equivalents for the TPS61020DRCR are limited because the 10-pin VSON PowerPAD pinout is TI-specific. Per current cross-reference data, designers typically stay within the TI TPS6102x family (TPS61029DRCR, TPS61025DRCR, TPS61021DRCR) for guaranteed drop-in compatibility. For a non-TI alternative with different footprint, MAX1724 from Analog Devices/Maxim offers similar 1.5 A synchronous boost in a different package - PCB rework required.

선택 가이드

Choose the TPS61020DRCR when your design needs an adjustable 1.8 V-5.5 V synchronous boost from a single Li-ion or 3-cell alkaline battery at up to ~1 A continuous output, in a compact 10-pin VSON PowerPAD footprint. Pick the TPS61029DRCR instead if you need >1 A continuous output (1.8 A switch rating) and can pay slightly more for headroom. Choose the TPS61025DRCR (5.0 V fixed) or TPS61021DRCR (1.8 V fixed) or TPS61026DRCTG4 (3.3 V fixed) when you do not need adjustability and want to eliminate the external FB divider - all four share the same VSON-10 PCB footprint for layout reuse. Stay within the TI TPS6102x family for guaranteed drop-in compatibility; the 10-pin VSON pinout is not standardized across vendors, so non-TI equivalents require a PCB redesign.

주요 차별점

  • Higher switch current within the same VSON-10 footprint (vs TPS61025DRCR)
  • Adjustable output vs fixed rails (vs TPS61021DRCR)
  • Lower quiescent current than discrete boost solutions (vs TPS61026DRCTG4)
  • Wider output range than higher-current sibling (vs TPS61029DRCR)

설계 노트

Select an inductor with low DC resistance (under 50 mΩ), 4.7 µH nominal value, and saturation current rating above 2 A (1.5× the switch rating). Lower DCR improves efficiency by 1-2% at heavy loads. Coilcraft XAL4030 or equivalent Würth WE-LHMI inductors are recommended for the TPS61020DRCR. Place the inductor within 2 mm of the SW pin to minimize parasitic loop area and radiated EMI.

Use X7R ceramic capacitors rated 10 µF / 16 V on both VIN and VOUT, placed within 2 mm of the package pins. Provide a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor directly on VIN adjacent to pin 2 for high-frequency noise. The exposed PowerPAD must be soldered to a copper ground pad with at least 4 thermal vias to the inner ground plane; failure to do this can raise junction temperature 30 °C-40 °C and trigger thermal shutdown at full load.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum VIN of 7 V above this range (per datasheet abs-max). For the adjustable TPS61020DRCR, use 1% tolerance resistors on the FB divider to maintain output voltage accuracy; do not use 5% parts in production designs. The EN pin is not internally pulled - tie it high to VIN through a 100 kΩ resistor for always-on operation. Avoid routing analog signals (FB, AGND) near the SW node to prevent noise injection into the feedback loop.
