Critical Notes Before Ordering
| # | Issue | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BOM package field said "QFN-20 3.5×3.5mm" for U1 | The actual TPS61088 RHL package is VQFN-20, 4.5×3.5mm. Your KiCad footprint is correct — only the BOM description was wrong (now fixed). |
| 2 | PCB silkscreen reads TPS61088QRHLRQ1 (automotive Q1 variant), BOM lists TPS61088RHLR (commercial) |
The commercial TPS61088RHLR is a fully drop-in substitute: same RHL package, same pinout. Use it — it's ~5× cheaper and far more available. |
| 3 | U1 vs U2 designator mismatch | Standalone tps61088_boost.kicad_sch test schematic uses U1; integrated firstpcb.kicad_pcb uses U2. Same part either way. |
| 4 | TPS61088 pinout verified | Schematic pins 1/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/11/12/15 = VIN/EN/SS-TR/COMP/FB/AGND/PGOOD/VOUT/BST/SW/PGND — matches TI datasheet exactly. ✅ |
| 5 | L1 inductor substitution warning | If swapping the Bourns SRP1265 for the cheaper TDK SPM10065, the footprint changes (12.6×12.6mm → 10.5×10mm). Verify the KiCad footprint matches before ordering. |
Recommended Combo Kits (Buy These First)
These cover multiple BOM lines and stock you up for future builds:
| Kit | Covers | Est. Price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0805 E96 1% Resistor Sample Book (170 values × 25pcs) | R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 + lifetime supply | ~$15–25 | Amazon B09Z2RDW2F |
| 0805 SMD Ceramic Cap Kit (50V, 22pF–22µF) | C6, C8, C9 | ~$5–15 | AliExpress multi-value kit |
| 1206 22µF 25V X5R 50-pack (CL31A226KAHNNNE) | C4, C5, C10, C11 | ~$8 | AliExpress 50-pack |
| JST-XH 2.54mm Connector Kit (560pcs, 2–6 pin housings + crimps + headers) | StepperConnection1 | ~$8–12 | Search JST-XH 2.54mm kit 560pcs |
| JST-EH 2.5mm 3-pin Kit (housing + crimps + header) | SW1 | ~$4–6 | Search JST-EH 2.5mm 3-pin housing crimp |
Why the kit approach: R3 (30.1K) and R4 (190K) are E96 values that aren't in basic E24 kits. Buying a proper E96 sample book is cheaper than ordering five individual reels and means you'll have every standard value for future projects.
Single-Part Key Items
Parts that can't be combo'd — order these individually:
| Ref | Part | Source | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | TPS61088RHLR | LCSC C87357 | ~$0.61 | 14k in stock. Drop-in for the Q1 variant on the silkscreen. |
| L1 | TDK SPM10065VT-2R2M-D (2.2µH, 16.6A) | LCSC C1015860 | ~$1.50 | Cheaper alternative to Bourns SRP1265. Verify footprint match. |
| L1 (alt) | Bourns SRP1265A-2R2M (2.2µH, 22A) | DigiKey | ~$2–3 | Matches original BOM footprint exactly. |
| C3 | 100µF 25V SMD electrolytic, 6.3×5.8mm | AliExpress 10-pack | ~$2–3 | JAMICON/Lelon equivalents are fine. Verify pad layout. |
| A4988 | Stepper driver module + heatsink, 5-pack | AliExpress | ~$5–8 | Any reputable seller. Heatsinks included. |
