3 Description
The TPS6124x device is a highly efficient
synchronous step-up DC-DC converter optimized for products powered by either a three-cell alkaline, NiCd
or NiMH, or one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery. The
TPS6124x supports output currents up to 450 mA.
The TPS61240 has an input valley current limit of 500
mA, and the TPS61241 has an input valley current of
600 mA.
With an input voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V, the
device supports batteries with extended voltage
range and are ideal to power portable applications
like mobile phones and other portable equipment.
The TPS6124x boost converter is based on a quasi- constant on-time valley current mode control scheme.
The TPS6124x presents a high impedance at the
VOUT pin when shut down. This allows for use in applications that require the regulated output bus to
be driven by another supply while the TPS6124x is
shut down.
During light loads the device will automatically pulse
skip allowing maximum efficiency at lowest quiescent
currents. In the shutdown mode, the current
consumption is reduced to less than 1 μA.
TPS6124x allows the use of small inductors and
capacitors to achieve a small solution size. During
shutdown, the load is completely disconnected from
the battery. The TPS6124x is available in a 6-pin DSBGA and 2-mm × 2-mm WSON package.
