DESCRIPTION
The TPS6109x devices provide a power supply
solution for products powered by either a one-cell
Li-Ion or Li-polymer, or a two-cell alkaline, NiCd or
NiMH battery and required supply currents up to or
higher than 1 A. The converter generates a stable
output voltage that is either adjusted by an external
resistor divider or fixed internally on the chip. It
provides high efficient power conversion and is
capable of delivering output currents up to 0.5 A at 5
V at a supply voltage down to 1.8 V. The im-
plemented boost converter is based on a fixed
frequency, pulse-width- modulation (PWM) controller
using a synchronous rectifier to obtain maximum
efficiency. Boost switch and rectifier switch are con-
nected internally to provide the lowest leakage induct-
ance and best EMI behavior possible. The maximum
peak current in the boost switch is limited to a value
of 2500 mA.

SYNCHRONOUS BOOST CONVERTER
WITH 2A SWITCH
The converter can be disabled to minimize battery
drain. During shutdown, the load is completely dis-
connected from the battery. A low-EMI mode is
implemented to reduce ringing and, in effect, lower
radiated electromagnetic energy when the converter
enters the discontinuous conduction mode.
The output voltage can be programmed by an exter-
nal resistor divider or is fixed internally on the chip.
The device is packaged in a 16-pin QFN 4 x 4 mm
(16 RSA) package.
