Powering the MSP430 from a High Voltage Input using the
TPS62122
Nick Tseng / Chris Glaser .............................................................................. Battery Power Applications
ABSTRACT
This reference design is presented to help designers and others who are using the MSP430 in a system
with an input voltage range from 3.6V to 15V, and who are concerned with maintaining high efficiency and
long battery life.
The TPS62122 is a highly efficient solution (up to 96% efficiency) capable of driving 75-mA loads. Its
11-µA quiescent current makes the TPS62122 an ideal choice in systems concerned over battery life.
Included in this document is a power solution for the MSP430. Power requirements, illustrated schematic,
operation waveforms and bill of materials are included.

Power Requirements
This reference design is for the MSP430 family of microcontroller devices and accounts for the voltage
and current requirements as described herein. The MSP430 devices require only a single 3.3-V input; no
sequencing is required. The operating input voltage for this reference design is 3.6V to 15V. This design is
optimized for efficiency, high and wide input voltage range, small size, and low component count.
The power requirements for each MSP430 family are listed below in Tables 3 through 6. The power given
is based on the amount of current the core consumes per megahertz (MHz). The Analog IMAX column
indicates the amount of current added if the additional functional blocks are used.

Further Applications
Multiple devices or subsystems can share the 3.3-V rail with the MSP430; this may require additional
output current (exceeding 75mA). The TPS621xx family contains alternative devices capable of driving up
to 3A. These devices also support higher input voltages, which better suits them for applications powered
by 4 cell lithium-ion batteries. All of the devices shown in Table 7 support 3-V to 17-V inputs and drive
output currents ≥ 500 mA. Table 7 lists the voltage, current, and packaging information for the various
TPS621xx devices.

MSP430 devices have integrated power management systems to regulate internal startup and shutdown
procedures. However, the power good and SGND pins available on the TPS62120 further increase the
robustness of the system on startup. When VOUT has reached regulation (3.3V in this example), the
TPS62120 signals the MSP430 through the PG (power good) pin. The TPS62120’s SGND pin provides
additional protection during the shutdown process. During shutdown mode, SGND provides a discharge
path from the output capacitor to ground. This feature prevents lingering output voltages from discharging
through the MSP430.

Conclusion
The TPS62122 efficiently powers an MSP430 in a system with input voltages ranging from 3.6V to 15V.
The 11-µA quiescent current reduces overall power consumption and prolongs battery life in the
application.
Similar devices within the TPS621xx family allow for even wider input voltage ranges and drive loads up to
3A. These higher current alternatives make room for additional subsystems to share the 3.3-V output
power rail.
