Its unique advanced softstart makes it also suitable for products powered by high output impedance battery types, like coin cells. Output currents can go as high as 100 mA while using a single cell alkaline battery, and discharge it down to 0.8 V or lower. The boost converter is based on a quasi fixed frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller using synchronous rectification to obtain maximum efficiency. At low load currents, the converter enters Power Save Mode to ensure high efficiency over a wide load current range. The maximum average current in the switches is limited to a programmable value which can go as high as 700 mA. The output voltage is programmable using an external resistor divider, or is fixed internally on the chip. In addition to that the average output current can be programmed as well. The converter will then regulate the programmed output voltage or the programmed output current which ever demands lower output power. The converter can be disabled to minimize battery drain. During shutdown, the load is disconnected from the battery. The device is packaged in a 6-pin SON PowerPAD™ package measuring 2 × 2 mm (DRV).

The inductor current is regulated by a fast current regulator loop which is controlled by a voltage control loop or a reference current. The controller also uses input and output voltage feedforward. Changes of input and output voltage are monitored and immediately can change the duty cycle in the modulator to achieve a fast response to those errors. The voltage error amplifier gets its feedback input from the FB pin. At adjustable output voltages, a resistive voltage divider must be connected to that pin. At fixed output voltages, FB must be connected to the output voltage to directly sense the voltage. Fixed output voltage versions use a trimmed internal resistive divider. The feedback voltage will be compared with the internal reference voltage to generate a stable and accurate output voltage. The reference current for average output current control is programmed with a resistor connected between RI and GND. The programming of the average output current also affects the maximum switch current in the main switch which basically is the input current. The lower the average output current is programmed, the lower the maximum input current will be. Now, maximum input power can be controlled as well as the maximum peak current to achieve a safe and stable operation under all possible conditions. Since switch current and inductor current have the same level smaller inductors can be used when lower average output currents are programmed. Synchronous Boost Operation and Down Conversion Mode The device uses 3 internal N-channel MOSFETs to maintain synchronous power conversion at all possible operating conditions. This enables the device to keep high efficiency over a wide input voltage and output power range. Using 2 rectifying switches also enables the device to control the output voltage and current at conditions when the input voltage is higher than the actual output voltage. This for example happens at output short circuit conditions, during startup or if the supply voltage is just higher than the regulated output voltage. In this down conversion mode the rectifying switch works in a linear mode. In difference to a standard boost converter technology the implemented 3 switch topology enables the output to be disconnected from the input during device shutdown. Power Save Mode At normal load conditions with continuous inductor current the device operates at a quasi fixed frequency. If the load gets lower the inductor current decreases and gets discontinuous. If this happens and the load is further decreased the device lowers the switching frequency and turns off parts of the control to minimize internal power consumption. The output voltage is controlled by a low power comparator at a level about 1% higher than the nominal output voltage. If the output voltage reaches the nominal value or drops below it, the device control is turned on again to handle the new load condition. Accurate average output current regulation requires continuous inductor current. This means that there will be no power save mode during current regulation. Dynamic Current Limit To protect the device and the application the inductor current is limited internally on the IC. At nominal operating conditions, this current limit is constant at the programmed value. If the supply voltage at VIN drops to values close to the undervoltage lockout threshold, the device stops operating. This can happen when the input power source becomes weak. Increasing output impedance, when the batteries are almost discharged, or an additional heavy pulse load is connected to the battery can cause such VIN voltage drops. If the voltage at VIN recovers the device starts operating again. This way the average input current is reduced if the output impedance of the power source is causing the voltage drop, allowing the system to stay in operation at a decreased output power. Device Enable The device is put into operation when EN is set high. It is put into a shutdown mode when EN is set to GND. In shutdown mode, the regulator stops switching, all internal control circuitry is switched off, and the load is disconnected from the input. This means that the output voltage can drop below the input voltage during shutdown. During start-up of the converter, the duty cycle and the peak current are limited in order to avoid high peak currents flowing from the input. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated TPS61260, TPS61261 www.ti.com SLVSA99 – MAY 2011 Softstart and Short Circuit Protection After being enabled, the device starts operating. Until the output voltage reaches about 0.4 V, the average output current ramps up from zero to the programmed value, following the output voltage increasing. As soon as the output current has reached the programmed value it stays regulated at that value until the load conditions demand less current. This typically happens when the output capacitor is charged and the output voltage is regulated. During this start up the device can seamlessly change modes of operation. When the input voltage is higher than the output voltage the device operates in a linear mode using the rectifying switches for control. If the input voltage is lower than the output voltage it operates in a standard boost conversion mode. The boost conversion is non synchronous when the output voltage is below approximately 1.8 V and it is synchronous if the output voltage is higher than approximately 1.8 V. At short circuit conditions at the output the output current is limited to the programmed average current. If the short at the output causes the output voltage to drop below 0.4 V the average current decreases approximately linearily with the output voltage down to zero. Undervoltage Lockout An undervoltage lockout function prevents device start-up if the supply voltage on VIN is lower than the undervoltage lockout threshold defined in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table. When in operation, the device automatically shuts down the power stage if the voltage on VIN drops below the undervoltage lockout threshold. The device automatically restarts if the input voltage recovers to the minimum operating input voltage. Output Overvoltage Protection If for any reason the output voltage of the device exceeds its maximum recommended value the device stops operating. It will continue operting as soon as the output voltage has dropped below this threshold.

To properly configure the fixed output voltage devices, the FB pin is used to sense the output voltage. This means that it must be connected directly to VOUT. At the adjustable output voltage versions, an external resistor divider is used to adjust the output voltage. The resistor divider must be connected between VOUT, FB and GND. When the output voltage is regulated properly, the typical value of the voltage at the FB pin is 500 mV. The maximum recommended value for the output voltage is 4.0 V. The current through the resistive divider should be about 100 times greater than the current into the FB pin. The typical current into the FB pin is 0.01 μA, and the voltage across the resistor between FB and GND, R2, is typically 500 mV. Based on these two values, the recommended value for R2 should be lower than 500 kΩ, in order to set the divider current at 1 μA or higher. It is also recommended to keep the total value for the resistor divider, R1 + R2, in the range of 1 MΩ. From that, the value of the resistor connected between VOUT and FB, R1, depending on the needed output voltage (VOUT), can be calculated using Equation 1: æV ö R1 = R2 × çç OUT - 1÷÷ è VFB ø (1) L1 VOUT L VOUT R1 VIN VIN C1 C2 FB R2 EN GND RI R3 TPS61260 Figure 19. Typical Application Circuit for Adjustable Output Voltage Option PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT CURRENT The devices of the TPS6126x family also support average output current regulation. An external resistor is used to program the average output current. The resistor must be connected between RI and GND. When the average output current is regulated properly, the typical value of the voltage at the RI pin is 400 mV. The maximum recommended value for the regulated average output current is 100 mA. The value of the resistor R3 should be between 2 kΩ and 20 kΩ. It can be calculated, depending on the needed average output current (IOUT), using Equation 2: R3 = 200 V IOUT (2) Accurate regulation of the average output current only is possible if the inductor current is continuous. Please check the INDUCTOR SELECTION section to calculate the required parameters for selecting an appropriate inductor. INDUCTOR SELECTION To properly configure the TPS6126x devices, an inductor must be connected between the supply voltage and pin L. To estimate the minimum inductance value for accurate average output current regulation, Equation 3 can be used.

VIN is the input voltage. For typical applications which require voltage regulation the recommended inductor value is 4.7 μH. Applications with higher inductance values will have lower light load efficiency. The recommended range for the inductor value goes from 2.2 μH up to 22 μH. The current rating required for this inductor depends on the programmed output current IOUT. Please refer to the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table for more details. Table 2. List of Inductors VENDOR INDUCTOR SERIES muRata LQM2HP_G0 Toko DFE252012C Hitachi Metals KSLI-252010AG CAPACITOR SELECTION Input Capacitor At least a 4.7 μF input capacitor is recommended to improve transient behavior of the regulator and EMI behavior of the total power supply circuit. A ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins of the IC is recommended. Output Capacitor For the output capacitor, use of a small ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the VOUT and GND pins of the IC is recommended. If, for any reason, the application requires the use of large capacitors which can not be placed close to the IC, use a smaller ceramic capacitor in parallel to the large capacitor. The small capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VOUT and GND pins of the IC. The output capacitor should be at least 2.2 μF. There are no additional requirements regarding minimum ESR. There is also no theoretical upper limit for the output capacitance value. The device has been tested with capacitors up to 100 μF. In general larger capacitors will cause lower output voltage ripple as well as lower output voltage drop during load transients. To improve control performance especially when using high output capacitance values a feedforward capacitor in parallel to R1 is recommended. The value should be in the range of the value calculated in Equation 4 C ff = 0.3 × Ω × C2 R2 (4) LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS For all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show stability problems as well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the power ground tracks. The input capacitor, output capacitor, and the inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC. Use a common ground node for power ground and a different one for control ground to minimize the effects of ground noise. Connect these ground nodes at any place close to the ground pin of the IC. The feedback divider should be placed as close as possible to the control ground connection. To lay out the control ground, short traces are recommended as well, separated from the power ground traces. This avoids ground shift problems, which can occur due to superimposition of power ground current and control ground current.

Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below. • Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design • Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB by soldering the PowerPAD™ • Introducing airflow in the system For more details on how to use the thermal parameters in the dissipation ratings table please check the Thermal Characteristics Application Note (SZZA017) and the IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Note (SPRA953). 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 4-Jun-2011 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing Pins Package Qty Eco Plan (2) Lead/ Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (3) TPS61260DRVR ACTIVE SON DRV 6 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPS61260DRVT ACTIVE SON DRV 6 250 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPS61261DRVR ACTIVE SON DRV 6 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPS61261DRVT ACTIVE SON DRV 6 250 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR Samples (Requires Login) (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined. Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above. Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material) (3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
