TPS61093-Q1 Low Input Boost Converter
With Integrated Power Diode and Input/Output Isolation
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS61093-Q1 is a 1.2-MHz, fixed-frequency
boost converter designed for high integration and
high reliability. The IC integrates a 20-V power
switch, input/output isolation switch, and power diode.
When the output current exceeds the overload limit,
the isolation switch of the IC opens up to disconnect
the output from the input. This disconnection protects
the IC and the input supply. The isolation switch also
disconnects the output from the input during shut
down to minimize leakage current. When the IC is
shutdown, the output capacitor is discharged to a low
voltage level by internal diodes. Other protection
features include 1.1-A peak overcurrent protection
(OCP) at each cycle, output overvoltage protection
(OVP), thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout
(UVLO).

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS61093-Q1 is a highly integrated boost regulator for up to 17-V output. In addition to the on-chip 1-A
PWM switch and power diode, this IC also integrates an output-side isolation switch as shown in the functional
block diagram. One common issue with conventional boost regulators is the conduction path from input to output
even when the PWM switch is turned off. It creates three problems, which are inrush current during start-up,
output leakage current during shutdown, and excessive over load current. In the TPS61093-Q1, the isolation
switch turns off under shutdown-mode and over load conditions, thereby opening the current path. However,
shorting the VO and OUT pins bypasses the isolation switch and enhances efficiency. Because the isolation
switch is on the output side, the IC's VIN pin and power stage input power (up to 10 V) can be separated.
The TPS61093-Q1 adopts current-mode control with constant pulse-width-modulation (PWM) frequency. The
switching frequency is fixed at 1.2-MHz typical. PWM operation turns on the PWM switch at the beginning of
each switching cycle. The input voltage is applied across the inductor and the inductor current ramps up. In this
mode, the output capacitor is discharged by the load current. When the inductor current hits the threshold set by
the error amplifier output, the PWM switch is turned off, and the power diode is forward-biased. The inductor
transfers its stored energy to replenish the output capacitor. This operation repeats in the next switching cycle.
The error amplifier compares the FB-pin voltage with an internal reference, and its output determines the duty
cycle of the PWM switching. This closed-loop system requires frequency compensation for stable operation. The
device has a built-in compensation circuit that can accommodate a wide range of input and output voltages. To
avoid the sub-harmonic oscillation intrinsic to current-mode control, the IC also integrates slope compensation,
which adds an artificial slope to the current ramp.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Shutdown And Load Discharge
When the EN pin is pulled low for 1-ms, the IC stops the PWM switch and turns off the isolation switch, providing
isolation between input and output. The internal current path consisting of the isolation switch’s body diode and
several parasitic diodes quickly discharges the output voltage to less than 3.3-V. Afterwards, the voltage is slowly
discharged to zero by the leakage current. This protects the IC and the external components from high voltage in
shutdown mode.
In shutdown mode, less than 5-μA of input current is consumed by the IC.
8.3.2 Over Load And Over Voltage Protection
If the over load current passing through the isolation switch is above the over load limit (IOL) for 3-μs (typ), the
TPS61093-Q1 is switched off until the fault is cleared and the EN pin toggles. The function only is triggered 52ms after the IC is enabled.
To prevent the PWM switch and the output capacitor from exceeding maximum voltage ratings, an over voltage
protection circuit turns off the boost switch as soon as the output voltage at the VO pin exceeds the OVP
threshold. Simultaneously, the IC opens the isolation switch. The regulator resumes PWM switching after the VO
pin voltage falls 0.6-V below the threshold.
8.3.3 Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
An under voltage lockout prevents improper operation of the device for input voltages below 1.55-V. When the
input voltage is below the under voltage threshold, the entire device, including the PWM and isolation switches,
remains off.
8.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the isolation and PWM switches when the typical junction temperature of
150°C is exceeded. The thermal shutdown has a hysteresis of 15°C, typical.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
The converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) as soon as the input current increases above half
the ripple current in the inductor, for lower load currents it switches into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). If
the load is further reduced, the part starts to skip pulses to maintain the output voltage.

9.2.1.2.2 Without Isolation FET
The efficiency of the TPS61093-Q1 can be improved by connecting the load to the VO pin instead of the OUT
pin. The power loss in the isolation FET is then negligible, as shown in Figure 8. The tradeoffs when bypassing
the isolation FET are:
• Leakage path between input and output causes the output to be a diode drop below the input voltage when
the IC is in shutdown
• No overload circuit protection
When the load is connected to the VO pin, the output capacitor on the VO pin should be above 1-μF.

9.2.1.2.3 Start Up
The TPS61093-Q1 turns on the isolation FET and PWM switch when the EN pin is pulled high. During the soft
start period, the R and C network on the SS pin is charged by an internal bias current of 5-μA (typ). The RC
network sets the reference voltage ramp up slope. Since the output voltage follows the reference voltage via the
FB pin, the output voltage rise time follows the SS pin voltage until the SS pin voltage reaches 0.5-V. The soft
start time is given by Equation 2.
0.5 V ´ C5
tSS =
5 mA
where
•
C5 is the capacitor connected to the SS pin
(2)
When the EN pin is pulled low to switch the IC off, the SS pin voltage is discharged to zero by the resistor R3.
The discharge period depends on the RC time constant. Note that if the SS pin voltage is not discharged to zero
before the IC is enabled again, the soft start circuit may not slow the output voltage startup and may not reduce
the startup inrush current.
9.2.1.2.4 Switch Duty Cycle
The maximum switch duty cycle (D) of the TPS61093-Q1 is 90% (minimum). The duty cycle of a boost converter
under continuous conduction mode (CCM) is given by:
Vout + 0.8 V - Vin
D=
Vout + 0.8 V
(3)
The duty cycle must be lower than the specification in the application; otherwise the output voltage cannot be
regulated.
The TPS61093-Q1 has a minimum ON pulse width once the PWM switch is turned on. As the output current
drops, the device enters discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). If the output current drops extremely low,
causing the ON time to be reduced to the minimum ON time, the TPS61093-Q1 enters pulse-skipping mode. In
this mode, the device keeps the power switch off for several switching cycles to keep the output voltage in
regulation. See Figure 14. The output current when the IC enters skipping mode is calculated with Equation 4.

9.2.1.2.5 Inductor Selection
Because the selection of the inductor affects steady state operation, transient behavior, and loop stability, the
inductor is the most important component in power regulator design. There are three important inductor
specifications, inductor value, saturation current, and dc resistance. Considering inductor value alone is not
enough.
The saturation current of the inductor should be higher than the peak switch current as calculated in Equation 5.

Normally, it is advisable to work with an inductor peak-to-peak current of less than 30% of the average inductor
current. A smaller ripple from a larger valued inductor reduces the magnetic hysteresis losses in the inductor and
EMI. But in the same way, load transient response time is increased. Also, the inductor value should not be
outside the 2.2-μH to 10-μH range in the recommended operating conditions table. Otherwise, the internal slope
compensation and loop compensation components are unable to maintain small signal control loop stability over
the entire load range. Table 3 lists the recommended inductor for the TPS61093-Q1.

9.2.1.2.6 Input And Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirements for output ripple and loop stability. This ripple
voltage is related to the capacitor’s capacitance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming a ceramic
capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated by:
D ´ Iout
Cout =
Fs ´ Vripple
where
•
Vripple = peak to peak output ripple
(6)
The ESR impact on the output ripple must be considered if tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are used.
Care must be taken when evaluating a ceramic capacitor’s derating under dc bias, aging, and ac signal. For
example, larger form factor capacitors (in 1206 size) have their self resonant frequencies in the range of the
switching frequency. So the effective capacitance is significantly lower. The dc bias can also significantly reduce
capacitance. A ceramic capacitor can lose as much as 50% of its capacitance at its rated voltage. Therefore,
always leave margin on the voltage rating to ensure adequate capacitance at the required output voltage.

A 4.7-μF (minimum) input capacitor is recommended. The output requires a capacitor in the range of 1 μF to 10
μF. The output capacitor affects the small signal control loop stability of the boost regulator. If the output
capacitor is below the range, the boost regulator can potentially become unstable.
The popular vendors for high value ceramic capacitors are:
• TDK (http://www.component.tdk.com/components.php)
• Murata (http://www.murata.com/cap/index.html)
9.2.1.2.7 Small Signal Stability
The TPS61093-Q1 integrates slope compensation and the RC compensation network for the internal error
amplifier. Most applications will be control loop stable if the recommended inductor and input/output capacitors
are used. For those few applications that require components outside the recommended values, the internal error
amplifier’s gain and phase are presented in Figure 9.
