TPS6104x Low-Power DC-DC Boost Converter in SOT-23 and WSON Packages
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The TPS6104x is a high-frequency boost converter
dedicated for small to medium LCD bias supply and
white LED backlight supplies. The device is ideal to
generate output voltages up to 28 V from a dual-cell
NiMH/NiCd or a single-cell Li-Ion battery. The part can
also be used to generate standard 3.3-V or 5-V to
12-V power conversions.

LCD Bias Supply
White-LED Supply for LCD Backlights
Digital Still Camera
PDAs, Organizers, and Handheld PCs
Cellular Phones
Internet Audio Players
Standard 3.3-V or 5-V to 12-V Conversion
The TPS6104x operates with a switching frequency
up to 1 MHz. This frequency allows the use of
small external components using ceramic as well
as tantalum output capacitors. Together with the
thin WSON package, the TPS6104x gives a very
small overall solution size. The TPS61040 device
has an internal 400-mA switch current limit, while the
TPS61041 device has a 250-mA switch current limit,
offering lower output voltage ripple and allows the
use of a smaller form factor inductor for lower power
applications. The low quiescent current (typically 28
μA) together with an optimized control scheme, allows
device operation at very high efficiencies over the
entire load current range.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS6104x is a high-frequency boost converter dedicated for small to medium LCD bias supply and white
LED backlight supplies. The device is ideal to generate output voltages up to 28 V from a dual-cell NiMH/NiCd or
a single cell device Li-Ion battery.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Peak Current Control
The internal switch turns on until the inductor current reaches the typical dc current limit (ILIM) of 400 mA
(TPS61040) or 250 mA (TPS61041). Due to the internal propagation delay of typical 100 ns, the actual current
exceeds the dc current limit threshold by a small amount. The typical peak current limit can be calculated:
V
IN
I
× 100 ns
+
peak(typ) = LIM
L
V
I
400 mA + IN × 100 ns for the TPS61040-Q1
=
peak(typ)
L
V
I
250 mA + IN × 100 ns for the TPS61041-Q1
peak(typ) =
L
I
(1)
The higher the input voltage and the lower the inductor value, the greater the peak.
By selecting the TPS6104x, it is possible to tailor the design to the specific application current limit requirements.
A lower current limit supports applications requiring lower output power and allows the use of an inductor with a
lower current rating and a smaller form factor. A lower current limit usually has a lower output voltage ripple as
well.

SLVS413K – OCTOBER 2002 – REVISED JULY 2022
7.3.2 Soft Start
All inductive step-up converters exhibit high inrush current during start-up if no special precaution is made. This
can cause voltage drops at the input rail during start up and may result in an unwanted or early system shut
down.
The TPS6104x limits this inrush current by increasing the current limit in two steps starting from
cycles to
I LIM
2
I LIM
4
for 256
for the next 256 cycles, and then full current limit (see Figure 8-4).
7.3.3 Enable
Pulling the enable (EN) to ground shuts down the device reducing the shutdown current to 1 μA (typical).
Because there is a conductive path from the input to the output through the inductor and Schottky diode, the
output voltage is equal to the input voltage during shutdown. The enable pin needs to be terminated and should
not be left floating. Using a small external transistor disconnects the input from the output during shutdown as
shown in Figure 8-6.
7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout prevents misoperation of the device at input voltages below typical 1.5 V. When the
input voltage is below the undervoltage threshold, the main switch is turned off.
7.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown is implemented and turns off the internal MOSFETs when the typical junction
temperature of 168°C is exceeded. The thermal shutdown has a hysteresis of typically 25°C. This data is based
on statistical means and is not tested during the regular mass production of the IC.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Operation
The TPS6104x operates with an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 6 V and can generate output voltages up to 28
V. The device operates in a pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) scheme with constant peak current control. This
control scheme maintains high efficiency over the entire load current range, and with a switching frequency up to
1 MHz, the device enables the use of very small external components.
The converter monitors the output voltage, and as soon as the feedback voltage falls below the reference
voltage of typically 1.233 V, the internal switch turns on and the current ramps up. The switch turns off as
soon as the inductor current reaches the internally set peak current of typically 400 mA (TPS61040) or 250 mA
(TPS61041). See Peak Current Control for more information. The second criteria that turns off the switch is the
maximum on-time of 6 μs (typical). This is just to limit the maximum on-time of the converter to cover for extreme
conditions. As the switch is turned off the external Schottky diode is forward biased delivering the current to the
output. The switch remains off for a minimum of 400 ns (typical), or until the feedback voltage drops below the
reference voltage again. Using this PFM peak current control scheme the converter operates in discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM) where the switching frequency depends on the output current, which results in very
high efficiency over the entire load current range. This regulation scheme is inherently stable, allowing a wider
selection range for the inductor and output capacitor.

8 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS6104x is designed for output voltages up to 28 V with an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 6 V and
a switch peak current limit of 400 mA (250 mA for the TPS61041). The device operates in a pulse-frequencymodulation (PFM) scheme with constant peak current control. This control scheme maintains high efficiency over
the entire load current range, and with a switching frequency up to 1 MHz, the device enables the use of very
small external components. The following section provides a step-by-step design approach for configuring the
TPS61040 as a voltage regulating boost converter for LCD bias power supply, as shown in Figure 8-1.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Inductor Selection, Maximum Load Current
Because the PFM peak current control scheme is inherently stable, the inductor value does not affect the
stability of the regulator. The selection of the inductor together with the nominal load current, input and output
voltage of the application determines the switching frequency of the converter. Depending on the application,
inductor values from 2.2 μH to 47 μH are recommended. The maximum inductor value is determined by the
maximum on time of the switch, typically 6 μs. The peak current limit of 400 mA/250 mA (typically) should be
reached within this 6-μs period for proper operation.

SLVS413K – OCTOBER 2002 – REVISED JULY 2022
The inductor value determines the maximum switching frequency of the converter. Therefore, select the inductor
value that ensures the maximum switching frequency at the converter maximum load current is not exceeded.
The maximum switching frequency is calculated by the following formula:
fS(max) =
VIN(min) ´ (VOUT - VIN )
IP ´ L ´ VOUT
(2)
where
•
•
•
IP = Peak current as described in Peak Current Control
L = Selected inductor value
VIN(min) = The highest switching frequency occurs at the minimum input voltage
If the selected inductor value does not exceed the maximum switching frequency of the converter, the next step
is to calculate the switching frequency at the nominal load current using the following formula:
fS (Iload ) =
2 ´ Iload ´ (VOUT - VIN + Vd )
IP2 ´ L
(3)
where
•
•
•
•
IP = Peak current as described in Peak Current Control
L = Selected inductor value
Iload = Nominal load current
Vd = Rectifier diode forward voltage (typically 0.3 V)
A smaller inductor value gives a higher converter switching frequency, but lowers the efficiency.
The inductor value has less effect on the maximum available load current and is only of secondary order. The
best way to calculate the maximum available load current under certain operating conditions is to estimate the
expected converter efficiency at the maximum load current. This number can be taken out of the efficiency
graphs shown in Figure 6-1 through Figure 6-4. The maximum load current can then be estimated as follows:
I lo a d(m a x) = h
I P 2 ´ L ´ fS (m a x)
2 ´ ( V O U T - VIN )
(4)
where
•
•
•
•
IP = Peak current as described in Peak Current Control
L = Selected inductor value
fSmax = Maximum switching frequency as calculated previously
η = Expected converter efficiency. Typically 70% to 85%
The maximum load current of the converter is the current at the operation point where the converter starts to
enter the continuous conduction mode. Usually the converter should always operate in discontinuous conduction
mode.
Last, the selected inductor should have a saturation current that meets the maximum peak current of the
converter (as calculated in Peak Current Control). Use the maximum value for ILIM for this calculation.
Another important inductor parameter is the dc resistance. The lower the dc resistance, the higher the efficiency
of the converter. See Table 8-2 and the typical applications for the inductor selection.

8.2.2.2 Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is calculated as:
V
OUT

Ǔ
ǒ1 ) R1
R2
(5)
For battery-powered applications, a high-impedance voltage divider should be used with a typical value for R2 of
≤200 kΩ and a maximum value for R1 of 2.2 MΩ. Smaller values might be used to reduce the noise sensitivity of
the feedback pin.
A feedforward capacitor across the upper feedback resistor R1 is required to provide sufficient overdrive for the
error comparator. Without a feedforward capacitor, or one whose value is too small, the TPS6104x shows double
pulses or a pulse burst instead of single pulses at the switch node (SW), causing higher output voltage ripple. If
this higher output voltage ripple is acceptable, the feedforward capacitor can be left out.
The lower the switching frequency of the converter, the larger the feedforward capacitor value required. A good
starting point is to use a 10-pF feedforward capacitor. As a first estimation, the required value for the feedforward
capacitor at the operation point can also be calculated using the following formula:
C
FF
+

where
•
•
•
R1 = Upper resistor of voltage divider
fS = Switching frequency of the converter at the nominal load current (See Inductor Selection, Maximum Load
Current for calculating the switching frequency)
CFF = Choose a value that comes closest to the result of the calculation
The larger the feedforward capacitor the worse the line regulation of the device. Therefore, when concern for line
regulation is paramount, the selected feedforward capacitor should be as small as possible. See the following
section for more information about line and load regulation.
8.2.2.3 Line and Load Regulation
The line regulation of the TPS6104x depends on the voltage ripple on the feedback pin. Usually a 50 mV
peak-to-peak voltage ripple on the feedback pin FB gives good results.
Some applications require a very tight line regulation and can only allow a small change in output voltage over
a certain input voltage range. If no feedforward capacitor CFF is used across the upper resistor of the voltage
feedback divider, the device has the best line regulation. Without the feedforward capacitor the output voltage
ripple is higher because the TPS6104x shows output voltage bursts instead of single pulses on the switch pin
(SW), increasing the output voltage ripple. Increasing the output capacitor value reduces the output voltage
ripple.

SLVS413K – OCTOBER 2002 – REVISED JULY 2022
If a larger output capacitor value is not an option, a feed-forward capacitor CFF can be used as described in
the previous section. The use of a feedforward capacitor increases the amount of voltage ripple present on the
feedback pin (FB). The greater the voltage ripple on the feedback pin (≥50 mV), the worse the line regulation.
There are two ways to improve the line regulation further:
1. Use a smaller inductor value to increase the switching frequency which will lower the output voltage ripple,
as well as the voltage ripple on the feedback pin.
2. Add a small capacitor from the feedback pin (FB) to ground to reduce the voltage ripple on the feedback pin
down to 50 mV again. As a starting point, the same capacitor value as selected for the feedforward capacitor
CFF can be used.
8.2.2.4 Output Capacitor Selection
For best output voltage filtering, a low ESR output capacitor is recommended. Ceramic capacitors have a low
ESR value but tantalum capacitors can be used as well, depending on the application.
Assuming the converter does not show double pulses or pulse bursts on the switch node (SW), the output
voltage ripple can be calculated as:

8.2.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection
For good input voltage filtering, low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. A 4.7-μF ceramic input capacitor
is sufficient for most of the applications. For better input voltage filtering this value can be increased. See Table
8-3 and typical applications for input capacitor recommendations.
8.2.2.6 Diode Selection
To achieve high efficiency a Schottky diode should be used. The current rating of the diode should meet the
peak current rating of the converter as it is calculated in Peak Current Control. Use the maximum value for ILIM
for this calculation. See Table 8-4 and the typical applications for the selection of the Schottky diode.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 1.8 V and 6 V. The output current
of the input power supply must be rated according to the supply voltage, output voltage and output current of
TPS6104x.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Typical for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design; especially at high peak
currents and switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator might show noise problems
and duty cycle jitter.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the input pin for good input voltage filtering. The
inductor and diode should be placed as close as possible to the switch pin to minimize the noise coupling into
other circuits. Because the feedback pin and network is a high-impedance circuit, the feedback network should
be routed away from the inductor. The feedback pin and feedback network should be shielded with a ground
plane or trace to minimize noise coupling into this circuit.
Wide traces should be used for connections in bold as shown in Figure 10-1. A star ground connection or ground
plane minimizes ground shifts and noise.
