The TPS61096A integrates a 30-V power switch and
a power diode. It can output up to 28 Volts. The
TPS61096A uses a PFM peak current control
scheme to obtain the highest efficiency over a wide
range of input and output load conditions. It only
consumes 1 µA quiescent current and can achieve up
to 70% efficiency under 10-µA load condition.
1 µA ultra-low IQ into VIN pin
Operating Input Voltage from 1.8 V to 5.5 V
Adjustable Output Voltage from 4.5 V to 28 V
Selectable Inductor Peak Current:
– 0.25 A and 0.5 A
Integrated Power Diode
Integrated Level Shifters
70% Efficiency at 10 µA load
12-Pin 3-mm x 2-mm WSON Package

With the WEBENCH® Power Designer
The TPS61096A can also support selective inductor
peak current. With 250-mA current limit, the
TPS61096A can reduce inductor ripple so that it
reduces external component size for light load
applications. With 500 mA current limit, the
TPS61096A can provide 30 mA output current for a
conversion from 3.3 V to 18 V.
The TPS61096A integrates two-channel low-power
level shifters to convert low level signals to output
voltage level signals for specific applications. It only
consumes 1-µA static current per channel and
ensures very low static and dynamic power
consumption across the entire output range.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS61096A operates with an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V and can generate output voltage up to 28
V. The device operates in a PFM peak current control scheme with selective peak current. This control scheme
consumes very low quiescent current so that it is able to achieve high efficiency at light load condition.
The TPS61096A integrates two-channel low power level shifters to convert low voltage logic signals to output
voltage for specific applications. It only consumes 1µA static current per channel and ensures very low static and
dynamic power consumption across the entire output range.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Controller Circuit
The TPS61096A operates in a PFM with peak current control scheme. The converter monitors the output voltage
through feedback pin. As soon as the feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage of typical 1 V, the
internal switch turns on and the inductor current ramps up. The switch turns off as soon as the inductor current
reaches the setting peak current limit. As the switch turns off, the internal power diode is forward biased and
delivers the inductor current to the output. After the inductor current drops to zero, the TPS61096A compares the
feedback voltage with the reference voltage. Once feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage, the switch
turns on again. In this way, the TPS61096A regulates the output voltage at the target value.
Using this PFM peak current control scheme the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
where the switching frequency depends on the output current. This regulation scheme is inherently stable,
allowing a wide selection range for the inductor and output capacitor.

7.3.2 Current Limit Selection
The TPS61096A supports selectable current limit thresholds. If the ILIM pin is pulled logic high voltage, a high
current limit (500 mA typ.) is selected; if the ILIM pin is connected to logic low voltage, a low current limit (250
mA typ.) is selected. With the low current limit threshold, the TPS61096A allows the use of small size external
components, especially the inductor, for light load applications.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Under-Voltage Lockout
An under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit stops the operation of the converter when the input voltage drops below
the typical UVLO threshold of 1.3 V. A hysteresis of 200 mV is added so that the device cannot be enabled again
until the input voltage goes up to 1.5 V. This function is implemented in order to prevent malfunctioning of the
device when the input voltage is between 1.3 V and 1.5 V.
7.4.2 Enable and Disable
When the input voltage is above maximal UVLO rising threshold of 1.7 V and the EN pin is pulled high, the
TPS61096A is enabled. When the EN pin is pulled low, the device stops switching, the TPS61096A goes into
shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, less than 1-µA input current is consumed.
7.4.3 Soft Start
The TPS61096A begins soft start when the EN pin is pulled high. An internal soft-start circuit increases the peak
inductor current limit to the final value within typical 1 ms. The soft-start function reduces the inrush current
during startup.
7.4.4 Level Shifters
The TPS61096A contains two level shifter channels. Each channel features a logic-level input stage and a high
voltage output stage powered from VOUT. The logic low input must be lower than 0.15 × Vin and logic high input
must be higher than 0.8 × Vin. The level shifters have 200-µA sourcing and sinking capability, and are capable of
generating up to 200 kHz pulses with up to 10pF capacitive load connected to the outputs.

7.4.5 Over-voltage Protection
The TPS61096A has internal output over-voltage protection (OVP) function. When the output voltage exceeds
the OVP threshold of 29.4 V, the device stops switching. Once the output voltage falls 0.8 V below the OVP
threshold, the device resumes operating again.
7.4.6 Thermal Shutdown
The TPS61096A goes into thermal shutdown once the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. When the junction
temperature drops below the thermal shutdown temperature threshold minus the hysteresis, typically 125°C, the
device starts operating again.

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. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS61096A is a high output voltage boost converter with ultra-low quiescent current. It is designed for
products powered by either two-cell alkaline, or one cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery, for which high efficiency
under light load condition is critical to achieve long battery life operation. It can also support selective inductor
peak current. With lower current limit, the TPS61096A can reduce inductor ripple so as to reduce external
components size for light load applications. With higher current limit, the TPS61096A can have higher output
current capability to meet more application requirements.
The TPS61096A integrates two-channel low-power level shifters to convert low level signals to output voltage
signals for specific applications.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
In this typical application, two channel 50-kHz pulse signals of 3.2 V amplitude are output from a controller, and
the signals' amplitude is required to be converted. High efficiency under light load is required.
The TPS61096A converts the 3.6-V input voltage to 12-V output voltage first, and this 12-V output voltage
provides bias to the integrated two level shifters. The level shifters outputs have no load so the boost converter
always works in light load condition.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following sections describe the selection process of the external components.
8.2.2.1 Custom Design With WEBENCH® Tools

Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
8.2.2.2 Programming the Output Voltage
By selecting the external resistor divider R1 and R2, as shown in Equation 1, the output voltage is programmed
to the desired value. When the output voltage is regulated, the typical VREF voltage at FB pin is 1.0 V.
R1 + R2
VOUT = VREF ´
(1)
R2
For the best accuracy, the current following through R2 should be 100 times larger than FB pin leakage current.
Changing R2 towards a lower value increases the robustness against noise injection while has little influence on
efficiency at light load, because TPS61096A only samples FB voltage when it is lower than the reference. 110kΩ and 10-kΩ resistors are selected for R1 and R2. High accuracy resistors are recommended for better output
voltage accuracy.
8.2.2.3 Maximum Output Current
The maximum output capability of the TPS61096A is determined by the input voltage to output voltage ratio and
the current limit of the boost converter. It can be estimated by Equation 2.
V ´ I ´ h
IOUT(max) = IN LIM
2 ´ VOUT

VIN is the input voltage

If an application requires high output current capability of the boost converter, ILIM pin should be tied to logic
high voltage to enable a higher current limit. Minimum input voltage, maximum boost output voltage and
minimum value of the selected current limit should be used as the worst case condition for the estimation.
In this example, the output load is only the bias current to the level shifters, so it will not reach the maximum
output current value.
8.2.2.4 Inductor Selection
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 1.0 μH to 47 μH are recommended.
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 does not exceed
the required maximum switching frequency. The maximum switching frequency is calculated by Equation 3:
V ´ (VOUT - h ´ VIN )
ƒ s(max) = IN
L ´ VOUT ´ ILIM
where
•
L is the selected inductor value
(3)
Choose the smaller one between VIN(max) and
entire input range.
h × VOUT
to calculate the highest switching frequency across the
2
The selected inductor should have a saturation current that is larger than the maximum peak current of the
converter. Use the minimal value of selected current limit for this calculation.
Another important inductor parameter is the dc resistance. The lower the dc resistance, the higher the efficiency
of the converter. Table 2 lists the recommended inductors for the TPS61096A.

8.2.2.5 Capacitor Selection
For best output and input voltage filtering, low ESR X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are recommended.
The input capacitor minimizes input voltage ripple, suppresses input voltage spikes and provides a stable system
rail for the device. An input capacitor value of 4.7 μF is normally 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.
The selection of output capacitor determines the output voltage ripple. The default hysteresis window of Vout is
30mV, but due to the 10-µs internal comparator delay, output ripple gets larger as load gets heavier. The output
ripple is calculated with Equation 4:
I OUT × t delay
VRIPPLE =
+ 30 mV
COUT

SLVSE09A – APRIL 2017 – REVISED APRIL 2017
For the output capacitor of VOUT pin, small ceramic capacitors are recommended. Place the output capacitor as
close as possible to the VOUT and GND pins of the IC. If, for any reason, the application requires the use of
large capacitors which cannot be placed close to the IC, the use of a small ceramic capacitor with a capacitance
value of 1 μF in parallel to the large one is recommended. This small capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to the VOUT and GND pins of the IC. The recommended typical output capacitor values are 10 μF
(nominal value).
When selecting capacitors, the derating effect of the ceramic capacitor under bias should be considered. Choose
the right nominal capacitance by checking the DC bias characteristics of the capacitor. In this example,
GRM188R6YA106MA73D, a 10-µF ceramic capacitor with high effective capacitance value at DC biased
condition, is selected for the VOUT rail. The performance is shown in the Application Curves section.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
TPS61096A is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 1.8 V to 5.5 V. The power supply
can be either two-cell alkaline, or one cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. The input supply must be well regulated
with the rating of TPS61096A. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the converter, a bulk
capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak current
and high switching frequency. 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
paths. The input and output capacitor, as well as inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
10.2 Layout Example
A large ground plane on the bottom layer connects the ground pins of the components on the top layer through
vias.
