SLVS776B – JANUARY 2009 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2014
TPS6122x Low Input Voltage, 0.7V Boost Converter With 5.5μA Quiescent Current
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS6122x family devices provide a power-supply
solution for products powered by either a single-cell,
two-cell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, or onecell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Possible output
currents depend on the input-to-output voltage ratio.
The boost converter is based on a hysteretic
controller topology using synchronous rectification to
obtain maximum efficiency at minimal quiescent
currents. The output voltage of the adjustable version
can be programmed by an external resistor divider, or
is set internally to a fixed output voltage. The
converter can be switched off by a featured enable
pin. While being switched off, battery drain is
minimized. The device is offered in a 6-pin SC-70
package (DCK) measuring 2 mm x 2 mm to enable
small circuit layout size.

10.3 Feature Description
10.3.1
Controller Circuit
The device is controlled by a hysteretic current mode controller. This controller regulates the output voltage by
keeping the inductor ripple current constant in the range of 200 mA and adjusting the offset of this inductor
current depending on the output load. If the required average input current is lower than the average inductor
current defined by this constant ripple current, the inductor current becomes discontinuous to keep the efficiency
high under low-load conditions.

Figure 25. Hysteretic Current Operation
The output voltage VOUT is monitored via the feedback network which is connected to the voltage error amplifier.
To regulate the output voltage, the voltage error amplifier compares this feedback voltage to the internal voltage
reference and adjusts the required offset of the inductor current accordingly. In fixed output voltage devices, an
internal feedback network is used to program the output voltage. In adjustable versions an external resistor
divider is required.
The self-oscillating hysteretic current mode architecture is inherently stable and allows fast response to load
variations. This architecture also allows using a wide range of inductor and capacitor values.

Feature Description (continued)
10.3.2 Device Enable And Shutdown Mode
The device is enabled when EN is driven high, and shut down when EN is low. During shutdown, the converter
stops switching and all internal control circuitry is turned off. During shutdown, the input voltage is connected to
the output through the back-gate diode of the rectifying MOSFET. This means that voltage is always present at
the output, which can be as high as the input voltage or lower depending on the load.
10.3.3 Startup
After the EN pin is tied high, the device begins to operate. If the input voltage is not high enough to supply the
control circuit properly, a startup oscillator operates the switches. During this phase, the switching frequency is
controlled by the oscillator, and the maximum switch current is limited. When the device has built up the output
voltage to approximately 1.8V, high enough to supply the control circuit, the device switches to its normal
hysteretic current mode operation. The startup time depends on input voltage and load current.
10.3.4 Operation At Output Overload
If, in normal boost operation, the inductor current reaches the internal switch current limit threshold, the main
switch is turned off to stop further increase of the input current. In this case the output voltage will decrease
because the device cannot provide sufficient power to maintain the set output voltage.
If the output voltage drops below the input voltage, the backgate diode of the rectifying switch becomes forward
biased, and current starts to flow through it. This diode cannot be turned off, so the current finally is only limited
by the remaining DC resistances. As soon as the overload condition is removed, the converter resumes providing
the set output voltage.
10.3.5 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout function stops the operation of the converter if the input voltage drops below the typical
undervoltage lockout threshold. This function is implemented in order to prevent converter malfunction.
10.3.6 Overvoltage Protection
If, for any reason, the output voltage is not fed back properly to the input of the voltage amplifier, control of the
output voltage is lost. Therefore an overvoltage protection is implemented to avoid the output voltage exceeding
critical values for the device and possibly for the system it is supplying. For this protection, the TPS6122x output
voltage is also monitored internally. If it reaches the internally programmed threshold of 6.5 V, typically the
voltage amplifier regulates (limits) the output voltage to this value.
If the TPS6122x is used to drive LEDs, this feature protects the circuit if the LED fails.
10.3.7 Overtemperature Protection
The device has a built-in temperature sensor which monitors the internal IC junction temperature. If the
temperature exceeds the programmed threshold (see electrical characteristics table), the device stops operating.
As soon as the IC temperature has decreased below the programmed threshold, it starts operating again. To
prevent unstable operation close to the region of overtemperature threshold, a built-in hysteresis is implemented.

11 Applications 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.
11.1 Application Information
The TPS6122x family devices provide a power-supply solution for products powered by either a single-cell, twocell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, or one-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Use the following design
procedure to select component values for the TPS61220 device and the TPS61222 device. Alternatively, use the
SwitcherPro™ tool. This section presents a simplified discussion of the design process.

11.2.1.1 Design Requirements
• Single 5 V output at up to 60 mA
• Power source, two AA alkaline cells
• Greater than 90% conversion efficiency
11.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
11.2.1.2.1 Device Choice
The TPS61222 DC/DC converter is intended for systems powered by anything from a single cell through up to
three Alkaline, NiCd or NiMH cells with a total typical pin voltage between 0.7 V and 5.5 V. They can also be
used in systems powered by one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries with a typical voltage between 2.5 V and 4.2
V. Additionally, any other voltage source with a typical output voltage between 0.7 V and 5.5 V can be used with
the TPS61222.
11.2.1.2.2 Programming The Output Voltage
In the fixed-voltage version used for this example, the output voltage is set by an internal resistor divider. The FB
pin is used to sense the output voltage. To configure the device properly, connect the FB pin directly to VOUT as
shown in Figure 26.
11.2.1.2.3 Inductor Selection
To make sure that the device can operate, a suitable inductor must be connected between pin VIN and pin L.
Inductor values of 4.7 μH show good performance over the whole input and output voltage range.
Choosing other inductance values affects the switching frequency f proportional to 1/L as shown in Equation 1.

Choosing inductor values higher than 4.7 μH can improve efficiency due to reduced switching frequency and
therefore with reduced switching losses. Using inductor values below 2.2 μH is not recommended.
Having selected an inductance value, the peak current for the inductor in steady-state operation can be
calculated. Equation 2 gives the peak-current estimate.

Equation 2 provides a suitable inductor current rating. However, remember that load transients and error
conditions may cause higher inductor currents.
Equation 3 provides an easy way to estimate whether the device will work in continuous or discontinuous
operation depending on the operating points. As long as the Equation 3 is true, continuous operation is typically
established. If Equation 3 becomes false, discontinous operation is typically established.

11.2.1.2.4 Capacitor Selection
11.2.1.2.4.1
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor value of at least 10 μF 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.
11.2.1.2.4.2
Output Capacitor
For the output capacitor C2, small ceramic capacitors are recommended, placed 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 around 2.2μF
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.
A minimum capacitance value of 4.7 μF should be used, 10 μF is recommended. If the inductor value exceeds
4.7 μH, the value of the output capacitance value needs to be half the inductance value or higher for stability
reasons, see Equation 4.

The TPS6122x is not sensitive to the ESR in terms of stability. However, low ESR capacitors, such as ceramic
capacitors, are recommended anyway to minimize output voltage ripple. If heavy load changes are expected,
increase the output capacitor value to avoid output voltage drops during fast load transients.

11.2.2.2.2 Programming The Output Voltage
In the adjustable output versions, an external resistor divider is used to adjust the output voltage. The resistor
divider must be connected between VOUT, FB and GND as shown in Figure 28. When the output voltage is
regulated properly, the typical voltage value at the FB pin is 500 mV for the adjustable devices. The maximum
recommended value for the output voltage is 6.0 V. The current through the resistor 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 those two values, the recommended
value for R2 should be lower than 500 kΩ, in order to set the divider current to 1 μA or higher. The value of the
resistor connected between VOUT and FB, R1, depending on the needed output voltage (VOUT), can be
calculated using Equation 5:
æV
ö
R1 = R 2 x ç OUT - 1÷
è VFB
ø
(5)
For this example, if an output voltage of 4.2 V is needed, a 1.2-MΩ resistor is calculated for R1 when 160 kΩ is
selected for R2. This would yield an output voltage of 4.25 V, neglecting resistor tolerances.
11.2.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
See Inductor Selection for a discussion on inductor choice.
11.2.2.2.4 Capacitor Selection
The procedure for selecting capacitors is the same as for the fixed output voltage circuit. See Capacitor
Selection.

cells.

12 Power Supply Recommendations
12.1 Typical Power Sources
The high conversion efficiency of this device encourages the use of a wide range of battery types. Photovoltaic
cells and large capacitors ('supercapacitors') may also serve as power sources within the limits specified in
Recommended Operating Conditions.
12.2 Input Voltage Effects On Output Current and Efficiency
The TPS6122x devices have a wide input-voltage range, and deliver enough current to be applicable to many
portable applications. However, at lower extremes of input voltage, less output current is available, and efficiency
is somewhat less. Figure 1 - Figure 11 show the tradeoffs between input voltage, output current capacity and
conversion efficiency, and allow the designer to plan how far to discharge a battery array before system
shutdown occurs.
12.3 Behavior While Disabled
When the device is disabled, the output voltage follows the power-source voltage as shown in Figure 12.
12.4 Startup
See the description of the Startup sequence for more information.

13 Layout
13.1 Layout Guidelines
As 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
paths. The input and output capacitor, as well as the inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
The feedback divider in an application using the TPS61220 should be placed as close as possible to the control
ground pin of the IC. To route the ground path from the resistor divider, use short traces 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. Assure that the ground traces are connected close to the device GND
pin.

13.3 Thermal Considerations
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the powerdissipation limits of a given component.
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
• 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).
