TPS6126x 0.8-V Input Synchronous Boost Converters with 100-mA Output Current
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
The TPS6126x devices provide a power supply
solution for products powered by either single or dual
cell alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries. 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.

Package
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,
the average output current can be programmed as
well. The converter then regulates 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 WSON
(DRV) package.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS6126x 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 TPS6126x is based on a current mode topology. The inductor
current is regulated by a fast current regulator loop which is controlled by either a voltage control loop or a
reference current. The controller also uses input and output voltage feedforward. Changes of the input and
output voltages are monitored and immediately change the duty cycle in the modulator to achieve a fast
response to those errors. In addition, the average output current can be programmed as well. An external resistor
is used to program the average output current.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Controller Circuit
The controlling circuit of the device is based on a current mode topology. The inductor current is regulated by a
fast current regulator loop which is controlled by either a voltage control loop or a reference current. The
controller also uses input and output voltage feedforward. Changes of the input and output voltages are
monitored and immediately 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. For the adjustable output voltage version, a
resistive voltage divider must be connected to that pin. For the fixed output voltage version, the FB pin 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 is 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 the RI pin 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. Now, maximum input power is controlled as well as the maximum peak current to achieve safe and
stable operation under all possible conditions. Smaller inductors with lower saturation current ratings can be
used, when lower average output currents are programmed.
8.3.2 Synchronous Boost Operation
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 during startup
conditions when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage. During startup, the rectifying switch works in
a linear mode until the output voltage is near the input voltage. Once in regulation, operating with the input
voltage greater than the output voltage may cause either the output voltage or current to exceed its regulation
value. Although this operating point is not recommended, the device will not be damaged by this as long as
absolute maximum ratings are not violated.

Feature Description (continued)
As opposed to a standard boost converter, the implemented 3 switch topology enables the output to be
disconnected from the input during device shutdown when disabled. Current does not flow from output to input or
from input to output.
8.3.3 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 becomes 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, device
control is turned on again to handle the new load condition. The boundary between power save mode and PWM
mode is when the inductor current becomes discontinuous.
Accurate average output current regulation requires continuous inductor current. This means that there is no
power save mode during current regulation.
8.3.4 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 output voltage can drop below input voltage during shutdown.
8.3.5 Softstart and Short Circuit Protection
During startup of the converter, duty cycle and peak current are limited in order to avoid high peak currents
flowing from the input. 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, as the output voltage increases.
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 startup, 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. Boost conversion is nonsynchronous 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
linearly with the output voltage down to zero.
The devices can monotonically start into a pre-bias on the output.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout function prevents device startup if the supply voltage on VIN is lower than the
undervoltage lockout threshold defined in the Electrical Characteristics. 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.
8.4.2 Output Overvoltage Protection
If, for any reason, the output voltage of the device (as measured at the VOUT pin) exceeds its maximum
recommended value, the device stops operating. It continues operating as soon as the output voltage has
dropped below this threshold.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Programming the Output Voltage
Within the TPS6126x family, there are fixed and adjustable output voltage versions available. 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. For the adjustable output voltage version, an external resistor divider is
used to adjust the output voltage. The resistor divider must be connected between the VOUT, FB, and GND pins.
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 the FB and GND pins, 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:

8.5.2 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 the RI and GND pins. 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.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 1.2 V (Vin falling UVLO is
0.8 V) and 4.0 V with a maximum output current of 100 mA. The devices operate in PWM mode for medium to
heavy load conditions and in power save mode at light load currents. In PWM mode the TPS61260 converter
operates with the nominal switching frequency of 2.5 MHz which provides a controlled frequency variation over
the input voltage range. As the load current decreases, the converter enters power save mode, reducing the
switching frequency and minimizing the IC quiescent current to achieve high efficiency over the entire load
current range. The WEBENCH software uses an iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive
database of components when generating a design.

In Equation 3, the minimum inductance value required for accurate average output current regulation is
calculated. 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 have lower light load efficiency. The
recommended range for the inductor value is from 2.2 μH up to 22 μH. The current rating required for this
inductor is ILIM and depends on the programmed output current IOUT. Please refer to the Electrical
Characteristics. Table 3 contains a list of inductors recommended for the TPS6126x:

9.2.1.2.2 Capacitor Selection
9.2.1.2.2.1
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. An X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the
VIN and GND pins of the IC is recommended.
9.2.1.2.2.2
Output Capacitor
For the output capacitor, use of a small X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor 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 cannot 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 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:

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 1.2 V and 4.0 V. This input supply
must be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the converter, additional bulk
capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic or tantalum capacitor
with a value of 47 μF is a typical choice.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
For all switching power supplies, 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. See Figure 25 for the recommended layout.

11.3 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 by soldering the Exposed Thermal Pad
• 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 of Linear and Logic Packages Using JEDEC PCB Designs Application Report (SZZA017) and the
Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Report (SPRA953).
