The TPS6128xA device provides a power supply solution for products powered by either by a Li-Ion, Nickel-Rich, Silicon Anode, Li-Ion or LiFePO4 battery. The voltage range is optimized for single-cell portable applications like in smart-phones or tablet PCs.
●Used as a high-power pre-regulator, the TPS6128xA extends the battery run-time and overcomes input current- and voltage limitations of the powered system.
●While in shutdown, the TPS6128xA operates in a true pass-through mode with only 3µA quiescent consumption for longest battery shelf life.
●During operation, when the battery is at a good state-of-charge, a low-ohmic, high-efficient integrated pass-through path connects the battery to the powered system.
●If the battery gets to a lower state of charge and its voltage becomes lower than the desired minimum system voltage, the device seamlessly transits into boost mode to uses the full battery capacity.
●TPS6128xA device supports more than 4A pulsed load current even from a deeply discharged battery. In this mode of operation, the TPS6128xA enables the utilization of the full battery capacity: A high battery-cut-off voltage originated by powered components with a high minimum input voltage is overcome; new battery chemistries can be fully discharged; high current pulses forcing the system into shutdown are buffered by the device seamlessly transitioning between boost and by-pass mode back and forth.
●This has significant impact on the battery on-time and translates into either a longer use-time and better user-experience at an equal battery capacity or into reduced battery costs at similar use-times.
●The TPS6128xA offers a small solution size (< 20mm2) due to minimum amount of external components, enabling the use of small inductors and input capacitors, available as a 16-pin chip-scale package (CSP).
●The TPS6128xA operates in synchronous, 2.3MHz boost mode and enters power-save mode operation (PFM) at light load currents to maintain high efficiency over the entire load current range.
