The TLV61220 device provides 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 packaged in a 6-pin thin
SOT-23 package (DBV).

10.3Feature Description
10.3.1Controller 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. In case the required average input current is lower than the average
inductor current defined by this constant ripple the inductor current gets discontinuous to keep the efficiency high
at low load conditions.
Figure 13. Hysteretic Current Operation
The output voltage V
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. An external resistor divider needs to
be connected.
The self oscillating hysteretic current mode architecture is inherently stable and allows fast response to load
variations. It also allows using inductors and capacitors over a wide value range.
is monitored via the feedback network which is connected to the voltage error amplifier.
After the EN pin is tied high, the device starts to operate. In case the input voltage is not high enough to supply
the control circuit properly a startup oscillator starts to operate the switches. During this phase the switching
frequency is controlled by the oscillator and the maximum switch current is limited. As soon as the device has
built up the output voltage to about 1.8 V, high enough for supplying the control circuit, the device switches to its
normal hysteretic current mode operation. The startup time depends on input voltage and load current.
10.3.1.2 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 since the device can not 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 gets forward biased
and current starts 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.
10.3.1.3 Undervoltage Lockout
An implemented 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 malfunctioning
of the converter.
10.3.1.4 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 will not work anymore. 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
TLV61220 output voltage is also monitored internally. In case it reaches the internally programmed threshold of
6.5 V typically the voltage amplifier regulates the output voltage to this value.
If the TLV61220 is used to drive LEDs, this feature protects the circuit if the LED fails.
10.3.1.5 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.
10.4Device Functional Modes
10.4.1 Device Enable and Shutdown Mode
The device is enabled when EN is set high and shut down when EN is low. During shutdown, the converter stops
switching and all internal control circuitry is turned off. In this case the input voltage is connected to the output
through the back-gate diode of the rectifying MOSFET. This means that there always will be voltage at the output
which can be as high as the input voltage or lower depending on the load.
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.
11.1Application Information
The TLV61220 is intended for systems powered by a single cell battery to up to three Alkaline, NiCd or NiMH
cells with a typical terminal voltage between 0.7 V and 5.5 V. It 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 TLV61220.
11.2Typical Application

11.2.1 Design Requirements
In this example, TLV61220 is used to design a 3.3-V power supply with up to 50-mA output current capability.
The TLV61220 can be powered by a single-cell battery to up to three Alkaline, NiCd or NiMH cells with a typical
terminal voltage between 0.7 V and 5.5 V. It can also be used in systems powered by one-cell Li-Ion or LiPolymer batteries with a typical voltage between 2.5 V and 4.2 V. In this example, the input voltage range is from
2 V to 3 V for one-cell coin cell battery input design.

11.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Table 3. List of Components
An external resistor divider is used to adjust the output voltage. The resistor divider needs to be connected
between VOUT, FB and GND as shown in Figure 14. When the output voltage is regulated properly, the typical
voltage value at the FB pin is 500 mV. The maximum recommended value for the output voltage is 5.5 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 FB and GND, R2, is
typically 500 mV. Based on those two values, the recommended value for R2should 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 (V
), can be calculated using Equation 1:
OUT
(1)
As an example, if an output voltage of 3.3 V is needed, a 1-MΩ resistor is calculated for R1when for R2a 180-kΩ
has been selected.
11.2.2.2 Inductor Selection
To make sure that the TLV61220 can operate, a suitable inductor must be connected between pin VBAT and pin
SW. 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 2.
(2)
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 3 gives the peak current estimate.
(3)
For selecting the inductor this would be the suitable value for the current rating. It also needs to be taken into
account that load transients and error conditions may cause higher inductor currents.
Equation 4 helps to estimate whether the device will work in continuous or discontinuous operation depending on
the operating points. As long as the inequation is true, continuous operation is typically established. If the
inequation becomes false, discontinous operation is typically established.
(4)
The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used with TLV61220 converters:

Wurth ElektronikWE-TPC Typ S
At least a 10-μF input capacitor 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 VBAT and GND pins of
the IC is recommended.
11.2.2.3.2Output Capacitor
For the output capacitor C2, it is recommended to use small ceramic capacitors 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
can not be placed close to the IC, the use of a small ceramic capacitor with an 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 are 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 5.
(5)
The TLV61220 is not sensitive to the ESR in terms of stability. Using low ESR capacitors, such as ceramic
capacitors, is recommended anyway to minimize output voltage ripple. If heavy load changes are expected, the
output capacitor value should be increased to avoid output voltage drops during fast load transients.

The power supply can be single-cell, two-cell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, or one-cell Li-Ion or Lipolymer battery.
The input supply should be well regulated with the rating of TLV61220. If the input supply is located more than a
few inches from the device, 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.
13Layout
13.1Layout 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 should be placed as close as possible to the control ground pin of the IC. To lay out the
ground, it is recommended to 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.
13.2Layout Example
13.3Thermal 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

Characteristics Application Note (SZZA017) and the IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Note (SPRA953).
