Description of the EVM
The Texas Instruments TPS60210 charge pump is a regulated voltage doubler. The TPS60210 delivers 3.3-V output voltage (VO) from a 1.8-V to 3.6-V
input voltage (VI). The output current (IO) is 100 mA minimum, for an input voltage (V
I
) of 2.0 V or higher.
For output currents below 2 mA, the device can be operated in the snooze
mode (SNOOZE
= 0). This is an operating mode, where the quiescent current
is drastically reduced. In this mode, V
O
is regulated to 3.3 V ±6%. The low
quiescent current is achieved by disabling most of the internal circuitry as long
as VO is high enough. When VO decreases, the device operates for a short period of time in normal mode, to boost VO. The internal circuitry is then disabled
again. This reduces the quiescent current to a typical value of only 2 µA. If the
device is programmed to operate in snooze mode and the I
O
increases above
2 mA, the device enters the startup mode to increase VO.
Additionally, the TPS60210 has a low battery detector (LBI input and LBO
output). The trip voltage of the LBI input is typically 1.18 V . The TPS60210 can
be programmed with an external resistive divider to the specific trip voltage for
the application. On the EVM, the resistive divider on the LBI input is connected
to VI and the trip voltage is set to 2.0 V, typically. The LBO output is an
open-drain output and is in a high-impedance state as long as the voltage at
LBI is above the trip voltage. A 1-MΩ pullup resistor to V
O
is added on the EVM
to get a defined high signal as long as the voltage at LBI is above the trip
voltage.
For simple evaluation, a 1-MΩ resistor between VI and the SNOOZE pin is
added to operate the TPS60210 in normal mode.
A minimum of four external capacitors for a push-pull voltage doubler charge
pump are required. The EVM is built with these four capacitors. For evaluation,
it is possible to use other capacitor values like those given in the application
section of the TPS6021x data sheet (literature number SL VS296). The capacitors on the EVM are ceramic capacitors. The ESR of all other capacitor types
is too high to get good performance.
Chapter 1

The TPS60210 EVMs can also be used to evaluate the other devices of this
family (TPS6021 1, TPS60212, and TPS60213). For that purpose, replace the
integrated circuit. For the TPS60211 and TPS60213, the LBI resistors should
be removed and LBI connected to GND. The LBO pullup resistor works as
power good (PG) pullup, and the LBO pad gives the PG signal.

Table 2–1 contains the bill of material of the TPS60210EVM-167. The following paragraph describes the use of some of the parts.
R1 and R2 adjust the input voltage of the LBI input for low battery detection.
The resistive divider on the EVM is connected to V
I
. For the given resistor values, the LBO signal will go active (low) if VI is below 2.0 V. The divided input
voltage is compared to the internal reference voltage of 1.18 V. C5 works as
a filter capacitor for the LBI input voltage. This capacitor is recommended if line
or load transients occur. At the switching point of the LBI comparator, noise
may trigger the LBI, and this may lead to oscillations at the LBO pin. The LBO
output is an open-drain output and requires an external pullup resistor (R3).
For R3, a value between 100 kΩ and 1 MΩ is recommended. If your application
does not require low battery detection, these four parts can be omitted. In this
case, connect the LBI-pin to ground.

Schematic of the EVM
Physical Data and Setup of the EVM
R4 is the pullup resistor for the SNOOZE pin, therefore, the device operates
in normal mode. Applying a logic low level to the SNOOZE input, programs the
device in snooze mode.
Note:
When the device is in snooze mode, be aware that the LBI and SNOOZE resistors (R1, R2, and R4) draw more current than the device itself. For measuring the low quiescent current in this mode, these three resistors must be
removed.
For operation with the internal oscillator, connect the SNOOZE signal to either
the input voltage (like on the EVM) or a logic high level respectively , or to a lowlevel for operation in snooze mode. The device can also be synchronized with
an external oscillator signal. For synchronization to an external oscillator signal, the SNOOZE
pin must be connected to this signal. When the internal logic
detects an external clock signal, the device is synchronized to this clock and
the internal clock is turned off. For the appropriate frequency and levels,
please refer to the TPS6021x data sheet (literature number SLVS296).

Table 2–1 contains the values and description of the five capacitors and the
four resistors that are placed on the EVM.
The EVM is built to fit into a 14-pin dual in-line socket. However, not all 14 pins
are used. Only pins 1 to 3, 7, 8, and 12 to 14 of a dual in-line socket are used.
Table 2–2 shows the correlation between the dual in-line pin number and the
connected signal of the device on the board.

Evaluation Information
2.4 Evaluation Information
Due to the pullup resistor R4 at SNOOZE of the EVM, the TPS60210 is
enabled by default. T o operate the device in snooze mode, drive the SNOOZE
pin of the EVM to ground.
By connecting a clock signal between 400 kHz and 800 kHz to the SNOOZE
pin of the board, the device can be synchronized to an external clock. To get
the proper duty cycle and levels, please refer to the TPS6021x data sheet
(literature number SLVS296). In synchronization, snooze mode can not be
used.
For testing the functionality of the low battery detector (transition on LBO),
reduce the input voltage below 2 V and a transition from high-to-low at LBO
will occur. Trip voltages other than 2 V, can be adjusted by replacing the LBI
resistive divider with the appropriate resistors. For the correct resistor values
for different trip voltages, please refer to the TPS6021x data sheet (literature
number SLVS296).
It is also possible to evaluate several different capacitors on the EVM. A
capacitor selection list with the measured output ripple voltage can be found
in the TPS6021x data sheet (literature number SLVS296).
Note:
Do not use the device for long periods of time at the maximum input voltage,
maximum output current, and maximum ambient temperature. The
dissipated power could heat up the device and may destroy it. This is not a
problem in battery driven systems. For more details refer to the application
part in the TPS6021x data sheet (literature number SLVS296).
