DESCRIPTION
The TPS6101x devices are boost converters intended
for systems that are typically operated from a singleor dual-cell nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or alkaline battery.
The converter output voltage can be adjusted from
1.5 V to a maximum of 3.3 V, by an external resistor
divider or, is fixed internally on the chip. The devices
provide an output current of 200 mA with a supply
voltage of only 0.9 V. The converter starts up into a
full load with a supply voltage of only 0.9 V and stays
in operation with supply voltages down to 0.8 V.
The converter is based on a fixed frequency, current
mode, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller that
goes automatically into power save mode at light
load. It uses a built-in synchronous rectifier, so, no
external Schottky diode is required and the system
efficiency is improved. The current through the switch
is limited to a maximum value of 1300 mA. The
converter can be disabled to minimize battery drain.
During shutdown, the load is completely isolated from
the battery.
An autodischarge function allows discharging the
output capacitor during shutdown mode. This is
especially useful when a microcontroller or memory is
supplied, where residual voltage across the output
capacitor can cause malfunction of the applications.
When programming the ADEN-pin, the autodischarge
function can be disabled. A low-EMI mode is implemented to reduce interference and radiated electromagnetic energy when the converter enters the
discontinuous conduction mode. The device is packaged in the micro-small space saving 10-pin MSOP
package. The TPS61010 is also available in a 3 mm
x 3 mm 10-pin QFN package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Controller Circuit
The device is based on a current-mode control topology using a constant frequency pulse-width modulator to
regulate the output voltage. The controller limits the current through the power switch on a pulse by pulse basis.
The current-sensing circuit is integrated in the device, therefore, no additional components are required. Due to
the nature of the boost converter topology used here, the peak switch current is the same as the peak inductor
current, which will be limited by the integrated current limiting circuits under normal operating conditions.
The control loop must be externally compensated with an R-C-C network connected to the COMP-pin.
Synchronous Rectifier
The device integrates an N-channel and a P-channel MOSFET transistor to realize a synchronous rectifier. There
is no additional Schottky diode required. Because the device uses a integrated low r
rectification, the power conversion efficiency reaches 95%.
A special circuit is applied to disconnect the load from the input during shutdown of the converter. In conventional
synchronous rectifier circuits, the backgate diode of the high-side PMOS is forward biased in shutdown and
allows current flowing from the battery to the output. This device, however, uses a special circuit to disconnect
the backgate diode of the high-side PMOS and so, disconnects the output circuitry from the source when the
regulator is not enabled (EN = low).
The benefit of this feature for the system design engineer, is that the battery is not depleted during shutdown of
the converter. So, no additional effort has to be made by the system designer to ensure disconnection of the
battery from the output of the converter. Therefore, design performance will be increased without additional costs
and board space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Power-Save Mode
The TPS61010 is designed for high efficiency over a wide output current range. Even at light loads, the efficiency
stays high because the switching losses of the converter are minimized by effectively reducing the switching
frequency. The controller enters a powersave-mode if certain conditions are met. In this mode, the controller only
switches on the transistor if the output voltage trips below a set threshold voltage. It ramps up the output voltage
with one or several pulses, and goes again into powersave-mode once the output voltage exceeds a set
threshold voltage.
Device Enable
The device is shut down when EN is set to GND. In this mode, the regulator stops switching, all internal control
circuitry including the low-battery comparator, is switched off, and the load is disconnected from the input (as
described above in the synchronous rectifier section). This also means that the output voltage may drop below
the input voltage during shutdown.
The device is put into operation when EN is set high. During start-up of the converter, the duty cycle is limited in
order to avoid high peak currents drawn from the battery. The limit is set internally by the current limit circuit and
is proportional to the voltage on the COMP-pin.
Under-Voltage Lockout
An under-voltage lockout function prevents the device from starting up if the supply voltage on VBAT is lower
than approximately 0.7 V. This under-voltage lockout function is implemented in order to prevent the
malfunctioning of the converter. When in operation and the battery is being discharged, the device will
automatically enter the shutdown mode if the voltage on VBAT drops below approximately 0.7 V.
Autodischarge
The autodischarge function is useful for applications where the supply voltage of a µ C, µ P, or memory has to be
removed during shutdown in order to ensure a defined state of the system.
The autodischarge function is enabled when the ADEN is set high, and is disabled when the ADEN is set to
GND. When the autodischarge function is enabled, the output capacitor will be discharged after the device is
shut down by setting EN to GND. The capacitors connected to the output are discharged by an integrated switch
of 300 Ω , hence the discharge time depends on the total output capacitance. The residual voltage on VOUT is
less than 0.4 V after autodischarge.
Low-Battery Detector Circuit (LBI and LBO)
The low-battery detector circuit is typically used to supervise the battery voltage and to generate an error flag
when the battery voltage drops below a user-set threshold voltage. The function is active only when the device is
enabled. When the device is disabled, the LBO-pin is high impedance. The LBO-pin goes active low when the
voltage on the LBI-pin decreases below the set threshold voltage of 500 mV ± 15 mV, which is equal to the
internal reference voltage. The battery voltage, at which the detection circuit switches, can be programmed with a
resistive divider connected to the LBI-pin. The resistive divider scales down the battery voltage to a voltage level
of 500 mV, which is then compared to the LBI threshold voltage. The LBI-pin has a built-in hysteresis of 10 mV.
See the application section for more details about the programming of the LBI-threshold.
If the low-battery detection circuit is not used, the LBI-pin should be connected to GND (or to VBAT) and the
LBO-pin can be left unconnected. Do not let the LBI-pin float.
Antiringing Switch
The device integrates a circuit that removes the ringing that typically appears on the SW-node when the
converter enters the discontinuous current mode. In this case, the current through the inductor ramps to zero and
the integrated PMOS switch turns off to prevent a reverse current from the output capacitors back to the battery.
Due to remaining energy that is stored in parasitic components of the semiconductors and the inductor, a ringing
on the SW pin is induced. The integrated antiringing switch clamps this voltage internally to V
dampens this ringing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Adjustable Output Voltage
The devices with fixed output voltages are trimmed to operate with an output voltage accuracy of ± 3%.
The accuracy of the adjustable version is determined by the accuracy of the internal voltage reference, the
controller topology, and the accuracy of the external resistor. The reference voltage has an accuracy of ± 4% over
line, load, and temperature. The controller switches between fixed frequency and pulse-skip mode, depending on
load current. This adds an offset to the output voltage that is equivalent to 1% of VO. The tolerance of the
resistors in the feedback divider determine the total system accuracy.
