Texas Instruments TPS61378-Q1 Synchronous Boost Converter comes with a load disconnect function integrated. The input voltage covers from 2.3V to 14V, while the maximal output voltage up to 18.5V. The switching current limit is programmable from 1A to 4.8A. It consumes a 25uA quiescent current from VIN.
The TPS61378-Q1 employs the peak current mode control with the switching frequency programmable from 200kHz to 2.2MHz. The device works in fixed-frequency PWM operation in medium to heavy load. There are two optional modes in light load by configuring the MODE pin: Auto PFM mode and Forced PWM to balance the efficiency and noise immunity in light load. The switching frequency can be synchronized to an external clock. The TPS61378-Q1 uses the spread spectrum of the internal clock for more EMI friendly at FPWM mode. Also, there is an internal soft-start time to limit the inrush current.
The Texas Instruments TPS61378-Q1 has various fixed output voltage versions to save the external feedback resistor. It supports the external loop compensation so that the stability and transient response could be optimized at a wider Vout/Vin range. It also integrates robust protection features that include output short protection, output over-voltage protection, and thermal shutdown protection. The TPS61378-Q1 is available in a 3mm x 3mm 16-pin QFN package with a wettable flank.
