SLVSA02B September 2009 – January 2019 TPS60151
PRODUCTION DATA.
Most of today’s battery-powered portable electronics allow and/or require data transfer with a PC. One of the fastest data transfer protocols is via USB OTG. As Figure 10 shows, the USB OTG circuitry in the portable device requires a 5-V power rail and up to 140mA of current. The HDMI specification calls for a 5-V power rail that can source 55mA or more current. The TPS60151 may be used to provide a 5-V power rail in a battery powered system.
Alternatively, low-cost portable electronics with small LCD displays require a low-cost solution for providing the WLED backlight. As shown in Figure 26, the TPS60151 can also be used to drive several WLEDs in parallel, with the help of ballast resistors.
