7.4.1 Operation

The TPS6104x operates with an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 6 V and can generate output voltages up to 28 V. The device operates in a pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) scheme with constant peak current control. This control scheme maintains high efficiency over the entire load current range, and with a switching frequency up to 1 MHz, the device enables the use of very small external components.

The converter monitors the output voltage, and as soon as the feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage of typically 1.233 V, the internal switch turns on and the current ramps up. The switch turns off as soon as the inductor current reaches the internally set peak current of typically 400 mA (TPS61040) or 250 mA (TPS61041). See Peak Current Control for more information. The second criteria that turns off the switch is the maximum on-time of 6 μs (typical). This is just to limit the maximum on-time of the converter to cover for extreme conditions. As the switch is turned off the external Schottky diode is forward biased delivering the current to the output. The switch remains off for a minimum of 400 ns (typical), or until the feedback voltage drops below the reference voltage again. Using this PFM peak current control scheme the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) where the switching frequency depends on the output current, which results in very high efficiency over the entire load current range. This regulation scheme is inherently stable, allowing a wider selection range for the inductor and output capacitor.
