PRODUCTION DATA.
The power supply of TPS6120x DC-DC converters can be a single up to triple cell Alkaline, NiCd, NiMH battery with a typical terminal voltage between 0.7 V and 5.5 V. The TPS6120x can also be powered by one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer with a typical voltage between 2.5 V and 4.2 V. Additionally, any other voltage source like solar cells or fuel cells with a typical output voltage between 0.3 V and 5.5 V can also be the power supply.
The input supply should be well regulated with the rating of TPS6120x. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the device, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic or tantalum capacitor with a value of 47 µF is a typical choice.
