8.1 Application Information

The TPS61230A is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.5 V and 4.5 V with a maximum output current of 2.4 A. The device operates in PWM mode for medium to heavy load conditions and in the PFM mode at the light load currents. In PWM mode the TPS61230A converter operates with the nominal switching frequency of 1.15 MHz which provides a controlled frequency variation over the input voltage range. As the load current decreases, the converter enters into the PFM mode, reducing the switching frequency and minimizing the quiescent current to achieve the high efficiency over the entire load current range.
