PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS6128xD/E contains an internal switch for bypassing the dc/dc boost converter during pass-through mode. When the input voltage is larger than the preset output voltage, the converter seamlessly transitions into 0% duty cycle operation and the bypass FET is fully enhanced. Entry in pass-through mode is triggered by condition where VOUT >(1+2%)* VOUT_NORM and no switching has occurred during past 8µs.
In this mode of operation, the load (2G RF PA for instance) is directly supplied from the battery for maximum RF output power, highest efficiency and lowest possible input-to-output voltage difference. The device consumes only a standby current of 15µA (typ). In pass-through mode, the device is short-circuit protected by a very fast current limit detection scheme.
During this operation, the output voltage follows the input voltage and will not fall below the programmed output voltage threshold as the input voltage decreases. The output voltage drop during pass-through mode depends on the load current and input voltage, the resulting output voltage is calculated as:
Conversely, the efficiency in pass-through mode is defined as:
Pass-through mode exit is triggered when the output voltage reaches the pre-defined threshold (that is, 3.4V).
During pass-through mode, the TPS6128xD/E device is short-circuit protected by a fast current limit detection scheme. If the current in the pass-through FET exceeds approximately 7.3 Amps a fault is declared and the device cycles through a start-up procedure.
