7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The TPS61085T boost converter is designed for output voltages up to 18.5 V with a switch-peak current limit of
2 A minimum. The device, which operates in a current mode scheme with quasi-constant frequency, is externally compensated for maximum flexibility and stability. The switching frequency is selectable between
650 kHz or 1.2 MHz and the minimum input voltage is 2.3 V. To control the inrush current at start-up, a soft-start pin is available.

The TPS61085T's boost converter’s novel topology using adaptive OFF-time provides superior load and line transient responses and operates also over a wider range of applications than conventional converters.

The selectable switching frequency offers the possibility to optimize the design either for the use of small sized components (1.2 MHz) or for higher system efficiency (650 kHz). However, the frequency changes slightly because the voltage drop across the RDS(on) has some influence on the current and voltage measurement and thus on the ON-time (the OFF-time remains constant).

Depending on the load current, the converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM), discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), or pulse skip mode to maintain the output voltage.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Soft Start

The boost converter has an adjustable soft start to prevent high inrush current during start-up. To minimize the inrush current during start-up an external capacitor connected to the soft-start pin SS is used to slowly ramp up the internal current limit of the boost converter when charged with a constant current. When the EN pin is pulled high, the soft-start capacitor (CSS) is immediately charged to 0.3 V. The capacitor is then charged at a constant current of 10 µA typically until the output of the boost converter VS has reached its power good threshold (90% of VS nominal value). During this time, the SS voltage directly controls the peak inductor current, starting with 0 A at VSS = 0.3 V up to the full current limit at VSS ≈ 800 mV. The maximum load current is available after the soft start is completed. The larger the capacitor the slower the ramp of the current limit and the longer the soft-start time. A 100-nF capacitor is usually sufficient for most of the applications. When the EN pin is pulled low, the soft-start capacitor is discharged to ground.

7.3.2 Frequency Select Pin (FREQ)

The frequency select pin FREQ allows to set the switching frequency of the device to 650 kHz (FREQ = low) or 1.2 MHz (FREQ = high). Higher switching frequency improves load transient response but reduces slightly the efficiency. The other benefits of higher switching frequency are a lower output ripple voltage and smaller inductor size. Usually, TI recommends using 1.2-MHz switching frequency unless light-load efficiency is a major concern.

7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

To avoid misoperation of the device at low input voltages an undervoltage lockout is included that disables the device, if the input voltage falls below 2.2 V.

7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown

A thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent damages due to excessive heat and power dissipation. Typically the thermal shutdown threshold is at TJ = 150°C. When the thermal shutdown is triggered the device stops switching until the temperature falls below typically TJ = 136°C. Then the device starts switching again.

7.3.5 Overvoltage Prevention

If overvoltage is detected on the FB pin (typically 3% above the nominal value of 1.238 V) the part stops switching immediately until the voltage on this pin drops to its nominal value. This prevents overvoltage on the output and secures the circuits connected to the output from excessive overvoltage.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

The converter operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) as soon as the input current increases above half the ripple current in the inductor. For lower load currents it switches into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). If the load is further reduced, the part starts to skip pulses to maintain the output voltage.
