PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS61098x is an ultra-low power solution optimized for products powered by either a one-cell or two-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, one-cell coin cell battery or one-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. To simplify system design and save PCB space, the TPS61098x integrates an LDO or load switch with a boost converter (different configurations for different versions) to provide two output rails in a compact package. The boost output V(MAIN) is designed as an always-on supply to power a main system, and the LDO or load switch output V(SUB) is designed to power peripheral devices and can be turned off.
The TPS61098x features two modes controlled by MODE pin: Active mode and Low Power mode. In Active mode, both outputs are enabled, and the transient response performance of the boost converter and LDO/load switch are enhanced, so it is able to respond load transient quickly. In Low Power mode, the LDO/load switch is disabled, so the peripherals can be disconnected to minimize the battery drain. Besides that, the boost consumes only 300 nA quiescent current in Low Power mode, so up to 88% efficiency at 10 µA load can be achieved to extend the battery run time. The TPS610982 is an exception. Its LDO is always on in both Active mode and Low Power mode. The main differences between the two modes of the TPS610982 are the quiescent current and performance. Refer to Section 8.4.1 for details.
The TPS61098x supports automatic pass-through function in both Active mode and Low Power mode. When VIN is detected higher than a pass-through threshold, which is around the target V(MAIN) voltage, the boost converter stops switching and passes the input voltage through inductor and internal rectifier switch to V(MAIN), so V(MAIN) follows VIN; when VIN is lower than the threshold, the boost works in boost mode and regulates V(MAIN) at the target value. The TPS61098x can support different V(MAIN) target values in Active mode and Low Power mode to meet various requirements. For example, for TPS61098, the set value of V(MAIN) is 4.3 V in Active mode but 2.2 V in Low Power mode.
