SLVAFH1A December 2022 – December 2023 TPS62933 , TPS62933F , TPS62933O , TPS62933P
The input voltage that can be applied to an inverting buck boost converter IC is less than the input voltage that can be applied to the same buck converter IC. This is because the ground pin of the IC is connected to the (negative) output voltage. Therefore, the input voltage across the device is VIN to VOUT, not VIN to ground. Thus, the input voltage range of the TPS6293x device is 3.8 V to 30 V – VOUT, where VOUT is a positive value.
