8.1 Overview

The TPS6306x use 4 internal N-channel MOSFETs to maintain synchronous power conversion at all possible operating conditions. This enables the device to keep high efficiency over the complete input voltage and output power range. To regulate the output voltage at all possible input voltage conditions, the device automatically switches from buck operation to boost operation and back as required by the configuration. It always uses one active switch, one rectifying switch, one switch is held on, and one switch held off. Therefore, it operates as a buck converter when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, and as a boost converter when the input voltage is lower than the output voltage. There is no mode of operation in which all 4 switches are switching at the same time. Keeping one switch on and one switch off eliminates their switching losses. The RMS current through the switches and the inductor is kept at a minimum, to minimize switching and conduction losses. Controlling the switches this way allows the converter to always keep higher efficiency.

The device provides a seamless transition from buck to boost or from boost to buck operation.
