5 Description (Continued)

The TPS61251 device in combination with a reservoir capacitor allows the converter to provide high current pules that would exceed the capability of the suppling circuit (PC slot, USB) and keeps the slot power safely within its capabilities. During light loads the device automatically enters an enhanced power save mode (snooze mode), which allows the converter to maintain the required output voltage, while only drawing 2 μA from the battery. This allows maximum efficiency at lowest quiescent currents.

TPS61251 device allows the use of small inductors and input capacitors to achieve a small solution size. During shutdown, the load is completely disconnected from the battery and will not discharge either the battery nor the charged bulk capacitor. The TPS61251 device is available in a 8-pin QFN package measuring 2 × 2 mm (DSG).
