The TPS6122x family devices provide a power-supply solution for products powered by either a single-cell, two-cell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH, or one-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Possible output currents depend on the input-to-output voltage ratio. The boost converter is based on a hysteretic controller topology using synchronous rectification to obtain maximum efficiency at minimal quiescent currents. The output voltage of the adjustable version can be programmed by an external resistor divider, or is set internally to a fixed output voltage. The converter can be switched off by a featured enable pin. While being switched off, battery drain is minimized. The device is offered in a 6-pin SC-70 package (DCK) measuring 2 mm × 2 mm to enable small circuit layout size.

TIDA-00599 — LP5910 and TPS61221 as Power Reference Design for devices Interacting with Ultra-Low Voltage MSP430

The MSP430X09X can operate form ultra-low voltages (ULV) in the range of 0.9V to 1.65V; however most of the devices in the system requires higher voltages. TIDA-00599 provides a solution for those companion devices that requires 1.8V and 3.3V input voltages.
