9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TPS6109x synchronous step-up converter typically operates at a 600-kHz frequency pulse width modulation
(PWM) at moderate to heavy load currents. The converter enters power save mode at low load currents to
maintain a high efficiency over a wide load. The power save mode can also be disabled, forcing the converter to
operate at a fixed switching frequency. The TPS6109x family is based on a fixed frequency with multiple feed
forward controller topology. Input voltage, output voltage, and voltage drop on the NMOS switch are monitored
and forwarded to the regulator. The peak current of the NMOS switch is also sensed to limit the maximum
current flowing through the switch and the inductor. It can also operate synchronized to an external clock signal
that is applied to the SYNC pin. Additionally, TPS6109x integrated the low-battery detector circuit typically used
to supervise the battery voltage and to generate an error flag when the battery voltage drops below a user-set
threshold voltage.

9.3.5 Softstart
When the device enables the internal startup cycle starts with the first step, the precharge phase. During
precharge, the rectifying switch is turned on until the output capacitor is charged to a value close to the input
voltage. The rectifying switch current is limited in that phase. This also limits the output current under short-circuit
conditions at the output. After charging the output capacitor to the input voltage the device starts switching. Until
the output voltage is reached, the boost switch current limit is set to 40% of its nominal value to avoid high peak
currents at the battery during startup. When the output voltage is reached, the regulator takes control and the
switch current limit is set back to 100%.

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

The output of the low battery supervisor is a simple open-drain output that goes active low if the dedicated
battery voltage drops below the programmed threshold voltage on LBI. The output requires a pullup resistor with
a recommended value of 1 MΩ. The maximum voltage which is used to pull up the LBO outputs should not
exceed the output voltage of the DC-DC converter. If not used, the LBO pin can be left floating or tied to GND.
The second parameter for choosing the inductor is the desired current ripple in the inductor. Normally, it is
advisable to work with a ripple of less than 20% of the average inductor current. A smaller ripple reduces the
magnetic hysteresis losses in the inductor, as well as output voltage ripple and EMI. But in the same way,
regulation time at load changes rises. In addition, a larger inductor increases the total system costs. With those
parameters, it is possible to calculate the value for the inductor by using Equation 5:
V
BAT
ǒVOUT–VBATǓ
L+
DI ƒ V
L OUT (5)
Parameter f is the switching frequency and ΔIL is the ripple current in the inductor, i.e., 20% × IL. In this example,
the desired inductor has the value of 5.5 µH. With this calculated value and the calculated currents, it is possible
to choose a suitable inductor. Care has to be taken that load transients and losses in the circuit can lead to
higher currents as estimated in equation 4. Also, the losses in the inductor caused by magnetic hysteresis losses
and copper losses are a major parameter for total circuit efficiency.
The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used with the TPS6109x converters:

OUT (6)
Parameter f is the switching frequency and ΔV is the maximum allowed ripple.
With a chosen ripple voltage of 10 mV, a minimum capacitance of 53 µF is needed. The total ripple is larger due
to the ESR of the output capacitor. This additional component of the ripple can be calculated using Equation 7:
DV +I R
ESR OUT ESR (7)
An additional ripple of 40 mV is the result of using a tantalum capacitor with a low ESR of 80 mΩ. The total ripple
is the sum of the ripple caused by the capacitance and the ripple caused by the ESR of the capacitor. In this
example, the total ripple is 50 mV. Additional ripple is caused by load transients. This means that the output
capacitance needs to be larger than calculated above to meet the total ripple requirements. The output capacitor
has to completely supply the load during the charging phase of the inductor. A reasonable value of the output
capacitance depends on the speed of the load transients and the load current during the load change. With the
calculated minimum value of 53 µF and load transient considerations, a reasonable output capacitance value is
in a 100 µF range. For economical reasons this usually is a tantalum capacitor. Because of this the control loop
has been optimized for using output capacitors with an ESR of above 30 mΩ.
