Boost converter drives innovation in portable devices

07-05-2024 | WIN SOURCE | Power

Texas Instruments TLV61046ADBVR is a highly integrated, high-output voltage boost converter. Available now from WIN SOURCE, it employs advanced current-mode control technology, allowing it to boost input voltages as low as 1.8V up to a maximum of 28V, with a typical switch current of 980mA. This efficient conversion capability enables the device to operate stably with low input voltages, significantly extending battery life.

The device is equipped with several significant features, including an integrated power diode and isolation switch, output short-circuit protection, output over-voltage protection, and thermal shutdown protection, supplying safety for high-performance applications. It operates within an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V and supports operating temperatures from -40C to 85C, making it highly adaptable to varied environments.

The converter also offers rich peripheral features, such as an internally set 12V output voltage and a fixed switching frequency of up to 1MHz. This enables the device to maintain high efficiency while decreasing reliance on external components, simplifying system design. Its compact packaging and minimal external component requirements make it excellent for space-constrained portable devices.

Low power consumption is a key characteristic of the device, designed to minimise quiescent current draw and greatly extend battery life – ideal for battery-powered and portable devices. Its efficient output conversion lowers energy waste, maximising device functionality while minimising power consumption.

The device is suitable for various demanding applications, from portable consumer electronics to high-performance industrial applications. It supports multiple display and sensor applications, providing a robust solution for devices requiring high output voltages.
