TPS60110PWPR

The TPS60110 step-up, regulated charge pump generates a 5-V ±4% output voltage from a 2.7-V to 5.4-V input voltage (three alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries; or, one lithium or lithium ion battery). Output current is 300 mA from a 3-V input. Only four external capacitors are needed to build a complete low-noise dc/dc converter. The push-pull operating mode of two single-ended charge pumps assures the low output voltage ripple as current is continuously transferred to the output. From a 3-V input, the TPS60110 can start into full load with loads as low as 16 Ω.The TPS60110 features either constant frequency mode to minimize noise and output voltage ripple or the power-saving pulse-skip mode to extend battery life at light loads. The TPS60110 switching frequency is 300 kHz. The logic shutdown function reduces the supply current to 1-µA (max) and disconnects the load from the input. Special current-control circuitry prevents excessive current from being drawn from the battery during start-up. This dc/dc converter requires no inductors and has low EMI. It is available in the small 20-pin TSSOP PowerPAD™ package (PWP).
