ZHCSFD9B July 2016 – October 2018 TPS61230A
PRODUCTION DATA.
During the startup phase, the output current is limited to the pre-charge current limit which is proportional to the output voltage. The device could support minimum 1.0A output current at 2.5V input.
The TPS61230A employs a valley current sensing scheme at the normal boost switching phase. The switch valley current limit detection occurs during the off time through the sensing the voltage drop across the rectifier FET. If the switch valley current is lower than the valley current limit level, the device turns off the rectifier FET. The maximum continuous output current (IOUT_LIM), prior to entering current limit operation, can be defined by:
If the output current is further increased and the output voltage is pulled blow the input voltage, the TPS61230A enters into the hiccup protection mode. The average current and thermal will be much lowered at the hiccup steady state and the device could recovery automatically as long as the over load condition being released.
