3 Description

The TPS61378-Q1 is a fully-integrated synchronous

boost converter with an integrated load disconnect

function. The input voltage covers 2.3V to 14V while

the maximal output voltage covers up to 18.5V. The

switching current limit is programmable from 1A to

4.8A. The device consumes 25μA quiescent current

from VIN.

The TPS61378-Q1 employs peak current mode

control with the switching frequency programmable

from 200kHz to 2.2MHz. The device works in fixed

frequency PWM operation in medium to heavy loads.

There are two optional modes in light load by

configuring the MODE pin: auto PFM mode and

forced PWM to balance the efficiency and noise

immunity in light load. The switching frequency can be

synchronized to an external clock. The TPS61378-Q1

uses the spread spectrum of the internal clock to be

more EMI friendly at FPWM mode. In addition, there

is an internal soft-start time to limit the inrush current.

The TPS61378-Q1 has various fixed output voltage

versions to save the external feedback resistor. It

supports the external loop compensation so that the

stability and transient response can be optimized

at wider VOUT/VIN ranges. It also integrates robust

protection features including output short protection,

output overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown

protection. The TPS61378-Q1 is available in a 3mm ×

3mm 16-pin QFN package with wettable flank.
