3 Description

The TPS61178x family is a 20-V synchronous Boost

converter with the gate driver built-in for load

disconnect. The TPS61178x integrates two low onresistance

power FETs: A 16-mΩ switching FET and

a 16-mΩ rectifier FET.

The TPS61178x uses the fixed frequency peak

current mode control with the slope compensation

integrated. At the light load, the TPS61178 enters into

the auto PFM mode while TPS611781 is in the forced

PWM mode.

The TPS61178x could isolate the output from input

side when shutdown. Once the output is shorted, it

enters into the hiccup mode to lower the thermal

stress and can recover automatically after the short

releases. Additionally, the TPS61178x also has OVP

and thermal protection to avoid the fault operation.

The TPS61178x is in a 3.0-mm x 3.5-mm 13-pin

VQFN package with enhanced thermal dissipation.
