DESCRIPTION

The TPS6260x device is a high-frequency

synchronous step-down dc-dc converter optimized for

battery-powered portable applications. Intended for

low-power applications, the TPS6260x supports up to

500mA load current, and allows the use of low cost chip inductor and capacitors.

With a wide input voltage range of 2.3V to 5.5V, the device supports applications powered by Li-Ion

batteries with extended voltage range. Different fixed

voltage output versions are available from 1V to 2.5V.

The TPS6260x operates at a regulated 6-MHz

switching frequency and enters the power-save mode

operation at light load currents to maintain high

efficiency over the entire load current range.

The PFM mode extends the battery life by reducing

the quiescent current to 30mA (typ) during light load

and standby operation. For noise-sensitive

applications, the device can be forced into fixed

frequency PWM mode by pulling the MODE pin high.

In the shutdown mode, the current consumption is

reduced to less than 1mA.

The TPS6260x is available in an 6-pin chip-scale

package (CSP).
