3 Description

The TPS6128xD/E device provides a power supply

solution for products powered by either by a Li-Ion,

Nickel-Rich, Silicon Anode, Li-Ion or LiFePO4 battery.

The voltage range is optimized for single-cell portable

applications like in smart-phones or tablet PCs.

Used as a high-power pre-regulator, the

TPS6128xD/E extends the battery run-time and

overcomes input current- and voltage limitations of the

powered system.

While in shutdown, the TPS6128xD/E operates in

a true pass-through mode with only 3-μA quiescent

consumption for longest battery shelf life.

During operation, when the battery is at a good stateof-

charge, a low-ohmic, high-efficient integrated passthrough

path connects the battery to the powered

system.

If the battery gets to a lower state of charge and

its voltage becomes lower than the desired minimum

system voltage, the device seamlessly transits into

boost mode to uses the full battery capacity.
