TPS61200 in TI TPS6xxxx Bucks & Boosts Family
The TPS61200 series from Texas Instruments is a family of high-efficiency synchronous step-up converters designed for systems powered by single-cell Li-Ion, dual-cell alkaline, or NiCd/NiMH batteries. These devices are notable for their exceptionally low input voltage capability, allowing operation from sources as low as 0.3V once started. This makes them ideal for harvesting energy from low-voltage sources or extracting maximum capacity from depleting batteries in portable electronic designs.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the TPS6120x sub-family primarily differ in their output voltage configurations. While the base TPS61200 offers an adjustable output voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V via an external resistor divider, siblings like the TPS61201 and TPS61202 provide fixed output voltages of 3.3V and 5.0V respectively. These fixed-voltage versions reduce external component count and improve overall reliability in space-constrained applications.
