TITPS61236PRWLR
Overview
The TPS61236PRWLR is a compact, high-efficiency synchronous boost switching regulator designed for power solutions requiring small size and high power density. It features adjustable output voltage from 2.9V to 5.5V and can deliver up to 3.5A output current. This device is well-suited for single-cell Li-ion battery or 3.3V rail applications, converting lower input voltages to higher, stable output voltages.
Why Choose This Part
This boost regulator offers a high switching frequency of 1MHz, enabling the use of small external inductors and capacitors, thus reducing solution size. Its synchronous operation ensures high efficiency, crucial for battery-powered applications to extend run-time. Features like true disconnection during shutdown, soft-start, and comprehensive protection mechanisms (current limit, over-voltage, over-thermal) enhance system reliability and safety.
