DESCRIPTION
The TPS6202x is a high efficiency synchronous
step-down dc-dc converter optimized for battery pow-
ered portable applications. This device is ideal for
portable applications powered by a single Li-Ion
battery cell or by 3-cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. With an
output voltage range from 6.0 V down to 0.7 V, the
device supports low voltage DSPs and processors in
PDAs, pocket PCs, as well as notebooks and
subnotebook computers. The TPS6202x operates at
a fixed switching frequency of 1.25 MHz and enters
the power save mode operation at light load currents
to maintain high efficiency over the entire load current
range. For low noise applications, the device can be
forced into fixed frequency PWM mode by pulling the
MODE pin high. The difference between the
TPS6202x and the TPS62021 is the logic level of the
MODE pin. The TPS62021 has an active-low MODE
pin. The TPS6202x supports up to 600-mA load
current.
