The TPS61200DRCR is a boost converter that takes an input voltage and steps it up to a higher output voltage. This is useful in battery-powered systems where higher voltages are needed for operation. The key components involved include:
Inductor (connected to the SW pin) stores energy when the transistor switch is on, then releases it when the switch turns off. Diode (often external) prevents backflow of current when the switch is off. Feedback loop (via the FB pin) controls the output voltage to ensure it remains at a desired level by adjusting the duty cycle of the switch. PWM Control inside the device determines the timing of the switches to regulate energy transfer and maintain stable output voltage.FAQ - 20 Common Questions and Answers
