description
The TPS6020x step-up, regulated charge pumps generate a 3.3-V ±4% output voltage from a 1.8-V to 3.6-V
input voltage. The devices are typically powered by two Alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH battery cells and operate down
to a minimum supply voltage of 1.6 V. Continuous output current is a minimum of 100 mA from a 2-V input. Only
four external capacitors are needed to build a complete low-ripple dc/dc converter. The push-pull operating
mode of two single-ended charge pumps assures the low output voltage ripple, as current is continuously
transferred to the output.

description (continued)
The devices operate in the newly developed LinSkip mode. In this operating mode, the device switches
seamlessly from the power saving pulse-skip mode at light loads to the low-noise constant-frequency,
linear-regulation mode once the output current exceeds the LinSkip threshold of about 7 mA. Even in pulse-skip
mode, the output ripple is maintained at a very low level because the output resistance of the charge pump is
still regulated.
Three operating modes can be programmed using the EN pin. EN = low disables the device, shuts down all
internal circuits, and disconnects the output from the input. EN = high enables the device and programs it to run
from the internal oscillator. The devices operate synchronized to an external clock signal if EN is clocked; thus,
switching harmonics can be controlled and minimized. The devices include a low-battery detector that issues a
warning if the battery voltage drops below a user-defined threshold voltage, or a power-good detector that goes
active when the output voltage reaches about 90% of its nominal value.
Device options with either a low-battery or power good detector are available. This dc/dc converter requires no
inductors, therefore, EMI of the system is reduced to a minimum. It is available in the small 10-pin MSOP
package (DGS).

detailed description
operating principle
The TPS6020x charge pumps provide a regulated 3.3-V output from a 1.8-V to 3.6-V input. They deliver up to
100-mA load current while maintaining the output at 3.3 V ±4%. Designed specifically for space critical battery
powered applications, the complete converter requires only four external capacitors. The device is using the
push-pull topology to achieve lowest output voltage ripple. The converter is also optimized for smallest board
space. It makes use of small sized capacitors, with the highest output current rating per output capacitance and
package size.
The TPS6020x circuits consist of an oscillator, a 1.18-V voltage reference, an internal resistive feedback circuit,
an error amplifier, two charge pump power stages with high current MOSFET switches, a shutdown/start-up
circuit, and a control circuit (see functional block diagrams).
push-pull operating mode
The two single-ended charge pump power stages operate in the so-called push-pull operating mode, i.e., they
operate with a 180°C phase shift. Each single-ended charge pump transfers charge into its transfer capacitor
(C1 or C2) in one half of the period. During the other half of the period (transfer phase), the transfer capacitor
is placed in series with the input to transfer its charge to Co. While one single-ended charge pump is in the charge
phase, the other one is in the transfer phase. This operation assures an almost constant output current which
ensures a low output ripple.
If the clock were to run continuously, this process would eventually generate an output voltage equal to two times
the input voltage (hence the name voltage doubler). In order to provide a regulated fixed output voltage of 3.3 V,
the TPS6020x devices use either pulse-skip or constant-frequency linear-regulation control mode. The mode
is automatically selected based on the output current. If the load current is below the LinSkip current threshold,
it switches into the power-saving pulse-skip mode to boost efficiency at low output power.

detailed description (continued)
constant-frequency mode
When the output current is higher then the LinSkip current threshold, the charge pump runs continuously at the
switching frequency f(OSC). The control circuit, fed from the error amplifier, controls the charge on C1 and C2
by controlling the gates and hence the rDS(ON) of the integrated MOSFETs. When the output voltage decreases,
the gate drive increases, resulting in a larger voltage across C1 and C2. This regulation scheme minimizes
output ripple. Since the device switches continuously, the output signal contains well-defined frequency
components, and the circuit requires smaller external capacitors for a given output ripple. However,
constant-frequency mode, due to higher operating current, is less efficient at light loads. For this reason, the
device switches seamlessly into the pulse-skip mode when the output current drops below the LinSkip current
threshold.
pulse-skip mode
The regulator enters the pulse-skip mode when the output current is lower than the LinSkip current threshold
of 7 mA. In the pulse-skip mode, the error amplifier disables switching of the power stages when it detects an
output voltage higher than 3.3 V. The controller skips switching cycles until the output voltage drops below 3.3 V.
Then the error amplifier reactivates the oscillator and switching of the power stages starts again. A 30-mV output
voltage offset is introduced in this mode.
The pulse-skip regulation mode minimizes operating current because it does not switch continuously and
deactivates all functions except the voltage reference and error amplifier when the output is higher than 3.3 V.
Even i n pulse-skip mode the rDS(ON) of the MOSFETs is controlled. This way the energy per switching cycle that
is transferred by the charge pump from the input to the output is limited to the minimum that is necessary to
sustain a regulated output voltage, with the benefit that the output ripple is kept to a minimum. When switching
is disabled from the error amplifier, the load is also isolated from the input.
start up and shutdown
During start-up, i.e. when EN is set from logic low to logic high, the output capacitor is directly connected to IN
and charged up with a limited current until the output voltage VO reaches 0.8 × VI. When the start-up comparator
detects this limit, the converter begins switching. This precharging of the output capacitor guarantees a short
start-up time. In addition, the inrush current into an empty output capacitor is limited. The converter can start
into a full load, which is defined by a 33- or 66- resistor, respectively.
Driving EN low disables the converter. This disables all internal circuits and reduces the supply current to only
0.05 µA. The device exits shutdown once EN is set high. When the device is disabled, the load is isolated from
the input. This is an important feature in battery operated products because it extends the products shelf life.
synchronization to an external clock signal
The operating frequency of the charge pump is limited to 400 kHz in order to avoid interference in the sensitive
455-kHz IF band. The device can either run from the integrated oscillator, or an external clock signal can be used
to drive the charge pump. The maximum frequency of the external clock signal is 800 kHz. The switching
frequency used internally to drive the charge pump power stages is half of the external clock frequency. The
external clock signal is applied to the EN pin. The device will switch off if the signal on EN is hold low for more
than 10 µs.
When the load current drops below the LinSkip current threshold, the devices will enter the pulse-skip mode
but stay synchronized to the external clock signal.

low-battery detector (TPS60204)
The low-battery comparator trips at 1.18 V ±4% when the voltage on pin LBI ramps down. The voltage V(TRIP)
at which the low-battery warning is issued can be adjusted with a resistive divider as shown in Figure 2. The
sum of resistors R1 and R2 is recommended to be in the 100-k to 1-M range. When choosing R1 and R2,
be aware of the input leakage current into the LBI pin.
LBO is an open drain output. An external pullup resistor to OUT, or any other voltage rail in the appropriate range,
in the 100-k to 1-Mrange is recommended. During start-up, the LBO output signal is invalid for the first
500 µs. LBO is high impedance when the device is disabled. If the low-battery comparator function is not used,
connect LBI to ground and leave LBO unconnected. The low-battery detector is disabled when the device is
switched off.

The power-good output is an open-drain output that pulls low when the output is out of regulation. When the
output rises to within 90% of its nominal voltage, the power-good output is released. Power-good is high
impedance in shutdown. In normal operation, an external pullup resistor must be connected between PG and
OUT, or any other voltage rail in the appropriate range. The resistor should be in the 100-k to 1-M range.
If the PG output is not used, it should remain unconnected.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
capacitor selection
The TPS6020x devices require only four external capacitors to achieve a very low output voltage ripple. The
capacitor values are closely linked to the required output current. Low ESR (<0.1 ) capacitors should be used
at input and output. In general, the transfer capacitors (C1 and C2) will be the smallest; a 1-µF value is
recommended for maximum load operation. With smaller capacitor values, the maximum possible load current
is reduced and the LinSkip threshold is lowered.
The input capacitor improves system efficiency by reducing the input impedance. It also stabilizes the input
current of the power source. The input capacitor should be chosen according to the power supply used and the
distance from the power source to the converter IC. Ci is recommended to be about two to four times as large
as the flying capacitors C1 and C2.
The output capacitor (Co) should be at minimum the size of the input capacitor. The minimum required
capacitance is 2.2 µF. Larger values will improve the load transient performance and will reduce the maximum
output ripple voltage.
Only ceramic capacitors are recommended for input, output, and flying capacitors. Depending on the material
used to manufacture them, ceramic capacitors might lose their capacitance over temperature and voltage.
Ceramic capacitors of type X7R or X5R material will keep their capacitance over temperature and voltage,
whereas Z5U- or Y5V-type capacitors will decrease in capacitance. Table 2 lists the recommended capacitor
values.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
power dissipation
The power dissipated in the TPS6020x devices depends mainly on input voltage and output current and is
approximated by:
P(DISS) +IOxǒ2xV
I*VOǓfor I(Q) tIO(5)
By observing equation 5, it can be seen that the power dissipation is worst for highest input voltage VI and
highest output current IO. For an input voltage of 3.6 V and an output current of 100 mA the calculated power
dissipation P (DISS) is 390 mW. This is also the point where the charge pump operates with its lowest efficiency.
With the recommended maximum junction temperature of 125°C and an assumed maximum ambient operating
temperature of 85°C, the maximum allowed thermal resistance junction to ambient of the system can be
calculated.
RQJA(max) +TJ(MAX) *TA
PDISS(max) +125°C*85°C
390 mW +102°CńW(6)
PDISS must be less than that allowed by the package rating. The thermal resistance junction to ambient of the
used 10-pin MSOP is 294°C/W for an unsoldered package. The thermal resistance junction to ambient with
the IC soldered to a printed circuit using a board layout as described in the application information section, the
RΘJA is typically 200°C/W, which is higher than the maximum value calculated above. However, in a battery
powered application, both VI and TA will typically be lower than the worst case ratings used in equation 6 , and
power dissipation should not be a problem in most applications.
layout and board space
Careful board layout is necessary due to the high transient currents and switching frequency of the converter.
All capacitors should be placed in close proximity to the device. A PCB layout proposal for a one-layer board
is given in Figure 17. There is no specific EVM available for the TPS60204. However, the TPS60200EVM−145
can be used to evaluate the device.
The evaluation module for the TPS60200 can be ordered under product code TPS60200EVM−145. The EVM
uses the layout shown in Figure 17. All components including the pins are shown. The EVM is built so that it
can be connected to a 14-pin dual inline socket, therefore, the space needed for the IC, the external parts, and
eight pins is 17,9 mm x 10,2 mm = 182,6 mm2.
