The TPS61200DRCT is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the TPS612xx family, designed by Texas Instruments. It is a high-efficiency step-up (boost) voltage converter that can generate an output voltage up to 5.5V from a input voltage as low as 0.3V. This boost converter is widely utilized in numerous applications to efficiently power low voltage electronic devices.
One of the key features of the TPS61200DRCT is its high efficiency, achieved by employing a high-frequency, synchronous rectification. This allows the IC to deliver higher output currents with minimal power loss. Additionally, it incorporates a bypass mode, which allows the input voltage to bypass the converter and directly power the load when it is already greater than the desired output voltage.
The TPS61200DRCT offers a wide input voltage range, making it suitable for battery-powered applications utilizing single-cell Li-Ion, Li-Polymer, and even alkaline or NiMH batteries. It has an input voltage range of 0.3V to 5.5V, with an adjustable output voltage range from 1.2V to 5.5V.
To ensure optimal performance, the IC includes a feedback pin that allows for adjustable output voltage regulation. This feature enables designers to select the desired output voltage accurately, ensuring compatibility with various components
