TPS63036YFGT by Texas Instruments

The TPS63036YFGT is a high-efficiency, low quiescent current, buck-boost converter suitable for applications where the input voltage can be higher or lower than the output voltage. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this versatile power management integrated circuit (PMIC) is designed to extend battery life in portable devices by providing a stable and efficient voltage supply.

The TPS63036YFGT operates over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it an ideal choice for systems powered by Li-Ion or Li-polymer batteries. Its adjustable output voltage range, from 2.5V to 5V, allows for flexibility in powering a variety of low-power circuits and devices. With a 2A maximum output current, this converter can handle moderate to high power requirements with ease.

This device features a switch-mode buck-boost topology, which maintains high efficiency across the entire input voltage range. The efficiency is typically above 90% for most operating conditions, significantly reducing thermal loss and improving overall system performance. The TPS63036YFGT's low quiescent current of 50µA (typical) during operation is particularly beneficial for battery-powered applications, as it minimizes the drain on the battery when the device is in standby or light-load conditions.

The TPS63036YFGT is packaged in a compact 9-ball NanoFree™ chip scale package (CSP), which is well-suited for space-constrained applications. The small form factor, combined with a minimal number of external components required for operation, makes it easy to integrate into a variety of portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology.

Additional features include power-save mode for improved efficiency at light loads, a 1.5MHz fixed switching frequency to minimize the size of external components, and over-temperature and over-current protection to safeguard the device and the system under extreme conditions. The TPS63036YFGT is a reliable and robust solution for designers looking to optimize power management in their next-generation portable electronics.
