Product details
Overview
TPS61088RHLT from Texas Instruments is a fully-integrated synchronous boost converter IC designed for high-power portable systems, delivering up to 30 W from single- or dual-cell Li-ion batteries. It features a 10-A switch current capability, 2.7–12-V input range, 4.5–12.6-V output range, and operates in adaptive constant off-time peak current control topology with selectable PFM or forced PWM light-load modes.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61088RHLT datasheet, TPS61088RHLT pinout, TPS61088RHLT application, or TPS61088RHLT equivalent, key selection considerations include programmable peak current limit (via ILIM pin), adjustable switching frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), soft-start timing control (via SS pin), and integrated overvoltage (13.2 V) and thermal shutdown (150°C) protections.
Technical Context
The TPS61088RHLT implements adaptive constant off-time peak current control to achieve fast transient response with minimal output capacitance. Its quasi-constant-frequency PWM operation under moderate-to-heavy loads ensures stable regulation while enabling flexible inductor and capacitor selection via external loop compensation at the COMP pin.
In light-load conditions, mode selection via the MODE pin determines functional behavior: floating enables PFM for >80% efficiency down to 1 mA load, while grounding forces fixed-frequency PWM to suppress audible noise and avoid low-frequency interference-critical for Thunderbolt interface and Bluetooth speaker applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V - supports single-cell (3.0–4.2 V) and two-cell (6.0–8.4 V) Li-ion battery inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 12.6 V - configurable via FB resistor divider; enables USB PD-compatible 9-V and quick-charge power bank outputs. |
| Switch Current Limit | Programmable 9.0–13.0 A - set by external resistor on ILIM pin; allows optimization for inductor saturation margin and thermal design. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz - adjusted via resistor between FSW and SW pins; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase switching loss. |
| Efficiency | Up to 91% at VIN = 3.3 V, VOUT = 9 V, IOUT = 3 A - achieved using 11-mΩ high-side and 13-mΩ low-side MOSFETs in synchronous rectification. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.0 µA into VIN - enables ultra-low power-off state for e-cigarette and portable POS terminal battery conservation. |
| Output OVP Threshold | 13.2 V (typical) - latches off switching until VOUT falls below 12.95 V; protects downstream 12-V logic and analog circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS61088RHLT is housed in a thermally enhanced 4.50-mm × 3.50-mm, 20-pin VQFN package (RHL) with exposed thermal pad for PCB-level heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Primary supply input (2.7–12 V); connects to battery or DC source; requires ≥10-µF ceramic input capacitance. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-high active enable; internal 800-kΩ pull-down ensures default disable; supports system-level power sequencing. |
| SW | Switch node | Drain of low-side MOSFET / source of high-side MOSFET; connects to inductor and BOOT capacitor; handles high di/dt. |
| BOOT | High-side gate drive | Supplies gate voltage for high-side MOSFET; requires 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor to SW for charge pump operation. |
| SS | Soft-start control | Charged at 5 µA to ramp reference voltage; sets startup time (e.g., 47 nF → ~11.4 ms); prevents inrush current damage. |
| MODE | Light-load mode select | Floating = PFM (high efficiency); grounded = forced PWM (fixed frequency, no acoustic noise); no external pull required. |
| ILIM | Current limit programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets peak switch current; supports 9.0–13.0 A range depending on MODE pin state. |
| FB | Output voltage feedback | Compares divided VOUT against 1.204-V internal reference; sets output with ±0.7% accuracy across temperature. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | External RC network here sets loop stability; enables optimization for different L/CO combinations and load dynamics. |
| AGND / PGND | Signal / power ground | Separate AGND (analog reference) and PGND (high-current return) minimize noise coupling into feedback path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 11-mΩ / 13-mΩ MOSFETs | Enables >30-W output from 3.3-V input with minimal conduction loss and no external power stage components. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for TPS61088RHLT to start switching?
The TPS61088RHLT has an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 2.4 V (falling) with 200-mV hysteresis. Therefore, the device begins switching when VIN rises above 2.7 V and remains operational down to 2.4 V before disabling. This ensures reliable startup from partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries while preventing deep discharge damage.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and noise performance in TPS61088RHLT?
When the MODE pin is left floating, the TPS61088RHLT enters PFM mode at light loads, achieving >80% efficiency down to 1 mA by reducing switching frequency-ideal for standby in e-cigarettes. When grounded, it forces fixed-frequency PWM, eliminating variable-frequency coil whine in Bluetooth speakers but reducing light-load efficiency by ~10–15 percentage points.
Can TPS61088RHLT be used to generate 12.6 V output from a 3.6-V input?
Yes, the TPS61088RHLT supports output voltages up to 12.6 V across its full input range (2.7–12 V). At VIN = 3.6 V and VOUT = 12.6 V, it delivers up to ~2.3 A continuously (limited by thermal design and inductor saturation), verified in TI's typical application data. Output regulation accuracy remains within ±0.7% via the FB pin's 1.204-V reference.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on TPS61088RHLT, and how is it configured?
The ILIM pin on TPS61088RHLT sets the peak switch current limit via an external resistor to AGND. In PFM mode (MODE floating), RILIM = 1190 kΩ / ILIM; in forced PWM (MODE grounded), RILIM = (1190 kΩ / ILIM) × 1.6. For example, a 100-kΩ resistor yields ~11.9 A in PFM and ~10.3 A in FPWM-allowing precise current limiting for inductor and thermal design.
Does TPS61088RHLT require external compensation, and where is it connected?
Yes, the TPS61088RHLT uses external loop compensation for flexibility. The COMP pin connects to AGND through an RC network (typically 1–10-kΩ resistor + 100–1000-pF capacitor), enabling optimization for specific inductor DCR, output capacitance ESR, and transient response requirements-critical for stable operation across varying load and temperature conditions.
