Chapter 3—Capacitor Selection and Measurements Related Documentation From Texas Instruments The evaluation module (EVM) for the new Texas Instruments (TI) TPS60300 to TPS60303 charge pump devices helps designers evaluate these devices. With these EVMs it is possible to evaluate all different modes of the devices as well as their performance.
Chapter 1 Introduction The Texas Instruments TPS6030x charge pumps are regulated voltage converters intended for use with a single NiCd, NiMH, or alkaline cell. The TPS60300 and TPS60302 have an output voltage of 3.3 V from an input signal between 0.9 V and 1.8 V. The TPS60301 and TPS60303 have an output voltage of 3 V from an input voltage between 0.9 V and 1.8 V.
1.1 Basic Operation of the Device The TPS6030x series are charge pumps working either in a tripler or in a quadrupler mode. They consist of an unregulated doubler stage with its capacitors C FLY1 . Its output voltage can be found at OUT1. The voltage at OUT1 is OUT1 internally connected to the input of a regulated charge pump that works in a ×1.5 or ×2 mode, respectively.
2.2 EVM Layout Figure 2−2. EVM Board Layout Figure 2−2 shows the placement of the components of the EVM. Components are only placed on the top layer of the board. The size of the EVM is 42,0 x 33,0 mm (1386 mm ), which is much larger than required for the IC and its capacitors.
Bill of Materials 2.3 Setup of the EVM For proper operation of the EVM, use the following steps: 1) Connect a load to the output (between GND and OUT2). TPS60300, TPS60302: >165 Ω or 0 mA to 20 mA at VIN ≥ 1.1 V >330 Ω...
