To create a buck-boost converter that outputs 5V @ 800mA from a Li-Ion battery using the TPS631011, you will generally follow these steps:
1. Component Selection
- TPS631011 IC: This is the main buck-boost converter IC.
- Input Capacitors: To stabilize the input supply line and filter high-frequency noise. Typically, ceramic capacitors with low ESR values are recommended.
- Output Capacitors: To filter the output and improve transient response. Again, low ESR capacitors are preferred.
- Inductor: Vital for energy storage and transfer. Select an inductor based on the operating frequency and current rating recommended by the TPS631011 datasheet.
- Feedback Resistors: These set the output voltage. The values are determined based on the TPS631011's feedback loop requirements.
- Supplementary Components: These could include bypass capacitors for stability, a Schottky diode for enhanced efficiency in certain designs (optional based on the integrated circuit capabilities), and any additional components the TPS631011 datasheet suggests for optimal performance.
- Connect the Input: Attach the Li-Ion battery (+) to the VIN pin of the TPS631011, and the battery (-) to the ground (GND).
- Output Capacitors: Connect the output capacitors between the TPS631011’s VOUT and GND.
- Input Capacitors: Place the input capacitors close to the VIN and GND pins.
- Inductor: Connect one end of the inductor to the SW pin of the TPS631011 and the other end to the VOUT.
- Feedback Network: Connect the feedback resistors in a voltage divider configuration from VOUT to FB, and then from FB to GND. The values of these resistors will be based on the output voltage requirement, which, in your case, is 5V.
- Bypass Capacitors: It's a good practice to place a small ceramic capacitor (e.g., 100nF) close to the IC's power pins for stability.
- Keep the loop area formed by the inductor, capacitors, and the TPS631011 as small as possible to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Place input and output capacitors as close to the TPS631011 as feasible.
- Ensure the feedback network traces are kept short and away from noisy areas to avoid interference.
- Once the circuit is assembled, test it with a variable load to ensure it can maintain a stable 5V output at up to 800mA.
- Adjust the feedback resistors as needed to fine-tune the output voltage.
- Make sure the components you select (especially the inductor and capacitors) can handle the input and output current requirements.
- Review the thermal management recommendations in the TPS631011 datasheet. Ensure your design keeps the IC within its operating temperature range under full load conditions.
This guideline gives you a starting point for designing your buck-boost converter. Always consult the TPS631011 datasheet for specific recommendations and examples that may enhance your design's performance and efficiency.
