Low-input boost for single-cell and supercap rails
The Texas Instruments TPS61010DGSRG4 is a step-up (boost) converter designed to generate a regulated output from a low-voltage input rail. Synchronous rectification reduces the external diode count and improves efficiency at lower output voltages.
Switching frequency and thermal envelope
The 500 kHz switching frequency is a practical middle ground — high enough to keep inductor and capacitor sizes small, low enough to avoid excessive switching losses.
