6.5 A switch — what the boost delivers
The 1 MHz switching frequency allows the use of a small inductor and output capacitor, keeping the total solution footprint compact — a typical design consideration for space-constrained portable or battery-powered equipment. Synchronous rectification is built in, which improves efficiency at moderate to heavy loads compared to a diode-based boost.
Package and temperature grade
Housed in a 9-VQFN-HR package measuring 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm, the TPS61236RWLR is a surface-mount device intended for reflow soldering.
