Boost regulator for battery-backed rails
The Texas Instruments TPS61251DSGR is a boost converter IC designed for battery backup applications. It accepts a supply from 2.3V up to 6V, covering single-cell Li-ion, two-cell alkaline, or a 3.3V regulated bus that needs a boosted rail during mains dropout. Quiescent supply current is 30µA typical, which keeps the battery drain low enough that the backup rail stays alive for extended periods without recharging the cell.
