DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Main Boost Converter
The main boost converter operates with PWM and a fixed switching frequency of 1.6 MHz. The converter uses a
unique fast response, voltage mode controller scheme with input voltage feedforward. This achieves excellent
line and load regulation (0.2% A load regulation typical) and allows the use of small external components. To add
higher flexibility to the selection of external component values the device uses external loop compensation.
Although the boost converter looks like a nonsynchronous boost converter topology operating in discontinuous
mode at light load, the TPS65100/05 maintains continuous conduction even at light load currents.
VCOM Buffer
VCOMIN is the input of the VCOM buffer. If the VCOM buffer is not required for certain applications, it is possible
to shut down the VCOM buffer by statically connecting VCOMIN to ground, reducing the overall quiescent
current. The VCOM buffer features soft start avoiding a large voltage drop at Vo1 during start-up. The VCOMIN
cannot be pulled dynamically to ground during operation.
Enable and Power On Sequencing (EN, ENR)
The device has two enable pins. These pins should be terminated and not left floating to prevent unpredictable
operation. Pulling the enable pin (EN) high enables the device and starts the power on sequencing with the main
boost converter Vo1 coming up first then the negative and positive charge pumps and the VCOM buffer. If the
VCOMIN pin is held low, the VCOM buffer remains disabled. The linear regulator has an independent enable pin
(ENR). Pulling this pin low disables the regulator, and pulling this pin high enables this regulator.

The TPS65100/05 consists of a main boost converter operating with a fixed switching frequency of 1.6 MHz to
allow for small external components. The boost converter output voltage Vo1 is also the input voltage, connected
via the pin SUP, for the positive and negative charge pumps and the bias supply for the VCOM buffer. The linear
regulator controller is independent from this system with its own enable pin. This allows the linear regulator
controller to continue to operate while the other supply rails are disabled or in shutdown due to a fault condition
on one of their outputs. See the functional block diagram for more information.
This is achieved with a unique architecture using an external Schottky diode and an integrated MOSFET in
parallel connected between SW and SUP (see the functional block diagram). The integrated MOSFET Q2 allows
the inductor current to become negative at light load conditions. For this purpose, a small integrated P-channel
MOSFET with typically 10
r
DSon
is sufficient. When the inductor current is positive, the external Schottky diode
with the lower forward voltage conducts the current. This causes the converter to operate with a fixed frequency
in continuous conduction mode over the entire load current range. This avoids the ringing on the switch pin as
seen with a standard nonsynchronous boost converter and allows a simpler compensation for the boost
converter.
