7.4.4 Boost Control Operation

The TLV612901 boost converter is controlled by a hysteretic current mode. This controller regulates the output voltage by keeping the inductor ripple current constant around 1.0A and adjusting the offset of this inductor current depending on the output load. Because the input voltage, output voltage and inductor value all affect the rising and falling slopes of inductor ripple current, the switching frequency is not fixed and is determined by the operation condition.

At light load, the TLV612901 implements three operating modes, auto PFM, forced PWM and ultrasonic mode, to meet different application requirements. The operating mode is set by changing the state of the MODE_CTRL bit through I2C. When MODE_CTRL = 00, the device operates in auto PFM mode. When MODE_CTRL = 01, the device operates in Ultrasonic mode. When MODE_CTRL = 10 or 11, the device operates in forced PWM mode. For this device, the recommended inductance range is 330nH to 560nH.
