Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS61178
Hi TI,
I have an application in which I would like to boost voltage from Li-ion battery (2.7 - 4.2V) to power a load that needs 6V and upto 2.5A. I was looking at different boost converter option and came accross TPS61288. I wonder if it's a good choice for my application and if this is the latest product from TI.
I have two questions related to the datasheet:
1. Section 9.1 shows that I can output upto 13V and 2.3A. Does this mean that at 6V, I can output higher current?
2. In section 10, it says that the input power supply must be regulated, this seems to indicate that using a battery to supply input voltage is not a good choice. If it's the case, what will be a better option to boost and regulate output voltage from battery?
Thank you,
Khoi Ly
