TPS63020: Can it support VIN=6.5V?

Part Number: TPS63020

Tool/software:

The TPS63020 SPEC recommends a VIN of 5.5V, but the maximum Vin can be 7V. If I use two CR123s in series (6V input), is that OK?

  • Hello,

    It's not okay. The switching regulator needs margin to withstand voltage overshoot caused by switching ringing. 6V input might work in the beginning but will affect reliability at last.
