System-On-Chip-solutions. The TPS62730 reduces
the current consumption drawn from the battery
during TX and RX mode by a high efficient step down
voltage conversion. It provides up to 100mA output
current and allows the use of tiny and low cost chip
inductors and capacitors. With an input voltage range
of 1.9V to 3.9V the device supports Li-primary battery
chemistries such as Li-SOCl2, Li-SO2, Li-MnO2 and
also two cell alkaline batteries.

The TPS62730 features an Ultra Low Power bypass
mode with typical 30nA current consumption to
support sleep and low power modes of TI's CC2540
Bluetooth Low Energy and CC430 System-On-Chip
solutions. In this bypass mode, the output capacitor
of the DC/DC converter is connected via an
integrated typ. 2.1Ω Bypass switch to the battery.

APPLICATIONS
In DC/DC operation mode the device provides a
regulated output voltage of 2.1V to the system. With a
switch frequency up to 3MHz, the TPS62730 features
low output ripple voltage and low noise even with a
small 2.2uF output capacitor. The automatic transition
into bypass mode during DC/DC operation prevents
an increase of output ripple voltage and noise once
the DC/DC converter operates close to 100% duty
cycle. The device automatically enters bypass mode
once the battery voltage falls below the transition
threshold VIT BYP . The TPS62730 is available in a 1 ×
1.5mm2 6 pin QFN package.
