Description
For the conventional synchronous boost converter the output voltage follows the input voltage when theconverter is disabled. This behavior increases power loss due to the leakage current flowing through thefeedback divider and the post-load. The TPS61178x device is a 20-V 10-A boost converter that integratesa circuitry to drive an external P-FET to isolate the output side from the input si
