TI TPS63802 High Efficiency, High Output Current Buck/Boost Converter. Depending on the input voltage, it automatically operates in boost, buck, or the new 4-cycle buck/boost mode when the input voltage is approximately equal to the output voltage. Mode switching is performed within a defined threshold to avoid unnecessary intra-mode switching to reduce output voltage ripple. The output voltage of these devices is individually adjustable over a wide output voltage range with resistive dividers. Quiescent current of 11µA enables excellent efficiency at ultra-low and even no-load conditions.
