APPLICATION INFORMATION
TPS6013x operated with ultra-low quiescent current
Because the output of the TPS6013x is isolated from the input when the devices are disabled, and because the
internal resistive divider is disconnected in shutdown, an ultra-low quiescent current mode can be implemented.
In this mode, the output voltage is sustained because the converter is periodically enabled to refresh the output
capacitor. The necessary external control signal that is applied to the ENABLE-pin is generated from a
microcontroller. For a necessary supply current for the system of 1 mA and a minimum supply voltage of 4.5
V with a 33-µF output capacitor, the refresh has to be done after 9 ms. Longer refresh periods can be achieved
with a larger output capacitor.

regulated discharge of the output capacitors after disabling of the TPS6013x
During shutdown of the charge pump TPS6013x the output is isolated from the input. Therefore the discharging
of the output capacitor depends on the load and on the leakage current of the capacitor. In certain applications
it is necessary to completely remove the supply voltage from the load in shutdown mode. That means the output
capacitor of the charge pump has to be actively discharged when the charge pump is disabled. Figure 10 shows
one solution to this problem.
