# TPS630702RNMT Breakout Board

### Overview

The Boardoza TPS630702RNMT is a high-efficiency, wide-input range Buck-Boost converter module designed to provide a regulated output voltage from power sources that can be either higher or lower than the target output. Built around the Texas Instruments TPS630702 regulator engine, this board utilizes a fixed-frequency PWM controller with synchronous rectification to achieve efficiencies up to 95%.

This module is specifically engineered for dynamic power environments, such as battery-operated systems where the voltage degrades over time (e.g., a single Li-Ion cell discharging from 4.2V to 2.8V). Its seamless automatic transition between Buck (step-down) and Boost (step-up) modes ensures a stable power rail without the drop-outs associated with standard LDOs or single-topology switchers.

### Core Technical Specifications

The module is defined by the following operational parameters:

* Topology: Synchronous Buck-Boost Converter with automatic mode transition.
* Input Voltage Range: Extremely wide input support from 2.0V to 16V, accommodating diverse sources from dual alkaline cells to 12V automotive rails.
* Output Voltage: User-selectable presets via onboard jumpers. Default is 3.3V, with hardware configurability for 5V, 7.5V, and 9V.
* Current Capacity: Capable of delivering up to 2A continuous output current in both Buck and Boost modes (depending on Vin/Vout ratio).
* Efficiency: Peak efficiency rating of 95%, minimizing thermal waste in compact enclosures.
* Quiescent Current: Ultra-low standby current consumption (typically 50 µA), critical for extending battery shelf life.
* Physical Dimensions: A standardized 40 mm x 60 mm PCB footprint.

### Key Engineering Features

#### Seamless Buck-Boost Transition

The core advantage of this module is its ability to maintain a fixed output voltage while the input voltage crosses the regulation threshold. For example, when powering a 3.3V system from a Li-Po battery (4.2V to 3.0V), the module starts in Buck mode and automatically switches to Boost mode as the battery drains, extracting the maximum possible energy from the cell.

#### Configurable Power Modes

To optimize performance for specific loads, the board includes a PS/SYNC jumper.

* Power Save Mode (PSM): Improves efficiency at light loads by reducing switching frequency (PFM), ideal for idle microcontrollers.
* Forced PWM Mode: Maintains a fixed switching frequency for low output ripple and low noise, which is preferable for sensitive analog or audio circuits.

#### Integrated System Protection

The module features a robust safety architecture including Output Overvoltage Protection, Overtemperature Shutdown, and Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO). Notably, it includes a "Load Disconnect" feature during shutdown, which physically isolates the output from the input to prevent battery leakage currents.
