Part Number:TPS61200
I was reading an application note SLVA315 on providing reverse battery protection for single cell 1.5V batteries. It uses the Vaux pin from the TPS61200 to pull up the gate of low side mosfet allowing you to start up from a voltage as low as 0.5V. Unfortunately the SLVA315 doesn't have enough output current for my application so I was thinking of only using the Vaux output from this device.
If I do this can I get rid of the inductor? Or perhaps shrink it to something very tiny? Then I was thinking I could get rid of all of the feedback and output caps as well.
Thanks!
