11 Power Supply Recommendations

The TPS62736 / 7 ICs require a low impedance power source (e.g. battery, wall adapter) capable of providng between 2.0 V and 5.5 V and up to 100 mA / 370 mA respectively. When the voltage at IN is less than or equal to VOUT, the IC stops switching, turns on the high side FET and provides VOUT = VIN - ILOAD x RDS(on)-HighSideFET.
