The TIDA-050033 reference design demonstrates the backup power supply solution for smart meter PLC module. By using a cost-effective boost converter TLV61048: minimum operating voltage is extended to maximize super capacitor usage rate. Smaller size (lower capacitance) super capacitor could be selected hence the total bill of material (BOM) is reduced.
