3 Description
TPSM8281x are a family of pin-to-pin, 1A, 2A, 3A,
4A, and 6A compatible high efficiency and easy to
use synchronous step-down DC/DC power modules
with integrated inductors. The devices are based on
a fixed-frequency peak current-mode control topology.
The devices are used in telecommunication, test and
measurement, and medical applications with high
power density and ease of use requirements. Low
resistance switches allow up to 6A continuous output
current at high ambient temperatures. The switching
frequency is externally adjustable from 1.8MHz to
4MHz and can also be synchronized to an external
clock in the same frequency range. In power save
mode, the TPSM8281x automatically enters PFM at
light loads to maintain high efficiency across the
whole load range. The TPSM8281x provides a 1%
output voltage accuracy in PWM mode which helps
design a power supply with high output voltage
accuracy. The SS/TR pin sets the start-up time or
tracks the output voltage to an external source. This
action allows external sequencing of different supply
rails and limits the inrush current during start-up.
