3.8-V to 17-V, 8-A synchronous buck converter with D-CAP3 control

Overview

TopologyBuck Converter
Input voltage4.5-17 V
Output 11.2 V / 8 A
IC revision1.0

Description

The TPS568231 is a single, D-CAP3™ control mode, synchronous buck converter requiring a very low external component count. The TPS568231 is a high efficiency, cost effective, low quiescent current synchronous buck converter with integrated FETs. A mode pin is used to select output current limit, switching frequency, and forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation. The device uses DCAP3 control mode to provide a fast transient response, good line, load regulation, no requirement for external compensation, and supports low ESR output capacitors. Additionally, the TPS568231 provides adjustable soft start, undervoltage lockout inputs and a power-good output. Rated input voltage and output current ranges for the evaluation module are given in Table 1-1.The TPS568231EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a single, synchronous buck converter providing 1.2 V at 8 A from 4.5-V to 17-V input. This user’s guide describes the TPS568231EVM performance.
