TPS542A50 15 A Synchronous SWIFT™ Step-Down Converter

Texas Instruments' 4 V to 18 V input buck converter features differential remote sense and I2C

Image of Texas Instruments' TPS542A50 Synchronous SWIFT™ Step-Down ConverterTexas Instruments' TPS542A50 is a high-efficiency synchronous buck converter with differential remote sense and I2C. This device features fixed-frequency voltage-control mode with pin strap selectable internal compensation for reduced system cost and complexity. The PWM can be synchronized to an external clock through the SYNC pin. Other key features include PFM for high light-load efficiency, low shutdown quiescent current draw, adjustable UVLO through the EN pin, and monotonic start-up into pre-biased conditions. This device features an I2C interface for device configuration and output voltage adjustment. The TPS542A50 is a lead-free device and is RoHS-compliant without exemption.
