Texas Instruments TPS568230 | Demoboard TPS568230EVM

Description

The TPS568230 is a cost effective, high-voltage input, high efficiency synchronous buck converter with integrated FETs. The key feature of the TPS568230 is its ULQ™ (Ultra Low Quiescent) feature to enable low-bias current and large duty operation. The ULQ™ feature is extremely beneficial for long battery life in low power operation. The TPS568230 operates with supply input voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 18 V. It uses DCAP3™ control mode to provide a fast transient response, good line, load regulation, no requirement for external compensation, and supports low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output capacitors such as specialty polymer and ultra-low ESR ceramic capacitors.The TPS568230 provides complete protection OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP and UVLO. It is combined power good signal and output discharge function. MODE pin in TPS568230 can be used to set Eco-mode™, OOA mode or FCCM mode for light load operation. And OOA mode operations with switching frequency larger than 25 kHz even no loading. The TPS568230 supports both internal and external soft-start time option. It has the internal fixed soft-start time 1.3 ms, if the application needs longer soft-start time, the external SS pin can be used to achieve it by connecting the external capacitor.The TPS568230 is available in a 20-pin 3.0-mm x 3.0-mm HotRod™ package and the junction temperature is specified from -40oC to 125oC.
