3 Description

The TPS7H4011 is a 14V, 12A synchronous buck

converter optimized for use in a space environment.

The peak current mode converter obtains high

efficiency with good transient performance and

reduced component count.

The wide voltage range of the TPS7H4011 enables

it to be used as a point of load regulator to convert

directly from a 12V or 5V rail. The output voltage

start-up ramp is controlled by the SS_TR pin. Power

sequencing is possible with the EN and PWRGD pins.

The device can be configured with up-to four devices

in parallel without an external clock for increased

current capabilities. Additionally, various features

are included such as differential remote sensing,

selectable current limit, a flexible fault input pin, and

configurable compensation.
