3 Description

The TPSM843A26 is a high-efficiency 18-V, 16-A

synchronous buck module employing an internally

compensated, fixed-frequency advanced current

mode (ACM) control architecture, which while always

operating under FCCM, generates output voltages

from 0.5 V to 7 V. The module is capable of

providing high efficiency while operating at a switching

frequency up to 2.2 MHz. The module is in a 6.5-mm

x 7.5-mm x 4-mm over-molded package, which makes

it optimal for designs requiring a small solution size.

Additional features include a high accuracy voltage

reference, selectable soft-start times, monotonic startup

into prebiased outputs, selectable current limits,

adjustable UVLO through the EN pin, and a full suite

of fault protections.
