3 Description

The TPS51386 is a monolithic, 8-A, synchronous

buck converter with adaptive on-time D-CAP3 control

mode. Integrated low RDS(on) power MOSFETs enable

high efficiency and offer ease-of-use with minimum

external component count for space-constrained

power systems. Features include an accurate

reference voltage, fast load transient response, autoskip

mode operation for light load efficiency, OOA light

load operation with > 25-kHz switching frequency, DCAP3

control mode with good line, load regulation,

and does not require external compensation.

The TPS51386 provides complete protection OVP,

UVP, OCP, OTP, and UVLO. The device is a

combined power-good signal and output discharge

function.

The TPS51386 supports both internal and external

soft-start time option. The device has the internal

fixed soft-start time 1 ms. If the application needs

longer soft-start time, the external SS pin can be used

to achieve longer soft-start time by connecting the

external capacitor.

The TPS51386 are available in a thermally enhanced

12-pin QFN package and are designed to operate

from –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
