3 Description

The TPS543A26 is a high-efficiency 18-V, 16-A

synchronous buck converter 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 device is capable of

providing high efficiency while operating at a switching

frequency up to 2.2 MHz, making it optimal for

designs requiring a small solution size. The fixed

frequency controller can operate from 500 kHz to

2.2 MHz and can be synchronized to an external

clock using the SYNC pin. Additional features include

a high accuracy voltage reference, two-wire remote

sense, 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.

The TPS543A26 is available in a small 2.5-mm × 4.5-

mm HotRod™ WQFN-FCRLF package.
