3 Description

The TPS56837 is a high-efficiency, easy-to-use,

synchronous buck converter with a wide input voltage

range of 4.5 V to 28 V, and supports up to 8-A

continuous output current at output voltages between

0.6 V and 13 V.

The TPS56837 uses D-CAP3 control mode to

provide fast transient response, good line and load

regulation, no requirement for external compensation,

and supports low equivalent series resistance (ESR)

output capacitors like MLCC.

The TPS56837 operates at Eco-mode to attain

high efficiency at light load with three selectable

switching frequencies: 550 kHz, 880 kHz, and 1300

kHz and selectable current limit through MODE pin

configuration. The TPS56837 has adjustable soft-start

time with default 1.8 ms by SS pin.

The TPS56837 provides complete non-latched OV

(overvoltage), UV (undervoltage), OC (overcurrent),

OT (overtemperature) and UVLO (undervoltage

lockout) protections combined with power-good

indicator and output discharge function features.

The TPS56837 is available in a 10-pin 3.0-mm ×

3.0-mm HotRod QFN package, and the junction

temperature is specified from –40°C to 150°C.
