3 Description

The TPS543A26T is a high-efficiency, 18V, 16A,

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 0.5V to 7V. The device is capable of providing

high efficiency while operating at a switching

frequency up to 2.2MHz, making the device an

excellent choice for designs requiring a small design

size. The fixed frequency controller can operate from

500kHz to 2.2MHz 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

start-up into prebiased outputs, selectable current

limits, adjustable UVLO through the EN pin, and a full

suite of fault protections.

The TPS543A26T is available in a small 2.5mm ×

4.5mm HotRod™ WQFN-FCRLF package.
