3 Description

TPSM8281x is a family of pin-to-pin, 3A and

4A compatible, high-efficiency, and easy to use

synchronous step-down DC/DC power modules with

integrated inductors. The devices are based on a

fixed-frequency peak current-mode control topology

and they support high power density requirements

for telecommunication, test and measurement, and

medical applications. Low resistance switches allow

up to 4A continuous output current at high ambient

temperatures. The switching frequency is externally

adjustable from 1.8MHz to 4MHz and can also

be synchronized to an external clock in the

same frequency range. In PFM/PWM mode, the

TPSM8281x maintains high efficiency across the

whole load range. The TPSM8281x provide 1%

output voltage accuracy in PWM mode, which enables

designing power supplies with high output voltage

accuracy. The SS/TR pin helps limiting inrush current

through a precise start-up ramp. It also supports

sequencing by tracking the output voltage to an

external source. The family is available in a 14-pin

μSIL package with nominal 3.0mm × 4.0mm footprint

and in a 13-pin MagPack package with nominal

2.5mm × 3.0mm footprint.
