3 Description

The TPS40422 is a dual-output PMBus protocol,

synchronous buck controller. It can be configured also

for a single, two-phase output.

The wide input range supports 5-V and 12-V

intermediate buses. The accurate reference voltage

satisfies the need of precision voltage to the modern

ASICs and potentially reduces the output capacitance.

Voltage mode control reduces noise sensitivity and

also ensures low duty ratio conversion.
