3 Description

TheTPS54418A device is a full-featured 6-V, 4-A,

synchronous, step-down, current mode converter with

two integrated MOSFETs.

The TPS54418A device enables small designs by

integrating the MOSFETs, implementing current

mode control to reduce external component count,

reducing inductor size by enabling up to 2-MHz

switching frequency, and minimizing the device

footprint with a small, 3 mm × 3 mm, thermally

enhanced, QFN package.

The TPS54418A device provides accurate regulation

for a variety of loads with an accurate ±1% voltage

reference (VREF) over temperature.

Efficiency is maximized through the integrated 30-mΩ

MOSFETs and a 350-μA typical supply current. Using

the enable pin, shutdown supply current is reduced to

2 μA by entering a shutdown mode.

Undervoltage lockout is internally set at 2.6 V, but

can be increased by programming the threshold with

a resistor network on the enable pin. The output

voltage start-up ramp is controlled by the soft-start

pin. An open-drain power good signal indicates the

output is within 93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.

Frequency foldback and thermal shutdown protects

the device during an overcurrent condition.
