3 Description

The TPS54526 is an adaptive on-time D-CAP2™

mode synchronous buck converter. The TPS54526

enables system designers to complete the suite

of various end equipment’s power bus regulators

with a cost effective, low component count, low

standby current solution. The main control loop for

the TPS54526 uses the D-CAP2™ mode control

which provides a very fast transient response with

no external compensation components. The adaptive

on-time control supports seamless transition between

PWM mode at higher load conditions and Ecomode

™ operation at light loads. Eco-mode™ allows

the TPS54526 to maintain high efficiency during

lighter load conditions. The TPS54526 also has a

proprietary circuit that enables the device to adopt

to both low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output

capacitors, such as POSCAP, SP-CAP, and ultra-low

ESR ceramic capacitors. The device operates from

4.5-V to 18-V VIN input. The output voltage can be

programmed between 0.76V and 5.5V. The device

also features an adjustable soft start time and a power

good function. The TPS54526 is available in the 14-

pin HTSSOP package and the 16 pin QFN package,

designed to operate from –40°C to 85°C.
