3 Description

The TPS84A20 is an easy-to-use integrated power

solution that combines a 10-A DC/DC converter with

power MOSFETs, an inductor, and passives into a

low profile, QFN package. This total power solution

allows as few as three external components and

eliminates the loop compensation and magnetics part

selection process.

The 10-mm × 10-mm × 4.3-mm QFN package is easy

to solder onto a printed circuit board and allows a

compact point-of-load design. Achieves greater than

95% efficiency and excellent power dissipation

capability with a thermal impedance of 13.3°C/W. The

TPS84A20 offers the flexibility and the feature-set of

a discrete point-of-load design and is ideal for

powering a wide range of ICs and systems.

Advanced packaging technology affords a robust and

reliable power solution compatible with standard QFN

mounting and testing techniques.
