3 Description
The TPS6216x device family are easy to use
synchronous step-down DC/DC converters optimized
for applications with high power density. A high
switching frequency of typically 2.25 MHz allows the
use of small inductors and provides fast transient
response as well as high output voltage accuracy by
utilization of the DCS-Control™ topology.
With its wide operating input voltage range of 3 V to
17 V, the devices are ideally suited for systems
powered from either a Li-Ion or other battery as well
as from 12-V intermediate power rails. It supports up
to 1-A continuous output current at output voltages
between 0.9 V and 6 V (with 100% duty cycle mode).
Power sequencing is also possible by configuring the
enable and open-drain power good pins.
In power save mode, the devices show quiescent
current of about 17 μA from VIN. Power save mode,
entered automatically and seamlessly if the load is
small, maintains high efficiency over the entire load
range. In shutdown mode, the device is turned off
and shutdown current consumption is less than 2 μA.
The device, available in adjustable and fixed output
voltage versions, is packaged in an 8-pin WSON
package measuring 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm (DSG) or 8-
pin VSSOP package measuring 3.00 mm x 3.00 mm
(DGK).
