SLUSBO6C JANUARY 2014 – October 2018 TPS40425
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS40425 device can be configured to operate in dual-output mode or 2-phase mode. It is also stackable up to four phases. Table 3 lists the operating modes that are supported by the TPS40425.
OPERATION | LOCATION | CHANNEL | |
---|---|---|---|
Dual-output | Within a single device | CH1 = Master, CH2 = Master | |
Two-phase | Within a single device | CH1 = Master, CH2 = Slave | |
Three-phase | Between two devices | IC1 | CH1 = Master, CH2 = Slave2 |
IC2 | CH1 = Slave1, CH2 = Independent | ||
Four-phase | Between two devices | IC1 | CH1 = Master, CH2 = Slave2 |
IC2 | CH1 = Slave1, CH2 = Slave3 |
The TPS40425 device uses the remote sense amplifier of master channel to compensate for the parasitic offset to provide an accurate output voltage.
NOTE
In multi-phase operation, FB pins of slave channels must be tied to the BP5 pin of the particular device. The COMP pins of all channels in the same rail are tied together, and ISH pins are tied together, to ensure current sharing between channels. FLT pins are tied together to ensure all channels in the same rail shut down in case a fault occurs on any channel.
In 3-phase and 4-phase operation, the SYNC pins of two devices are tied together, and PHSET pins of two devices are tied together to ensure phase shift between phases.
