PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS40425 device is a PMBus synchronous buck driverless controller. It can be configured as a dual-output or single output two phase. It is also stackable up to 4 phases to support load current as high as 120 A. Interleaved phase shift for 2-, 3-, or 4-phase operation reduces the input and output ripples therefore reducing input and output capacitance.
When operating in dual-output mode, the device implements voltage mode control with input feed-forward architecture. With this architecture, the benefits are less noise sensitivity, no control instability issues for small DCR applications, and a smaller minimum controllable on-time, often desired for high conversion ratio applications. In multi-phase mode, the device implements a current-sharing loop to ensure a balance of current between phases.
The wide input voltage range supports 5-V and 12-V intermediate buses. The 0.5% reference voltage satisfies the need for precision voltage required by modern ASICs. PMBus functionality allows the TPS40425 device to program margining function, reference voltage, fault limit, UVLO threshold, soft-start time and turn-on delay time and turn-off delay time. In addition, an accurate measurement system monitors the output voltages, currents and temperatures for individual channels.
