SLUSBV0A May 2014 – JULY 2014 TPS40428
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS40428 device is fully supported by Texas Instruments Digital Power Designer. Fusion digital Power Designer is a graphical user interface (GUI) which can be used to configure and monitor the TPS40428 device via PMBus using a Texas Instruments USB-to-GPIO adaptor.

At dual-output application, the TPS40428 device is a voltage mode controller; it is supported by the Texas Instruments TPS40k Loop Compensation Tool. The spreadsheet tool can be used to calculate frequency compensation components.
For multi-phase applications, the current information is applied to control loop to achieve current sharing between phases, the TPS40428 device is not a pure voltage mode controller any more. The compensation components value calculated in the spreadsheet tool can be used as a starting point.
Due to the component variation, PCB parasitic impedance, and layout impact, it is best to optimize the compensation components value based on measurement.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
