10 Power Supply Recommendations

The TPS54020 operates from a controller bias voltage supply between 4.5 V and 17 V, and a power stage input voltage between 1.6 V and 17 V. The TPS54020 is designed to support either split-rail or single-supply operation, and may be operated from separate PVIN and VIN voltages. Proper bypassing of input supplies and internal regulators is also critical for noise performance, as is PCB layout and grounding scheme. See the recommendations in Section 11 and Section 6.
