SLVSF01B November 2018 – December 2020 TPS55288
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS55288 provides two N-channel MOSFET gate drivers for buck side. Each driver is capable of sourcing 1-A and sinking 1.8-A peak current. In buck operation, the DR1H pin and the DR1L pin are switched by the PWM controller. In boost mode, the DR1H pin remains at continuously high voltage to turn on the high-side MOSFET of the buck side, and the DR1L pin remains at continuously low voltage to turn off the low-side MOSFET of the buck side.
In DCM buck mode operation, the DR1L turns off the low-side FET when the inductor current drops to zero.
The low-side gate driver is powered from the VCC pin, and the high-side gate driver is powered from the bootstrap capacitor CBOOT1, which is between the BOOT1 pin and the SW1 pin.
