7.1 Overview

The TPSM336x5 is an easy-to-use, synchronous buck, DC-DC power module that operates from a 3-V to 36-V supply voltage. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 5-V, 12-V, 24-V, and 36-V supply rails, as example. With an integrated buck controller, inductor, boot capacitor, and MOSFETs, the TPSM336x5 delivers up to 2.5-A DC load current with high efficiency and ultra-low input quiescent current in a very small solution size. Although designed for simple implementation, this device offers flexibility to optimize its usage according to the target application. Control-loop compensation is not required, reducing design time and external component count.

The TPSM336x5 can operate over a wide range of switching frequencies and duty ratios. If the minimum ON-time or OFF-time cannot support the desired duty ratio, the switching frequency gets reduced automatically, maintaining the output voltage regulation. In addition, the PGOOD output feature with built-in delayed release allows the elimination of the reset supervisor in many applications.

With a programmable switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz using its RT pin or an external clock signal, the TPSM336x5 incorporates specific features to improve EMI performance in noise-sensitive applications:

  • An optimized package that incorporates flip chip on lead (FCOL) technology and pinout design enables a shielded switch-node layout that mitigates radiated EMI.
  • Dual-Random Spread Spectrum (DRSS) modulation reduces peak emissions.
  • Clock synchronization and FPWM mode enable constant switching frequency across the load current range.

  • Inductor and boot capacitor integration

Together, these features can eliminate the need for any common-mode choke, shielding, and input filter inductor, greatly reducing the complexities and cost of the EMI/EMC mitigation measures.

The TPSM336x5 module also includes inherent protection features for robust system requirements:

  • An open-drain PGOOD indicator for power-rail sequencing and fault reporting
  • Precision enable input with hysteresis, providing:
    • Programmable line undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
    • Remote ON and OFF capability
  • Internally fixed output-voltage soft start with monotonic start-up into prebiased loads
  • Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection with cycle-by-cycle peak and valley current limits
  • Thermal shutdown with automatic recovery

These features enable a flexible and easy-to-use platform for a wide range of applications. The pin arrangement is designed for a simple layout, requiring few external components. See Layout for a layout example.
