JAJSGR0F December 2010 – December 2018 TPS51916
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS51916 device supports two SMPS control architectures, D-CAP™ mode and D-CAP2™ mode. Both control modes do not require complex external compensation networks and are suitable for designs with small external components counts. The D-CAP™ mode provides fast transient response with appropriate amount of equivalent series resistance (ESR) on the output capacitors. The D-CAP2™ mode is dedicated for a configuration with very low ESR output capacitors such as multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). For the both modes, an adaptive on-time control scheme is used to achieve pseudo-constant frequency. The TPS51916 device adjusts the on-time (tON) to be inversely proportional to the input voltage (VIN) and proportional to the output voltage (VVDDQ). This makes a switching frequency fairy constant over the variation of input voltage at the steady state condition. These control modes and switching frequencies are selected by the MODE pin described in Table 2.
