JAJS204S December 2005 – November 2024 TPS74401
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS74401 is capable of operating without a bias rail if VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO (VBIAS). Additional capacitance is advised for this scenario, with at least 4.7µF of capacitance near the input pin. Figure 7-13 shows a typical application of the TPS74401 without an auxiliary bias.
If using the TPS74401 in this situation and under high load conditions, check that the printed circuit board (PCB) provides adequate thermal handling capabilities to keep the device in the recommended operating range. See the Power Supply Recommendations section for more information.
