Complete Solution

The DC/DC converters in Table 7-1 are ideal for powering PLCs and sub-systems. These converters feature high efficiency, good thermal performance, and tight VFB accuracy. Devices with the same package are pin compatible for design flexibility unless noted with a different feature in the comment column. Texas Instrument also has a wide variety of products and reference designs to solve design challenges for PLC applications5. Reference designs, such as the discrete power solution for AM437x Sitara family show possible ways of integrating TI devices into such sub-systems.
