6.1 Overview

The TPS40170-Q1 device is a synchronous PWM buck controller that accepts a wide range of input voltages from 4.5 V to 60 V and features voltage-mode control with input-voltage feed-forward compensation. The switching frequency is programmable from 100 kHz to 600 kHz.

The TPS40170-Q1 device has a complete set of system protections such as programmable UVLO, programmable overcurrent protection (OCP), selectable short-circuit protection (SCP), and thermal shutdown. The ENABLE pin allows for system shutdown in a low-current (1-µA typical) mode. The controller supports pre-biased outputs, provides an open-drain PGOOD signal, and has closed-loop programmable soft-start, output-voltage tracking, and adaptive dead-time control.

The TPS40170-Q1 device provides accurate output voltage regulation within 1% accuracy.

Additionally, the controller implements a novel scheme of bidirectional synchronization with one controller acting as the primary and other downstream controllers acting as secondaries, synchronized to the primary in-phase or 180° out-of-phase. Secondary controllers can be synchronized to an external clock within ±30% of the internal switching frequency.
