The TPS54526 is a single, adaptive on-time D-CAP2™ mode synchronous buck converter requiring a very low external component count. The D-CAP2™ control circuit is optimized for low-ESR output capacitors such as POSCAP, SP-CAP, or ceramic types and features fast transient response with no external compensation. The switching frequency is internally set at a nominal 650 kHz. The high-side and low-side switching MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS54526 package along with the gate drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on resistance of the MOSFETs allows the TPS54526 to achieve high efficiencies and helps keep the junction temperature low at high output currents. The TPS54526 also has an auto-skip Eco-mode™ to enable higher efficiency at light loads. The TPS54526 DC/DC synchronous converter is designed to provide up to a 5.5-A output from an input voltage source of 4.5 V to 18 V. The output voltage range is from 0.76 V to 5.5 V. The voltage and output current ranges for the evaluation module are given in Table 1-1.

A summary of the TPS54526EVM-608 performance specifications is provided in Table 2-1. Specifications are given for an input voltage of VIN = 12 V and an output voltage of 1.05 V, unless otherwise noted. The ambient temperature is 25°C for all measurement, unless otherwise noted.

These evaluation modules are designed to provide access to the feature of the TPS54526. Some modifications can be made to this module.
