The automotive-qualifiedTPS629211-Q1
device is a highly
efficient, small, and highly flexible synchronous step-down DC-DC converter that is easy to use. A wide 3-V to 10-V input voltage range supports a wide
variety of systems powered from either 9-V, 5-V, or 3.3-V supply rails, or
single-cell or multi-cell Li-Ion batteries. The TPS629211-Q1
can be configured to run at either 2.5 MHz or 1 MHz in a forced PWM mode or a variable
frequency (auto PFM) mode. In auto PFM mode, the device automatically transitions to power
save mode at light loads to maintain high efficiency. The low 4-µA typical quiescent current
also provides high efficiency down to the smallest loads. TI's automatic efficiency
enhancement (AEE) mode holds a high conversion efficiency through the whole operation range
without the need of using different inductors by automatically adjusting the switching
frequency based on input and output voltages. In addition to selecting the switching
frequency behavior, the MODE/S-CONF input pin can also be used to select between different
combinations of external and internal feedback dividers and enabling and disabling the
output voltage discharge capability. In the internal feedback configuration, a resistor
between the FB/VSET pin and GND can be used to select between 18 different output voltage
options (see Table 8-2).
