The TPS546B26 device is a highly integrated, buck converter with D-CAP4 control topology for fast transient response. All programmable parameters can be configured by the PMBus interface and stored in NVM as the new default values to minimize the external component count. Pin-strap options allow for DCM or FCCM, overcurrent limit, fault response, internal or external feedback resistor, output voltage selection or range, switching frequency, and compensation.

The PMBus interface with 1MHz clock support gives a convenient, standardized digital interface for configuration as well as telemetry of key parameters including output voltage, output current, and internal die temperature. Response to fault conditions can be set to restart, latch off, or ignore, depending on system requirements.

The TPS546B26 has an option to overdrive the internal 5V LDO with an external 5V supply through the VDRV and VCC pins to improve efficiency, reduce power dissipation, and enable start-up with a lower input voltage.

The TPS546B26 is a lead-free device and is RoHS compliant without exemption.
