3 Description
The TPSM86838 is a high-efficiency, high-voltage
input, easy-to-use synchronous buck power module.
The device integrates power MOSFETs, a shielded
inductor and basic passives, minimizing the design
size.
With the wide operating input voltage range of 4.5
V to 28 V, this module is an excellent choice for
systems powered from 12-V, 19-V, 24-V power-bus
rails. TPSM86838 supports up to 8-A continuous
output current, which output voltage is between 0.6
V and 5.5 V.
The TPSM86838 uses DCAP3 control mode to
provide fast transient response, good line and load
regulation, no requirement for external compensation,
and supports low equivalent series resistance (ESR)
output capacitors like MLCC.
The TPSM86838 operates in forced continuous
conduction mode (FCCM) during light load,
provides complete non-latched OV (Undervoltage),
UV (Undervoltage), OC (Overcurrent), OT
(Overtemperature) and UVLO (Undervoltage lockout)
protections combined with power-good indicator and
output discharge function features.
The TPSM86838 is available in a 19-pin 5.0-mm x
5.5-mm HotRod™ QFN package, and the junction
temperature is specified from –40°C to 150°C.
