3 Description

TPSM843320 is a highly efficient, small, and flexible

synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a

MicroSiP power module package that is easy to use.

The module operates up to 18-V input with fixedfrequencies

that are resistor adjustable by system

designer. The embedded IC is internally compensated

which reduces external components and design size.

The integrated high-frequency capacitor reduces the

transient peak at switching node.

The TPSM843320 module employs an internally

compensated, fixed-frequency advanced current

mode control. The device is capable of providing high

efficiency while running at a switching frequency up to

2.2 MHz. The fixed frequency controller can operate

from 500 kHz to 2.2 MHz and can be synchronized

to an external clock using the SYNC pin. Additional

features include a high accuracy voltage reference,

selectable soft start times, monotonic start-up

into pre-biased outputs, selectable current limits,

adjustable UVLO through the EN pin, and a full suite

of fault protections.
