The TPS54478 device is a full featured 6-V, 4-A, synchronous step down current mode converter with two integrated MOSFETs.
The TPS54478 enables small designs by integrating the MOSFETs, implementing current mode control to reduce external component count, reducing inductor size by enabling up to 2-MHz switching frequency, and minimizing the IC footprint with a small 3-mm × 3-mm thermally enhanced WQFN package.
The TPS54478 provides accurate regulation for a variety of loads with an accurate ±1% voltage reference (VREF) over temperature. Efficiency is maximized through the integrated 30-mΩ MOSFETs and 525-µA typical supply current. Using the enable pin, shutdown supply current is reduced to 2.5 µA by entering a shutdown mode.
Undervoltage lockout is internally set at 2.6 V, but can be increased by programming the threshold with a resistor network on the enable pin. The output voltage start-up ramp is controlled by the soft-start pin. An open-drain power-good signal indicates the output is within 93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown protect the device during an overcurrent condition.
