DESCRIPTION
As a member of the SWIFT鈩amily of dc/dc regu-
lators, the TPS54073 low-input voltage high-output
current synchronous buck PWM converter integrates
all required active components. Included on the
substrate with the listed features are a true, high
performance, voltage error amplifier that enables
maximum performance and flexibility in choosing the
output
filter
L
and
C
components;
an
undervoltage-lockout circuit to prevent start-up until
the input voltage reaches 3 V; an internally or
externally set slow-start circuit to limit in-rush
currents; and a power good output useful for
processor/logic reset, fault signaling, and supply se-
quencing.
For reliable power up in output precharge appli-
cations, the TPS54073 is designed to only source
current during start-up.
The TPS54073 is available in a thermally enhanced
28-pin TSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD鈩?package, which
eliminates bulky heatsinks. TI provides evaluation
modules and the SWIFT鈩?designer software tool to
aid in quickly achieving high-performance power
supply designs to meet aggressive equipment devel-
opment cycles
