DESCRIPTION

As a member of the SWIFT

 family of dc/dc regulators,

the TPS54673 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 under-voltage-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

sequencing.

For reliable power up in output precharge applications,

the TPS54673 is designed to only source current during

startup.

The TPS54673 is available in a thermally enhanced

28-pin TSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD

 package, which

eliminates bulky heatsinks. TI provides evaluation

modules and the SWIFT

 designer software tool to aid

in quickly achieving high-performance power supply

designs to meet aggressive equipment development

cycles.
