Texas Instruments TPS62816-Q1 6A Step-Down Converter

Texas Instruments TPS62816-Q1 6A Step-Down Converter is a pin-to-pin high efficiency, easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC/DC converter. It is based on a peak current mode control topology. It is designed for automotive applications such as infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems. Low resistive switches allow up to 6A continuous output current. The switching frequency is externally adjustable from 1.8MHz to 4MHz and can also be synchronized to an external clock in the same frequency range. In PWM/PFM mode, the TPS62816-Q1 automatically enters power save mode at light loads to maintain high efficiency across the whole load range. The TPS62816-Q1 provides a 1% output voltage accuracy in PWM mode, which helps design a power supply with high output voltage accuracy. The SS/TR pin allows setting the start-up time or tracking the output voltage to an external source. This feature allows external sequencing of different supply rails and limits the inrush current during start-up.
