Step-down converter optimized for high-efficiency and noise-critical applications

Texas Instruments TPS62097 2A Synchronous Step-Down Converter is optimized for high efficiency and noise critical applications. These devices focus on high efficiency conversion over a wide output current range. At medium to heavy loads, the converter operates in PWM mode and automatically enters Power Save Mode operation at light load. The switching frequency is selectable in the range of 1.5MHz to 2.5MHz by an external resistor. iDCS-Control is able to be operated in forced PWM mode for low noise operation with a fixed switching frequency. The device integrates short circuit protection, power good and thermal shutdown features. Typical applications include industrial systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Point-of-Load (POL) regulators and solid-state drives (SSDs). Also available from stock, the Texas Instruments TPS62097EVM-651 Evaluation Module facilitates the evaluation of the TPS62097 2A, buck converter with iDCS-Control, forced PWM mode, and selectable switching frequency.
