Texas Instruments TPS544x20 Synchronous Buck Converter

Texas Instruments TPS544x20 synchronous buck converters are 20A and 30A high-performance DC-DC converters with two integrated N-channel NexFET™ power MOSFETs. These devices implement TI's proprietary D-CAP and D-CAP2 mode control providing natural input voltage feed-forward and fast transient response with a precision error amplifier and low-offset differential remote sense amplifier for precise output voltage regulation with minimal external compensation. Monotonic pre-bias capability eliminates concerns about damaging sensitive loads. Integrated PMBus capability provides current, voltage and on-board temperature monitoring, as well as many user-programmable configuration options as well as Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) and output voltage margin testing.
