Overview

The TPS62864 and TPS62866 synchronous step-down converters use the DCS-Control (Direct Control with Seamless transition into Power Save Mode) topology. This is an advanced regulation topology that combines the advantages of hysteretic and current-mode control schemes.

The DCS-Control™ topology operates in PWM (pulse width modulation) mode for medium to heavy load conditions and in Power Save Mode at light load currents. In PWM mode, the converter operates with its nominal switching frequency of 2.4 MHz, having a controlled frequency variation over the input voltage range. Because DCS-Control supports both operation modes (PWM and PFM) within a single building block, the transition from PWM mode to Power Save Mode is seamless without affecting the output voltage. The devices offer both excellent DC voltage and superior load transient regulation, combined with very low output voltage ripple.
