Design files

Overview

This reference design uses four TPS546D24A converters with integrated MOSFETs to support a full load of 160A at a 0.9V output. The system operates at a switching frequency of 650 kHz and has a PMBus interface that can be used to configure key converter parameters, including internal compensation. The detailed test report includes efficiency, thermal, stability, and load transient results.

Features
  • 12V input, 0.9V output with full load of 160A
  • Very good output voltage regulation accuracy of 0.11% 
  • Accurate load sharing between 4 integrated converters
  • Fixed-frequency current-mode control and programmable internal compensation
  • PMBus interface for configuration and monitoring of key converter parameters
  • Designed for communications base-band and remote radio units
