7 Summary

Buck power modules provide many benefits to system engineers, from small solution size to faster time to market. TI power modules are designed to be versatile and cover a wide application space, however, all power modules have operational limits. This application report has highlighted the timing, current limit, and thermal considerations that typically set boundaries to the valid operating area of a module. With this knowledge, a system engineer can better make the design tradeoffs when selecting, comparing, and designing with buck power modules.
