7.1 Overview

The TPSM82830x is a family of low-voltage step-down modules available in 1A, 2A and 3A versions. These devices use a DCS-Control scheme which transitions seamlessly from pulse-width modulation (PWM) at medium and high output currents to pulsed-frequency modulation (PFM) at low output currents. During PWM operation, the devices switch at 2MHz; during PFM operation, the switching frequency varies with the load current and reduces as the load current decreases. For applications that require the lowest possible output voltage ripple or a constant switching frequency, a high logic level on the MODE pin forces the devices to use PWM under all load conditions (at the expense of lower efficiency at low output currents). An external resistor-divider sets the output voltage anywhere from 0.5V to 4.5V and the nominal switching frequency is 2MHz with a controlled variation over the input voltage range.

Device variants are available that support both hiccup and latch-off protection behavior.

The TPSM82830x devices offer two significant advantages compared to previous devices in this series: Transient performance has improved significantly by usage of a fast comparator in both PFM and PWM modes, and EMI is reduced by an optimized gate driver and on-chip decoupling capacitors.

The VCB package version uses MagPack technology to deliver the highest-performance power module design. Leveraging the Texas Instruments proprietary integrated-magnetics MagPack packaging technology, these power modules deliver industry-leading power density, high efficiency and good thermal performance, ease of use, and reduced EMI emissions.
