6.1 Overview

The TPSM852892 is a 6A buck-boost DC-to-DC module with the four MOSFETs and power inductor integrated. The TPSM852892 can operate over a wide range of 3.0V to 36V input voltage and an output voltage of 0.8V to 22V. According to the input voltage and the set output voltage, the operation of device can transit among buck mode, buck-boost mode, and boost mode smoothly. The TPSM852892 operates in buck mode when the input voltage is greater than the output voltage and in boost mode when the input voltage is less than the output voltage. When the input voltage is close to the output voltage, the TPSM852892 operates in one-cycle buck and one-cycle boost mode alternately.

The TPSM852892 uses an average current mode control scheme. Current mode control provides simplified loop compensation, rapid response to the load transients, and inherent line voltage rejection. An error amplifier compares the feedback voltage with the internal reference voltage. The output of the error amplifier determines the average inductor current.

An internal oscillator can be configured to operate over a wide range of frequency from 400kHz to 1MHz. The internal oscillator can also synchronize to an external clock applied to the DITH/SYNC pin. To minimize EMI, the TPSM852892 can dither the switching frequency at ±7% of the set frequency.

The TPSM852892 works in fixed-frequency PWM mode at moderate to heavy load currents. In light load condition, the TPSM852892 can be configured to automatically transition to PFM mode or be forced in PWM mode.

The TPSM852892 provides average inductor current limit of 6A typically. In addition, it provides cycle-by-cycle peak inductor current limit during transient to protect the device against overcurrent condition beyond the capability of the device.

A precision voltage threshold of 1.23V with 5µA sourcing current at the EN/UVLO pin supports programmable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis. The output overvoltage protection (OVP) feature turns off the high-side FETs to prevent damage to the devices powered by the TPSM852892.

The device provides hiccup mode option to reduce the heating in the power components when output short circuit happens. The TPSM852892 turns off for 76ms and restarts at soft start-up.
