1 Background

The TPS65261/TPS65261-1 PMIC is a triple 3-A/2-A/2-A output current, synchronous step-down (buck) converter with an operational range of 4.5 V to 18 V. The TPS65261/TPS65261-1 features an automatic power sequence with connecting MODE pin to V7V and configuring EN1/2/3 pins. The device also features an open drain RESET signal to monitor power down. The TPS65261 operates in pulse skipping mode (PSM) and the TPS65261-1 operates in force continuous current mode (FCC) at light load.

As there are many possible options to set the converters, Table 1-1 presents the performance specification summary for the EVM.
