TPS40075

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The TPS40075 is a mid voltage, wide input (4.5-V to 28-V), synchronous, step-down controller, offering design flexibility for a variety of user programmable functions, including; soft start, UVLO, operating frequency, voltage feed-forward and high-side FET sensed short circuit protection.

The TPS40075 drives external N-channel MOSFETs using second generation Predictive Gate Drive to minimize conduction in the body diode of the low side FET and maximize efficiency. Pre-biased outputs are supported by not allowing the low side FET to turn on until the voltage commanded by the closed loop soft start is greater than the pre-bias voltage. Voltage feed forward provides good response to input transients and provides a constant PWM gain over a wide input voltage operating range to ease compensation requirements. Programmable short circuit protection of TPS40075 provides fault current limiting and hiccup recovery to minimize power dissipation with a shorted output. The 20 pin QFN package of TPS40075 gives good thermal performance and a compact footprint.
