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

As a member of the SWIF^TM family of dc/dc regulators, the TPS54680 low-input voltage high-output current synchronous buck PWM converter integrates all required active components. Using the TRACKIN pin with other regulators, simultaneous power up and down are easily implemented. Included on the substrate with the listed features are a true, high performance, voltage error amplifier, TPS54680 enables maximum performance and flexibility in choosing the output filter L and C components; an under-voltage-lockout circuit to prevent start-up until the input voltage reaches 3 V; an internally or externally set slow-start circuit to limit inrush currents; and a power good output useful for processor/logic reset.

The TPS54680 is available in a thermally enhanced 28-pin TSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD^TM package, which eliminates bulky heatsinks. TI provides evaluation modules and the SWIFT^TM designer software tool to aid in quickly achieving high-performance power supply designs to meet aggressive equipment development cycles.
