The TPS65400 dual- or quad-output configurable DC/DC converter integrates eight power MOSFETs and features industry-leading efficiency at up to 95-percent in the smallest footprint.

The TPS65400 includes four high-current synchronous buck switching regulators with integrated MOSFETs. Each switching converter supplies a 2-A or 4-A output to efficiently power digital circuits such as the processor, FPGA, ASIC, memory and digital input/output. Switching frequency for the converter is independently adjustable up to 2.2 MHz.

The TPS65400, which can be powered from a single-input voltage rail between 4.5 V and 18 V, supports applications running off a 5-V or 12-V intermediate power distribution bus.

Features:

- Flexible power up/down sequencing control increases system reliability. Read a blog on sequencing for performance processors and FPGAs.

- Parameter configuration and status monitoring via PMBus enhances system intelligence.

- Dynamic voltage scaling optimizes processor performance.

- Phase interleaving reduces input capacitance and ripple.

- Current sharing supports higher output current and enhances design flexibility.

- Small 48-pin VQFN package measures 7 mm by 7 mm by 0.9 mm.
