TPS54231D

The TPS54231D is a 2A 570kHz Step-down Converter with Eco-mode™ that integrates a low RDS (ON) high-side MOSFET. To increase efficiency at light loads, a pulse skipping Eco-mode™ feature is automatically activated. Furthermore, the 1µA shutdown supply current allows the device to be used in battery powered applications. Current mode control with internal slope compensation simplifies the external compensation calculations and reduces component count while allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors. A resistor divider programs the hysteresis of the input under-voltage lockout. An overvoltage transient protection circuit limits voltage overshoots during start-up and transient conditions. A cycle-by-cycle current limit scheme, frequency fold back and thermal shutdown protect the device and the load in the event of an overload condition. The TPS54231 device has been internally optimized to improve thermal performance.
