3 Description

The TPS6287x is a family of pin-to-pin 6-A, 9-A, 12-A,

and 15-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converters

with differential remote sensing. For each current

rating, there are full-featured device variants with I2C

interface and limited-featured device variants without

I2C interface. All devices offer high efficiency and

ease of use. Low-resistance power switches allow

up to 15-A continuous output current at high ambient

temperatures.

The devices can operate in stacked mode to deliver

higher output currents or to spread the power

dissipation across multiple devices.

The TPS6287x family implements an enhanced DCS

control scheme that supports fast transients with

fixed-frequency operation. Devices can operate in

power save mode for maximum efficiency, or forced-

PWM mode for the best transient performance and

lowest output voltage ripple.

An optional remote sensing feature maximizes voltage

regulation at the point-of-load, and the device

achieves better than ±1 DC voltage accuracy under

all operating conditions.
