3 Description

The TPS6287B10, TPS6287B15, TPS6287B20 and

TPS6287B25 are a family of pin-to-pin 10-A,15-A, 20-

A, 25-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converters

with I2C interface and differential remote sense. All

devices offer high efficiency and ease of use. Lowresistance

power switches allow up to 25-A output

current at high ambient temperature.

The devices can operate in stacked mode to deliver

higher output currents or to spread the power

dissipation across multiple devices.

The TPS6287Bx family implements an enhanced

DCS control scheme that combines fast transient

response with fixed-frequency operation. Devices can

operate in power-save mode for maximum efficiency,

or forced-PWM mode for 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 ±0.8 DC voltage accuracy for the full

output voltage range.

The I2C compatible interface offers several control,

monitoring and warning features, such as voltage

monitoring and temperature related warnings. The

output voltage can be quickly adjusted to adapt the

load′s power consumption to the performance needs.

The default start-up voltage is resistor selectable

through the VSET1 and VSET2 pins.
