3 Description

The TPSM8287Axx is a family of pin-to-pin stepdown

DC/DC power modules with differential remote

sensing and I2C interface. The power modules

integrate a synchronous step-down converter, an

inductor and input capacitors to simplify design,

reduce external components and save PCB area.

The low-profile and compact design is designed for

assembly by standard surface mount equipment.

The TPSM8287Axx family implements an enhanced

control scheme that supports fast transients. The

TPSM8287Axx can operate in fixed-frequency or

power-save mode. The remote sensing feature

optimizes voltage regulation at the point-of-load and

the device achieves ±0.8 DC voltage accuracy

over the entire temperature range. The devices can

operate in stacked, paralleled mode to deliver higher

output currents or to spread the power dissipation

across multiple devices. The I2C-compatible interface

offers several control, monitoring and warning

features. The start-up voltage is selectable through

the VSETx pins to allow a power-up without an active

I2C communication.
