DESCRIPTION
The TPS43000 is a high-frequency, voltage-mode,
synchronous PWM controller that can be used in buck,
boost, SEPIC, or flyback topologies. This highly flexible,
full-featured controller is designed to drive a pair of
external MOSFETs (one N-channel and one
P-channel), enabling it for use with a wide range of
output voltages and power levels. With an automatic
PFM mode, a shutdown current of less than 1 µA, a
sleep-mode current of less than 100 µA and a full
operating current of less than 2 mA at 1 MHz, it is ideal
for building highly efficient, dc-to-dc converters.
The TPS43000 operates over a wide input voltage
range of 1.8 V to 9.0 V. Typical power sources are
distributed power systems, two to four nickel or alkaline
batteries, or one to two lithium-ion cells. It can be used
to generate regulated output voltages from as low as
0.8 V to 8 V or higher. It operates either in a
fixed-frequency mode, where the user programs the
frequency (up to 2 MHz), or in an automatic PFM mode.
In the automatic mode, the controller goes to sleep
when the inductor current goes discontinuous, and
wakes up when the output voltage has fallen by 2%. In
this hysteretic mode of operation, very high efficiency
can be maintained over a very wide range of load
current. The device can also be synchronized to an
external clock source using the dual function SYNC/SD
input pin.
