DESCRIPTION
The TPS54233-Q1 is a 28 V, 2 A non-synchronous
buck converter 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 1 μA 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 startup 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 TPS54233-
Q1 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package that has
been internally optimized to improve thermal
performance.
