DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TPS65252 features two synchronous wide input range high efficiency buck converters. The converters are
designed to simplify its application while giving the designer the option to optimize their usage according to the
target application.
The converters can operate in 5-, 9- or 12-V systems and have integrated power transistors. The output voltage
can be set externally using a resistor divider to any value between 0.8 V and the input supply minus 1 V. Each
converter features enable pin that allows a delayed start-up for sequencing purposes, soft start pin that allows
adjustable soft-start time by choosing the soft-start capacitor, and a current limit (RLIMx) pin that enables
designer to adjust current limit by selecting an external resistor and optimize the choice of inductor. The COMP
pin allows optimizing transient versus dc accuracy response with a simple RC compensation.
The switching frequency of the converters can be set with an external resistor connected to ROSC pin. The
switching regulators are designed to operate from 300 kHz to 2.2 MHz. The converters operate with 180
° phase
between then to minimize the input filter requirements.
TPS65252 also features a low power mode enabled by an external signal, which allows for a reduction on the
input power supplied to the system when the host processor is in stand-by (low activity) mode.
