Background
The TPS54678 dc/dc converter is designed to provide up to a 6-A output from an input voltage source of
2.95 V to 6 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the EVM are given in
2.95 V to 6 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the EVM are given in
. This EVM
demonstrates the small printed-circuit board areas that are achieved when designing with the TPS54678
regulator. The switching frequency is externally set at a nominal 500 kHz. The high-side and low-side
MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS54678 package along with the gate-drive circuitry. The low
drain-to-source on resistance of the MOSFETs allow the TPS54678 to achieve high efficiencies and helps
keep the junction temperature low at high output currents. The compensation components are external to
the integrated circuit (IC), and an external divider allows for an adjustable output voltage. Additionally, the
TPS54678 provides adjustable slow start and undervoltage lockout inputs. The absolute maximum input
voltage is 7 V for the EVM.
