The TPS40180 is a stackable single-phase synchronous buck controller. Stacking allows a modular power supply design where multiple modules can be connected in parallel to achieve higher power capability. Stacked modules can be configured at the same switching frequency with interleaved phase shift to reduce input and output ripple current. Stacked modules can also be configured to generate separate output rails at the same time as different phase shift to reduce input ripple current. The TPS40180 is optimized for low-output voltage (from 0.7-V to 5.8-V), high-output current applications powered from a 2-V to 40-V supply. With eTrim™, the TPS40180 gives the user the capability to trim the reference voltage on the device to compensate for external component tolerances, tightening the overall system accuracy and allowing tighter specifications for output voltage of the converter.

The TPS40190 is a cost-optimized synchronous buck controller that operates from 4.5 V to 15 V nominally, and implements a fixed frequency voltage mode power supply. The controller uses an adaptive anti-cross conduction scheme to prevent both the high-side and the rectifier MOSFET to be turned on at the same time, preventing shoot through current in the two MOSFETs. The controller also provides a short circuit protection threshold that is user selectable between one of three values. The protection level is set with a single external resistor connected from COMP to GND. During start-up, the impedance connected to COMP is sensed, and the information is decoded to select one of the three thresholds. When the controller senses an output short circuit, both MOSFETs are turned off and a timeout period is observed before attempting to restart. This provides limited power dissipation in the event of a sustained fault. The TPS40190 provides strong drivers to minimize switching losses in the power stage, reducing heat build up in the MOSFETs and allowing larger MOSFETs to be used without undue switching time penalty.

TPS40192 and TPS40193 are cost-optimized synchronous buck controllers that operate from 4.5 V to 18 V input. These controllers implement a voltage-mode control architecture with the switching frequency fixed at either 600 kHz (TPS40192) or 300 kHz (TPS40193). The higher switching frequency facilitates the use of smaller inductor and output capacitors, thereby providing a compact power-supply solution. An adaptive anti-cross conduction scheme is used to prevent shoot through current in the power FETs. Short circuit detection is done by sensing the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET when it is on and comparing it with a user selected threshold of 100 mV, 200 mV or 280 mV. The threshold is set with a single external resistor connected from COMP to GND. This resistor is sensed at startup and the selected threshold is latched. Pulse-by-pulse limiting (to prevent current runaway) is provided by sensing the voltage across the high-side MOSFET when it is on and terminating the cycle when the voltage drop rises above a fixed threshold of 550 mV.
