The TPS5103 is a synchronous buck dc/dc controller, designed for notebook PC system power. The controller has three user-selectable operation modes available: hysteretic mode, fixed-frequency PWM control, or SKIP control. In high-current applications, where fast transient response is advantageous for reducing bulk capacitance, the hysteretic mode is selected by connecting the RTpin to VREF5. Selecting the PWM/SKIP modes for less demanding transient applications is ideal for conserving notebook battery life under light load conditions. The device includes high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers capable of driving low rds(on)N-channel MOSFETs. The user-selectable overcurrent protection (OCP) threshold is set by an external TRIP-pin resistor in order to protect the system. The TPS5103 is configured so that a current-sense resistor is not required, improving the operating efficiency.

The TPS5110 provides one PWM-mode synchronous buck regulator controller (SBRC) and one low drop-out (LDO) regulator controller. The TPS5110 supports a low-voltage/high-current power supply for I/O and other peripherals in modern digital systems. The SBRC of the TPS5110 automatically adjusts from PWM mode to SKIP mode to maintain high efficiency under all load conditions. The LDO controller drives an external N-channel power MOSFET that realizes fast response and ultra-low dropout voltage. A unique overshoot protection circuit prevents a voltage hump at fast load decreasing transients. The current protection circuit for SBRC detects the drain-to-source voltage drop across the low-side and high-side power MOSFET while it is conducting. Also, the current protection circuit has a temperature coefficient to compensate for the RDS(on)variation of the MOSFET. This resistor-less current protection simplifies the system design and reduces the external parts count. The LDO controller includes current-limit protection. Other features, such as undervoltage lockout, power good, overvoltage, undervoltage, and programmable short-circuit protection promote system reliability.

The TPS51113 and TPS51163 are cost-optimized, feature rich, single-channel synchronous-buck controllers that operates from a single 4.5-V to 13.2-V supply and can convert an input voltage as low as 1.5 V. The controller implements voltage mode control with a fixed 300-kHz (TPS51113) and 600-kHz (TPS51163) switching frequency. The overcurrent (OC) protection employs the low-side RDS(on)current sensing and has user-programmable threshold. The OC threshold is set by the resistor from LDRV_OC pin to GND. The resistor value is read when the over-current programming circuit applies 10 µA of current to the LDRV_OC pin during the calibration phase of the start-up sequence.
