The TPS6593-Q1 device provides four flexible multi-phase configurable BUCK regulators with 3.5 A output current per phase, and one additional BUCK regulator with 2 A output current.

All of the BUCK regulators can be synchronized to an internal 2.2-MHz or 4.4-MHz or an external 1-MHz, 2-MHz, or 4-MHz clock signal. To improve the EMC performance, an integrated spread-spectrum modulation can be added to the synchronized BUCK switching clock signal. This clock signal can also be made available to external devices through a GPIO output pin. The device provides four LDOs: three with 500-mA capability, which can be configured as load switches; one with 300-mA capability and low-noise performance.

Non-volatile memory (NVM) is used to control the default power sequences and default configurations, such as output voltage and GPIO configurations. The NVM is pre-programmed to allow start-up without external programming. Most static configurations, stored in the register map of the device, can be changed from the default through SPI or I 2C interfaces to configure the device to meet many different system needs. The NVM contains a bit-integrity-error detection feature (CRC) to stop the power-up sequence if an error is detected, preventing the system from starting in an unknown state.Read more
