DESCRIPTION
The TPS54120 combines the high-efficiency of a
step-down switching (dc-dc) converter with a high
power-supply rejection (PSR), low-noise, low-dropout
regulator (LDO) to provide an ultra low-noise power
supply that delivers quiet power rails to noise-
sensitive applications.
With a wide input range of 4.5 V to 17 V, the
TPS54120 is ideally suited for systems with 12-V
power busses, and supports a 1-A continuous output
current. The output voltage can be set from 0.8 V to
6.0 V using external resistors. The dc-dc converter
and LDO are completely configurable, allowing the
TPS54120 to be used in a wide range of low-noise
applications. In addition, the TPS54120 includes
features such as softstart, switching frequency
synchronization, and a power-good signal.
The device is available in a space-saving, 3.5-mm ×
5.5-mm QFN package, and is specified to operate
over a –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
