DESCRIPTION
The TPS54240-Q1 device is a 42-V, 2.5-A, step-
down regulator with an integrated high-side MOSFET.
Current-mode control provides simple external
compensation and flexible component selection. A
low-ripple pulse-skip mode reduces the no-load,
regulated-output supply current to 138 μA. Using the
enable pin, shutdown supply current is reduced to 1.3
μA when the enable pin is low.
Undervoltage lockout is internally set at 2.5 V, but
can be increased using the enable pin. The output
voltage start-up ramp is controlled by the slow-start
pin that can also be configured for
sequencing/tracking. An open-drain power-good
signal indicates the output is within 94% to 107% of
its nominal voltage.
A wide switching-frequency range allows efficiency
and external component size to be optimized.
Frequency foldback and thermal shutdown protects
the part during an overload condition.
The TPS54240-Q1 is available in a 10-pin thermally
enhanced MSOP PowerPAD package.
