DESCRIPTION
The TPS542951 is a dual, adaptive on-time D-
CAP2™ mode synchronous buck converter. The
TPS542951 enables system designers to complete
the suite of various end equipment’s power bus
regulators with a cost effective, low component count,
and low standby current solution. The main control
loops of the TPS542951 use the D-CAP2™ mode
control which provides a very fast transient response
with no external compensation components. The
adaptive on-time control supports seamless transition
between PWM mode at higher load conditions and
Eco-mode™ operation at light loads. Eco-mode™
allows the TPS542951 to maintain high efficiency
during lighter load conditions. The TPS542951 is able
to adapt to both low equivalent series resistance
(ESR) output capacitors such as POSCAP or SP-
CAP, and ultra-low ESR, ceramic capacitors. The
device provides convenient and efficient operation
with input voltages from 4.5V to 18V.
The TPS542951 is available in a 4.4mm × 5.0mm 16
pin TSSOP (PWP) package, and 4mm x 4mm 16 pin
VQFN (RSA) package, and is specified for an
ambient temperature range from –40°C to 85°C.
