DC/DC Converters with DCS-Control™ Topology

TI’s DCS-Control™ topology (Direct Control with Seamless Transition into Power Save Mode) is an advanced architecture that
combines the advantages of hysteretic and voltage mode control. The DCS-Control provides:
• High output-voltage accuracy throughout a seamless transition between PWM to Power Save Mode provided by a single
building block
• Minimized interference with RF or other noise-sensitive circuits achieved by excellent DC-voltage and load-transient regulation,
combined with low output voltage ripple
• Works with small (footprint and BOM count) and cost-competitive external components like low-ESR capacitors
• A robust design that tolerates large effective output capacitance
• Highest accuracy and smallest solution size combined with lowest quiescent current in versions with fixed output voltage

Step-Down LED Driver with Dimming

17-V Input Step-Down Converters with Adjustable Soft Start

TPS62150
TPS62150 demonstrates a small, simple, and easy way to implement a high-brightness constant current LED driver. The desired
current must be maintained with an output voltage that varies with changes in the LED forward voltage due to analog dimming or
varying temperatures. To achieve current regulation, the voltage across a known resistance (RCS) is regulated. RCS is connected from
the feedback pin (FB) to GND. Due to the relatively high FB voltage, the power dissipated by RCS can lower efficiency and reduce
battery life. By putting a resistor from the SS/TR pin to GND, the FB voltage can be reduced. The LEDs are connected from the output
of the inductor to the FB pin. Dimming can be realized in this application by either analog or PWM methods.

Inverting Buck-Boost Topology

Step-Down Converter with Extended UVLO Hysteresis

TPS62120
The TPS62120 is a synchronous buck DC/DC converter designed for low-power applications such as ultra-low-power
­microprocessors, energy harvesting and low-power RF applications. The extended undervoltage lockout enables energy-harvesting
applications to run longer from the supporting buffer capacitor. Moreover, the TPS62120 can be configured in an inverting b­ uck-boost
topology where the output voltage is inverted or negative with respect to ground. TI’s Application Report SLVA478 describes the
TPS62120 in an inverting buck-boost topology for use in low-current negative rails for operational-amplifier biasing and other low-
power applications.

Harnessing Wasted Energy in 4- to 20-mA Current-Loop Systems

Step-Down Converter with Adjustable Enable Threshold and Hysteresis
TPS62125
A 4- to 20-mA current-loop signal is frequently used in industrial environments to transmit measurements across long distances, such
as the temperature of a process or the pressure in a tank. This type of signaling is preferred because of its simplicity, noise immunity,
safety and ability to traverse great lengths without data corruption. These current loops are also low-power systems, since relatively
low currents transmit the data. Previously, whatever power was not used or lost in the signal transmission was merely dissipated in
the transmitter; but now, with modern integrated circuits, even this small amount of power can be harnessed to support necessary
functions in these systems.

Powering Low-Power MCUs

28-V Input Step-Down Converter with Sleep Mode

TPS62177
To optimize the balance between power and performance, low-power microcontrollers can be configured to operate in different
modes ranging from deep-sleep mode to run mode. The current consumed by microcontrollers in an embedded system can vary from
a few microamperes (1.3 µA in hibernation mode) to tens of milliamperes (30 mA at 80 MHz), depending on several factors in the end
application. These factors can include mode of operation, system clock frequency, number of peripherals being clocked at a given
time, drive strength of GPIOs and number of GPIOs being used to drive loads. The TPS62177 interfaces perfectly with the MCU’s
sleep modes, meeting the power requirements of embedded systems powered from two- to six-cell lithium batteries, USB ports or
higher-voltage AC adapters.

Saving Battery Energy, Extending Application Run Time

Step-Down Converter with 400-nA Quiescent Current
TPS62745
ADC input of MCUs require an external resistor divider to scale down battery voltage to match with ADC input range. The TPS62745
supports this functionality through the integrated VIN switch and neglects the need for an extra load switch with integrated level

3-A Step-Down Converter with Hiccup Short-Circuit Protection in 2 x 2 QFN
TPS62085
The TPS62085 is a high-frequency, synchronous step-down converter optimized for small solution size and high efficiency over a wide
output-current range. The converter operates in PWM mode at medium to heavy loads and automatically enters power-save mode
at light loads to maintain high efficiency. The switch current limit prevents the device from drawing high inductor current or excessive
current from the battery or input-voltage rail. A demand for excessive current might occur with a shorted/saturated inductor, a heavy
load or a shorted output circuit. Once the internal current limit is triggered 32 times, the device stops switching, resets the soft start,
enables the output discharge and then automatically starts up again after a typical delay of 66 μs. This is called hiccup short-circuit
protection. The device repeats this mode until the high current disappears.

See TPS82085 for the same function and smaller footprint.
