TPS65217C in TI TPS6xxxx Bucks & Boosts Family
The TPS65217C is a comprehensive Power Management IC (PMIC) series from Texas Instruments designed to power applications processors like the Sitara AM335x. It integrates three step-down converters, four low-dropout regulators, and a linear battery charger into a single package. This family simplifies power-up sequencing and minimizes PCB footprint in portable systems, providing high-efficiency power delivery and monitoring for industrial and consumer-grade ARM-based embedded designs.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The TPS65217 series variants differ primarily in their default power-up voltage settings and sequencing logic to match specific processor requirements. While the TPS65217C is specifically optimized for the AM335x with 1.35V DDR3L support, other versions like the TPS65217A or TPS65217B are tailored for different DDR memory types or specific processor revisions, ensuring compatibility without requiring software intervention during the initial boot phase.
