Overview

The TPS62130ARGTT is a high-frequency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for applications with high power density. Utilizing TI's DCS-Control topology, it supports up to 3A of output current with a wide input voltage range of 3V to 17V, making it suitable for systems powered from multi-cell Li-ion batteries or 12V intermediate power rails.

Why Choose This Part

The DCS-Control topology provides excellent transient response and high output voltage accuracy while maintaining a low 17 microamp quiescent current. It features a seamless transition between PWM and Power Save modes, ensuring high efficiency across the entire load range and supporting 100% duty cycle for low dropout operation.

Applications

Standard 12V Rail Step-Down
Converting 12V industrial or automotive bus voltages down to 5V, 3.3V, or 1.8V logic rails with up to 3A load.
High-Efficiency Embedded Systems
Providing power to SoCs and FPGAs where high efficiency at both light and heavy loads is required via the integrated Power Save Mode.
Space-Constrained Point-of-Load
Utilizing its 2.5MHz switching frequency to minimize the footprint of external inductors and capacitors in compact 3x3mm VQFN designs.
