TPS54308DDCT step-down converter IC Positive Adjustable 1V 1 Output 3A
The TPS54308DDCT from Texas Instruments is a 28V, 3A synchronous step-down (buck) converter packaged in a compact 6-pin TSOT-23-6 Thin package. This high-efficiency device integrates both high-side (85 mΩ) and low-side (40 mΩ) N-channel MOSFETs, eliminating the need for external Schottky diodes. Designed for space-constrained power systems, it operates with a fixed 350 kHz switching frequency and employs peak current-mode control with internal loop compensation. The chip's forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) maintains constant frequency across all load conditions, making it ideal for noise-sensitive applications .
The converter supports a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 28V, with an adjustable output voltage from 1V down to 26V delivering up to 3A continuous current. Key specifications include a low 300 µA operating quiescent current and an ultra-low 2 µA shutdown current, preserving battery life in standby systems. Protection features are comprehensive: cycle-by-cycle current limiting on both MOSFETs, overvoltage protection (OVP) at 118% of nominal output, thermal shutdown with hiccup recovery, and a fixed 5 ms internal soft-start to minimize inrush currents. The converter also features an adjustable UVLO via the EN pin for precise power sequencing .
