Buck converter

13 July 2016 Power Electronics / Power Management

Texas Instruments has introduced a 12 V, 10 A, 10 MHz series-capacitor buck converter that achieves more than 50 A/cm³ current density, which it says is four times higher than any other 12 V power management component or solution available today. The unique topology of the TPS54A20 SWIFT synchronous DC-DC converter enables high-frequency operation at up to 5 MHz per phase without special magnetics or compound semiconductors, which designers can use for 8 V to 14 V input and 10 A output applications. By using the converter together with the WEBENCH Power Design tool, engineers can get their space- and height-constrained point-of-load (POL) telecom and networking power supply designs to market faster.
