Texas Instruments TPS25846-Q1 Synchronous Step-Down Converter

Texas Instruments TPS25846-Q1 Synchronous Step-Down Converter is a USB Type-A BC1.2 charging solution that includes a synchronous DC/DC converter. With cable droop compensation, the VBUS voltage remains constant regardless of load current, ensuring connected portable devices are charged at optimal current and voltage even under heavy loads. The TPS25846-Q1 includes high bandwidth analog switches for DP and DM pass-through. The device also integrates short to battery protection on VBUS, DM_IN, and DP_IN pins. These pins can withstand voltage up to 18V.

The synchronous buck regulator operates with current-mode control and is internally compensated to simplify the design. A resistor on the RT pin sets the switching frequency between 300kHz and 2.2MHz. Operating below 400kHz results in better system efficiency. Operation above 2.1MHz avoids the AM radio bands and allows for use of a smaller inductor. The Texas Instruments TPS25846-Q1 integrates electrical signatures necessary for legacy devices that utilize USB data lines to determine charging configuration. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup short-circuit protection, undervoltage lockout, VBUS overvoltage and overcurrent, the data line (Dx) short to VBUS, and die overtemperature protection.
