Texas Instruments TPS53685 Dual D-CAP+™ Multiphase Controller

Texas Instruments TPS53685 Dual D-CAP+™ Multiphase Controller incorporates a trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) topology support, dual channels, built-in non-volatile memory (NVM), and PMBus™ interface. The device is fully compatible with TI NexFET™ smart power stages. The fully AMD SVI3-compliant step-down controller offers advanced control features such as D-CAP+ architecture with undershoot reduction (USR), providing fast transient response and good current sharing, minimizing output capacitance requirements. Additionally, the device supplies a novel phase interleaving strategy and dynamic phase shedding for efficiency improvements at different loads.

The TI TPS53685 provides the PMBus communication interface for reporting the telemetry of voltage, current, power, temperature, and fault conditions to the systems. To minimize the external component count, all programmable parameters can be configured by the PMBus interface and stored in NVM as the new default values.

The TPS53685 is housed in a thermally enhanced 40-pin QFN package and operates from –40°C to 125°C.
