Description
High frequency, low profile dc-dc converters
Voltage Regulators for CPUs, GPUs, and high current rails
The TDA21490 power stage contains a low quiescent-current synchronous buck gate-driver IC co-packaged with
high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The package is optimized for PCB layout, heat transfer, driver/MOSFET control
timing, and minimal switch node ringing when layout guidelines are followed. The gate driver and MOSFET
combination enables higher efficiency at the lower output voltages required by cutting edge CPU, GPU and DDR
memory designs.
The TDA21490 internal MOSFET current sense algorithm with temperature compensation achieves superior
current sense accuracy versus best-in-class controller-based inductor DCR sense methods. Protection includes
cycle-by-cycle over-current protection with programmable threshold, VCC/VDRV UVLO protection, bootstrap
capacitor under-voltage protection, phase fault detection, IC temperature reporting and thermal shutdown. The
TDA21490 also features auto-replenishment of the bootstrap capacitor to prevent over-discharging. The
TDA21490 features a deep-sleep power saving mode, which greatly reduces the power consumption when the
multiphase system enters PS3/PS4 mode.
Operation at switching frequency as high as 1.5 MHz enables high performance transient response, allowing
reduction of output inductance and output capacitance values while maintaining industry leading efficiency.
The TDA21490 is optimized for CPU core power delivery in server applications. The ability to meet the stringent
requirements of the server market also makes the TDA21490 ideally suited for powering GPU and DDR memory
designs.
