DESCRIPTION
The TPS40422 is a dual-output PMBus synchronous
buck controller. It can be configured also for a single,
two-phase output.

Margining Up/Down with 2-mV Step
Programmable Fault Limit and Response
Output Voltage, Output Current Monitoring
External Temperature Monitoring with
2N3904
Its wide input range can support 5-V and 12-V
intermediate buses. The accurate reference voltage
satisfies the need of precision voltage to the modern
ASICs and potentially reduces the output
capacitance. Voltage mode control is implemented to
reduce noise sensitivity and also ensures low duty
ratio conversion.

Programmable UVLO ON/OFF Thresholds
Programmable Soft Start Time and Turn
On/Off Delay
•
On-Chip Non-volatile Memory (NVM) to Store
Custom Configurations
Using the PMBus protocol, the TPS40422 margining
function, reference voltage, fault limit, UVLO
threshold, soft start time and turn on/off delay can be
programmed.
