description
The TPS5140 is a dc/dc controller that incorporates three synchronous-buck controllers and one
nonsynchronous 12-V boost converter on one chip to power the voltage rails needed by notebook peripheral
components. On-chiphigh-sideandlow-sidesynchronousrectifierdriversareintegratedtodrivelessexpensive
N-channelpowerMOSFETs. ThenonsynchronousboostconverterincludestheNchannelpowerMOSFETand
supports 120 mA for the PCMCIA power supply. The outputs are controlled independently and two of the
synchronous-buck controllers operate 180 degrees out of phase, with the third lowering the input current ripple
and allowing a smaller input capacitance to reduce power supply cost. For higher efficiency under all load
conditions, the TPS5140 automatically adjusts each channel from the PWM mode to the skip mode
independently. The skip mode enables a lower operating frequency and shortens the pulse width to the low side
MOSFETs, thereby increasing the efficiency under light load conditions. To further extend battery life, the
TPS5140 features dead-time control and very low quiescent current. Resistorless current protection and the
fixed high-side driver voltage simplify the system design and reduce the external parts count.
