The TPS54020 is a 10-A, 4.5-V to 17-V input
SWIFT™ converter. The innovative 3.5 mm × 3.5 mm
HotRod™ package optimizes high-density step-down
designs. The TPS54020 is a full featured converter.
High efficiency is achieved through the innovative
integration and packaging of the high-side and low-
side MOSFETs. The TPS54020 operates at
continuous current mode (CCM) at higher load
conditions, and transitions to Eco-mode™ while
skipping pulses to boost the efficiency at light loads.
Start-Up into Pre-biased Outputs
Over-Temperature and Overvoltage Protection
Current limiting on both MOSFETs provides device
and system protection. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting
in the high-side MOSFET protects for overload
situations. Low-side MOSFET zero current detection
turns off the low-side MOSFET while operating under
light loads. Three selectable current limit thresholds
allow a good fit for various applications. A hiccup or
cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection scheme is also
selectable.

Thermal shutdown protection disables switching
when die temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown
trip point and enables switching after the built-in
thermal hysteresis and shutdown hiccup time.
