FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
8-mΩ MOSFET Switches for High Efficiency at
14.5-A Peak Output Current
As a member of the SWIFT™family of dc/dc regu-
lators, the TPS54073 low-input voltage high-output
current synchronous buck PWM converter integrates
all required active components. Included on the
substrate with the listed features are a true, high
performance, voltage error amplifier that enables
maximum performance and flexibility in choosing the

currents; and
a power good output useful for
processor/logic reset, fault signaling, and supply se-
quencing.
•
Integrated Solution Reduces Board Area and
Total Cost
For reliable power up in output precharge appli-
cations, the TPS54073 is designed to only source
current during start-up.
APPLICATIONS
•
Low-Voltage, High-Density Distributed Power
Systems
The TPS54073 is available in a thermally enhanced
28-pin TSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD™ package, which
eliminates bulky heatsinks. TI provides evaluation
modules and the SWIFT™ designer software tool to
aid in quickly achieving high-performance power
supply designs to meet aggressive equipment devel-
opment cycles
