DESCRIPTION
2
•
60-mΩ MOSFET Switches for High Efficiency
at 3-A Continuous Output Current
As a member of the SWIFT™ family of dc/dc
regulators, the TPS54377 low-input-voltage
high-output-current synchronous-buck PWM
•
•
Adjustable Output Voltage Down to 0.9 V With
1% Accuracy
converter integrates all required active components.
Included on the substrate with the listed features are
a true, high performance, voltage error amplifier that
provides high performance under transient conditions;
an undervoltage-lockout circuit to prevent start-up
until the input voltage reaches 3 V; an internally and
externally set slow-start circuit to limit in-rush
Switching Frequency: Adjustable From
280 kHz to 1600 kHz

processor/logic reset, fault signaling, and supply
sequencing.
•
•
Spacing Saving 4mm x 5mm QFN Packaging
For reliable power up in output precharge
applications, the TPS54377 is designed to only
source current during start-up.

The TPS54377 device is available in a thermally
enhanced 24-pin QFN (RHF) PowerPAD™ package,
which eliminates bulky heatsinks. TI provides
evaluation modules and the SWIFT designer software
tool to aid in achieving high-performance power
supply designs to meet aggressive equipment
development cycles.
