FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The TPS54478 device is a full featured 6 V, 4 A,
synchronous step down current mode converter with
two integrated MOSFETs.

•
Two 30-mΩ (typical) MOSFETs for High
Efficiency at 4 A Loads
200kHz to 2MHz Switching Frequency
0.6 V ± 1% Voltage Reference Over
Temperature (–40°C to 150°C)
Start up with Pre-Biased Voltage
Synchronizes to External Clock
Adjustable Slow Start / Sequencing
UV and OV Power Good Output
Cycle by Cycle Current Limit and Hiccup
Current Protection
•
•
The TPS54478 enables small designs by integrating
the MOSFETs, implementing current mode control to
reduce external component count, reducing inductor
size by enabling up to 2 MHz switching frequency,
and minimizing the IC footprint with a small 3mm x
3mm thermally enhanced QFN package.

•
•
The TPS54478 provides accurate regulation for a
variety of loads with an accurate ±1% Voltage
Reference (VREF) over temperature.

•
Thermally Enhanced 3mm × 3mm 16-pin QFN
(RTE)
Pin Compatible to TPS54418
Efficiency is maximized through the integrated 30mΩ
MOSFETs and 525μA typical supply current. Using
the enable pin, shutdown supply current is reduced to
2.5µA by entering a shutdown mode.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
Under voltage lockout is internally set at 2.6 V, but
can be increased by programming the threshold with
a resistor network on the enable pin. The output
voltage startup ramp is controlled by the slow start
pin. An open drain power good signal indicates the
output is within 93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.

Communications Infrastructure
•
Cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup overcuurent
protection and thermal shutdown protect the device
during an overcurrent condition.
