FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
1.8-V to 3.8-V Input Voltage Range
The TPS62510 family are high-efficiency step-down
converters targeted for operation from a 1.8-V to
3.8-V input voltage rail, ideally suited for 2-cell
Alkaline or NiMHd applications. The TPS62510 is
also ideal as a point-of-load regulator running from a
fixed 3.3-V, 2.5-V or 1.8-V input voltage rail. The
converter operates in fixed frequency PWM mode
switching at 1.5 MHz with the MODE pin high.
Pulling the MODE pin low enables the high efficiency
mode. In high efficiency mode, the device operates
with a 1.5 MHz fixed frequency PWM at nominal load
current, and automatically enters the Power Save
Mode at light load currents. For maximum system
reliability, the converter features Output Voltage
Tracking using the OVT pin to allow sequencing, and
to allow for the output voltage to track an external
voltage applied to this pin.
