TPS2013D

Application Field

The TPS2013D is designed to meet the needs of a variety of applications from noisy DC-DC power supplies to large power boards, backplanes, and other systems, including regulation of high-efficiency AC-DC and/or DC-DC power systems. Its wide input voltage range and switching frequency range allow it to be used in a variety of power supplies with different power requirements.

Additionally, the TPS2013D supports both synchronous and complementary rectification, allowing for optimal operation in many different system configurations. The device is capable of driving up to 18A peak current with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast response times.

Working Principle

The TPS2013D is a single-channel load driver IC that operates on the principle of power-by-linear technology. The device operates in two modes, active and sleep. In active mode the device is switched on, allowing current to flow through its power switches. During this time the device is actively regulating the output voltage, compensating for input voltage variations and mains noise.

In sleep mode the device is switched off, reducing power consumption and providing a low power standby mode. This mode is useful for applications that require power-on management, such as powering down the system when not in use.

The TPS2013D also features a number of protection features, such as an over temperature protection, a current acquisition protection and a discharge protection circuit which helps protect the device from damaging overcurrents or other external disturbances.

Conclusion

The TPS2013D load driver is a versatile and efficient solution for regulating power in a variety of applications. Its power-by-linear technology allows for fast and accurate regulation of the output voltage, while its protection features help ensure reliability and safety.
