TPS60242DGKT Integrated Circuits (ICs)

TPS60242DGKT Application Field and Working Principle

The TPS60242DGKT is a dual-input charger and current-limit switch-mode power supply (SMPS) DC/DC converter with fixed/variable output current and adjustable output voltage as per requirement. It is a highly reliable power supply device which can protect against overload and overvoltage. As it is suitable for PMIC-Voltage Regulators-DC DC Switching Regulators it optimizes power delivery and reduce system power losses.

It offers a wide input voltage range and a high efficiency of up to 95%, allowing designers to maximize system efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership. With a quiescent current of only 5 μA, it is also an effective power management solution for space-constraint designs. It also delivers high-output current with low ripple and accurate regulation for loads, including devices that require fast switching speeds or high transient currents.

The device has overvoltage, overtemperature and overcurrent protection features, designed to help protect the load and source from damage. It also comes with a power Good indicator to indicate when the output voltage has reached its regulated level. In addition to this, it offers an adjustable output voltage to allow designers to maximise efficiency and reduce power losses. It is an ideal solution for applications such as embedded systems, telecommunications and automotive applications.

Working Principle

The TPS60242DGKT is a dual input charger with an adjustable output current and adjustable output voltage. It works on the switching principle and uses two external voltage sources. By controlling the duty cycle of the active switch (FET), it delivers an output current that can be adjusted to the desired level. When the input voltage rises above the desired output voltage level, the internal switch (FET) is activated and the input current is delivered to the external load. When the input voltage drops below the desired output voltage level, the switch is de-activated and the output current is switched off.The TPS60242DGKT also provides a variety of protection features like overvoltage, overtemperature and overcurrent protection. It also has a power good indicator to indicate when the output voltage has reached its regulated level. As it is a highly efficient power management solution, it can help improve system performance, reduce power losses and reduce total cost of ownership.
