TPS72018DRVR

The TPS72018DRVR is a low-quiescent current, high-efficiency buck-boost linear regulator with a wide input voltage range. It is designed for application in automotive and commercial environments where converting a fixed DC output voltage from a varying input voltage requires low noise and low quiescent current.

The output voltage range for the TPS72018DRVR ranges from 0.8 V to 14 V, and the regulator is capable of providing up to 5 A of output current. It provides two low noise feedback networks to provide a wide output voltage range. The two low noise voltage output configurations permit the regulator to operate in Buck-Boost or SEPIC (single-ended primary inductance converter) modes.

The TPS72018DRVR is designed to provide a low drop out voltage, even during dynamic loading conditions, thus enabling the regulator to deliver the required output voltage even during periods of light loading. Additionally, the TPS72018DRVR has an integrated short circuit protection feature that automatically disconnects the output voltage whenever an overcurrent condition occurs.

The TPS72018DRVR utilizes a thermally enhanced package that integrates the external components into a single unit, making the module easier to design in. The device operates over a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, and is designed for automotive and commercial applications where it will be subjected to temperature extremes.

The linear regulator is powered with a low voltage input of 4.5 V to 38 V, and is capable of delivering a wide output range of 0.8 V to 14 V. The power stage of the device includes dual low noise feedback networks that are used to maintain the output voltage to within specified limits. The unique output architecture supports both Buck-Boost and SEPIC topologies and allows the device to operate in either voltage regulation or current limit modes.

The TPS72018DRVR linear regulator also includes an enable pin that can be used to enable/disable the device. The enable line is activated with 3.3 V, and the device is enabled when this signal is asserted. Additionally, the regulator features over-current protection, thermal protection, and over-voltage protection. For improved design flexibility, the regulator operates from a single 4.5 V input supply, and the output can be stabilised with an optional external capacitor.

The TPS72018DRVR is a low-quiescent current, high-efficiency buck-boost linear regulator, designed to provide a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 38V and wide output voltage range from 0.8V to 14V. The device’s integrated short circuit protection feature, along with its advanced power stage, makes it an ideal choice for use in harsh automotive and commercial applications, operating over a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

The TPS72018DRVR is a great choice for when designing and power stages require low noise, wide input and output voltage, and low quiescent current. It is a great solution to get the level of versatility, power stability and protection desired in the field of voltage regulation.
