DC/DC Controller supports input voltage ranges from 4.5-20 V.
July 6, 2007 -
Available in 16-pin TSSOP package, Model TPS40195 simplifies power management design of LCD TVs and IP set-top boxes that use DSPs and FPGAs. Offering 250-600 kHz switching frequency, it can switch 180° out of phase when bi-directional synchronization pin is used as output to other buck controllers. Control and protection features include shutdown control, power good output, adjustable under-voltage lockout, selectable digital soft start, and programmable closed-loop soft start.

TI Simplifies LCD TV Power System Design with TPS40K(TM) DC/DC Controller
Easy-to-Use Controller Supports Input Voltage Ranges from 4.5 V to 20 V
DALLAS (June 13, 2007) - Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today introduced a flexible, synchronous buck controller that simplifies power management design of LCD TVs and IP set-top boxes that use digital signal processors (DSPs) and FPGAs. See: www.ti.com/TPS40195-pr.
TI's new TPS40195 high-performance controller provides several features to enhance the power performance of a 4.5 V to 20 V system. For instance, the device uses the input voltage available for power conversion as its bias supply, eliminating the need for additional voltages to power the integrated circuit. The TPS40195, which comes in a 16-pin TSSOP package, also can switch 180 degrees out of phase when the bi-directional synchronization pin is used as an output to other buck controllers. This reduces bulk capacitance and saves board space and cost when using 5 V and 12 V power supplies. In addition, the TPS40195 lowers electromagnetic interference (EMI) when the pin is used as an input connected to a master clock.
The controller provides excellent current detection at low duty cycles and limits energy into the system with an over-current sensing feature for both high- and low-side MOSFETs. The TPS40195 also supports control and protection features, such as shutdown control, power good output, adjustable under-voltage lockout, selectable digital soft start, programmable closed-loop soft start and short-circuit protection.
Power system designers can optimize the TPS40195 for efficiency or solution size by programming the switching frequency from 250 kHz to 600 kHz, or the controller can be synchronized via an external clock. By integrating the bootstrap diode, the device reduces system cost and saves board space.
5-A SWIFTTM Converter for Digital TV and Set-Top Box Designs
TI also introduced the TPS5450, a new 5-A, non-synchronous step-down converter if a designer wants to further reduce complexity and external component count in their end-equipment design. The newest SWIFTTM DC/DC converter integrates a low-resistance, high-side N-channel MOSFET, and provides tight voltage regulation accuracy under transient conditions. Available in an easy-to-use, eight-pin SOIC PowerPad(TM) package, the TPS5450 supports a wide input voltage range of 5.5 V to 36 V and features a low shutdown quiescent current of 18 uA.

Availability, Packaging and Pricing
The new TPS40195 and TPS5450 controllers are available in volume from TI and its authorized distributors. Suggested retail pricing per quantities of 1,000 units begins at $1.50 each for the TPS40195 and $2.25 each for the TPS5450. TI's easy-to-use SwitcherPro(TM) software, evaluation modules and application notes are available through power.ti.com.
