DESCRIPTION
The TPS51640A, TPS59640 and TPS59641 are
dual-channel, fully SVID compliant IMVP-7 step-down
controllers with two integrated gate drivers. Advanced
control features such as D-CAP™+ architecture with
overlapping pulse support (undershoot reduction,
USR) and overshoot reduction (OSR) provide fast
transient response, lowest output capacitance and
high efficiency. All of these controllers also support
single-phase operation for light loads. The full
compliment of IMVP-7 I/O is integrated into the
controllers including dual PGOOD signals, ALERT
and VR_HOT. Adjustable control of V
and voltage positioning round out the IMVP-7
features. In addition, the controllers' CPU channel
includes two high-current FET gate drivers to drive
high-sideandlow-sideN-channelFETswith
exceptionally high speed and low switching loss. The
TPS51601 or TPS51601A driver is used for the third
phase of the CPU and the GPU channel.
The BOOT voltage (V
) on the TPS51640A and
BOOT
TPS59640 is 0 V. The TPS59641 is specifically
designed for a V
level of 1.1 V.
BOOT
These controllers are packaged in a space saving,
thermally enhanced 48-pin QFN. The TPS51640A is
rated tooperate from –10°Cto 105°C. The
TPS59640 and TPS59641 are rated to operate
from –40°C to 105°C.
