Texas Instruments TPS61289 20A Buck-Boost Converter

Texas Instruments TPS61289 20A Buck-Boost Converter is a bidirectional buck/boost synchronous converter that integrates the high-side synchronous rectifier MOSFET and uses an external low-side MOSFET. The TPS61289 can be configured as a buck or boost converter using the MODE pin. The TPS61289 can support a 20A switching current, and the VHIGH voltage supports up to 25V. The minimum VLOW voltage is determined by the VLOW/VHIGH ratio and frequency; for example, the VLOW voltage can support as low as 0.5V at the VHIGH = 15V condition. The device provides an excellent balance of efficiency, thermal dissipation, and solution size for high-power bidirectional conversion.

The TPS61289 offers an adjustable switching current limit function. In addition, the device provides VHIGH overvoltage and undervoltage protection, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown protection. The Texas Instruments TPS61289 offers a very small solution size with a 2.5mmx3.0mm VQFN HotRod™ Lite package with minimal external components.
