(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. All voltage values are with respect to the network ground terminal unless otherwise noted.

The TPS51120 is a highly sophisticated dual current mode synchronous step-down controller. It is a full featured controller designed to run directly off a three or four-cell Li-ion battery and provide high-power and 5-V and/or 3.3-V standby regulation for all the down-stream circuitry in a notebook computer system. High current, 100-mA, 5-V or 3.3-V on-board linear regulators have glitch-free switch over function to SMPS and can be kept alive independently during standby state. The pseudo-constant frequency adaptive on-time control scheme of TPS51120 supports full range of current mode operation including simplified loop compensation, ceramic output capacitors as well as seamless transition to reduced frequency operation at light-load condition. Optional D-CAP™ mode operation optimized for SP-CAP or POSCAP output capacitors allows further reduction of external compensation parts. Dynamic UVP supports VIN line sag without latch off by hitting 5V UVP. No negative voltage of TPS51120 appears at output voltage node during UVLO, UVP, and OCP, OTP or loss of VIN.


The TPS51120 32-pin QFN package is specified from 40°C to 85°C ambient temperature.
