Description
The
TC1303/TC1304
combines
a
500 mA
synchronous buck regulator and 300 mA Low-Dropout
Regulator (LDO) with a power-good monitor to provide
a highly integrated solution for devices that require
multiple supply voltages. The unique combination of an
integrated buck switching regulator and low-dropout
linear regulator provides the lowest system cost for
dual-output voltage applications that require one lower
processor core voltage and one higher bias voltage.
The 500 mA synchronous buck regulator switches at a
fixed frequency of 2.0 MHz when the load is heavy,
providing a low noise, small-size solution. When the
load on the buck output is reduced to light levels, it
changes operation to a Pulse Frequency Modulation
(PFM) mode to minimize quiescent current draw from
the battery. No intervention is necessary for smooth
transition from one mode to another.
The LDO provides a 300 mA auxiliary output that
requires a single 1 µF ceramic output capacitor,
minimizing board area and cost. The typical dropout
voltage for the LDO output is 137 mV for a 200 mA
load.
For the TC1303/TC1304, the power-good output is
based on the regulation of the buck regulator output, the
LDO output or the combination of both. The TC1304
features start-up and shutdown output sequencing.
The TC1303/TC1304 is available in either the 10-pin
DFN or MSOP package.
Additional protection features include: UVLO,
overtemperature and overcurrent protection on both
outputs.
