VR12.5/VR12-compliant DC/DC controllers and NexFET™ smart power stage deliver highest efficiency in smallest footprint
DALLAS, Aug. 12, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a complete multiphase core voltage (Vcore) power management system solution for enterprise servers, storage and high-end desktop applications. Compliant with Intel's VR12.5 and VR12 voltage regulation specifications, the TPS53661, TPS53641 and TPS53631 DC/DC controllers and CSD95372B and CSD95373B NexFET smart power stages are a state-of-the-art, digital multiphase solution to power the latest Intel® Xeon® processors. The complete solution features industry-leading efficiency at up to 95-percent in the smallest footprint. For more information, samples and an evaluation module, visit www.ti.com/tps53661-pr and www.ti.com/csd95372b-pr.
The TPS53661, TPS53641 and TPS53631 DC/DC controllers support 6-, 4- and 3-phase operation respectively, and incorporate TI's advanced D-CAP+™ control architecture and a feature-rich PMBus command set. The CSD95372B and CSD95373B synchronous buck NexFET smart power stage integrate an intelligent driver and power MOSFETs in a compact 5-mm by 6-mm package. Together, the products provide a complete multiphase Vcore system solution with superior transient performance, industry-benchmark telemetry accuracy and outstanding system reliability.
TPS53661, TPS53641 and TPS53631 key features and benefits
- TI's D-CAP+ architecture offers ultra-fast transient response. Its inherent design eliminates beat frequency.
- Dynamic current sharing and cycle-by-cycle current limit ensure robust multiphase regulator operation.
- Hybrid analog and digital topology delivers lowest quiescent power consumption, fastest dynamic performance and ultimate flexibility.
- Industry's smallest 5-mm by 5-mm package.
CSD95372B and CSD95373B key features and benefits
- Integrated current feedback with 3-percent accuracy eliminates the need for inductor DC resistance (DCR) sensing.
- High power density with best-in-class thermal performance.
- Optimized package footprint with DualCool™ packaging option, facilities easy layout and enhanced heat sinking.
