EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Application 1: Buck Regulator, 8-V to 12-V Input, 3.3 V or 5 V at 2.5-A Output
Overview
The buck regulator design shown in Figure 33 illustrates the use of the TPS40200. It delivers 2.5 A at either
3.3 V or 5 V as selected by a single feedback resistor. It achieves approximately 90% efficiency at 3.3 V and
94% at 5 V. A discussion of design tradeoffs and methodology is included to serve as a guide to the successful
design of forward converters using the TPS40200.
The Bill of Materials (BOM) for this application is given in Table 5. The efficiency and load regulation from boards
built from this design are shown in Figure 34 and Figure 35. Gerber files and additional application information
are available from the factory.
