FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The TPS54120 combines the high-efficiency of a
• Low-Noise Output: 17 µV
RMS
at 100 Hz to
step-down switching (dc-dc) converter with a high
1 MHz
power-supply rejection (PSR), low-noise, low-dropout
• Wide Input Voltage Range: 4.5 V to 17 V
regulator (LDO) to provide an ultra low-noise power
• High Efficiency: 72% at 1 A, 12V Input
supply that delivers quiet power rails to noise-
sensitive applications.
• Excellent Load/Line Transient Response
With a wide input range of 4.5 V to 17 V, the
• Synchronizable to External Clock: 200 kHz to
TPS54120 is ideally suited for systems with 12-V
1.2 MHz
power busses, and supports a 1-A continuous output
• Small Package: 3.5 mm × 5.5 mm QFN-24
current. The output voltage can be set from 0.8 V to
6.0 V using external resistors. The dc-dc converter
APPLICATIONS
and LDO are completely configurable, allowing the
TPS54120 to be used in a wide range of low-noise
• Telecom Infrastructure
applications. In addition, the TPS54120 includes
• Pico and Femto Base Stations
features such as softstart, switching frequency
• Powering Sensitive Clocking Distribution
synchronization, and a power-good signal.
Circuits
The device is available in a space-saving, 3.5-mm ×
• Test and Measurement
5.5-mm QFN package, and is specified to operate
• Powering RF Components: VCOs, Receivers,
over a –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
ADCs
• Professional Audio
