FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
A. Block diagram shown is for PWP 14 pin package. QFN 16 pin package block diagram is identical except for pin out.
OVERVIEW
The TPS54226 is a 2-A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated N-channel MOSFETs and
Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ to improve light lode efficiency. It operates using D-CAP2™ mode control. The fast
transient response of D-CAP2™ control reduces the output capacitance required to meet a specific level of
performance. Proprietary internal circuitry allows the use of low ESR output capacitors including ceramic and
special polymer types.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS54226 is an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller that
supports a proprietary D-CAP2™ mode control. D-CAP2™ mode control combines constant on-time control with
an internal compensation circuit for pseudo-fixed frequency and low external component count configuration with
both low ESR and ceramic output capacitors. It is stable even with virtually no ripple at the output.
At the beginning of each cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on. This MOSFET is turned off after internal one
