STEP BY STEP DESIGN PROCEDURE
The following design procedure can be used to select component values for the TPS54232. Alternately, the
SwitcherPro™Software may be used to generate a complete design. The SwitcherPro™ Software uses an
iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive database of components when generating a design.
This section presents a simplified discussion of the design process.
To begin the design process a few parameters must be decided upon. The designer needs to know the following:
• Input voltage range
• Output voltage
• Input ripple voltage
• Output ripple voltage
• Output current rating
• Operating frequency
For this design example, use the following as the input parameters
Table 3. Design Parameters
DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Input voltage range 5 V to 15V
Output voltage 2.5 V
Input ripple voltage 300 mV
Output ripple voltage 30 mV
Output current rating 2 A
Operating Frequency 1 MHz
SWITCHING FREQUENCY
The switching frequency for the TPS54232 is fixed at 1 MHz.
