1.8 V. The current requirements can range from below 1 A to over 15 A. For high-efficiency and small circuit size the TPS40051 wide-input synchronous buck controller can be used to provide the necessary control and drive functions to implement these converters. The TPS40051EVM–001 operates at 300 kHz and delivers 1.8 V at 15 A with efficiency over 90% for much of the load range, and a full...
Frequency of Operation The clock oscillator frequency for the TPS40051 is programmed with a single resistor from RT (pin 2) to signal ground. The following equation (1) from the datasheet allows selection of RT in k frequency in kHz.
