Convertor integrates FETs to simplify
3.3V supply
The latest addition to the Swift family of power management ICs is a high-efficiency step-down, continuous-output 14A DC/DC convertor with peak 18A FETs integrated onto a single chip.
Extending its family of easy-to-use Swift power management ICs, Texas Instruments has released a high-efficiency step-down, continuous-output 14A DC/DC convertor with peak 18A FETs integrated onto a single chip The new synchronous device gives point-of-load designers greater flexibility and faster time to market when designing 3.3V industrial and telecomms systems that use high-performance DSPs, FPGAs and microprocessors

Reference design for wireless optical comms
A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
TI's high-performance TPS54010 Swift (switcher with integrated FET technology) convertor provides more than 90% power efficiency and 1% output voltage accuracy (down to 0.9V), and integrates an array of control and supervisory features.
For better noise performance, the device's switching frequency is fixed over the entire output current range, and can be adjusted up to 700kHz to reduce the size of passive components.
The Swift device comes with an interactive software development tool and an evaluation module that helps power system level designers meet aggressive equipment development cycles.
The Swift Designer software, available free through power.ti.com/swift, provides a bill of materials, reference schematic, loop response graphs and an efficiency curve based on the designer's inputs.
In addition, more than a dozen application notes on TI's TPS54xxx family of Swift ICs are available for download to guide designers through such topics as sequencing, adjusting the output compensation, and designing with high-frequency applications.
The TPS54010 is available today in volume production from TI and its authorised distributors.
The device comes in a small 28-pin HTSSOP (6.4 x 9.7mm), PowerPad package for thermal enhancement and space savings.
Suggested resale pricing is $5.70 each in quantities of 1000.
