Das Buck 22 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die die Spannung von ihrem Eingang (Versorgung) zu ihrem Ausgang (Last) heruntersetzt. Diese Platine verfügt über den TPS62869, einen hochfrequenten synchronen Abwärtswandler mit einer I2C-Schnittstelle von Texas Instruments, der eine effiziente, adaptive und hochleistungsdichte Lösung bietet. Der TPS62869 arbeitet bei mittleren bis hohen Lasten im PWM-Modus (für die geringste Welligkeit der Ausgangsspannung). Bei geringer Last wechselt er automatisch in den Energiesparmodus, um eine hohe Effizienz über den gesamten Ausgangslaststrombereich aufrechtzuerhalten. Mit seiner DCS-Control™-Architektur werden eine ausgezeichnete Lastübergangsleistung und eine hohe Ausgangsspannungsgenauigkeit sowie ein einstellbarer Ausgangsspannungsbereich von 0,8 V bis 3,35 V mit einer Schrittweite von 10 mV erreicht. Dieses Click Board™ wird verwendet, um die erforderliche Eingangsspannung von einer höheren Spannungsquelle für FPGAs, ASICs, Videochipsätze, Halbleiterlaufwerke und vieles mehr abzuleiten.
Das Buck 22 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ ist ein gründlich getestetes Produkt und kann auf einem System verwendet werden, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The uck 22 Click Board™ Work?
The Buck 22 Click Board™ is based on the TPS62869, a synchronous step-down converter with an I2C interface from Texas Instruments. The TPS62869 base its work on the DCS-Control™ topology and operates in PWM (pulse width modulation) mode for medium to heavy load conditions and Power Save Mode at light load currents. In PWM mode, the converter operates with its nominal switching frequency of 2.4MHz, having a controlled frequency variation over the input voltage range from the VIN terminal from 2.4 up to 5.5V. Because DCS-Control™ supports both operation modes (PWM and PFM selectable through a serial interface) within a single building block, the transition from PWM mode to Power Save Mode is seamless and without effects on the output voltage, providing an efficient, adaptive, and high power-density solution.
With its DCS-Control™ architecture, excellent load transient performance and tight output voltage accuracy are achieved alongside adjustable output voltage and current ranges from 0.8V to 3.35V and up to 6A on the VOUT terminal with a 10mV step size. As the load current decreases, the TPS62869 enters Power Save Mode operation, which occurs when the inductor current becomes discontinuous, reaching 0A during a switching cycle. In Power Save Mode, the output voltage rises slightly above the nominal output voltage.
The Buck 22 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings, supporting a Fast Mode operation up to 400kHz. Besides, it also possesses the power-good function, routed to the red LED marked as PWR and INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, indicating that the output reached regulation.
The Buck 22 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
