ABSTRACT
This application report describes the design procedure for a small-size, high-frequency
application using SWIFT synchronous buck regulators. It shows that the compensation
circuitry of the regulators, with the minimum size output filter and fast transient response,
provides the 150-kHz unity gain bandwidth of the open feedback loop. The design is
illustrated by the 6-A DDR memory, V
TT
tracking regulator TPS54672. The regulator
occupies only 1.33” x 0.445” x 0.3” board space including input and output filters. The
schematic, bill of materials, and main performance curves complete the evaluation of the
design example.
