Texas Instruments LP8772x-Q1 Low-Noise Buck Converters

Texas Instruments LP8772x-Q1 Low-Noise Buck Converters are designed to meet the power management requirements of the AWR, IWR, and other MMICs in various automotive and industrial radar applications. The device has three step-down DC/DC converters, an LDO regulator, and a load switch. The LDO is powered externally and intended to supply power to an Ethernet device or any other device in the system. The load switch is intended to cut off the 3.3V IO supply during the sensor sleep mode. The device is controlled by the I2C communication interface and by enable signals.

The low-noise step-down DC/DC converters support factory-programmed switching frequencies of 17.6MHz, 8.8MHz, or 4.4MHz. High switching frequency and low noise across a wide frequency range enables an LDO-free power solution, which helps to reduce the solution cost and improve thermal performance. The switching clock is forced to PWM mode for excellent RF performance and can be synchronized to an external clock. The Texas Instruments LP8772x-Q1 device supports remote voltage sensing to compensate for IR drop between the regulator output and the point-of-load (POL), improving the output voltage's accuracy.
