PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS57140-EP uses an adjustable fixed-frequency, peak-current mode control. External resistors on the VSENSE pin compare the output voltage to an internal voltage reference by an error amplifier which drives the COMP pin. An internal oscillator initiates the turnon of the high-side power switch. The device compares the error-amplifier output to the high-side power-switch current. When the power-switch current reaches the COMP voltage level, the power switch turns off. The COMP pin voltage increases and decreases as the output current increases and decreases. The device implements a current limit by clamping the COMP pin voltage to a maximum level. A minimum clamp on the COMP pin implements the Eco-mode control scheme.
