5 Description (continued)

To further assist users in the strict management of their energy budgets, the TPS6273x toggles the input power-good indicator to signal an attached microprocessor when the voltage on the input supply has dropped below a preset critical level. This signal is intended to trigger the reduction of load currents to prevent the system from entering an undervoltage condition. In addition, independent enable signals allow the system to control whether the converter is regulating the output, monitoring only the input voltage, or to shut down in an ultra-low quiescent sleep state.

The input power-good threshold and output regulator levels are programmed independently through external resistors.

All the capabilities of TPS6273x are packed into a small footprint 14-lead 3.5-mm × 3.5-mm QFN package (RGY).
