Smart Buck 8 Click providing a high-current adjustable step-down power solution for embedded systems

Add flexible high-current step-down power for embedded systems with the TPS6286B08

 

Smart Buck 8 Click is a compact add-on board that provides a high-current step-down power solution for embedded systems. It's based on the TPS6286B08, a high-frequency synchronous 8A step-down converter with an I2C interface from Texas Instruments.

 

KEY FEATURES:
 

  • Click Snap: A feature of our standardized Click add-on boards, designed to help you reduce size, weight, and power consumption for final phase prototyping
  • High-Current 8A Step-Down Converter: Delivers up to 8A of output current for demanding loads
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: Supports an input voltage from 2.4V to 5.5V
  • Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS): The output voltage is adjustable from 0.4V to 1.675V in fine 5mV steps via I2C
  • Excellent Transient Response: Features DCS-Control architecture for quick and stable response to load changes
  • Start-up Voltage: Has a low start-up voltage of 0.9V
  • Integrated Protections: Includes HICCUP short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown for enhanced safety

 

APPLICATIONS:
 

  • Ideal for powering the core voltages of FPGAs, CPUs, ASICs, and DSPs
  • Suitable for applications with high power requirements, such as machine vision cameras, IP network cameras, and solid-state drives (SSDs)
  • Any embedded system requiring a compact, high-current, and configurable power solution

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™

Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.

ABOUT MIKROE

MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1850+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
