• Surface mount installation type suitable for automated assembly

Applications

• Photovoltaic solar energy systems
• Solar charge controllers
• Portable solar power devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging and temperature grade specifications. Confirm that the tube packaging variant aligns with the intended manufacturing process requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring dedicated MPPT functionality in space-constrained environments. Ensure the 28-TSSOP footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal management capabilities are sufficient for the expected operating conditions given the package size.

Part Context

This part is part of Texas Instruments' portfolio of specialized power management integrated circuits. It serves as a dedicated controller for solar energy harvesting applications, distinct from general-purpose switching regulators by its specific algorithmic focus on maximum power point tracking.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official TI product selection guide for direct pin-to-pin replacements or functional equivalents within the SM724xx series. Verify compatibility with existing system voltage levels and control interfaces before substituting.
