TPS43060RTER

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The TPS43060RTER is a low quiescent current synchronous boost DC-DC controller manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 38V and supports output voltages up to 58V. The device features a 7.5V gate drive optimized for standard threshold MOSFETs and utilizes current mode control with internal slope compensation. Key electrical parameters include a switch frequency range of 50 kHz to 1 MHz, a maximum duty cycle of 50%, and a working supply current of 600 µA. It is housed in a 16-pin WQFN package measuring 3 mm × 3 mm.

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RTER' corresponds to the reel packaging configuration required for your assembly line. Confirm that the 16-WQFN footprint matches your PCB layout, specifically noting the PowerPAD thermal requirements. Ensure component authenticity through authorized channels to guarantee compliance with RoHS standards and long-term reliability specifications.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller when a wide input voltage range up to 38V and high output capability are required. The 7.5V gate drive makes it suitable for driving standard N-channel MOSFETs rather than low-Qg NexFET devices. Consider this part for designs needing integrated DCR sensing and robust protection features within a compact surface-mount package.

DC DC Switching Controllers Part Context

This component belongs to the TPS4306x family of low IQ synchronous boost controllers. It shares architectural similarities with the TPS43061 but differs in gate drive optimization. While the TPS43061 targets low-Qg NexFETs with a 5.5V drive, the TPS43060 provides a 7.5V drive for broader MOSFET compatibility. Both share the same compact WQFN-16 form factor.

DC DC Switching Controllers Replacement Considerations

The TPS43061RTET is a related variant within the same family, distinguished by its 5.5V gate drive optimized for low-Qg NexFETs and an integrated bootstrap diode.
