DS160PR410
DS160PR410 is a high-performance power management integrated circuit (PMIC) manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for efficient voltage regulation in advanced electronic systems. It features a dual-channel buck converter architecture that delivers precise and stable output voltages with high efficiency across a wide input range, typically from 3.5V to 28V. The device supports synchronous rectification in both channels, reducing power loss and improving thermal performance, making it ideal for applications requiring compact, reliable power solutions.
This PMIC includes built-in current limiting, over-voltage protection (OVP), under-voltage lockout (UVLO), and thermal shutdown mechanisms, ensuring robust operation under fault conditions. Its adaptive control loop enables fast transient response, minimizing voltage deviations during load changes—critical for powering sensitive digital processors, FPGAs, and memory modules. The DS160PR410 also incorporates programmable soft-start functionality to reduce inrush current and prevent stress on the power supply network during startup.
Designed for industrial and automotive applications, the device operates reliably over an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, meeting stringent environmental standards such as AEC-Q100 for automotive use. It supports remote sensing via dedicated sense pins, enhancing accuracy by compensating for voltage drops in PCB traces. The chip integrates low-side driver circuits and supports external compensation for flexibility in system design, allowing engineers to tailor performance based on specific load requirements.
With a compact 4mm x 4mm QFN package and minimal external component count, the DS160PR410 simplifies board layout while maintaining high power density. It is compatible with standard PWM control schemes and offers configurable frequency operation from 200kHz to 2MHz, enabling optimization between efficiency, size, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance. Additionally, the IC supports I²C-based monitoring and configuration, allowing real-time diagnostics and dynamic adjustment of operating parameters through software.
The DS160PR410 is widely used in industrial automation, medical equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and automotive infotainment systems where stable, efficient, and scalable power delivery is essential. Its combination of high integration, safety features, and flexible configuration makes it a preferred choice for designers seeking to minimize footprint while maximizing reliability and performance in demanding environments.
