The TPS5430DDAR is a high output current PWM converter produced by Texas Instruments that integrates a low-resistance, high-side N-channel MOS. Its substrate also includes a high-performance voltage error amplifier (which provides high voltage regulation accuracy under transient conditions), an undervoltage lockout circuit (used to prevent startup before the input voltage reaches 5.5V), and an internally set slow-start circuit ( for limiting inrush current) and a voltage feedforward circuit for improving transient response. With the ENA pin, the shutdown supply current can be reduced to typically 18µA. The assembly will be shipped in tape and reel packaging for efficient installation and safe delivery. The converter has a minimum operating temperature of -40°C and a maximum operating temperature of 125°C.

Ⅱ. Characteristics of TPS5430DDAR


The characteristics of TPS5430DDAR are as follows:


1. Wide input voltage range: The input voltage range of this chip is 5.5V to 36V, which has high adaptability.


2. High efficiency: The efficiency of TPS5430DDAR is as high as 95%, and it integrates a 110mΩ MOSFET switch internally. This highly efficient chip design helps reduce system energy consumption, thereby extending battery life.


3. Internal compensation: The internal compensation function of TPS5430DDAR can minimize the number of external components and simplify circuit design.


4. Fixed 500kHz switching frequency: The chip operates at a constant switching frequency of 500kHz, contributing to a fixed-frequency design that minimizes the filter size and, consequently, lowers the output ripple.


5. Overcurrent protection: In order to protect the chip and the connected circuit, it usually has an overcurrent protection function. The overcurrent protection function is an important feature of the TPS5430DDAR. It can perform corresponding protection actions when the output current exceeds the set threshold to prevent circuit damage.


6. Thermal shutdown: It usually also has an overheating protection function that can disconnect the output when the chip temperature is too high to prevent damage.


7.Soft start: In order to reduce the current impact during startup, the TPS5430DDAR may support the soft start function, which helps protect the circuit and allows the output voltage to rise slowly within a certain period of time.

As shown in the figure, the price of TPS5430DDAR showed an upward trend from April to June. This trend seems to be driven by market demand. Between June and November, the price of the chip began to fall. This downward trend could be due to an increase in the market's supply of this chip, or due to the emergence of other alternatives. Between November and December, its price began to rise again. The rally appears to be driven by a supply shortage, as demand for the chips appears to outstrip supply during this time period. The chip reached its highest price of 41.94 yuan in December and fell to its lowest price of 2.27 yuan in July and August. The average price of this chip in these months is 20.29 yuan.
