Figure 24. Application Circuit, 12 V to 3.3 V
Figure 24 shows the schematic for a typical TPS54350
application. The TPS54350 can provide up to 3-A output
current at a nominal output voltage of 3.3 V. For proper
thermal performance, the exposed PowerPAD underneath
the device must be soldered down to the printed circuit
board.
For this design example, use the following as the input
parameters:

NOTE:
The following design procedure can be used to select
component values for the TPS54350. Alternately, the
SWIFT Designer Software may be used to generate a
complete design. The SWIFT Designer Software uses an
iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive
database of components when generating a design. This
section presents a simplified discussion of the design
process.
As an additional constraint, the design is set up to be small size
and low component height.
SWITCHING FREQUENCY
The switching frequency is set using the RT pin.
Grounding the RT pin sets the PWM switching frequency
to a default frequency of 250 kHz. Floating the RT pin sets
the PWM switching frequency to 500 kHz. By connecting
a resistor from RT to AGND, any frequency in the range of
250 to 700 kHz can be set. Use equation 8 to determine the
proper value of RT.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
To begin the design process a few parameters must be
decided upon. The designer needs to know the following:

INPUT CAPACITORS
The TPS54350 requires an input decoupling capacitor
and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor.
The minimum value for the decoupling capacitor, C9, is
