Designers can stack two converters side by side to drive loads up to 80A for processors in space-constrained and power-dense applications in various markets, including wired and wireless communications, enterprise and cloud computing, and data storage systems.
The internally compensated ACM control topology with fast transient response maintains stability over a wide range of input and output voltages.
What makes ACM different is that it is an emulated peak-current-mode control topology that internally generates a ramp with the ability to dynamically adjust for stability over a wide range of operating switching frequencies.
This provides the best of both traditional fixed frequency for low noise operation and Constant On-Time (COT) control for fast transient without external compensation.
To understand the difference between TI’s various control modes, read the blog post – ‘Lightning-fast internally compensated ACM topology – what can it do for you?‘ and the ‘Control-Mode Quick Reference Guide‘.
