Texas Instruments TPS51123, User Manual, Page: 2 / 18

1 Introduction
The TPS51123 is a cost effective, dual-synchronous buck controller targeted for notebook system power supply
solutions. It provides 5-V and 3.3-V LDOs and requires few external components. The TPS51123 supports
high-efficiency, fast transient response and provides a combined power-good signal. Out-of-Audio
™ mode light-
load operation enables low acoustic noise at much higher efficiency than conventional forced PWM operation.
Adaptive on-time D-CAP
™ control provides convenient and efficient operation. The device operates with supply
input voltages ranging from 5.5 V to 28 V and supports output voltages from 2 V to 5.5 V.
The TPS51123EVM evaluation module is a high-efficiency, dual synchronous buck converter providing 5 V at 8 A
and 3.3 V at 8 A from a 8-V to 25-V input.
