Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPSM82821,
Good day everybody,
I'm looking at the TPSM828301 and the TPSM82821 as possible DCDCs for a wireless sensor node. My questions:
1. As the 301 is newer and quite similar in specs to the 821, are there any specific shortcomings of the 821 that the newer part addresses? Advantages I currently see are the optimized EMI, higher efficiency at 3V3, possibly the 2Mhz switching frequency.
Specifics for my design: I use an onboard WiFi Chipset (2.4GHz) and will run the module on 3V3. The system will have a low-current operation mode with ~0.5mA draw, and a high-current one with ~100mA average.
2. Octopart shows currently no available stock for the 301. What is the timetable on availability?
3. I looked at the respective EVMs for both modules - As the default voltage for the EVM is 1.8V, I should be able to just desolder/replace the setting resistor(s) to change to my system voltage of 3.3V, correct?
Thank you for your help,
best regards
