The TPS65581PWPR: Two channels deliver 2.5 A each, and a third delivers 1.5 A, all with synchronous rectification. The 700 kHz switching frequency is a practical middle ground — high enough to keep the output inductor in the 2.2 µH to 4.7 µH range for most designs, yet low enough to avoid excessive switching losses in the integrated FETs. The D-CAP2 architecture gives fast transient response without external compensation, which simplifies the BOM for point-of-load rails in set-top boxes, networking gear, and industrial control boards.
The base product number TPS65581 shares the same die and pinout across the PWP (tube) and PWPR (tape-and-reel) suffix variants — the PWPR is the reel-packaged version for automated assembly.
