Project Specification

1. Executive Summary

What board we're building and the intended outcome in one paragraph. This project implements a complete synchronous buck converter around the TI TPS54336A family device (target MPN TPS54336ADRCR) to regulate a noisy 23 V to 25 V input (24 V nominal) down to a 5 V rail. The design must support 0.1 A to 2.0 A loads with operational load steps in 0.3 A increments up to 2.0 A while keeping output ripple within 5% of 5 V and mitigating input cable noise (1 m cable from remote PSU).

2. Goals and Non-Goals

What must be true in this rev, and what is explicitly out of scope. ...

2.1 Goals

Regulate 23 V to 25 V input to a stable 5 V output.
Support load current range 0.1 A to 2.0 A (continuous).
Handle load steps of 0.3 A up to 2.0 A without instability.
Keep Vout ripple IC high-side FET -> SW node -> return to input cap).
Keep SW node copper compact and away from feedback network.
Route VSENSE divider to quiet ground; connect compensation components to IC ground reference.
Place bootstrap capacitor close between BOOT and PH.
Place input HF MLCCs close to VIN/GND pins.

5.4 Cost and Sourcing Constraints

Target cost range, availability requirements, preferred vendors/alternates policy. ...

6. Assumptions and Dependencies

What we assume is true, and what the design depends on (parts, standards, external systems). ...

7. Validation Criteria

What “done” means in terms of checks and evidence (not task lists). ...

7.1 Acceptance Tests

...

7.2 Review Checklist
