The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Texas Instruments TPS546D24A, which is a DC/DC Step-Down converter that supports split rail from 2.95 V to 16 V VIN. It is designed for high frequency operation and can deliver a current output of up to 40 A. As it is used for 5G applications, it can also resist temperatures from -40°C to 150°C. This full reverse costing analysis aims to explore critical aspects, revealing the physical characteristics, manufacturing process and costs, as well as estimating the selling price of this IC.
The physical analysis includes high quality images of both the cross-section and the top view of the IC, which allow for a thorough understanding of the technological process involved in the Texas Instruments DC/DC converters production. The manufacturing process and the supply chain is simulated to give a precise estimation of both front End and back End Cost including estimated final component price.
