Functional description
The TLE6389 step-down DC-DC switching controllers provide high efficiency over loads
ranging from 1mA up to 3A. A unique PWM/PFM control scheme operates with up to a
100% duty cycle, resulting in very low dropout voltage. This control scheme eliminates
minimum load requirements and reduces the supply current under light loads to 100µA.
These step-down controllers drive an external P-channel MOSFET, allowing design
flexibility for applications up to 3A. A high switching frequency (up to 350kHz) and

operation in continuous-conduction mode allow the use of tiny surface-mount inductors.
Output capacitor requirements are also reduced, minimizing PC board area and system
costs. The output voltage is preset at 5V (TLE6389-50) or 3.3V (TLE6389-33) and
adjustable for the TLE6389. Input voltages can be up to 60V.

Detailed Description
The TLE6389 family is a family of step-down DC-DC controllers designed primarily for
use in high voltage applications such as automotive. Using an external MOSFET and
current-sense resistor allows design flexibility and the improved efficiencies associated
with high-performance P-channel MOSFETs. A unique, current-limited, pulse-width
(PWM)/pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme gives these devices excellent
efficiency over load ranges up to three decades, while drawing less than 100µA under
no load. This wide dynamic range optimizes the TLE6389 for automotive applications,
where load currents can vary considerably as individual circuit blocks are turned on and
off to conserve energy. Operation to a 100% duty cycle allows the lowest possible
dropout voltage, allowing operation during cold cranking. High switching frequencies and
a simple circuit topology minimize PC board area and component costs.
The output voltage is sensed either by an internal voltage divider connected to the FB
pin (TLE6389-50 and TLE6389-33) or an external divider returned to the FB pin
(TLE6389).

Operating Modes
4.1.1
PWM Control Scheme
The TLE6389 uses a slope-compensated, current-mode PWM controller capable of
achieving 100% duty cycle. The device uses an oscillator-triggered, minimum on-time,
current-mode control scheme. The minimum on-time is approximately 200ns unless in
dropout. The maximum on-time is greater than 1/fOSC, allowing operation to 100% duty
cycle. Current-mode feedback provides cycle-by-cycle current limiting for superior loadand line-response and protection of the external MOSFET and rectifier diode. At each
falling edge of the internal oscillator, the oscillator cell sends a PWM ON signal to the
control and drive logic, turning on the external P-channel MOSFET. This allows current
to ramp up through the inductor to the load, and stores energy in a magnetic field. The
switch remains on until either the current-limit comparator is tripped or the PWM
comparator signals that the output is in regulation. When the switch turns off during the
second half of each cycle, the inductor’s magnetic field collapses, releasing the stored
energy and forcing current through the rectifier diode to the output-filter capacitor and
load. The output-filter capacitor stores charge when the inductor current is high and
releases it when the inductor current is low, thus smoothing the voltage across the load.
During normal operation, the TLE6389 regulates output voltage by switching at a
constant frequency and then modulating the power transferred to the load each cycle
using the PWM comparator. A multi-input comparator sums three weighted differential
signals: the output voltage with respect to the reference, the main switch current sense,
and the slope-compensation ramp. It modulates output power by adjusting the inductorpeak current during the first half of each cycle, based on the output-error voltage.
4.1.2
100% Duty-Cycle Operation and Dropout
The TLE6389 operates with a duty cycle up to 100%. This feature extends allows to
operate with the lowest possible drop at low battery voltage as it occurs at cold ambient
temperatures. The MOSFET is turned on continuously when the supply voltage
approaches the output voltage. This services the load when conventional switching
regulators with less than 100% duty cycle would fail. Dropout voltage is defined as the
difference between the input and output voltages when the input is low enough for the
output to drop out of regulation. Dropout depends on the MOSFET drain-to-source onresistance, current-sense resistor, and inductor series resistance, and is proportional to
the load current:
Dropout Voltage = IOUT x (RDS(ON) + RSENSE + RINDUCTOR)

4.1.3
PWM/PFM Operation
This control scheme overrides PWM mode and places the TLE6389 in PFM mode at
light loads to improve efficiency and reduce quiescent current to less than 100µA. The
pulse-skipping PFM operation is initiated when the peak inductor current drops below 0.1
x Ilimit. During PFM operation, the TLE6389 switches only as needed to service the load,
reducing the switching frequency and associated losses in the external switch, the
rectifier diode, and the external inductor. During PFM mode, a switching cycle initiates
when the PFM comparator senses that the output voltage has dropped too low. The Pchannel MOSFET switch turns on and conducts current to the output-filter capacitor and
load until the inductor current reaches the PFM peak voltage limit. Then the switch turns
off and the magnetic field in the inductor collapses, forcing current through the
synchronous rectifier to the output filter capacitor and load. Then the TLE6389 waits until
the PFM comparator senses a low output voltage again.
Output ripple is higher during PFM operation. A larger output-filter capacitor can be used
to minimize ripple.
4.2
SYNC Input and Frequency Control
The TLE6389’s internal oscillator is set for a fixed-switching frequency of 360kHz or can
be synchronized to an external clock. Do not leave SYNC unconnected. Connecting
SYNC to GND enables PWM/PFM operation to reduce supply current at light loads.
SYNC is a negative-edge triggered input that allows synchronization to an external
frequency ranging between 270kHz and 450kHz. When SYNC is clocked by an external
signal, the converter operates in PWM mode until the load current drops below the PWM
to PFM threshold. Thereafter the converter continues operation in PFM mode.
4.3
Shutdown Mode
Connecting ENABLE to GND places the TLE6389GV, TLE6389G33 and TLE6389G50
in shutdown mode. In shutdown, the reference, control circuitry, external switching
MOSFET, and the oscillator are turn off and the output falls to 0V. Connect ENABLE to
IN for normal operation.
4.4
SI_Enable
Connecting SI_ENABLE to 5V causes SI_GND to have low impedance. Thus the SI
comparator is operational and ca be used to monitor the battery voltage. SO output
signal is valid. Connecting SI_ENABLE to GND causes SI_GND to have high
impedance. Thus the SI comparator is not able to monitor the battery voltage. SO output
signal is invalid.

Quiescent Current
The device’s typical quiescent current is 50µA. However, actual applications draw
additional current to supply MOSFET switching currents, FB pin current, or external
feedback resistors (if used), and both the diode and capacitor leakage currents. For
example, with VS at 13.5V and VOUT at 5V, typical no-load supply current for the entire
circuit is TBDµA. When designing a circuit for high-temperature operation, select a
Schottky diode with low reverse leakage.

Application Information
5.1
Output Voltage Selection (TLE6389GV only)
Select an output voltage between 5V and 15V by connecting FB to a resistor-divider
between the output and GND. Select feedback resistor R2 in the 5kΩ to 500kΩ range.
R1 is then given by:
R1 = R2 [(VOUT / VFB) - 1]
where VFB = 1.25V. Add a small ceramic capacitor around 47pF to 100pF in parallel
with R1 to compensate for stray capacitance at the FB pin and output capacitor
equivalent series resistance (ESR).
5.2
Output Capacitor Selection
Choose input- and output-filter capacitors to service inductor currents with acceptable
voltage ripple. The input-filter capacitor also reduces peak currents and noise at the
voltage source. In addition, connect a low-ESR bulk capacitor (>10µF suggested) to the
input. Select this bulk capacitor to meet the input ripple requirements and voltage rating,
rather than capacitor size. Use the following equation to calculate the maximum RMS
input current:
IRMS = IOUT[VOUT (VIN - VOUT)]1/2 · VIN
When selecting an output capacitor, consider the output- ripple voltage and approximate
it as the product of the ripple current and the ESR of the output capacitor.
VRIPPLE = [VOUT (VIN - VOUT)] / [2 · fOSC(L) (VIN)] · ESRCOUT
where ESRCOUT is the equivalent-series resistance of the output capacitor. Higher
values of COUT provide improved output ripple and transient response. Lower oscillator
frequencies require a larger-value output capacitor. Verify capacitor selection with light
loads during PFM operation, since output ripple is higher under these conditions. LowESR capacitors are recommended. Capacitor ESR is a major contributor to output ripple
(usually more than 60%). Ordinary aluminum-electrolytic capacitors have high ESR and
should be avoided. Low-ESR aluminum-electrolytic capacitors are acceptable and
relatively inexpensive. Low-ESR tantalum capacitors are better and provide a compact

ratings of tantalum capacitors. Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR overall.
