Pin Name 1 BS 2 VIN 3 SW 4 GND 5 FB 6 COMP 7 EN 8 SS Pin Description High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET switch. Connect a 0.01µF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high side switch. Power Input. IN supplies the power to the IC, as well as the step-down converter switches. Drive IN with a 4.75V to 23V power source. Bypass IN to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC. See Input Capacitor. Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect the output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS to power the high-side switch. Ground. Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage to regulate that voltage. Drive FB with a resistive voltage divider from the output voltage. The feedback threshold is 0.925V. See Setting the Output Voltage. Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series RC network from COMP to GND to compensate the regulation control loop. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is required. See Compensation Components. Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the regulator, drive it low to turn it off. Pull up with 100kΩ resistor for automatic startup. Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start period. A 0.1µF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 15ms. To disable the soft-start feature, leave SS unconnected. 3/11 Version: B11 TS3553 3A/350kHz Synchronous Buck DC/DC Converter Function Description The TS3553 is a constant frequency current mode step-down synchronous DC/DC converter. It regulates input voltage from 4.75V to 23V, down to an output voltage as low as 0.925V, and can provide 3A of continuous load current. Control Loop During normal operation, the output voltage is sensed at FB pin through a resistive voltage divider and amplified through the error amplifier. The voltage of error amplifier output pin – COMP is compared to the switch current to controls the RS latch. At each cycle, the high side NMOS would be turned on when the oscillator sets the RS latch and would be turned off when current comparator resets the RS latch. When the load current increases, the FB pin voltage drops below 0.925V, it causes the COMP voltage increase until average inductor current arrive at new load current. Enable The TS3553 EN pin provides digital control to turn on/turn off the regulator. When the voltage of EN exceeds the threshold voltage, the regulator starts the soft start function. If the EN pin voltage is below than the threshold voltage, only the bandgap voltage is alive. If the EN pin voltage is below than the shutdown threshold voltage, the regulator will be disable and into the shutdown mode. Maximum Load Current The maximum load current decreases at lower input voltage because of large IR drop on the high side switch and low side switch. The slope compensation signal reduces the peak inductor current as a function of the duty cycle to prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than 50%. Output Over Voltage Protection When the FB pin voltage exceeds 20% of the regulation voltage, the output over voltage protection function will discharge the COMP pin and the SS pin to GND, turning the high side MOSFET off. Input Under Voltage Lockout When the TS3553 power on, the internal circuits are held inactive until VIN exceeds the input UVLO threshold voltage. And the regulator will be disabled when VIN below the input UVLO threshold voltage. The hysteretic of the UVLO comparator is 400 mV. Short Circuit Protection The TS3553 provides short circuit protection function to prevent the device damage from short condition. When the output short to ground, the oscillator frequency is reduced to prevent the inductor current increasing beyond the current limit. In the meantime, the current limit is also reduced to lower the short current. Once the short condition is removed, the frequency and current limit will return to normal. Over Temperature Protection The TS3553 incorporates an over temperature protection circuit to protect itself from overheating. When the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold temperature, the regulator will be shutdown. Compensation The stability of the feedback circuit is controlled through COMP pin. The compensation value of the application circuit is optimized for particular requirements. If different conversions are requires, some of the components may need to be changes to ensure stability. 4/11 Version: B11 TS3553 3A/350kHz Synchronous Buck DC/DC Converter Application Information Setting Output Voltage The output voltage is set using a resistive divider from the output to FB. The FB pin regulated voltage is 0.925V. Thus the output voltage is: R2 recommended value is 10KΩ~30KΩ, so R1 is determined by: R1 = 10.81 x (VOUT – 0.925) KΩ Recommended Component Selection VIN (V) 12 5 or 12 5 or 12 5 or 12 5 or 12 VOUT (V) 5 3.3 1.8 1.2 1 R1 (KΩ) 44.1 25.7 9.5 3 0.81 R2 (KΩ) 10 10 10 10 10 R3 (KΩ) 2.2 2.2 2.2 2.2 2.2 C3 (nF) 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 3.3 L1 (µH) 15 10 4.7 3.3 2.2 COUT (µF) 10 X 2 10 X 2 10 X 2 10 X 2 10 X 2 Selecting Inductor The inductor selection depends on the current ripple of inductor, the input voltage and the output voltage. Accepting a large current ripple of inductor allows the use of a smaller inductance. However, higher current ripple of inductor can cause higher output ripple voltage and large core loss. By setting an acceptable current ripple of inductor, a suitable inductance can be obtained from above formula. In addition, it is important to ensure the inductor saturation current exceeds the peak value of inductor current in application to prevent core saturation. The peak value of inductor current can be calculated according to the following formula. Soft-Start The TS3553 provides the soft-start function. Initially, the voltage at SS pin is 0V. Then an internal current source of 6A (typ.) charges an external soft-start capacitor. During the soft-start period, the voltage at SS pin will limit the feedback threshold voltage at FB pin. When the voltage at SS pin is higher than 0.925V, the feedback threshold voltage at FB pin reaches the desired value. The soft-start time can be calculated in accordance with the following formula: The soft-start capacitor is discharged to GND when the EN pin is connected to GND 5/11 Version: B11 TS3553 3A/350kHz Synchronous Buck DC/DC Converter Application Information (Continue) Optional Schottky Diode A Schottky diode with low forward drop voltage and fast reverse recovery is the ideal choice for better efficiency. The forward drop voltage of a Schottky diode will result in the conduction losses in the diode, and the diode capacitance (CT or CD) will cause the switching losses. Therefore, it is necessary to consider both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance for diode selection. In addition, the rating of selected Schottky diode should be able to handle the input voltage and the maximum peak diode current. Input Capacitor the Output Capacitor To prevent the high input voltage ripple and noise resulted from high frequency switching, the use of low ESR ceramic capacitor for the maximum RMS current is recommended. The approximated RMS current of the input capacitor can be calculated according to the following formula. The selection of output capacitor depends on the required output voltage ripple. The output voltage ripple can be expressed as: For lower output voltage ripple, the use of low ESR ceramic capacitor is recommended. The tantalum capacitor can also be used well, but its ERS is larger than that of ceramic capacitor. When choosing the input and output ceramic capacitors, X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider ranges of voltage and temperature than other types. Loop Compensation In order to avoid the poor output voltage ripple and low efficiency caused by instability, TS3553 requires a proper external compensation network to compensate its feedback loop. In this external compensation network, the compensation resistor, RC, and the compensation capacitor, CC, are used to set the high-frequency integrator gain and the integrator zero. C7 is used to cancel the zero caused by the output capacitor and it’s ESR. While using the ceramic capacitor as the output capacitor, C7 can be omitted due to the small ESR. The system has one pole of importance, due to the output capacitor, C3//C4 and the load resistor. This poles is located at: 6/11 Version: B11 TS3553 3A/350kHz Synchronous Buck DC/DC Converter Application Information (Continue) Loop Compensation The system has one zero of importance, due to the compensation capacitor, Cc and the compensation resistor, Rc. This zero is located at: The system may have another zero of importance, if the output capacitor has a large capacitance and/or a high ESR value. The zero, due to the ESR and capacitance of the output capacitor, is located at: In this case, a third pole set by the compensation capacitor, C7 and the compensation resistor, Rc is used to compensate the effect of the ESR zero on the loop gain. This pole is located at: The values of the compensation components given in this data sheet yield a stable control loop for the given output voltage and capacitor. If different conversions and output capacitors are requires, some values of the compensation components may need to be adjusted to ensure stability. 7/11 Version: B11 TS3553 3A/350kHz Synchronous Buck DC/DC Converter Electrical Characteristics Curve (TA=25ºC, C1=10µF, C2=22µF, C3=0.1µF, L1=10µH unless otherwise noted) Figure 1.
