The TPS6235x device is a high-frequency
synchronous step-down dc-dc converter optimized
for battery-powered portable applications. Intended
for low-power applications, the TPS6235x supports
up to 800-mA load current and allows the use of
small, low cost inductors and capacitors.
The device is ideal for mobile phones and similar
portable applications powered by a single-cell Li-Ion
battery. With an output voltage range adjustable via
I2C interface down to 0.6 V, the device supports
low-voltage DSPs and processors core power
supplies in smart-phones, PDAs, and handheld
computers.
The TPS6235x operates at 3-MHz fixed switching
frequency and enters the efficiency optimized
power-save mode operation at light load currents to
maintain high efficiency over the entire load current
range. In the shutdown mode, the current
consumption is reduced to less than 2 µA.
The serial interface is compatible with Fast/Standard
and High-Speed mode I2C specification allowing
transfers at up to 3.4 Mbps. This communication
interface is used for dynamic voltage scaling with
voltage steps down to 12.5 mV, for reprogramming
the mode of operation (Light PFM, Fast PFM or
Forced PWM) or disable/enabling the output voltage.

SLVS540B – MAY 2006 – REVISED DECEMBER 2006
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Operation
The TPS6235x is a synchronous step-down converter typically operating with a 3-MHz fixed frequency pulse
width modulation (PWM) at moderate to heavy load currents. At light load currents, the converter operates in
power-save mode with pulse frequency modulation (PFM). The device integrates two power-save modes
optimized either for ultra-high efficiency at light load (light PFM) or for transient response when turning in PWM
operation (fast PFM). Both power-save modes automatically transition to PWM operation when the load current
increases.
The TPS6235x integrates an I2C compatible interface allowing transfers up to 3.4 Mbps. This communication
interface can be used for dynamic voltage scaling with voltage steps down to 12.5 mV, for reprogramming the
mode of operation (light PFM, fast PFM or forced PWM) or disable/enabling the output voltage for instance. For
more details, refer to the I2C interface and register description section.
During PWM operation, the converter uses a unique fast response, voltage mode, control scheme with input
voltage feed-forward. This achieves best-in-class load and line response and allows the use of tiny inductors
and small ceramic input and output capacitors. At the beginning of each switching cycle, the P-channel
MOSFET switch is turned on and the inductor current ramps up until the comparator trips and the control logic
turns off the switch. The operating frequency is set to 3 MHz and can be synchronized on-the-fly to an external
oscillator or to a master dc/dc converter (refer to application examples).
The device integrates two current limits, one in the P-channel MOSFET and another one in the N-channel
MOSFET. When the current in the P-channel MOSFET reaches its current limit, the P-channel MOSFET is
turned off and the N-channel MOSFET is turned on. When the current in the N-channel MOSFET is above the
N-MOS current limit threshold, the N-channel MOSFET remains on until the current drops below its current limit.
The current limit in the N-channel MOSFET is important for small duty-cycle operation when the current in the
inductor does not decrease because of the P-channel MOSFET current limit delay, or because of start-up
conditions where the output voltage is low.
Power-Save Mode : Fast PFM
With decreasing load current, the device automatically switches into pulse skipping operation in which the power
stage operates intermittently based on load demand. By running cycles periodically, the switching losses are
minimized, and the device runs with a minimum quiescent current and maintains high efficiency.
In fast PFM mode, the converter only operates when the output voltage trips below a set threshold voltage (VO
nominal). It ramps up the output voltage with several pulses and goes into power-save mode when the inductor
current reaches zero. As a consequence in power-save mode the average output voltage is slightly higher than
its nominal value in PWM mode. The fast PFM mode is optimized for fast response when transitioning between
pulse skipping and PWM operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Power-Save Mode : Light PFM
With decreasing load current, the device can also automatically switch into light PFM pulse skipping operation in
which the power stage operates intermittently based on load demand. The advantage of the light PFM is much
lower IQ (28 µA) and drastically higher efficiency compared with fast PFM in low output loads.
In light PFM mode, the converter only operates when the output voltage trips below a set threshold voltage
(VOnominal). It ramps up the output voltage with one or several pulses and goes back into power-save mode. As
a consequence in power-save mode the average output voltage is slightly higher than its nominal value in PWM
mode.
In order to get a proper transition between light PFM and PWM operation, the output voltage ripple (in light PFM
mode) has been made proportional to the input voltage. It is possible to reduce the output voltage ripple by
setting the LIGHTPFM OPTIMIZE (VSEL0[6] or VSEL1[6]) bit low. However, this is only practical in applications
operating with a 1-µH (typical) inductor, with a load current less than VI / 25 Ω and which do not require the
auto-mode transition function.
When operating with a 2.2-µH (typical) inductor, the LIGHTPFM OPTIMIZE (VSEL0[6] or VSEL1[6]) bit should
always be set to low. In this case, the auto-mode transition is fully functional without any restriction on the load
current.
Mode Selection and Frequency Synchronization
The TPS6235x can be synchronized to an external clock signal by the SYNC pin. Pulling the SYNC pin to a
static state high or low state has no effect on the converter's operation.
Depending on the settings of CONTROL1 register the device can be operated in either the fixed frequency PWM
mode or in the automatic PWM and power-save mode. In this mode, the converter operates in fixed frequency
PWM mode at moderate to heavy loads and in the PFM mode during light loads, which maintains high efficiency
over a wide load current range. For more details, see the CONTROL1 register description.
The fixed frequency PWM mode has the tightest regulation and the best line/load transient performance.
Furthermore, this mode of operation allows simple filtering of the switching frequency for noise-sensitive
applications. In fixed frequency PWM mode, the efficiency is lower compared to the power-save mode during
light loads. It is possible to switch from power-save mode (light or fast PWM) to forced PWM mode during
operation either via the VSEL signal or by re-programming the CONTROL1 register. This allows adjustments to
the converters operation to match the specific system requirements leading to more efficient and flexible power
management.
When the synchronization is enabled (CONTROL2[5]=1), the mode is set to fixed-frequency operation and the
P-channel MOSFET turn on is synchronized to the falling edge of the external clock. This creates the ability for
multiple converters to be connected together in a master-slave configuration for frequency matching of the
converters (see the application section for more details).
When CONTROL1[1:0]=00 and VSEL signal is low, the converter operates according to MODE0 bit and the
synchronization is disabled regardless of EN_SYNC and HW_nSW bits.
Soft Start
The TPS6235x has an internal soft-start circuit that limits the inrush current during start-up. This prevents
possible input voltage drops when a battery or a high-impedance power source is connected to the input of the
converter. The soft start is implemented as a digital circuit increasing the switch current in steps of typically
350 mA, 675 mA, 1000 mA, and the typical switch current limit of 1350 mA. The current limit transitions to the
next step every 256 clocks (≈ 88µs). To be able to switch from 675 mA to 1000 mA current limit step, the output
voltage needs to be higher than 0.5 x VO(NOM) (otherwise the parts keeps operating at 675 mA current limit). This
mechanism is used to limit the output current under short circuit conditions. Therefore, the start-up time depends
on the output capacitor and load current.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Enable
The device starts operation when EN pin is set high and starts up with the soft start. This signal is gated by the
EN_DCDC bit defined in register VSEL0 and VSEL1. On rising edge of the EN pin, all the registers are reset
with their default values. Enabling the converter's operation via the EN_DCDC bit does not affect internal
register settings. This allows the output voltage to be programmed to other values than the default voltage
before starting up the converter. For more details, see the VSEL0/1 register description.
Pulling the EN pin, VSEL0[6] bit or VSEL1[6] bit low forces the device into shutdown, with a shutdown current as
defined in the electrical characteristics table. In this mode, the P and N-channel MOSFETs are turned off, the
internal resistor feedback divider is disconnected, and the entire internal-control circuitry is switched off. When
an output voltage is present during shutdown mode, which is caused by an external voltage source or super
capacitor, the reverse leakage is specified under electrical characteristics. For proper operation, the EN pin must
be terminated and must not be left floating.
In addition, depending on the setting of CONTROL2[6] bit, the device can actively discharge the output capacitor
when it turns off. The integrated discharge resistor has a typical resistance of 15 Ω. The required time to
discharge the output capacitor at VO depends on load current and the output capacitance value.
Voltage and Mode Selection
The TPS6235x features a pin-selectable output voltage. VSEL is primarily used to scale the output voltage
between active (VSEL=HIGH) and sleep mode (VSEL=LOW). For maximum flexibility, it is possible to reprogram
the operating mode of the converter (e.g. fixed frequency PWM, fast PFM or light PFM) associated with VSEL
signal via the I2C interface
VSEL output voltage and mode selection is defined as following:
VSEL = LOW: DC/DC output voltage determined by VSEL0 register value. DC/DC mode of operation is
determined by MODE0 bit in CONTROL1 register
VSEL = HIGH: DC/DC output voltage determined by VSEL1 register value. DC/DC mode of operation is
determined by MODE1 bit in CONTROL1 register.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the device from misoperation at low input voltages. It prevents the
converter from turning on the switch or rectifier MOSFET under undefined conditions.
Short-Circuit Protection
As soon as the output voltage falls below 50% of the nominal output voltage, the converter current limit is
reduced by 50% of the nominal value. Because the short-circuit protection is enabled during start-up, the device
does not deliver more than half of its nominal current limit until the output voltage exceeds 50% of the nominal
output voltage. This needs to be considered when a load acting as a current sink is connected to the output of
the converter.
Thermal Shutdown
As soon as the junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 150°C typical, the device goes into thermal shutdown. In this
mode, the P- and N-channel MOSFETs are turned off. The device continues its operation when the junction
temperature falls below 130°C typical again.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Serial Interface Description
I2C is a 2-wire serial interface developed by Philips Semiconductor (see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1,
January 2000). The bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pull-up structures. When the
bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices connect to the I2C bus
through open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. A master device, usually a microcontroller or a digital signal
processor, controls the bus. The master is responsible for generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The
master also generates specific conditions that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A slave device
receives and/or transmits data on the bus under control of the master device.
The TPS6235x device works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the
I2C-Bus Specification: standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and high-speed mode (up to 3.4 Mbps
in write mode). The interface adds flexibility to the power supply solution, enabling most functions to be
programmed to new values depending on the instantaneous application requirements. Register contents remain
intact as long as supply voltage remains above 2.2 V (typical).
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same, therefore, they are referred to as
F/S-mode in this document. The protocol for high-speed mode is different from the F/S-mode, and it is referred
to as HS-mode. The TPS6235x device supports 7-bit addressing; 10-bit addressing and general call address are
not supported.
The TPS6235x device has a 7-bit address with the 2 LSB bits factory programmable allowing up to four dc/dc
converters to be connected to the same bus. The 5 MSBs are 10010.
F/S-Mode Protocol
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, see Figure 45. All I2C-compatible devices should recognize
a start condition.
The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 7-bit address and the read/write direction bit R/W
on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition requires
the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse, see Figure 46. All devices recognize
the address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the slave device with a
matching address generates an acknowledge, see Figure 47, by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high
period of the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that the communication link
with a slave has been established.
The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 1) or receive data from the
slave (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. An
acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the
receiver. 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as
necessary.
To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low to
high while the SCL line is high, see Figure 45. This releases the bus and stops the communication link with the
addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of a stop
condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and they wait for a start condition followed by a matching
address
Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in this section results in FFh being read out.
H/S-Mode Protocol
When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high by the pull-up devices.
The master generates a start condition followed by a valid serial byte containing HS master code 00001XXX.
This transmission is made in F/S-mode at no more than 400 Kbps. No device is allowed to acknowledge the HS
master code, but all devices must recognize it and switch their internal setting to support 3.4-Mbps operation.

THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
The master then generates a repeated start condition (a repeated start condition has the same timing as the
start condition). After this repeated start condition, the protocol is the same as F/S-mode, except that
transmission speeds up to 3.4 Mbps are allowed. A stop condition ends the HS-mode and switches all the
internal settings of the slave devices to support the F/S-mode. Instead of using a stop condition, repeated start
conditions are used to secure the bus in HS-mode.

TPS6235x I2C Update Sequence
The TPS6235x requires a start condition, a valid I2C address, a register address byte, and a data byte for a
single update. After the receipt of each byte, TPS6235x device acknowledges by pulling the SDA line low during
the high period of a single clock pulse. A valid I2C address selects the TPS6235x. TPS6235x performs an
update on the falling edge of the LSB byte.
When the TPS6235x is in hardware shutdown (EN pin tied to ground) the device can not be updated via the I2C
interface. Conversely, the I2C interface is fully functional during software shutdown (EN_DCDC bit=0).

Voltage Scaling Management
In order to reduce the power consumption of the processor core, the TPS6235x can scale its output voltage.
There are two different strategies: 1) by software or 2) by hardware. It can be selected by the HW_nSW bit
(more information of the control and value bit mentioned below is shown in the Register Description section).
Synchronized Scaling Hardware Strategy (HW_nSW = 1)
The application processor programs via I2C the output voltages associated with the two states of VSEL signal:
floor (VSEL0) and roof (VSEL1) values. The application processor also writes the DEFSLEW value in the
CONTROL2 register to control the output voltage ramp rate.
These two registers can be continuously updated via I2C to provide the appropriate output voltage according to
the VSEL input. The voltage changes with the selected ramp rate immediately after writing to the VSEL0 or
VSEL1 register.
In PFM mode, when the output voltage is programmed to a lower value by toggling VSEL signal from high to
low, PWROK is defined as low, while the output capacitor is discharged by the load until the converter starts
pulsing to maintain the voltage within regulation.
In multiple-step mode, PWROK is defined as low while the output voltage is ramping up or down. Under all other
operating conditions, PWROK is defined to be low when the output voltage is below -1.5% of the target value.

Direct Scaling Software Strategy (HW_nSW = 0)
The digital processor writes the output voltage needed directly to the register VSEL1 via I2C interface. The
application processor also writes the DEFSLEW value in the CONTROL2 register to control the output voltage
ramp rate.
The voltage changes with the selected ramp rate after setting the GO bit in CONTROL2 register. This bit is reset
when the output voltage has reached its target value. In this mode, the output voltage change is independent of
VSEL signal and VSEL0 register is not used.
In PFM mode, when the output voltage is programmed to a lower value, PWROK is defined as low while the
output capacitor is discharged by the load until the converter starts pulsing to maintain the voltage within
regulation.

In multiple-step mode, PWROK is defined as low while the output voltage is ramping up or down. Under all other
operating conditions, PWROK is defined to be low when the output voltage is below -1.5% of the target value.
Voltage Ramp Control
The TPS6235x offers a voltage ramp rate control that can operate in two different modes:
• Multiple-Step Mode
• Single-Step Mode
The mode is selected via DEFSLEW control bits in the CONTROL2 register.
Single-Step Voltage Scaling Mode (default), DEFSLEW[2:0] = [111]
In single-step mode, the TPS6235x ramps the output voltage with maximum slew-rate when transitioning
between the floor and the roof voltages (switch to a higher voltage).
When switching between the roof and the floor voltages (transition to a lower voltage), the ramp rate control is
dependent on the mode selection (see CONTROL1 register) associated with the target register (Forced PWM,
Fast, or Light PFM).
Table 3 shows the ramp rate control when transitioning to a lower voltage with DEFSLEW set to immediate
transition.

For instance, when the output is programmed to transition to a lower voltage with Light or Fast PFM operation
enabled, the TPS6235x ramps down the output voltage without controlling the ramp rate or having intermediate
micro-steps. The required time to ramp down the voltage depends on the capacitance present at the output of
the TPS6235x and on the load current. From an overall system perspective, this is the most efficient way to
perform dynamic voltage scaling.
Multiple-Step Voltage Scaling Mode, DEFSLEW[2:0] = [000] to [110]
In multiple-step mode the TPS6235x controls the output voltage ramp rate regardless of the HW_nSW bit and of
the mode of operation (e.g. Forced PWM, Fast PFM, or Light PFM). The voltage ramp control is done by
adjusting the time between the voltage micro-steps.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Filter Design (Inductor and Output Capacitor)
The TPS6235x step-down converter has an internal loop compensation. Therefore, the external L-C filter must
be selected to work with the internal compensation.
The device has been designed to operate with inductance values between a minimum of 0.7 µH and maximum
of 6.2 µH. The internal compensation is optimized to operate with an output filter of L = 1 µH and CO = 10 µF.
Such an output filter has its corner frequency at:

+ 50.3 kHz
Ǹ
2p ǸL C

O
(1)
Selecting a larger output capacitor value (e.g., 22 µF) is less critical because the corner frequency moves to
lower frequencies with fewer stability problems. The possible output filter combinations are listed in Table 4.
Regardless of the inductance value, operation is recommended with 10-µF output capacitor in applications with
di
high-load transients dt (e.g., ≥ 1600 mA/µs).

The inductor value also has an impact on the pulse skipping operation. The transition into power-save mode
begins when the valley inductor current drops below a level set internally. Lower inductor values result in higher
ripple current which occurs at lower load currents. This results in a dip in efficiency at light load operations.
Inductor Selection
Even though the inductor does not influence the operating frequency, the inductor value has a direct effect on
the ripple current. The selected inductor has to be rated for its dc resistance and saturation current. The inductor
ripple current (∆IL) decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher VI or VO.

where:
fSW = switching frequency (3 MHz typical)
L = inductor value
∆IL = peak-to-peak inductor ripple current
IL(MAX) = maximum inductor current
Normally, it is advisable to operate with a ripple of less than 30% of the average output current. Accepting larger
values of ripple current allows the use of low inductances, but results in higher output voltage ripple, greater
core losses, and lower output current capability.
The total losses of the coil consist of both the losses in the dc resistance (R(DC)) and the following
frequency-dependent components:
• The losses in the core material (magnetic hysteresis loss, especially at high switching frequencies)
• Additional losses in the conductor from the skin effect (current displacement at high frequencies)
• Magnetic field losses of the neighboring windings (proximity effect)
• Radiation losses
The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used with the TPS62350 converters.

Output Capacitor Selection
The advanced fast-response voltage mode control scheme of the TPS6235x allows the use of tiny ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest output voltage ripple and are
recommended. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric. Y5V and Z5U dielectric
capacitors, aside from their wide variation in capacitance overtemperature, become resistive at high frequencies.
At nominal load current, the device operates in PWM mode and the overall output voltage ripple is the sum of
the voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and
discharging the output capacitor:

At light loads, the device operates in power-save mode and the output voltage ripple is independent of the
output capacitor value. The output voltage ripple is set by the internal comparator thresholds and propagation
delays. The typical output voltage ripple is 2% of the nominal output voltage VO.
Input Capacitor Selection
Because of the nature of the buck converter having a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is
required to prevent large voltage transients that can cause misbehavior of the device or interferences with other
circuits in the system. For most applications, a 10-µF capacitor is sufficient.
Take care when using only ceramic input capacitors. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the
power is being supplied through long wires, such as from a wall adapter, a load step at the output can induce
ringing at the VIN pin. This ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability or could even
damage the part.
Checking Loop Stability
The first step of circuit and stability evaluation is to look from a steady-state perspective at the following signals:
• Switching node, SW
• Inductor current, IL
• Output ripple voltage, VO(AC)
These are the basic signals that need to be measured when evaluating a switching converter. When the
switching waveform shows large duty cycle jitter or the output voltage or inductor current shows oscillations, the
regulation loop may be unstable. This is often a result of board layout and/or L-C combination.
As a next step in the evaluation of the regulation loop, the load transient response is tested. The output
capacitor must supply all of the load current during the time between the application of the load transient and the
turn on of the P-channel MOSFET. VO immediately shifts by an amount equal to ∆I(LOAD) × ESR, where ESR is
the effective series resistance of CO. ∆I(LOAD) begins to charge or discharge CO generating a feedback error
signal used by the regulator to return VO to its steady-state value.
During this recovery time, VO is monitored for settling time, overshoot, or ringing that helps judge the converter
stability. Without any ringing, the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin.
Because the damping factor of the circuitry is directly related to several resistive parameters (e.g., MOSFET
rDS(on)) that are temperature dependant, the loop stability analysis must be performed over the input voltage
range, load current range, and temperature range.

Layout Considerations
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. High-speed operation of the
TPS6235x device demands careful attention to PCB layout. Care must be taken in board layout to get the
specified performance. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show poor line and/or load
regulation, stability issues as well as EMI problems. It is critical to provide a low inductance, impedance ground
path. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current paths as indicated in bold on Figure 53.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC pins as well as the inductor and output
capacitor. Use a common ground node for power ground and a different one for control ground (AGND) to
minimize the effects of ground noise. Connect these ground nodes together (star point) underneath the IC and
make sure that small signal components returning to the AGND pin do not share the high current path of C1 and
C2.
The output voltage sense line (FB) should be connected right to the output capacitor and routed away from
noisy components and traces (e.g., SW line). Its trace should be minimized and shielded by a guard-ring
connected to the reference ground.

Thermal Information
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependant issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks, and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components, affect the
power-dissipation limits of a given component.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below:
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB
• Introducing airflow in the system
The maximum recommended junction temperature (TJ) of the TPS6235x device is 125°C. The thermal
resistance of the 12-pin CSP package (YZG) is RθJA = 110°C/W. Specified regulator operation is assured to a
maximum ambient temperature TA of 85°C. Therefore, the maximum power dissipation is about 360 mW. More
power can be dissipated if the maximum ambient temperature of the application is lower or if the PowerPAD™
package (DRC) is used.
