The circuit operates with inputs up to 52 V, with a power-saving feature that turns off driver current once the external FET has been fully turned on. This feature extends the flexibility of the device, allowing it to operate with an input voltage up to 52 V, without dissipating excessive power. The circuit operates with voltage-mode feedback and has feed-forward input-voltage compensation that responds instantly to input-voltage change. The integral 700-mV reference is trimmed to 2%, providing the means to accurately control low voltages. The TPS40200 is available in an 8-pin SOIC, and supports many of the features of more complex controllers. Clock frequency, soft start, and overcurrent limit each are easily programmed by a single, external component. The part has undervoltage lockout, and can be easily synchronized to other controllers or a system clock to satisfy sequencing and/or noise-reduction requirements.

Submit Documentation Feedback 75 100 125 TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 GENERAL INFORMATION Overview The TPS40200 is a nonsynchronous controller with a built-in 200-mA driver, designed to drive high-speed P-channel FETS up to 500 kHz. Its small size combined with complete functionality makes the part both versatile and easy to use. The controller uses a low-value current-sensing resistor in series with the input voltage and the power FET source connection to detect switching current. When the voltage drop across this resistor exceeds 100 mV, the part enters a hiccup fault mode at approximately 2% of the operating frequency. The part uses voltage feedback to an error amplifier that is biased by a precision 700-mV reference. Feed-forward compensation from the input keeps the pulse-width modulator (PWM) gain constant over the full input voltage range, eliminating the need to change frequency compensation for different input voltages. The part also incorporates a soft-start feature where the output follows a slowly rising soft-start voltage, preventing output-voltage overshoot. Programming the Operating Frequency The operating frequency of the controller is determined by an external resistor, RRC, that is connected from the RC pin to VDD and a capacitor attached from the RC pin to ground. This connection, and the two oscillator comparators inside the IC, are shown in Figure 23. The oscillator frequency can be calculated from the following equation: 1 f SW = R RC ´ C RC ´ 0.105 (1) Where: fSW = Clock frequency RRC = Timing resistor value (in Ω) CRC = Timing capacitor value (in F) RRC must be kept large enough that the current through it does not exceed 750 µA when the internal switch (shown in Figure 23) is discharging the timing capacitor. This condition may be expressed by: VIN £ 750 mA R RC (2) Synchronizing the Oscillator Figure 23 shows the functional diagram of the TPS40200 oscillator. When synchronizing the oscillator to an external clock, RC must be pulled below 150 mV for 20 ns or more. The external clock frequency must be higher than the free-running frequency of the converter as well. When synchronizing the controller, if RC is held low for an excessive amount of time, erratic operation may occur. The maximum amount of time that RC should be held low is 50% of a nominal output pulse, or 10% of the period of the synchronization frequency. Under circumstances where the input voltage is high and the duty cycle is less than 50%, a Schottky diode connected from RC to an external clock may be used to synchronize the oscillator. The cathode of the diode is connected to RC. The trip point of the oscillator is set by an internal voltage divider to be 1/10 of the input voltage. The clock signal must have an amplitude higher than this trip point. When the clock goes low, it allows the reset current to restart the RC ramp, synchronizing the oscillator to the external clock. This provides a simple, single-component method for clock synchronization.

Use a low-inductance resistor to avoid problems with ringing signals and nuisance tripping. When the FET is on and the controller senses 100 mV or more drop from the VDD pin to the ISNS pin, an overcurrent condition is declared. When this happens, the FET is turned off and, as shown in Figure 28, the soft-start capacitor is discharged. When the soft-start capacitor reaches a level below 150 mV, the converter clears the overcurrent condition flag and attempts to restart. If the condition that caused the overcurrent event to occur is still present on the output of the converter (see Figure 27), another overcurrent condition is declared and the process repeats indefinitely. Figure 27 shows the soft-start capacitor voltage during an extended output fault condition. The overall duty cycle of current conduction during a persistent fault is approximately 2%. Figure 25.

Current-Limit Reset If necessary, a small R-C filter can be added to the current-sensing network to reduce nuisance tripping due to noise pickup. This filter also can be used to trim the overcurrent trip point to a higher level with the addition of a single resistor. See Figure 27. The nominal overcurrent trip point using the circuit of Figure 27 is described as: V R + R F2 IOC = ILIM ´ F1 R ILIM R F2 (3) Where: IOC = Overcurrent trip point, peak current in the inductor VILIM = Overcurrent threshold voltage for the TPS40200, typically 100 mV RILIM = Value of the current sense resistor (in Ω) RF1 and RF2 = Values of the scaling resistors (in Ω) The value of the capacitor is determined by the nominal pulse width of the converter and the values of the scaling resistors RF1 and RF2. It is best not to have the time constant of the filter longer than the nominal pulse width of the converter, otherwise a substantial increase in the overcurrent trip point occurs. Using this constraint, the capacitor value may be bounded by: . VO R ´ R f2 Cf £ ÷ f1 VIN ´ f SW R f1 + R f2 (4) Where: Cf = Value of the current-limit filter capacitor (in F) VO = Output voltage of the converter VIN = Input voltage to the converter fSW = Converter switching frequency Rf1 and Rf2 = Values of the scaling resistors (in Ω) 12 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) VIN RILIM RF1 TPS40200 VDD 8 CF RF2 ISNS 7 GDRV 6 NOTE: The current-limit resistor and its associated circuitry can be eliminated and pins 7 and 8 shorted.

Current-Limit Adjustment Submit Documentation Feedback 13 TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) MOSFET Gate Drive The output driver sinking current is approximately 200 mA and is designed to drive P-channel power FETs. When the driver pulls the gate charge of the FET, it is controlling to –8 V, the drive current folds back to a low level so that high power dissipation only occurs during the turnon period of the FET. This feature is particularly valuable when turning on a FET at high input voltages, where leaving the gate drive current on would otherwise cause unacceptable power dissipation. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection UVLO protection ensures proper startup of the device only when the input voltage has exceeded minimum operating voltage. Undervoltage protection incorporates hysteresis, which eliminates hiccup starting in cases where input supply impedance is high. VDD 8 TPS40200 545k + RUN 200K + 1.3V 36K GND 5 Figure 28. Undervoltage Lockout Undervoltage protection ensures proper startup of the device only when the input voltage has exceeded minimum operating voltage. The UVLO level is measured at the VDD pin with respect to GND. Startup voltage is typically 4.3 V, with approximately 200 mV of hysteresis. The part shuts off at a nominal 4.1 V. As shown in Figure 28, when the input VDD voltage rises to 4.3 V , the 1.3-V comparator’s threshold voltage is exceeded and a RUN signal occurs. Feedback from the output closes the switch and shunts the 200-kΩ resistor so that an approximate 200-mV lower voltage, or 4.1 V, is required before the part shuts down. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) Programming the Soft-Start Time An external capacitor, CSS, connected from the soft-start (SS) pin to ground controls the TPS40200 soft-start interval. An internal charging resistor connected to VDD produces a rising reference voltage, which is connected though a 700-mV offset to the reference input of the TPS40200 error amplifier. When the soft-start capacitor voltage (VCSS) is below 150 mV, there is no switching activity. When VCSS rises above the 700-mV offset, the error amplifier starts to follow VSST – 700 mV, and uses this rising voltage as a reference. When VCSS reaches 1.4 V, the internal reference takes over, and further increases have no effect. An advantage of initiating a slow start in this fashion is that the controller cannot overshoot because its output follows a scaled version of the controller's reference voltage. A conceptual drawing of the circuit that produces these results is shown in Figure 29. A consequence of the 700-mV offset is that the controller does not start switching until the VCSS has charged up to 700 mV. The output remains at 0 V during the resulting delay. When VCCS exceeds the 700-mV offset, the TPS40200 output follows the soft-start time constant. Once above 1.4 V, the 700-mV internal reference takes over, and normal operation begins.

Soft-Start Circuit The slow-start time should be more (slower) than the time constant of the output LC filter. This time constraint may be expressed as: t S ³ 2p ´ L O ´ C O (5) The calculation of the soft-start interval is simply the time it takes the RC network to exponentially charge from 0 V to 1.4 V. An internal 105-kΩ charging resistor is connected from the SS pin to VSST. For applications where the voltage is above 8 V, an internal regulator clamps the maximum charging voltage to 8 V. The result of this is a formula for the start-up time, as given by: æ VSST ö ÷ t SS = R c ´ CSS ´ ln çç ÷ è VSST - 1.4 ø (6) Where: tSS = Required soft-start time (in seconds) CSS = Soft-start capacitor value (in F) Rc = Internal soft-start charging resistor (105 kΩ nominal) VSST = Input voltage up to a maximum of 8 V Submit Documentation Feedback 15 TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 GENERAL INFORMATION (continued) Voltage Setting and Modulator Gain Since the input current to the error amplifier is negligible, the feedback impedance can be selected over a wide range.

System Gain Elements The error amplifier has a DC open-loop gain of at least 60 dB, with a minimum of a 1.5-MHz gain bandwidth product, which gives the user flexibility with respect to the type of feedback compensation used for this particular application. The gain selected by the user at the crossover frequency is set to provide an overall unity gain for the system. The crossover frequency should be selected so that the error amplifier open-loop gain is high with respect to the required closed-loop gain. This ensures that the amplifier response is determined by the passive feedback elements. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS Application 1: Buck Regulator, 8-V to 12-V Input, 3.3 V or 5 V at 2.5-A Output Overview The buck regulator design shown in Figure 31 illustrates the use of the TPS40200.

Line and load regulation values are referenced to the nominal design output voltage. FET Selection Criteria • • • The maximum input voltage for this application is 16 V. Switching the inductor causes overshoot voltages that can equal the input voltage. Since the RDSON of the FET rises with breakdown voltage, select a FET with as low a breakdown voltage as possible. In this case, a 30-V FET was selected. The selection of a power FET’s size requires knowing both the switching losses and dc losses in the application. AC losses are all frequency dependent and directly related to device capacitances and device size. Conversely, dc losses are inversely related to device size. The result is an optimum where the two types of losses are equal. Since device size is proportional to RDSON, a starting point is to select a device with an RDSON that results in a small loss of power relative to package thermal capability and overall efficiency objectives. In this application, the efficiency target is 90% and the output power 8.25 W. This gives a total power-loss budget of 0.916 W. Total FET losses must be small, relative to this number. The dc conduction loss in the FET is given by: 2 PDC = Ir ms ´ R DSON (8) The rms current is given by: 1 2 é æ DIpp ö÷ù 2 2 ú Irms = êD ´ ç IOUT + ê ç 12 ÷ú è ø ë û 18 (9) Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 Where: DIpp = DV ´ D ´ tS Ll DV = VIN - VOUT - (DCR + R DSON ) ´ IOUT RDSON = FET on-state resistance DCR = Inductor dc resistance D = Duty cycle tS = Reciprocal of the switching frequency Using the values in this example, the dc power loss is 129 mW. The remaining FET losses are: • PSW – Power dissipated while switching the FET on and off • Pgate – Power dissipated driving the FET gate capacitance • PCOSS – Power switching the FET output capacitance The total power dissipated by the FET is the sum of these contributions: PFET = PSW + Pgate + PCOSS + PRDSON The P-channel FET used in this application is an FDC654P, with the following characteristics: trise = 13 × 10–9 COSS = 83 × 10–12 tfall = 6 × 10–9 Qg = 9 nC RDSON = 0.1 Ω Vgate = 1.9 V Qgd = 1.2 × 10 Qgs = 1.0 × 10–9 –9 Using these device characteristics and the following formulas produces: ö f æ f PSW = S ´ çç VIN ´ Ipk ´ t CHON ÷÷ + S VIN ´ Ipk ´ t CHOFF = 10 mW 2 è ø 2 ( ) (10) Where: t CHON = Q GD ´ R G VIN - VTH and t CHOFF = Q GD ´ R G VIN are the switching times for the power FET.

At added expense, a slightly larger FET would be better because the dc loss would drop and the ac losses would increase, with both moving toward the optimum point of equal losses.

To allow for switching transients that can approach the switching voltage, a 30-V rectifier was selected. • Diode size The importance of power losses from the Schottky rectifier (D2) is determined by the duty cycle. For a low duty-cycle application, the rectifier is conducting most of the time, and the current that flows through it times its forward drop can be the largest component of loss in the entire controller. In this application, the duty cycle ranges from 20% to 40%, which in the worst case means that the diode is conducting 80% of the time. Where efficiency is of major importance, choose a diode with as low a forward drop as possible. In more cost-sensitive applications, size may be reduced to the point of the thermal limitations of the diode package. The device in this application is large, relative to the current required by the application. In a more cost-sensitive application, a smaller diode in a less-expensive package provides a less-efficient, but appropriate, solution. The device used has the following characteristics: • Vf = 0.3 V at 3 A • Ct = 300 pF (Ct = the effective reverse-voltage capacitance of the synchronous rectifier, D2) The two components of the losses from the diode D2 are: I æ ö PCOND = Vf ´ çç IOUT + RIPPLE ÷÷ ´ (1 - D) = 653 mW 4 è ø (11) Where: D = Duty cycle IRIPPLE = Ripple current IOUT = Output current VF = Forward voltage PCOND = Conduction power loss The switching capacitance of this diode adds an AC loss, given by: P SW + 1 [C (V IN ) V f)2 f] + 6.8 mW 2 (12) This additional loss raises the total loss to: 660 mW. At an output voltage of 3.3 V, the application runs at a nominal duty cycle of 27%, and the diode is conducting 72.5% of the time. As the output voltage is moved up to 5 V, the on time increases to 46%, and the diode is conducting only 54% of the time during each clock cycle. This change in duty cycle proportionately reduces the conduction power losses in the diode. This reduction may be expressed as: æ 0.54 ö 660 ç ÷ = 491 mW è0.725ø (13) for a savings in power of 660 – 491 = 169 mW. To illustrate the relevance of this power savings, the full-load module efficiency was measured for this application at 3.3 V and 5 V. The 5-V output efficiency is 92% versus 89% for the 3.3-V design. This difference in efficiency represents a 456-mW reduction in losses between the two conditions. This 169-mW power-loss reduction in the rectifier represents 37% of the difference. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 Inductor Selection Criteria The TPS40200 P-channel FET driver facilitates switching the power FET at a high frequency. This, in turn, enables the use of smaller, less-expensive inductors as shown in this 300-kHz application. Ferrite, with its good high-frequency properties, is the material of choice. Several manufacturers provide catalogs with inductor saturation currents, inductance values, and LSRs (internal resistance) for their various-sized ferrites. In this application, the part must deliver a maximum current of 2.5 A. This requires that the output inductor saturation current be above 2.5 A plus one-half the ripple current caused during inductor switching. The value of the inductor determines this ripple current. A low value of inductance has a higher ripple current that contributes to ripple voltage across the resistance of the output capacitors. The advantages of a low inductance are a higher transient response, lower DCR, higher saturation current, and a smaller, less-expensive part. Too low an inductor, however, leads to higher peak currents that ultimately are bounded by the overcurrent limit set to protect the output FET or by output ripple voltage. Fortunately, with low-ESR ceramic capacitors on the output, the resulting ripple voltage for relatively high ripple currents can be small. For example, a single 1-µF 1206-sized 6.3-V ceramic capacitor has an internal resistance of 2 Ω at 1 MHz. For this 2.5-A application, a 10% ripple current of 0.25 A produces a 50-mV ripple voltage. This ripple voltage may be further reduced by additional parallel capacitors. The other bound on inductance is the minimum current at which the controller enters discontinuous conduction. At this point, inductor current is zero. The minimum output current for this application is specified at 0.125 A. This average current is one-half the peak current that must develop during a minimum on time. The conditions for minimum on time are high line and low load, using: V - VOUT LMAX = IN ´ t ON = 32 mH IPEAK (14) Where: VIN = 16 V VOUT = 3.3 V IPEAK =0.25 A tON = 0.686 µs BLK tON 3. 3 V 1 ´ is given by 300 kHz 16 V The inductor used in the circuit is the closest standard value of 33 µH. This is the maximum inductance that can be used in the converter to deliver the minimum current, while maintaining continuous conduction. Submit Documentation Feedback 21 TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 Output Capacitance In order to satisfy the output voltage overshoot and undershoot specifications, there must be enough output capacitance to keep the output voltage within the specified voltage limits during load current steps. In a situation where a full load of 2.5 A within the specified voltage limits is suddenly removed, the output capacitor must absorb energy stored in the output inductor. This condition may be described by realizing that the energy stored in the inductor must be suddenly absorbed by the output capacitance. This energy relationship is written as: 1 L I 2 v 1 [C (V 2 * V 2)] O O O OS O 2 2 (15) Where: VOS = Allowed overshoot voltage above the output voltage LO = Inductance IO = Output current CO = Output capacitance VO = Output voltage In this application, the worst-case load step is 2.25 A and the allowed overshoot is 100 mV. With a 33-µH output inductor, this implies an output capacitance of 249 µF for a 3.3-V output and 165 µF for a 5-V output. When the load increases from minimum to full load, the output capacitor must deliver current to the load. The worst case is for a minimum on time that occurs at 16 V in and 3.3 V out and minimum load. This corresponds to an off time of (1 – 0.2) times the period 3.3 µs, and is the worst-case time before the inductor can start supplying current. This situation may be represented by: t DVO < DIO ´ OFFMAX CO (16) Where: ∆ VO = Undershoot specification of 60 mV ∆IO = Load current step tOFFMAX = Maximum off time This condition produces a requirement of 100 µf for the output capacitance. The larger of these two requirements becomes the minimum value of output capacitance. The ripple current develops a voltage across the ESR of the output capacitance, so another requirement on this component is that its ESR be small relative to the ripple voltage specification. 22 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 Switching Frequency The TPS40200 has a built-in, 8-V, 200-mA, P-channel FET driver output that facilitates using P-channel switching FETs. A clock frequency of 300 kHz was chosen as a switching frequency which represents a compromise between a high frequency that allows the use of smaller capacitors and inductors, but one that is not so high as to cause excessive transistor switching losses. As previously discussed, an optimum frequency can be selected by picking a value where the dc and switching losses are equal. The frequency is set by using the design formula given in the FET Selection Criteria section. 1 RRC ´ CRC = 0.105 ´ fSW (17) Where: RRC = Timing resistor value (in ohms), or RRC = 68.1 Ω CRC = Timing capacitor value (in F), or C5 = 470 pF fSW = Desired switching frequency (in Hz) which, in this case, calculates to 297 kHz At a worst case of 16 V, the timing resistor draws about 250 µA, which is well below the 750 µA maximum that the circuit can pull down. Programming the Overcurrent Threshold Level The current limit in the TSP40200 is triggered by a comparator with a 100-mV offset, whose inputs are connected across a current-sense resistor between VCC and the source of the high-side switching FET. When current in this resistor develops more than 100 mV, the comparator trips and terminates the output gate drive. In this application, the current-limit resistor is set by the peak output-stage current, which consists of the maximum load current plus one-half the ripple current (in this case, 2.5 + 0.125 = 2.625 A). To accommodate tolerances, a 25% margin is added, giving a 3.25-A peak current. Using the equation below then yields a value for RILIM of 0.30 Ω. Current sensing in a switching environment requires attention to both circuit-board traces and noise pickup. In Figure 34, a small RC filter has been added to the circuit to prevent switching noise from tripping the current-sense comparator. The requirements of this filter are board dependent, but with the layout used in this application, no spurious overcurrent was observed.

At this point, the output rises following the exponential rise of the soft-start capacitor voltage until the soft-start capacitor reaches 1.4 V and the internal 700-mV reference takes over. This total time is approximately 1 ms, which agrees with the calculated value of 0.95 ms where the soft-start capacitance is 0.047 µF. A. Channel 1 is the output voltage rising to 3.3 V. B.

The gain of the error amplifier (KEA) is the first of three elements. Its output develops a control voltage, which is the input to the PWM. The TPS40200 has a unique modulator that scales the peak-to-peak amplitude of the PWM ramp to be 0.1 times the value of the input voltage. Since modulator gain is given by VIN divided by VRAMP, the modulator gain is 10 and is constant at 10 (20 dB) over the entire specified input voltage range. The last two elements that affect system gain are the transfer characteristic of the output LC filter and the feedback network from the output to the input to the error amplifier. These four elements may be expressed by the following expression that represents the system transfer function (see Figure 36).

Control Loop Submit Documentation Feedback 25 TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 Figure 37 shows the feedback network used in this application. This is a type-2 compensation network, which gives a combination of good transient response and phase boost for good stability. This type of compensation has a pole at the origin, causing a –20-dB/decade (–1) slope, followed by a zero that causes a region of flat gain, followed by a final pole that returns the gain slope to –1. The Bode plot in Figure 38 shows the effect of these poles and zeros. The procedure for setting up the compensation network is as follows: 1. Determine the break frequency of the output capacitor. 2. Select a zero frequency well below this break frequency. 3. From the gain bandwidth of the error amplifier, select a crossover frequency where the amplifier gain is large, relative to expected closed-loop gain. 4. Select a second zero well above the crossover frequency, which returns the gain slope to a –1 slope. 5. Calculate the required gain for the amplifier at crossover Be prepared to iterate this procedure to optimize the pole and zero locations as needed. C7 C8 R8 R10 + R6 VREF Figure 37. Error Amplifier Feedback Elements The frequency response of this converter is largely determined by two poles that arise from the LC output filter and a higher-frequency zero caused by the ESR of the output capacitance. The poles from the output filter cause a 40-dB/decade rolloff with a phase shift approaching 180°, followed by the output capacitor zero that reduced the rolloff to –20 dB and gives a phase boost back toward 90°. In other nomenclature, this is a –2 slope followed by a –1 slope. The two zeros in the compensation network act to cancel the double pole from the output filter The compensation network’s two poles produce a region where the error amplifier is flat and can be set to a gain, such that the overall gain of the system is 0 dB. This region is set so that it brackets the system crossover frequency. Gain - dB P1 Error Amplifier Type-2 Compensation Slope = -1 z1 p2 A V2 A V1 f1 f2 Figure 38. Error Amplifier Bode Plot 26 Submit Documentation Feedback Frequency TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 In order to properly compensate this system, it is necessary to know the frequencies of its poles and zeros. Step 1 The break frequency of the output capacitor is given by: Fesr = 1 2pR esr C (20) Where: L = 33 µH C = 221 µF Because of the ESR of the output capacitor, this output filter has a single-pole response above the 1.8-kHz break frequency of the output capacitor and its ESR. This simplifies compensation since the system becomes essentially a single-pole system. Step 2 The first zero is place well below the 1.8-kHz break frequency of the output capacitor and its ESR. Phase boost from this zero is shown in Figure 39. 1 fZ1 = 2pR 8C8 (21) Where: R8 = 100 kΩ C8 = 1500 pF FZ1 = 354 Hz Step 3 From a minimum gain bandwidth product of 1.5 MHz, and knowing it has a 20-dB/decade rolloff, the gain of the error amplifier is 33 dB at 35 kHz. This approximate frequency is chosen for a crossover frequency to keep the amplifier gain contribution to the overall system gain small. Step 4 The second zero is placed well above the 35-kHz crossover frequency. 1 fP3 = ´ (C7 + C8 ) 2p ´ C 7 ´ C 8 ´ R 8 (22) Where: R8 = 300 kΩ C7 = 10 pF C8 = 1500 pF fP3 = 53 kHz Submit Documentation Feedback 27 TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 Step 5 Calculate the three other gain elements of the system to determine the gain required by the error amplifier at 35-kHz to make the overall gain 0 dB: TV (S ) = K FB ´ K EA (S) ´ K PWM ´ X LC (S) (23) Where: KFB = Output voltage setting divider KEA = Error amplifier feedback KPWM = Modulator gain XLC = Filter transfer function The output filter transfer characteristic is given by the following: Z OUT (S) X LC (S) = Z OUT (S) + Z (S) + R SW ´ D + R SR ´ (1 - D) (24) Where: ZOUT = Parallel combination of output capacitor(s) and the load ZOUT and Zl should include parasitic R and L. Evaluating the response at 35-kHz gives the following: • The full current output load at 3.3 V is 1.32 Ω, and is in parallel with the 0.4-Ω ESR of the output capacitor. • Including the 400 mΩ of ESR, the capacitive impedance is 14 mΩ, and ZOUT = 414 mΩ. • The impedance of the inductor is Zl = 1.659 Ω. • XLC(S) = 0.033, or –29.6 dB The feedback network has a gain to the error amplifier given by: R K fb = 10 R6 (25) Where: R6 = 26.7 kΩ Using the values in this application, Kfb = 11.4 dB. The modulator has a gain of 10 that is flat to well beyond 35 kHz, so KPWM = 20 dB. The amplifier gain, including the feedback gain, Kfb, can be approximated by this expression: VO - Av OL (S) = Z (S ) R10 VIN 1+ I + ´ (1 + Av OL ) R6 Z f (S ) (26) Where: ZI = R10 Zf = Parallel combination of C7 in parallel with the sum of R8 and the impedance of C8 The gain required to achieve 0-dB system gain is simply the sum of the other three gains: –(–29.6 + 11.4 + 20) = 1.8 dB. With an open-loop gain of 33 dB, the closed-loop gain of the amplifier is 0.8, or –1.66 dB, which gives a 0.13-dB gain at 35 kHz. Figure 39 shows the result of the compensation. The crossover frequency is 35 kHz, and the phase margin is 45°.

The feedback point for this circuit is a sense resistor in series with this string. The low 0.7-V reference minimizes power wasted in this resistor, and maintains the LED current at a value given by 0.7/RSENSE. As the input voltage is varied, the duty cycle changes to maintain the LED current at a constant value so that the light intensity does not change with large input voltage variations. + + Figure 46.

PC Board Layout Recommendations 34 COUT Submit Documentation Feedback TPS40200-EP www.ti.com SGLS371 – JANUARY 2007 DESIGN REFERENCES (continued) Layout Hints • AC current loops must be kept as short as possible. For the maximum effectiveness from C1, place it near the VDD pin of the controller and design the input ac loop consisting of C1-RSENSE-Q1-D1 to be as short as possible. Excessive high-frequency noise on VDD during switching degrades overall regulation as the load increases. • Output loop A (D1-L1-C2) also should be kept as small as possible. Otherwise, the application’s output noise performance is degraded. • It is recommended that traces carrying large ac currents NOT be connected through a ground plane. Instead, use PCB traces on the top layer to conduct the ac current and use the ground plane as a noise shield. Split the ground plane as necessary to keep noise away from the TPS40200 and noise-sensitive areas, such as feedback resistors, R6 and R10. • Keep the SW node as physically small as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance and to minimize radiated emissions • For good output voltage regulation, Kelvin connections should be brought from the load to R6 and R10. • The trace from the R6-R10 junction to the TPS40200 should be short and kept away from any noise source, such as the SW node. • The gate drive trace should be as close to the power FET gate as possible.
