DESCRIPTION
As a member of the SWIFT family of dc/dc regulators, the
TPS54672 active bus termination synchronous PWM
converter integrates all required active components.
Included on the substrate with the listed features are a true,
high performance, voltage error amplifier that enables
maximum performance and flexibility in choosing the
output filter L and C components; an under-voltagelockout circuit to prevent start-up until the input voltage
reaches 3 V; a slow-start control to limit in-rush currents;
and a status output to indicate valid operating conditions.
The TPS54672 is available in a thermally enhanced 28-pin
TSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD package, which eliminates
bulky heatsinks. TI provides evaluation modules and the
SWIFT designer software tool to aid in quickly achieving
high-performance power supply designs to meet
aggressive equipment development cycles.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
FEEDBACK CIRCUIT
Figure 9 shows the schematic diagram for a typical DDR
memory or GTL bus termination application using the
TPS54672. The TPS54672 (U1) can provide greater than
6 A of output current. For proper operation, the exposed
thermal PowerPAD underneath the integrated circuit
package needs to be soldered to the printed-circuit board.
R1, R2, R3, C1, C2 and C3 form the loop compensation
network for the circuit. For this design, a Type 3 topology
is used. The compensation network, along with the output
filter inductor and capacitor delivers a crossover frequency
of 135 kHz with 50° of phase margin.
COMPONENT SELECTION
OPERATING FREQUENCY
The values for the components used in this design
example were selected for best load transient and tracking
response. Additional design information is available at
www.ti.com.
In the application circuit, RT is grounded through a 71.5-kΩ
resistor to select the maximum frequency of 700 kHz. To
set a different frequency, place a 68-kΩ to 180-kΩ resistor
between RT (pin 28) and analog ground or leave RT
floating to select the default 350 kHz. The resistance can
be calculated using the following equation:
INPUT VOLTAGE
The input voltage range is 3 to 5.5 VDC. The input filter
(C4) is a 10-µF ceramic capacitor (Taiyo Yuden). C8, also
a 10-µF ceramic capacitor (Taiyo Yuden) that provides
high frequency decoupling of the TPS54672 from the input
supply, must be located as close as possible to the device.
Ripple current is carried in both C8 and C4, and the return
path to PGND should avoid the current circulating in the
output capacitors C7 and C10.

OUTPUT FILTER
The output filter is composed of a 0.56-µH Coilcraft
inductor (D01813P−561HC) and two 150-µF Cornell
Dublier capacitors (ESRD151M06R). The inductor is a low
dc resistance type. The capacitors used are 4 V POSCAP
types with a maximum ESR of 0.040 Ω.
PCB LAYOUT
Figure 10 shows a generalized PCB layout guide for the
TPS54672. The VIN pins should be connected together on
the printed circuit board (PCB) and bypassed with a low
ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Minimize the loop area
formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pins,
and the TPS54672 ground pins. The minimum
recommended bypass capacitance is 10 µF ceramic with
a X5R or X7R dielectric and the optimum placement is
closest to the VIN pins and the PGND pins.
The TPS54672 has two internal grounds (analog and
power). Inside the TPS54672 the analog ground ties to all
of the noise sensitive signals, while the power ground ties
to the noisier power signals. Noise injected between the
two grounds can degrade the performance of the
TPS54672, particularly at higher output currents. Ground
noise on an analog ground plane can also cause problems
with some of the control and bias signals. For these
reasons, separate analog and power ground traces are
recommended. There should be an area of ground on the
top layer under the IC, with an exposed area for connection
to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground area to
any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the
ground side of the input and output filter capacitors as well.
The AGND and PGND pins should be tied to the PCB
ground by connecting them to the ground area under the
device as shown. The only components that should tie
directly to the power ground plane are the input capacitors,
the output capacitors, the input voltage decoupling
capacitor, and the PGND pins of the TPS54672. Use a
separate wide trace for the analog ground signal path. This
analog ground should be used for the voltage set point
divider, timing resistor RT, and bias capacitor grounds.
Connect this trace directly to AGND (pin 1).
The PH pins should be tied together and routed to the
output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching
node, the inductor should be located very close to the PH
pins and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to
prevent excessive capacitive coupling.
Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and
the BOOT pin as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to
the IC and minimize the conductor trace lengths.
Connect the output filter capacitor(s) as shown between
the VOUT trace and PGND. It is important to keep the loop
formed by the PH pins, Lout, Cout, and PGND as small as
practical.
Place the compensation components from the VOUT trace
to the VSENSE, and COMP pins. Do not place these
components too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of
the IC package and the device pin out, the components
must be routed somewhat close, however maintaining as
much separation as possible while still keeping the layout
compact.
Connect the bias capacitor from the VBIAS pin to analog
ground using the isolated analog ground trace. If an RT
resistor is used, connect it to this trace as well.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THERMAL
PERFORMANCE
For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground
plane must provide adequate heat dissipating area. A 3
inch by 3 inch plane of 1 ounce copper is recommended,
though not mandatory, depending on ambient temperature
and airflow. Most applications have larger areas of internal
ground plane available, and the PowerPAD should be
connected to the largest area available. Additional areas
on the top or bottom layers also help dissipate heat, and
8 PL Ø 0.0130
4 PL
Ø 0.0180
any area available should be used when 6 A or greater
operation is desired. Connection from the exposed area of
the PowerPAD to the analog ground plane layer should be
made using 0.013 inch diameter vias to avoid solder
wicking through the vias. Eight vias should be in the
PowerPAD area with four additional vias located under the
device package. The size of the vias under the package,
but not in the exposed thermal pad area, can be increased
to 0.018. Additional vias beyond the twelve recommended
that enhance thermal performance should be included in
areas not under the device package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
The TPS54672 incorporates an under voltage lockout
circuit to keep the device disabled when the input voltage
(VIN) is insufficient. During power up, internal circuits are

held inactive until VIN exceeds the nominal UVLO
threshold voltage of 2.95 V. Once the UVLO start threshold
is reached, device start-up begins. The device operates
until VIN falls below the nominal UVLO stop threshold of

2.8 V. Note that hysteresis in the UVLO comparator and a
2.5-µs rising and falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the
likelihood of shutting the device down due to noise on VIN.
Enable (ENA)
The enable pin, ENA, provides a digital control to enable
or disable (shutdown) the TPS54672. An input voltage of
1.4 V or greater ensures that the TPS54672 is enabled. An
input of 0.82 V or less ensures that device operation is
disabled. These are not standard logic thresholds, even
though they are compatible with TTL outputs.
When ENA is low, the oscillator, slow-start, PWM control
and MOSFET drivers are disabled and held in an initial
state ready for device start-up. On an ENA transition from
low to high, device start-up begins with the output starting
from 0 V.
Slow-Start
The slow-start circuit provides start-up slope control of the
output voltage to limit in-rush currents. The nominal
internal slow-start rate is 0.25 V/ms with the maximum rate
being 0.35 V/ms. When the voltage on REFIN rises faster
than the internal slope or is present when device operation
is enabled, the output rises at the internal rate. If the
reference voltage on REFIN rises more slowly, then the
output rises at about the same rate as REFIN.
VBIAS Regulator (VBIAS)
The VBIAS regulator provides internal analog and digital
blocks with a stable supply voltage over variations in
junction temperature and input voltage. A high quality,
low-ESR, ceramic bypass capacitor is required on the
VBIAS pin. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are
recommended because their values are more stable over
temperature. The bypass capacitor should be placed close
to the VBIAS pin and returned to AGND.
External loading on VBIAS is allowed, with the caution that
internal circuits require a minimum VBIAS of 2.7 V, and
that loads with ac or digital switching noise may degrade
performance. The VBIAS pin may be useful as a reference
voltage for external circuits.
Oscillator Frequency (RT)
The oscillator frequency can be set to an internally fixed
value of 350 kHz by leaving the RT pin unconnected
(floating). If a different frequency of operation is required
for the application, the oscillator frequency can be
externally adjusted from 280 kHz to 700 kHz by connecting
a resistor to the RT pin to ground. The operating frequency
is approximated by the following equation, where R is the
resistance from RT to AGND:
Switching Frequency + 100 kW

Error Amplifier (REFIN, VSENSE, COMP)
The high performance voltage error amplifier, with wide
5MHz bandwidth, low 1.5 mV-max offset, 1.4 V/µs slew
rate, and ground rail input range differentiates the
TPS54672 from most dc/dc converters. The user is given
the flexibility to use a wide range of output L and C filter
components to suit the particular application needs. Type
2 or type 3 compensation can be employed using external
compensation components.
The REFIN input range includes ground which allows 0%
duty cycle during transient conditions. The user should
note that steady state regulation accuracy of voltages less
than 0.84 V is limited by the minimum controllable ON
time.
PWM Control
Signals from the error amplifier output, oscillator and
current limit circuit are processed by the PWM control
logic. Referring to the internal block diagram, the control
logic includes the PWM comparator, OR gate, PWM latch
and portions of the adaptive dead time and control logic
block. During steady state operation below the current limit
threshold, the PWM comparator output and oscillator
pulse train alternately reset and set the PWM latch. Once
the PWM latch is set, the low-side FET remains on for a
minimum duration set by the oscillator pulse width. During
this period, the PWM ramp discharges rapidly to its valley
voltage. When the ramp begins to charge back up, the
low-side FET turns off and high-side FET turns on. As the
PWM ramp voltage exceeds the error amplifier output
voltage, the PWM comparator resets the latch, thus
turning off the high-side FET and turning on the low-side
FET. The low-side FET remains on until the next oscillator
pulse discharges the PWM ramp.
During transient conditions, the error amplifier output
could be below the PWM ramp valley voltage or above the
PWM peak voltage. If the error amplifier is high, the PWM
latch is never reset and the high-side FET remains on until
the oscillator pulse signals the control logic to turn the
high-side FET off and the low-side FET on. The device
operates at its maximum duty cycle until the output voltage
rises to the regulation set-point, setting VSENSE to
approximately the same voltage as REFIN. If the error
amplifier output is low, the PWM latch is continually reset
and the high-side FET does not turn on. The low-side FET
remains on until the VSENSE voltage decreases to a
range that allows the PWM comparator to change states.
The TPS54672 is capable of sinking current continuously
until the output reaches the regulation set-point.
www.ti.com
SLVS397C − JULY 2001 − REVISED FEBRUARY 2005
If the current limit comparator trips for longer than 100 ns,
the PWM latch resets before the PWM ramp exceeds the
error amplifier output. The high-side FET turns off and
low-side FET on to decrease the output current. This
process is repeated each cycle in which the current limit
comparator is tripped.
Dead-Time Control and MOSFET Drivers
Adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through
current from flowing in both N-channel power MOSFETs
during the switching transitions by actively controlling the
turnon times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver
does not turn on until the gate drive voltage to the low-side
FET is below 2 V, while the low-side driver does not turn
on until the voltage at the junction of the power MOSFETs
(PH pin) is below 2 V.
The high-side and low-side drivers are designed with
300-mA source and sink capability to quickly drive the
power MOSFETs gates. The low-side driver is supplied
from VIN, while the high-side drive is supplied from the
BOOT pin. A bootstrap circuit uses an external BOOT
capacitor and internal 2.5-Ω bootstrap switch connected
between the VIN and BOOT pins. The bootstrap switch is
turned on when the low-side FET is on to charge the BOOT
capacitor. The low resistance of the bootstrap switch
improves drive efficiency and reduces external component
count.
Overcurrent Protection
The cycle by cycle current limiting is achieved using a
sense-FET on the high-side MOSFET and differential
amplifier with preset overcurrent threshold. The high-side
MOSFET is turned off within 200 ns of the voltage on the
sense-FET exceeding the current limit threshold. A 100-ns
leading edge blanking circuit prevents false tripping of the
current limit when the high-side switch is turning on.
Current limit detection occurs only when current flows from
VIN to PH when current is being sourced to the output filter.
Load protection during current sink operation is provided
by thermal shutdown.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown turns off the power MOSFETs and
disables the control circuits if the junction temperature
exceeds the 150°C. The device is released from shutdown
automatically when the junction temperature decreases to
10°C, and starts up under control of the slow-start circuit.
Status (STATUS)
The status pin is an open drain output that indicates when
internal conditions are sufficient for proper operation.
STATUS can be coupled back to a system controller or
monitor circuit to indicate that the termination or tracking
regulator is ready for start up. STATUS is high impedance
when the TPS54672 is operating or ready to be enabled.
STATUS is active low if any of the following occur:
D VIN < UVLO threshold
D VBIAS or internal reference have not settled.
D Thermal shutdown is active.
