DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The TPS40077 drives external N-channel MOSFETs using second-generation, predictive-gate drive to minimize
conduction in the body diode of the low-side FET and maximize efficiency. Pre-biased outputs are supported by
not allowing the low-side FET to turn on until the voltage commanded by the closed-loop soft start is greater
than the pre-bias voltage. Voltage feed-forward provides good response to input transients and provides a
constant PWM gain over a wide input-voltage operating range to ease compensation requirements.
Programmable short-circuit protection provides fault-current limiting and hiccup recovery to minimize power
dissipation with a shorted output. The 16-pin PowerPAD package gives good thermal performance and a
compact footprint.

DESCRIPTION
14
I
The peak voltage on BOOST is equal to the SW node voltage plus the voltage present at DBP less the bootstrap
diode drop. This drop can be 1.4 V for the internal bootstrap diode or 300 mV for an external Schottky diode. The
voltage differential between this pin and SW is the available drive voltage for the high-side FET.
COMP
8
O
Output of the error amplifier, input to the PWM comparator. A feedback network is connected from this pin to the
FB pin to compensate the overall loop. The COMP pin is internally clamped to 3.4 V.
DBP

MOSFET during conduction. Just prior to the beginning of a switching cycle, this pin is pulled to approximately
VDD/2 and released when SW is within 2 V of VDD or after a timeout (the precondition time), whichever occurs
first. Placing a capacitor across the resistor from ILIM to VDD allows the ILIM threshold to decrease during the

less than that on the SS pin. Output voltage regulation is controlled by the SS voltage ramp until the voltage on
the SS pin reaches the internal offset voltage of 1 V plus the internal reference voltage of 700 mV. If SS is pulled
below 225 mV, the device goes into a shutdown state where the power FETSs are turned off and the prebias

SLUS714 – JANUARY 2007
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS40077 allows the user to construct synchronous voltage-mode buck converters with inputs ranging from
4.5 V to 28 V and outputs as low as 700 mV. Predictive Gate Drive circuitry optimizes switching delays for
increased efficiency and improved converter output-power capability. Voltage feed-forward is employed to ease
loop compensation for wide-input-range designs and provide better line transient response.
The TPS40077 incorporates circuitry to allow startup into a preexisting output voltage without sinking current
from the source of the preexisting output voltage. This avoids damaging sensitive loads at start-up. The
controller can be synchronized to an external clock source or can free-run at a user-programmable frequency.
An integrated power-good indicator is available for logic (open-drain) output of the condition of the output of the
converter.
MINIMUM PULSE DURATION
The TPS40077 devices have limitations on the minimum pulse duration that can be used to design a converter.
Reliable operation is assured for nominal pulse durations of 150 ns and above. This places some restrictions on
the conversion ratio that can be achieved at a given switching frequency. Figure 14 shows minimum output
voltage for a given input voltage and frequency.
SLEW RATE LIMIT ON VDD
The regulator that supplies power for the drivers on the TPS40077 requires a limited rising slew rate on VDD for
proper operation if the input voltage is above 10 V. If the slew rate is too great, this regulator can overshoot and
damage to the part can occur. To ensure that the part operates properly, limit the slew rate to no more than
0.12 V/µs as the voltage at VDD crosses 8 V. If necessary, an R-C filter can be used on the VDD pin of the
device. Connect the resistor from the VDD pin to the input supply of the converter. Connect the capacitor from
the VDD pin to PGND. There should not be excessive (more than a 200-mV) voltage drop across the resistor in
normal operation. This places some constraints on the R-C values that can be used. Figure 22 is a schematic
fragment that shows the connection of the R-C slew rate limit circuit. Equation 1 and Equation 2 give values for
R and C that limit the slew rate in the worst-case condition.

SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY (PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR)
The TPS40077 has independent clock oscillator and PWM ramp generator circuits. The clock oscillator serves
as the master clock to the ramp generator circuit. Connecting a single resistor from RT to ground sets the
switching frequency of the clock oscillator. The clock frequency is related to RT by:

PROGRAMMING THE RAMP GENERATOR CIRCUIT AND UVLO
The ramp generator circuit provides the actual ramp used by the PWM comparator. The ramp generator
provides voltage feed-forward control by varying the PWM ramp slope with line voltage, while maintaining a
constant ramp magnitude. Varying the PWM ramp directly with line voltage provides excellent response to line
variations, because the PWM is not required to wait for loop delays before changing the duty cycle. (See
Figure 23).
The PWM ramp must reach approximately 1 V in amplitude during a clock cycle, or the PWM is not allowed to
start. The PWM ramp time is programmed via a single resistor (RKFF) connected from KFF VDD. RKFF, VSTART,
and RT are related by (approximately):
R KFF + 0.131

where
•
•
RT and RKFF are in kΩ
VUVLO(on) is in V
This yields typical numbers for the programmed startup voltage. The minimum and maximum values may vary
up to ±15% from this number. Figure 16 through Figure 18 show the typical relationship of VUVLO(on), VUVLO(off)
and RKFF at three common frequencies.
The programmable UVLO circuit incorporates 20% hysteresis from the start voltage to the shutdown voltage. For
example, if the startup voltage is programmed to be 10 V, the controller starts when VDD reaches 10 V and shuts
down when VDD falls below 8 V. The maximum duty cycle begins to decrease as the input voltage rises to twice
the startup voltage. Below this point, the maximum duty cycle is as specified in the Electrical Characteristics
table. Note that with this scheme, the theoretical maximum output voltage that the converter can produce is
approximately two times the programmed startup voltage. For design, set the programmed startup voltage equal
to or greater than the desired output voltage divided by maximum duty cycle (85% for frequencies 500 kHz and
below). For example, a 5-V output converter should not have a programmed startup voltage below 5.9 V.
Figure 23 shows the theoretical maximum duty cycle (typical) for various programmed startup voltages.

PROGRAMMING SOFT START
TPS40077 uses a closed-loop approach to ensure a controlled ramp on the output during start-up. Soft start is
programmed by connecting an external capacitor (CSS) from the SS pin to GND. This capacitor is charged by a
fixed current, generating a ramp signal. The voltage on SS is level-shifted down approximately 1 V and fed into
a separate noninverting input to the error amplifier. The loop is closed on the lower of the level-shifted SS
voltage or the 700-mV internal reference voltage. Once the level-shifted SS voltage rises above the internal
reference voltage, output-voltage regulation is based on the internal reference. To ensure a controlled ramp-up
of the output voltage, the soft-start time should be greater than the L-COUT time constant or:
t START w 2p
ǸL
COUT
(5)
Note that there is a direct correlation between tSTART and the input current required during start-up. The lower
tSTART is, the higher the input current required during start-up, because the output capacitance must be charged
faster. For a desired soft-start time, the soft-start capacitance, CSS, can be found from:

PROGRAMMING SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The TPS40077 uses a two-tier approach for short-circuit protection. The first tier is a pulse-by-pulse protection
scheme. Short-circuit protection is implemented on the high-side MOSFET by sensing the voltage drop across
the MOSFET when its gate is driven high. The MOSFET voltage is compared to the voltage dropped across a
resistor (RILIM) connected from VVDD to the ILIM pin when driven by a constant-current sink. If the voltage drop
across the MOSFET exceeds the voltage drop across the ILIM resistor, the switching pulse is immediately
terminated. The MOSFET remains off until the next switching cycle is initiated. This is illustrated in Figure 24.

Figure 24. Switching and Current-Limit Waveforms and Timing Relationship
In addition, just prior to the high-side MOSFET turning on, the ILIM pin is pulled down to approximately half of
VVDD. The ILIM pin is allowed to return to its nominal value after one of two events occurs. If the SW node rises
to within approximately 2 V of VVDD, the device allows ILIM to go back to its nominal value. This is illustrated in
Figure 24(A). T1 is the delay time from the internal PWM signal being asserted and the rise of SW. This includes
a driver delay of 50 ns, typical. T2 is the reaction time of the sensing circuit that allows ILIM to start to return to
its nominal value, typically 20 ns. The second event that can cause ILIM to return to its nominal value is for an
internal timeout to expire. This is illustrated in Figure 24(B) as T3. Here SW never rises to VVDD – 2 V, for
whatever reason, and the internal timer times out, releasing the ILIM pin.
Prior to ILIM starting back to its nominal value, overcurrent sensing is not enabled. In normal operation, this
ensures that the SW node is at a higher voltage than ILIM when overcurrent sensing starts, avoiding false trips
while allowing for a quicker blanking delay than would ordinarily be possible. Placing a capacitor across RILIM
sets an exponential approach to the normal voltage at the ILIM pin. This exponential decay of the overcurrent
threshold can be used to compensate for ringing on the SW node after its rising edge and to help compensate
for slower-turnon FETs. Choosing the proper capacitance requires care. If the capacitance is too large, the
voltage at ILIM does not approach the desired overcurrent level quickly enough, resulting in an apparent shift in
overcurrent threshold as pulse duration changes. As a general rule, it is best to make the time constant of the
R-C at the ILIM pin 0.2 times or less of the nominal pulse duration of the converter as shown in Equation 11.
Also, the comparator that uses ILIM and SW to determine if an overcurrent condition exists has a clamp on its
SW input. This clamp makes the SW node never appear to fall more than 1.4 V (approximately, could be as
much as 2 V at –40°C) below VVDD. When ILIM is more than 1.4 V below VVDD, the overcurrent circuit is
effectively disabled.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
The second-tier protection incorporates a fault counter. The fault counter is incremented on each cycle with an
overcurrent pulse and decremented on a clock cycle without an overcurrent pulse. When the counter reaches
seven (7), a fault condition is declared by the controller. When this happens, the outputs are placed in a state
defined in Table 2. Seven soft-start cycles are initiated (without activity on the HDRV and LDRV outputs) and the
PWM is disabled during this period. The counter is decremented on each soft-start cycle. When the counter is
decremented to zero, the PWM is re-enabled and the controller attempts to restart. If the fault has been
removed, the output starts up normally. If the output is still present, the counter counts seven overcurrent pulses
and re-enters the second-tier fault mode. Refer to Figure 25 for typical fault-protection waveforms.
The minimum short-circuit limit setpoint (ISCP(min)) depends on tSTART, COUT, VOUT, ripple current in the inductor
(IRIPPLE), and the load current at turnon (ILOAD).

specification that may exist.

LOOP COMPENSATION
Voltage-mode, buck-type converters are typically compensated using Type III networks. Because the TPS40077
uses voltage feed-forward control, the gain of the voltage feed-forward circuit must be included in the PWM gain.
The gain of the voltage feed-forward circuit, combined with the PWM circuit and power stage for the TPS40077
is:
KPWM ≅ VUVLO(on)
The remainder of the loop compensation is performed as in a normal buck converter. Note that the voltage
feed-forward circuitry removes the input voltage term from the expression for PWM gain. PWM gain is strictly a
function of the programmed startup voltage.
SHUTDOWN AND SEQUENCING
The TPS40077 can be shut down by pulling the SS pin below 250 mV. In this state, both of the output drivers
are in the low-output state, turning off both of the power FETs. This places the output of the converter in a
high-impedance state. When shutting down the converter, a crisp pulldown of the SS pin is preferred to a slow
pulldown. A slow pulldown could allow the output to be pulled low, possibly sinking current from the load. As a
general rule of thumb, the fall time of SS when shutting down the converter should be no more than 1/10th of
the control loop crossover frequency. An example of a shutdown interface is shown in Figure 26.

INTERNAL REGULATORS
The internal regulators are linear regulators that provide controlled voltages from which the drivers and the
internal circuitry operate. The DBP pin is connected to a nominal 8-V regulator that provides power for the driver
circuits. This regulator has two modes of operation. At VDD voltages below 8.5 V, the regulator is in a
low-dropout mode of operation and tries to provide as little impedance as possible from VDD to DBP. Above 10
V at VDD, the regulator regulates DBP to 8 V. Between these two voltages, the regulator remains in the state it
was in when VDD entered this region (see Figure 20). Small amounts of current can be drawn from this pin for
other circuit functions, as long as power dissipation in the controller device remains at acceptable levels and
junction temperature does not exceed 125°C.
The LVBP pin is connected to another internal regulator that provides 4.2 V (nom) for the operation of
low-voltage circuitry in the controller. This pin can be used for other circuit purposes, but extreme care must be
taken to ensure that no extra noise is coupled onto this pin; otherwise, controller performance suffers. Current
draw is not to exceed 1 mA. See Figure 21 for typical output voltage at this pin.
TPS40077 POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipation in the TPS40077 is largely dependent on the MOSFET driver currents and the input
voltage. The driver current is proportional to the total gate charge, Qg, of the external MOSFETs. Driver power
(neglecting external gate resistance) can be calculated from:
PD = Qg × VDR × fSW
(Watts/driver)
where VDR is the driver output voltage
The total power dissipation in the TPS40077, assuming the same MOSFET is selected for both the high-side
and synchronous rectifier, is described in Equation 14 or Equation 15.

no air flow, is 37°C/W. See the application report titled PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package (SLMA002) for
detailed information on PowerPAD package mounting and usage.

BOOST DIODE
The TPS40077 series has internal diodes to charge the boost capacitor connected from SW to BOOST. The
drop across these diodes is rather large, 1.4 V nominal, at room temperature. If this drop is too large for a
particular application, an external diode may be connected from DBP (anode) to BOOST (cathode). This
provides significantly improved gate drive for the high-side FET, especially at lower input voltages.
GROUNDING AND BOARD LAYOUT
The TPS40077 provides separate signal ground (SGND) and power ground (PGND) pins. Care should be given
to proper separation of the circuit grounds. Each ground should consist of a plane to minimize its impedance, if
possible. The high-power noisy circuits such as the output, synchronous rectifier, MOSFET driver decoupling
capacitor (DBP), and the input capacitor should be connected to PGND plane.
Sensitive nodes such as the FB resistor divider and RT should be connected to the SGND plane. The SGND
plane should only make a single-point connection to the PGND plane. It is suggested that the SGND pin be tied
to the copper area for the thermal pad underneath the chip. Tie the PGND to the thermal-pad copper area as
well, and make the connection to the power circuit ground from the PGND pin. Reference the output voltage
divider to the SGND pin.
Component placement should ensure that bypass capacitors (LVPB and DBP) are located as close as possible
to their respective power and ground pins. Also, sensitive circuits such as FB, RT and ILIM should not be
located near high-dv/dt nodes such as HDRV, LDRV, BOOST, and the switch node (SW). Failure to follow
careful layout practices results in suboptimal operation. More detailed information can be found in the
TPS40077EVM User's Guide (SLVU192).

Output Inductor, LOUT
The output inductor is one of the most important components to select. It stores the energy necessary to keep
the output regulated when the switch FET is turned off. The value of the output inductor dictates the peak and
RMS currents in the converter. These currents are important when selecting other components. Equation (1) can
be used to calculate a value for LOUT for this module which operates at a switching frequency (f) of 300 kHz.

IRIPPLE is the allowable ripple in the inductor. Select IRIPPLE to be between 20% and 30% of maximum IOUT. For

was chosen. This will reduce IRIPPLE by about 17% to 2.07 A.
This IRIPPLE value can be used calculate the rms and peak current flowing in LOUT. Note that this peak current is

Output Capacitor, COUT, ELCO and MLCC
Several parameters must be considered when selecting the output capacitor. The capacitance value should be
selected based on the output overshoot, VOVER, and undershoot, VUNDER, during a transient load, ISTEP, on the
converter. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is chosen to allow the converter to meet the output ripple
specification, VRIPPLE. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum output voltage. Another parameter
to consider is equivalent series inductance, which is important in fast-transient load situations. Also, size and
technology can be factors when choosing the output capacitor. In this design, a large-capacitance electrolytic
type capacitor, COUT ELCO, is used to meet the overshoot and undershoot specifications. Its ESR is chosen to
meet the output ripple specification. Smaller multiple-layer ceramic capacitors, COUT MLCC, are used to filter
high-frequency noise.
The minimum required capacitance and maximum ESR can be calculated using the following equations.

From Equation 21, Equation 22, and Equation 23, the capacitance for COUT should be greater than 444 µF, and
its ESR should be less than 12 mΩ. The 470-µF/6.3-V capacitor from Panasonic's FC series was chosen. Its
ESR is 160 mΩ. MLCCs of 47 µF and 22 µF/16 V are also added in parallel to achieve the required ESR and to
reduce high-frequency noise.
Input Capacitor, CIN ELCO and MLCC
The input capacitor is selected to handle the ripple current of the buck stage. Also, a relatively large capacitance
is used to keep the ripple voltage on the supply line low. This is especially important where the supply line has
high impedance. It is recommended however, that the supply-line impedance be kept as low as possible.
The input-capacitor ripple current can be calculated using Equation 24.

IIN(AVG) is the average input current. This is calculated simply by multiplying the output dc current by the duty
cycle. The ripple current in the input capacitor is 3.3 A. An 1812 MLCC using X5R material has a typical
dissipation factor of 5%. For a 22-µF capacitor at 300 kHz, the ESR is approximately 4 mΩ. Two capacitors are
used in parallel, so the power dissipation in each capacitor is less than 11 mW.
A 470-µF/16-V electrolytic is added to maintain the voltage on the input rail.
Switching MOSFET, QSW
The following key parameters must be met by the selected MOSFET.
• Drain source voltage, Vds, must be able to withstand the input voltage plus spikes that may be on the
switching node. For this design a Vds rating of 30 volts is recommended.
• Drain current, ID, at 25°C, must be greater than that calculated using Equation 25.

Once the above boundary parameters are defined, the next step in selecting the switching MOSFET is to select
the key performance parameters. Efficiency is the performance characteristic which drives the other selection
criteria. Target efficiency for this design is 90%. Based on 1.8-V output and 10 A, this equates to a power loss in
the converter of 1.8 W. Based on this figure, a target of 0.6 W dissipated in the switching FET was chosen.
The following equations can be used to calculate the power loss, PQSW, in the switching MOSFET.

Ig = gate-drive current
QOSS(SW) = switching MOSFET output charge
QOSS(SR) = synchronous MOSFET output charge
Qg(TOT) = total gate charge from zero volts to the gate voltage
Vg = gate voltage
If the total estimated loss is split evenly between conduction and switching losses, Equation 27 and Equation 28
yield preliminary values for RDS(on) and (Qgs1 + Qgd). Note output losses due to QOSS and gate losses have been
ignored here. Once a MOSFET is selected, these parameters can be added.
The switching MOSFET for this design should have an RDS(on) of less than 8 mΩ. The sum of Qgd and Qgs
should be approximately 4 nC.
It may not always be possible to get a MOSFET which meets both these criteria, so a compromise may be
necessary. Also, by selecting different MOSFETs close to these criteria and calculating power loss, the final
selection can be made. It was found that the Si7860DP MOSFET from Vishay semiconductor gave reasonable
results. This device has an RDS(on) of 8 mΩ and a (Qgs1 + Qgd) of 5 nC. The estimated conduction losses are
0.115 W and the switching losses are 0.276 W. This gives a total estimated power loss of 0.391 W versus 0.6 W
for our initial boundary condition. Note this does not include gate losses of approximately 71 mW and output
losses of 20 mW.
Rectifier MOSFET, QSR
Similar criteria to the foregoing can be used for the rectifier MOSFET. There is one significant difference: due to
the body diode conducting, the rectifier MOSFET switches with zero voltage across its drain and source, so
effectively with zero switching losses. However, there are some losses in the body diode. These are minimized
by reducing the delay time between the transition from the switching MOSFET turnoff to rectifier MOSFET
turnon and vice-versa. The TPS40077 incorporates TI's proprietary Predictive Gate Drive circuitry (PGD), which
helps reduce these delays to around 10 ns.
The equations used to calculate the losses in the rectifier MOSFET are:

Estimating the body diode losses based on a forward voltage of 1 V gives 0.072 W. The gate losses are
unknown at this time, so assume 0.1-W gate losses. This leaves 0.428 W for conduction losses. Using this
figure, a target RDS(on) of 5 mΩ was calculated.
The Si7336ADP from Vishay was chosen. Using the parameters from its data sheet, the actual expected power
losses are calculated. Conduction loss is 0.317 W, body diode loss is 0.072 W, and the gate loss is 0.136W.
This totals 0.525 W associated with the rectifier MOSFET.
Two other criteria should be verified before finalizing on the rectifier MOSFET. One is the requirement to ensure
that predictive gate drive functions correctly. The turnoff delay of the Si7336ADP is 97 ns. The minimum turnoff
delay of the Si7860DP is 25 ns. Together these devices meet the 130-ns requirement.
Secondly, the ratio between Cgs and Cgd should be greater than 1. The Si7336ADP easily meets this criterion.
This helps reduce the risk of dv/dt-induced turnon of the rectifier MOSFET. If this is likely to be a problem, a
small resistor may be added in series with the boost capacitor, CBOOST.

This gives a resistor value of 165 kΩ. The nominal frequency using this resistor is 300 kHz.
Feed-Forward and UVLO Resistor, RKFF
A resistor connected to the KFF pin of the IC feeds into the ramp generator. This resistor provides current into
the ramp generator proportional to the input voltage. The ramp is then adjusted to compensate for different input
voltages. This provides the voltage feed-forward feature of the TPS40077.
The same resistor also sets the undervoltage lockout point. The input start voltage should be used to calculate a
value for RKFF. For this module, the minimum input voltage is 8 V; however, due to tolerances in the IC, a start
voltage of 10% less than the minimum input voltage is selected. The start voltage for RKFF calculation is 7.2 V.
Using Equation 35, RKFF can be selected.

Soft-Start Capacitor, CSS
It is good practice to limit the rise time of the output voltage. This helps prevent output overshoot and possible
damage to the load. The selection of the soft-start time is arbitrary. It must meet one condition: it should be
greater than the time constant of the output filter, LOUT and COUT. This time is given by
t

(36)
The soft-start time must be greater than 0.23 ms. A time of 0.75 ms was chosen. This time also helps limit the

minimum short-circuit current. The value of CSS can be calculated using Equation 37.

Short-circuit protection is programmed using the RILIM resistor. Selection of this resistor depends on the RDS(on)
of the switching MOSFET selected and the required short-circuit current trip point, ISCP. The minimum ISCP is
limited by the inductor peak current, the output voltage, the output capacitor, and the soft-start time. Their
relationship is given by Equation 38. A short-circuit current trip point greater than that calculated by this equation

The minimum ISCP is 12.25 A, and the maximum is 34 A.
It is also recommended to add a small capacitor, CILIM, across RILIM. The value of this capacitor should be about

Boost Voltage, CBOOST and DBOOST (Optional)
To be able to drive an N-channel MOSFET in the switch location of a buck converter, a capacitor charge pump
or boost circuit is required. The TPS40077 contains the elements for this boost circuit. The designer must only
add a capacitor, CBOOST, from the switch node of the buck power stage to the BOOST pin of the IC. Selection
of this capacitor is based on the total gate charge of the switching MOSFET and the allowable ripple on the
boost voltage, ∆VBOOST. A ripple of 0.2 V is assumed for this design. Using these two parameters and
Equation 43, the minimum value for CBOOST can be calculated.
Q g(TOTAL)
CBOOST u
DV BOOST
(43)
The total gate charge of the switching MOSFET is 23 nC. A minimum CBOOST of 0.092 µF is required. A 0.1
µF capacitor was chosen. This capacitor must be able to withstand the maximum input voltage plus the
maximum voltage on DBP. This is 13.2 V plus 9.0 V, which is 22.2 V. A 50-V capacitor is used.
To reduce losses in the TPS40077 and to increase the available gate voltage for the switching MOSFET, an
external diode can be added between the DBP pin and the BOOST pin of the IC. A small-signal Schottky diode
should be used here, such as the BAT54.

The target response is to have the crossover frequency between 1/9 and 1/5 times the switching frequency, in
order to have a phase margin greater than 45° and a gain margin greater than 6 dB.

Looking at the PWM and LC bode plot, there are a few things which must be done to achieve stability.
1. Place two zeros close to the double pole, e.g., fZ1 = fZ2 = 4.3 kHz
2. Place both poles well above the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency was selected as one sixth
the switching frequency, fco1 = 50 kHz, fP1 = 66 kHz
3. Place the second pole at three times fco1. This ensures that the overall system gain falls off quickly to give
good gain margin, fp2 = 150 kHz
4. The high-frequency gain should be sufficient to ensure 0 dB at the required crossover frequency, GAIN =
–1 × gain of PWM and LC at the crossover frequency, GAIN = 16.9 dB
Using these values and Equation 50 through Equation 55, the Rs and Cs around the compensation network can
be calculated.
1. Set RZ1 = 51 kΩ
2. Calculate RSET using Equation 50, RSET = 32.4 kΩ
3. Using Equation 54 and fz1 = 4.3 kHz, CPZ1 can be calculated to be 726 pF, CPZ1= 680 pF
4. fP1 and Equation 52 yields RP1 to be a standard value of 3.3 kΩ.

5. The required gain of 16.9 dB and Equation 51 sets the value for RPZ2. RPZ2 = 21.5 kΩ.
6. CZ2 is calculated using Equation 55 and the desired frequency for the second zero, CZ2 = 1.7 nF, or using
standard values, 1.8 nF.
7. Finally, CP2 is calculated using the second pole frequency and Equation 53; CP2 = 47 pF.
Using these values, the simulated results are 57° of phase margin at 54 kHz.

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
