This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Figure 13. Typical 3.3-V input Application Circuit Diagram
Overview
The TPS53321 is a high-efficiency switching regulator with two integrated N-channel MOSFETs and is capable
of delivering up to 5 A of load current. The TPS53321 provides output voltage between 0.6 V and 0.84 × VIN from
2.9 V to 6.0 V wide input voltage range.
This device employs five operation modes to fit various application needs. The master/slave mode enables a
two-phase interleaved operation to reduce input ripple. The skip mode operation provides reduced power loss
and increases the efficiency at light load. The unique, patented PWM modulator enables smooth light load to
heavy load transition while maintaining fast load transient.

In forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM), the high-side FET is ON during the on-time and the low-side FET
is ON during the off-time. The switching is synchronized to the internal clock thus the switching frequency is
fixed.
In diode emulation (DE) mode, the high-side FET is ON during the on-time and low-side FET is ON during the
off-time until the inductor current reaches zero. An internal zero-crossing comparator detects the zero crossing of
inductor current from positive to negative. When the inductor current reaches zero, the comparator sends a
signal to the logic control and turns off the low-side FET.

SLUSAF3 – DECEMBER 2010

When the load is increased, the inductor current is always positive and the zero-crossing comparator does not
send a zero-crossing signal. The converter enters into continuous conduction mode (CCM) when no
zero-crossing is detected for two consecutive PWM pulses. The switching synchronizes to the internal clock and
the switching frequency is fixed.
In high-efficiency (HEF) mode, the operation is the same as DE mode at light load. However, the converter does
not synchronize to the internal clock during CCM. Instead, the PWM modulator determines the switching
frequency.
Eco-mode™ Light-Load Operation
In skip modes (DE and HEF) when the load
inductor current becomes negative by the end
turned off when the inductor current reaches
increased compared to the normal PWM mode
loss is reduced, thereby improving efficiency.
current is less than one-half of the inductor peak current, the
of off-time. During light load operation, the low-side MOSFET is
zero. The energy delivered to the load per switching cycle is
operation and the switching frequency is reduced. The switching
In both DE and HEF mode, the switching frequency is reduced in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). When
the load current is 0 A, the minimum switching frequency is reached. The difference between VVBST and VSW
must be maintained at a value higher than 2.4 V.
Forced Continuous Conduction Mode (FCCM)
When the PS pin is grounded or greater than 2.2 V, the TPS53321 is operating in forced continuous conduction
mode in both light-load and heavy-load conditions. In this mode, the switching frequency remains constant over
the entire load range, making it suitable for applications that need tight control of switching frequency at a cost of
lower efficiency at light load.
Soft-Start
The soft-start function reduces the inrush current during the start up sequence. A slow-rising reference voltage is
generated by the soft-start circuitry and sent to the input of the error amplifier. When the soft-start ramp voltage
is less than 600 mV, the error amplifier uses this ramp voltage as the reference. When the ramp voltage reaches
600 mV, the error amplifier switches to a fixed 600-mV reference. The typical soft-start time is 400 µs.
Power Good
The TPS53321 monitors the voltage on the FB pin. If the FB voltage is between 83% and 117% of the reference
voltage, the power good signal remains high. If the FB voltage falls outside of these limits, the internal open drain
output pulls the power good pin (PGD) low.
During start-up, VIN must be higher than 1 V in order to have valid power good logic, and the power good signal
is delayed for 1.2 ms after the FB voltage falls to within the power good limits. There is also 10-µs delay during
the shut down sequence.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection
The TPS53321 provides undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection for both power input (VIN) and bias input (VDD)
voltage. If either of them is lower than the UVLO threshold voltage minus the hysteresis, the device shuts off.
When the voltage rises above the threshold voltage, the device restarts. The typical UVLO rising threshold is 2.8
V for both VIN and VVDD. A hysteresis voltage of 130 mV for VIN and 75 mV for VVDD is also provided to prevent
glitch.
Overcurrent Protection
The TPS53321 continuously monitors the current flowing through the high-side and the low-side MOSFETs. If
the current through the high-side FET exceeds 6.5 A, the high-side FET turns off and the low-side FET turns on
until the next PWM cycle. An overcurrent (OC) counter starts to increment each occurrence of an overcurrent
event. The converter shuts down immediately when the OC counter reaches four. The OC counter resets if the
detected current is less 6.5 A after an OC event.

SLUSAF3 – DECEMBER 2010
Another set of overcurrent circuitry monitors the current flowing through low-side FET. If the current through the
low-side FET exceeds 6.8 A, the overcurrent protection is enabled and immediately turns off both the high-side
and the low-side FETs and shuts down the converter. The device is fully protected against overcurrent during
both on-time and off-time. The device attempts to restart after a hiccup delay of 14.5 ms (typical). If the
overcurrent condition clears before restart, the device starts up normally.
Overvoltage Protection
The TPS53321 monitors the voltage divided feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage conditions.
When the feedback voltage is greater than 117% of the reference, the high-side MOSFET turns off and the
low-side MOSFET turns on. The output voltage then drops until it reaches the undervoltage threshold. At that
point the low-side MOSFET turns off and the device enters a high-impedance state.
Undervoltage Protection
When the feedback voltage is lower than 83% of the reference voltage, the undervoltage protection timer starts.
If the feedback voltage remains lower than the undervoltage threshold voltage after 10 ms, the device turns off
both the high-side and the low-side MOSFETs and goes into a high-impedance state. The device attempts to
restart after a hiccup delay of 14.5 ms (typical).
Overtemperature Protection
The TPS53321 continuously monitors the die temperature. If the die temperature exceeds the threshold value
(140˚C typical), the device shuts off. When the device temperature falls to 40˚C below the overtemperature
threshold, it restarts and returns to normal operation.
Output Discharge
When the enable pin is low, the TPS53321 discharges the output capacitors through an internal MOSFET switch
between SW and PGND while high-side and low-side MOSFETs remain off. The typical discharge switch-on
resistance is 60 Ω. This function is disabled when VIN is less than 1 V.
Master/Slave Operation and Synchronization
Two TPS53321 can operate interleaved when configured as master/slave. The SYNC pins of the two devices are
connected together for synchronization. In CCM, the master device sends the 180° out-of-phase pulse to the
slave device through the SYNC pin, which determines the leading edge of the PWM pulse. If the slave device
does not receive the SYNC pulse from the master device or if the SYNC connection is broken during operation,
the slave device continues to operate using its own internal clock.
In DE mode, the master/slave switching node does not synchronize to each other if either one of them is
operating in DCM. When both master and slave enter CCM, the switching nodes of the master and the slave
synchronize to each other.
The SYNC pin of the slave device can also connect to external clock source within ±20% of the 1.1-MHz
switching frequency. The falling edge of the SYNC triggers the rising edge of the PWM signal.

External Components Selection
1. DETERMINE THE VALUE OF R1 AND R2
The output voltage is programmed by the voltage-divider resistor, R1 and R2 shown in Figure 13. R1 is
connected between the FB pin and the output, and R2 is connected between the FB pin and GND. The
recommended value for R1 is from 1 kΩ to 5 kΩ. Determine R2 using equation in Equation 1.
0.6
R2 =
´ R1
VOUT - 0.6
(1)
2. CHOOSE THE INDUCTOR
The inductance value should be determined to give the ripple current of approximately 20% to 40% of maximum
output current. The inductor ripple current is determined by Equation 2:
IL(ripple ) =
(VIN - VOUT )´ VOUT
1
´
L ´ fSW
VIN
(2)
The inductor also needs to have low DCR to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak
inductor current before saturation.
3. CHOOSE THE OUTPUT CAPACITOR(S)
The output capacitor selection is determined by output ripple and transient requirement. When operating in CC
mode, the output ripple has three components:
VRIPPLE = VRIPPLE(C ) + VRIPPLE(ESR ) + VRIPPLE(ESL )
(3)
VRIPPLE(C ) =
IL(ripple )
8 ´ COUT ´ fSW
(4)
VRIPPLE(ESR ) = IL(ripple ) ´ ESR
(5)
V ´ ESL
VRIPPLE(ESL ) = IN
L
(6)
When ceramic output capacitors are used, the ESL component is usually negligible. In the case when multiple
output capacitors are used, ESR and ESL should be the equivalent of ESR and ESL of all the output capacitor in
parallel.
When operating in DCM, the output ripple is dominated by the component determined by capacitance. It also
varies with load current and can be expressed as shown in Equation 7.

VRIPPLE(DCM) =
(a ´ I (
L ripple ) - IOUT

4. CHOOSE THE INPUT CAPACITOR
The selection of input capacitor should be determined by the ripple current requirement. The ripple current
generated by the converter needs to be absorbed by the input capacitors as well as the input source. The RMS
ripple current from the converter can be expressed in Equation 9.
IIN(ripple ) = IOUT ´ D ´ (1 - D )
where

To minimize the ripple current drawn from the input source, sufficient input decoupling capacitors should be
placed close to the device. The ceramic capacitor is recommended because it provides low ESR and low ESL.

determined.

5. COMPENSATION DESIGN
The TPS53321 uses voltage mode control. To effectively compensate the power stage and ensure fast transient
response, Type III compensation is typically used.

The two zeros can be placed near the double pole frequency to cancel the response from the double pole. One
pole can be used to cancel ESR zero, and the other non-zero pole can be placed at half switching frequency to
attenuate the high frequency noise and switching ripple. Suitable values can be selected to achieve a
compromise between high phase margin and fast response. A phase margin higher than 45 degrees is required
for stable operation.
For DCM operation, a C3 between 56 pF and 150 pF is recommended for output capacitance between 20 µF to
200 µF.

Layout Considerations
Good layout is essential for stable power supply operation. Follow these guidelines for a clean PCB layout:
• Separate the power ground and analog ground planes. Connect them together at one location.
• Use four vias to connect the thermal pad to power ground.
• Place VIN and VDD decoupling capacitors as close to the device as possible.
• Use wide traces for VIN, VOUT, PGND and SW. These nodes carry high current and also serve as heat sinks.
• Place feedback and compensation components as close to the device as possible.
• Keep analog signals (FB, COMP) away from noisy signals (SW, SYNC, VBST).
• Refer to TPS53321 evaluation module for a layout example.
