It supports proprietary D-CAP™ Mode that uses an internal compensation circuit and is suitable for minimal external component count configuration when an appropriate amount of ESR at the output capacitor(s) is allowed. Basic operation of D-CAP Mode can be described as follows. At the beginning of each cycle, the synchronous high-side MOSFET is turned on, or becomes ON state. This MOSFET is turned off, or becomes OFF state, after the internal one shot timer expires. This one shot is determined by VIN and VOUT to keep the frequency fairly constant over the input voltage range at steady state, hence it is called adaptive on-time control or fixed frequency emulated on-time control (see PWM frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control). The MOSFET is turned on again when both feedback information, monitored at VFB voltage, indicates insufficient output voltage AND inductor current information indicates below the overcurrent limit. Repeating the operation in this manner, the controller regulates the output voltage. The synchronous low-side or rectifying MOSFET is turned on each OFF state to keep the conduction loss to a minimum. The TPS51117 supports selectable PWM-only and auto-skip operation modes. If EN_PSV is grounded, the switching regulator is disabled. If the EN_PSV pin is connected to 3.3 V or 5 V, the regulator is enabled with auto-skip mode selected. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when inductor current information detects zero level. This enables a seamless transition to reduced frequency operation during a light load condition so that high efficiency is maintained over a broad range of load currents. If the EN_PSV pin is floated, it is internally pulled up to 1.95 V, and the regulator is enabled with PWM-only mode selected. The rectifying MOSFET is not turned off when inductor current reaches zero. The converter runs forced continuous conduction mode for the entire load range. System designers may want to use this mode to avoid a certain frequency during a light load condition but with the cost of low efficiency. However, be aware the output has the capability to both source and sink current in this mode. If the output terminal is connected to a voltage source higher than the regulator’s target, the converter sinks current from the output and boosts the charge into the input capacitor. This may cause unexpected high voltage at VIN and may damage the power FETs. DC output voltage can be set by the external resistor divider as follows (refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23). V OUT R 1 1 R2 0.75 V (1) LIGHT LOAD CONDITION WITH AUTO-SKIP FUNCTION If auto-skip mode is selected, the TPS51117 automatically reduces the switching frequency during a light load condition to maintain high efficiency. This reduction of frequency is achieved smoothly and without an increase of Vout ripple or load regulation. Detailed operation is described as follows. As the output current decreases from a heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to the point that its valley touches zero current, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when this zero inductor current is detected. Since the output voltage is still higher than the reference at this moment, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are turned off and wait for the next cycle. As the load current decreases further, the converter runs in discontinuous conduction mode, taking longer time to discharge the output capacitor below the reference voltage. Note the ON time is kept the same as during the heavy load condition. In reverse, when the output current increases from a light load to a heavy load, the switching frequency increases to the preset value as the inductor current reaches to the continuous conduction. The transition load point to light load operation, IOUT(LL) (i.e., the threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode), can be calculated as follows: I OUT(LL) 1 2 L ƒsw VIN VOUT VOUT V IN (2) where fsw is the PWM switching frequency. Switching frequency versus output current in the light load condition is a function of L, fsw, VIN and VOUT, but it decreases almost proportional to the output current from the IOUT(LL) given above. For example, it is about 60 kHz at IOUT(LL)/5 if the PWM switching frequency is 300 kHz. 7 TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued) PWM FREQUENCY AND ADAPTIVE ON-TIME CONTROL The TPS51117 employs an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated oscillator on board. However, the device emulates a constant frequency by feed-forwarding the input and output voltages into the on-time one-shot timer. The ON time is controlled inverse proportional to the input voltage, and proportional to the output voltage, so that the duty ratio is kept as VOUT/VIN technically with the same cycle time. Equation Equation 3 shows a simplified calculation of the on time. (23)V T ON 19 10 12 R TON 100 mV OUT V IN 50 ns (3) Here, RTON is the external resistor connected from TON pin to the LL node. In the equation, 19 pF represents the internal timing capacitor with some typical parasitic capacitance at the TON pin. Also, 50 nsec is the turn-off delay time contributed by the internal circuit and that of the high-side MOSFET. Although this equation provides a good approximation to start with, the accuracy depends on each design and selection of the high-side MOSFET. Figure 1 shows the relationship of RTON to the switching frequency. 700 VIN = 15 V, VOUT = 2.5 V, PWM 600 f - Frequency - kHz 500 400 300 200 100 0 100 200 300 400 RTON - kW 500 600 Figure 1. Switching Frequency vs RTON The TPS51117 does not have a pin connected to VIN, but the input voltage information comes from the switch node (LL node) during the ON state. An advantage of LL monitoring is that the loss in the high-side NFET is now a part of the on-time calculation, thereby making the frequency more stable with load. Another consideration about frequency is jitter. Jitter may be caused by many reasons, but the constant on-time D-CAP mode scheme has some amount of inherent jitter. Since the output voltage ripple height is in the range of a couple of tens of milli-volts. A milli-volt order of noise on the feedback signal can affect the frequency by a few to ten percent. This is normal operation and has little harm to the power supply performance. LOW-SIDE DRIVER The low-side driver is designed to drive high-current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET(s). The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which is 5 Ω for V5DRV to DRVL and 1.5 Ω for DRVL to PGND. A dead time to prevent shoot through is internally generated between high-side MOSFET off to low-side MOSFET on, and low-side MOSFET off to high-side MOSFET on. A 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5DRV supply. The average drive current is calculated by the FET gate charge at Vgs = 5 V times the switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between V5DRV and GND. 8 TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued) HIGH-SIDE DRIVER The high-side driver is designed to drive high-current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET(s). When configured as a floating driver, 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5DRV supply. An internal PN diode is connected between V5DRV to this pin. The designer can add an external schottky diode if forward drop is critical to drive the high-side NFET or to achieve the last one percent efficiency improvement. The average drive current is also estimated by the gate charge at Vgs = 5 V times the switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by the flying capacitor between the VBST pin and LL pin. The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which is 5 Ω for VBST to DRVH and 1.5 Ω for DRVH to LL. SOFTSTART The TPS51117 has an internal, 1.2-ms, voltage servo softstart with overcurrent limit. When the EN_PSV pin becomes high, an internal DAC begins ramping up the reference voltage to the error amplifier. Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during start up. POWERGOOD The TPS51117 has power-good output. PGOOD is an open drain 7.5-mA pull-down output. This pin should be typically connected to a 5-V power supply node through a 100-kΩ resistor. The power-good function is activated after the soft start has finished. If the output voltage becomes within ±5% of the target value, internal comparators detect the power-good state and the power-good signal becomes high after a 64-µs internal delay. If the output voltage goes outside ±10% of the target value, the power-good signal becomes low immediately. OUTPUT DISCHARGE CONTROL (SOFTSTOP) The TPS51117 discharges output when EN_PSV is low or the converter is in a fault condition (UVP, OVP, UVLO, or thermal shutdown). The TPS51117 discharges output using an internal 20-Ω MOSFET which is connected to VOUT and PGND. The discharge time-constant is a function of the output capacitance and resistance of the discharge transistor. OVERCURRENT LIMIT The TPS51117 has cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting control. Inductor current is monitored during the OFF state and the controller keeps the OFF state when inductor current is larger than the overcurrent trip level. In order to provide both good accuracy and a cost effective solution, the TPS51117 supports temperature compensated MOSFET RDS(on) sensing. The TRIP pin should be connected to GND through the trip voltage setting resistor, RTRIP. The TRIP terminal sources 10-µA ITRIP current, and the trip level is set to the OCL trip voltage, VTRIP as in the following equation. V (mV) R (k) 10 (A) TRIP TRIP (4) Inductor current is monitored by the voltage between the PGND pin and the LL pin so the LL pin should be connected to the drain terminal of the low-side MOSFET. ITRIP has 4500 ppm/°C temperature coefficient to compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(on). PGND is used as the positive current sensing node so PGND should be connected to the source terminal of the bottom MOSFET. As the comparison is done during the OFF state, VTRIP sets the valley level of the inductor current. Thus, the load current at overcurrent threshold, Iocp, can be calculated as follows; Iocp V VIN VOUT V OUT V 1 R I 2 TRIP TRIP DS(on) ripple R 2Lƒ V DS(on) IN (5) In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor thus the output voltage tends to fall. Eventually it crosses the undervoltage protection threshold and shutdown. 9 TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued) NEGATIVE OVERCURRENT LIMIT (PWM-ONLY MODE) The TPS51117 also supports cycle-by-cycle negative overcurrent limiting in PWM-only mode. The overcurrent limit is set to be negative but is the same absolute value as the positive overcurrent limit. If output voltage continues to rise, the bottom MOSFET stays on, thus inductor current is reduced and reverses direction after it reaches zero. When there is too much negative current in the inductor, the bottom MOSFET is turned off and the current flows to VIN through the body diode of the top MOSFET. Because this protection reduces current to discharge the output capacitor, output voltage tends to rise, eventually hitting the overvoltage protection threshold and shutdown. In order to prevent false OVP from triggering, the bottom MOSFET is turned on again 400 ns after it is turned off. If the device hits the negative overcurrent threshold again before output voltage is discharged to the target level, the bottom MOSFET is turned off and the process repeats, which is called NOCL Buzz. It ensures maximum allowable discharge capability when output voltage continues to rise. On the other hand, if the output voltage is discharged to the target level before the NOCL threshold is reached, the bottom MOSFET is turned off, the top MOSFET is then turned on, and the device resumes normal operation. OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION The TPS51117 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage condition. When the feedback voltage becomes higher than 115% of the target value, the top MOSFET is turned off and the bottom MOSFET is turned on immediately. The output is also discharged by the internal 20-Ω transistor. Also, the TPS51117 monitors VOUT terminal voltage directly and if it becomes greater than 5.75 V, it turns off the top MOSFET driver. UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target value, the UVP comparator output goes high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 32 µs, the TPS51117 latches off the high-side and low-side MOSFETs and discharges the output with the internal 20-Ω transistor. This function is enabled after 2 ms from when EN_PSV is brought high, i.e., UVP is disabled during start up. UVLO PROTECTION The TPS51117 has V5FILT undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO). When the V5FILT voltage is lower than the UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS51117 is shut off. This is a nonlatched protection. THERMAL SHUTDOWN The TPS51117 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 160°C), the TPS51117 shuts itself off. Both top and bottom gate drivers are tied low with output discharged through the VOUT terminal. This is also a nonlatched protection. The device recovers once the temperature has decreased approximately 12°C. 10 TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS V5FILT SHUTDOWN CURRENT vs JUNCTION TEMPERATURE 800 8 700 7 IV5FILT_SHDN - Shutdown Current - mA IV5FILTPWM - Supply Current - mA PWM SUPPLY CURRENT vs JUNCTION TEMPERATURE 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 -50 0 50 100 TJ - Junction Temperature - ºC 4 3 2 1 0 50 100 TJ - Junction Temperature - ºC Figure 2.

VIN R1 DRVH PWM - VFB + + R2 Control Logic and Driver DRVL Lx Ic IL 0.75V ESR RL Vc Voltage Divider Io Switching Modulator Co Output Capacitor Figure 22. Simplified Diagram of the Modulator The VFB voltage is compared with the internal reference voltage after the divider resistors. The PWM comparator determines the timing to turn on the top MOSFET. The gain and speed of the comparator is high enough to keep the voltage at the beginning of each on cycle (or the end of off cycle) substantially constant. The DC output voltage may have line regulation due to ripple amplitude that slightly increases as the input voltage increases. For loop stability, the 0 dB frequency, f0, defined in the follow equation must be lower than 1/4 of the switching frequency. ƒ 1 ƒo sw 4 2 ESR Co (6) As f0 is determined solely by the output capacitor characteristics, loop stability of D-CAP™ Mode is determined by capacitor chemistry. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have Co in the order of several 100 µF and ESR in range of 10 mΩ. These values make f0 in the order of 100 kHz or less and the loop is stable. However, ceramic capacitors have f0 at more than 700 kHz, which is not suitable for this operational mode. Although D-CAP™ Mode provides many advantages such as ease-of-use, minimum external component configuration, and extremely short response time, due to not employing an error amplifier in the loop, a sufficient feedback signal needs to be provided by an external circuit to reduce the jitter level. The required signal level is approximately 15 mV at the comparing point. This generates Vripple = (VOUT/0.75) × 15 mV at the output node. The output capacitor ESR should meet this requirement. The external component selection is simple in D-CAP™ Mode: 1. Determine the value of R1 and R2 The recommended R2 value is 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. Calculate R1 by Equation 7. R1 VOUT 0.75 2. Choose RTON 16 0.75 R2 (7) TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Switching frequency is usually determined by the overall view of the DC-DC converter design of: size, efficiency or cost, and mostly dictated by external component constraints such as the size of inductor and/or output capacitor. In the case where an extremely low or high duty factor is expected, the minimum on-time or off-time also needs to be considered to satisfy the required duty factor. Once the switching frequency is decided, RTON can be determined by Equation 8 and Equation 9, V OUT T 1 ON(max) ƒ V IN(min) (8) R 3 TON 2 T ON(max) 50 ns 19 10 12 V IN(min) VOUT 150 mV [] (9) 3. Choose inductor A good starting point inductance value is where the ripple current is approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of the maximum output current. L IND 1 I IND(ripple) ƒ VIN(max) VOUT VOUT V IN(max) 3 I OUT(max) ƒ VIN(max) VOUT VOUT V IN(max) (10) For applications that require fast transient response with minimum VOUT overshoot, consider a smaller inductance than above. The cost of a small inductance value is higher steady state ripple, larger line regulation, and higher switching loss. The inductor also needs to have low DCR to achieve good efficiency, as well as enough room above peak inductor current before saturation. The peak inductor current can be estimated as follows. V I TRIP 1 IND(peak) R Lƒ DS(on) VIN(max) VOUT VOUT V IN(max) (11) 4. Choose output capacitor(s) Organic semiconductor capacitor(s) or specialty polymer capacitor(s) are recommended. Determine ESR to meet the required ripple voltage above. A quick approximation is shown in Equation 12. V 0.015 V OUT 60 [m] ESR OUT I 0.75 I ripple OUT(max) (12) 5. Choose MOSFETs Loss-less current sensing and overcurrent protection of the TPS51117 is determined by RDS(on) of the low-side MOSFET. So, RDS(on) times the inductor current value at the overcurrent point should be in the range of 30 mV to 200 mV for the entire operational temperature range. Assuming a 20% guard band, RDS(on) in the following equation should satisfy the full temperature range. 30 mV 200 mV R DS(on) 1.2 I 0.5 I 1.2 I 0.5 I OUT(max) ripple OUT(max) ripple (13) 6. Choose Rtrip Once the low-side FET is decided, select an appropriate Rtrip value that provides Vtrip equal to RDS(on) times Ipeak. 7. LPF for V5FILT In order to reject high frequency noise and also secure safe start-up of the internal reference circuit, apply 1 µF of MLCC closely at the V5FILT pin with a 300-Ω resistor to create a LPF between +5-V supply and the pin. 8. VBST capacitor, VBST diode 17 TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Apply 0.1-µF MLCC between VBST and the LL node as the flying capacitor for the high-side FET driver. The TPS51117 has its own boost diode on-board between V5DRV and VBST. This is a PN junction diode and strong enough for most typical applications. However, in case efficiency has priority over cost, the designer may add a Schottky diode externally to improve gate drive voltage of the high-side FET. A Schottky diode has a higher leakage current, especially at high temperature, than a PN junction diode. A low leakage diode should be selected in order to maintain VBST voltage during low frequency operation in skip mode. THERMAL CONSIDERATION Power dissipation of the TPS51117 is mainly generated from the FET drivers. Average drive current can be estimated by gate charge, Qg, times the switching frequency. I Q g ƒsw G (14) Qg is the charge needed to charge gate capacitance up to the V5DRV voltage of 5 V. Actual values are shown on MOSFET datasheets provided by the manufacturer. Total power dissipation, therefore, to drive the top and bottom MOSFETs can be calculated by the following equation Equation 15. W DRIVE V V5DRV Q g(top) Q g(btm) ƒsw (15) This power plus a small amount of dissipation (less than 5 mW) from controller circuitry needs to be effectively dissipated from the package. Maximum power dissipation allowed for the package is calculated by: T T J(max) A(max) W PKG JA (16) Where • TJ(max) is 125°C • TA(max) is the maximum ambient temperature in the system • θJA is the thermal resistance from the silicon junction to the ambient This thermal resistance strongly depends on board layout. The TPS51117 is assembled in a standard TSSOP package and the heat mainly moves to the board through its leads. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS Certain points must be considered before starting a layout work using the TPS51117. • Connect the RC low-pass filter from 5-V supply to V5FILT, 300 kΩ and 1 µF are recommended. Place the filter capacitor close to the IC, within 12 mm (0.5 inches) if possible. • Connect the overcurrent setting resistors from TRIP to GND close to the IC, right next to the IC, if possible. The trace from TRIP to resistor and resistor to GND should avoid coupling to a high voltage switching node. • The discharge path (VOUT) should have a dedicated trace to the output capacitor(s); separate from the output voltage sensing trace, and use a 1,5 mm (60 mils) or wider trace with no loops. Make sure the feedback current setting resistor (the resistor between VFB to GND) is tied close to the IC GND. The trace from this resistor to the VFB pin should be short and thin. Place on the component side and avoid vias between this resistor and the IC. • Connections from the drivers to the respective gate of the high-side or the low-side MOSFET should be as short as possible to reduce stray inductance. Use a 0.65 mm (25 mils) or wider trace. • All sensitive analog traces and components such as VOUT, VFB, GND, EN_PSV, PGOOD, TRIP, V5FILT, and TON should be placed away from high-voltage switching nodes such as LL, DRVL, DRVH or VBST to avoid coupling. Use internal layer(s) as ground plane(s) and shield feedback trace from power traces and components. • Gather the ground terminals of the VIN capacitor(s), VOUT capacitor(s), and the source of the low-side MOSFETs as close as possible. GND (signal ground) and PGND (power ground) should be connected strongly together near the IC. The PCB trace defined as LL node, which connects to the source of the high-side MOSFET, the drain of the low-side MOSFET, and the high-voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible. 18 TPS51117 www.ti.com SLVS631 – DECEMBER 2005 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) +5V + TPS51117PW EN_PSV + +VBAT C4 0.1 mF 1 EN_PSV VBST 14 2 TON DRVH 13 3 VOUT LL 12 4 V5FILT TRIP 11 5 VFB V5DRV 10 6 PGOOD DRVL 9 7 GND PGND 8 Q1 R3 C2 20 m F 249k W R5 R6 100kW 300 W C3 1u F PGOOD L1 1.0uH + R4 R1 8.5k W GND Q2 C1A VO 1.05V/10A C1B R2 22k W - PGND GND Figure 23. 1.05-V/10-A Application From VBAT Table 1.
