DESCRIPTION
The TPS51511 is a 350-kHz D-CAP-mode
synchronous switcher with a 2-A, source-only low
drop-out (LDO) regulator. It is specifically designed
for low cost/low noise/low external-component count
power systems for GPU applications. The integrated
'OD' switch in the buck controller supports dynamic
output voltage change. The current mode option of
the synchronous buck converter can support pure
output
ceramic-capacitor
applications.
The
open-drain LDO power-good signal can be accessed
through the OD pin when it is needed in the
application. The TPS51511 is available in the
thermally-enhanced 20-pin QFN package, and is
specified from –40°C to 85°C.

I
Feedback pin of the LDO. A voltage divider sets the LDO output voltage.
GND
5
–
Signal ground. Connect to negative terminal of the LDO output capacitor.
ODOFF
6
I
A comparator input. When this pin is tied to VLDOFB, OD acts as a PGOOD signal for the LDO. When
connected to external logic, OD acts like a switch. See Table 1 for detailed information.
OD
7
I/O
The output of the multifuntional open-drain switch.
COMP
8
I/O
Output of the transconductance amplifier for phase compensation in current mode. Connect to V5IN to disable
Gm amplifier and enable D-CAP mode.
VOSW
9
I/O
Switcher output voltage monitor. Input for on-time one-shot timer and advanced PGOOD masking comparator.
VSWFB
10
I
Feedback pin of the switcher. A voltage divider connected to this pin sets the switcher output voltage. A resistor
connected between this pin and OD pin can be inserted in parallel with the low-side resistor of the voltage
divider, according to the ODOFF input, to establish the dynamic voltage step. This terminal is also the input for
the OVP, UVP and PGOOD comparators.
ENLDO
11
I
LDO-enable signal input.
ENSW
12
I
Switcher-enable signal input.
PGOOD
13
O
Power-good signal open-drain output. Pulled low when VSWFB voltage falls outside the target window
comparator. The upper side of the window comparator will be masked if the VOSW volttage is lower than 1.36 V
(typ.). Refer to the Advance PGOOD Mask section for details.
V5IN
14
I
5V Power supply input. This 5 V supplies internal control circuitry, LDO pass FET gate drive, VDRVH and
VDRVL gate drivers.
CS
15
I/O
Current-sense comparator input (–) for resistor current-sense mode. If connected to 5VIN through a
voltage-setting resistor, constant current sinks through this pin to set the OCL point for the RDS(ON)
current-sense mode.

SLVS735A – FEBRUARY 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2007
DESCRIPTION
TPS51511 is an integrated power-management solution that combines a synchronous buck controller and a
high-current, source-only, low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) in a small 20-pin QFN package. Each output
provides voltages required by typical graphic-system applications. The switching-mode power supply portion
employs external N-channel MOSFETs to provide high current for a GPU core. The output voltage is adjustable
from 0.75 to 3.3 V with an external divider. The input voltage range of the switcher is 3 V to 28 V. The switcher
uses adaptive on-time PWM under heavy load conditions, and automatically reduces the frequency under light
loads to achieve excellent efficiency down to several mA. The output of the switcher is sensed by the VOSW pin
to generate the on-time pulse, with the voltage of VIN sensed by LL pin. The current sensing uses either the
RDS(ON) of the external rectifying MOSFET for a low-cost, lossless solution, or a sense resistor placed in series to
the rectifying MOSFET for applications needing a more accurate current limit.
The LDO can source up to 2 A DC current with only 20 µF (two 10 µF in parallel) ceramic output capacitors.
VOSW Switcher, Dual PWM Operation Modes
The main control loop of the switcher is designed as an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM)
controller. It supports two control schemes; a current mode and a proprietary D-CAP mode. D-CAP mode does
not require an external compensation circuit, and is suitable for low external component count configurations
using output capacitor(s) with an appropriate ESR value. Current-mode control has more flexibility, using an
external compensation network, and can be used to achieve stable operation with very low-ESR capacitors such
as ceramic capacitors.
These control modes are selected by the COMP terminal connection. If the COMP pin is connected to V5IN, the
TPS51511 is in D-CAP Mode. If the COMP pin is connected to the RC compensation network, the device
operates in current mode.
At the beginning of each cycle, the synchronous top MOSFET is turned on (ON state). This MOSFET is turned
off (OFF state) after the internal one-shot timer expires. The on-time issued by this one-shot is proportional to
the ratio of VOUT to VIN. In this way, the switching frequency can be kept reasonably constant over the
input-voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control (see PWM frequency and Adaptive On-time
Control). The MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback information indicates insufficient output voltage
and the inductor current is below the overcurrent limit. By repeating operation in this manner, the controller
regulates the output voltage. The synchronous bottom, or the rectifying MOSFET, is turned on during each OFF
state to minimize conduction loss. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when the inductor current indicates zero
voltage level. This enables seamless transition to the reduced frequency operation under light load conditions so
that the high efficiency is maintained over the broad range of load currents.
In the current-mode control scheme, the transconductance amplifier generates a target current level
corresponding to the voltage difference between the feedback point and the internal 750-mV reference. During
the OFF state, the PWM comparator monitors the inductor-current signal as well as the target current level, and
when the inductor-current signal goes lower than the target current level, the comparator asserts the SET signal,
switching the system to the ON state. The voltage-feedback gain is adjustable outside the controller IC to
support various types of output MOSFETs and capacitors. In the D-CAP Mode, the transconductance amplifier is
disabled and the PWM comparator directly compares the feedback-point voltage to the internal 750-mV
reference during the OFF state. When the feedback point becomes lower than the reference voltage, the
comparator asserts the SET signal, triggering the ON state.

SLVS735A – FEBRUARY 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2007
VOSW Switcher, Light Load Condition
TPS51511 automatically reduces the switching frequency under light load conditions to maintain high efficiency.
This frequency reduction is achieved smoothly and without increasing the VOUT ripple or affecting the load
regulation.
As the output current decreases from a heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually
comes to the point that its ripple-valley value decreases down to zero current, which is the boundary between
continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET will be turned off when this
zero inductor current is detected. As the load current decreases further, the converter runs in
discontinuous-conduction mode, and takes longer to discharge the output capacitor to the level that will issue
the next ON cycle. The ON time is kept the same as that in the heavy load condition. Conversely, when the
output current increases from a light load to a heavy load, the switching frequency increases to the constant 350
kHz as the inductor current reaches continuous conduction. The transition point between light and heavy-load
operation IOUT(LL) (i.e., the threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode) can be calculated
as follows;
ǒV IN * V OUTǓ V OUT
1
I OUT(LL) +
2 L ƒ
V IN
(1)
Where f is the PWM switching frequency, 350 kHz.
The switching frequency versus the output current in the light load condition is a function of L, f, VIN and VOUT,
but it decreases almost proportionally to the output current from the IOUT(LL) given above. For example, it will be
35 kHz at IOUT(LL)/10 and 3.5 kHz at IOUT(LL)/100.
Low-Side Driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive high current low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs. The drive capability is
represented by its internal resistance, 3 Ω for V5IN to DRVL, and 0.9 Ω for DRVL to PGND. A dead time to
prevent shoot-through is internally generated between the top MOSFET off to bottom MOSFET on, and bottom
MOSFET off to top MOSFET on. The 5-V bias voltage is delivered from V5IN supply.
The instantaneous drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between V5IN and GND. Add a
ceramic capacitor with a value between 1.0 µF and 4.7 µF placed close to the V5IN pin to stabilize the 5-V
output from any parasitic impedance from the supply. The average drive current is equal to the gate charge at
VGS=5 V condition, times the switching frequency. This gate-drive current as well as the high-side gate-drive
current times 5 V accounts for the power that must be dissipated from the TPS51511 package.
High-Side Driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive high-current, low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET(s). It is configured as a
floating driver, with the 5-V bias voltage delivered from the V5IN supply. The average drive current is also
calculated by the gate charge at VGS=5 V condition, times switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current
is supplied by the flying capacitor between VBST and LL pins. The drive capability is represented by its internal
resistance, 3 Ω for VBST to DRVH, and 0.9 Ω for DRVH to LL.
Current Sensing Scheme
To support both high-accuracy and low-cost current sensing applications, TPS51511 supports two different
current sensing schemes; external-resistor sensing, and rectifying-MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing.
In the resistor-sensing scheme, an appropriate current-sensing resistor is connected between the source
terminal of the rectifying MOSFET and PGND, and the CS pin is connected to the rectifying MOSFET source
terminal node. The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between PGND pin and CS pin.
In the RDS(ON)-sensing scheme, the CS pin is connected to the V5IN pin through the trip-voltage setting resistor
RTRIP. In this case, the CS terminal sinks the 10-µA ITRIP current, and the trip level is set to the voltage across
RTRIP. The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between the PGND pin and the LL pin, so the LL pin is
connected to the drain terminal of the rectifying MOSFET. ITRIP has a 4500-ppm/°C temperature slope to
compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(ON).
In either scheme, PGND is used as the positive current-sensing node, so PGND must be connected to the
proper current-sensing device, i.e., the sense resistor or the source terminal of the rectifying MOSFET.

PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS51511 employs an adaptive on-time control scheme, and does not have a dedicated oscillator on board.
However, the device runs with a fixed 350kHz pseudo-constant frequency by feed-forwarding the input and
output voltage into the on-time one-shot timer. The on-time is inversely proportional to the input voltage and
proportional to the output voltage so that the duty-cycle ratio is kept the same as VOUT/VIN in the same cycle
time. Although the TPS51511 does not have a pin connected to VIN, the input voltage is monitored at the LL pin
during the ON state. This reduces the pin count in order to make the part compact without sacrificing its
performance. In order to secure minimum ON time during startup, the feed-forward feature from the output
voltage is enabled after the output voltage becomes 750 mV or higher.
Soft-Start and Powergood (PGOOD)
The soft-start function of the switcher is achieved by ramping up the reference voltage and a two-stage current
clamp. At the starting point, the reference voltage is set to 650 mV (87% of its target value), and the overcurrent
threshold is set to half of the nominal value. When the UVP comparator detects an VOSW voltage greater than
80% of the target, the reference begins to ramp up and reaches 750 mV after 85 µs. 45 µs after the voltage
becomes good, the power-good comparator releases the overcurrent threshold to the nominal value. TPS51511
turns off the power-good open-drain MOSFET when VOSW reaches the good state.
The soft-start function of the LDO is achieved by clamping the current during startup. The threshold of the
current limit is set to 2.5 A (typical). TPS51511 has an independent window comparator for each output, but the
PGOOD signal indicates only the status of VOSW. If a separate powergood signal is needed for the LDO, see
OD and ODOFF for configuration details.
The soft-start durations, TVOSW, TVLDO are functions of output capacitances.

In both equations, no load current during startup is assumed. Note that both the switcher and the LDO do not
start up to target voltage with full load conditions.
Enable and Discharge
Both the switcher and LDO can be enabled by bringing the voltage on the ENSW and ENLDO pins above 2.2 V,
and disabled by pulling the voltage of ENSW and ENLDO down to 0.3 V. Both the switcher and LDO have
output-discharge feature. The output is discharged through an internal MOSFET when the channel is disabled.
Discharge continues until the output voltage is discharged below 0.3 V. In UVP or OVP conditions of the
switching power supply, the device is latched off and the discharge is enabled until the output voltage drops
below 0.3 V.

SLVS735A – FEBRUARY 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2007
Current Protection for VOSW
The switcher has cycle-by-cycle current-limit control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF state, and
the controller keeps the OFF state while the inductor current is larger than the overcurrent trip level. The trip
level and current-sense scheme are determined by the CS pin connection (see Current Sensing Scheme). In the
resistor sensing scheme, the trip level, VTRIP, is a fixed value of 60 mV. In the RDS(ON) sensing scheme, the CS
terminal sinks 10 µA and the trip level is set to the voltage across the RTRIP resistor.
V TRIP(mV) + RTRIP(kW) 10(mA)
(4)
Because the comparison is done during the OFF state, VTRIP sets the valley level of the inductor current. Thus,
the load current at the overcurrent threshold, Iocp, can be calculated as follows;
( V - VOUT ) ´ VOUT
VTRIP
I
VTRIP
1
IOCP =
+ RIPPLE =
+
´ IN
RDS( ON)
2
RDS( ON) 2 ´ L ´ f
VIN
(5)
In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor, thus the output
voltage tends to fall. If the output voltage becomes less than power-good level, the VTRIP level is cut in half, and
the output voltage tends to be even lower. Eventually, it will end up crossing the undervoltage-protection
threshold and be shut down.
Over/Under Voltage Protection for VOSW
The TPS51511 monitors the feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. When the
feedback voltage becomes higher than 115% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high, and
the circuit latches the top MOSFET driver OFF and the bottom MOSFET driver ON. The TPS51511 also
monitors the VOSW voltage directly, and if it becomes greater than 4 V, TPS51511 turns off the top MOSFET
driver. When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target voltage, the UVP-comparator output
goes high, and an internal UVP delay counter starts. After 32 switching cycles, the TPS51511 latches OFF both
top and bottom MOSFETs. This function is enabled after 1007 cycles from switcher startup to ensure proper
startup.
V5IN UVLO Protection
TPS51511 has V5IN under voltage lock out protection (UVLO). When the V5IN voltage is lower than the UVLO
threshold voltage, the switcher and LDO are shut off. This is a non-latching protection.
LDO Operation
The TPS51511 integrated LDO is a source-only 2- A LDO. It has a typical current limit of 2.5 A . It can be
separately enabled via the ENLDO pin, and the output voltage is set via the external voltage divider. Only a 20
µF ceramic capacitor (2×10µF) is needed for this LDO. The transient response is very fast due to the wide
bandwidth design of the LDO feedback loop.
The LDO has an internally fixed constant overcurrent limit of 2.5 A. This is a trailing current limit with no
shutdown function.
Thermal Shutdown
The TPS51511 monitors its internal temperature. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically
160°C), the switcher and LDO are shut off. This is a non-latching protection, and operation is resumed when the
device is cooled down by approximately 10°C.
Dynamic Voltage Step, OD and ODOFF
OD and ODOFF are multifunction pins. By connecting the OD pin through a resistor to VSWFB, ODOFF is
connected to an external control logic signal which can control OD to switch in and out this resistor in parallel
with the bottom resistor of the voltage divider. This can dynamically change the switcher output voltage during
operation. If the application requires a power-good signal for the LDO rather than switcher dynamic voltage
control, OD and ODOFF can be configured to support the LDO power-good feature by connecting ODOFF to
VLDOFB. In this mode, connect OD through a pullup resistor to the bias voltage (i.e. 5 V, 3.3 V) to act as the
LDO power-good output. The functions of ODOFF and OD pin combinations related to the ENLDO and ENSW
pin voltage levels are shown in Table 1.

Advanced PGOOD Mask
The advanced PGOOD mask feature allows the switcher to dynamically change the output voltage while
maintaining the PGOOD and OVP functions during the transition.
During the dynamic voltage change, if the output voltage is lower than 1.36 V (typ) the high-end PGOOD
comparator and OVP comparator is masked. If the output voltage is set equal to or higher than 1.36 V (typ), the
blanking circuit is disabled, and the high-end PGOOD threshold is set to 110%, and the OVP threshold is set to
115% of the output-voltage setting . When dynamic voltage change is implemented, a 1-nF ceramic capacitor
must be added in parallel with the top resistor of the voltage divider as shown in Figure 27.

as a current source with its transconductance of 1/Rs, and the output capacitor represents the modulator
portion. This simplified model is applicable in the frequency space up to approximately half the switching
frequency. Although the inductance has no influence in the small-signal model, it influences the large-signal
model by limiting the slew rate of the current source. This means that the buck converter’s load-transient
response, one of the large signal behaviors, can be improved by using a smaller inductance without affecting
loop stability.

2. Choose the rectifying (bottom) MOSFET.
When the RDS(ON) sensing scheme is selected, the rectifying MOSFET’s on-resistance is used as this Rs so
that lower RDS(ON) does not always promise better performance. In order to clearly detect inductor current,
minimum Rs recommended is to give 15 mV or larger ripple voltage with the inductor ripple current. This will
provide smooth transitions from CCM to DCM or vice versa. The upper side of the RDS(ON) is of course
restricted by the efficiency requirement, and usually this resistance affects efficiency more at high load
conditions.
When using external-resistor current sensing, there is no restriction for low RDS(ON). However, the current
sensing resistance Rs itself affects the efficiency.
3. Choose the output capacitor(s).

to achieve required ripple value at stable state or transient load conditions will determine the number and
size of capacitor(s) needed, and the resulting capacitance will then be enough to satisfy stable operation.
The peak-to-peak ripple value can be estimated by ESR times the inductor ripple current for stable state, or
ESR times the load-current step for a fast transient-load response.
Ceramic capacitors typically have ESR values small enough to meet the ripple requirement. On the other
hand, transient undershoot and overshoot driven by output capacitance will become the key factor to
determine the capacitance.

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

Because f0 is determined solely by the output capacitor’s characteristics, the loop stability of D-CAP Mode is
determined by the capacitor’s chemistry. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have Co in the
order of several-hundred µF and ESR values in the range of 10 mΩ. These will make f0 approximately 100 kHz
or less, and the loop will be stable. However, ceramic capacitors have f0 at more than 700 kHz, which is not
suitable for this mode.
D-CAP mode provides many advantages such as ease-of-use, minimum external component count and
extremely short response time. However, because it does not employ an error amplifier in the loop, a sufficient
amount of feedback signal must be provided by the external circuit to reduce jitter level. A good layout which
follows the layout considerations in this data sheet also can reduce the jitter level.
Components selection is much simpler in D-CAP mode.
1. Choose inductor.
This section is the same as the current mode. Refer to the instructions in the Current Mode Section.
2. Choose output capacitor(s).
Organic semiconductor capacitor(s) or specialty polymer capacitor(s) are recommended.
Thermal Design
The primary power dissipation of TPS51511 is generated from the LDO. The potential difference between
VLDOIN and VLDO times LDO current gives the power dissipation, WDSRC,
W DSRC + ǒVVLDOIN * VVLDOǓ
I VLDO
(21)
Another power consideration is the current used for internal control circuitry from the V5IN supply. V5IN supports
both the internal circuitry and the external MOSFET drive current.
These powers need to be effectively dissipated from the package. Maximum power dissipation allowed to the
package is calculated by,
T J(max) * T A(max)
V PKG +
q JA
(22)
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 the board layout. TPS51511 is assembled in a thermally enhanced
PowerPAD package that has an exposed die pad underneath the body. For maximum thermal performance, this
die pad must be attached to a ground trace via a thermal land on the PCB. This ground trace acts as a heat
sink. The typical thermal resistance, 53.3°C/W, is achieved based on a 3,05 mm × 2,05 mm thermal land with 6
vias without air flow. It can be improved by using a larger thermal land and/or increasing the number of vias.
Further information about PowerPAD™ and its recommended board layout is described in a Texas Instruments
document, SLMA002. This document is available at www.TI.com.

Layout Considerations
Below are some points to be considered before the layout of TPS51511 design begins.
• The PCB trace defined as LL node, which connects to the source of the switching MOSFET, the drain of the
rectifying MOSFET, and the high voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible.
• Consider adding a small snubber circuit consisting of a 3-Ωresistor and 1-nF capacitor between LL and
PGND if a high frequency surge is observed on the LL voltage waveform.
• V5IN input capacitor, 1 µF - 4.7 µF, should be placed near the V5IN pin, within 0.1" (2,5 mm), if possible.
• All sensitive analog traces such as VOSW, VSWFB,VLDOFB and CS should be placed away from
high-voltage switching nodes such as LL, DRVL or DRVH nodes to avoid coupling.
• An input bypass capacitor should be placed to VLDOIN as close as possible with short and wide connection.
• The output capacitor for VLDO should be placed close to the pin with short and wide connections in order to
avoid additional ESR and/or ESL of the trace.
• In order to effectively remove heat from the package, prepare thermal land and solder to the package’s
thermal pad. Using a wide trace for the component-side copper, connected to this thermal land, will help heat
dissipation. Numerous vias of 0,33 mm diameter connected from the thermal land to the internal/solder-side
ground plane(s) should be used to help dissipation. Do NOT connect PGND to this thermal land underneath
the package.
