DESCRIPTION
The TPS6303x devices provide a power supply
solution for products powered by either a two-cell or
three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery, or a
one-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Output currents
can go as high as 600 mA while using a single-cell
Li-Ion or Li-Polymer Battery, and discharge it down to
2.5V or lower. The buck-boost converter is based on
a fixed frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM)
controller using synchronous rectification to obtain
maximum efficiency. At low load currents, the
converter enters Power Save mode to maintain high
efficiency over a wide load current range. The Power
Save mode can be disabled, forcing the converter to
operate at a fixed switching frequency. The maximum
average current in the switches is limited to a typical
value of 1000 mA. The output voltage is
programmable using an external resistor divider, or is
fixed internally on the chip. The converter can be
disabled to minimize battery drain. During shutdown,
the load is disconnected from the battery. The device
is packaged in a 10-pin QFN PowerPAD™ package
measuring 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm (DSK).

is regulated by a fast current regulator loop which is controlled by a voltage control loop. The controller also uses
input and output voltage feedforward. Changes of input and output voltage are monitored and immediately can
change the duty cycle in the modulator to achieve a fast response to those errors. The voltage error amplifier
gets its feedback input from the FB pin. At adjustable output voltages a resistive voltage divider must be
connected to that pin. At fixed output voltages FB must be connected to the output voltage to directly sense the
voltage. Fixed output voltage versions use a trimmed internal resistive divider. The feedback voltage will be
compared with the internal reference voltage to generate a stable and accurate output voltage.
The controller circuit also senses the average input current as well as the peak input current. With this, maximum
input power can be controlled as well as the maximum peak current to achieve a safe and stable operation under
all possible conditions. To finally protect the device from overheating, an internal temperature sensor is
implemented.
Synchronous Operation
The device uses 4 internal N-channel MOSFETs to maintain synchronous power conversion at all possible
operating conditions. This enables the device to keep high efficiency over a wide input voltage and output power
range.
To avoid ground shift problems due to the high currents in the switches, two separate ground pins GND and
PGND are used. The reference for all control functions is the GND pin. The power switches are connected to
PGND. Both grounds must be connected on the PCB at only one point ideally close to the GND pin. Due to the
4-switch topology, the load is always disconnected from the input during shutdown of the converter.
Buck-Boost Operation
To be able to regulate the output voltage properly at all possible input voltage conditions, the device
automatically switches from step down operation to boost operation and back as required by the configuration. It
always uses one active switch, one rectifying switch, one switch permanently on, and one switch permanently off.
Therefore, it operates as a step down converter (buck) when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage,
and as a boost converter when the input voltage is lower than the output voltage. There is no mode of operation
in which all 4 switches are permanently switching. Controlling the switches this way allows the converter to
maintain high efficiency at the most important point of operation; when input voltage is close to the output
voltage. The RMS current through the switches and the inductor is kept at a minimum, to minimize switching and
conduction losses. Switching losses are also kept low by using only one active and one passive switch.
Regarding the remaining 2 switches, one is kept permanently on and the other is kept permanently off, thus
causing no switching losses.
Power Save Mode and Synchronization
The PS/SYNC pin can be used to select different operation modes. To enable power save, PS/SYNC must be
set low. Power save mode is used to improve efficiency at light load. If power save mode is enabled, the
converter stops operating if the average inductor current gets lower than about 100 mA and the output voltage is
at or above its nominal value. If the output voltage decreases below its nominal value, the device ramps up the
output voltage again by starting operation using a programmed average inductor current higher than required by
the current load condition. Operation can last for one or several pulses. The converter again stops operating
once the conditions for stopping operation are met again.
The power save mode can be disabled by programming high at the PS/SYNC. Connecting a clock signal at
PS/SYNC forces the device to synchronize to the connected clock frequency. Synchronization is done by a PLL,
so synchronizing to lower and higher frequencies compared to the internal clock works without any issues. The
PLL can also tolerate missing clock pulses without the converter malfunctioning. The PS/SYNC input supports
standard logic thresholds.

Device Enable
The device is put into operation when EN is set high. It is put into a shutdown mode when EN is set to GND. In
shutdown mode, the regulator stops switching, all internal control circuitry is switched off, and the load is
disconnected from the input. This also means that the output voltage can drop below the input voltage during
shutdown. During start-up of the converter, the duty cycle and the peak current are limited in order to avoid high
peak currents flowing from the input.
Softstart and Short Circuit Protection
After being enabled, the device starts operating. The average current limit ramps up from an initial 400mA
following the output voltage increasing. At an output voltage of about 1.2 V, the current limit is at its nominal
value. If the output voltage does not increase, the current limit will not increase. There is no timer implemented.
Thus the output voltage overshoot at startup, as well as the inrush current, is kept at a minimum. The device
ramps up the output voltage in a controlled manner even if a very large capacitor is connected at the output.
When the output voltage does not increase above 1.2 V, the device assumes a short circuit at the output and
keeps the current limit low to protect itself and the application. At a short at the output during operation the
current limit also will be decreased accordingly. At 0 V at the output, for example, the output current will not
exceed about 400 mA.
Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout function prevents device start-up if the supply voltage on VINA is lower than
approximately its threshold (see electrical characteristics table). When in operation, the device automatically
enters the shutdown mode if the voltage on VINA drops below the undervoltage lockout threshold. The device
automatically restarts if the input voltage recovers to the minimum operating input voltage.
Overtemperature Protection
The device has a built-in temperature sensor which monitors the internal IC temperature. If the temperature
exceeds the programmed threshold (see electrical characteristics table) the device stops operating. As soon as
the IC temperature has decreased below the programmed threshold, it starts operating again. There is a built-in
hysteresis to avoid unstable operation at IC temperatures at the overtemperature threshold.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DESIGN PROCEDURE
The TPS6303x dc/dc converters are intended for systems powered by one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery with a
typical voltage between 2.3 V and 4.5 V. They can also be used in systems powered by a double or triple cell
Alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH battery with a typical terminal voltage between 1.8 V and 5.5 V . Additionally, any other
voltage source with a typical output voltage between 1.8 V and 5.5 V can power systems where the TPS6303x is
used.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Within the TPS6303X family there are fixed and adjustable output voltage versions available. To properly
configure the fixed output voltage devices, the FB pin is used to sense the output voltage. This means that it
must be connected directly to VOUT. At the adjustable output voltage versions, an external resistor divider is
used to adjust the output voltage. The resistor divider must be connected between VOUT, FB and GND. When
the output voltage is regulated properly, the typical value of the voltage at the FB pin is 500mV. The maximum
recommended value for the output voltage is 5.5V. The current through the resistive divider should be about 100
times greater than the current into the FB pin. The typical current into the FB pin is 0.01 µA, and the voltage
across the resistor between FB and GND, R2, is typically 500 mV. Based on those two values, the recommended
value for R2 should be lower than 500kΩ, in order to set the divider current at 1µA or higher. It is recommended
to keep the value for this resistor in the range of 200kΩ. From that, the value of the resistor connected between
VOUT and FB, R1, depending on the needed output voltage (VOUT), can be calculated using Equation 1:

INDUCTOR SELECTION
To properly configure the TPS6303X devices, an inductor must be connected between pin L1 and pin L2. To
estimate the inductance value Equation 2 and Equation 3 can be used.

In Equation 2 the minimum inductance value, L1 for step down mode operation is calculated. VIN1 is the
maximum input voltage. In Equation 3 the minimum inductance, L2, for boost mode operation is calculated. The
recommended minimum inductor value is either L1 or L2 whichever is higher. As an example, a suitable inductor
for generating 3.3V from a Li-Ion battery with a battery voltage range from 2.5V up to 4.2V is 2.2 µH. The
recommended inductor value range is between 1.5 µH and 4.7 µH. In general, this means that at high voltage
conversion rates, higher inductor values offer better performance.

With the chosen inductance value, the peak current for the inductor in steady state operation can be calculated.

In both equations f is the minimum switching frequency. VIN2 is the minimum input voltage. The critical current
value for selecting the right inductor is the higher value of I1 and I2. It also needs to be taken into account that
load transients and error conditions may cause higher inductor currents. This also needs to be taken into account
when selecting an appropriate inductor. The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used
with TPS6303x converters:

CAPACITOR SELECTION
Input Capacitor
At least a 4.7 µF input capacitor is recommended to improve transient behavior of the regulator and EMI
behavior of the total power supply circuit. A ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VIN and PGND
pins of the IC is recommended.
Bypass Capacitor
To make sure that the internal control circuits are supplied with a stable low noise supply voltage, a capacitor can
be connected between VINA and GND. Using a ceramic capacitor with a value of 0.1µF is recommended. The
value of this capacitor should not be higher than 0.22µF.
Output Capacitor
For the output capacitor, it is recommended to use small ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the
VOUT and PGND pins of the IC. If, for any reason, the application requires the use of large capacitors which can
not be placed close to the IC, using a smaller ceramic capacitor in parallel to the large one is recommended.
This small capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VOUT and PGND pins of the IC.
To get an estimate of the recommended minimum output capacitance, Equation 6 can be used.
mF
C OUT + 5 L
mH
(6)
A capacitor with a value in the range of the calculated minimum should be used. This is required to maintain
control loop stability. There are no additional requirements regarding minimum ESR. There is also no upper limit
for the output capacitance value. Larger capacitors will cause lower output voltage ripple as well as lower output
voltage drop during load transients.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents
and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show stability problems as
well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the power ground
tracks. The input capacitor, output capacitor, and the inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
Use a common ground node for power ground and a different one for control ground to minimize the effects of
ground noise. Connect these ground nodes at any place close to one of the ground pins of the IC.
The feedback divider should be placed as close as possible to the control ground pin of the IC. To lay out the
control ground, it is recommended to use short traces as well, separated from the power ground traces. This
avoids ground shift problems, which can occur due to superimposition of power ground current and control
ground current.
THERMAL INFORMATION
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the
power-dissipation limits of a given component.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below.
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB by soldering the PowerPAD
• Introducing airflow in the system
For more details on how to use the thermal parameters in the dissipation ratings table please check the Thermal
Characteristics Application Note (SZZA017) and the IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Note (SPRA953).
