The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific
JEDEC-standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Functional Overview
The TPS51317 is a D-CAP+™ mode adaptive on-time converter. Integrated high-side and low-side FET supports
output current to a maximum of 6-ADC. The converter automatically runs in discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM) to optimize light-load efficiency. Multiple switching frequencies are provided to enable optimization of the
power chain for the cost, size and efficiency requirements of the design (see Table 4).
In adaptive on-time converters, the controller varies the on-time as a function of input and output voltage to
maintain a nearly constant frequency during steady-state conditions. In conventional constant on-time converters,
each cycle begins when the output voltage crosses to a fixed reference level. However, in the TPS51317, the
cycle begins when the current feedback reaches an error voltage level which is the amplified difference between
the reference voltage and the feedback voltage.
PWM Operation
Referring to Figure 3, in steady state, continuous conduction mode, the converter operates in the following way.
Starting with the condition that the top FET is off and the bottom FET is on, the current feedback (VCS) is higher
than the error amplifier output (VCOMP). VCS falls until it hits VCOMP, which contains a component of the output
ripple voltage. VCS is not directly accessible by measuring signals on pins of TPS51317. The PWM comparator
senses where the two waveforms cross and triggers the on-time generator.

The current feedback is an amplified and filtered version of the voltage between PGND and SW during low-side
FET on-time. The TPS51317 also provides a single-ended differential voltage (VOUT) feedback to increase the
system accuracy and reduce the dependence of circuit performance on layout.

PWM Frequency and Adaptive on Time Control
In general, the on-time (at the SW node) can be estimated by Equation 1.
V

tON = OUT ´
VIN
fSW
where
•
fSW is the frequency selected by the connection of the MODE pin
(1)
The on-time pulse is sent to the top FET. The inductor current and the current feedback rises to peak value.
Each ON pulse is latched to prevent double pulsing. Switching frequency settings are shown in .
Non-Droop Configuration
The TPS51317 can be configured as a non-droop solution. The benefit of a non-droop approach is that load
regulation is flat, therefore, in a system where tight DC tolerance is desired, the non-droop approach is
recommended. For the Intel system agent application, non-droop is recommended as the standard configuration.
The non-droop approach can be implemented by connecting a resistor and a capacitor between the COMP and
the VREF pins. The purpose of the type II compensation is to obtain high DC feedback gain while minimizing the
phase delay at unity gain cross over frequency of the converter.
The value of the resistor (RC) can be calculated using the desired unity gain bandwidth of the converter, and the
value of the capacitor (CC) can be calculated by knowing where the zero location is desired. An application tool
that calculates these values is available from your local TI Field Application Engineer.
Figure 4 shows the basic implementation of the non-droop mode using the TPS51317.

Droop Configuration
The terminology for droop is the same as load line or voltage positioning as defined in the Intel CPU VCORE
specification. Based on the actual tolerance requirement of the application, load-line set points can be defined to
maximize either cost savings (by reducing output capacitors) or power reduction benefits.
Accurate droop voltage response is provided by the finite gain of the droop amplifier. The equation for droop
voltage is shown in Equation 2.

Light-Load Power Saving Features
The TPS51317 has an automatic pulse-skipping mode to provide excellent efficiency over a wide load range.
The converter senses inductor current and prevents negative flow by shutting off the low-side gate driver. This
saves power by eliminating re-circulation of the inductor current. Further, when the bottom FET shuts off, the
converter enters discontinuous mode, and the switching frequency decreases, thus reducing switching losses as
well.
TPS51317 also provides a special light-load power saving feature, called ripple reduction. Essentially, it reduces
the on-time in SKIP mode to effectively reduce the output voltage ripple associated with using an all MLCC
capacitor output power stage design.
Power Sequences
Non-Tracking Startup
The TPS51317 can be configured for non-tracking application. When non-tracking is configured, output voltage is
regulated to the REFIN voltage which taps off the voltage dividers from the 2VREF. Either the EN pin or the V5IN
pin can be used to start up the device. The TPS51317 uses internal voltage servo DAC to provide a precise
1.6-ms soft-start time during soft-start initialization. (See Figure 11)
Tracking Startup
TPS51317 can also be configured for tracking application. When tracking configuration is desired, output voltage
is also regulated to the REFIN voltage which comes from external power source. In order for TPS51317 to
differentiate between a non-tracking configuration or a tracking configuration, there is a minimum delay time of
260 µs required between the time when the EN pin or the 5VIN pin is validated to the time when the REFIN pin
voltage can be applied, in order for the TPS51317 to track properly (see Figure 12). The valid REFIN voltage
range is between 0.6 V to 2 V.
Protection Features
The TPS51317 offers many features to protect the converter power chain as well as the system electronics.
5-V Undervoltage Protection (UVLO)
The TPS51317 continuously monitors the voltage on the V5IN pin to ensure that the voltage level is high enough
to bias the device properly and to provide sufficient gate drive potential to maintain high efficiency. The converter
starts with approximately 4.3 V and has a nominal of 440 mV of hysteresis. If the 5-V UVLO limit is reached, the
converter transitions the phase node into a off function. And the converter remains in the off state until the device
is reset by cycling 5 V until the 5-V POR is reached (2.3-V nominal). The power input does not have an UVLO
function
Power Good Signals
The TPS51317 has one open-drain power good (PGOOD) pin. During startup, there is a 1-ms power good high
propagation delay. The PGOOD pin de-asserts as soon as the EN pin is pulled low or an undervoltage condition
on V5IN or any other faults that require latch off action is detected.
Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
In addition to the power good function described above, the TPS51317 has additional OVP and UVP thresholds
and protection circuits.
An OVP condition is detected when the output voltage is approximately 120% × VREFIN. In this case, the
converter de-asserts the PGOOD signals and performs the overvoltage protection function. The converter
remains in this state until the device is reset by cycling 5 V until the 5-V POR threshold (2.3 V nominal) is
reached.
Output Undervoltage Protection (UVP)
Output undervoltage protection works in conjunction with the current protection described in the Overcurrent
Protection and Overcurrent Limit sections. If the output voltage drops below 70% of VREFIN, after an 8-µs delay,
the device latches OFF. Undervoltage protection can be reset only by EN or a 5-V POR.

Overcurrent Protection
Both positive and negative overcurrent protection are provided in the TPS51317:
• Overcurrent Limit (OCL)
• Negative OCL (level same as positive OCL)
Overcurrent Limit
If the sensed current value is above the OCL setting, the converter delays the next ON pulse until the current
drops below the OCL limit. Current limiting occurs on a pulse-by-pulse basis. The TPS51317 uses a valley
current limiting scheme where the DC OCL trip point is the OCL limit plus half of the inductor ripple current. The
minimum valley OCL is 6 A over process and temperature.
During the overcurrent protection event, the output voltage likely droops until the UVP limit is reached. Then, the
converter de-asserts the PGOOD pin, and then latches OFF after an 8-µs delay. The converter remains in this
state until the device is reset.

IOCL(dc ) = IOCL(valley ) + ´ IP-P

(4)
Negative OCL
The negative OCL circuit acts when the converter is sinking current from the output capacitor(s). The converter
continues to act in a valley mode, the absolute value of the negative OCL set point is typically -6.5 A.
Thermal Protection
Thermal Shutdown
The TPS51317 has an internal temperature sensor. When the temperature reaches a nominal 145°C, the device
shuts down until the temperature cools by approximately 10°C. Then the converter restarts.

DESIGN PROCEDURE
The simplified design procedure is done for a non-droop application using the TPS51317 converter.
Step One
Determine the specifications.
The Rail requirements provide the following key parameters:
1. VOUT = 1.5 V
2. ICC(max) = 6 A
3. IDYN(max) = 3 A
4. ICC(tdc) = 3 A
Step Two
Determine system parameters.
The input voltage range and operating frequency are of primary interest. For example:
1. VIN = 5 V
2. fSW = 1 MHz
Step Three
Determine inductor value and choose inductor.
Smaller values of inductor have better transient performance but higher ripple and lower efficiency. Higher values
have the opposite characteristics. It is common practice to limit the ripple current to 25% to 50% of the maximum
current. In this case, use 40%:
IP-P = 6 A ´ 0.4 = 2.4 A
(5)
At fSW = 1 MHz, with a 5-V input and a 1.5-V output:

(6)
For this application, a 0.42-µH, 1.55-mΩ inductor from NEC-TOKIN with part number MPCG0740LR42C is
chosen.
Step Four
Set the output voltage.
VVREF
´ RLOWER
VOUT =
RUPPER + RLOWER
(7)
The output voltage is determined by the 2-V reference (VREF) and the resistor dividers (RUPPER and RLOWER).
The output voltage is regulated to the REFIN pin. Because the 2-V reference current capability is limited to less
than 50 µA, care should be taken when selecting the resistor dividers. For the current reference design of 1.5 V
(see application schematics shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, RUPPER = 100 kΩ, RLOWER = 300 kΩ.
Step Five
Calculate OCL.
The DC OCL level of TPS51317 design is determined by Equation 8,

IOCL(dc ) = IOCL(valley ) + ´ IP-P = 6 A + ´ 1.5 A = 6.75 A

The minimum valley OCL is 6 A over process and temperature, and IP-P = 1.5 A, the minimum DC OCL is
calculated to be 6.75A.
Step Six
Determine the output capacitance.
To determine COUT based on transient and stability requirement, first calculate the the minimum output
capacitance for a given transient.
Equation 10 and Equation 9 can be used to estimate the amount of capacitance needed for a given dynamic load
step/release. Please note that there are other factors that may impact the amount of output capacitance for a
specific design, such as ripple and stability. Equation 10 and Equation 9 are used only to estimate the transient
requirement, the result should be used in conjunction with other factors of the design to determine the necessary
output capacitance for the application.

Equation 9 and Equation 10 calculate the minimum COUT for meeting the transient requirement, which is 84 µF
assuming the following:
• ±3% voltage allowance for load step and release
• MLCC capacitance derating of 60% due to DC and AC bias effect
In this reference design, 6, 22-µF capacitors are used in order to provide this amount of capacitance.
Step Seven
Determine the stability based on the output capacitance COUT.
In order to achieve stable operation. The 0-dB frequency, f0 should be kept less than 1/5 of the switching
frequency (1 MHz). (See Figure 4)

(12)
Using 6, 22-µF capacitors, the compensation resistance, RC can be calculated to be approximately 5 kΩ.
The purpose of the comparator capacitor (CC) is to reduce the DC component to obtain high DC feedback gain.
However, as it causes phase delay, another zero to cancel this effect at f0 is needed. This zero can be
determined by values of CC and the compensation resistor, RC.
f

fZ =
2p ´ RC ´ CC 10
(13)
And since RC has previously been derived, the value of CC is calculated to be 2.2 nF. In order to further boost
phase margin, a value of 3.3-nF is chosen for this reference design.

Step Eight
Select decoupling and peripheral components.
For TPS51317 peripheral capacitors use the following minimum values of ceramic capacitance. X5R or better
temperature coefficient is recommended. Tighter tolerances and higher voltage ratings are always appropriate.
• V5IN decoupling ≥ 22 µF, ≥ 10 V
• VREF decoupling 0.22 µF to 1 µF, ≥ 4 V
• Bootstrap capacitors ≥ 0.1 µF, ≥ 10 V
• Pull-up resistors on PGOOD, 100 kΩ
Layout Considerations
Good layout is essential for stable power supply operation. Follow these guidelines for an efficient PCB layout.
• Connect PGND pins (or at least one of the pins) to the thermal PAD underneath the device. Also connect
GND pin to the thermal PAD underneath the device. Use four vias to connect the thermal pad to internal
ground planes.
• Place VIN, V5IN and 2VREF decoupling capacitors as close to the device as possible.
• Use wide traces for the VIN, VOUT, PGND and SW pins. These nodes carry high current and also serve as
heat sinks.
• Place feedback and compensation components as close to the device as possible.
• Keep COMP analog signal away from noisy signals (SW, BST).
