The TPS5615 family of synchronous-buck regulator controllers provides an accurate supply voltage to DSPs.
The output voltage is internally set by a resistive divider with an accuracy of 1% over the full operating
temperature range. A hysteretic controller with user-selectable hysteresis is used to dramatically reduce
overshoot and undershoot caused by load transients. Propagation delay from the comparator inputs to the
output drivers is less than 250 ns. Overcurrent shutdown and crossover protection for the output drivers
combine to eliminate destructive faults in the output FETs. PWRGD monitors the output voltage and pulls the
open-collector output low when the output drops below 93% of the nominal output voltage. An overvoltage circuit
disables the output drivers if the output voltage rises 15% above the nominal value. The inhibit pin can be used
to control power sequencing. Inhibit and undervoltage lockout assures that the 12-V supply voltage and system
supply voltage (5 V or 3.3 V) are within proper operating limits before the controller starts. The output driver
circuits include 2-A drivers with internal 8-V gate-voltage regulators that can easily provide sufficient power for
today’s high-powered DSPs. The high-side driver can be configured either as a ground-referenced driver or as
a floating bootstrap driver. The TPS5615 family is available in a 28-pin TSSOP PowerPad package. It operates
over a junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C.

detailed description
Vref
The reference voltage section consists of a temperature-compensated bandgap reference and a resistive
divider that sets the output voltage option. The output voltage, VREF, is within 1% of the nominal setting over
the full junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C, and a VCC supply voltage range of 11.4 V to 12.6 V. The
output of the reference network is indirectly brought out through a buffer to the VREFB pin. The voltage on this
pin will be within 2% of VREF. It is not recommended to drive loads with VREFB, other than setting the hysteresis
of the hysteretic comparator, because the current drawn from VREFB sets the charging current for the slowstart
capacitor. Refer to the slowstart section for additional information.
hysteretic comparator
The hysteretic comparator regulates the output voltage of the synchronous-buck converter. The hysteresis is
set by 2 external resistors and is centered on VREF. The 2 external resistors form a resistor divider from VREFB
to ANAGND, with the output voltage connecting to the VHYST pin. The hysteresis of the propagation delay from
the comparator inputs to the driver outputs is 250 ns (maximum). The maximum hysteresis setting is 60 mV.

low-side driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive low-Rds(on) n-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is 2
A, source or sink. The bias to the low-side driver is internally connected to the DRV regulator.
high-side driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive low-Rds(on) n-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is 2
A, source or sink. The high-side driver can be configured either as a ground-referenced driver or as a floating
bootstrap driver. When configured as a floating driver, the bias voltage to the driver is developed from the DRV
regulator. The internal bootstrap diode, connected between the DRV and BOOT pins, is a Schottky for improved
drive efficiency. The maximum voltage that can be applied between BOOT and DRVGND is 30 V. The driver
can be referenced to ground by connecting BOOTLO to DRVGND, and connecting BOOT to either DRV or VCC.
deadtime control
Deadtime control prevents shoot-through current from flowing through the main power FETs during switching
transitions by actively controlling the turn-on times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver is not allowed
to turn on until the gate-drive voltage to the low-side FET is below 2 V; the low-side driver is not allowed to turn
on until the voltage at the junction of the 2 FETs (Vphase) is below 2 V.

current sensing
Current sensing is achieved by sampling and holding the voltage across the high-side power FET while the
high-side FET is on. The sampling network consists of an internal 60-Ω switch and an external ceramic hold
capacitor. Recommended value of the hold capacitor is between 0.033 µF and 0.1 µF. The actual value should
give a time constant (60 Ω × CH ) greater than the FET on time. Internal logic controls the turn-on and turn-off
of the sample/hold switch such that the switch does not turn on until the Vphase voltage transitions high, and
the switch turns off when the input to the high-side driver goes low. Thus sampling will occur only when the high
side FET is conducting current. The voltage on the IOUT pin equals 2 times the sensed high-side voltage. In
applications where a higher accuracy in current-sensing is required, a sense resistor can be placed in series
with the high-side FET and the voltage across the sense resistor can be sampled by the current sensing circuit.
See Figures 2 and 3.
overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection (OCP) circuit monitors the current through the high-side FET. The overcurrent
threshold is adjustable with an external resistor divider between IOUT and ANAGND, with the divider voltage
connected to OCP. If the voltage on OCP (VS ) exceeds 100 mV, then a fault latch is set and the output drivers
are turned off. The latch will remain set until VCC goes below the undervoltage lockout value. A 3-µs deglitch
timer is included for noise immunity. The OCP circuit is also designed to protect the high-side power FET against
a short-to-ground fault on the terminal common to both power FETs (Vphase).

inhibit
INHIBIT is a TTL-compatible digital input used to enable the controller. When INHIBIT is low, the output drivers
are low and the slowstart capacitor is discharged. When INHIBIT goes high, the short across the slowstart
capacitor is released and normal converter operation begins. When the system-logic supply is connected to
INHIBIT, it also controls power sequencing by locking out controller operation until the system-logic supply
exceeds the input threshold voltage of the inhibit circuit. Thus the 12-V supply and the system-logic supply
(either 5 V or 3.3 V) must be above UVLO thresholds before the controller is allowed to start up. The INHIBIT
comparator start threshold is 2.1 V and the hysteresis is 100 mV.

VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
The undervoltage lockout circuit disables the controller while the VCC supply is below the 10-V start threshold
during power-up. While the controller is disabled, the output drivers will be low and the slowstart capacitor will
be shorted. When VCC exceeds the start threshold, the short across the slowstart capacitor is released and
normal converter operation begins. There is a 2-V hysteresis in the undervoltage lockout circuit for noise
immunity.
slowstart
The slowstart circuit controls the rate at which VO powers up. A capacitor is connected between SLOWSST and
ANAGND and is charged by an internal current source. The slowstart charging current is determined by the
following equation:
I
SLOWSTART
+ I(VREFB)
5
where I(VREFB) is the current flowing out of VREFB. It is recommended that no additional loads be connected
to VREFB, other than the resistor divider for setting the hysteresis voltage. The maximum current that can be
sourced by the VREFB circuit is 500 µA. The slowstart time is set by:

where RVREFB is the total external resistance from VREFB to ANAGND.
power good
The power good circuit monitors for an undervoltage condition on VO. If VO is 7% below VREF, then PWRGD
is pulled low. PWRGD is an open-drain output.
overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit monitors VO for an overvoltage condition. If VO is 15% above VREF,
then a fault latch is set and both output drivers are turned off. The latch will remain set until VCC goes below the
undervoltage lockout value. A 3-µs deglitch timer is included for noise immunity. Refer to the LODRV section
for information on how to protect the load against overvoltages due to a shorted fault across the high-side power
FET.

drive regulator
The drive regulator provides drive voltage to the output drivers. The minimum drive voltage is 7 V. The minimum
short circuit current is 100 mA. Connect a 1-µF ceramic capacitor from DRV to DRVGND.
LODRV
The LODRV circuit is designed to protect the load against overvoltages that occur if the high-side FETs become
shorted. External components to sense an overvoltage condition are required to use this feature. When an
overvoltage fault occurs, LODRV is pulled low and the low-side FET will be turned on, overriding all control
signals inside the TPS56xx controller. The crowbar action will short the system-logic supply to ground through
the faulted high-side FETs and the low-side FETs. A fuse, in series with VIN, should be added to disconnect the
short circuit.

SYNCHRONOUS-BUCK HYSTERETIC REGULATOR CONTROLLER
SLVS177A – SEPTEMBER 1998 – REVISED NOVEMBER 1998
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Synchronous rectifier buck regulator circuits are used where high efficiency and low dropout voltages are required.
The TPS56xx controller is useful in applications with very high transient loads and wide dc load ranges, such as
multiple-DSP applications.
The circuit below will meet a wide variety of applications with maximum continuous-rated output currents of up to 8 A.
Design tradeoffs, such as cost, size, or efficiency may need to be addressed for specific applications. Care should
be taken in the proper layout (see last section of this data sheet for specific layout guidelines), especially in the
higher-current configurations, to ensure that noise and ripple are kept to a minimum. Basic layout considerations are
discussed in the 1996 Power Supply Circuits Databook (Literature no. SLVD002). Design guidelines and equations
are discussed in Synchronous Buck Converter Design Using TPS56xx Controllers in SLVP10x EVMs User’s Guide
(Literature no. SLVU007).

layout guidelines
Good power supply results will only occur when care is given to proper design and layout. Layout will affect noise
pickup and generation and can cause a good design to perform with less than expected results. With a range
of currents from milliamps to tens or even hundreds of amps, good power supply layout is much more difficult
than most general PCB design. The general design should proceed from the switching node to the output, then
back to the driver section and, finally, place the low-level components. Below are several specific points to
consider before layout of a TPS56xx design begins.
1. All sensitive analog components should be referenced to ANAGND. These include components connected
to SLOWST, IOUT, OCP, VSENSE, VREFB, VHYST, BIAS, and LOHIB.
2. Analog ground and drive ground should be isolated as much as possible. Ideally, analog ground will connect
to the ground side of the bulk storage capacitors, on VO, and drive ground will connect to the main ground
plane close to the source of the low-side FET.
3. Connections from the drivers to the gate of the power FETs should be as short and wide as possible to
reduce stray inductance. This becomes more critical if external gate resistors are not being used.
4. The bypass capacitor for the DRV regulator should be placed close to the TPS56xx and be connected to
DRVGND.
5. The bypass capacitor for VCC should be placed close to the TPS56xx and be connected to DRVGND.
6. When configuring the high-side driver as a floating driver, the connection from BOOTLO to the power FETs
should be as short and as wide as possible. The other pins that also connect to the power FETs, LOHIB
and LOSENSE, should have a separate connection to the FETs, since BOOTLO will have large peak
currents flowing through it.
7. When configuring the high-side driver as a floating driver, the bootstrap capacitor (connected from BOOT
to BOOTLO) should be placed close to the TPS56xx.
8. When configuring the high-side driver as a ground referenced driver, BOOTLO should be connected to
DRVGND.
9. The bulk storage capacitors across VI should be placed close to the power FETs. High-frequency bypass
capacitors should be placed in parallel with the bulk capacitors and connected close to the drain of the
high-side FET and close to the source of the low-side FET.
10. High-frequency bypass capacitors should be placed across the bulk storage capacitors on VO.
11. HISENSE and LOSENSE should be connected very close to the drain and source, respectively, of the
high-side FET. HISENSE and LOSENSE should be routed very close to each other to minimize
differential-mode noise coupling to these traces.
