The TPS63700 is an inverting dc-dc converter generating a negative output voltage down to –15 V with
output currents up to 360-mA, depending on input-voltage to output-voltage ratio. With a total efficiency up to 84%, the device is ideal for portable
battery-powered equipment. The input voltage range
of 2.7-V to 5.5-V allows the TPS63700 to be directly
powered from a Li-ion battery, from 3-cell NiMH/NiCd,
from a 3.3-V or 5-V supply rail. The TPS63700 comes
in a small 3-mm x 3-mm SON-10 package. Furthermore, the high switching frequency of typically 1.4
MHz allows the use of small external components.
This, and the small package make a small power
supply solution possible.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated
circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation
procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

SLVS530 – SEPTEMBER 2005
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TPS63700 is a dc-dc converter for negative output voltages using buck-boost topology. It operates with an
input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and generates a negative output voltage down to –15 V. The output is
controlled by a fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) regulator. In normal operation mode, the
converter operates at continuous conduction mode (CCM). At light loads it can enter discontinuous conduction
mode (DCM).
Power Conversion
The converter operates in a fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulated control scheme. So, the on-time of the
switches varies depending on input-to-output voltage ratio and the load. During this on-time, the inductor
connected to the converter is charged with current. In the remaining time, the time period set by the fixed
operating frequency, the inductor discharges into the output capacitor via the rectifier diode. Usually, at higher
loads the inductor current is continuous. During light load, the inductor current of this converter can become
discontinuous. In this case, the control circuit of the controller output automatically takes care of these changing
conditions to always operate with an optimum control setup.
Control
The controller circuit of the converter is based on a fixed-frequency, multiple-feedforward controller topology.
Input voltage, output voltage, and voltage drop across the switch are monitored and forwarded to the regulator.
Changes in the operating conditions of the converter directly affect the duty cycle.
The error amplifier compares the voltage on FB pin with GND to generate an accurate and stable output voltage.
The error amplifier is internally compensated. At light loads, the converter operates in discontinuous conduction
mode (DCM).
If the load will be further decreased, the energy transmitted to the output capacitor can't be absorbed by the load
and would lead to an increase of the output voltage. In this case, the converter limits the output voltage increase
by skipping switch pulses.
Enable
Applying GND signal at the EN pin disables the converter, where all internal circuitry is turned off. The device
now just consumes low shutdown current flowing into the VIN pin. The output load of the converter is also
disconnected from the battery as described in the following paragraph. Pulling the EN pin to VIN enables the
converter. Internal circuitry, necessary to operate the converter, is then turned on.
Load Disconnect
The device supports complete load disconnection when the converter is disabled. The converter turns off the
internal PMOS switch, thus no DC current path remains between load and input voltage source.
Soft Start
The converter has a soft-start function. When the converter is enabled, the implemented switch current limit
ramps up slowly to its nominal value. Soft start is implemented to limit the input current during start-up to avoid
high peak currents at the battery which could interfere with other systems connected to the same battery.
Without soft start, uncontrolled input peak currents flow to charge up the output capacitors and to supply the load
during start-up. This would cause significant voltage drops across the series resistance of the battery and its
connections.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The converter has an implemented output overvoltage protection. The output voltage is limited to –19 V in case
the feedback connection from the output to the FB pin is open.

TPS63700

SLVS530 – SEPTEMBER 2005
DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout prevents the device from starting up and operating if the supply voltage at VIN is lower
than the programmed threshold shown in the electrical characteristics table. The device automatically shuts down
the converter when the supply voltage at VIN falls below this threshold. Nevertheless, parts of the control circuits
remain active, which is different than device shutdown using EN inputs. The undervoltage lockout function is
implemented to prevent device malfunction.
Overtemperature Shutdown
The device automatically shuts down if the implemented internal temperature detector detects a chip temperature
above the programmed threshold shown in the electrical characteristics table. It starts operating again when the
chip temperature decreases. A built-in temperature hysteresis avoids undefined operation caused by ringing from
overtemperature shutdown.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Design Procedure
The TPS63700 dc-dc converter is intended for systems typically powered by a single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer
battery with a terminal voltage between 2.7 V up to 4.2 V. Due to the recommended input voltage going up to 5.5
V, the device is also suitable for 3-cell alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries, as well as regulated supply voltages of
3.3 V or 5 V.

Programming the Output Voltage
Converter
The output voltage of the TPS63700 converter can be adjusted with an external resistor divider connected to the
FB pin. The reference point of the feedback divider is the reference voltage VREF with 1.213 V. The typical value
of the voltage at the FB pin is 0 V. The minimum recommended output voltage at the converter is –15 V. The
feedback divider current should be 10 µA. The voltage across R2 is 1.213 V. Based on those values, the
recommended value for R2 should be 120 kΩ to 200 kΩ in order to set the divider current at the required value.
The value of the resistor R3 can then be calculated using Equation 1, depending on the needed output voltage
(VOUT):

For example, if an output voltage of –5 V is needed and a resistor of 150 kΩ has been chosen for R2, a 680-kΩ
resistor is needed to program the desired output voltage.
Inductor Selection
An inductive converter normally requires two main passive components for storing energy during the conversion.
An inductor and a storage capacitor at the output are required.
The average inductor current depends on the output load, the input voltage (VIN), and the output voltage VOUT.
It can be estimated with Equation 2, which shows the formula for the inverting converter.

with:

An important parameter for choosing the inductor is the desired current ripple in the inductor.
A ripple current value between 20% and 80% of the average inductor current can be considered as reasonable,
depending on the application requirements. A smaller ripple reduces the losses in the inductor, as well as output
voltage ripple and EMI. But in the same way, the inductor becomes larger and more expensive.
Keeping those parameters in mind, the possible inductor value can be calculated using Equation 3.

With the known inductor current ripple, the peak inductor value can be approximated with Equation 4. The peak
current through the switch and the inductor depends also on the output load, the input voltage (VIN), and the
output voltage (VOUT). To select the right inductor, it is recommended to keep the possible peak inductor current
below the current-limit threshold of the power switch. For example, the current-limit threshold of the TPS63700
switch for the inverting converter is nominally 1000 mA.

Care has to be taken for the possibility that load transients and losses in the circuit can lead to higher currents as

parameter for total circuit efficiency.

Capacitor Selection
Input Capacitor
At least a 10-µF ceramic input capacitor is recommended for a good transient behavior of the regulator, and EMI
behavior of the total power supply circuit.
Output Capacitors
One of the major parameters necessary to define the capacitance value of the output capacitor is the maximum
allowed output voltage ripple of the converter. This ripple is determined by two parameters of the capacitor, the
capacitance and the ESR. It is possible to calculate the minimum capacitance needed for the defined ripple,
supposing that the ESR is zero, by using Equation 6 for the inverting converter output capacitor.

Parameter f is the switching frequency and ∆V is the maximum allowed ripple.
With a chosen ripple voltage in the range of 10 mV, a minimum capacitance of 12 µF is needed. The total ripple
is larger due to the ESR of the output capacitor. This additional component of the ripple can be calculated using
Equation 7 .

An additional ripple of 2 mV is the result of using a typical ceramic capacitor with an ESR in a 10-mΩ range. The
total ripple is the sum of the ripple caused by the capacitance, and the ripple caused by the ESR of the capacitor.
In this example, the total ripple is 12 mV. Additional ripple is caused by load transients. When the load current
increases rapidly, the output capacitor must provide the additional current until the inductor current has been
increased by the control loop by setting a higher on-time at the main switch (duty cycle). The higher duty cycle
results in longer inductor charging periods. But the rate of increase of the inductor current is also limited by the
inductance itself. When the load current decreases rapidly, the output capacitor needs to store the excessive
energy (stored in the inductor) until the regulator has decreased the inductor current by reducing the duty cycle.
The recommendation is to use higher capacitance values, as the previous calculations show.
Stabilizing the Control Loop
Feedback Divider
To speed up the control loop, a feedforward capacitor of 10 pF is recommended in the feedback divider, parallel
to R3.
To avoid coupling noise into the control loop from the feedforward capacitor, the feedforward effect can be
bandwidth-limited by adding series resistor R4. A value in the range of 100 kΩ is suitable. The higher the
resistance, the lower the noise coupled into the control loop system.

Compensation Capacitor
The control loop of the converter is completely compensated internally. However the internal feedforward system
requires an external capacitor. A 4.7-nF capacitor at the COMP pin of the converter is recommended.
Layout Considerations
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 paths, and for the power-ground
tracks. The input capacitors, output capacitors, the inductors, and the rectifying diodes should be placed as close
as possible to the IC to keep parasitic inductances low.
The feedback divider should be placed as close as possible to the VREF pin of the IC. Use short traces when
laying out the control ground. Figure 18 is an example layout circuit.

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
heatsinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of heat-generating components affect the
power-dissipation limits of a given component.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are:
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB
• Introducing airflow to the system
The maximum recommended junction temperature (TJ) of the TPS63700 device is 125°C. The thermal resistance
of the 10-pin SON, 3x3-mm package (DRC) is RJA = 48.7°C/W. Specified regulator operation is ensured to a
maximum ambient temperature TA of 85°C. Therefore, the maximum power dissipation is about 821 mW. More
power can be dissipated if the maximum ambient temperature of the application is lower.
