Application Circuit COMPONENT SELECTION INPUT FILTER The values for the components used in this design example were selected for best load transient response and small PCB area. Additional design information is available at www.ti.com. The input voltage is a nominal 3.3 or 5 VDC. The input filter capacitors (C1 and C2) are 10-µF ceramic capacitors (MuRata). C12 is a 0.01-µF ceramic capacitor that provides high-frequency decoupling of the TPS54617 from the input supply. C1, C2 and C12 must be located as close as possible to the device. Input ripple current is shared among C1, C2 and C12. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54617 TPS54617 www.ti.com ........................................................................................................................................................................................... SLVS880 – NOVEMBER 2008 FEEDBACK CIRCUIT The values for these components are selected to provide fast transient response times. The resistor divider network of R1 and R2 sets the output voltage for the circuit at 1.8 V. R1 along with R6, R7, C5, C7, and C10 forms the loop compensation network for the circuit. For this design, a Type-3 topology is used. The feedback loop is compensated so that the closed loop crossover frequency is approximately 45 kHz at 5 V input. OPERATING FREQUENCY In the application circuit, RT is grounded through a 27.4-kΩ resistor to select the operating frequency of 1.6 MHz. To set a different frequency, place a 27-kΩ to 180-kΩ resistor between RT (pin 29) and analog ground or leave RT floating to select the default of 350 kHz. The switching frequency in MHz can be approximated using the following equation: 51000 FSW = (RT + 4400 ) (1) OUTPUT FILTER The output filter is composed of a 0.82-µH inductor and 2 × 100-µF capacitors. The inductor is a Vishay IHLM-2525CZ-01 type. The capacitors used are 100-µF, 6.3-V ceramic types with X5R dielectric. PCB LAYOUT Figure 11 shows a generalized PCB layout guide for the TPS54617. The VIN pins should be connected together on the printed circuit board (PCB) and bypassed with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pins, and the TPS54617 ground pins. The minimum recommended bypass capacitance is 10 µF ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric and the optimum placement is closest to the VIN pins and the PGND pins. The TPS54617 has two internal grounds (analog and power). The analog ground ties to all of the noise-sensitive signals, while the power ground ties to the noisier power signals. Noise injected between the two grounds can degrade the performance of the TPS54617, particularly at higher output currents. Ground noise on an analog ground plane can also cause problems with some of the control and bias signals. For these reasons, separate analog and power ground traces are recommended. There should be an area of ground on the top layer directly under the IC, with an exposed area for connection to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground area to any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the ground side of the input and output filter capacitors as well. The AGND and PGND pins should be tied to the PCB ground by connecting them to the ground area under the device as shown. Use a separate wide traces for the analog ground signal path. This analog ground should be used for the voltage set point divider, timing resistor RT, slow start capacitor, and bias capacitor grounds. Connect this trace the topside groud area near AGND (Pin 1). The PH pins should be tied together and routed to the output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, the inductor should be located very close to the PH pins and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and the BOOT pin as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to the IC and minimize the conductor trace lengths. Connect the output filter capacitor(s) as shown between the VOUT trace and PGND. It is important to keep the loop formed by the PH pins, Lout, Cout and PGND as small as practical. Place the compensation components from the VOUT trace to the VSENSE and COMP pins. Do not place these components too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of the IC package and the device pinout, the components will have to be routed somewhat close, but maintain as much separation as possible while still keeping the layout compact. Connect the bias capacitor from the VBIAS pin to analog ground using the isolated analog ground trace. If a slow-start capacitor or RT resistor is used, or if the SYNC pin is used to select 350 kHz operating frequency, connect them to this trace as well.

During power up, internal circuits are held inactive until VIN exceeds the nominal UVLO threshold voltage of 2.95 V. Once the UVLO start threshold is reached, device start-up begins. The device operates until VIN falls below the nominal UVLO stop threshold of 2.8 V. Hysteresis in the UVLO comparator, and a 2.5-µs rising and falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the likelihood of shutting the device down due to noise on VIN. Slow-Start/Enable (SS/ENA) The slow-start/enable pin provides two functions. First, the pin acts as an enable (shutdown) control by keeping the device turned off until the voltage exceeds the start threshold voltage of approximately 1.2 V. When SS/ENA exceeds the enable threshold, device start-up begins. The reference voltage fed to the error amplifier is linearly ramped up from 0 V to 0.891 V in 3.35 ms. Similarly, the converter output voltage reaches regulation in approximately 3.35 ms. Voltage hysteresis and a 2.5-µs falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the likelihood of triggering the enable due to noise. The second function of the SS/ENA pin provides an external means of extending the slow-start time with a low-value capacitor connected between SS/ENA and AGND. Adding a capacitor to the SS/ENA pin has two effects on start-up. First, a delay occurs between release of the SS/ENA pin and start-up of the output. The delay is proportional to the slow-start capacitor value and lasts until the SS/ENA pin reaches the enable threshold. The start-up delay is approximately: 1.2 V t +C d (SS) 5 mA (2) Second, as the output becomes active, a brief ramp-up at the internal slow-start rate may be observed before the externally set slow-start rate takes control and the output rises at a rate proportional to the slow-start capacitor. The slow-start time set by the capacitor is approximately: 0.7 V t +C (SS) (SS) 5 mA (3) The VBIAS regulator provides internal analog and digital blocks with a stable supply voltage over variations in junction temperature and input voltage. A high quality, low-ESR, ceramic bypass capacitor is required on the VBIAS pin. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are recommended because their values are more stable over temperature. The bypass capacitor must be placed close to the VBIAS pin and returned to AGND. External loading on VBIAS is allowed, with the caution that internal circuits require a minimum VBIAS of 2.70 V, and external loads on VBIAS with ac or digital switching noise may degrade performance. The VBIAS pin may be useful as a reference voltage for external circuits. Voltage Reference The voltage reference system produces a precise Vref signal by scaling the output of a temperature stable bandgap circuit. During manufacture, the bandgap and scaling circuits are trimmed to produce 0.891 V at the output of the error amplifier, with the amplifier connected as a voltage follower. The trim procedure adds to the high precision regulation of the TPS54617, since it cancels offset errors in the scale and error amplifier circuits. Oscillator and PWM Ramp The oscillator frequency can be set to internally fixed values of 350 kHz or 550 kHz using the SYNC pin as a static digital input. If a different frequency of operation is required for the application, the oscillator frequency can be externally adjusted from 280 to 1600 kHz by connecting a resistor between the RT pin to ground and floating the SYNC pin. The switching frequency in MHz is approximated by the following equation, where R is the resistance in Ohms from RT to AGND: 51000 FSW = (RT + 4400 ) (4) External synchronization of the PWM ramp is possible over the frequency range of 330 kHz to 1600 kHz by driving a synchronization signal into SYNC and connecting a resistor from RT to AGND. Choose a RT resistor that sets the free running frequency to 80% of the synchronization signal. Table 1 summarizes the frequency selection configurations: The actual slow-start time is likely to be less than the above approximation due to the brief ramp-up at the internal rate. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54617 TPS54617 www.ti.com ...........................................................................................................................................................................................

The user is given the flexibility to use a wide range of output L and C filter components to suit the particular application needs. Type-2 or Type-3 compensation can be employed using external compensation components. PWM Control Signals from the error amplifier output, oscillator, and current limit circuit are processed by the PWM control logic. Referring to the internal block diagram, the control logic includes the PWM comparator, OR gate, PWM latch, and portions of the adaptive dead-time and control-logic block. During steady-state operation below the current limit threshold, the PWM comparator output and oscillator pulse train alternately reset and set the PWM latch. Once the PWM latch is set, the low-side FET remains on for a minimum duration set by the oscillator pulse width. During this period, the PWM ramp discharges rapidly to its valley voltage. When the ramp begins to charge back up, the low-side FET turns off and high-side FET turns on. As the PWM ramp voltage exceeds the error amplifier output voltage, the PWM comparator resets the latch, thus turning off the high-side FET and turning on the low-side FET. The low-side FET remains on until the next oscillator pulse discharges the PWM ramp. During transient conditions, the error amplifier output could be below the PWM ramp valley voltage or above the PWM peak voltage. If the error amplifier is high, the PWM latch is never reset, and the high-side FET remains on until the oscillator pulse signals the control logic to turn the high-side FET off and the low-side FET on. The device operates at its maximum duty cycle until the output voltage rises to the regulation set-point, setting VSENSE to approximately the same voltage as VREF. If the error amplifier output is low, the PWM latch is continually reset and the high-side FET does not turn on. The low-side FET remains on until the VSENSE voltage decreases to a range that allows the PWM comparator to change states. The TPS54617 is capable of sinking current continuously until the output reaches the regulation set-point. If the current limit comparator trips for longer than 100 ns, the PWM latch resets before the PWM ramp exceeds the error amplifier output. The high-side FET turns off and low-side FET turns on to decrease the energy in the output inductor and consequently the output current. This process is repeated each cycle in which the current limit comparator is tripped. Dead-Time Control and MOSFET Drivers Adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through current from flowing in both N-channel power MOSFETs during the switching transitions by actively controlling the turnon times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver does not turn on until the voltage at the gate of the low-side FET is below 2 V. While the low-side driver does not turn on until the voltage at the gate of the high-side MOSFET is below 2 V. The high-side and low-side drivers are designed with 300-mA source and sink capability to drive the power MOSFETs gates. The low-side driver is supplied from VIN, while the high-side drive is supplied from the BOOT pin. A bootstrap circuit uses an external BOOT capacitor and an internal 2.5-Ω bootstrap switch connected between the VIN and BOOT pins. The integrated bootstrap switch improves drive efficiency and reduces external component count. Overcurrent Protection The cycle-by-cycle current limiting is achieved by sensing the current flowing through the high-side MOSFET and comparing this signal to a preset overcurrent threshold. The high side MOSFET is turned off within 200 ns of reaching the current limit threshold. A 100-ns leading edge blanking circuit prevents current limit false tripping. Current limit detection occurs only when current flows from VIN to PH when sourcing current to the output filter. Load protection during current sink operation is provided by thermal shutdown.

The device is released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature decreases to 10°C below the thermal shutdown trip point, and starts up under control of the slow-start circuit. The power good circuit monitors for under voltage conditions on VSENSE. If the voltage on VSENSE is 10% below the reference voltage, the open-drain PWRGD output is pulled low. PWRGD is also pulled low if VIN is less than the UVLO threshold or SS/ENA is low. When VIN ≥ UVLO threshold, SS/ENA ≥ enable threshold, and VSENSE > 90% of Vref, the open drain output of the PWRGD pin is high. A hysteresis voltage equal to 3% of Vref and a 35 µs falling edge deglitch circuit prevent tripping of the power good comparator due to high frequency noise. Thermal shutdown provides protection when an overload condition is sustained for several milliseconds. With a persistent fault condition, the device cycles continuously; starting up by control of the soft-start circuit, heating up due to the fault condition, and then shutting down upon reaching the thermal shutdown trip point. This sequence repeats until the fault condition is removed. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54617 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 18-Nov-2008 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing Pins Package Eco Plan (2) Qty TPS54617RUVR ACTIVE VQFN RUV 34 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) Cu NiPdAu Level-3-260C-168 HR TPS54617RUVT ACTIVE VQFN RUV 34 250 Cu NiPdAu Level-3-260C-168 HR Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) Lead/Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (3) (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
