During the power-up sequence, both gate drive outputs remain low until the VDD voltage reaches UVLO-H threshold, typically 3.7 V. Once the UVLO threshold is reached, the condition of the gate drive outputs is defined by the input PWM and SKIP signals. During the power-down sequence, the UVLO threshold is set lower, typically 3.5 V. PWM Input Once the input supply voltage is above the UVLO threshold, the gate drive outputs are defined by the PWM input and SKIP input. Prior to PWM going HIGH, both the gate drive outputs, (DRVH and DRVL) are held LOW. The DRVL is LOW until the first PWM HIGH pulse to support pre-biased start-up. Once PWM goes HIGH for the first time, DRVH goes HIGH. Then, when PWM goes LOW, DRVH goes LOW first. After the non-overlap time, DRVL goes HIGH. PWM PWM DRVL tDLY(fall) tDLY(fall) tDLY(rise) 1.0 V DRVL turned OFF by zero-crossing tNONOVLP tNONOVLP 1.0 V DRVH tNONOVLP DRVH 1.0 V UDG-11131 UDG-11129 Figure 17. Continuous Conduction Mode Waveforms tDLY(rise) Figure 18. Discontinuous Conduction Mode Waveforms SKIP/FCCM Mode Operation The TPS51601A can be configured in two ways. When used as the external driver for Phase 1, this pin connects to the corresponding SKIP pin of the PWM controller. The SKIP pin is active low signal. This means when SKIP is low, then the zero crossing detection circuit of the driver is active. When SKIP is high, the zero-crossing detector is disabled and the converter operates in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM). Adaptive Zero-Crossing The TPS51601A has an adaptive zero-crossing detector. Zero crossing accuracy is detected by checking the switch-node voltage at an appropriate time after the low-side FET is turned OFF by DRVL going low. Then the zero-crossing comparator offset is updated based on previous result. After several zero-crossing events, the comparator offset is optimized to give the best efficiency. Adaptive Dead-Time Control (Anti-Cross Conduction) The TPS51601A has an adaptive dead-time control logic to minimize the non-overlap time between DRVH and DRVL signals. The internal signal to the low-side driver goes HIGH only when the DRVH-SW voltage goes below approximately 1 V and DRVH goes below approximately 1 V to ensure the high-side MOSFET has turned OFF. Additional driver delays ensure that there is some non-overlap time between DRVH falling edge and DRVL rising edge. Similarly, the internal signal to the DRVH goes high only after DRVL-GND goes below 1 V. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS51601A TPS51601A www.ti.com SLUSAP3 – MAY 2012 Integrated Boost-Switch To maintain a BST-SW voltage close to VDD (to get lower conduction losses on the high-side FET), the conventional diode from VDD to BST is replaced by a FET which is gated by DRVL signal.

The most important loop to minimize the area of is Loop 1, the path from the input capacitor through the high-side and low-side FETs, and back to the capacitor through ground. Loop 2 is from the inductor through the output capacitor, ground and Q2. The layout of the low side gate drive (loops 3a and 3b) is important. The guidelines for gate drive layout are: • Make the low-side gate drive as short as possible (1 inch or less preferred). • Make the DRVL width to length ratio of 1:10, wider (1:5) if possible. • If changing layers is necessary, use at least two vias. • Decouple VDD to GND (CD in Figure 20) with at ceramic capacitor with a value of least a 2.2-µF.
