DESCRIPTION
The TPS2500 and TPS2501 provide an integrated
solution to meet USB 5-V power requirements from a
1.8-V to 5.25-V input supply. The features include a
Hi-Speed USB compliant power output, output switch
enable, current limit, and overcurrent fault reporting.
The 1.8-V to 5.25-V input can be supplied by sources
including dc/dc regulated supplies (e.g., 3.3 V), or
batteries such as single-cell Li+ or three-cell NiCd,
NiMH, or alkaline.
The USB power-switch current limit is programmable
via an external resistor from as low as 130 mA to as
high as 1400 mA (typical). Two standard USB ports
can be supported from a single TPS2500 or TPS2501
at the 1400-mA setting.
Additionally, the boost converter output is available as
an auxiliary 5.1-V output to power additional loads.
The total current supplied by the USB output and the
auxiliary cannot exceed 1148 mA at VIN = 3 V.

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.

AUX
AUX is the boost converter output and provides power to the USB switch and to any additional load connected to
AUX. Internal feedback regulates AUX to 5.1 V. Connect a 22-µF ceramic capacitor from AUX to PGND to filter
the boost converter output. See the Component Recommendations section for further details. Additional external
load can be connected to AUX as long as the total current drawn by the USB switch and external load does not
overload the boost converter. See the Determining the Maximum Allowable AUX and USB Current section for
details.
EN
EN is a logic-level input that enables the boost converter. Pull EN above 1 V to enable the device and below 0.7
V to disable the device. EN also disables the USB switch, because the USB switch cannot be run when the
boost converter is disabled.
ENUSB
ENUSB is a logic-level input that enables the USB switch. Pull ENUSB above 1 V to enable the USB switch and
below 0.7 V to disable the USB switch. ENUSB only enables the USB switch. The boost converter is
independent of ENUSB and continues to operate even when ENUSB disables the USB switch.

FAULT
FAULT is an open-drain output that indicates when the USB switch is in an overcurrent or overtemperature
condition. FAULT has a fixed internal deglitch of tDEG to prevent false triggering from noise or transient
conditions. FAULT asserts low if the USB switch remains in an overcurrent condition for longer than tDEG. FAULT
de-asserts when the overcurrent condition is removed after waiting for the same tDEG period. Overtemperature
conditions bypass the internal delay period and assert/de-assert the FAULT output immediately upon entering or
leaving an overtemperature condition. FAULT is asserted low when VAUX falls below VTRIP (4.6 V, typical).
GND
Signal and logic circuits of the TPS2500 are referenced to GND. Connect GND to a quiet ground plane near the
device. An optional 0.1-µF capacitor can be connected from VIN to GND close the device to provide local
decoupling. Connect GND and PGND to the thermal pad externally at a single location to provide a star-point
ground. See the Layout Recommendations section for further details.
ILIM
Connect a resistor from ILIM to GND to program the current-limit threshold of the USB switch. Place this resistor
as close to the device as possible to prevent noise from coupling into the internal circuitry. Do not drive ILIM with
an external source. The current-limit threshold is proportional to the current through the RILIM resistor. See the
Programming the Current-Limit Threshold Resistor section for details on selecting the current-limit resistor.
IN
IN is the input voltage supply for the boost converter. Connect a 10-µF ceramic capacitor (minimum) from IN to
PGND. See the Component Recommendations section for further details on selecting the input capacitor.
PGND
PGND is the internal ground connection for the source of the low-side N-channel MOSFET in the boost
converter. Connect PGND to an external plane near the ground connection of the input and output capacitors to
minimize parasitic effects due to high switching currents of the boost converter. Connect PGND to GND and the
thermal pad externally at a single location to provide a star-point ground. See the Layout Recommendations
section for further details.
SW
SW is the internal boost converter connection of the low-side N-channel MOSFET drain and the high-side
P-channel drain. Connect the boost inductor from IN to SW close to the device to minimize parasitic effects on
the device operation.
Thermal Pad
The thermal pad connection is used to heat-sink the device to the printed-circuit board (PCB). The thermal pad
may not be connected externally to a potential other than ground because it is connected to GND internally. The
thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB to remove sufficient thermal energy in order to stay within the
recommended operating range of the device.
USB
USB is the output of the USB switch and should be connected to the USB connector to provide USB power.
Although the device does not require it for operation, a bulk capacitor may be connected from USB to PGND to
meet USB standard requirements. See the latest USB 2.0 specification for further details.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
This device targets applications for host-side USB devices where a 5-V power rail, required for USB operation, is
unavailable. The TPS2500 integrates the functionality of a synchronous boost converter and a single USB switch
into a monolithic integrated circuit so that lower-voltage rails can be used directly to provide USB power. An
additional feature is that the auxiliary 5-V power rail is brought external to the device to power non-USB loads in
addition to the integrated USB switch.
The boost converter is highly integrated, including the switching MOSFETs (low-side N-channel, high-side
synchronous P-channel), gate-drive and analog-control circuitry, and control-loop compensation. Additional
features include high-efficiency light-load operation, overload and short-circuit protection, and controlled
monotonic soft start. The USB switch integrates all necessary functions, including back-to-back series N-channel
MOSFETs, charge-pump gate driver, and analog control circuitry. The current-limit protection is user-adjustable
by selecting the RILIM resistor from ILIM to GND.
The only external components required are the boost inductor, current-limit setting resistor, and input and output
capacitors for the boost converter.
BOOST CONVERTER
Start-Up
Input power to the TPS2500 is provided from IN to GND. The device has an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit
that disables the device until the voltage on IN exceeds 2.15 V (typical). The TPS2500 goes through its normal
start-up process and attempts to regulate the AUX voltage to 5.1 V (typical).
The boost converter has a two-step start-up sequence. Step one is a constant-current mode that regulates the
current through the high-side P-channel MOSFET to ISTART (2.65 A typical). ISTART provides power to the load and
charges the output capacitance on VAUX until VAUX reaches VIN – VEXIT. The converter begins to switch once VAUX
exceeds VIN – VEXIT. The initial duty cycle of the device is limited by a closed-loop soft start that ramps the
reference voltage to the internal error amplifier to provide a controlled, monotonic start-up on VAUX. The boost
converter goes through this cycle any time the voltage on VAUX drops below VIN – VEXIT due to overload
conditions or the boost converter re-enables after normal shutdown.

The USB switch is powered directly from VAUX and turns on once the UVLO of the USB switch is met (4.3 V
typical). The turnon is controlled internally to provide a monotonic start-up on VUSB.
Normal Operation
The boost converter runs at a 1-MHz fixed frequency and regulates the output voltage VAUX using a pulse-width
modulating (PWM) topology that adjusts the duty cycle of the low-side N-channel MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle
basis. The PWM latch is set at the beginning of each clock cycle and commands the gate driver to turn on the
low-side MOSFET. The low-side MOSFET remains on until the PWM latch is reset.
Voltage regulation is controlled by a peak-current-mode control architecture. The voltage loop senses the voltage
on VAUX and provides negative feedback into an internal, transconductance-error amplifier with internal
compensation and resistor divider. The output of the transconductance-error amplifier is summed with the output
of the slope-compensation block and provides the error signal that is fed into the inverting input of the PWM
comparator. Slope compensation is necessary to prevent subharmonic oscillations that may occur in
peak-current-mode control architectures that exceed 50% duty cycle. The PWM ramp fed into the noninverting
input of the PWM comparator is provided by sensing the inductor current through the low-side N-channel
MOSFET. The PWM latch is reset when the PWM ramp intersects the error signal and terminates the pulse
width for that clock period. The TPS2500 stops switching if the peak-demanded current signal from the error
amplifier falls below the zero-duty-cycle threshold of the device.
Low-Frequency Mode
The TPS2500 enters low-frequency mode above VIN = VLFM (4.35 V typical) by reducing the dc/dc converter
frequency from 1 MHz (typical) to 250 kHz (typical). Current-mode control topologies require internal
leading-edge blanking of the current-sense signal to prevent nuisance trips of the PWM control MOSFET. The
consequence of leading-edge blanking is that the PWM controller has a minimum controllable on-time (85 ns
typical) that results in a minimum controllable duty cycle. In a boost converter, the demanded duty cycle
decreases as the input voltage increases. The boost converter pulse-skips if the demanded duty cycle is less
than what the minimum controllable on-time allows, which is undesireable due to the excessive increase in
switching ripple. When the TPS2500 enters low-frequency mode above VIN = VLFM, the minimum controllable
duty cycle is increased because the minimum controllable on-time is a smaller percentage of the entire switching
period. Low-frequency mode prevents pulse skipping at voltages larger than VLFM. The TPS2500 resumes normal
1-MHz switching operation when VIN decreases below VLFM.
One effect of reducing the switching frequency is that the ripple current in the inductor and output AUX
capacitors is increased. It is important to verify that the peak inductor current does not exceed the peak switch
current limit ISW (4.5 A typical) and that the increase in AUX ripple is acceptable during low-frequency mode.
No-Frequency Mode
The TPS2500 enters no-frequency mode above VIN = VNFM (5.05 V typical) by disabling the oscillator and turning
on the high-side synchronous PMOS 100% of the time. The input voltage is now directly connected to the AUX
output through the inductor and high-side PMOS. Power dissipation in the device is reduced in no-frequency
mode because there is no longer any switching loss and no RMS current flows through the low-side control
NMOS, which results in higher system-level efficiency. The boost converter resumes switching when VIN falls
below VNFM.
Eco-mode Light-Load Operation
The TPS2500 enters the Eco-mode control scheme at light loads to increase efficiency. The device reduces
power dissipation while in the Eco-mode control scheme by disabling the gate drivers and power MOSFETs and
entering a pulsed-frequency mode (PFM). PFM works by disabling the gate driver when the PFM latch is set.
During this time period there is no switching, and the load current is provided solely by the output capacitor.
There are two comparators that determine when the device enters or leaves the Eco-mode control scheme. The
first comparator is the PFM-enter comparator. The PFM-enter comparator monitors the peak demanded current
in the inductor and allows the device to enter the Eco-mode control scheme when the inductor current falls below
IINDLOW (420 mA typical). The second comparator is the AUX-low comparator. The AUX-low comparator
monitors AUX and forces the converter out of the Eco-mode control scheme and resumes normal operation
when the voltage on AUX falls below AUXLOW (5 V typical). The Eco-mode control scheme is diabled during
low-frequency mode when VIN > VLFM (4.35 V typical).

Overvoltage Protection
The TPS2500 provides overvoltage protection on VAUX to protect downstream devices. Overvoltage protection is
provided by disabling the gate drivers and power MOSFETs when an overvoltage condition is detected. The
TPS2500 uses a single AUX-high comparator to monitor the AUX voltage by sensing the voltage on the internal
feedback node fed into the error amplifier. The AUX-high comparator disables the gate driver whenever the
voltage on AUX exceeds the regulation point by 5% (typical). The gate driver remains disabled until the AUX
voltage falls below the 5% high OVP threshold. The overvoltage protection feature is disabled when VIN > VNFM
(5.05 V typical) to prevent unwanted shutdown.
Overload Conditions
The TPS2500 boost converter uses multiple overcurrent protection features to limit current in the event of an
overload or short-circuit condition. The first feature is the lower current-limit comparator that works on a
cycle-by-cycle basis. This comparator turns off the low-side MOSFET by resetting the PWM latch whenever the
current through the low-side MOSFET exceeds 4.5 A (typical). The low-side MOSFET remains off until the next
switching cycle. The second feature is the upper current-limit comparator that disables switching for eight
switching cycles whenever the current in the low-side MOSFET exceeds 6.7 A (typical). After eight switching
cycles, the boost converter resumes normal operation. The third feature is the constant-current start-up ISTART
comparator that disables switching and regulates the current through the high-side MOSFET whenever the
voltage on VAUX drops below the input voltage by VEXIT (700 mV typ). This feature protects the boost converter in
the event of an output short circuit on VAUX. ISTART also current-limit protects the synchronous MOSFET in
no-frequency mode when VIN > VNFM (5.05 V typical). The converter goes through normal start-up operation once
the short-circuit condition is removed. A fourth feature is the 85% (typical) maximum-duty-cycle clamp that
prevents excessive current from building in the inductor.
Determining the Maximum Allowable AUX and USB Current
The maximum output current of the boost converter out of AUX depends on several system-level factors
including input voltage, inductor value, switching frequency, and ambient temperature. The limiting factor for the
TPS2500 is the peak inductor current, which cannot exceed ISW (3 A minimum). The cycle-by-cycle current-limit
turns off the low-side NMOS as a protection mechanism whenever the inductor current exceeds ISW. The graph
in Figure 12 can be used as a guideline for determing the maximum total current at different input voltages. The

POWER SWITCH
Overview
The TPS2500 integrates a current-limited, power-distribution switch using an N-channel MOSFET for applications
where short circuits or heavy capacitive loads are encountered. The current-limit threshold is user-programmable
between 130 mA and 1.4 A (typical) by selecting an external resistor. The device incorporates an internal charge
pump and gate-drive circuitry necessary to fully enhance the N-channel MOSFET. The internal gate driver
controls the MOSFET turnon to limit large current and voltage surges by providing built-in soft-start functionality.
The power switch has an independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables the power switch until
the voltage on AUX reaches 4.3 V (typical). Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off cycling due to input
voltage drop on AUX from current surges on the output of the power switch. The power switch has an
independent logic-level enable control (ENUSB) that gates power-switch turnon and bias for the charge pump,
driver, and miscellaneous control circuitry. A logic-high input on ENUSB enables the driver, control circuits, and
power switch. The enable input is compatible with CMOS, TTL, LVTTL, 2.5-V, and 1.8-V logic levels.
Overcurrent Conditions
The TPS2500 power switch responds to overcurrent conditions by limiting its output current to the IOS levels
shown in Figure 4. The device maintains a constant output current and reduces the output voltage accordingly
during an overcurrent condition. Two possible overload conditions can occur.
The first condition is when a short circuit or partial short circuit is present on the output of the switch prior to
device turnon and the device is powered up or enabled. The output voltage is held near zero potential with
respect to ground, and the TPS2500 ramps the output current to IOS. The TPS2500 power switch limits the
current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the device begins to cycle thermally.
The second condition is when a short circuit, partial short circuit, or transient overload occurs while the device is
already enabled and powered on. The device responds to the overcurrent condition within time tIOS (see
Figure 3). The current-sense amplifier is overdriven during this time and momentarily disables the power switch.
The current-sense amplifier recovers and limits the output current to IOS. The power switch thermally cycles if an
overload condition is present long enough to activate thermal limiting in any of the foregoing cases. The power
switch turns off when the junction temperature exceeds 130°C while in current-limit. The power switch remains
off until the junction temperature cools 10°C and then restarts. The TPS2500 power switch cycles on/off until the
overload is removed. The boost converter is independent of the power-switch thermal sense and continues to
operate as long as the temperature of the boost converter remains less than 150°C and does not trigger the
boost-converter thermal sense.
FAULT Response
The FAULT open-drain output is asserted low during an overcurrent condition that causes VUSB to fall below
VTRIP (4.6 V typical) or causes the junction temperature to exceed the shutdown threshold (130°C). The TPS2500
asserts the FAULT signal until the fault condition is removed and the power switch resumes normal operation.
The FAULT signal is independent of the boost converter. The FAULT signal uses an internal delay deglitch circuit
(8-ms typical) to delay asserting the FAULT signal during an overcurrent condition. The power switch must
remain in an overcurrent condition for the entire deglitch period or the deglitch timer is restarted. This ensures
that FAULT is not accidentally asserted due to normal operation such as starting into a heavy capacitive load.
The deglitch circuitry delays entering and leaving fault conditions. Overtemperature conditions are not deglitched
and assert the FAULT signal immediately.
Power Switch Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the TPS2500 power switch until the input voltage on AUX
reaches the power switch UVLO turn-on threshold of 4.3 V (typical). Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off
cycling due to input-voltage drop from large current surges.

Power Switch Enable
The logic enable controls the power switch, bias for the charge pump, driver, and other circuits to reduce the
supply current of the power switch. The power-switch supply current is reduced to less than 4 µA (typical) when
a logic-low input is present on ENUSB. A logic-high input on ENUSB enables the driver, control circuits, and
power switch. The enable input is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels.
Programming the Current-Limit Threshold Resistor RILIM
The overcurrent threshold is user programmable via an external resistor. The TPS2500 uses an internal
regulation loop to provide a regulated voltage on the ILIM pin. The current-limit threshold is proportional to the
current sourced out of ILIM. The recommended 1% resistor range for RILIM is 16.1 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 200 kΩ to ensure
stability of the internal regulation loop. Many applications require that the minimum current limit is above a certain
current level or that the maximum current limit is below a certain current level, so it is important to consider the
tolerance of the overcurrent threshold when selecting a value for RILIM. The following equations and Figure 13
can be used to calculate the resulting overcurrent threshold for a given external resistor value (RILIM). Figure 13
includes current-limit tolerance due to variations caused by temperature and process. However, the equations do
not account for tolerance due to external resistor variation, so it is important to account for this tolerance when
selecting RILIM. The traces routing the RILIM resistor to the TPS2500 should be as short as possible to reduce
parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy.
RILIM can be selected to provide a current-limit threshold that occurs 1) above a minimum load current or 2)
below a maximum load current.
To design above a minimum current-limit threshold, find the intersection of RILIM and the maximum desired load
current on the IOS(min) curve and choose a value of RILIM below this value. Programming the current limit above a
minimum threshold is important to ensure start up into full load or heavy capacitive loads. The resulting maximum
current-limit threshold is the intersection of the selected value of RILIM and the IOS(max) curve.
To design below a maximum current-limit threshold, find the intersection of RILIM and the maximum desired load
current on the IOS(max) curve and choose a value of RILIM above this value. Programming the current limit below a
maximum threshold is important to avoid current-limiting upstream power supplies, causing the input voltage bus
to droop. The resulting minimum current-limit threshold is the intersection of the selected value of RILIM and the
IOS(min) curve.

In addition to current-limit shifts due to process and temperature, the operating conditions of the boost converter
also affect the current-limit threshold of the USB switch. Figure 13 accounts for process and temperature shifts at
VIN = 3.3 V and IAUX = 0 A. The following figures show current-limit shift trends over VIN and IAUX (where IAUX is
the auxiliary 5-V load current provided to any non-USB loads). These curves can be used to calculate the USB

Accounting for Resistor Tolerance in the USB Switch Curent-Limit Accuracy
The previous sections described the selection of RILIM, given certain application requirements and the importance
of understanding the current-limit threshold tolerance. The analysis focussed only on the TPS2500 performance
and assumed an exact resistor value. However, resistors sold in quantity are not exact and are bounded by an
upper and lower tolerance centered around a nominal resistance. The additional RILIM resistance tolerance
directly affects the current-limit threshold accuracy at a system level. Table 2 shows a process that accounts for
worst-case resistor tolerance assuming 1% resistor values. Step 1 follows the selection process outlined in the
application examples above. Step 2 determines the upper and lower resistance bounds of the selected resistor.
Step 3 uses the upper and lower resistor bounds in the IOS equations to calculate the threshold limits. It is
important to use tighter tolerance resistors, e.g. 0.5% or 0.1%, when precision current limiting is desired. Also, it
is important to note that this table assumes VIN = 3.3 V and IAUX = 0 A, so Figure 14 through Figure 19 should be
consulted to approximate how IOS shifts with VIN and IAUX. See the Programming the Current-Limit Threshold
Resistor section for additional details.

The TPS2500 self-protects using two independent thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating
temperatures of the boost converter and power switch independently and disable operation if the temperature
exceeds recommended operating conditions. The boost converter and power switch each have an ambient
thermal sensor that disables operation if the measured junction temperature in that part of the circuit exceeds
150°C. The boost converter continues to operate even if the power switch is disabled due to an overtemperature
condition.
Component Recommendations
The main functions of the TPS2500 are integrated and meet recommended operating conditions with a wide
range of external components. The following sections give guidlines and trade-offs for external component
selection. The recommended values given are conservative and intended over the full range of recommended
operating conditions.

Boost Inductor
Connect the boost inductor from IN to SW. The inductance controls the ripple current through the inductor. A
2.2-µH inductor is recommended, and the minimum and maxium inductor values are constrained by the
integrated features of the TPS2500. The minimum inductance is limited by the peak inductor-current value. The
ripple current in the inductor is inversely proportional to the inductance value, so the output voltage may fall out
of regulation if the peak inductor current exceeds the cycle-by-cycle current-limit comparator (3 A minimum).
Using a nominal 2.2-µH inductor allows full recommended current operation even if the inductance is 20% low
(1.76 µH) due to component variation. The maximum inductance value is limited by the internal compensation of
the boost-converter control loop. A maximum 4.7-µH (typical) inductor value is recommended to maintain
adequate phase margin over the full range of recommended operating conditions.

IN Capacitance
Connect the input capacitance from IN to the reference ground plane. (See the Layout Recommendations
section for connecting PGND and GND to the ground plane.) Input capacitance reduces the ac voltage ripple on
the input rail by providing a low-impedance path for the switching current of the boost converter. The TPS2500
does not have a minimum or maximum input capacitance requirement for operation, but a 10-µF, X7R or X5R
ceramic capacitor is recommended for most applications for reasonable input-voltage ripple performance. There
are several scenarios where it is recommended to use additional input capacitance:
•
•
•
The output impedance of the upstream power supply is high, or the power supply is located far from the
TPS2500.
The TPS2500 is tested in a lab environment with long, inductive cables connected to the input, and transient
voltage spikes could exceed the absolute maximum voltage rating of the device.
The device is operating in Eco-mode control scheme near VIN = 1.8 V, where insufficient input capacitance
may cause the input ripple voltage to fall below the minimum 1.75-V (typical) UVLO circuit, causing device
turnoff.
Additionally, it is good engineering practice to use an additional 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to the
IC to prevent unwanted high-frequency noise from coupling into the device.
AUX Capacitance
Connect the boost-converter output capacitance from AUX to the reference ground plane. The AUX capacitance
controls the ripple voltage on the AUX rail and provides a low-impedance path for the switching and
transient-load currents of the boost converter. It also sets the location of the output pole in the control loop of the
boost converter. There are limitations to the minimum and maximum capacitance on AUX. The recommended
minimum capacitance on AUX is a 22-µF, X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor. A 10-V rated ceramic capacitor is
recommended to minimize the capacitance derating loss due to dc bias applied to the capacitor. The low ESR of
the ceramic capacitor minimizes ripple voltage and power dissipation from the large, pulsating currents of the
boost converter and provides adequate phase margin across all recommended operating conditions.
In some applications, it is desirable to add additional AUX capacitance. Additional AUX capacitance reduces
transient undershoot/overshoot voltages due to load steps and reduces AUX ripple in the Eco-mode control
scheme. Adding AUX capacitance changes the control loop, resulting in reduced phase margin, so it is
recommended that no more than 220 µF of additional capacitance be added in parallel to the 22-µF ceramic
capacitor. The combined output capacitance on AUX and USB should not exceed 500 µF.
USB Capacitance
Connect the USB capacitance from USB to the reference ground plane. The USB capacitance is on the output of
the power switch and provides energy for transient load steps. The TPS2500 does not require any USB
capacitance for operation. Additional capacitance can be added on USB, but it is recommended to not exceed
220 µF to maintain adequate phase margin for the boost converter control loop. The combined output
capacitance on AUX and USB should not exceed 500 µF. USB applications require a minimum of 120 µF on
downstream-facing ports.
ILIM and FAULT Resistors
Connect the ILIM resistor from ILIM to the reference ground plane. The ILIM resistor programs the current-limit
threshold of the USB power switch (see the Programming the Current-Limit Threshold Resistor section). The
ILIM pin is the output of an internal linear regulator that provides a fixed 400-mV output. The recommended
nominal resisistor value using 1% resistors on ILIM is 16.1 kΩ ≤ RILIM ≤ 200 kΩ. This range should be adjusted
accordingly if 1% resistors are not used. Do not overdrive ILIM with an external voltage or connect directly to
GND. Connect the ILIM resistor as close to the TPS2500 as possible to miniimze the effects of parasitics on
device operation. Do not add external capacitance on the ILIM pin. The ILIM pin should not be left floating.
Connect the FAULT resistor from the FAULT pin to an external voltage source such as VAUX or VIN. The FAULT
pin is an open-drain output capable of sinking a maximum current of 10 mA continuously. The FAULT resistor
should be sized large enough to limit current to under 10 mA continuously. Do not tie FAULT directly to an
external voltage source. The maximum recommended voltage on FAULT is 6.5 V. The FAULT pin can be left
floating if not used.

Power Dissipation
Power dissipation is an important consideration in any power device with integrated MOSFETs. Although there
are internal thermal sensors that disable the device in the event of an overtermperature condition, it is still good
design practice to calculate the maximum junction temperature and to maintain the maximum junction
temperature under the recommended maximum of 125 °C. There are many ways to approximate the junction
temperature of the device. One method is to calculate the junction temperature rise by multiplying the power
dissipation of the device by the thermal resistance of the device package. The absolute junction temperature is
approximated by the addition of the ambient temperature plus the calculated junction temperature rise: TJ = TA +
(PDISS × θJA) ≤ 125°C
where TA and TJ are in °C, θJA is in °C/W, and PDISS is in W.
The maximum ambient temperature is often an application-specific requirement, such as 85°C maximum. The
thermal resistance is mainly a function of the device package but is impacted by system-level considerations
such as layout, heatsinking from the surrounding copper pours, the number of board layers, copper thickness,
airflow, and surrounding power-dissipating devices (e.g., the power inductor). External equipment such as a
thermal camera can help asses the overall thermal performance of a design. The thermal resistance value of
41.6 °C/W from the Dissipation Ratings table can be used as an initial estimate. The power dissipation of the
device is the sum of the power dissipation in the boost converter plus the power dissipation in the USB power
æ1 ö
PDISS = VAUX ´ (IAUX + IUSB ) ç - 1÷ + IUSB2 ´ rUSB
èh ø
switch. This can be approximated by:
where PDISS is in W, VAUX is in V, IAUX and IUSB are in A, η is the efficiency of the boost converter, and rUSB is
in Ω. IAUX is the additional current powering auxiliary loads and does not include any current powering the USB
load. Efficiency can be approximated from the efficiency graphs in the Application Curves section. This approach
may be slightly pessimistic because it does not separate any power losses in the inductor from overall converter
efficiency.
Layout Recommendations
Layout is an important design step due to the high switching frequency of the boost converter. Careful attention
must be applied to the PCB layout to ensure proper function of the device and to obtain the specified
performance. Potential issues resulting from poor layout techniques include wider line and load regulation
tolerances, EMI noise issues, stability problems, and USB current-limit shifts. It is critical to provide a
low-impedance ground path that minimizes parasitic inductance. Wide and short traces should be used in the
high-current paths, and components should be placed as close to the device as possible.
Grounding is an important part of the layout. The device has a PGND and a GND pin. The GND pin is the quiet
analog ground of the device and should have its own separate ground pour; connect the quiet signals to GND
including the RILIM resistor and any input decoupling capacitors to the GND pour. It is important that the RILIM
resistor be tied to a quiet ground to avoid unwanted shifts in the current-limit threshold. The PGND pin is the
high-current power-stage ground; the ground pours of the output (AUX) and bulk input capacitors should be tied
to PGND. PGND and GND should to be tied together in one location at the IC thermal pad, creating a star-point
ground.
The output filter of the boost converter is also critical for layout. The inductor and AUX capacitors should be
placed to minimize the area of current loop through AUX–PGND–SW.
The layout for the TPS2500EVM evaluation board (HPA337) is shown in Figure 21 and should be followed as
closely as possible for best performance. The key components are inside the white silkscreen box.

AUX Voltage
The AUX voltage of the TPS2500 is internally fixed at 5.1 V.
Determine Maximum Total Current (IAUX + IUSB)
Using Figure 12, the maximum total current at VIN = 2.7 V is 1 A using the conservative line. The design
requirements are met for this application.
Power Inductor
The inductor ripple current, Δi, should be at least 20% of the average inductor current to avoid erratic operation
of the peak-current-mode PWM controller. Assume an inductor ripple current, Δi, which is 30% of the average
inductor current and a power-converter efficiency, η, of 90%. Using the minimum input voltage, the average
inductor current at VIN = 2.7 V is:

Select a Coilcraft LPS4018-222ML inductor. This 2.2-µH inductor has a saturation current rating of 2.7 A and an
rms current rating of 2.3 A. See the Component Recommendations section for specific additional information.

voltage of ΔVAUX. ΔVAUX is largest at maximum load current.

Ceramic capacitors exhibit a dc bias effect, whereby the capacitance falls with increasing bias voltage. The effect
is worse for capacitors in smaller case sizes and lower voltage ratings. X5R and X7R capacitors exhibit less dc
bias effect than Y5V and Z5U capacitors.
Select a TDK C3225X5R1A226M 22-µF, 10-V X5R ceramic capacitor to allow for a 50% drop in capacitance due
to the dc bias effect. See the Component Recommendations section for specific additional information.
Output USB Capacitor Selection
The USB output capacitor provides energy during a load step on the USB output. The TPS2500 does not require
a USB output capacitor, but many USB applications require that downstream-facing ports be bypassed with a
minimum of 120-µF, low-ESR capacitance.
Select a Panasonic EEVFK1A151P 150-µF, 10-V capacitor.
Input Capacitor Selection
The ripple current through the input filter capacitor is equal to the ripple current through the inductor. If the ESL
and ESR of the input filter capacitor are ignored, then the required input filter capacitance is:
Di
630 mA

= 5.25.μF

Select a TDK C2012X5R1A106K 10-µF, 10-V, X5R, size 805 ceramic capacitor. The capacitance drops 20% at
3.3-V bias, resulting in an effective capacitance of 8 µF.
An additional 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor should be placed locally from IN to GND to prevent noise from coupling
into the device if the input capacitor cannot be located physically near to the device.
In applications where long, inductive cables connect the input power supply to the device, additional bulk input
capacitance may be necessary to minimize voltage overshoot. See the Component Recommendations section
for specific additional information.
Current-Limit Threshold Resistor RILIM
The current-limit threshold IOS of the power switch is externally adjustable by selecting the RILIM resistor. To
eliminate the possibility of false tripping, RILIM should be selected so that the minimum tolerance of the
current-limit threshold is greater than the maximum specified USB load, IUSB. For design margin, an additional
10% (50 mA) buffer is added above the maximum continuous load current and minimum current-limit threshold,
which sets the minimum desired current-limit threshold at 550 mA.

It is also important to account for IOS shifts due to variation in VIN and IAUX, so by referencing the curves in the
Programming the Current-Limit Threshold Resistor section (Figure 19, specifically) it can be seen that IOS will
shift down by ~50 mA from the VIN = 3.3 V, IAUX = 0 A reference point at our maximum operating conditions of
VIN = 4.2 V, IAUX = 500 mA. Select RILIM so that the minimum current-limit threshold equals 600 mA to ensure a
minimum IUSB current-limit threshold of 550 mA.

http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
