APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS40060/61 family of parts allows the user to optimize the PWM controller to the specific application.
The TPS40061 is the controller of choice for synchronous buck designs which will include most applications. It
has two quadrant operation and will source or sink output current. This provides the best transient response.
The TPS40060 operates in one quadrant and sources output current only, allowing for paralleling of converters
and ensures that one converter does not sink current from another converter. This controller also emulates a
standard buck converter at light loads where the inductor current goes discontinuous. At continuous output
inductor currents the controller operates as a synchronous buck converter to optimize efficiency.
SW NODE RESISTOR
The SW node of the converter will be negative during the dead time when both the upper and lower MOSFETs
are off. The magnitude of this negative voltage is dependent on the lower MOSFET body diode and the output
current which flows during this dead time. This negative voltage could affect the operation of the controller,
especially at low input voltages.
Therefore, a 10-Ω resistor must be placed between the lower MOSFET drain and pin 12 (SW) of the controller as
shown in Figure 13 as RSW.
SETTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY (PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR)
The TPS40060 and TPS40061 have independent clock oscillator and ramp generator circuits. The clock
oscillator serves as the master clock to the ramp generator circuit. The switching frequency, fSW in kHz, of the
clock oscillator is set by a single resistor (RT) to ground. The clock frequency is related to RT, in kΩ by
Equation 1 and the relationship is charted in Figure 2.

PROGRAMMING THE RAMP GENERATOR CIRCUIT
The ramp generator circuit provides the actual ramp used by the PWM comparator. The ramp generator provides
voltage feed-forward control by varying the PWM ramp slope with line voltage, while maintaining a constant ramp
magnitude. Varying the PWM ramp directly with line voltage provides excellent response to line variations since
the PWM does not have to wait for loop delays before changing the duty cycle. (See Figure 1).

SLUS543D – DECEMBER 2002 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2004
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
The PWM ramp must be faster than the master clock frequency or the PWM is prevented from starting. The
PWM ramp time is programmed via a single resistor (RKFF) pulled up to VIN. RKFF is related to RT, and the
minimum input voltage, VIN(min) through the following:

where:

•
VIN is the desired start-up (UVLO) input voltage
RT is the timing resistor in kΩ
See the section on UVLO operation for further description.
The curve showing the feedforward impedance required for a given switching frequency, fSW, at various input
voltages is shown in Figure 3.
For low input voltage and high duty cycle applications, the voltage feed-forward may limit the duty cycle
prematurely. This does not occur for most applications. The voltage control loop controls the duty cycle and
regulates the output voltages. For more information on large duty cycle operation, refer to Application Note
(SLUA310).

UVLO OPERATION
The TPS40060 and TPS40061 use both fixed and variable (user programmable) UVLO protection. The fixed
UVLO monitors the BP10 and BP5 bypass voltages. The UVLO circuit holds the soft-start low until the BP5 and
BP10 voltage rails have exceeded their thresholds and the input voltage has exceed the user programmable
undervoltage threshold.
The TPS40060 and TPS40061 use the feed-forward pin, KFF, as a user programmable low-line UVLO detection.
This variable low-line UVLO threshold compares the PWM ramp duration to the oscillator clock period. An
undervoltage condition existis if the device receives a clock pulse before the ramp has reached 90% of its full
amplitude. The ramp duration is a function of the ramp slope, which is directly related to the current into the KFF
pin. The KFF current is a function of the input voltage and the resistance from KFF to the input voltage. The KFF
resistor can be referenced to the oscillator frequency as descibed in Equation 3:

The variable UVLO function utilizes a 3-bit full adder to prevent spurious shut-downs or turn-ons due to spikes or
fast line transients. When the adder reaches a total of seven counts in which the ramp duration is shorter the
clock cycle a powergood signal is asserted, a soft-start initiated, and the upper and lower MOSFETs are turned
off.
Once the soft-start is initiated, the UVLO cicruit must see a total count of seven cycles in which the ramp
duration is longer than the clock cycle before an undervoltage condition is declared (See Figure 4).

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
The impedance of the input voltage can cause the input voltage, at the TPS4006x, to sag when the converter
starts to operate and draw current from the input source. Therefore, there is voltage hysteresis that prevents
nuisance shutdowns at the UVLO point.
With RT chosen to select the operating frequency and RKFF chosen to select the start-up voltage, the amount of
hysteresis voltage is shown in Figure 5.
PROGRAMMING SOFT START
TPS4006x uses a closed-loop approach to ensure a controlled ramp on the output during start-up. Soft-start is
programmed by charging an external capacitor (CSS) via an internally generated current source. The voltage on
CSS minus 0.85 V, is fed into a separate non-inverting input to the error amplifier (in addition to FB and 0.7-V
VREF). The loop is closed on the lower of the (CSS– 0.85 V) voltage or the internal reference voltage ( 0.7-V
VREF). Once the (CSS– 0.85 V) voltage rises above the internal reference voltage, regulation is based on the
internal reference. To ensure a controlled ramp-up of the output voltage the soft-start time should be greater than
the L-CO time constant as described in Equation 4.

ǸL
CO
(seconds)
(4)
There is a direct correlation between tSTART and the input current required during start-up. The faster tSTART, the
higher the input current required during start-up. This relationship is describe in more detail in the section titled,
Programming the Current Limit which follows. The soft-start capacitance, CSS, is described in Equation 5.
For applications in which the VIN supply ramps up slowly, (typically between 50 ms and 100 ms) it may be
necessary to increase the soft-start time to between approximately 2 ms and 5 ms to prevent nuisance UVLO
tripping. The soft-start time should be longer than the time that the VINsupply transitions between 6 V and 7 V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
PROGRAMMING CURRENT LIMIT
This device uses a two-tier approach for overcurrent protection. The first tier is a pulse-by-pulse protection
scheme. Current limit is implemented on the high-side MOSFET by sensing the voltage drop across the
MOSFET when the gate is driven low. The MOSFET voltage is compared to the voltage dropped across a
resistor connected from VIN pin to the ILIM pin when driven by a constant current sink. If the voltage drop across
the MOSFET exceeds the voltage drop across the ILIM resistor, the switching pulse is immediately terminated.
The MOSFET remains off until the next switching cycle is initiated.
The second tier consists of a fault counter. The fault counter is incremented on an overcurrent pulse and
decremented on a clock cycle without an overcurrent pulse. When the counter reaches seven (7) a restart is
issued and seven soft-start cycles are initiated. Both the upper and lower MOSFETs are turned off during this
period. The counter is decremented on each soft-start cycle. When the counter is decremented to zero, the PWM
is re-enabled. If the fault has been removed the output starts up normally. If the output is still present the counter
counts seven overcurrent pulses and re-enters the second-tier fault mode. See Figure 6 for typical overcurrent
protection waveforms.

CALCULATING THE BPN10 AN BP10V BYPASS CAPACITOR
The BPN10 capacitance provides a local, low impedance source for the high-side driver. The BPN10 capacitor
should be a good quality, high-frequency capacitor. The size of the bypass capacitor depends on the total gate
charge of the MOSFET and the amount of droop allowed on the bypass capacitor. The BPN10 capacitance is

SYNCHRONIZING TO AN EXTERNAL SUPPLY
The TPS4006x can be synchronized to an external clock through the SYNC pin. The SW node rises on the
falling edge of the SYNC signal. The synchronization frequency should be in the range of 20% to 30% higher
than its programmed free-run frequency. The clock frequency at the SYNC pin replaces the master clock
generated by the oscillator circuit. Pulling the SYNC pin low programs the TPS4006x to freely run at the
frequency programmed by RT.
Internally, the SYNC pin has a pull-down current between 5 µA and 10 µA. In order to synchronize the device to
an external clock signal, the SYNC pin has to be overdriven from the external clock circuit. Normal logic gates or
an external MOSFET with a pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ is adequate.
Internally there is a delay of between approximately 50 ns and 100 ns from the time the SYNC pin is pulled low
and the HDRV signal goes high to turn on the upper MOSFET. Additionally, there is some delay as the MOSFET
gate charges to turn on the upper MOSFET, typically between 20 ns and 50 ns.
The higher synchronization must be factored in when programming the PWM ramp generator circuit. If the PWM
ramp is interrupted by the SYNC pulse, a UVLO condition is declared and the PWM becomes disabled. Typically
this is of concern under low-line conditions only. In any case, RKFF needs to be adjusted for the higher switching
frequency. In order to specify the correct value for RKFF at the synchronizing frequency, calculate a 'dummy'
value for RT that would cause the oscillator to run at the synchronizing frequency. Do not use this value of RT in
the design.

SELECTING THE INDUCTOR VALUE
The inductor value determines the magnitude of ripple current in the output capacitors as well as the load current
at which the converter enters discontinuous mode. Too large an inductance results in lower ripple current but is
physically larger for the same load current. Too small an inductance results in larger ripple currents and a greater
number of (or more expensive output capacitors for) the same output ripple voltage requirement. A good
compromise is to select the inductance value such that the converter doesn't enter discontinuous mode until the
load approximated somewhere between 10% and 30% of the rated output. The inductance value is described in
Equation 12.

CALCULATING THE OUTPUT CAPACITANCE
The output capacitance depends on the output ripple voltage requirement, output ripple current, as well as any
output voltage deviation requirement during a load transient.

ripple is described in Equation 13.

The output ripple voltage is typically between 90% and 95% due to the ESR component.
The output capacitance requirement typically increases in the presence of a load transient requirement. During a
step load, the output capacitance must provide energy to the load (light to heavy load step) or absorb excess
inductor energy (heavy-to-light load step) while maintaining the output voltage within acceptable limits. The
amount of capacitance depends on the magnitude of the load step, the speed of the loop and the size of the
inductor.
Stepping the load from a heavy load to a light load results in an output overshoot. Excess energy stored in the
inductor must be absorbed by the output capacitance. The energy stored in the inductor is described in
Equation 14 and Equation 15.

Voltage-mode buck-type converters are typically compensated using Type III networks. Since the TPS40060 and

be included. The modulator gain is described in Figure 7, with VIN being the minimum input voltage required to
cause the ramp excursion to cover the entire switching period.

Typically, fC is selected to be close to the midpoint between the L-CO double pole and the ESR zero. At this
frequency, the control to output gain has a –2 slope (-40 dB/decade), while the Type III topology has a +1 slope
(20 dB/decade), resulting in an overall closed loop –1 slope (–20 dB/decade). Figure 9 shows the modulator
gain, L-C filter, output capacitor ESR zero, and the resulting response to be compensated.
A Type III topology, shown in Figure 10, has two zero-pole pairs in addition to a pole at the origin. The gain and
phase boost of a Type III topology is shown in Figure 11. The two zeros are used to compensate the L-CO
double pole and provide phase boost. The double pole is used to compensate for the ESR zero and provide
controlled gain roll-off. In many cases the second pole can be eliminated and the amplifier's gain roll-off used to
roll-off the overall gain at higher frequencies.

dv/dt INDUCED TURN-ON
MOSFETs are susceptible to dv/dt turn-on particularly in high-voltage (VDS) applications. The turn-on is caused
by the capacitor divider that is formed by CGD and CGS. High dv/dt conditions and drain-to-source voltage, on the
MOSFET causes current flow through CGD and causes the gate-to-source voltage to rise. If the gate-to-source
voltage rises above the MOSFET threshold voltage, the MOSFET turns on, resulting in large shoot-through
currents. Therefore the SR MOSFET should be chosen so that the CGD capacitance is smaller than the CGS
capacitance. A 2-Ω to 5-Ω resistor in the upper MOSFET gate lead shapes the turn-on and dv/dt of the SW node
and helps reduce the induced turn-on.
HIGH-SIDE MOSFET POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipated in the external high-side MOSFET is comprised of conduction and switching losses. The

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
THE PowerPAD™ PACKAGE
The PowerPAD package provides low thermal impedance for heat removal from the device. The PowerPAD
derives its name and low thermal impedance from the large bonding pad on the bottom of the device. For
maximum thermal performance, the circuit board must have an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the
package. The dimensions of this area depends on the size of the PowerPAD package. For a 16-pin TSSOP
(PWP) package the dimensions of the circuit board pad are 5 mm x 3.4 mm. The dimensions of the package pad
are shown in Figure 13.
Thermal vias connect this area to internal or external copper planes and should have a drill diameter sufficiently
small so that the via hole is effectively plugged when the barrel of the via is plated with copper. This plug is
needed to prevent wicking the solder away from the interface between the package body and the solder-tinned
area under the device during solder reflow. Drill diameters of 0.33 mm (13 mils) works well when 1-oz copper is
plated at the surface of the board while simultaneously plating the barrel of the via. If the thermal vias are not
plugged when the copper plating is performed, then a solder mask material should be used to cap the vias with a
diameter equal to the via diameter of 0.1 mm minimum. This capping prevents the solder from being wicked
through the thermal vias and potentially creating a solder void under the package. Refer to PowerPAD Thermally
Enhanced Package[2] for more information on the PowerPAD package.

MOSFET PACKAGING
MOSFET package selection depends on MOSFET power dissipation and the projected operating conditions. In
general, for a surface-mount applications, the DPAK style package provides the lowest thermal impedance (θJA)
and, therefore, the highest power dissipation capability. However, the effectiveness of the DPAK depends on
proper layout and thermal management. The θJAspecified in the MOSFET data sheet refers to a given copper
area and thickness. In most cases, a thermal impedance of 40°C/W requires one square inch of 2-ounce copper
on a G-10/FR-4 board. Lower thermal impedances can be achieved at the expense of board area. Please refer
to the selected MOSFET's data sheet for more information regarding proper mounting.
GROUNDING AND CIRCUIT LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The device provides separate signal ground (SGND) and power ground (PGND) pins. It is important that circuit
grounds are properly separated. Each ground should consist of a plane to minimize its impedance if possible.
The high power noisy circuits such as the output, synchronous rectifier, MOSFET driver decoupling capacitor
(BP10), and the input capacitor should be connected to PGND plane at the input capacitor.
Sensitive nodes such as the FB resistor divider, RT, and ILIM should be connected to the SGND plane. The
SGND plane should only make a single point connection to the PGND plane.
Component placement should ensure that bypass capacitors (BP10, BP5, and BPN10) are located as close as
possible to their respective power and ground pins. Also, sensitive circuits such as FB, RT and ILIM should not
be located near high dv/dt nodes such as HDRV, LDRV, BPN10, and the switch node (SW).

CALCULATING THE BPN10 AND BP10V BYPASS CAPACITANCE
The size of the bypass capacitor depends on the total gate charge of the MOSFET being used and the amount
of droop allowed on the bypass capacitor. The BPN10 capacitance, allowing for a 0.5-V droop on the BPN10 pin
from Equation 8 is shown in Equation 78.

For this application, a 0.1-µF capacitor was used for the BPN10V and a 1.0-µF was used for the BP10V bypass
ccapacitor. Figure 14 shows component selection for the 18-V through 55-V to 3.3-V at 5-A dc-to-dc converter
specified in the design example.
GATE DRIVE CONFIGURATION
Due to the possibility of dv/dt induced turn-on from the fast MOSFET switching times, high VDS voltage and low
gate threshold voltage of the Si4470, the design includes a 2-Ω in the gate lead of the upper MOSFET. The
resistor can be used to shape the low-to-high transition of the SWitch node and reduce the tendancy of
dv/dt-induced turn on.
