DESCRIPTION
The TPS40132 is a two-phase synchronous buck
controller that is optimized for low-output voltage,
high-output current applications powered from a
supply between 1 V and 40 V. A multi-phase
converter offers several advantages over a single
power stage including lower current ripple on the
input and output capacitors, faster transient response
to load steps, improved power handling capabilities,
and higher system efficiency.
Each phase can be operated at a switching frequency
up to 1 MHz, resulting in an effective ripple frequency
of up to 2 MHz at the input and the output. The two
phases operates 180 degrees out-of-phase.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TPS40132 uses programmable fixed-frequency, peak current mode control with forced phase current
balancing. Phase current is sensed by using either the DCR (direct current resistance) of the filter inductors or
current sense resistors installed in series with output. The first method involves generation of a current signal
with an R-C circuit (shown in the applications diagram). The R-C values are selected by matching time constants
of the RC circuit and the inductor time constant, R×C = L/DCR. With either current sense method, the current
signal is amplified and superimposed on the amplified voltage error signal to provide current mode PWM control.
Other features include: a true differential output sense amplifier, programmable current limit, programmable
output over-voltage set-point, capacitor set soft-start, power good indicator, programmable input undervoltage
lockout (UVLO), user programmable operation frequency for design flexibility, external synchronization capability,
programmable pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection, output undervoltage shutdown and restart.

eases layout constraints. The output voltage is sensed between the VOUT and GSNS pins. The output voltage
programming divider is connected to the output of the amplifier (DIFFO).
If there is no need for a differential amplifier, the differential amplifier can be disabled by connecting the GSNS
pin to the BP5 pin and leaving VOUT and DIFFO open. The voltage programming divider in this case should be
connected directly to the output of the converter. The overall system accuracy will be degraded without using the
internal differential amplifier.

Current Sensing and Balancing (U1, U9 and U18)
The controller employs peak current mode control scheme, thus naturally provides certain degree of current
balancing. With current mode, the level of current feedback should comply with certain guidelines depending on
duty factor known as “slope compensation” to avoid the sub-harmonic instability. This requirement can prohibit
achieving a higher degree of phase current balance. To avoid the controversy, a separate current loop that
forces phase currents to match is added to the proprietary control scheme. This effectively provides high degree
of current sharing independent of the controller’s small signal response and is implemented in U9, ICTLR. The
useable range of the controller bandwidth is also extended.
High bandwidth current amplifiers, U1 and U18 can accept as an input voltage either the voltage drop across
dedicated precise current sense resistors, or inductor’s DCR voltage derived by an RC network. The wide range
of current sense arrangements ease the cost/complexity constraints and provides superior performance
compared to controllers utilizing the low-side MOSFET current sensing. See the Inductor DCR Current Sense
section for more information on selecting component values for the R-C network.
Hiccup Mode
When the soft-start cycle is complete and soft-start voltage exceeds 1 V, the hiccup mode is enabled for output
overcurrent and undervoltage protection. The hiccup mode is invoked when overcurrent or undervoltage faults
are detected. the hiccup mode allows a time for a fault to clear itself, for instance, a momentary short circuit on
the output. The hiccup mode consists of 7 cycles of charging and discharging the soft-start capacitor, and then
attempting a re-start. If the fault has been cleared, the re-start causes the output to come up in regulation. If the
fault has not been cleared, the hiccup mode is initiated again, and another restart occurs after another 7
soft-start cycles.
PowerGood
The PGOOD pin indicates when the inputs and output are within their specified ranges of operation. Also
monitored are the EN/SYNC and SS pins. PGOOD has high impedance when indicating inputs and outputs are
within specified limits and is pulled low to indicate an out-of-limits condition. .
Soft-Start
A capacitor connected to the soft start pin (SS) sets the power-up time. When EN is high and POR is cleared,
the calibrated current source starts charging the external soft start capacitor. The PGOOD pin is held low during
the start up. The rising voltage across the capacitor serves as a reference for the error amplifier, U12. When the
soft-start voltage reaches the level of the reference voltage, the converter’s output reaches the regulation point
and further voltage rise of the soft start voltage has no effect on the output. When the soft start voltage reaches
1.0 V, the power good (PGOOD) function is cleared to be reported on the PGOOD pin. Normally the PGOOD pin
goes high at this time. Equation 1 is used to calculate the value of the soft-start capacitor.

Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent function, U19, monitors the output of current sense amplifiers U1 and U18. These currents are
converted to voltages and compared to the voltage on the ILIM pin. The relationship between the maximum
phase current and the current sense resistance is given in the following equation. In case a threshold of
VILIM/3.75 is exceeded the PWM cycle on the associated phase is terminated. The overcurrent threshold, IPH(max),
and the voltage to set on the ILIM pin is determined by Equation 2 and Equation 3.

RCS is a value of the current sense resistor used or the DCR value of the output inductor, LOUT
If the overcurrent condition persists, both phases have PWM cycles terminated by the overcurrent signals. This
puts a converter in a constant current mode with the output current programmed by the ILIM voltage. A counter is
incremented for each PWM cycle in which an overcurrent event is detected. The counter is reset every 32 PWM
cycles. If the counter accumulates a count of 7 before being reset, the converter enters a hiccup mode. The
HDRV and LDRV signals are set low during the hiccup mode.
The SS capacitor serves as a hiccup timing capacitor controlled by U20, the fault control circuit. The soft-start pin
is periodically charged and discharged by U20. After seven hiccup cycles, the controller attempts another
soft-start cycle to restore normal operation. If the overload condition persists, the controller returns to the hiccup
mode. This condition may continue indefinitely. In such conditions the average current delivered to the load is
approximately 1/8 of the set overcurrent value.
Overvoltage Protection, Non-Latching
The voltage on OVSET is compared with 0.675 V, 12.5% higher than VREF, in U25 to determine the output
overvoltage point. When an overvoltage is detected, the output drivers command the upper MOSFETs off and
the lower MOSFETs on. If the overvoltage condition has been cleared, the output comes up and normal
operation continues. Turning the lower MOSFET on may cause the output to reach an undervoltage condition
and enter the hiccup mode. Using a voltage divider with the same ratio, that sets the output voltage, an output
overvoltage is declared when the output rises 12.5% above nominal.
Output Undervoltage Protection
If the output voltage, as sensed by U19 on the FB pin becomes less than 0.504 V, the undervoltage protection
threshold (84% of VREF), the controller enters the hiccup mode.
Programmable Input Undervoltage Lockout Protection
A voltage divider that sets 1V on the UVLO pin determines when the controller starts operating. Operation
commences when the voltage on the UVLO pin exceeds 1.0 V. If the voltage on the UVLO pin falls to 0.81 V, the
controller is turned off and the HDRV and LDRV signals are set low.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The power-on reset (POR) function, U22, insures the VIN5 and BP5 voltages are within their regulation windows
before the controller is allowed to start.
Fault Masking Operation
If the SS pin voltage is externally limited below the 1-V threshold, the controller only responds to overcurrent and
overvoltage protection, and the PGOOD output is always low. The overcurrent protection continues to terminate
the PWM cycle every time the threshold is exceeded, but the hiccup mode is not entered.

INDUCTOR DCR CURRENT SENSE
The preferred method for sampling the output current for the TPS40132 is known as the inductor DCR method.
This is a lossless approach, as opposed to using a discrete current sense resistor which occupies board area
and impacts efficiency as well. The inductor DCR implementation is shown in Figure 5.

The inductor L1 consists of inductance, L, and resistance, DCR. The time constant of the inductor: L / DCR
should equal the R1×C1 time constant. Then choosing a value for C1 (0.1 µF is a good choice) solving for R1 is
shown in Equation 11.

As the DC load increases the majority of the voltage, VC, is determined by (IOC ×DCR), where IOC is the per

exceed 60 mV, the maximum differential input voltage. If the voltage VC exceeds 60 mV, a resistor, R2, can be
added in parallel with C1 as shown in Figure 6. Adding R2 reduces the equivalent inductor DCR by the ratio

APPLICATION INFORMATION
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Power Stage
A synchronous BUCK power stage has two primary current loops. One is the input current loop that carries high
AC discontinuous current . The other is the output current loop that carries high DC continuous current.
The input current loop includes
capacitors and the ground path
generally good practice to place
MOSFET and the source of the
MOSFETs.
the input capacitors, the main switching MOSFET, the inductor, the output
back to the input capacitors. To keep this loop as small as possible, it is
some ceramic capacitance directly between the drain of the main switching
synchronous rectifier (SR) through a power ground plane directly under the
The output current loop includes the SR MOSFET, the inductor, the output capacitors, and the ground return
between the output capacitors and the source of the SR MOSFET. As with the input current loop, the ground
return between the output capacitor ground and the source of the SR MOSFET should be routed under the
inductor and SR MOSFET to minimize the power loop area.
The SW node area should be as small as possible to reduce the parasitic capacitance and minimize the radiated
emissions. The gate drive loop impedance (HDRV-gate-source-SW and LDRV-gate-source- GND) should be
kept to as low as possible. The HDRV and LDRV connections should widen to 20 mils as soon as possible out
from the device's pin.
Device Peripheral
The TPS40132 provides separate signal ground (GND) and power ground (PGND) pins. It is required to separate
properly the circuit grounds. The return path for the pins associated with the power stage should be through
PGND. The other pins especially for those sensitive pins such as FB, RT and ILIM should be through the low
noise GND. The GND and PGND plane are suggested to be connected at the output capacitor with single 20 mil
trace.
A minimum 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor must be placed as close to the VDD pin and GND as possible with at least
15-mil wide trace from the bypass capacitor to the GND. A 1-µF ceramic capacitor should be placed as close to
VIN5 pin and GND as possible.
BP5 is the filtered input from the VIN5 pin. A 10 Ω resistor should be connected between VIN5 and BP5 and a
1-µF ceramic capacitor should be connected from BP5 to GND. Both components should be as close to BP5 pin
as possible.
When DCR sensing method is applied, the sensing resistor is placed close to the SW node. It is connected to the
inductor with Kelvin connection. The sensing traces from the power stage to the device should be away from the
switching components. The sensing capacitor should be placed very close to the CS and CSRT pins. The
frequency setting resistor should be placed as close to RT pin and GND as possible.
The VOUT and GSNS pins should be directly connected to the point of load where the voltage regulation is
required. A parallel pair of 10-mil traces connects the regulated voltage back to the chip. They should be away
from the switching components. The PowerPAD™ should be electrically connected to GND. Figure 7 shows the
device peripheral schematic and Figure 8 shows the suggested layout.
The resistance value of R7 in Figure 7 and Figure 8 can be zero. R7 provides more flexibility for loop gain
measurement by using a low resistance value.

PowerPAD™ Layout
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. The circuit
board must have an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the package. The dimensions of this area depend
on the size of the PowerPAD™ package.
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 plus 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 (SLMA002) for more information on the PowerPAD™ package.

Typically the peak-to-peak inductor current IRIPPLE is selected to be around 20% of the rated output current. In
this design, IRIPPLE is targeted at 23% of IPHASE. The calculated inductor is 0.815 µH and in practical a 0.82-µH,
30-A inductor with 2-mΩ DCR from Vishay is selected. The real inductor ripple current is 4.63 A.
Step 2: Output Capacitor Section
The output capacitor is typically selected by the output load transient response requirement. Equation 16
estimates the minimum capacitor to reach the undervoltage requirement with load step up. Equation 17
estimates the minimum capacitor for overvoltage requirement with load step down. When VIN(min) < 2×VOUT, the
minimum output capacitance can be calculated using Equation 16. Otherwise, Equation 17 is used.

In this design, VIN(min) is much larger than 2 × VOUT, so Equation 17 is used to determine the minimum
capacitance. Based on a 15-A load transient with a maximum of 80-mV deviation, a minimum 1-mF output
capacitor is required. In the design, six 180-µF, 6.3-V SP capacitors are selected to meet this requirement. Each
capacitor has an ESR of 5 mΩ.
Due to the interleaving of channels, the total output ripple current is smaller than the ripple current from a single
phase. The ripple cancellation factor is expressed in Equation 18.
DIOUT (D) =
1- 2 ´ D ´ 2 - 2 ´ D

With 1.08-mF output capacitance, the ripple voltage at the capacitor is calculated to be 1.34 mV. In the
specification, the output ripple voltage should be less than 30 mV, so based on the following equation, the
required maximum ESR is 7.1 mΩ. The selected capacitors can meet this requirement.

Step 3: Input Capacitor Selection
The input voltage ripple depends on input capacitance and ESR. The minimum capacitor and the maximum ESR
can be estimated using Equation 21.
CIN(min) =
ESR Cin =
IOUT ´ VOUT
VRIPPLE(CIN) ´ VIN ´ fSW
(21)
VRIPPLE(CinESR)
IOUT +
((12 )´ IRIPPLE )
(22)
For this design, assume VRIPPLE(Cin) is 60 mV and VRIPPLE(CinESR) is 30 mV, so the calculated minimum
capacitance is 120-µF and the maximum ESR is 1.35 mΩ. Choosing six 22-µF, 16V, 2-mΩ ESR ceramic
capacitors meets this requirement.
Another important thing for the input capacitor is the RMS ripple current rating. Due to the interleaving of
multi-phase, the input RMS current is reduced. The input ripple current RMS value over load current is calculated
using Equation 23.
DIIN (D) = D ´ (0.5 - D) ´ IOUT
(23)
So in this design, the maximum input ripple RMS current is calculated to be 8.96 A with the minimum input
voltage. It is about 35% reduction compared with a 40-A single-phase converter design. Each selected ceramic
capacitor has a RMS current rating of 4.3 A, so it is sufficient to meet this requirement.
Step 4: MOSFET Selection
The MOSFET selection determines the converter efficiency. In this design, the duty cycle is very small so that
the high-side MOSFET is dominated with switching losses and the low-side MOSFET is dominated with
conduction loss. To optimize the efficiency, choose smaller gate charge for the high-side MOSFET and smaller
RDS(on) for the low-side MOSFET. Renesas HAT2167H and HAT2164H are selected as the high-side and
low-side MOSFET respectively.
In the following calculations, only the losses for one phase are shown. The power losses in the high-side
MOSFET is calculated with the following equations.
The RMS current in the high-side MOSFET is shown in Equation 24.

This condition is satisfied in this design. Both CSRT1 and CSRT2 are recommended to connect to GND with a
1-µF capacitor for the purpose of eliminating noise.
ILIM (Pin 15) Current Limit
The overcurrent protection level is calculated with equations below.
IPK = IOC(dc ) +
(VIN - VOUT )´ VOUT
2 ´ L ´ fSW ´ VIN
= 27.32 A
(37)
VILIM = 3.75 ´ IPK ´ DCR = 205mV
(38)
IOC(dc) is the DC overcurrent protection level for each phase. In this design, it is 25 A per phase. DCR is 2 mΩ. A
resistor divider is connected from VREF (pin 9) to GND to provide an accurate VILIM voltage. Choose a value of 10
kΩ for the top resistor, and then the bottom resistor is calculated using Equation 39.

OVSET (Pin 2) Output Voltage Setting
A resistor divider is connected from VOUT to GND to set the overvoltage protection threshold. In this design, the
resistor divider is the same as the output voltage setting resistor divider, so the OVSET level is 12.5% of the set
output voltage.
UVLO (Pin 22) Undervoltage Lockout
UVLO is connected to the input voltage and GND with a resistor divider. The resistor connected to VIN is chosen
to be 10 kΩ and the resistor connected to GND is selected to be a value of 2.49 kΩ. When the input voltage is
higher than 5 V, the chip is enabled.
PGOOD (Pin 16) Powergood
PGOOD is connected to BP5 with a 10-kΩ resistor.
VOUT, GSNS and DIFFO (Pin 3) (Pin 4) (Pin 5)
VOUT and GSNS are connected to the remote sensing output connector. DIFFO is connected to the feedback
resistor divider. If the differential amplifier is not used, VOUT and GSNS should be grounded, and DIFFO is left
open.

BOOT1, BOOT2, SW1, SW2 (Pin 1) (Pin 24) (Pin 31) (Pin 26)
A bootstrap capacitor is connected between the BOOT1 and SW1 pin or between BOOT2 and SW2 pin. The
bootstrap capacitor depends on the total gate charge of the high-side MOSFET and the amount of droop allowed
on the bootstrap capacitor.

•
Qg is 17nC
ΔV is 0.2 V
For this application, a 0.1-µF capacitor is selected. To reduce the turn on speed of the high-side MOSFET and
control the ringing, a 2-Ω resistor is placed in series with the BOOT pin.
EN/SYNC (Pin 14) Enable and Synchronization
This pin is either tied to BP5 to enable the chip or connected to an external clock.
VREF EA+ (Pin 9) (Pin 10) Voltage Reference and Error Amplifier
VREF and EA+ are directly connected together. A 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor is recommended.
VDD, VIN5, BP5, BP8, AGND, PGND, PwPd (Pin 12) (Pin 30) (Pin 21) (Pin 13) (Pin 20) (Pin 28) (Pin 33)
VDD is directly connected to VIN and a 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor is recommended.
VIN5 is connected to external +5 V and a 100-µF bulk capacitor and a 1-µF decoupling capacitor are
recommended.
BP5 is filtered from VIN5. A 10-Ω resistor and a 0.1-µF capacitor are recommended for the low pass filter.
BP8 is decoupled with a 0.1-µF capacitor to GND. A
GND and PwPd are tied to analog GND and PGND is tied to power GND.

Assume the desired crossover frequency is 20 kHz. Place one zero at fVCP1 and another zero at fVCP2, then place
one pole at fESRand another pole at fSW. The compensator gain is then calculated to achieve the desired
bandwidth. In this design, the compensator gain, pole and zero are selected using the following equations:

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)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder
temperature.

Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
