It operates using D-CAP2™ mode control. The fast transient response of D-CAP2™ control reduces the output capacitance required to meet a specific level of performance. Proprietary internal circuitry allows the use of low ESR output capacitors including ceramic and special polymer types. DETAILED DESCRIPTION PWM Operation The main control loop of the TPS54425 is an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller that supports a proprietary D-CAP2™ mode control. D-CAP2™ mode control combines constant on-time control with an internal compensation circuit for pseudo-fixed frequency and low external component count configuration with both low ESR and ceramic output capacitors. It is stable even with virtually no ripple at the output. At the beginning of each cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on. This MOSFET is turned off after internal one shot timer expires. This one shot is set by the converter input voltage, VIN, and the output voltage, VO, to maintain a pseudo-fixed frequency over the input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control. The one-shot timer is reset and the high-side MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage. An internal ramp is added to reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the need for ESR induced output ripple from D-CAP2™ mode control. PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control TPS54425 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The TPS54425 runs with a pseudo-constant frequency of 700 kHz by using the input voltage and output voltage to set the on-time one-shot timer. The on-time is inversely proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the output voltage, therefore, when the duty ratio is VOUT/VIN, the frequency is constant. Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start The soft start function is adjustable. When the EN pin becomes high, 2-mA current begins charging the capacitor which is connected from the SS pin to GND. Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during start up. The equation for the slow start time is shown in Equation 1. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is 2 mA. C6(nF) • Vref C6(nF) • 0.765 Tss(ms) = − = − Iss(µA) 2 (1) The TPS54425 contains a unique circuit to prevent current from being pulled from the output during startup if the output is pre-biased. When the soft-start commands a voltage higher than the pre-bias level (internal soft start becomes greater than feedback voltage VFB), the controller slowly activates synchronous rectification by starting the first low side FET gate driver pulses with a narrow on-time. It then increments that on-time on a cycle-by-cycle basis until it coincides with the time dictated by (1-D), where D is the duty cycle of the converter. This scheme prevents the initial sinking of the pre-bias output, and ensure that the out voltage (VO) starts and ramps up smoothly into regulation and the control loop is given time to transition from pre-biased start-up to normal mode operation. Power Good The TPS54425 has power-good open drain output. The power good function is activated after soft start has finished. The power good function becomes active after 1.7 times soft-start time. When the output voltage is within -10% of the target value, internal comparators detect power good state and the power good signal becomes high. The power good output, PG, is an open drain output. If the feedback voltage goes under 15% of the target value, the power good signal becomes low after a 5 ms internal delay. 7 Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54425 TPS54425 SLVSA84 – AUGUST 2010 www.ti.com VREG5 VREG5 is an internally generated voltage source used by the TPS54425. It is derived directly from the input voltage and is nominally regulated to 5.5 V when the input voltage is above 5.6 V. The output of the VREG5 regulator is the input to the internal UVLO function. VREG5 must be above the UVLO wake up threshold voltage (3.8 V typical) for the TPS54425 to function. Connect a 1.0 µF capacitor between pin 3 of the TPS54425 and power ground for proper regulation of the VREG5 output. The VREG5 output voltage is available for external use and can typically source up to 70 mA. The VREG5 output is disabled when the TPS54425 EN pin is open or pulled low. Output Discharge Control TPS54425 discharges the output when EN is low, or the controller is turned off by the protection functions (OVP, UVP, UVLO and thermal shutdown). The output is discharged by an internal 50-Ω MOSFET which is connected from VO to PGND. The internal low-side MOSFET is not turned on during the output discharge operation to avoid the possibility of causing negative voltage at the output. Current Protection Output current is limited by cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF state and the controller keeps the OFF state when the inductor current is larger than the over current trip level. To provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, the device supports temperature compensated internal MOSFET RDS(on) sensing. The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between PGND pin and SW1/SW2 pin. In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor; thus, the output voltage tends to fall off. Eventually, it will end up with crossing the undervoltage protection threshold and shutdown. Over/Under Voltage Protection TPS54425 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect over and under voltage. When the feedback voltage becomes higher than 120% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit latches as the high-side MOSFET driver turns off and the low-side MOSFET turns on. When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 65% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes high and an internal UVP delay counter begins. After 250 ms, the device latches off both internal top and bottom MOSFET. This function is enabled approximately 1.7 x softstart time. UVLO Protection Undervoltage lock out protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS54425 is shut off. This is protection is non-latching. Thermal Shutdown TPS54425 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 165°C), the device is shut off. This is non-latch protection. 8 Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54425 TPS54425 www.ti.com SLVSA84 – AUGUST 2010 TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS VCC CURRENT vs JUNCTION TEMPERATURE VCC SHUTDOWN CURRENT vs JUNCTION TEMPERATURE 1200 8 Ivccsdn - Shutdown Current - mA ICC - Supply Current - mA 1000 800 600 400 200 0 -50 0 50 100 TJ - Junction Temperature - °C 6 4 2 0 -50 150 0 50 100 TJ - Junction Temperature - °C Figure 1.

Shows the schematic diagram for this design example. Output Voltage Resistors Selection The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. It is recommended to use 1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start by using Equation 2 and Equation 3 to calculate VOUT. To improve efficiency at very light loads consider using larger value resistors, too high of resistance will be more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VFB input current will be more noticeable. For output voltage from 0.76 V to 2.5 V: R1 VOUT = 0.765 • 1 + − R2 ( ) (2) For output voltage over 2.5 V: ( R1 ¾ VOUT = (0.763 + 0.0017 · VOUT_SET) · 1 + R2 ) (3) Where: VOUT_SET = Target VOUT voltage. Output Filter Selection The output filter used with the TPS54425 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at: FP = 1 2p LOUT ´ COUT (4) 12 Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54425 TPS54425 www.ti.com SLVSA84 – AUGUST 2010 At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal gain of the TPS54425. The low frequency phase is 180 degrees. At the output filter pole frequency, the gain rolls off at a -40 dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. D-CAP2™ introduces a high frequency zero that reduces the gain roll off to -20 dB per decade and increases the phase to 90 degrees one decade above the zero frequency. The inductor and capacitor selected for the output filter must be selected so that the double pole of Equation 4 is located below the high frequency zero but close enough that the phase boost provided be the high frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. To meet this requirement use the values recommended in Table 1 Table 1. Recommended Component Values Output Voltage (V) R1 (kΩ) R2 (kΩ) L1 (µH) C8 + C9 (µF) 1 6.81 22.1 C4 (pF) 1.5 22 - 68 1.05 8.25 22.1 1.5 22 - 68 1.2 12.7 22.1 1.5 22 - 68 1.8 30.1 22.1 10 - 22 2.2 22 - 68 2.5 49.9 22.1 10 - 22 2.2 22 - 68 3.3 73.2 22.1 10 - 22 2.2 22 - 68 5 121 22.1 10 - 22 3.3 22 - 68 Since the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value will increase as the output voltage increases. For higher output voltages at or above 1.8 V, additional phase boost can be achieved by adding a feed forward capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1 The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 5, Equation 6 and Equation 7. The inductor saturation current rating must be greater than the calculated peak current and the RMS or heating current rating must be greater than the calculated RMS current. Use 700 kHz for fSW. Use 700 kHz for fSW. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 6 and the RMS current of Equation 7.

The inductor used is a TDK SPM6530-1R5M100 with a peak current rating of 11.5 A and an RMS current rating of 11 A. The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54425 is intended for use with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 22uF to 68uF. Use Equation 8 to determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor. VOUT • (VIN - VOUT) ICO(RMS) =− − √12 • VIN • LO • fSW (8) For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22uF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each. The calculated RMS current is 0.271A and each output capacitor is rated for 4A. Input Capacitor Selection The TPS54425 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is needed depending on the application. A ceramic capacitor over 10 mF is recommended for the decoupling capacitor. An additional 0.1 µF capacitor from pin 14 to ground is recommended to improve the stability of the over-current limit function. The capacitor voltage rating needs to be greater than the maximum input voltage. 13 Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54425 TPS54425 SLVSA84 – AUGUST 2010 www.ti.com Bootstrap Capacitor Selection A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VBST to SW pin for proper operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor. VREG5 Capacitor Selection A 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 to GND pin for proper operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor. THERMAL INFORMATION This PowerPad™ package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be directly to an external heartsick.
