OVERVIEW The TPS54319 is a 6-V, 3-A, synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated n-channel MOSFETs. To improve performance during line and load transients the device implements a constant frequency, peak current mode control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency compensation design. The wide switching frequency of 300 kHz to 2000 kHz allows for efficiency and size optimization when selecting the output filter components. The switching frequency is adjusted using a resistor to ground on the RT/CLK pin. The device has an internal phase lock loop (PLL) on the RT/CLK pin that is used to synchronize the power switch turn on to a falling edge of an external system clock. The TPS54319 has a typical default start up voltage of 2.6 V. The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source that can be used to adjust the input voltage under voltage lockout (UVLO) with two external resistors. In addition, the pull up current provides a default condition when the EN pin is floating for the device to operate. The total operating current for the TPS54319 is typically 360 mA when not switching and under no load. When the device is disabled, the supply current is less than 5 mA. The integrated 45 mΩ MOSFETs allow for high efficiency power supply designs with continuous output currents up to 3 amperes. The TPS54319 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias voltage for the integrated high side MOSFET is supplied by a capacitor between the BOOT and PH pins. The boot capacitor voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and turns off the high side MOSFET when the voltage falls below a preset threshold. This BOOT circuit allows the TPS54319 to operate approaching 100%. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the 0.827 V reference. The TPS54319 has a power good comparator (PWRGD) with 2% hysteresis. The TPS54319 minimizes excessive output over-voltage transients by taking advantage of the over-voltage power good comparator. When the regulated output voltage is greater than 107% of the nominal voltage, the over-voltage comparator is activated, and the high side MOSFET is turned off and masked from turning on until the output voltage is lower than 105%. The SS/TR (slow start/tracking) pin is used to minimize inrush currents or provide power supply sequencing during power up. A small value capacitor should be coupled to the pin for slow start. The SS/TR pin is discharged before the output power up to ensure a repeatable restart after an over-temperature fault, UVLO fault or disabled condition. The use of a frequency fold-back circuit reduces the switching frequency during startup and over current fault conditions to help limit the inductor current. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 TPS54319 www.ti.com SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIXED FREQUENCY PWM CONTROL The TPS54319 uses an adjustable fixed frequency, peak current mode control. The output voltage is compared through external resistors on the VSENSE pin to an internal voltage reference by an error amplifier which drives the COMP pin. An internal oscillator initiates the turn on of the high side power switch. The error amplifier output is compared to the high side power switch current. When the power switch current reaches the COMP voltage level the high side power switch is turned off and the low side power switch is turned on. The COMP pin voltage increases and decreases as the output current increases and decreases. The device implements a current limit by clamping the COMP pin voltage to a maximum level and also implements a minimum clamp for improved transient response performance. SLOPE COMPENSATION AND OUTPUT CURRENT The TPS54319 adds a compensating ramp to the switch current signal. This slope compensation prevents sub-harmonic oscillations as duty cycle increases. The available peak inductor current remains constant over the full duty cycle range. BOOTSTRAP VOLTAGE (BOOT) AND LOW DROPOUT OPERATION The TPS54319 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and PH pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high side MOSFET. The value of the ceramic capacitor should be 0.1 mF. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 10 V or higher is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage. To improve drop out, the TPS54319 is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage is greater than 2.2 V. The high side MOSFET is turned off using an UVLO circuit, allowing for the low side MOSFET to conduct when the voltage from BOOT to PH drops below 2.2 V. Since the supply current sourced from the BOOT pin is very low, the high side MOSFET can remain on for more switching cycles than are required to refresh the capacitor, thus the effective duty cycle of the switching regulator is very high. ERROR AMPLIFIER The TPS54319 has a transconductance amplifier. The error amplifier compares the VSENSE voltage to the lower of the SS/TR pin voltage or the internal 0.827 V voltage reference. The transconductance of the error amplifier is 245mA/V during normal operation. When the voltage of VSENSE pin is below 0.827 V and the device is regulating using the SS/TR voltage, the gm is typically greater than 79 mA/V, but less than 245 mA/V. The frequency compensation components are placed between the COMP pin and ground. VOLTAGE REFERENCE The voltage reference system produces a precise ±3.0% voltage reference over temperature by scaling the output of a temperature-stable bandgap circuit. The bandgap and scaling circuits produce 0.827 V at the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE pin. It is recommended to use divider resistors with 1% tolerance or better. Start with a 100 kΩ for the R1 resistor and use the Equation 1 to calculate R2. To improve efficiency at very light loads consider using larger value resistors. If the values are too high the regulator is more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VSENSE input current are noticeable. vertical spacer vertical spacer æ ö 0.827 V R2 = R1 ´ ç ÷ è VO - 0.827 V ø (1) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 11 TPS54319 SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 www.ti.com TPS54319 VO R1 VSENSE – R2 0.827 V + Figure 22. Voltage Divider Circuit ENABLE AND ADJUSTING UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT The TPS54319 is disabled when the VIN pin voltage falls below 2.6 V. If an application requires a higher under-voltage lockout (UVLO), use the EN pin as shown in Figure 23 to adjust the input voltage UVLO by using two external resistors. The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source that provides the default condition of the TPS54319 operating when the EN pin floats. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds 1.25 V, an additional 3.4 mA of hysteresis is added. When the EN pin is pulled below 1.18 V, the 3.4 mA is removed. This additional current facilitates input voltage hysteresis. TPS54319 i hys VIN 3.4 mA i1 R1 1.2 mA + EN R2 – Figure 23.

A capacitor on the SS/TR pin to ground implements a slow start time. The TPS54319 has an internal pull-up current source of 2.2mA which charges the external slow start capacitor.

When the VIN goes above UVLO, EN is released or pulled high, or a thermal shutdown is exited, then SS/TR is discharged to below 40 mV before reinitiating a powering up sequence. The VSENSE voltage will follow the SS/TR pin voltage with a 35mV offset up to 85% of the internal voltage reference. When the SS/TR voltage is greater than 85% on the internal reference voltage the offset increases as the effective system reference transitions from the SS/TR voltage to the internal voltage reference. SEQUENCING Many of the common power supply sequencing methods can be implemented using the SS/TR, EN and PWRGD pins. The sequential method can be implemented using an open drain or collector output of a power on reset pin of another device. Figure 24 shows the sequential method. The power good is coupled to the EN pin on the TPS54319 which enables the second power supply once the primary supply reaches regulation. Ratio-metric start up can be accomplished by connecting the SS/TR pins together. The regulator outputs ramp up and reach regulation at the same time. When calculating the slow start time the pull up current source must be doubled in Equation 4. The ratio metric method is illustrated in Figure 26.

Schematic for Ratio-metric Start-Up Sequence vertical spacer Figure 27. Ratio-metric Startup with Vout1 Leading Vout2 Ratio-metric and simultaneous power supply sequencing can be implemented by connecting the resistor network of R1 and R2 shown in Figure 28 to the output of the power supply that needs to be tracked or another voltage reference source. Using Equation 5 and Equation 6, the tracking resistors can be calculated to initiate the Vout2 slightly before, after or at the same time as Vout1. Equation 7 is the voltage difference between Vout1 and Vout2. The ΔV variable is zero volts for simultaneous sequencing. To minimize the effect of the inherent SS/TR to VSENSE offset (Vssoffset) in the slow start circuit and the offset created by the pullup current source (Iss) and tracking resistors, the Vssoffset and Iss are included as variables in the equations. To design a ratio-metric start up in which the Vout2 voltage is slightly greater than the Vout1 voltage when Vout2 reaches regulation, use a negative number in Equation 5 through Equation 7 for ΔV. Equation 7 will result in a positive number for applications which the Vout2 is slightly lower than Vout1 when Vout2 regulation is achieved. Since the SS/TR pin must be pulled below 40mV before starting after an EN, UVLO or thermal shutdown fault, careful selection of the tracking resistors is needed to ensure the device will restart after a fault. Make sure the calculated R1 value from Equation 5 is greater than the value calculated in Equation 8 to ensure the device can recover from a fault. As the SS/TR voltage becomes more than 85% of the nominal reference voltage the Vssoffset becomes larger as the slow start circuits gradually handoff the regulation reference to the internal voltage reference. The SS/TR pin voltage needs to be greater than 1.1 V for a complete handoff to the internal voltage reference as shown in Figure 27. vertical spacer R1 = Vout2 + D V Vssoffset ´ Vref Iss (5) vertical spacer R2 = Vref ´ R1 Vout2 + DV - Vref (6) vertical spacer DV = Vout1 - Vout2 (7) vertical spacer R1 > 2930 ´ Vout1- 145 ´ DV (8) vertical spacer 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 TPS54319 www.ti.com SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 TPS54319 EN1 VOUT1 EN1 SS/TR1 PWRGD1 SS2 Vout1 TPS54319 EN2 Vout2 VOUT 2 R1 SS/TR2 R2 PWRGD2 Figure 28. Ratio-metric and Simultaneous Startup Sequence Figure 29. Ratio-metric Start-Up using Coupled SS/TR Pins CONSTANT SWITCHING FREQUENCY and TIMING RESISTOR (RT/CLK Pin) The switching frequency of the TPS54319 is adjustable over a wide range from 300 kHz to 2000 kHz by placing a maximum of 700 kΩ and minimum of 85 kΩ, respectively, on the RT/CLK pin. An internal amplifier holds this pin at a fixed voltage when using an external resistor to ground to set the switching frequency. The RT/CLK is typically 0.5 V. To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use the curve in Figure 5 and Figure 6, or Equation 9. 311890 RT (kW) = Fsw(kHz)1.0793 (9) vertical spacer Fsw(kHz) = 133870 RT(kW)0.9393 (10) To reduce the solution size one would typically set the switching frequency as high as possible, but tradeoffs of the efficiency, maximum input voltage and minimum controllable on time should be considered. The minimum controllable on time is typically 65 ns at full current load and 120 ns at no load, and limits the maximum operating input voltage or output voltage. OVERCURRENT PROTECTION The TPS54319 implements a cycle by cycle current limit. During each switching cycle the high side switch current is compared to the voltage on the COMP pin. When the instantaneous switch current intersects the COMP voltage, the high side switch is turned off. During overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier responds by driving the COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. The error amplifier output is clamped internally. This clamp functions as a switch current limit. FREQUENCY SHIFT To operate at high switching frequencies and provide protection during overcurrent conditions, the TPS54319 implements a frequency shift. If frequency shift was not implemented, during an overcurrent condition the low side MOSFET may not be turned off long enough to reduce the current in the inductor, causing a current runaway. With frequency shift, during an overcurrent condition the switching frequency is reduced from 100%, then 50%, then 25%, then 12.5% as the voltage decreases from 0.827 to 0 volts on VSENSE pin to allow the low side MOSFET to be off long enough to decrease the current in the inductor. During start-up, the switching frequency increases as the voltage on VSENSE increases from 0 to 0.827 volts. See Figure 7 for details. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 15 TPS54319 SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 www.ti.com REVERSE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION The TPS54319 implements low side current protection by detecting the voltage across the low side MOSFET. When the converter sinks current through its low side FET, the control circuit turns off the low side MOSFET if the reverse current is typically more than 2 A. By implementing this additional protection scheme, the converter is able to protect itself from excessive current during power cycling and start-up into pre-biased outputs. SYNCHRONIZE USING THE RT/CLK PIN The RT/CLK pin is used to synchronize the converter to an external system clock. See Figure 30. To implement the synchronization feature in a system, connect a square wave to the RT/CLK pin with an on time of at least 75ns. If the pin is pulled above the PLL upper threshold, a mode change occurs and the pin becomes a synchronization input. The internal amplifier is disabled and the pin is a high impedance clock input to the internal PLL. If clocking edges stop, the internal amplifier is re-enabled and the mode returns to the frequency set by the resistor. The square wave amplitude at this pin must transition lower than 0.6 V and higher than 1.6 V typically. The synchronization frequency range is 300 kHz to 2000 kHz. The rising edge of the PH is synchronized to the falling edge of RT/CLK pin. TPS54319 SYNC Clock = 2 V / div PLL PH = 2 V / div RT/CLK Clock Source RT Time = 500 nsec / div Figure 30. Synchronizing to a System Clock Figure 31. Plot of Synchronizing to System Clock POWER GOOD (PWRGD PIN) The PWRGD pin output is an open drain MOSFET. The output is pulled low when the VSENSE voltage enters the fault condition by falling below 91% or rising above 107% of the nominal internal reference voltage. There is a 2% hysteresis on the threshold voltage, so when the VSENSE voltage rises to the good condition above 93% or falls below 105% of the internal voltage reference the PWRGD output MOSFET is turned off. It is recommended to use a pull-up resistor between the values of 1kΩ and 100kΩ to a voltage source that is 6 V or less. The PWRGD is in a valid state once the VIN input voltage is greater than 1.2 V. OVERVOLTAGE TRANSIENT PROTECTION The TPS54319 incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients. The OVTP feature minimizes the output overshoot by implementing a circuit to compare the VSENSE pin voltage to the OVTP threshold which is 107% of the internal voltage reference. If the VSENSE pin voltage is greater than the OVTP threshold, the high side MOSFET is disabled preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot. When the VSENSE voltage drops lower than the OVTP threshold the high side MOSFET is allowed to turn on the next clock cycle. THERMAL SHUTDOWN The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 165°C. The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal trip threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 150°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence by discharging the SS pin to below 40 mV. The thermal shutdown hysteresis is 15°C. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 TPS54319 www.ti.com SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 SMALL SIGNAL MODEL FOR LOOP RESPONSE Figure 32 shows an equivalent model for the TPS54319 control loop which can be modeled in a circuit simulation program to check frequency response and dynamic load response. The error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier with a gm of 245 mA/V. The error amplifier can be modeled using an ideal voltage controlled current source. The resistor Ro and capacitor Co model the open loop gain and frequency response of the amplifier. The 1-mV AC voltage source between the nodes a and b effectively breaks the control loop for the frequency response measurements. Plotting a/c shows the small signal response of the frequency compensation. Plotting a/b shows the small signal response of the overall loop.

Small Signal Model for Loop Response SIMPLE SMALL SIGNAL MODEL FOR PEAK CURRENT MODE CONTROL Figure 32 is a simple small signal model that can be used to understand how to design the frequency compensation. The TPS54319 power stage can be approximated to a voltage controlled current source (duty cycle modulator) supplying current to the output capacitor and load resistor. The control to output transfer function is shown in Equation 11 and consists of a dc gain, one dominant pole and one ESR zero. The quotient of the change in switch current and the change in COMP pin voltage (node c in Figure 32) is the power stage transconductance. The gm for the TPS54319 is 18.0 A/V. The low frequency gain of the power stage frequency response is the product of the transconductance and the load resistance as shown in Equation 12. As the load current increases and decreases, the low frequency gain decreases and increases, respectively. This variation with load may seem problematic at first glance, but the dominant pole moves with load current [see Equation 13]. The combined effect is highlighted by the dashed line in the right half of Figure 33. As the load current decreases, the gain increases and the pole frequency lowers, keeping the 0-dB crossover frequency the same for the varying load conditions which makes it easier to design the frequency compensation. vertical spacer vertical spacer Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 17 TPS54319 SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 www.ti.com VO Adc VC RESR fp RL gmps COUT fz Figure 33.

This design is available as the HPA375 evaluation module (EVM). A few parameters must be known in order to start the design process. These parameters are typically determined on the system level. For this example, we start with the following known parameters: Output Voltage 1.8 V Transient Response 1 to 2A load step ΔVout = 5% Maximum Output Current 3A Input Voltage 5 V nom. 3 V to 5 V Output Voltage Ripple < 30 mV p-p Switching Frequency (Fsw) 1000 kHz SELECTING THE SWITCHING FREQUENCY The first step is to decide on a switching frequency for the regulator. Typically, you want to choose the highest switching frequency possible since this produces the smallest solution size. The high switching frequency allows for lower valued inductors and smaller output capacitors compared to a power supply that switches at a lower frequency. However, the highest switching frequency causes extra switching losses, which hurt the converter’s performance. The converter is capable of running from 300 kHz to 2 MHz. Unless a small solution size is an ultimate goal, a moderate switching frequency of 1MHz is selected to achieve both a small solution size and a high efficiency operation. Using Equation 9, R5 is calculated to be 180 kΩ. A standard 1% 182 kΩ value was chosen in the design. Figure 35. High Frequency, 1.8 V Output Power Supply Design with Adjusted UVLO OUTPUT INDUCTOR SELECTION The inductor selected works for the entire TPS54319 input voltage range. To calculate the value of the output inductor, use Equation 22. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. Therefore, choosing high inductor ripple currents impacts the selection of the output capacitor since the output capacitor must have a ripple current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer; however, KIND is normally from 0.1 to 0.3 for the majority of applications. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 TPS54319 www.ti.com SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and the inductor value is calculated to be 1.36 mH. For this design, a nearest standard value was chosen: 1.5 mH. For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS and peak inductor current can be found from Equation 24 and Equation 25. For this design, the RMS inductor current is 3.01 A and the peak inductor current is 3.72 A. The chosen inductor is a Coilcraft XLA4020-152ME_. It has a saturation current rating 0f 9.6 A and a RMS current rating of 7.5 A. The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power up, faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the calculated peak inductor current level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current rating equal to or greater than the switch current limit rather than the peak inductor current.

The output capacitor determines the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulator responds to a large change in load current. The output capacitance needs to be selected based on the more stringent of these three criteria. The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The output capacitor needs to supply the load with current when the regulator can not. This situation would occur if there are desired hold-up times for the regulator where the output capacitor must hold the output voltage above a certain level for a specified amount of time after the input power is removed. The regulator is temporarily not able to supply sufficient output current if there is a large, fast increase in the current needs of the load such as transitioning from no load to a full load. The regulator usually needs two or more clock cycles for the control loop to see the change in load current and output voltage and adjust the duty cycle to react to the change. The output capacitor must be sized to supply the extra current to the load until the control loop responds to the load change. The output capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for 2 clock cycles while only allowing a tolerable amount of droop in the output voltage. Equation 26 shows the minimum output capacitance necessary to accomplish this. For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 5 % change in Vout for a load step from 0 A (no load) to 1.5 A (50% load). For this example, ΔIout = 1.5-0 = 1.5 A and ΔVout= 0.05 × 1.8 = 0.090 V. Using these numbers gives a minimum capacitance of 33 mF. This value does not take the ESR of the output capacitor into account in the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to ignore in this calculation. Equation 27 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output voltage ripple specification. Where fsw is the switching frequency, Vripple is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple, and Iripple is the inductor ripple current. In this case, the maximum output voltage ripple is 30 mV. Under this requirement, Equation 27 yields 2.3 uF. vertical spacer 2 ´ DIout Co > ¦ sw ´ DVout (26) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 21 TPS54319 SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 www.ti.com vertical spacer Co > 1 ´ 8 ´ ¦ sw 1 Voripple Iripple Where ΔIout is the change in output current, Fsw is the regulators switching frequency and ΔVout is the allowable change in the output voltage. (27) vertical spacer Equation 28 calculates the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output voltage ripple specification. Equation 28 indicates the ESR should be less than 55 mΩ. In this case, the ESR of the ceramic capacitor is much less than 55 mΩ. Additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and DC bias should be factored in which increases this minimum value. For this example, two 22 mF 10 V X5R ceramic capacitors with 3 mΩ of ESR are used. Capacitors generally have limits to the amount of ripple current they can handle without failing or producing excess heat. An output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current must be specified. Some capacitor data sheets specify the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of the maximum ripple current. Equation 29 can be used to calculate the RMS ripple current the output capacitor needs to support. For this application, Equation 29 yields 333 mA.

The effective capacitance includes any DC bias effects. The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than the maximum input voltage. The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating greater than the maximum input current ripple of the TPS54319. The input ripple current can be calculated using Equation 30. The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to the capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric material that is stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for power regulator capacitors because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over temperature. The output capacitor must also be selected with the DC bias taken into account. The capacitance value of a capacitor decreases as the DC bias across a capacitor increases. For this example design, a ceramic capacitor with at least a 10 V voltage rating is required to support the maximum input voltage. For this example, one 10 mF and one 0.1 mF 10 V capacitors in parallel have been selected. The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage ripple can be calculated using Equation 31. Using the design example values, Ioutmax=3 A, Cin=10 mF, Fsw=1 MHz, yields an input voltage ripple of 76 mV and a rms input ripple current of 1.47 A.

This is useful if a load requires a controlled voltage slew rate. This is also used if the output capacitance is very large and would require large amounts of current to quickly charge the capacitor to the output voltage level. The large currents necessary to charge the capacitor may make the TPS54319 reach the current limit or excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause the input voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output voltage slew rate solves both of these problems. The slow start capacitor value can be calculated using Equation 32. For the example circuit, the slow start time is not too critical since the output capacitor value is 44 mF which does not require much current to charge to 1.8 V. The example circuit has the slow start time set to an arbitrary value of 4ms which requires a 10 nF capacitor. In TPS54319, Iss is 2.2 mA and Vref is 0.827 V. Tss(ms) ´ Iss(mA) Css(nF) = Vref(V) (32) BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR SELECTION A 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BOOT to PH pin for proper operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric. The capacitor should have 10 V or higher voltage rating. OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND FEEDBACK RESISTORS SELECTION For the example design, 100 kΩ was selected for R6. Using Equation 33, R7 is calculated as 80 kΩ. The nearest standard 1% resistor is 80.5 kΩ. Vref R7 = R6 Vo - Vref (33) Due to the internal design of the TPS54319, there is a minimum output voltage limit for any given input voltage. The output voltage can never be lower than the internal voltage reference of 0.827 V. Above 0.827 V, the output voltage may be limited by the minimum controllable on time. The minimum output voltage in this case is given by Equation 34 Voutmin = Ontimemin ´ Fsmax ´ (Vinmax - Ioutmin ´ 2 ´ RDS ) - Ioutmin ´ (RL + RDS ) Where: Voutmin = minimum achievable output voltage Ontimemin = minimum controllable on-time (65 ns typical. 120 nsec no load) Fsmax = maximum switching frequency including tolerance Vinmax = maximum input voltage Ioutmin = minimum load current RDS = minimum high side MOSFET on resistance (45 - 64 mΩ) RL = series resistance of output inductor (34) There is also a maximum achievable output voltage which is limited by the minimum off time. The maximum output voltage is given by Equation 35 Voutmax = (1 - Offtimemax ´ Fsmax )´ (Vinmin - Ioutmax ´ 2 ´ RDS ) - Ioutmax ´ (RL + RDS ) Where: Voutmax = maximum achievable output voltage Offtimeman = maximum off time (60 nsec typical) Fsmax = maximum switching frequency including tolerance Vinmin = minimum input voltage Ioutmax = maximum load current RDS = maximum high side MOSFET on resistance (81 - 110 mΩ) RL = series resistance of output inductor (35) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 23 TPS54319 SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 www.ti.com COMPENSATION There are several industry techniques used to compensate DC/DC regulators. The method presented here is easy to calculate and yields high phase margins. For most conditions, the regulator has a phase margin between 60 and 90 degrees. The method presented here ignores the effects of the slope compensation that is internal to the TPS54319. Since the slope compensation is ignored, the actual cross over frequency is usually lower than the cross over frequency used in the calculations. Use SwitcherPro software for a more accurate design. To get started, the modulator pole, fpmod, and the esr zero, fz1 must be calculated using Equation 36 and Equation 37. For Cout, derating the capacitor is not needed as the 1.8 V output is a small percentage of the 10 V capacitor rating. If the output is a high percentage of the capacitor rating, use the capacitor manufacturer information to derate the capacitor value. Use Equation 38 and Equation 39 to estimate a starting point for the crossover frequency, fc. For the example design, fpmod is 6.03 kHz and fzmod is 1210 kHz. Equation 38 is the geometric mean of the modulator pole and the esr zero and Equation 39 is the mean of modulator pole and the switching frequency. Equation 38 yields 85.3 kHz and Equation 39 gives 54.9 kHz. Use the lower value of Equation 38 or Equation 39 as the approximate crossover frequency. For this example, fc is 56 kHz. Next, the compensation components are calculated. A resistor in series with a capacitor is used to create a compensating zero. A capacitor in parallel to these two components forms the compensating pole (if needed). ¦ p m od = Iout m ax 2 p ´ Vout ´ Cout (36) 1 2 p ´ Resr ´ Cout (37) vertical spacer ¦ z m od = vertical spacer ¦C = ¦p mod ´ ¦ z mod (38) vertical spacer ¦C = ¦p mod ´ ¦ sw 2 (39) vertical spacer The compensation design takes the following steps: 1.

From the procedures above, the compensation network includes a 7.68 kΩ resistor and a 3300 pF capacitor. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 TPS54319 www.ti.com SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 APPLICATION CURVES EFFICIENCY vs LOAD CURRENT 100 EFFICIENCY vs LOAD CURRENT 100 3.3 Vin,1.8 Vout 90 90 80 80 5 Vin, 1.8 Vout 70 Efficiency - % Efficiency - % 70 60 50 40 5 Vin, 1.8 Vout 3.3 Vin,1.8 Vout 60 50 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 0 0.001 3 0.01 0.1 Output Current - A 1 10 Output Current - A Figure 36.

The power dissipation of the IC (Ptot) includes conduction loss (Pcon), dead time loss (Pd), switching loss (Psw), gate drive loss (Pgd) and supply current loss (Pq). Pcon = Io2 × RDS_on_Temp Pd = ƒsw × Io × 0.7 × 40 × 10–9 Psw = 1/2 × Vin × Io × ƒsw× 8 × 10–9 Pgd = 2 × Vin × ƒsw× 2 × 10–9 Pq = Vin × 360 × 10–6 Where: IO is the output current (A). RDS_on_Temp is the on-resistance of the high-side MOSFET with given temperature (Ω). Vin is the input voltage (V). ƒsw is the switching frequency (Hz). So Ptot = Pcon + Pd + Psw + Pgd + Pq For given TA, TJ = TA + Rth × Ptot For given TJMAX = 150°C TAmax = TJ max – Rth × Ptot Where: Ptot is the total device power dissipation (W). TA is the ambient temperature (°C). TJ is the junction temperature (°C). Rth is the thermal resistance of the package (°C/W). TJMAX is maximum junction temperature (°C). TAMAX is maximum ambient temperature (°C). There are additional power losses in the regulator circuit due to the inductor AC and DC losses and trace resistance that impact the overall efficiency of the regulator. LAYOUT Layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. There are several signal paths that conduct fast changing currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise or degrade the power supplies performance. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections and the VIN pins. See Figure 48 for a PCB layout example. The GND pins and AGND pin should be tied directly to the power pad under the IC. The power pad should be connected to any internal PCB ground planes using multiple vias directly under the IC. Additional vias can be used to connect the top side ground area to the internal planes near the input and output capacitors. For operation at full rated load, the top side ground area along with any additional internal ground planes must provide adequate heat dissipating area. Locate the input bypass capacitor as close to the IC as possible. The PH pin should be routed to the output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, the output inductor should be located very close to the PH pins, and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. The boot capacitor must also be located close to the device. The sensitive analog ground connections for the feedback Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54319 27 TPS54319 SLVSA83 – JUNE 2010 www.ti.com voltage divider, compensation components, slow start capacitor and frequency set resistor should be connected to a separate analog ground trace as shown. The RT/CLK pin is particularly sensitive to noise so the RT resistor should be located as close as possible to the IC and routed with minimal lengths of trace. The additional external components can be placed approximately as shown. It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate PCB layouts, however this layout has been shown to produce good results and is meant as a guideline.
