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 TPS54329E 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 TPS54329E uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The TPS54329E runs with a pseudo-constant frequency of 650 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. Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ Control The TPS54329E is designed with Auto-Skip Eco-mode™ to increase light load efficiency. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to point that its rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when its zero inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreases the converter run into discontinuous conduction mode. The on-time is kept almost the same as is was in the continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer time to discharge the output capacitor with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. The transition point to the light load operation IOUT(LL) current can be calculated in Equation 1 (VIN - VOUT )×VOUT 1 × I OUT ( LL ) = 2 × L × fsw VIN (1) Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start The soft start function is adjustable. When the EN pin becomes high, 6 μA 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 2. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is 6 μA. t SS (ms) = CSS (nF) x VREF ´1.1 I (mA) SS = CSS (nF) x 0.765 ´1.1 6 (2) The TPS54329E 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. 7 Copyright © 2011–2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54329E TPS54329E SLVSAZ5A – SEPTEMBER 2011 – REVISED MARCH 2012 www.ti.com Current Protection The output overcurrent protection (OCP) is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect control circuit. The switch current is monitored by measuring the low-side FET switch voltage between the SW pin and GND. This voltage is proportional to the switch current. To improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature compensated. During the on time of the high-side FET switch, the switch current increases at a linear rate determined by VIN, VOUT, the on-time and the output inductor value. During the on time of the low-side FET switch, this current decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current is the load current Iout. The TPS54329E constantly monitors the low-side FET switch voltage, which is proportional to the switch current, during the low-side on-time. If the measured voltage is above the voltage proportional to the current limit, an internal counter is incremented per each SW cycle and the converter maintains the low-side switch on until the measured voltage is below the voltage corresponding to the current limit at which time the switching cycle is terminated and a new switching cycle begins. In subsequent switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in the same manner. If the over current condition exists for 7 consecutive switching cycles, the internal OCL threshold is set to a lower level, reducing the available output current. When a switching cycle occurs where the switch current is not above the lower OCL threshold, the counter is reset and the OCL limit is returned to the higher value. There are some important considerations for this type of over-current protection. The load current one half of the peak-to-peak inductor current higher than the over-current threshold. Also when the current is being limited, the output voltage tends to fall as the demanded load current may be higher than the current available from the converter. This may cause the output voltage to fall. When the over current condition is removed, the output voltage returns to the regulated value. This protection is non-latching. 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 TPS54329E is shut off. This protection is non-latching. Thermal Shutdown TPS54329E 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 © 2011–2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54329E TPS54329E www.ti.com SLVSAZ5A – SEPTEMBER 2011 – REVISED MARCH 2012 TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS VIN = 12 V, TA = 25°C (unless otherwise noted). 1200 20 SS = 7 V Shutdown Current (µA) Supply Current (µA) VIN = 12 V 18 1000 800 600 400 200 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 −50 0 50 100 Junction Temperature (°C) 0 −50 150 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 3 to calculate VOUT. To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors, high resistance is more susceptible to noise, and the voltage errors from the VFB input current are more noticeable. æ ö R1÷ V = 0.765 x çç1 + ÷ OUT çè R2 ÷ø (3) Output Filter Selection The output filter used with the TPS54329E is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at: F = P 2p L 1 OUT x COUT (4) At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal gain of the TPS54329E. 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 12 Copyright © 2011–2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54329E TPS54329E www.ti.com SLVSAZ5A – SEPTEMBER 2011 – REVISED MARCH 2012 Table 1.

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 650 kHz for fSW. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 6 and the RMS current of Equation 7. - VOUT V V OUT x IN(max) I = IPP V L x f IN(max) O SW I =I + Ipeak O = I Lo(RMS) (5) I lpp 2 I 2 O (6) + 1 2 I 12 IPP (7) For this design example, the calculated peak current is 3.49 A and the calculated RMS current is 3.01 A. The inductor used is a TDK CLF7045T-1R5N with a peak current rating of 7.3 A and an RMS current rating of 4.9 A. The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54329E is intended for use with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 20µF to 68µF. Use Equation 8 to determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor. I Co(RMS) = VOUT x (VIN - VOUT ) 12 x VIN x LO x fSW (8) For this design three TDK C3216X5R0J106M 10µF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each. The calculated RMS current is 0.284 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4 A. Input Capacitor Selection The TPS54329E requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is needed depending on the application. A ceramic capacitor over 10 μF is recommended for the decoupling capacitor. An additional 0.1 µF capacitor (C3) is required to provide additional high frequency filtering and insure accurate current limit operation. This capacitor must be placed as close to the IC pins 2 (VIN) and 4 (GND) as possible. The capacitor voltage rating needs to be greater than the maximum input voltage. 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. 13 Copyright © 2011–2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s) :TPS54329E TPS54329E SLVSAZ5A – SEPTEMBER 2011 – REVISED MARCH 2012 www.ti.com VREG5 Capacitor Selection A 0.47 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 8-pin DDA package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be directly to an external heartsick. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to the printed board (PCB). After soldering, the PCB can be used as a heartsick. In addition, through the use of thermal vias, the thermal pad can be attached directly to the appropriate copper plane shown in the electrical schematic for the device, or alternatively, can be attached to a special heartsick structure designed into the PCB. This design optimizes the heat transfer from the integrated circuit (IC). For additional information on the exposed thermal pad and how to use the advantage of its heat dissipating abilities, see the Technical Brief, PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package, Texas Instruments Literature No. SLMA002 and Application Brief, PowerPAD™ Made Easy, Texas Instruments Literature No. SLMA004.
