To increase efficiency at light loads, a pulse skipping Eco-mode™ feature is automatically activated. Furthermore, the 1 mA shutdown supply current allows the device to be used in battery powered applications. Current mode control with internal slope compensation simplifies the external compensation calculations and reduces component count while allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors. A resistor divider programs the hysteresis of the input under-voltage lockout. An overvoltage transient protection circuit limits voltage overshoots during startup and transient conditions. A cycle by cycle current limit scheme, frequency fold back and thermal shutdown protect the device and the load in the event of an overload condition. The TPS54331 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package that has been internally optimized to improve thermal performance.

OVERVIEW The TPS54331 is a 28-V, 3-A, step-down (buck) converter with an integrated high-side n-channel MOSFET. To improve performance during line and load transients, the device implements a constant frequency, current mode control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency compensation design. The TPS54331 has a pre-set switching frequency of 570kHz. The TPS54331 needs a minimum input voltage of 3.5V to operate normally. 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 operating current is 110 mA typically when not switching and under no load. When the device is disabled, the supply current is 1mA typically. The integrated 80 mΩ high-side MOSFET allows for high efficiency power supply designs with continuous output currents up to 3A. The TPS54331 reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias voltage for the integrated high-side MOSFET is supplied by an external capacitor on the BOOT to PH pin. The boot capacitor voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and will turn the high-side MOSFET off when the voltage falls below a preset threshold of 2.1V typically. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the reference voltage. By adding an external capacitor, the slow start time of the TPS54331 can be adjustable which enables flexible output filter selection. To improve the efficiency at light load conditions, the TPS54331 enters a special pulse skipping Eco-modeTM when the peak inductor current drops below 160mA typically. The frequency foldback reduces the switching frequency during startup and over current conditions to help control the inductor current. The thermal shut down gives the additional protection under fault conditions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIXED FREQUENCY PWM CONTROL The TPS54331 uses a fixed frequency, peak current mode control. The internal switching frequency of the TPS54331 is fixed at 570kHz. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 7 TPS54331-Q1 SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 www.ti.com ECO-MODETM The TPS54331 is designed to operate in pulse skipping Eco-modeTM at light load currents to boost light load efficiency. When the peak inductor current is lower than 160 mA typically, the COMP pin voltage falls to 0.5 V typically and the device enters Eco-modeTM . When the device is in Eco-modeTM, the COMP pin voltage is clamped at 0.5V internally which prevents the high side integrated MOSFET from switching. The peak inductor current must rise above 160mA for the COMP pin voltage to rise above 0.5V and exit Eco-modeTM. Since the integrated current comparator catches the peak inductor current only, the average load current entering Eco-modeTM varies with the applications and external output filters. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (Vref) The voltage reference system produces a ±2% initial accuracy voltage reference (±3.5% over temperature) by scaling the output of a temperature stable bandgap circuit. The typical voltage reference is designed at 0.8V. BOOTSTRAP VOLTAGE (BOOT) The TPS54331 has an integrated boot regulator and requires a 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and PH pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage. To improve drop out, the TPS54331 is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage is greater than 2.1 V typically. ENABLE AND ADJUSTABLE INPUT UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (VIN UVLO) The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source that provides the default condition of the TPS54331 operating when the EN pin floats. The TPS54331 is disabled when the VIN pin voltage falls below internal VIN UVLO threshold. It is recommended to use an external VIN UVLO to add Hysteresis unless VIN is greater than (VOUT + 2 V). To adjust the VIN UVLO with Hysteresis, use the external circuitry connected to the EN pin as shown in Figure 12. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds 1.25 V, an additional 3 mA of hysteresis is added. Use Equation 1 and Equation 2 to calculate the resistor values needed for the desired VIN UVLO threshold voltages. The VSTART is the input start threshold voltage, the VSTOP is the input stop threshold voltage and the VEN is the enable threshold voltage of 1.25 V. The VSTOP should always be greater than 3.5 V.

Adjustable Input Undervoltage Lockout Ren1 = VSTART - VSTOP 3 mA (1) VEN Ren2 = VSTART - VEN + 1 mA Ren1 (2) PROGRAMMABLE SLOW START USING SS PIN It is highly recommended to program the slow start time externally because no slow start time is implemented 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 TPS54331-Q1 www.ti.com SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 internally. The TPS54331 effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS pin voltage as the power supply’s reference voltage fed into the error amplifier and will regulate the output accordingly. A capacitor (CSS) on the SS pin to ground implements a slow start time. The TPS54331 has an internal pull-up current source of 2mA that charges the external slow start capacitor. The equation for the slow start time (10% to 90%) is shown in Equation 3 . The Vref is 0.8 V and the ISS current is 2 mA. CSS (nF ) ´ Vref (V ) TSS (ms ) = ISS (mA ) (3) The slow start time should be set between 1ms to 10 ms to ensure good start-up behavior. The slow start capacitor should be no more than 27nF. If during normal operation, the input voltage drops below the VIN UVLO threshold, or the EN pin is pulled below 1.25 V, or a thermal shutdown event occurs, the TPS54331 stops switching. ERROR AMPLIFIER The TPS54331 has a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the VSENSE voltage to the internal effective voltage reference presented at the input of the error amplifier. The transconductance of the error amplifier is 92 mA/V during normal operation. Frequency compensation components are connected between the COMP pin and ground. SLOPE COMPENSATION In order to prevent the sub-harmonic oscillations when operating the device at duty cycles greater than 50%, the TPS54331 adds a built-in slope compensation which is a compensating ramp to the switch current signal. CURRENT MODE COMPENSATION DESIGN To simplify design efforts using the TPS54331, the typical designs for common applications are listed in Table 1. For designs using ceramic output capacitors, proper derating of ceramic output capacitance is recommended when doing the stability analysis. This is because the actual ceramic capacitance drops considerably from the nominal value when the applied voltage increases. Advanced users may refer to the Step by Step Design Procedure in the Application Information section for the detailed guidelines or use SwitcherPro™ Software tool (http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/switcherpro.html).

Every cycle the switch current and the COMP pin voltage are compared; when the peak inductor current intersects the COMP pin 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, causing the switch current to increase. The COMP pin has a maximum clamp internally, which limit the output current.

There is potential for overcurrent runaway in the output inductor during a short circuit at the output. The TPS54331 solves this issue by increasing the off time during short circuit conditions by lowering the switching frequency. The switching frequency is divided by 8, 4, 2, and 1 as the voltage ramps from 0 V to 0.8 V on VSENSE pin. The relationship between the switching frequency and the VSENSE pin voltage is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Switching Frequency Conditions SWITCHING FREQUENCY VSENSE PIN VOLTAGE 570 kHz VSENSE ≥ 0.6 V 570 kHz / 2 0.6 V > VSENSE ≥ 0.4 V 570 kHz / 4 0.4 V > VSENSE ≥ 0.2 V 570 kHz / 8 0.2 V > VSENSE OVERVOLTAGE TRANSIENT PROTECTION The TPS54331 incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize output voltage overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients. The OVTP circuit includes an overvoltage comparator to compare the VSENSE pin voltage and internal thresholds. When the VSENSE pin voltage goes above 109% × Vref, the high-side MOSFET will be forced off. When the VSENSE pin voltage falls below 107% × Vref, the high-side MOSFET will be enabled again. 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 165°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 TPS54331-Q1 www.ti.com SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 APPLICATION INFORMATION Vout 3.3 V Iout Max 3 A 6.8 µH 0.1 μF 47 µF Vin 7 V – 28 V 4.7µF 4.7µF 0.01 μF 0Ω 10.2 kΩ 1000 pF 332 kΩ 47 µF 47 pF 0.01 µF 3.24 kΩ 29.4 kΩ 68.1 kΩ Figure 13.

The SwitcherPro™ Software uses an iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive database of components when generating a design. This section presents a simplified discussion of the design process. To • • • • • • begin the design process a few parameters must be decided upon. The designer needs to know the following: Input voltage range Output voltage Input ripple voltage Output ripple voltage Output current rating Operating frequency For this design example, use the following as the input parameters Table 3.

Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 11 TPS54331-Q1 SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 www.ti.com OUTPUT VOLTAGE SET POINT The output voltage of the TPS54331 is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. In the application circuit of Figure 13, this divider network is comprised of R5 and R6. The relationship of the output voltage to the resistor divider is given by Equation 4 and Equation 5: R5 ´ VREF R6 = VOUT - VREF (4) é R5 ù VOUT = VREF ´ ê +1ú ë R6 û (5) Choose R5 to be approximately 10.0 kΩ. Slightly increasing or decreasing R5 can result in closer output voltage matching when using standard value resistors. In this design, R4 = 10.2 kΩ and R = 3.24 kΩ, resulting in a 3.31 V output voltage. The zero ohm resistor R4 is provided as a convenient place to break the control loop for stability testing. INPUT CAPACITORS The TPS54331 requires an input decoupling capacitor and depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor. The typical recommended value for the decoupling capacitor is 10 mF. A high-quality ceramic type X5R or X7R is recommended. The voltage rating should be greater than the maximum input voltage. A smaller value may be used as long as all other requirements are met; however 10 mF has been shown to work well in a wide variety of circuits. Additionally, some bulk capacitance may be needed, especially if the TPS54331 circuit is not located within about 2 inches from the input voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical but should be rated to handle the maximum input voltage including ripple voltage, and should filter the output so that input ripple voltage is acceptable. For this design two 4.7 mF capacitors are used for the input decoupling capacitor. They are X7R dielectric rated for 50 V. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is approximately 2mΩ, and the current rating is 3 A. Additionally, a small 0.01 mF capacitor is included for high frequency filtering. This input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 6 IOUT(MAX) ´ 0.25 DVIN = + IOUT(MAX) ´ ESRMAX CBULK ´ fSW ( ) (6) Where IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current, fSW is the switching frequency, CBULK is the bulk capacitor value and ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance of the bulk capacitor. The maximum RMS ripple current also needs to be checked. For worst case conditions, this can be approximated by Equation 7 IOUT(MAX) ICIN = 2 (7) In this case, the input ripple voltage would be 143 mV and the RMS ripple current would be 1.5 A. It is also important to note that the actual input voltage ripple will be greatly affected by parasitics associated with the layout and the output impedance of the voltage source. The actual input voltage ripple for this circuit is shown in Design Parameters and is larger than the calculated value. This measured value is still below the specified input limit of 300 mV. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors would be VIN max plus ΔVIN/2. The chosen bulk and bypass capacitors are each rated for 50 V and the ripple current capacity is greater than 3 A, both providing ample margin. It is very important that the maximum ratings for voltage and current are not exceeded under any circumstance. OUTPUT FILTER COMPONENTS Two components need to be selected for the output filter, L1 and C2. Since the TPS54331 is an externally compensated device, a wide range of filter component types and values can be supported. Inductor Selection To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 8 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 TPS54331-Q1 www.ti.com LMIN = SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 (VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) VOUT(MAX) ´ VIN(MAX) ´ KIND ´ IOUT ´ FSW (8) KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. In general, this value is at the discretion of the designer; however, the following guidelines may be used. For designs using low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics, a value as high as KIND = 0.3 may be used. When using higher ESR output capacitors, KIND = 0.2 yields better results. For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 5.7mH. For this design, a large value was chosen: 6.8 mH. For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS inductor current can be found from Equation 9 IL(RMS) = 2 IOUT(MAX) ( ) æ V ö OUT ´ VIN(MAX) - VOUT 1 ÷ + ´ ç ç VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ FSW ´ 0.8 ÷ 12 è ø 2 (9) and the peak inductor current can be determined with Equation 10 IL(PK) = IOUT(MAX) + VOUT ´ (VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) 1.6 ´ VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ FSW (10) For this design, the RMS inductor current is 3.01 A and the peak inductor current is 3.47 A. The chosen inductor is a Sumida CDRH103-6R8 6.8 mH. It has a saturation current rating of 3.84 A and an RMS current rating of 3.60 A, meeting these requirements. Smaller or larger inductor values can be used depending on the amount of ripple current the designer wishes to allow so long as the other design requirements are met. Larger value inductors will have lower ac current and result in lower output voltage ripple, while smaller inductor values will increase ac current and output voltage ripple. In general, inductor values for use with the TPS54331 are in the range of 6.8 mH to 47mH. Capacitor Selection The important design factors for the output capacitor are dc voltage rating, ripple current rating, and equivalent series resistance (ESR). The dc voltage and ripple current ratings cannot be exceeded. The ESR is important because along with the inductor current it determines the amount of output ripple voltage. The actual value of the output capacitor is not critical, but some practical limits do exist. Consider the relationship between the desired closed loop crossover frequency of the design and LC corner frequency of the output filter. In general, it is desirable to keep the closed loop crossover frequency at less than 1/5 of the switching frequency. With high switching frequencies such as the 570-kHz frequency of this design, internal circuit limitations of the TPS54331 limit the practical maximum crossover frequency to about 25 kHz. In general, the closed loop crossover frequency should be higher than the corner frequency determined by the load impedance and the output capacitor. This limits the minimum capacitor value for the output filter to: CO _ min = 1 /(2 ´ p ´ RO ´ FCO _ max ) (11) Where RO is the output load impedance (VO/IO) and fCO is the desired crossover frequency. For a desired maximum crossover of 25 kHz the minimum value for the output capacitor is around 5.8mF. This may not satisfy the output ripple voltage requirement. The output ripple voltage consists of two components; the voltage change due to the charge and discharge of the output filter capacitance and the voltage change due to the ripple current times the ESR of the output filter capacitor. The output ripple voltage can be estimated by: é ( D - 0 .5 ) ù + R ESR ú V O PP = I LPP ê ë 4 ´ F SW ´ C O û (12) Where NC is the number of output capacitors in parallel. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 13 TPS54331-Q1 SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 www.ti.com The maximum ESR of the output capacitor can be determined from the amount of allowable output ripple as specified in the initial design parameters. The contribution to the output ripple voltage due to ESR is the inductor ripple current times the ESR of the output filter, so the maximum specified ESR as listed in the capacitor data sheet is given by Equation 13 ESRmax = VOPPMAX ILPP - (D - 0.5 ) 4 ´ FSW ´ CO (13) Where VOPPMAX is the desired maximum peak-to-peak output ripple. The maximum RMS ripple current in the output capacitor is given by Equation 14. æ VOUT × VIN(MAX) - VOUT ö 1 ÷ ICOUT(RMS) = × ç ç VIN(MAX) × LOUT × FSW × NC ÷ 12 è ø (14) ( ) For this design example, two 47-mF ceramic output capacitors are chosen for C8 and C9. These are TDK C3216X5R0J476MT, rated at 6.3 V with a maximum ESR of 2 mΩ and a ripple current rating in excess of 3 A. The calculated total RMS ripple current is 161 mA ( 80.6 mA each) and the maximum total ESR required is 43 mΩ. These output capacitors exceed the requirements by a wide margin and will result in a reliable, high-performance design. it is important to note that the actual capacitance in circuit may be less than the catalog value when the output is operating at the desired output of 3.3 V The selected output capacitor must be rated for a voltage greater than the desired output voltage plus ½ the ripple voltage. Any derating amount must also be included. Other capacitor types work well with the TPS54331, depending on the needs of the application. COMPENSATION COMPONENTS The external compensation used with the TPS54331 allows for a wide range of output filter configurations. A large range of capacitor values and types of dielectric are supported. The design example uses ceramic X5R dielectric output capacitors, but other types are supported. A Type II compensation scheme is recommended for the TPS54331. The compensation components are chosen to set the desired closed loop cross over frequency and phase margin for output filter components. The type II compensation has the following characteristics; a dc gain component, a low frequency pole, and a mid frequency zero / pole pair. The dc gain is determined by Equation 15: Vggm ´ VREF GDC = VO (15) Where: Vggm = 800 VREF = 0.8 V The low-frequency pole is determined by Equation 16: VPO = 1/ (2 ´ p ´ ROO ´ CZ ) (16) The mid-frequency zero is determined by Equation 17: FZ1 = 1/ (2 ´ p ´ R Z ´ CZ ) (17) And, the mid-frequency pole is given by Equation 18: FP1 = 1/ (2 ´ p ´ R Z ´ CP ) (18) The first step is to choose the closed loop crossover frequency. In general, the closed-loop crossover frequency should be less than 1/8 of the minimum operating frequency, but for the TPS54331it is recommended that the maximum closed loop crossover frequency be not greater than 25 kHz. Next, the required gain and phase boost of the crossover network needs to be calculated. By definition, the gain of the compensation network must be the inverse of the gain of the modulator and output filter. For this design example, where the ESR zero is much higher than the closed loop crossover frequency, the gain of the modulator and output filter can be approximated by Equation 19: 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 TPS54331-Q1 www.ti.com SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 Gain = - 20 log (2 ´ p ´ RSENSE ´ FCO ´ CO ) (19) Where: RSENSE = 1Ω/12 FCO = Closed-loop crossover frequency CO = Output capacitance The phase loss is given by Equation 20: PL = a tan (2 ´ p ´ FCO ´ RESR ´ CO ) - a tan (2 ´ p ´ FCO ´ RO ´ CO ) (20) Where: RESR = Equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor RO = VO/IO The measured overall loop response for the circuit is given in Figure 20. Note that the actual closed loop crossover frequency is higher than intended at about 25 kHz. This is primarily due to variation in the actual values of the output filter components and tolerance variation of the internal feed-forward gain circuitry. Overall the design has greater than 60 degrees of phase margin and will be completely stable over all combinations of line and load variability. Now that the phase loss is known the required amount of phase boost to meet the phase margin requirement can be determined. The required phase boost is given by Equation 21: PB = (PM - 90 deg ) - PL (21) Where PM = the desired phase margin. A zero / pole pair of the compensation network will be placed symmetrically around the intended closed loop frequency to provide maximum phase boost at the crossover point. The amount of separation can be determined by Equation 22 and the resultant zero and pole frequencies are given by Equation 23 and Equation 24 ö æ PB k = tanç + 45 deg ÷ ø è 2 FZ 1 = (22) FCO k (23) FP1 = FCO ´ k (24) The low-frequency pole is set so that the gain at the crossover frequency is equal to the inverse of the gain of the modulator and output filter. Due to the relationships established by the pole and zero relationships, the value of RZ can be derived directly by Equation 25 : 2 × p × FCO × VO × CO × ROA RZ = GMICOMP × Vggm × VREF (25) Where: VO = Output voltage CO = Output capacitance FCO = Desired crossover frequency ROA = 8 MΩ GMCOMP = 12 A/V Vggm = 800 VREF = 0.8 V With RZ known, CZ and CP can be calculated using Equation 26 and Equation 27: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 15 TPS54331-Q1 SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 CZ = CP = www.ti.com 1 2 ´ p ´ FZ 1 ´ Rz (26) 1 2 ´ p ´ FP1 ´ Rz (27) For this design, the two 47-mF output capacitors are used. For ceramic capacitors, the actual output capacitance is less than the rated value when the capacitors have a dc bias voltage applied. This is the case in a dc/dc converter. The actual output capacitance may be as low as 54 mF. The combined ESR is approximately .001 Ω. Using Equation 19 and Equation 20, the output stage gain and phase loss are equivalent as: Gain = –2.26 dB and PL - –83.52 degrees For 70 degrees of phase margin, Equation 21 requires 63.52 degrees of phase boost. Equation 22, Equation 23, and Equation 24 are used to find the zero and pole frequencies of: FZ1 = 5883 Hz And FP1 = 106200 Hz RZ, CZ, and CP are calculated using Equation 25, Equation 26, and Equation 27: 2 ´ p ´ 25000 ´ 3.3 ´ 54 ´ 10-6 ´ 8 ´ 106 = 29.2 kW 12 ´ 800 ´ 0.8 1 Cz = = 928 pF 2 ´ p ´ 6010 ´ 29200 1 Cp = = 51 pF 2 ´ p ´ 103900 ´ 29200 Rz = (28) (29) (30) Using standard values for R3, C6, and C7 in the application schematic of Figure 13: R3 = 29.4 kΩ C6 = 1000 pF C7 = 47 pF BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR Every TPS54331 design requires a bootstrap capacitor, C4. The bootstrap capacitor must be 0.1 mF. The bootstrap capacitor is located between the PH pins and BOOT pin. The bootstrap capacitor should be a high-quality ceramic type with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability. CATCH DIODE The TPS54331 is designed to operate using an external catch diode between PH and GND. The selected diode must meet the absolute maximum ratings for the application: Reverse voltage must be higher than the maximum voltage at the PH pin, which is VINMAX + 0.5 V. Peak current must be greater than IOUTMAX plus on half the peak to peak inductor current. Forward voltage drop should be small for higher efficiencies. It is important to note that the catch diode conduction time is typically longer than the high-side FET on time, so attention paid to diode parameters can make a marked improvement in overall efficiency. Additionally, check that the device chosen is capable of dissipating the power losses. For this design, a Diodes, Inc. B340A is chosen, with a reverse voltage of 40 V, forward current of 3 A, and a forward voltage drop of 0.5 V. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 TPS54331-Q1 www.ti.com SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 OUTPUT VOLTAGE LIMITATIONS Due to the internal design of the TPS54331, there are both upper and lower output voltage limits for any given input voltage. The upper limit of the output voltage set point is constrained by the maximum duty cycle of 91% and is given by Equation 31: VOmax = 0.91 × ((V IN min ) - IO max × RDS(on) max + VD )- (IO max × RL ) - VD (31) Where: VIN min = Minimum input voltage IO max = Maximum load current VD = Catch diode forward voltage RL = Output inductor series resistance The equation assumes maximum on resistance for the internal high-side FET. The lower limit is constrained by the minimum controllable on time which may be as high as 130 ns. The approximate minimum output voltage for a given input voltage and minimum load current is given by Equation 32: VOmin = 0.089 × ((V IN max ) - IO min × RDS(on) min + VD )- (IO min × RL ) - VD (32) Where: VIN max = Maximum input voltage IO min = Minimum load current VD = Catch diode forward voltage RL = Output inductor series resistance This equation assumes nominal on-resistance for the high-side FET and accounts for worst case variation of operating frequency set point. Any design operating near the operational limits of the device should be carefully checked to assure proper functionality. POWER DISSIPATION ESTIMATE The following formulas show how to estimate the device power dissipation under continuous conduction mode operations. They should not be used if the device is working in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) or pulse skipping Eco-modeTM. The device power dissipation includes: 1) Conduction loss: Pcon = Iout2 x RDS(on) x VOUT/VIN 2) Switching loss: Psw = 0.5 x 10-9 x VIN2 x IOUT x Fsw 3) Gate charge loss: Pgc = 22.8 x 10-9 x Fsw 4) Quiescent current loss: Pq = 0.11 x 10-3 x VIN Where: IOUT Is the output current (A). RDS(on) is the on-resistance of the high-side MOSFET (Ω). VOUT is the output voltage (V). VIN is the input voltage (V). Fsw is the switching frequency (Hz). So Ptot = Pcon + Psw + Pgc + Pq For given TA , TJ = TA + Rth x Ptot. For given TJMAX = 150°C, TAMAX = TJMAX– Rth x Ptot. Where: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54331-Q1 17 TPS54331-Q1 SLVSAB5 – NOVEMBER 2010 www.ti.com 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). PCB LAYOUT The VIN pin should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pin, and the anode of the catch diode. The typical recommended bypass capacitance is 10-mF ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric and the optimum placement is closest to the VIN pins and the source of the anode of the catch diode. See Figure 14 for a PCB layout example. The GND D pin should be tied to the PCB ground plane at the pin of the IC. The source of the low-side MOSFET should be connected directly to the top side PCB ground area used to tie together the ground sides of the input and output capacitors as well as the anode of the catch diode. The PH pin should be routed to the cathode of the catch diode and to the output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, the catch diode and output inductor should be located very close to the PH pins, and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. For operation at full rated load, the top side ground area must provide adequate heat dissipating area. The TPS54331 uses a fused lead frame so that the GND pin acts as a conductive path for heat dissipation from the die. Many applications have larger areas of internal or back side ground plane available, and the top side ground area can be connected to these areas using multiple vias under or adjacent to the device to help dissipate heat. The additional external components can be placed approximately as shown. It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate layout schemes, however this layout has been shown to produce good results and is intended as a guideline.

The high-side MOSFET gate drive is designed to reduce the PH pin voltage ringing. The internal IC rails are isolated to decrease the noise sensitivity. A package bond wire scheme is used to lower the parasitics effects. To achieve the best EMI performance, external component selection and board layout are equally important.
