The output voltage startup ramp is controlled by the
soft-start pin, which allows operation as either a
standalone power supply or in tracking configurations.
Power sequencing is also possible by configuring the
Enable and open-drain Power Good pins.
The device, available in adjustable and fixed output
voltage versions, is packaged in a 16-pin QFN
package measuring 3 × 3 mm (RGT).

With its wide operating input voltage range of 3V to
17V, the devices are ideally suited for systems
powered from either a Li-Ion or other batteries as well
as from 12V intermediate power rails. It supports up
to 1A continuous output current at output voltages
between 0.9V and 6V (with 100% duty cycle mode).
In Power Save Mode, the devices show quiescent
current of about 17μA from VIN. Power Save Mode,
entered automatically and seamlessly if load is small,
maintains high efficiency over the entire load range.
In Shutdown Mode, the device is turned off and
shutdown current consumption is less than 2μA.

The TPS6215X family is an easy to use synchronous
step down DC-DC converter optimized for
applications with high power density. A high switching
frequency of typically 2.5MHz allows the use of small
inductors and provides fast transient response as well
as high output voltage accuracy by utilization of the
DCS-Control™ topology.

The device is still functional down to Under Voltage Lockout (see parameter VUVLO).
Current into AVIN+PVIN pin.
This is the static current limit. It can be temporarily higher in applications due to internal propagation delay (see Current Limit And Short
Circuit Protection section).
This is the voltage regulated at the FB pin.
This is the accuracy provided by the device itself (line and load regulation effects are not included). For the fixed voltage versions the
(internal) resistive divider is included.
Line and load regulation depend on external component selection and layout (see Figure 17 and Figure 18).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Device Operation
The TPS6215X synchronous switched mode power converters are based on DCS-Control™ (Direct Control with
Seamless Transition into Power Save Mode), an advanced regulation topology, that combines the advantages of
hysteretic, voltage mode and current mode control including an AC loop directly associated to the output voltage.
This control loop takes information about output voltage changes and feeds it directly to a fast comparator stage.
It sets the switching frequency, which is constant for steady state operating conditions, and provides immediate
response to dynamic load changes. To get accurate DC load regulation, a voltage feedback loop is used. The
internally compensated regulation network achieves fast and stable operation with small external components
and low ESR capacitors.
The DCS-ControlTM topology supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode for medium and heavy load
conditions and a Power Save Mode at light loads. During PWM, it operates at its nominal switching frequency in
continuous conduction mode. This frequency is typically about 2.5MHz with a controlled frequency variation
depending on the input voltage. If the load current decreases, the converter enters Power Save Mode to sustain
high efficiency down to very light loads. In Power Save Mode the switching frequency decreases linearly with the
load current. Since DCS-ControlTM supports both operation modes within one single building block, the transition
from PWM to Power Save Mode is seamless without effects on the output voltage.
Fixed output voltage versions provide smallest solution size and lowest current consumption, requiring only 3
external components. An internal current limit supports nominal output currents of up to 1A.
The TPS6215X family offers both excellent DC voltage and superior load transient regulation, combined with
very low output voltage ripple, minimizing interference with RF circuits.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Operation
The TPS6215X operates with pulse width modulation in continuous conduction mode (CCM) with a nominal
switching frequency of 2.5 MHz or 1.25MHz, selectable with the FSW pin. The frequency variation in PWM is
controlled and depends on VIN, VOUT and the inductance. The device operates in PWM mode as long the output
current is higher than half the inductor's ripple current. To maintain high efficiency at light loads, the device
enters Power Save Mode at the boundary to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). This happens if the output
current becomes smaller than half the inductor's ripple current.
Power Save Mode Operation
The TPS6215X's built in Power Save Mode will be entered seamlessly, if the load current decreases. This
secures a high efficiency in light load operation. The device remains in Power Save Mode as long as the inductor
current is discontinuous.
In Power Save Mode the switching frequency decreases linearly with the load current maintaining high efficiency.
The transition into and out of Power Save Mode happens within the entire regulation scheme and is seamless in
both directions.
TPS6215X includes a fixed on-time circuitry. This on-time, in steady-state operation, can be estimated as:
t ON =
VOUT
× 400ns
V IN
(1)
For very small output voltages, an absolute minimum on-time of about 80ns is kept to limit switching losses.
Using tON, the typical peak inductor current in Power Save Mode can be approximated by:
I LPSM ( peak ) =
(V IN - VOUT )
× t ON
L
(2)
When VIN decreases to typically 15% above VOUT, the TPS6215X won't enter Power Save Mode, regardless of
the load current. The device maintains output regulation in PWM mode.

100% Duty-Cycle Operation
The duty cycle of the buck converter is given by D=Vout/Vin and increases as the input voltage comes close to
the output voltage. In this case, the device starts 100% duty cycle operation turning on the high-side switch
100% of the time. The high-side switch stays turned on as long as the output voltage is below the internal
setpoint. This allows the conversion of small input to output voltage differences, e.g. for longest operation time of
battery-powered applications. In 100% duty cycle mode, the low-side FET is switched off.
The minimum input voltage to maintain output voltage regulation, depending on the load current and the output
voltage level, can be calculated as:
spacing
VIN (min) = VOUT (min) + I OUT (RDS ( on ) + RL )
(3)
where
IOUT is the output current,
RDS(on) is the RDS(on) of the high-side FET and
RL is the DC resistance of the inductor used.
Enable / Shutdown (EN)
When Enable (EN) is set High, the device starts operation.
Shutdown is forced if EN is pulled Low with a shutdown current of typically 1.5µA. During shutdown, the internal
power MOSFETs as well as the entire control circuitry are turned off. The internal resistive divider pulls down the
output voltage smoothly. An internal pull-down resistor of about 400kΩ is connected and keeps EN logic low, if
the pin is floating. It is disconnected if the pin is High.
Connecting the EN pin to an appropriate output signal of another power rail provides sequencing of multiple
power rails.
Soft Start / Tracking (SS/TR)
The internal soft start circuitry controls the output voltage slope during startup. This avoids excessive inrush
current and ensures a controlled output voltage rise time. It also prevents unwanted voltage drops from
high-impedance power sources or batteries. When EN is set to start device operation, the device starts switching
after a delay of about 50µs and VOUT rises with a slope controlled by an external capacitor connected to the
SS/TR pin. See Figure 33 and Figure 34 for typical startup operation.
Connecting SS/TR directly to AVIN provides fastest startup behavior. The TPS6215X can start into a pre-biased
output. During monotonic pre-biased startup, the low-side MOSFET is not allowed to turn on until the device's
internal ramp sets an output voltage above the pre-bias voltage. If the device is set to shutdown (EN=GND),
undervoltage lockout or thermal shutdown, an internal resistor pulls the SS/TR pin down to ensure a proper low
level. Returning from those states causes a new startup sequence as set by the SS/TR connection.
A voltage supplied to SS/TR can be used for tracking a master voltage. The output voltage will follow this voltage
in both directions up and down (see APPLICATION INFORMATION).
Current Limit And Short Circuit Protection
The TPS6215X devices are protected against heavy load and short circuit events. At heavy loads, the current
limit determines the maximum output current. If the current limit is reached, the high-side FET will be turned off.
Avoiding shoot through current, the low-side FET will be switched on to sink the inductor current. The high-side
FET will turn on again, only if the current in the low-side FET has decreased below the low side current limit
threshold.
The output current of the device is limited by the current limit (see ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS). Due to
internal propagation delay, the actual current can exceed the static current limit during that time. The dynamic
current limit can be calculated as follows:

Power Good (PG)
The TPS6215X has a built in power good (PG) function to indicate whether the output voltage has reached its
appropriate level or not. The PG signal can be used for startup sequencing of multiple rails. The PG pin is an
open-drain output that requires a pull-up resistor (to any voltage below 7V). It can sink 2mA of current and
maintain it's specified logic low level. It is high impedance when the device is turned off due to EN, UVLO or
thermal shutdown.
Pin-Selectable Output Voltage (DEF)
The output voltage of the TPS6215X devices can be increased by 5% above the nominal voltage by setting the
DEF pin to High (1). When DEF is Low, the device regulates to the nominal output voltage. Increasing the nominal
voltage allows adapting the power supply voltage to the variations of the application hardware. More detailed
information on voltage margining using TPS6215X can be found in SLVA489. A pull down resistor of about
400kOhm is internally connected to the pin, to ensure a proper logic level if the pin is high impedance or floating.
The resistor is disconnected if the pin is High.
Frequency Selection (FSW)
To get high power density with very small solution size, a high switching frequency allows the use of small
external components for the output filter. However switching losses increase with the switching frequency. If
efficiency is the key parameter, more than solution size, the switching frequency can be set to half (1.25 MHz
typ.) by pulling FSW to High(1). Pull FSW to Low for high frequency operation (2.5 MHz typ.). Running with lower
frequency a higher efficiency, but also a higher output voltage ripple, is achieved. To get low ripple and full output
current at the lower switching frequency, it's recommended to use an inductor of 3.3uH. The switching frequency
can be changed during operation, if needed. A pull down resistor of about 400kOhm is internally connected to
the pin, to ensure a proper logic level if the pin is high impedance or floating. The resistor is disconnected if the
pin is High.
Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
If the input voltage drops, the under voltage lockout prevents misoperation of the device by switching off both the
power FETs. The under voltage lockout threshold is set typically to 2.7V. The device is fully operational for
voltages above the UVLO threshold and turns off if the input voltage trips the threshold. The converter starts
operation again once the input voltage exceeds the threshold by a hysteresis of typically 200mV.
Thermal Shutdown
The junction temperature (Tj) of the device is monitored by an internal temperature sensor. If Tj exceeds 160°C
(typ), the device goes into thermal shut down. Both the high-side and low-side power FETs are turned off and PG
goes high impedance. When Tj decreases below the hysteresis amount, the converter resumes normal
operation, beginning with Soft Start. To avoid unstable conditions, a hysteresis of typically 20°C is implemented
on the thermal shut down temperature.

Maximum allowed voltage is 7V. Therefore, it's recommended to connect it to VOUT, not VIN.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The following information is intended to be a guideline through the individual power supply design process.
Programming The Output Voltage
While the output voltage of the TPS62150 is adjustable, the TPS62151/2/3 are programmed to fixed output
voltages. For fixed output versions, the FB pin is pulled down internally and may be left floating. It is
recommended to connect to AGND to improve thermal resistance. The adjustable version can be programmed
for output voltages from 0.9V to 6V by using a resistive divider from VOUT to AGND. The voltage at the FB pin is
regulated to 800mV. The value of the output voltage is set by the selection of the resistive divider from
Equation 6 (see Figure 4). It is recommended to choose resistor values which allow a current of at least 2uA,
meaning the value of R2 shouldn't exceed 400kΩ. Lower resistor values are recommended for highest accuracy
and most robust design. For applications requiring lowest current consumption, the use of fixed output voltage
versions is recommended.

In case the FB pin gets opened, the device clamps the output voltage at the VOS pin internally to about 7.4V.
External Component Selection
The external components have to fulfill the needs of the application, but also the stability criteria of the devices
control loop. The TPS6215X is optimized to work within a range of external components. The LC output filters
inductance and capacitance have to be considered in conjunction, creating a double pole, responsible for the
corner frequency of the converter (see Output Filter And Loop Stability section). Table 1 can be used to simplify
the output filter component selection.

The values in the table are nominal values.
This LC combination is the standard value and recommended for most applications.
spacing
The TPS6215X can be run with an inductor as low as 1µH or 2.2µH. FSW should be set Low in this case.
However, for applications running with the low frequency setting (FSW=High) or with low input voltages, 3.3µH is
recommended. More detailed information on further LC combinations can be found in SLVA463.
Inductor Selection
The inductor selection is affected by several effects like inductor ripple current, output ripple voltage,
PWM-to-PSM transition point and efficiency. In addition, the inductor selected has to be rated for appropriate
saturation current and DC resistance (DCR). Equation 7 and Equation 8 calculate the maximum inductor current
under static load conditions.

Calculating the maximum inductor current using the actual operating conditions gives the minimum saturation
current of the inductor needed. A margin of about 20% is recommended to add. A larger inductor value is also
useful to get lower ripple current, but increases the transient response time and size as well. The following
inductors have been used with the TPS6215X and are recommended for use:

Using Equation 8, this current level can be adjusted by changing the inductor value.
Capacitor Selection
Output Capacitor
The recommended value for the output capacitor is 22uF. The architecture of the TPS6215X allows the use of
tiny ceramic output capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR). These capacitors provide low output
voltage ripple and are recommended. To keep its low resistance up to high frequencies and to get narrow
capacitance variation with temperature, it's recommended to use X7R or X5R dielectric. Using a higher value can
have some advantages like smaller voltage ripple and a tighter DC output accuracy in Power Save Mode (see
SLVA463).
Note: In power save mode, the output voltage ripple depends on the output capacitance, Its ESR and the peak
inductor current. Using ceramic capacitors provides small ESR and low ripple.

Input Capacitor
For most applications, 10µF will be sufficient and is recommended, though a larger value reduces input current
ripple further. The input capacitor buffers the input voltage for transient events and also decouples the converter
from the supply. A low ESR multilayer ceramic capacitor is recommended for best filtering and should be placed
between PVIN and PGND as close as possible to those pins. Even though AVIN and PVIN must be supplied
from the same input source, it's recommended to place a capacitance of 0.1uF from AVIN to AGND, to avoid
potential noise coupling. An RC, low-pass filter from PVIN to AVIN may be used but is not required.
Soft Start Capacitor
A capacitance connected between SS/TR pin and AGND allows a user programmable start-up slope of the
output voltage. A constant current source supports 2.5µA to charge the external capacitance. The capacitor
required for a given soft-start ramp time for the output voltage is given by:

where
CSS is the capacitance (F) required at the SS/TR pin and

NOTE
DC Bias effect: High capacitance ceramic capacitors have a DC Bias effect, which will
have a strong influence on the final effective capacitance. Therefore the right capacitor
value has to be chosen carefully. Package size and voltage rating in combination with
dielectric material are responsible for differences between the rated capacitor value and
the effective capacitance.

Tracking Function
If a tracking function is desired, the SS/TR pin can be used for this purpose by connecting it to an external
tracking voltage. The output voltage tracks that voltage. If the tracking voltage is between 50mV and 1.2V, the
FB pin will track the SS/TR pin voltage as described in Equation 11 and shown in Figure 37.

This works for rising and falling tracking voltages with the same behavior, as long as the input voltage is inside
the recommended operating conditions. When driving the SS/TR pin with an external voltage, do not exceed the
voltage rating of the SS/TR pin which is VIN+0.3V.
If the input voltage drops into undervoltage lockout or even down to zero, the output voltage will go to zero,
independent of the tracking voltage. Figure 38 shows how to connect devices to get ratiometric and simultaneous
sequencing by using the tracking function.

Figure 38. Sequence for Ratiometric and Simultaneous Startup
The resistive divider of R1 and R2 can be used to change the ramp rate of VOUT2 faster, slower or the same as
VOUT1.
A sequential startup is achieved by connecting the PG pin of VOUT1 to the EN pin of VOUT2. Ratiometric start
up sequence happens if both supplies are sharing the same soft start capacitor. Equation 10 calculates the soft
start time, though the SS/TR current has to be doubled. Details about these and other tracking and sequencing
circuits are found in SLVA470.
Note: If the voltage at the FB pin is below its typical value of 0.8V, the output voltage accuracy may have a wider
tolerance than specified.
Output Filter And Loop Stability
The devices of the TPS6215X family are internally compensated to be stable with L-C filter combinations
corresponding to a corner frequency to be calculated with Equation 12:
f LC =
1
2p L × C
(12)
Proven nominal values for inductance and ceramic capacitance are given in Table 1 and are recommended for
use. Different values may work, but care has to be taken on the loop stability which will be affected. More
information including a detailed L-C stability matrix can be found in SLVA463.
The TPS6215X devices, both fixed and adjustable versions, include an internal 25pF feedforward capacitor,
connected between the VOS and FB pins. This capacitor impacts the frequency behavior and sets a pole and
zero in the control loop with the resistors of the feedback divider, per equation Equation 13 and Equation 14:

Though the TPS6215x devices are stable without the pole and zero being in a particular location, adjusting their
location to the specific needs of the application can provide better performance in Power Save mode and/or
improved transient response. An external feedforward capacitor can also be added. A more detailed discussion
on the optimization for stability vs. transient response can be found in SLVA289 and SLVA466.
Layout Considerations
A proper layout is critical for the operation of a switched mode power supply, even more at high switching
frequencies. Therefore the PCB layout of the TPS6215X demands careful attention to ensure operation and to
get the performance specified. A poor layout can lead to issues like poor regulation (both line and load), stability
and accuracy weaknesses, increased EMI radiation and noise sensitivity.
Provide low inductive and resistive paths for loops with high di/dt. Therefore paths conducting the switched load
current should be as short and wide as possible. Provide low capacitive paths (with respect to all other nodes) for
wires with high dv/dt. Therefore the input and output capacitance should be placed as close as possible to the IC
pins and parallel wiring over long distances as well as narrow traces should be avoided. Loops which conduct an
alternating current should outline an area as small as possible, as this area is proportional to the energy radiated.
Also sensitive nodes like FB and VOS should be connected with short wires, not nearby high dv/dt signals (e.g.
SW). As they carry information about the output voltage, they should be connected as close as possible to the
actual output voltage (at the output capacitor). Signals not assigned to power transmission (e.g. feedback divider,
SS/TR capacitor) should refer to the signal ground (AGND) and always be separated from the power ground
(PGND).
In summary, the input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the PVIN and PGND pins of the IC.
This connections should be done with wide and short traces. The output capacitor should be placed such that its
ground is as close as possible to the IC's PGND pins - avoiding additional voltage drop in traces. This connection
should also be made short and wide. The inductor should be placed close to the SW pin and connect directly to
the output capacitor - minimizing the loop area between the SW pin, inductor, output capacitor and PGND pin.
The feedback resistors, R1 and R2, should be placed close to the IC and connect directly to the AGND and FB
pins. Those connections (including VOUT) to the resistors and even more to the VOS pin should stay away from
noise sources, such as the inductor. The VOS pin should connect in the shortest way to VOUT at the output
capacitor, while the VOUT connection to the feedback divider can connect at the load. The capacitor on the
SS/TR pin should be kept close to the IC and its return should be connected to AGND.
See Figure 39 for the recommended layout of the TPS6215X. AGND is connected to the Exposed Thermal Pad,
which is also connected to PGND and internal metal layers to get best thermal performance. The regulation loop
is closed from COUT directly to AGND with vias down to the AGND bottom layer. More detailed information can
be found in the EVM Users Guide, SLVU437.
The Exposed Thermal Pad must be soldered to the circuit board for mechanical reliability and to achieve
appropriate power dissipation. Although the Exposed Thermal Pad can be connected to a floating circuit board
trace, the device will have better thermal performance if it is connected to a larger ground plane. The Exposed
Thermal Pad is electrically connected to AGND.

THERMAL INFORMATION
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the
power-dissipation limits of a given component.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below:
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB by soldering the Exposed Thermal Pad
• Introducing airflow in the system
For more details on how to use the thermal parameters, see the application notes: Thermal Characteristics
Application Note (SZZA017), and (SPRA953).
The TPS6215X is designed for a maximum operating junction temperature (Tj) of 125°C. Therefore the maximum
output power is limited by the power losses that can be dissipated over the actual thermal resistance, given by
the package and the surrounding PCB structures. If the thermal resistance of the package is given, the size of
the surrounding copper area and a proper thermal connection of the IC can reduce the thermal resistance. To
get an improved thermal behavior, it's recommended to use top layer metal to connect the device with wide and
thick metal lines. Internal ground layers can connect to vias directly under the IC for improved thermal
performance.
If short circuit or overload conditions are present, the device is protected by limiting internal power dissipation.

Application Example As Power LED Supply
The TPS62150 can be used as a power supply for power LEDs. The FB pin can be easily set down to lower
values than nominal by using the SS/TR pin. With that, the voltage drop on the sense resistor is low to avoid
excessive power loss. Since this pin provides 2.5µA, the FB pin voltage can be adjusted by an external resistor
per Equation 15. This drop, proportional to the LED current, is used to regulate the output voltage (anode
voltage) to a proper level to drive the LED. Both analog and PWM dimming are supported with the TPS62150.
Figure 40 shows an application circuit, tested with analog dimming:

The device now supplies a constant current, set by the resistor at the FB pin, by regulating the output voltage
