FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The TPS54525 is an adaptive on-time D-CAP2™
mode synchronous buck converter. The TPS54525
enables system designers to complete the suite of
various end equipment’s power bus regulators with a
cost effective, low component count, low standby
current solution. The main control loop for the
TPS54525 uses the D-CAP2™ mode control which
provides a very fast transient response with no
external compensation components. The TPS54525
also has a proprietary circuit that enables the device
to adopt to both low equivalent series resistance
(ESR) output capacitors, such as POSCAP or SPCAP, and ultra-low ESR ceramic capacitors. The
device operates from 4.5-V to 18-V VIN input. The
output voltage can be programmed between 0.76 V
and 5.5 V. The device also features an adjustable
soft start time and a power good function. The
TPS54525 is available in the 14-pin HTSSOP
package, and designed to operate from –40°C to
85°C.

SLVSB82 – MAY 2012
OVERVIEW
The TPS54525 is a 5.5-A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated N-channel MOSFETs. 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 TPS54525 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
TPS54525 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The
TPS54525 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.
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 1. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is
6 μA.

(1)
The TPS54525 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-bycycle basis until it coincides with the time dictated by (1-D), where D is the duty cycle of the converter. This
scheme prevents the initial sinking of the pre-bias output, and ensure that the out voltage (VO) starts and ramps
up smoothly into regulation and the control loop is given time to transition from pre-biased start-up to normal
mode operation.
Power Good
The TPS54525 has power-good open drain output. The power good function is activated after soft start has
finished. The power good function becomes active after 1.7 times soft-start time. When the output voltage is
within -10% of the target value, internal comparators detect power good state and the power good signal
becomes high. Rpg resister value ,which is connected between PG and VREG5, is required from 25kΩ to 150kΩ.
If the feedback voltage goes under 15% of the target value, the power good signal becomes low.

VREG5
VREG5 is an internally generated voltage source used by the TPS54525. It is derived directly from the input
voltage and is nominally regulated to 5.5 V when the input voltage is above 5.6 V. The output of the VREG5
regulator is the input to the internal UVLO function. VREG5 must be above the UVLO wake up threshold voltage
(3.6 V typical) for the TPS54525 to function. Connect a 1.0 µF capacitor between pin 3 of the TPS54525 and
power ground for proper regulation of the VREG5 output. The VREG5 output voltage is available for external
use. It is recommended to use no more than 5 mA for external loads. The VREG5 output is disabled when the
TPS54525 EN pin is open or pulled low.
Output Discharge Control
TPS54525 discharges the output when EN is low, or the controller is turned off by the protection functions (OVP,
UVP, UVLO and thermal shutdown). The output is discharged by an internal 50-Ω MOSFET which is connected
from VO to PGND. The internal low-side MOSFET is not turned on during the output discharge operation to
avoid the possibility of causing negative voltage at the output.
Current Protection
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. If the measured voltage is
above the voltage proportional to the current limit, Then , the device constantly monitors the low-side FET switch
voltage, which is proportional to the switch current, during the low-side on-time.
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.
There are some important considerations for this type of overcurrent protection. The load current one half of the
peak-to-peak inductor current higher than the overcurrent 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 undervoltage protection circuit to be activated. When the over current
condition is removed, the output voltage returns to the regulated value. This protection is non-latching.
Over/Under Voltage Protection
TPS54525 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect over and under voltage. When the feedback
voltage becomes higher than 125% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit
latches as the high-side MOSFET driver turns off and the low-side MOSFET turns on. When the feedback
voltage becomes lower than 65% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes high and an internal
UVP delay counter begins. After 250 μs, the device latches off both internal top and bottom MOSFET. This
function is enabled approximately 1.7 x softstart time.
UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lock out protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is lower
than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS54525 is shut off. This is protection is non-latching.
Thermal Shutdown
TPS54525 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.

Figure 14. Shows the schematic diagram for this design example.
Output Voltage Resistors Selection
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. It is recommended to use
1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start by using Equation 2 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at very light loads consider using larger value resistors, too high of resistance will be more
susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VFB input current will be more noticeable.

Output Filter Selection
The output filter used with the TPS54525 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at:
FP =
1
2p LOUT ´ COUT
(3)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS54525. 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 3 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

Optional
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.
Since the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value will increase as the output
voltage increases. For higher output voltages at or above 1.8 V, additional phase boost can be achieved by
adding a feed forward capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 4,
Equation 5 and Equation 6. 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.
Use 650 kHz for fSW. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 5 and the RMS
current of Equation 6.

For this design example, the calculated peak current is 6.01 A and the calculated RMS current is 5.5 A. The
inductor used is a TDK SPM6530-1R5M100 with a peak current rating of 11.5 A and an RMS current rating of 11
A.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54525 is intended for use
with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 22uF to 68uF. Use Equation 7 to
determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

(7)
For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22uF 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 4A.
Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54525 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 from pin 14 to ground is recommended to improve the EMI performance. 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.

A 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 to GND pin for proper operation. It is
recommended to use a ceramic capacitor.
THERMAL INFORMATION
This PowerPad™ package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be directly to an external
heartsick. 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 PowerPAD™ package and how to use the advantage of its heat dissipating
abilities, refer to Technical Brief, PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package, Texas Instruments Literature No.
SLMA002 and Application Brief, PowerPAD™ Made Easy, Texas Instruments Literature No. SLMA004.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the input switching current loop as small as possible.
Keep the SW node as physically small and short as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance and
inductance and to minimize radiated emissions. Kelvin connections should be brought from the output to the
feedback pin of the device.
Keep analog and non-switching components away from switching components.
Make a single point connection from the signal ground to power ground.
Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
VREG5 capacitor should be placed near the device, and connected PGND.
Output capacitor should be connected to a broad pattern of the PGND.
Voltage feedback loop should be as short as possible, and preferably with ground shield.
Lower resistor of the voltage divider which is connected to the VFB pin should be tied to SGND.
Providing sufficient via is preferable for VIN, SW and PGND connection.
PCB pattern for VIN and SW should be as broad as possible.
VIN Capacitor should be placed as near as possible to the device.
The top side power ground (PGND) copper fill area near the IC should be as large as possible. This will aid in
thermal dissipation as well lower conduction losses in the ground return
Exposed pad of device must be connected to PGND with solder. The PGND area under the IC should be as
large as possible and completely cover the exposed thermal pad. The bottom side of the board should
contain a large copper area under the device that is directly connected to the exposed area with small
diameter vias. Small diameter vias will prevent solder from being drawn away from the exposed thermal pad.
Any additional internal layers should also contain copper ground areas under the device and be connected to
the thermal vias.
