description
The TPS5103 is a synchronous buck dc/dc controller, designed for notebook PC system power. The controller
has three user-selectable operation modes available: hysteretic mode, fixed-frequency PWM control, or SKIP
control.
In high-current applications, where fast transient response is advantageous for reducing bulk capacitance, the
hysteretic mode is selected by connecting the RT pin to VREF5. Selecting the PWM/SKIP modes for less
demanding transient applications is ideal for conserving notebook battery life under light load conditions. The
device includes high-side and low-side MOSFET drivers capable of driving low rds(on) N-channel MOSFETs.
The user-selectable overcurrent protection (OCP) threshold is set by an external TRIP-pin resistor in order to
protect the system. The TPS5103 is configured so that a current-sense resistor is not required, improving the
operating efficiency.

detailed description
REF
The reference voltage is used for the output voltage setting and the voltage protection(COMP). The tolerance
is 1.5% typically.
VREF5
An internal linear voltage regulator is used for the high-side driver bootstrap voltage. Since the input voltage
range is from 4.5 V to 25 V, this voltage offers a fixed voltage for the bootstrap voltage so that the design for
the bootstrap is much easier. The tolerance is 6%.
hysteretic comparator
The hysteretic comparator is used to regulate the output voltage of the synchronous-buck converter. The
hysteresis is set internally and is typically 9.7 mV. The total delay time from the comparator input to the driver
output is typically 400 ns for going both high and low.
error amplifier
The error amplifier is used to sense the output voltage of the synchronous buck converter. The negative input
of the error amplifier is connected to the VREF (1.185 V) with a resistive divider network. The output of the error
amplifier is brought out to the FB terminal to be used for loop-gain compensation.
low-side driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive low-rds(on) n-channel MOSFETs. The maximum drive voltage is 5 V from
VREF5. The current rating of the driver is typically 1.2 A at sink current, and –1.5 A at source current.
high-side driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive low-rds(on) n-channel MOSFETs. The current rating of the driver is 1.2 A
at sink current, and –1.7 A at source current. When configured as a floating driver, the bias voltage to the driver
is developed from VREF5, limiting the maximum drive voltage between OUT_u and LL to 5 V. The maximum
voltage that can be applied between LH and OUTGND is 30 V.
driver deadtime control
The deadtime control prevents shoot-through current from flowing through the main power FETs. During
switching transitions the deadtime control actively controls the turnon time of the MOSFET drivers. The typical
deadtime from the low-side-driver-off to the high-side-driver-on is 90 ns, and 110 ns from high-side-driver-off
to low-side-driver-on.
COMP
COMP is designed for use with a regulation-output monitor. COMP also functions as an internal comparator
used for any voltage protection such as the input under voltage protection. If the input voltage is lower than the
setpoint, the comparator turns off and prevents external parts from being damaged. The investing terminal of
the comparator is internally connected to REF (1.185 V).
current protection
Current protection is achieved by sensing the high-side power MOSFET drain-to-source voltage drop during
on-time through VCC_SENSE and LL terminals. An external resistor between VREG5V_IN and TRIP, with the
an internal current source connected to the current comparator negative input, adjusts the current limit. The
typical internal current source value is 15 µA in PWM mode, and 5 µA in SKIP mode. When the voltage on the
positive terminal is lower than the negative terminal, the current comparator turns on the trigger, and then
activates the oscillator. This oscillator repeatedly resets the trigger until the overcurrent condition is removed.
The capacitor on the CT terminal can be open or added to adjust the reset frequency.

detailed description (continued)
softstart
SOFTSTART sets the sequencing of the output for any possibility. The capacitor value for a start-up time can
be calculated by the following equation:
C = 2 x T (µF)
Where C is the external capacitor value, and T is the required start-up time in (ms).
standby
The controller can be switched into the standby mode by grounding the STBY terminal. When it is in standby
mode, the quiescent current is less than 1.0 µA.
UVLO
The under-voltage lockout (ULVO) threshold is approximately 3.8 V. The typical hysteresis is 55 mV.
5-V switch
If the internal 5-V switch senses a 5-V input from REG5V, the internal 5-V linear regulator will be disconnected
from the MOSFET drivers. The external 5 V will be used for both the low-side driver and the high-side bootstrap,
thus, increasing the efficiency.
PWM/SKIP switch
The PWM/SKIP switch selects the output operating mode. This controller has three operational modes, PWM,
SKIP, and hysteretic. The PWM and SKIP mode control should be used for slower-transient applications.
oscillator
The oscillator gives a triangle wave by connecting an external resistor to RT and an external capacitor to CT.
The voltage amplitude is 0.43 V ~ 1.17 V. This wave is connected to the noninverting input of the PWM
comparator.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
overshoot of output rectangle wave
The drivers in the TPS5103 controller are fast and can produce high transients on VCC or the junction of Q1 and
Q2 (shown below). Care must be taken to insure that these transients do not exceed the absolute maximum
rating for the device or associated external component. A low-ESR capacitor connected directly from Q1 drain
to Q2 source can greatly reduce transient pulses on VCC. Also, Q1 turnon speed can be reduced by adding a
resistor (5 – 15 Ω) in series with OUT_u. Poor layout of the switching node (V1 in Figure 36) can result in the
requirement for additional snubber circuitry required from V1 to ground.

The design shown in this data sheet is a reference design for a general power supply application. An evaluation
module (EVM), TPS5103EVM-136 (SLVP136), is available for customer testing and evaluation. The intent is
to allow a customer to fully evaluate the given design using the plug-in EVM supply shown here. For subsequent
customer board revisions, the EVM design can be copied onto the users PCB to shorten design cycle time,
component count, and board cost.
To help the customers design the power supply using the TPS5103, some key design procedures are shown
in Figure 39.

output voltage setpoint calculation
The output voltage is set by the reference voltage and the voltage divider. In the TPS5102, the reference voltage
is 1.185 V, and the divider is composed of two resistors in the EVM design that are R4 and R5, or R14 and R15.
The equation for the setpoint is shown below.
R2
+ VR1 * VVref
O

Where R1 (> 10 kΩ) is the top resistor R2 is the bottom resistor (kΩ), VO is the required output voltage, and Vref
is the reference voltage (1.185 V in TPS5103).
Example: R1 = 1 kΩ; Vref = 1.185 V; VO = 1.8 V, then R2 = 1.9 kΩ.
Some of the most popular output voltage setpoints are calculated in Table 2.

If higher precision resistor is used, the output voltage setpoint can be more accurate.
In some applications, the output voltage is required to be lower than the reference voltage. With a few extra
components, this lower voltage can be easily achieved. Figure 40 shows the method for accomplishing this.

In the schematic, Rz1, Rz2, and the Zener are the extra components. Rz1 is used to give the Zener enough
current to build up the Zener voltage. The Zener voltage is added to INV through Rz2. Therefore, the voltage
on INV is still equal to the IC internal voltage (1.185 V), even if the output voltage is regulated at a lower setpoint.
The equation for setting up the output voltage is shown below:

and VO is the required output voltage setpoint.
Example: Assuming the required output voltage setpoint is VO = 0.8 V, V(z) = 5 V, R1 = 1 kΩ; R2 = 1 kΩ, then
the Rz2 = 2.43 kΩ.

time constant (s).
For example: VI = 5 V, VO = 1.8 V, CO = 680 µF; ESR = 40 mΩ; ESL = 3 nH; L(O) = 6 µH; Td = 0.5 µs.
Then, the frequency (fs) = 122 kHz.
output inductor ripple current
The output inductor current ripple can affect not only the efficiency and the inductor saturation, but also the
output voltage capacitor selection. The equation is exhibited as below:

Where I(ripple) is the peak-to-peak ripple current (A) through inductor; VI is the input voltage, VO is the output
voltage, IO is the output current, rds(on) is the on-time resistance of MOSFET (Ω), D is the duty cycle, and Ts
is the switching cycle (S). From the equation, it can be seen that the current ripple can be adjusted by changing
the output inductor value.
Example: VI = 5 V, VO = 1.8 V, IO = 5 A, rds(on) = 10 mΩ, RL = 5 mΩ, D = 0.36, Ts = 10 µs, L(O) = 6 µH
Then, the I(ripple) = 2 A.

Where II(rms) is the input RMS current in the input capacitor (A), IO is the output current (A), and D is the duty

voltage, so it is the worst case design for the input capacitor ripple current.
Example: IO = 5 A; D = 0.36
Then, II(rms)= 3.36 A

The softstart timing can be adjusted by selecting the soft-start capacitor value. The equation is shown below.

Where C(soft) is the softstart capacitance (µF), T(soft) is the start-up time on the softstart terminal (s).
Example: T(soft) = 5 ms, so, C(soft) = 0.01 µF.
current protection
The current protection in the TPS5103 is set using an internal current source and an external resistor to set up
the current limit. The sensed, high-side MOSFET drain-to-source voltage drop is compared to the set point, if
the voltage drop exceeds the limit, the internal oscillator is activated, and continuously resets the current limit
until the over-current condition is removed. The equation below should be used for calculating the external
resistor value for current protection:

Example: PWM mode or HYS mode
rds(on) = 10 mΩ, I(trip) = 5 A, Iind(p-p) = 2 A, so Rcl = 4 kΩ

The loop-gain concept is used to design a stable and fast feedback control. The loop-gain equation is derived
by the control-to-output transfer function times the compensation. The equation is shown below.
Loop
* gain + Vod X
Comp
By using a bode plot, the amplitude and the phase of this equation can be drawn with software such as MathCad.
In turn, the stability can be easily designed by adjusting the compensation perimeters. The sample bode plot
shown in Figure 45 explains the phase margin, gain margin, and the crossover frequency.
The gain is drawn as 20 log (loop-gain), and the phase is in degrees. To explain them clearer, 180 degrees is
added to the phase, so that the gain and phase share the same zero.
Where the gain curve touches the zero is the crossover frequency. The higher this frequency is, the faster the
transient response is, since the transient recovery time is 1/(crossover frequency). The phase to the zero is the
phase margin at the crossover frequency. The phase margin should be at least 60 degrees to cover all the
condition changes, such as temperature. The gain margin is the gap between the gain curve and the zero when
the phase curve touches the zero. This margin should be at least 20 dB to assure the stability over all conditions.

synchronization.

Square-wave synchronization
It can be seen that RT and CT are removed from the circuit. Therefore, two components are saved. This method
is good for the synchronization between two controllers. If the controller needs to be synchronized with a digital
circuit such as a DSP, usually the square-type clock signal is used. The configuration shown in Figure 47 is for
this type of application.
CT
TPS5103
RT
Figure 47. Square-Wave Synchronization
An external resistor is added into the circuit, but RT is still removed. CT is kept to be a part of the RC circuit
generating the triangle waveform for the controller. Assuming the peak value of the square is known, the resistor
and the capacitor can be adjusted to achieve the correct peak-to-peak value and the offset value.
layout guidelines
Good power supply results will only occur when care is given to proper design and layout. Layout will affect noise
pickup and generation, and can cause a good design to perform with less than expected results. With a range
of currents from milliamps to tens or even hundreds of amps, good power-supply layout is much more difficult
than most general PCB designs. The general design should proceed from the switching node to the output, then
back to the driver section and, finally, place the low-level components. Below are several specific points to
consider before layout of a TPS5103 design begins.
D
D
D
D
All sensitive analog components should be referenced to ANAGND. These include components connected
to VREF5, Vref, INV, LH, and COMP .
Analog ground and drive ground should be isolated as much as possible. Ideally, analog ground will connect
to the ground side of the bulk storage capacitors on VO, and drive ground will connect to the main ground
plane close to the source of the low-side FET.
Connections from the drivers to the gate of the power FETs should be as short and wide as possible to
reduce stray inductance. This becomes more critical if external gate resistors are not being used.
The bypass capacitor for VCC should be placed close to the TPS5103.

When configuring the high-side driver as a floating driver, the connection from LL to the power FETs should
be as short and as wide as possible.
When configuring the high-side driver as a floating driver, the bootstrap capacitor (connected from LH to
LL) should be placed close to the TPS5103.
When configuring the high-side driver as a ground-referenced driver, LL should be connected to DRVGND.
The bulk-storage capacitors across VI should be placed close to the power FETS. High-frequency bypass
capacitors should be placed in parallel with the bulk capacitors and connected close to the drain of the
high-side FET and to the source of the low-side FET.
High-frequency bypass capacitors should be placed across the bulk-storage capacitors on VO.
LH and LL should be connected very close to the drain and source, respectively, of the high-side FET. LH
and LL should be routed very close to each other to minimize differential-mode noise coupling to these
traces. Ceramic-decoupling capacitors should be placed close to where VCC connects to VI, to reduce
high-frequency noise coupling on VCC.
The output-voltage sensing trace should be isolated by either ground trace or VCC trace.
test results
The tests are conducted at TA = 25°C, the point voltage is 5 V.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
High-current applications are described in Table 8. The values are recommendations based on actual test
circuits. Many variations are possible based on the requirements of the user. Performance of the circuit is
dependent upon the layout rather than on the specific components, if the device parameters are not exceeded.
The power stage, having the highest current levels and greatest dv/dt rates, should be given the most attention,
as both the supply and load can be severely affected by the power levels and edge rates.
