With internally-determined operating frequency, soft start time, and control loop compensation, these converters provide many features with a minimum of external components. Channel 1 overcurrent protection is set at 3 A, while Channel 2 overcurrent protection level is selected by connecting a pin to ground, to BP, or left floating. The setting levels are used to allow for scaling of external components for applications not needing the full load capability of both outputs.

Each PWM channel contains an internally-compensated error amplifier, current mode pulse width modulator (PWM), switch MOSFET, enable, and fault protection circuitry. Common to the two channels are the internal voltage regulator, voltage reference, clock oscillator, and output voltage sequencing functions. DESIGN HINT The TPS5428x contains internal slope compensation and loop compensation components; therefore, the external L-C filter must be selected appropriately so that the resulting control loop meets criteria for stability. This approach differs from an externally-compensated controller, where the L-C filter is generally selected first, and the compensation network is found afterwards. (See Feedback Loop and L-C Filter Selection section.) NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, the term TPS5428x applies to both the TPS54283 and TPS54286. Also, unless otherwise noted, a label with a lowercase x appended implies the term applies to both outputs of the two modulator channels. For example, the term ENx implies both EN1 and EN2. Unless otherwise noted, all parametric values given are typical. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics for minimum and maximum values. Calculations should be performed with tolerance values taken into consideration. Voltage Reference The bandgap cell common to both outputs, trimmed to 800 mV. Oscillator The oscillator frequency is internally fixed at two times the SWx node switching frequency. The two outputs are internally configured to operate on alternating switch cycles (that is, 180° out of phase). Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) and Startup When the voltage at the PVDD2 pin is less than 4.1 V, a portion of the internal bias circuitry is operational, and all other functions are held OFF. All of the internal MOSFETs are also held OFF. When the PVDD2 voltage rises above the UVLO turn-on threshold, the state of the enable pins determines the remainder of the internal startup sequence. If either output is enabled (ENx pulled low), the BP regulator turns on, charging the BP capacitor with a 20 mA current. When the BP pin is greater than 4 V, PWM is enabled and soft start begins, depending on the SEQ mode of operation and the EN1 and EN2 settings. Note that the internal regulator and control circuitry are powered from PVDD2. The voltage on PVDD1 may be higher or lower than PVDD2. (See the Dual Supply Operation section.) Enable and Timed Turn On of the Outputs Each output has a dedicated (active low) enable pin. If left floating, an internal current source pulls the pin to PVDD2. By grounding, or by pulling the ENx pin to below approximately 1.2 V with an external circuit, the associated output is enabled and soft start is initiated. If both enable pins are left in the high state, the device operates in a shutdown mode, where the BP regulator is shut down and minimal functions are active. The total standby current from both PVDD pins is approximately 70 µA at 12-V input supply. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54283 TPS54286 TPS54283,, TPS54286 www.ti.com SLUS749C – JULY 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007 An R-C connected to an ENx pin may be used to delay the turn-on of the associated output after power is applied to PVDDx (see Figure 15). After power is applied to PVDD2, the voltage on the ENx pin slowly decays towards ground. Once the voltage decays to approximately 1.2 V, then the output is enabled and the startup sequence begins. If it is desired to enable the outputs of the device immediately upon the application of power to PVDD2, then omit these two components and tie the ENx pin to GND directly. If an R-C circuit is used to delay the turn-on of the output, the resistor value must be much less than 1.2 V / 6µA or 200 kΩ. A suggested value is 51 kΩ. This resistor value allows the ENx voltage to decay below the 1.2-V threshold while the 6-µA bias current flows. The capacitor value required to delay the startup time (after the application of PVDD2) is shown in Equation 1.

Startup Delay with R-C on Enable DESIGN HINT If delayed output voltage startup is not necessary, simply connect EN1 and EN2 to GND. This configuration allows the outputs to start immediately on valid application of PVDD2. If ENx is allowed to go high after the Outputx has been in regulation, the upper MOSFET shuts off, and the output decays at a rate determined by the output capacitor and the load. The internal pulldown MOSFET remains in the OFF state. (See the Bootstrap for N-Channel MOSFET section.)

During power-on, the state of the SEQ pin is detected. Based on whether the pin is tied to BP, to GND, or left floating, the outputs behave as described in Table 1. Table 1.

SEQ Pin Floating Soft Start Each output has a dedicated soft start circuit. The soft start voltage is an internal digital reference ramp to one of two noninverting inputs of the error amplifier. The other input is the (internal) precision 0.8-V reference. The total ramp time for the FB voltage to charge from 0 V to 0.8 V is about 2.1 ms. During a soft start interval, the TPS5428x output slowly increases the voltage to the noninverting input of the error amplifier. In this way, the output voltage ramps up slowly until the voltage on the noninverting input to the error amplifier reaches the internal 0.8 V reference voltage. At that time, the voltage at the noninverting input to the error amplifier remains at the reference voltage. NOTE: To avoid a disturbance in the output voltage during the stepping of the digital soft start, a minimum output capacitance of 50 µF is recommended. Also see Feedback Loop and Inductor-Capacitor (L-C) Filter Selection Once the filter and compensation components have been established, laboratory measurements of the physical design should be performed to confirm converter stability. During the soft start interval, pulse-by-pulse current limiting is in effect. If an overcurrent pulse is detected, six PWM pulses are skipped to allow the inductor current to decay before another PWM pulse is applied. (See the Output Overload Protection section.) There is no pulse skipping if a current limit pulse is not detected.

Output Voltage Regulation Each output has a dedicated feedback loop comprised of a voltage setting divider, an error amplifier, a pulse width modulator, and a switching MOSFET. The regulation output voltage is determined by a resistor divider connecting the output node, the FBx pin, and GND (see Figure 20). Assuming the value of the upper voltage setting divider is known, the value of the lower divider resistor for a desired output voltage is calculated by Equation 2.

An internal series connected R-C circuit from the gM amplifier output to ground serves as the compensation network for the converter. The signal from the error amplifier output is then buffered and combined with a slope compensation signal before it is mirrored to be referenced to the SW node. Here, it is compared with the current feedback signal to create a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal-fed to drive the upper MOSFET switch. A simplified equivalent circuit of the signal control path is depicted in Figure 21.

Because the TPS5428x contains internal slope compensation and loop compensation components, the external L-C filter must be selected appropriately so that the resulting control loop meets criteria for stability. This approach differs from an externally-compensated controller, where the L-C filter is generally selected first, and the compensation network is found afterwards. To find the appropriate L and C filter combination, the Output-to-Vc signal path plots (see the next section) of gain and phase are used along with other design criterial to aid in finding the combinations that best results in a stable feedback loop.

Modifying The Feedback Loop Within the limits of the internal compensation, there is flexibility in the selection of the inductor and output capacitor values. A smaller inductor increases ripple current, and raises the resonant frequency, thereby increasing the required value of output capacitance. A smaller capacitor could also be used, increasing the resonant frequency, and increasing the overall loop bandwidth—perhaps at the expense of adequate phase margin. The internal compensation of the TPS54x8x is designed for capacitors with an ESR zero frequency between 20kHz and 60kHz. It is possible, with additional feedback compensation components, to use capacitors with higher or lower ESR zero frequencies. For either case, the components C1 and R3 (ref. Figure 29 ) are added to re-compensate the feedback loop for stability. In this configuration a low frequency pole is followed by a higher frequency zero. The placement of this pole-zero pair is dependent on the type of output capacitor used, and the desired closed loop frequency response.

Optional Loop Compensation Components NOTE: Once the filter and compensation components have been established, laboratory measurements of the physical design should be performed to confirm converter stability. Using High-ESR Output Capacitors If a high ESR capacitor is used in the output filter, a zero appears in the loop response that could lead to instability. To compensate, a small R-C series connected network is placed in parallel with the lower voltage setting divider resistor (Ref Figure 29). The values of the components are determined such that a pole is placed at the same frequency as the ESR zero and a new zero is placed at a frequency location conducive to good loop stability. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54283 TPS54286 TPS54283,, TPS54286 www.ti.com SLUS749C – JULY 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007 The value of the resistor is calculated using a ratio of impedances to match the ratio of ESR zero frequency to the desired zero frequency.

The value of C1 is found by determining the frequency to place the low frequency pole. The minimum frequency to place the pole is 1 kHz. Any lower, and the time constant will be too slow and interfere with the internal soft start. (Ref. Soft Start) The upper bound for the pole frequency is determined by the operating frequency of the converter. It is 3 kHz for the TPS54x83, and 6 kHz for the TPS54x86.

The PWM duty cycle is limited to a maximum of 90%, allowing an external bootstrap capacitor to charge through an internal synchronous switch (between BP and BOOTx) during every cycle. When the PWM switch is commanded to turn ON, the energy used to drive the MOSFET gate is derived from the voltage on this capacitor. To allow the bootstrap capacitor to charge each switching cycle, an internal pulldown MOSFET (from SW to GND) is turned ON for approximately 140 ns at the beginning of each switching cycle. In this way, if, during light load operation, there is insufficient energy for the SW node to drive to ground naturally, this MOSFET forces the SW node toward ground and allow the bootstrap capacitor to charge. Because this is a charge transfer circuit, care must be taken in selecting the value of the bootstrap capacitor. It must be sized such that the energy stored in the capacitor on a per cycle basis is greater than the gate charge requirement of the MOSFET being used. DESIGN HINT For the bootstrap capacitor, use a ceramic capacitor with a value between 22 nF and 82 nF. DESIGN HINT For 5-V input applications, connect PVDDx to BP directly. This connection bypasses the internal control circuit regulator and provides maximum voltage to the gate drive circuitry. In this configuration, shutdown mode IDDSDN will be the same as quiescent IDDQ. Light Load Operation There is no special circuitry for pulse skipping at light loads. The normal characteristic of a nonsynchronous converter is to operate in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at an average load current less than one-half of the inductor peak-to-peak ripple current. Note that the amplitude of the ripple current is a function of input voltage, output voltage, inductor value, and operating frequency, as shown in Equation 14. 1 VIN - VOUT IDCM = ´ ´ d ´ TS L 2 (14) During discontinuous comduction mode operation the commanded pulse width may become narrower than the capability of the converter to resolve. To maintain the output voltage within regulation, skipping of switching pulses at light load conditions is a by-product of that mode. This condition may occur if the output capacitor is charged to a value greater than the output regulation voltage, and there is insufficient load to discharge the capacitor. A by-product of pulse skipping is an increase in the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54283 TPS54286 TPS54283,, TPS54286 www.ti.com SLUS749C – JULY 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007 SW Waveform SW Waveform VOUT Ripple VOUT Ripple Skipping VIN = 12 V VOUT = 5 V Inductor Current Steady State VIN = 12 V VOUT = 5 V Inductor Current Figure 31.

Skipping DESIGN HINT If additional output capacitance is required to reduce the output voltage ripple during DCM operation, be sure to recheck Feedback Loop and Inductor-Capacitor (L-C) Filter Selection and Maximum Output Capacitance sections. SW Node Ringing A portion of the control circuitry is referenced to the SW node. To ensure jitter-free operation, it is necessary to decrease the voltage waveform ringing at the SW node to less than 5 volts peak and of a duration of less than 30-ns. In addition to following good printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices, there are a couple of design techniques for reducing ringing and noise. SW Node Snubber Voltage ringing observable at the SW node is caused by fast switching edges and parasitic inductance and capacitance. If the ringing results in excessive voltage on the SW node, or erratic operation of the converter, an R-C snubber may be used to dampen the ringing and ensure proper operation over the full load range. DESIGN HINT A series-connected R-C snubber (C = between 330 pF and 1 nF, R = 10 Ω) connected from SW to GND reduces the ringing on the SW node. Bootstrap Resistor A small resistor in series with the bootstrap capacitor reduces the turn-on time of the internal MOSFET, thereby reducing the rising edge ringing of the SW node. DESIGN HINT A resistor with a value between 1Ω and 3Ω may be placed in series with the bootstrap capacitor to reduce ringing on the SW node. DESIGN HINT Placeholders for these components should be placed on the initial prototype PCBs in case they are needed.

At the end of the soft start time, a UV condition is declared and a fault is declared. During this fault condition, both PWM outputs are disabled and the small pulldown MOSFETs (from SWx to GND) are turned ON. This process ensures that both outputs discharge to GND in the event that overcurrent is on one output while the other is not loaded. The converter then enters a hiccup mode timeout before attempting to restart. "Frequency Division" means if an overcurrent pulse is detected, six clock cycles are skipped before a next PWM pulse is initiated, effectively dividing the operating frequency by six and preventing excessive current build up in the inductor. In the event of an overcurrent on either output after the output reaches regulation, pulse-by-pulse current limit is in effect for that output. In addition, an output undervoltage (UV) comparator monitors the FBx voltage (that follows the output voltage) to declare a fault if the output drops below 85% of regulation. During this fault condition, both PWM outputs are disabled and the small pulldown MOSFETs (from SWx to GND) are turned ON. This design ensures that both outputs discharge to GND, in the event that overcurrent is on one output while the other is not loaded. The converter then enters a hiccup mode timeout before attempting to restart. The overcurrent threshold for Output 1 is set nominally at 3.0 A. The overcurrent level of Output 2 is determined by the state of the ILIM2 pin. The ILIM setting of Output 2 is not latched in place and may be changed during operation of the converter. Table 2. Current Limit Threshold Adjustment for Output 2 ILIM2 Connection OCP Threshold for Output 2 BP or GND 1.5 A nominal setting (floating) 3.0 A nominal setting DESIGN HINT The overcurrent protection threshold refers to the peak current in the internal switch. Be sure to add one-half of the peak inductor ripple current to the dc load current in determining how close the actual operating point is to the OCP threshold. Operating Near Maximum Duty Cycle If the TPS5428x operates at maximum duty cycle, and if the input voltage is insufficient to support the output voltage (at full load or during a load current transient), then there is a possibility that the output voltage will fall from regulation and trip the output UV comparator. If this should occur, the TPS5428x protection circuitry will declare a fault and enter a shut down-and-restart cycle. DESIGN HINT Ensure that under ALL conditions of line and load regulation, there is sufficient duty cycle to maintain output voltage regulation. The operating duty cycle under continuous conduction (neglecting losses) is approximated using Equation 15. d= VOUT + VDIODE VIN + VDIODE (15) where • VDIODE is the voltage drop of the rectifier diode Dual Supply Operation It is possible to operate a TPS5428x from two supply voltages. If this application is desired, then the sequencing of the supplies must be such that PVDD2 is above the UVLO voltage before PVDD1 begins to rise. This level requirement ensures that the internal regulator and the control circuitry are in operation before PVDD1 supplies energy to the output. In addition, Output 1 must be held in the disabled state (EN1 high) until there is sufficient voltage on PVDD1 to support Output 1 in regulation.

The device junction temperature is a function of power dissipation, and the thermal impedance from the junction to the ambient. If the internal die temperature should reach the thermal shutdown level, the TPS5428x shuts off both PWMs and remains in this state until the die temperature drops below the hysteresis value, at which time the device restarts. The first step to determine the device junction temperature is to calculate the power dissipation. The power dissipation is dominated by the two switching MOSFETs and the BP internal regulator. The power dissipated by each MOSFET is composed of conduction losses and output (switching) losses incurred while driving the external rectifier diode. To find the conduction loss, first find the RMS current through the upper switch MOSFET. 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54283 TPS54286 TPS54283,, TPS54286 www.ti.com SLUS749C – JULY 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007 2 æ æ (D I 2 OUTPUTx ) IRMS(outputx) = D ´ ç (IOUTPUTx ) + ç çç ç 12 è è öö ÷÷ ÷ ÷÷ øø (16) where • • • D is the duty cycle IOUTPUTx is the DC output current ΔIOUTPUTx is the peak ripple current in the inductor for Outputx Notice the impact of the operating duty cycle on the result.

PD = PD(cond)output1 + PD(SW )output1 + PD(cond)output2 + PD(SW )output2 + VIN ´ Iq (19) The temperature rise of the device junction depends on the thermal impedance from junction to the mounting pad (See the Package Dissipation Ratings table), plus the thermal impedance from the thermal pad to ambient. The thermal impedance from the thermal pad to ambient depends on the PCB layout (PowerPAD interface to the PCB, the exposed pad area) and airflow (if any). See the PCB Layout Guidelines, Additional References section. The operating junction temperature is shown in Equation 20. TJ = TA + PD ´ qTH(pkg) + qTH(pad-amb) ( ) (20) Power Derating The TPS5428x delivers full current at ambient temperatures up to +85°C if the thermal impedance from the thermal pad to ambient is sufficiently low enough to maintain the junction temperature below the thermal shutdown level. At higher ambient temperatures, the device power dissipation must be reduced to maintain the junction temperature at or below the thermal shutdown level. Figure 35 illustrates the power derating for elevated ambient temperature under various airflow conditions. Note that these curves assume that the PowerPAD is properly soldered to the recommended thermal pad. (See the References section for further information.)

The PowerPAD derives its name and low thermal impedance from the large bonding pad on the bottom of the device. The circuit board must have an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the package. The dimensions of this area depend on the size of the PowerPAD package. Thermal vias connect this area to internal or external copper planes and should have a drill diameter sufficiently small so that the via hole is effectively plugged when the barrel of the via is plated with copper. This plug is needed to prevent wicking the solder away from the interface between the package body and the solder-tinned area under the device during solder reflow. Drill diameters of 0.33 mm (13 mils) work well when 1-oz. copper is plated at the surface of the board while simultaneously plating the barrel of the via. If the thermal vias are not plugged when the copper plating is performed, then a solder mask material should be used to cap the vias with a diameter equal to the via diameter of 0.1 mm minimum. This capping prevents the solder from being wicked through the thermal vias and potentially creating a solder void under the package. (See the Additional References section.) PCB Layout Guidelines The layout guidelines presented here are illustrated in the printed circuit board layout example given in Figure 36 and Figure 37. • The PowerPAD must be connected to a low current (signal) ground plane having a large copper surface area to dissipate heat. Extend the copper surface well beyond the IC package area to maximize thermal transfer of heat away from the IC. • Connect the GND pin to the PowerPAD through a 10-mil (.010 in, or 0.0254 mm) wide trace. • Place the ceramic input capacitors close to PVDD1 and PVDD2; connect using short, wide traces. • Maintain a tight loop of wide traces from SW1 or SW2 through the switch node, inductor, output capacitor and rectifier diode. Avoid using vias in this loop. • Use a wide ground connection from the input capacitor to the rectifier diode, placed as close to the power path as possible. Placement directly under the diode and the switch node is recommended. • Locate the bootstrap capacitor close to the BOOT pin to minimize the gate drive loop. • Locate voltage setting resistors and any feedback components over the ground plane and away from the switch node and the rectifier diode to input capacitor ground connection. • Locate snubber components (if used) close to the rectifier diode with minimal loop area. • Locate the BP bypass capacitor very close to the IC; a minimal loop area is recommended. • Locate the output ceramic capacitor close to the inductor output terminal between the inductor and any electrolytic capacitors, if used.

VOUT + VFD VIN(min) + VFD Dmax » Dmin » (21) VOUT + VFD VIN(max) + VFD (22) Using an assumed forward drop of 0.5 V for a schottky rectifier diode, the Channel 1 duty cycle is approximately 40.1% (minimum) to 48.7% (maximum) while the Channel 2 duty cycle is approximately 27.7% (minimum) to 32.2% (maximum). Inductor Selection The peak-to-peak ripple is limited to 30% of the maximum output current. This places the peak current far enough from the minimum overcurrent trip level to ensure reliable operation. For both Channel 1 and Channel 2, the maximum inductor ripple current is 600 mA. The inductor size is estimated in Equation 23. L min » VIN(max) - VOUT 1 ´ D min ´ ILRIP(max) fSW (23) The inductor values are • • L1 = 18.3 µH L2 = 15.3 µH The next higher standard inductor value of 22 µH is used for both inductors. The resulting ripple currents are : IRIPPLE » VIN(max) - VOUT 1 ´ Dmin ´ L fSW (24) Peak-to-peak ripple currents of 0.498 A and 0.416 A are estimated for Channel 1 and Channel 2 respectively. The RMS current through an inductor is approximated by Equation 25. IL(rms ) = (IL(avg) ) + 121 (IRIPPLE )2 2 (25) and is approximately 2.0 A for both channels. The peak inductor current is found using: IL(peak ) » IOUT(max) + 1 IRIPPLE 2 (26) An inductor with a minimum RMS current rating of 2.0 A and minimum saturation current rating of 2.25 A is required. A Coilcraft MSS1278-223ML 22-µH, 6.8-A inductor is selected. Rectifier Diode Selection A schottky diode is selected as a rectifier diode for its low forward voltage drop. Allowing 20% over VIN for ringing on the switch node, the required minimum reverse break-down voltage of the rectifier diode is: 34 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS54283 TPS54286 TPS54283,, TPS54286 www.ti.com SLUS749C – JULY 2007 – REVISED OCTOBER 2007 V(BR )R(min ) ³ 1.2 ´ VIN (27) The diode must have reverse breakdown voltage greater than 15.8 V, therefore a 20-V device is used. The average current in the rectifier diode is estimated by Equation 28. ID(avg) » IOUT(max ) ´ (1 - D ) (28) For this design, 1.2-A (average) and 2.25 A (peak) is estimated for Channel 1 and 1.5-A (average) and 2.21-A (peak) for Channel 2. An MBRS320, 20-V, 3-A diode in an SMC package is selected for both channels. This diode has a forward voltage drop of 0.4 V at 2 A. The power dissipation in the diode is estimated by Equation 29. PD(max ) » VFM ´ ID(avg) (29) For this design, the full load power dissipation is estimated to be 480 mW in D1, and 580 mW in D2. Output Capacitor Selection The TPS54283's internal compensation limits the selection of the output capacitors. From Figure 24, the internal compensation has a double zero resonance at about 3 kHz. The output capacitor is selected by Equation 30. 1 COUT = 2 2 4 ´ p ´ (fRES ) ´ L (30) Solving for COUT using • • fRES = 3 kHz L = 22 µH The resulting is COUT = 128 µF. The output ripple voltage of the converter is composed of the ripple voltage across the output capacitance and the ripple voltage across the ESR of the output capacitor. To find the maximum ESR allowable to meet the output ripple requirements the total ripple is partitioned, and the equation manipulated to find the ESR. ESR(max) = VRIPPLE(tot) - VRIPPLE(cap) IRIPPLE VRIPPLE(tot) = IRIPPLE - D fS ´ C OUT (31) Based on 128 µF of capacitance, 300-kHz switching frequency and 50-mV ripple voltage plus rounding up the ripple current to 0.5 A, and the duty cycle to 50%, the capacitive portion of the ripple voltage is 6.5 mV, leaving a maximum allowable ESR of 87 mΩ. To meet the ripple voltage requirements, a low-cost 100-µF electrolytic capacitor with 400 mΩ ESR (C5, C17) and two 10-µF ceramic capacitors (C3 and C4; and C18 and C19) with 2.5-mΩ ESR are selected. From the datasheets for the ceramic capacitors, the parallel combination provides an impedance of 28 mΩ @ 300 kHz for 14 mV of ripple.

For this design, 20 kΩ is selected. The lower resistors, R4 and R7 are found using the following equations. R4 = R7 = • • • • VFB ´ R2 VOUT1 - VFB (32) VFB ´ R9 VOUT2 - VFB (33) R2 = R9 = 20 kΩ VFB = 0.80 V R4= 3.80 kΩ (3.83 kΩ standard value is used) R7= 6.40 kΩ (6.34 kΩ standard value is used) Compensation Capacitors Checking the ESR zero of the output capacitors: fESR(zero) = • • • 1 2 ´ p ´ C ´ ESR (34) C = 100 µF ESR = 400 mΩ ESR(zero) = 3980 Hz Since the ESR zero of the main output capacitor is less than 20 kHz, an R-C filter is added in parallel with R4 and R7 to compensate for the electrolytic capacitors' ESR and add a zero about 40 kHz.

Higher voltage capacitors are selected to minimize capacitance loss at the DC bias voltage to ensure the capacitors maintains sufficient capacitance at the working voltage. Boot Strap Capacitor To ensure proper charging of the high-side FET gate and limit the ripple voltage on the boost capacitor, a 33-nF boot strap capacitor is used. ILIM Current limit must be set above the peak inductor current IL(peak). Comparing IL(peak) to the available minimum current limits, ILIM is left floating for the highest current limit level. SEQ The SEQ pin is left floating, leaving the enable pins to function independently. If the enable pins are tied together, the two supplies start-up ratiometrically. Alternatively, SEQ could be connected to BP or GND to provide sequential start-up. Power Dissipation The power dissipation in the TPS54283 is composed of FET conduction losses, switching losses and internal regulator losses. The RMS FET current is found using Equation 39. IRMS(Outputx) æ DI(Outputx ) ç 2 = D ´ ç (IOUTPUT ) + 12 ç ç è ( 2 ) ö÷÷ ÷ ÷ ø (39) This results in 1.05-A RMS for Channel 1 and 0.87-A RMS for Channel 2. Conduction losses are estimated by: 2 PCON = RDS(on ) ´ IQSW (rms ) ( ) (40) Conduction losses of 198 mW and 136 mW are estimated for Channel 1 and Channel 2 respectively. The switching losses are estimated in Equation 41. 2 PSW (V » IN(max ) ) ´ (C DJ + COSS )´ fSW 2 (41) From the data sheet of the MBRS320, the junction capacitance is 658 pF. Since this is large compared to the output capacitance of the TPS54x8x the FET capacitance is neglected, leaving switching losses of 17 mW for each channel. The regulator losses are estimated in Equation 42.
