The 500 kHz switching frequency allows less output inductance for the same output ripple requirement resulting in a smaller output inductor. Voltage Reference The voltage reference system produces a precision reference signal by scaling the output of a temperature stable bandgap circuit. The bandgap and scaling circuits are trimmed during production testing to an output of 1.221 V at room temperature. Enable (ENA) and Internal Slow Start The ENA pin provides electrical on/off control of the regulator. Once the ENA pin voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the regulator starts operation and the internal slow start begins to ramp. If the ENA pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator stops switching and the internal slow start resets. Connecting the pin to ground or to any voltage less than 0.5 V will disable the regulator and activate the shutdown mode. The quiescent current of the TPS5450 in shutdown mode is typically 18 µA. The ENA pin has an internal pullup current source, allowing the user to float the ENA pin. If an application requires controlling the ENA pin, use open drain or open collector output logic to interface with the pin. To limit the start-up inrush current, an internal slow-start circuit is used to ramp up the reference voltage from 0 V to its final value, linearly. The internal slow start time is 8 ms typically. Submit Documentation Feedback 7 TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The TPS5450 incorporates an undervoltage lockout circuit to keep the device disabled when VIN (the input voltage) is below the UVLO start voltage threshold. During power up, internal circuits are held inactive and the internal slow start is grounded until VIN exceeds the UVLO start threshold voltage. Once the UVLO start threshold voltage is reached, the internal slow start is released and device start-up begins. The device operates until VIN falls below the UVLO stop threshold voltage. The typical hysteresis in the UVLO comparator is 330 mV. Boost Capacitor (BOOT) Connect a 0.01 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor between the BOOT pin and PH pin. This capacitor provides the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are recommended due to their stable values over temperature. Output Feedback (VSENSE) and Internal Compensation The output voltage of the regulator is set by feeding back the center point voltage of an external resistor divider network to the VSENSE pin. In steady-state operation, the VSENSE pin voltage should be equal to the voltage reference 1.221 V. The TPS5450 implements internal compensation to simplify the regulator design. Since the TPS5450 uses voltage mode control, a type 3 compensation network has been designed on chip to provide a high crossover frequency and a high phase margin for good stability. See the Internal Compensation Network in the applications section for more details. Voltage Feed Forward The internal voltage feed forward provides a constant dc power stage gain despite any variations with the input voltage. This greatly simplifies the stability analysis and improves the transient response. Voltage feed forward varies the peak ramp voltage inversely with the input voltage so that the modulator and power stage gain are constant at the feed forward gain, i.e. VIN Feed Forward Gain + Ramp pk*pk (1) The typical feed forward gain of TPS5450 is 25. Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) Control The regulator employs a fixed frequency pulse-width-modulator (PWM) control method. First, the feedback voltage (VSENSE pin voltage) is compared to the constant voltage reference by the high gain error amplifier and compensation network to produce a error voltage. Then, the error voltage is compared to the ramp voltage by the PWM comparator. In this way, the error voltage magnitude is converted to a pulse width which is the duty cycle. Finally, the PWM output is fed into the gate drive circuit to control the on-time of the high-side MOSFET. Overcurrent Limiting Overcurrent limiting is implemented by sensing the drain-to-source voltage across the high-side MOSFET. The drain to source voltage is then compared to a voltage level representing the overcurrent threshold limit. If the drain-to-source voltage exceeds the overcurrent threshold limit, the overcurrent indicator is set true. The system will ignore the overcurrent indicator for the leading edge blanking time at the beginning of each cycle to avoid any turn-on noise glitches. Once overcurrent indicator is set true, overcurrent limiting is triggered. The high-side MOSFET is turned off for the rest of the cycle after a propagation delay. The overcurrent limiting mode is called cycle-by-cycle current limiting. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Sometimes under serious overload conditions such as short-circuit, the overcurrent runaway may still happen when using cycle-by-cycle current limiting. A second mode of current limiting is used, i.e. hiccup mode overcurrent limiting. During hiccup mode overcurrent limiting, the voltage reference is grounded and the high-side MOSFET is turned off for the hiccup time. Once the hiccup time duration is complete, the regulator restarts under control of the slow start circuit. Overvoltage Protection The TPS5450 has an overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions. The OVP circuit includes an overvoltage comparator to compare the VSENSE pin voltage and a threshold of 112.5% x VREF. Once the VSENSE pin voltage is higher than the threshold, the high-side MOSFET will be forced off. When the VSENSE pin voltage drops lower than the threshold, the high-side MOSFET will be enabled again. Thermal Shutdown The TPS5450 protects itself from overheating with an internal thermal shutdown circuit. If the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown trip point, the voltage reference is grounded and the high-side MOSFET is turned off. The part is restarted under control of the slow start circuit automatically when the junction temperature drops 14°C below the thermal shutdown trip point. PCB Layout Connect a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor to the VIN pin. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pin, and the TPS5450 ground pin. The best way to do this is to extend the top side ground area from under the device adjacent to the VIN trace, and place the bypass capacitor as close as possible to the VIN pin. The minimum recommended bypass capacitance is 4.7 µF ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric. There should be a ground area on the top layer directly underneath the IC, with an exposed area for connection to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground area to any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the ground side of the input and output filter capacitors as well. The GND pin should be tied to the PCB ground by connecting it to the ground area under the device as shown below. The PH pin should be routed to the output inductor, catch diode and boot capacitor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, the inductor should be located very close to the PH pin and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. The catch diode should also be placed close to the device to minimize the output current loop area. Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and the BOOT pin as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to the IC and minimize the conductor trace lengths. The component placements and connections shown work well, but other connection routings may also be effective. Connect the output filter capacitor(s) as shown between the VOUT trace and GND. It is important to keep the loop formed by the PH pin, Lout, Cout and GND as small as is practical. Connect the VOUT trace to the VSENSE pin using the resistor divider network to set the output voltage. Do not route this trace too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of the IC package and the device pin-out, the trace may need to be routed under the output capacitor. Alternately, the routing may be done on an alternate layer if a trace under the output capacitor is not desired. If using the grounding scheme shown in Figure 9, use a via connection to a different layer to route to the ENA pin.

Application Circuit, 12-V to 5.0-V Design Procedure The following design procedure can be used to select component values for the TPS5450. Alternately, the SWIFT™ Designer Software may be used to generate a complete design. The SWIFT™ Designer 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 Design Parameters For this design example, use the following as the input parameters: (1) DESIGN PARAMETER (1) EXAMPLE VALUE Input voltage range 10 V to 31 V Output voltage 5V Input ripple voltage 400 mV Output ripple voltage 30 mV Output current rating 5A Operating frequency 500 kHz As an additional constraint, the design is set up to be small size and low component height. Submit Documentation Feedback 11 TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 Switching Frequency The switching frequency for the TPS5450 is internally set to 500 kHz. It is not possible to adjust the switching frequency. Input Capacitors The TPS5450 requires an input decoupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor. The minimum recommended decoupling capacitance is 4.7 µF. A high quality ceramic type X5R or X7R is required. For some applications, a smaller value decoupling capacitor may be used, so long as the input voltage and current ripple ratings are not exceeded. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage, including ripple. This input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 2 : DVIN + I OUT(MAX) C BULK 0.25 ƒsw ǒ ) I OUT(MAX) Ǔ ESR MAX (2) Where IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current, fSW is the switching frequency, CIN is the input capacitor value and ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance of the input capacitor. For this design, the input capacitance consists of two 4.7 µF capacitors, C1 and C4, in parallel. An additional high frequency bypass capacitor, C5 is also used. The maximum RMS ripple current also needs to be checked. For worst case conditions, this can be approximated by Equation 3 : I OUT(MAX) I + CIN 2 (3) In this case the input ripple voltage would be 281 mV and the RMS ripple current would be 2.5 A. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors would be VIN max plus delta VIN/2. The chosen input decoupling capacitor is rated for 50 V and the ripple current capacity is greater than 2.5 A each, providing ample margin. It is very important that the maximum ratings for voltage and current are not exceeded under any circumstance. Additionally some bulk capacitance may be needed, especially if the TPS5450 circuit is not located within about 2 inches from the input voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical but it also should be rated to handle the maximum input voltage including ripple voltage and should filter the output so that input ripple voltage is acceptable. Output Filter Components Two components need to be selected for the output filter, L1 and C2. Since the TPS5450 is an internally compensated device, a limited range of filter component types and values can be supported. Inductor Selection To calculate the minimum value of the output inductor, use Equation 4: V ǒ Ǔ V * V OUT(MAX) IN(MAX) OUT L + MIN V K I F IN(MAX) IND OUT SW(MIN) (4) KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current. Three things need to be considered when determining the amount of ripple current in the inductor: the peak to peak ripple current affects the output ripple voltage amplitude, the ripple current affects the peak switch current and the amount of ripple current determines at what point the circuit becomes discontinuous. For designs using the TPS5450, KIND of 0.2 to 0.3 yields good results. Low output ripple voltages can be obtained when paired with the proper output capacitor, the peak switch current will be well below the current limit set point and relatively low load currents can be sourced before discontinuous operation. For this design example use KIND = 0.2 and the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 10.4 µH. A higher standard value is 15 µH, which is used in this design. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 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 5: I L(RMS) + Ǹ 1 I2 ) OUT(MAX) 12 ǒ V V OUT ǒVIN(MAX) * VOUTǓ L IN(MAX) OUT F Ǔ 2 SW(MIN) (5) and the peak inductor current can be determined with Equation 6: V I L(PK) + I OUT(MAX) ) 1.6 OUT ǒVIN(MAX) * VOUTǓ V IN(MAX) L OUT F SW(MIN) (6) For this design, the RMS inductor current is 5.004 A, and the peak inductor current is 5.34 A. The chosen inductor is a Sumida CDRH1127/LD-150 15µH. It has a minimum rated current of 5.65 A for both saturation and RMS current. In general, inductor values for use with the TPS5450 are in the range of 10 µH to 100 µH. 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 ripple 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. Due to the design of the internal compensation, it is desirable to keep the closed loop crossover frequency in the range 3 kHz to 30 kHz as this frequency range has adequate phase boost to allow for stable operation. For this design example, it is assumed that the intended closed loop crossover frequency will be between 2590 Hz and 24 kHz and also below the ESR zero of the output capacitor. Under these conditions the closed loop crossover frequency is related to the LC corner frequency by: f CO + f LC 2 85 VOUT (7) And the desired output capacitor value for the output filter to: 1 C OUT + 3357 L OUT f CO V OUT (8) For a desired crossover of 12 kHz and a 15-µH inductor, the calculated value for the output capacitor is 330 µF. The capacitor type should be chosen so that the ESR zero is above the loop crossover. The maximum ESR should be: 1 ESR MAX + 2p C OUT f CO (9) The maximum ESR of the output capacitor also determines the amount of output ripple as specified in the initial design parameters. The output ripple voltage is the inductor ripple current times the ESR of the output filter. Check that the maximum specified ESR as listed in the capacitor data sheet results in an acceptable output ripple voltage: VPP (MAX) = ESRMAX x VOUT x ( VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) NC x VIN(MAX) x LOUT x FSW (10) Where: ∆ VPP is the desired peak-to-peak output ripple. NC is the number of parallel output capacitors. FSW is the switching frequency. Submit Documentation Feedback 13 TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 For this design example, a single 330-µF output capacitor is chosen for C3. The calculated RMS ripple current is 143 mA and the maximum ESR required is 40 mΩ. A capacitor that meets these requirements is a Sanyo Poscap 10TPB330M, rated at 10 V with a maximum ESR of 35 mΩ and a ripple current rating of 3 A. An additional small 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor, C6 is also used in this design. The minimum ESR of the output capacitor should also be considered. For good phase margin, the ESR zero when the ESR is at a minimum should not be too far above the internal compensation poles at 24 kHz and 54 kHz. The selected output capacitor must also be rated for a voltage greater than the desired output voltage plus one half the ripple voltage. Any derating amount must also be included. The maximum RMS ripple current in the output capacitor is given by Equation 11: ICOUT(RMS) + 1 Ǹ12 ȡ VOUT ǒVIN(MAX) * VOUTǓ ȣ ȧVIN(MAX) LOUT FSW NCȧ Ȣ Ȥ (11) Where: NC is the number of output capacitors in parallel. FSW is the switching frequency. Other capacitor types can be used with the TPS5450, depending on the needs of the application. Output Voltage Setpoint The output voltage of the TPS5450 is set by a resistor divider (R1 and R2) from the output to the VSENSE pin. Calculate the R2 resistor value for the output voltage of 5 V using Equation 12: R1 1.221 R2 + V * 1.221 OUT (12) For any TPS5450 design, start with an R1 value of 10 kΩ. For an output voltage closest to but at least 5 V, R2 is 3.16 kΩ. Boot Capacitor The boot capacitor should be 0.01 µF. Catch Diode The TPS5450 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. B540A is chosen, with a reverse voltage of 40 V, forward current of 5 A, and a forward voltage drop of 0.5 V. ADVANCED INFORMATION Output Voltage Limitations Due to the internal design of the TPS5450, 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 87% and is given by: V OUTMAX + 0.87 14 ǒǒVINMIN * I OMAX Ǔ Ǔ ǒ 0.230 ) VD * I OMAX Submit Documentation Feedback Ǔ RL * VD (13) TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 Where VINMIN = minimum input voltage IOMAX = maximum load current VD = catch diode forward voltage.

The lower limit is constrained by the minimum controllable on time which may be as high as 200 ns.

Any design operating near the operational limits of the device should be carefully checked to assure proper functionality. Internal Compensation Network The design equations given in the example circuit can be used to generate circuits using the TPS5450. These designs are based on certain assumptions and will tend to always select output capacitors within a limited range of ESR values. If a different capacitor type is desired, it may be possible to fit one to the internal compensation of the TPS5450. Equation 15 gives the nominal frequency response of the internal voltage-mode type III compensation network: s s 1) 1) 2p Fz1 2p Fz2 H(s) + s s s s 1) 1) 1) 2p Fp0 2p Fp1 2p Fp2 2p Fp3 (15) ǒ ǒ Ǔ ǒ Ǔ ǒ Ǔ ǒ Ǔ Ǔ ǒ Ǔ Where Fp0 = 2165 Hz, Fz1 = 2170 Hz, Fz2 = 2590 Hz Fp1 = 24 kHz, Fp2 = 54 kHz, Fp3 = 440 kHz Fp3 represents the non-ideal parasitics effect. Using this information along with the desired output voltage, feed forward gain and output filter characteristics, the closed loop transfer function can be derived. Thermal Calculations 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 at light loads in the discontinuous conduction mode. Conduction Loss: Pcon = IOUT2 x RDS(on) x VOUT/VIN Switching Loss: Psw = VIN x IOUT x 0.01 Quiescent Current Loss: Pq = VIN x 0.01 Total Loss: Ptot = Pcon + Psw + Pq Given TA => Estimated Junction Temperature: TJ = TA + Rth x Ptot Given TJMAX = 125°C => Estimated Maximum Ambient Temperature: TAMAX = TJMAX– Rth x Ptot Submit Documentation Feedback 15 TPS5450 www.ti.com SLVS757 – MARCH 2007 PERFORMANCE GRAPHS The performance graphs (Figure 12 through Figure 18) are applicable to the circuit in Figure 11.
