Pulling this pin to low forces the device into ultra low power bypass mode. The output of the DC/DC converter is connected to VIN via an internal bypass switch. Pulling this pin to high enables the DC/DC converter operation. This pin must be terminated and is controlled by the system. In case of CC2540, connect this to the power down signal which is output on one of the P1.x ports (see CC2540 user guide). This is the switch pin and is connected to the internal MOSFET switches. Connect the inductor to this terminal. Feedback Pin for the internal feedback divider network and regulation loop. The internal bypass switch is connected between this pin and VIN. Connect this pin directly to the output capacitor with short trace. This is the open drain status output with active low level. An internal comparator drives this output. The pin is high impedance with ON/BYP = low. With ON/BYP set to high the device and the internal VOUT comparator becomes active. The STAT pin is set to low once the output voltage is higher than 93% of nominal VOUT and high impedance once it is below this threshold. If not used, this pin can be left open.

Mode Transition ON/BYP Behavior Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated 13 TPS62730 SLVSAC3 – MAY 2011 www.ti.com DETAILED DESCRIPTION The TPS62730 combines a synchronous buck converter for high efficient voltage conversion and an integrated ultra low power bypass switch to support low power modes of modern micro controllers and RF IC's. The synchronous buck converter includes TI's DCS-Control™, an advanced regulation topology, that combines the advantages of hysteretic and voltage mode control architectures. While a comparator stage provides excellent load transient response, an additional voltage feedback loop ensures high DC accuracy as well. The DCS-Control™ enables switch frequencies up to 3MHz, excellent transient and AC load regulation as well as operation with small and cost competitive external components. The TPS6273x devices offer fixed output voltage options featuring smallest solution size by using only three external components. Furthermore this step down converter provides excellent low output voltage ripple over the entire load range which makes this part ideal for RF applications. In the ultra low power bypass mode, the output of the device VOUT is directly connected to the input VIN via the internal bypass switch. In this mode, the buck converter is shut down and consumes only 30nA typical input current. Once the device is turned from ultra low power bypass mode into buck converter operation for a RF transmission, all the internal circuits of the regulator are activated within a start up time tStart of typ. 50µs. During this time the bypass switch is still turned on and maintains the output VOUT connected to the input VIN. Once the DC/DC converter is settled and ready to operate, the internal bypass switch is turned off and the system is supplied by the output capacitor and the other decoupling capacitors. The buck converter kicks in once the capacitors connected to VOUT are discharged to the level of the nominal buck converter output voltage. Once the output voltage falls below the threshold of the internal error comparator, a switch pulse is initiated, and the high side switch of the DC/DC converter is turned on. It remains turned on until a minimum on time of tONmin expires and the output voltage trips the threshold of the error comparator or the inductor current reaches the high side switch current limit. Once the high side switch turns off, the low side switch rectifier is turned on and the inductor current ramps down until the high side switch turns on again or the inductor current reaches zero. The converter operates in the PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode during light loads, which maintains high efficiency over a wide load current range. In PFM Mode, the device starts to skip switch pulses and generates only single pulses with an on time of tONmin. The PFM mode of TPS62730 is optimized for low output ripple voltage if small external components are used. The on time tONmin can be estimated to: V t ONmin = OUT ´ 260 ns VIN (1) Therefore, the peak inductor current in PFM mode is approximately: (V - VOUT ) ´ t ONmin ILPFMpeak = IN L (2) With tONmin: High side switch on time [ns] VIN: Input voltage [V] VOUT: Output voltage [V] L : Inductance [μH] ILPFMpeak : PFM inductor peak current [mA] ON/BYP MODE SELECTION The DC/DC converter is activated when ON/BYP is set high. For proper operation, the ON/BYP pin must be terminated and may not be left floating. This pin is controlled by the RF transceiver or micro controller for proper mode selection. Pulling the ON/BYP pin low activates the Ultra Low Power Bypass Mode with typical 30nA current consumption. In this mode, the internal bypass switch is turned on and the output of the DC/DC converter is connected to the battery VIN. All other circuits like the entire internal-control circuitry, the High Side and Low Side MOSFET's of the DC/DC output stage are turned off as well the internal resistor feedback divider is disconnected. The ON/BYP need to be controlled by a Micro controller for proper mode selection. 14 Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated TPS62730 SLVSAC3 – MAY 2011 www.ti.com START UP Once the device is supplied with a battery voltage, the bypass switch is activated. If the ON/BYP pin is set to high, the device operates in bypass mode until the DC/DC converter has settled and can kick in. During start up, high peak currents can flow over the bypass switch to charge up the output capacitor and the additional decoupling capacitors in the system. AUTOMATIC TRANSITION FROM DC/DC TO BYPASS OPERATION With pin ON/BYP set to high, the TPS62730 features an automatic transition between DC/DC and bypass mode to reduce the output ripple voltage to zero. Once the input voltage comes close to the output voltage of the DC/DC converter, the DC/DC converters operates close to 100% duty cycle operation. At this operating condition, the switch frequency would start to drop and would lead to increased output ripple voltage. The internal bypass switch is turned on once the battery voltage at VIN trips the Automatic Bypass Transition Threshold VIT BYP for falling VIN. The DC/DC regulator is turned off and therefore it generates no output ripple voltage. Due to the output is connected via the bypass switch to the input, the output voltage follows the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the internal bypass switch. In this mode the current consumption of the DC/DC converter is reduced to typically 23µA. Once the input voltage increases and trips the bypass deactivation threshold VIT BYP for rising VIN, the DC/DC regulator turns on and the bypass switch is turned off. INTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT The TPS62730 integrates a High Side and Low Side MOSFET current limit to protect the device against heavy load or short circuit when the DC/DC converter is active. The current in the switches is monitored by current limit comparators. When the current in the High Side MOSFET reaches its current limit, the High Side MOSFET is turned off and the Low Side MOSFET is turned on to ramp down the current in the inductor. The High Side MOSFET switch can only turn on again, once the current in the Low Side MOSFET switch has decreased below the threshold of its current limit comparator. The bypass switch doesn't feature a current limit to support lowest current consumption. Battery Voltage VIT BYP rising VIT BYP falling ON/BYP DC/DC Stepdown Mode Bypass Operation Figure 28.

The internal compensation is optimized to operate with an output filter of L = 2.2μH and COUT = 2.2μF, which gives and LC output filter corner frequency of: fC = 1 2 ´ p ´ (2.2 mH ´ 2.2 mF ) = 72kHz (3) INDUCTOR SELECTION The inductor value affects its peak-to-peak ripple current, the PWM-to-PFM transition point, the output voltage ripple and the efficiency. The selected inductor has to be rated for its dc resistance and saturation current. The inductor ripple current (ΔIL) decreases with higher inductance and increases with higher VI N or VO UT. Equation 4 calculates the maximum inductor current under static load conditions. The saturation current of the inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 5 Vout 1Vin D IL = Vout ´ L ´ ¦ (4) ILmax = Ioutmax + DIL 2 (5) With: f = Switching Frequency L = Inductor Value ΔIL= Peak to Peak inductor ripple current ILmax = Maximum Inductor current In high-frequency converter applications, the efficiency is essentially affected by the inductor AC resistance (i.e., quality factor) and to a smaller extent by the inductor DCR value. To achieve high efficiency operation, care should be taken in selecting inductors featuring a quality factor above 25 at the switching frequency. Increasing the inductor value produces lower RMS currents, but degrades transient response. For a given physical inductor size, increased inductance usually results in an inductor with lower saturation current. The total losses of the coil consist of both the losses in the DC resistance, R(DC), and the following frequency-dependent components: • The losses in the core material (magnetic hysteresis loss, especially at high switching frequencies) • Additional losses in the conductor from the skin effect (current displacement at high frequencies) • Magnetic field losses of the neighboring windings (proximity effect) • Radiation losses The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used with the TPS62730 converters.

Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest output voltage ripple and are recommended. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric. Y5V and Z5U dielectric capacitors, aside from their wide variation in capacitance over temperature, become resistive at high frequencies. At light load currents the converter operate in Power Save Mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on the output capacitor value and the PFM peak inductor current. Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated 19 TPS62730 SLVSAC3 – MAY 2011 www.ti.com ADDITIONAL DECOUPLING CAPACITORS In addition to the output capacitor there are further decoupling capacitors connected to the output of the TPS62730. These decoupling capacitor are placed closely at the RF transmitter or micro controller. The total capacitance of these decoupling capacitors should be kept to a minimum and should not exceed the values given in the reference designs, see Figure 31 and Figure 32. During mode transition from DC/DC operation to bypass mode the capacitors on the output VOUT are charged up to the battery voltage VIN via the internal bypass switch. During mode transition from bypass mode to DC/DC operation, these capacitors need to be discharged by the system supply current to the nominal output voltage threshold until the DC/DC will kick in. The charge change in the output and decoupling capacitors can be calculated according to Equation 6. The energy loss due to charge/discharge of the output and decoupling capacitors can be calculated according to Equation 7 dQCOUT _ CDEC = C COUT _ CDEC ´ (VIN - VOUT _ DC _ DC ) ( 2 ECh arg e _ Loss = 12 ´ C COUT _ CDEC ´ V IN - VOUT _ DC _ DC (6) 2 ) (7) with dQCOUT_CDEC : Charge change needed to charge up / discharge the output and decoupling capacitors from VOUT_DC_DC to VIN and vice versa CCOUT_CDEC: Total capacitance on the VOUT pin of the device, includes output and decoupling capacitors VIN: Input (battery) voltage VOUT_DC_DC: nominal DC/DC output voltage VOUT INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION Because of the nature of the buck converter having a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is required for best input voltage filtering to ensure proper function of the device and to minimize input voltage spikes. For most applications a 2.2µF to 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is recommended. The input capacitor can be increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering. Table 2 shows a list of tested input/output capacitors. INPUT BUFFER CAPACITOR SELECTION In addition to the small ceramic input capacitor a larger buffer capacitor CBuf is recommended to reduce voltage drops and ripple voltage. When using battery chemistries like Li-SOCl2, Li-SO2, Li-MnO2, the impedance of the battery has to be considered. These battery types tend to increase their impedance depending on discharge status and often can support output currents of only a few mA. Therefore a buffer capacitor is recommended to stabilize the battery voltage during DC/DC operations e.g. for a RF transmission. A voltage drop on the input of the TPS62730 during DC/DC operation impacts the advantage of the step down conversion for system power reduction. Furthermore the voltage drops can fall below the minimum recommended operating voltage of the device and leads to an early system cut off. Both impacts effects reduce the battery life time. To achieve best performance and to extract most energy out of the battery a good procedure is to design the select the buffer capacitor value for an voltage drop below 50mVpp during DC/DC operation. The capacitor value strongly depends on the used battery type, as well the current consumption during a RF transmission as well the duration of the transmission. Table 2.

When the switching waveform shows large duty cycle jitter or the output voltage or inductor current shows oscillations, the regulation loop may be unstable. This is often a result of board layout and/or L-C combination. As a next step in the evaluation of the regulation loop, the load transient response is tested. The time between the application of the load transient and the turn on of the High Side MOSFET, the output capacitor must supply all of the current required by the load. VOUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to ΔI(LOAD) x ESR, where ESR is the effective series resistance of COUT. ΔI(LOAD) begins to charge or discharge CO generating a feedback error signal used by the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value. The results are most easily interpreted when the device operates in PWM mode. During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for settling time, overshoot or ringing that helps judge the converter’s stability. Without any ringing, the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin. Because the damping factor of the circuitry is directly related to several resistive parameters (e.g., MOSFET rDS(on)) that are temperature dependant, the loop stability analysis has to be done over the input voltage range, load current range, and temperature range. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. Especially RF designs demand careful attention to the PCB layout. Care must be taken in board layout to get the specified performance. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show poor line and/or load regulation, stability issues as well as EMI problems and interference with RF circuits. It is critical to provide a low inductance, impedance ground path. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current paths. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC pins as well as the inductor and output capacitor. Use a common Power GND node and a different node for the Signal GND to minimize the effects of ground noise. Keep the common path to the GND PIN, which returns the small signal components and the high current of the output capacitors as short as possible to avoid ground noise. The VOUT line should be connected to the output capacitor and routed away from noisy components and traces (e.g. SW line). L1 V IN Total area is less than 12mm² C1 C2 GND V OUT Figure 33.
