TPS54160,TPS54160A SLVSB56C–MAY2012–REVISEDFEBRUARY2014 www.ti.com 8 Detailed Description 8.1 Overview The TPS54160A device is a 60-V, 1.5-A, step-down (buck) regulator with an integrated high-side n-channel MOSFET. To improve performance during line and load transients the device implements a constant frequency, current mode control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency compensation design. The wide switching frequency of 100kHz to 2500kHz allows for efficiency and size optimization when selecting the output filter components. The switching frequency is adjusted using a resistor to ground on the RT/CLK pin. The device has an internal phase lock loop (PLL) on the RT/CLK pin that is used to synchronize the power switchturnontoafallingedgeofanexternalsystemclock. The TPS54160A has a default start up voltage of approximately 2.5V. The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source that can be used to adjust the input voltage under voltage lockout (UVLO) threshold with two external resistors. In addition, the pull up current provides a default condition. When the EN pin is floating the device operates. The operating current is 116 μA when not switching and under no load. When the device is disabled, thesupplycurrentis1.3μA. The integrated 200mΩ high-side MOSFET allows for high efficiency power supply designs capable of delivering 1.5 A of continuous current to a load. The TPS54160A reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias voltage for the integrated high-side MOSFET is supplied by a capacitor on the BOOT to PH pin. The boot capacitor voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and turns on the high-side MOSFET off when the boot voltage falls below a preset threshold. The TPS54160A can operate at high duty cyclesbecauseofthebootUVLO.Theoutputvoltagecanbesteppeddowntoaslowasthe0.8Vreference. The TPS54160A has a power good comparator (PWRGD) which asserts when the regulated output voltage is less than 92% or greater than 109% of the nominal output voltage. The PWRGD pin is an open drain output which deasserts when the VSENSE pin voltage is between 94% and 107% of the nominal output voltage allowingthepintotransitionhighwhenapull-upresistorisused. The TPS54160A minimizes excessive output overvoltage (OV) transients by taking advantage of the OV power good comparator. When the OV comparator is activated, the high-side MOSFET is turned off and masked from turningonuntiltheoutputvoltageislowerthan107%. The SS/TR (slow start/tracking) pin is used to minimize inrush currents or provide power supply sequencing during power up. A small value capacitor should be coupled to the pin to adjust the slow start time. A resistor dividercanbecoupledtothepinforcriticalpowersupplysequencingrequirements.TheSS/TRpinisdischarged before the output powers up. This discharging ensures a repeatable restart after an over-temperature fault, UVLOfaultoradisabledcondition. The TPS54160A, also, discharges the slow start capacitor during overload conditions with an overload recovery circuit. The overload recovery circuit will slow start the output from the fault voltage to the nominal regulation voltage once a fault condition is removed. A frequency foldback circuit reduces the switching frequency during startupandovercurrentfaultconditionstohelpcontroltheinductorcurrent. 12 SubmitDocumentationFeedback Copyright©2012–2014,TexasInstrumentsIncorporated ProductFolderLinks:TPS54160 TPS54160A

The output voltage is compared through external resistors on the VSENSE pin to an internal voltage reference by an error amplifier which drives the COMP pin. An internal oscillator initiates the turn on of the high-side power switch. The error amplifier output is compared to the high-side power switch current. When the power switch current reaches the level set by the COMP voltage, the power switch is turned off. The COMP pin voltage will increase and decrease as the output current increases and decreases.

A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage. To improve drop out, the TPS54160A is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH pin voltage is greater than 2.1 V. When the voltage from BOOT to PH drops below 2.1 V, the high side MOSFET is turned off using an UVLO circuit allowing for the low side diode to conduct which allows refreshing of the BOOT capacitor. Since the supply current sourced from the BOOT capacitor is low, the high side MOSFET can remain on for more switching cycles than it refreshes, thus, the effectivedutycyclelimitationthatisattributedtothebootregulatorsystemishigh. 8.3.5 LowDropoutOperation The duty cycle during dropout of the regulator will be mainly determined by the voltage drops across the power MOSFET, inductor, low side diode and printed circuit board resistance. During operating conditions in which the input voltage drops, the high side MOSFET can remain on for 100% of the duty cycle to maintain output regulationoruntiltheBOOTtoPHvoltagefallsbelow2.1V. Once the high side is off, the low side diode will conduct and the BOOT capacitor will be recharged. During this boot capacitor recharge time, the inductor current will ramp down until the high side MOSFET turns on. The recharge time is longer than the typical high side off time of previous switching cycles, and thus, the inductor current ripple is larger resulting in more ripple voltage on the output. The recharge time is a function of the input voltage,bootcapacitorvalue,andtheimpedanceoftheinternalbootrechargediode. Attention needs to be taken in maximum duty cycle applications which experience extended time periods without a load current. When the voltage across the BOOT capacitors falls below the 2.1 V threshold in applications that have a difference in the input voltage and output voltage that is less than 3V, the high side MOSFET will be turned off but there is not enough current in the inductor to pull the PH pin down to recharge the boot capacitor.

The error amplifier compares the VSENSE voltage to the lower of the SS/TR pin voltage or the internal 0.8-V voltage reference.

It is recommended to use 1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start with a 10 kΩ for the R2 resistor and use the Equation 1 to calculate R1. To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors. If the values are too high, the regulator becomes more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VSENSE input current are noticeable. æ(VOUT -0.8V)ö R1=R2´ç ÷ ç 0.8V ÷ è ø (1) 8.3.9 EnableandAdjustingUndervoltageLockout The TPS54160A is disabled when the VIN pin voltage falls below 2.5 V. If an application requires a higher undervoltage lockout (UVLO), use the EN pin as shown in Figure 29 to adjust the input voltage UVLO by using the two external resistors. Though it is not necessary to use the UVLO adjust registers, for operation it is highly recommended to provide consistent power up behavior. The EN pin has an internal pull-up current source, I1, of 0.9μA that provides the default condition of the TPS54160A operating when the EN pin floats. Once the EN pin voltage exceeds 1.25V, an additional 2.9 μA of hysteresis, Ihys, is added. This additional current facilitates input voltage hysteresis. Use Equation 2 to set the external hysteresis for the input voltage. Use Equation 3 to set the inputstartvoltage.

A capacitor on the SS/TR pin to ground implements a slow start time. The TPS54160A has an internal pull-up current source of 2μA that charges the external slow start capacitor. The calculations for the slow start time (10% to 90%) are shown in Equation 6. The voltage reference (V ) is 0.8 V and the slow start current (I ) is 2μA.

Also, during normal operation, the TPS54160A stops switching and the SS/TR must be discharged to 40 mV when the voltage at the VIN pin is below the VIN UVLO, EN pin pulled below 1.25 V, or a thermal shutdown eventoccurs. The VSENSE voltage follows the SS/TR pin voltage with a 45 mV offset up to 85% of the internal voltage reference. When the SS/TR voltage is greater than 85% on the internal reference voltage the offset increases as the effective system reference transitions from the SS/TR voltage to the internal voltage reference (see Figure24).TheSS/TRvoltagerampslinearlyuntilclampedat1.7V.

To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use Equation 11 or the curves in Figure 41 or Figure 42.

To implement the synchronization feature connect a square wave to the RT/CLK pin through the circuit network shown in Figure 44. The square wave amplitude must transition lower than 0.5V and higher than 2.2V on the RT/CLK pin and have an on time greater than 40 ns and an off time greater than 40 ns. The synchronization frequency range is 300 kHz to 2200 kHz. The rising edge of the PH is synchronized to the falling edge of RT/CLK pin signal. The external synchronization circuit should be designed in such a way that the device has the default frequency set resistor connected from the RT/CLK pin to ground should the synchronization signal turn off. It is recommended to use a frequency set resistor connected as shown in Figure 44 through a 50Ω resistor to ground. The resistor should set the switching frequency close to the external CLK frequency. It is recommended to ac couple the synchronization signal through a 10 pF ceramic capacitor to RT/CLK pin and a 4kΩ series resistor. The series resistor reduces PH jitter in heavy load applications when synchronizing to an external clock and in applications which transition from synchronizing to RT mode. The first time the CLK is pulled above the CLK threshold the device switches from the RT resistor frequency to PLL mode. The internal 0.5V voltage source is removed and the CLK pin becomes high impedance as the PLL starts to lock onto the external signal. Since there is a PLL on the regulator the switching frequency can be higher or lower than the frequency set with the external resistor. The device transitions from the resistor mode to the PLL mode and then will increase or decrease the switching frequencyuntilthePLLlocksontotheCLKfrequencywithin100microseconds. When the device transitions from the PLL to resistor mode the switching frequency will slow down from the CLK frequency to 150 kHz, then reapply the 0.5V voltage and the resistor will then set the switching frequency. The switching frequency is divided by 8, 4, 2, and 1 as the voltage ramps from 0 to 0.8 volts on VSENSE pin. The device implements a digital frequency shift to enable synchronizing to an external clock during normal startup and fault conditions.

TPS54160,TPS54160A www.ti.com SLVSB56C–MAY2012–REVISEDFEBRUARY2014 Feature Description (continued) 8.3.18 OvervoltageTransientProtection The TPS54160A incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients on power supply designs with low value output capacitance. For example, when the power supply output is overloaded the error amplifier compares the actual output voltage to the internal reference voltage. If the VSENSE pin voltage is lower than the internal reference voltage for a considerable time, the output of the error amplifier will respond by clamping the error amplifier output to a high voltage. Thus, requesting the maximum output current. Once the condition is removed, the regulator output rises and the error amplifier output transitions to the steady state duty cycle. In some applications, the power supply output voltage can respond faster than the error amplifier output can respond, this actuality leads to the possibility of an output overshoot. The OVTP feature minimizes the output overshoot, when using a low value output capacitor, by implementing a circuit to compare the VSENSE pin voltage to OVTP threshold which is 109% of the internal voltage reference. If the VSENSE pin voltage is greater than the OVTP threshold, the high-side MOSFET is disabled preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot. When the VSENSE voltage drops lower than the OVTP threshold, the high-side MOSFET is allowed toturnonatthenextclockcycle. 8.3.19 ThermalShutdown The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 182°C. The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal trip threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 182°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence bydischargingtheSS/TRpin. 8.3.20 SmallSignalModelforLoopResponse Figure 48 shows an equivalent model for the TPS54160A control loop which can be modeled in a circuit simulation program to check frequency response and dynamic load response.

The combined effect is highlighted by the dashed line in the right half of Figure 49. As the load current decreases, the gain increases and the pole frequency lowers, keeping the 0-dB crossover frequency the same for the varying load conditions which makes it easier to design the frequency compensation. The type of output capacitor chosen determines whether the ESR zero has a profound effect on the frequency compensation design. Using high ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors may reduce the number frequency compensation components needed to stabilize the overall loop because the phase margin increases fromtheESRzeroatthelowerfrequencies(seeEquation17).

TPS54160,TPS54160A SLVSB56C–MAY2012–REVISEDFEBRUARY2014 www.ti.com The typical minimum on time, t , is 130 ns for the TPS54160A. For this example, the output voltage is 3.3 V onmin and the maximum input voltage is 18 V, which allows for a maximum switch frequency up to 1600 kHz when including the inductor resistance, on resistance and diode voltage in Equation 12. To ensure overcurrent runaway is not a concern during short circuits in your design use Equation 13 or the solid curve in Figure 43 to determine the maximum switching frequency. With a maximum input voltage of 20 V, for some margin above 18 V, assuming a diode voltage of 0.5 V, inductor resistance of 100 mΩ, switch resistance of 200mΩ, a current limit valueof2.7A,themaximumswitchingfrequencyisapproximately2500kHz. Choosing the lower of the two values and adding some margin a switching frequency of 1200 kHz is used. To determinethetimingresistanceforagivenswitchingfrequency,useEquation11orthecurveinFigure41.

K isacoefficientthatrepresentstheamountofinductorripplecurrentrelativetothemaximumoutputcurrent. IND The inductor ripple current will be filtered by the output capacitor. Therefore, choosing high inductor ripple currents will impact the selection of the output capacitor since the output capacitor must have a ripple current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple current. In general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion ofthedesigner;however,thefollowingguidelinesmaybeused. For designs using low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics, a value as high as K = 0.3 may be used. IND When using higher ESR output capacitors, K = 0.2 yields better results. Since the inductor ripple current is IND part of the PWM control system, the inductor ripple current should always be greater than 100 mA for dependable operation. In a wide input voltage regulator, it is best to choose an inductor ripple current on the larger side. This allows the inductor to still have a measurable ripple current with the input voltage at its minimum. For this design example, use K = 0.2 and the minimum inductor value is calculated to be 7.6μH. For this IND design, a nearest standard value was chosen: 10μH. For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS and peak inductor current can be found from Equation30andEquation31. For this design, the RMS inductor current is 1.506 A and the peak inductor current is 1.62 A. The chosen inductorisaMSS6132-103.Ithasasaturationcurrentratingof1.64AandanRMScurrentratingof1.9A. As the equation set demonstrates, lower ripple currents will reduce the output voltage ripple of the regulator but will require a larger value of inductance. Selecting higher ripple currents will increase the output voltage ripple of theregulatorbutallowforalowerinductancevalue. The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power up, faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the calculated peak inductor current level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current ratingequaltoorgreaterthantheswitchcurrentlimitratherthanthepeakinductorcurrent.

TPS54160,TPS54160A www.ti.com SLVSB56C–MAY2012–REVISEDFEBRUARY2014 9.2.2.3 OutputCapacitor There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor will determine the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulators responds to a large change in loadcurrent.Theoutputcapacitanceneedstobeselectedbasedonthemorestringentofthesethreecriteria. The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The output capacitor needs to supply the load with current when the regulator can not. This situation would occur if there are desired hold-up times for the regulator where the output capacitor must hold the output voltage above a certain level for a specified amount of time after the input power is removed. The regulator also will temporarily not be able to supply sufficient output current if there is a large, fast increase in the current needs of the load such as transitioning from no load to a full load. The regulator usually needs two or more clock cycles for the control loop to see the change in load current and output voltage and adjust the duty cycle to react to the change. The output capacitor must be sized to supply the extra current to the load until the control loop responds to the load change. The output capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for twoclock cycles while only allowing a tolerable amount of droop in the output voltage. Equation 32 shows the minimum output capacitance necessarytoaccomplishthis. Where ΔI is the change in output current, ƒsw is the regulators switching frequency and ΔVout is the OUT allowable change in the output voltage. For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 4% change in V for a load step from 0 A (no load) to 1.5 A (full load). For this example, ΔI = 1.5-0 = 1.5 A and OUT OUT ΔV = 0.04 × 3.3 = 0.132 V. Using these numbers gives a minimum capacitance of 18.9 μF. This value does OUT not take the ESR of the output capacitor into account in the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to ignore in this calculation. Aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors have higherESRthatshouldbetakenintoaccount. The catch diode of the regulator cannot sink current so any stored energy in the inductor produces an output voltage overshoot when the load current rapidly decreases, see Figure 53. The output capacitor must also be sized to absorb energy stored in the inductor when transitioning from a high load current to a lower load current. The excess energy that gets stored in the output capacitor increases the voltage on the capacitor. The capacitor must be sized to maintain the desired output voltage during these transient periods. Equation 33 is used to calculatetheminimumcapacitancetokeeptheoutputvoltageovershoottoadesiredvalue.WhereListhevalue of the inductor, I is the output current under heavy load, I is the output under light load, Vf is the final peak OH OL output voltage, and Vi is the initial capacitor voltage. For this example, the worst case load step will be from 1.5 A to 0 A. The output voltage increases during this load transition and the stated maximum in our specification is 4% of the output voltage. This will make Vf = 1.04 × 3.3 = 3.432. Vi is the initial capacitor voltage which is the nominaloutputvoltageof3.3V.UsingthesenumbersinEquation33yieldsaminimumcapacitanceof25.3 μF. Equation 34 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output voltage ripple specification. Where f is the switching frequency, V is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple, and I is the SW OUT(ripple) ripple inductorripplecurrent.Equation34yields0.7 μF. Equation 35 calculates the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output voltage ripple specification.Equation35indicatestheESRshouldbelessthan147mΩ. The most stringent criteria for the output capacitor is 25.3 μF of capacitance to keep the output voltage in regulationduringanunloadtransient. Additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and dc bias should be factored in which increases this minimumvalue.Forthisexample,a47μF6.3VX7Rceramiccapacitorwith5mΩ ofESRisused. Capacitors generally have limits to the amount of ripple current they can handle without failing or producing excess heat. An output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current must be specified. Some capacitor datasheetsspecifytheRootMeanSquare(RMS)valueofthemaximumripplecurrent.Equation36 canbeused to calculate the RMS ripple current the output capacitor needs to support.

The selected diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than Vinmax. The peak current rating of the diode must be greater than the maximum inductor current. The diode should also have a low forward voltage. Schottky diodes are typically a good choice for the catch diode due to their low forward voltage. The lower the forward voltage of the diode,thehighertheefficiencyoftheregulator. Typically, the higher the voltage and current ratings the diode has, the higher the forward voltage will be. Since the design example has an input voltage up to 18 V, a diode with a minimum of 20V reverse voltage will be selected. For the example design, the B220A Schottky diode is selected for its lower forward voltage and it comes in a largerpackagesizewhichhasgoodthermalcharacteristicsoversmalldevices.Thetypicalforwardvoltageofthe B220Ais0.50V. The diode must also be selected with an appropriate power rating. The diode conducts the output current during the off-time of the internal power switch. The off-time of the internal switch is a function of the maximum input voltage, the output voltage, and the switching frequency. The output current during the off-time is multiplied by the forward voltage of the diode which equals the conduction losses of the diode. At higher switch frequencies, the ac losses of the diode need to be taken into account. The ac losses of the diode are due to the charging and discharging of the junction capacitance and reverse recovery. Equation 37 is used to calculate the total power dissipation,conductionlossesplusaclosses,ofthediode. The B220A has a junction capacitance of 120pF. Using Equation 37, the selected diode will dissipate 0.632 W. This power dissipation, depending on mounting techniques, should produce a 16°C temperature rise in the diode whentheinputvoltageis18Vandtheloadcurrentis1.5A.

The capacitormustalsohavearipplecurrentratinggreaterthanthemaximuminputcurrentrippleoftheTPS54160A. TheinputripplecurrentcanbecalculatedusingEquation38. The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of dc bias applied to the capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric material that is stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for power regulator capacitors because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over temperature. The output capacitor must also be selected with the dc bias taken into account.

Common standard ceramic capacitor voltage ratings include 4 V, 6.3 V, 10 V, 16 V, 25 V, 50 V or 100 V, so a 25 V capacitor should be selected.

This is useful if a load requires a controlled voltage slew rate. This is also used if the output capacitance is large and would require large amounts of current to quickly charge the capacitor to the output voltage level. The large currents necessary to charge the capacitor may make the TPS54160A reach the current limit or excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause the input voltagerailtosag.Limitingtheoutputvoltageslewratesolvesbothoftheseproblems. The slow start time must be long enough to allow the regulator to charge the output capacitor up to the output voltage without drawing excessive current. Equation 40 can be used to find the minimum slow start time, tss, necessary to charge the output capacitor, Cout, from 10% to 90% of the output voltage, Vout, with an average slow start current of Issavg. In the example, to charge the 47μF output capacitor up to 3.3V while only allowing theaverageinputcurrenttobe0.125Awouldrequirea1msslowstarttime.

TPS54160,TPS54160A SLVSB56C–MAY2012–REVISEDFEBRUARY2014 www.ti.com Once the slow start time is known, the slow start capacitor value can be calculated using Equation 6. For the example circuit, the slow start time is not too critical since the output capacitor value is 47μF which does not require much current to charge to 3.3V. The example circuit has the slow start time set to an arbitrary value of 1mswhichrequiresa3.3nFcapacitor. C ´V ´0.8 t > OUT OUT SS I SS(avg) (40) 9.2.2.7 BootstrapCapacitorSelection A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BOOT and PH pins for proper operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric. The capacitor should have a 10V orhighervoltagerating. 9.2.2.8 UnderVoltageLockOutSetPoint The Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) can be adjusted using an external voltage divider on the EN pin of the TPS54160A. The UVLO has two thresholds, one for power up when the input voltage is rising and one for power downorbrownoutswhentheinputvoltageisfalling.Fortheexampledesign,thesupplyshouldturnonandstart switching once the input voltage increases above 7.7V (enabled). After the regulator starts switching, it should continuetodosountiltheinputvoltagefallsbelow6.7V(UVLOstop). The programmable UVLO and enable voltages are set using a resistor divider between V and ground to the EN IN pin. Equation 2 through Equation 3 can be used to calculate the resistance values necessary. For the example application, a 332kΩ between V and EN and a 61.9kΩ between EN and ground are required to produce the 7.7 IN and6.7voltstartandstopvoltages. 9.2.2.9 OutputVoltageandFeedbackResistorsSelection For the example design, 10.0 kΩ was selected for R2. Using Equation 1, R1 is calculated as 31.25 kΩ. The nearest standard 1% resistor is 31.6 kΩ. Due to current leakage of the VSENSE pin, the current flowing through the feedback network should be greater than 1 μA in order to maintain the output voltage accuracy. This requirement makes the maximum value of R2 equal to 800 kΩ. Choosing higher resistor values will decrease quiescentcurrentandimproveefficiencyatlowoutputcurrentsbutmayintroducenoiseimmunityproblems. 9.2.2.10 Compensation There are several industry techniques used to compensate DC/DC regulators. The method presented here yields high phase margins. For most conditions, the regulator will have a phase margin between 60 and 90 degrees. The method presented here ignores the effects of the slope compensation that is internal to the TPS54160A. Since the slope compensation is ignored, the actual crossover frequency is usually lower than the crossover frequencyusedinthecalculations. UseSwitcherProsoftwareforamoreaccuratedesign. The uncompensated regulator will have a dominant pole, typically located between 300 Hz and 3 kHz, due to the output capacitor and load resistance and a pole due to the error amplifier. One zero exists due to the output capacitorandtheESR.Thezerofrequencyishigherthaneitherofthetwopoles. Ifleftuncompensated,thedoublepolecreatedbytheerroramplifierandthemodulatorwouldleadtoanunstable regulator. To stabilize the regulator, one pole must be canceled out. One design approach is to locate a compensating zero at the modulator pole. Then select a crossover frequency that is higher than the modulator pole. The gain of the error amplifier can be calculated to achieve the desired crossover frequency. The capacitor used to create the compensation zero along with the output impedance of the error amplifier form a low frequency pole to provide a minus one slope through the crossover frequency. Then a compensating pole is added to cancel the zero due to the output capacitors ESR. If the ESR zero resides at a frequency higher than theswitchingfrequencythenitcanbeignored.

Next, the designer selects a crossover frequency which will determine the bandwidth of the control loop. The crossover frequency must be located at a frequency at least five times higher than the modulator pole. The crossover frequency must also be selected so that the available gain of the error amplifier at the crossover frequencyishighenoughtoallowforpropercompensation. Equation 47 is used to calculate the maximum crossover frequency when the ESR zero is located at a frequency that is higher than the desired crossover frequency. This will usually be the case for ceramic or low ESR tantalum capacitors. Aluminum Electrolytic and Tantalum capacitors will typically produce a modulator zero at a lowfrequencyduetotheirhighESR. TheexampleapplicationisusingalowESRceramiccapacitorwith10mΩ ofESRmakingthezeroat338kHz.

Next, the compensation components are calculated. A resistor in series with a capacitor is used to create a compensating zero. A capacitor in parallel to these two components forms the compensating pole. However, calculating the values of these components varies depending on if the ESR zero is located above or below the crossover frequency. For ceramic or low ESR tantalum output capacitors, the zero will usually be located above the crossover frequency.

There are several signals paths that conduct fast changing currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise ordegradethepowersuppliesperformance. • To help eliminate these problems, the VIN pin should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitorwithX5RorX7Rdielectric. • Careshouldbetakentominimizetheloopareaformedbythebypasscapacitorconnections,theVINpin,and theanodeofthecatchdiode. • TheGNDpinshouldbetieddirectlytothepowerpadunderthedeviceandthepowerpad. • The power pad should be connected to any internal PCB ground planes using multiple vias directly under the device. • ThePHpinshouldberoutedtothecathodeofthecatchdiodeandtotheoutputinductor. • Since the PH connection is the switching node, the catch diode and output inductor should be located close tothePHpins,andtheareaofthePCBconductorminimizedtopreventexcessivecapacitivecoupling. • Foroperationatfullratedload,thetopsidegroundareamustprovideadequateheatdissipatingarea. • The RT/CLK pin is sensitive to noise so the RT resistor should be located as close as possible to the device androutedwithminimallengthsoftrace. • Theadditionalexternalcomponentscanbeplacedapproximatelyasshown. • It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate PCB layouts, however this layout has beenshowntoproducegoodresultsandismeantasaguideline. 11.2 Layout Example Vout Output Capacitor Output Topside Inductor Ground Route Boot Capacitor Catch Area Trace on another layer to Diode provide wide path for topside ground Input Bypass Capacitor BOOT PH Vin VIN GND EN COMP UVLO Adjust SS/TR VSENSE Compensation Resistor Resistors Network RT/CLK PWRGD Divider Slow Start Frequency Thermal VIA Capacitor Set Resistor Signal VIA Figure66.
