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 disables the regulator and activate the shutdown mode. The quiescent current of the TPS5420 in shutdown mode is typically 18 A. 6 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 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. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The TPS5420 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 F 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) 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. Internal Compensation The TPS5420 implements internal compensation to simplify the regulator design. Since the TPS5420 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 = Ramppk-pk (1) The typical feed forward gain of TPS5420 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 scheme is called cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 7 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 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 TPS5420 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 TPS5420 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 14C 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 TPS5420 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 F ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric. There should be a ground area on the top layer directly underneath the IC to connect the GND pin of the device and the anode of the catch diode. The GND pin should be tied to the PCB ground by connecting it to the ground area under the device as shown in Figure 9. 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 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 pinout, the trace may need to be routed under the output capacitor. The routing may be done on an alternate layer if a trace under the output capacitor is not desired. If the grounding scheme shown is used via a connection to a different layer to route to the ENA pin. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 PH BOOT CAPACITOR OUTPUT INDUCTOR RESISTOR DIVIDER VOUT BOOT PH NC VIN NC GND VSENSE ENA OUTPUT FILTER CAPACITOR Route feedback trace under the output filter capacitor or on the other layer.

Alternately, the SWIFTTM Designer Software may be used to generate a complete design. The SWIFTTM 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 determined. The designer must 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 36 V Output voltage 5V Input ripple voltage 300 mV Output ripple voltage 30 mV Output current rating 2A Operating frequency 500 kHz As an additional constraint, the design is set up to be small size and low component height. Switching Frequency The switching frequency for the TPS5420 is internally set to 500 kHz. It is not possible to adjust the switching frequency. Input Capacitors The TPS5420 requires an input decoupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor. The recommended value for the decoupling capacitor is 10 F. A high quality ceramic type X5R or X7R is required. For some applications, a smaller value decoupling capacitor may be used, if the input voltage and current ripple ratings are not exceeded. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage, including ripple. For this design, two 4.7 F capacitors, C1 and C4 are used to allow for smaller 1812 case size to be used while maintaining a 50 V rating. This input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 2 : IOUT(MAX) x 0.25 + IOUT(MAX) x ESRMAX DVIN = CBULK x SW ( ) (2) Where IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current, fSW is the switching frequency, CI is the input capacitor value and ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance of the input capacitor. The maximum RMS ripple current also needs to be checked. For worst case conditions, this is approximated by Equation 3: I OUT(MAX) I + CIN 2 (3) In this example, the calculated input ripple voltage is 118 mV, and the RMS ripple current is 1.0 A. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors would be VIN max plus delta VIN/2. The chosen input decoupling capacitors are rated for 50 V, and the ripple current capacity for each is 3 A at 500 kHz, providing ample margin. The actual measured input ripple voltage may be larger than the calculated value due to the output impedance of the input voltage source and parasitics associated with the layout. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 11 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 CAUTION: The maximum ratings for voltage and current are not to be exceeded under any circumstance. Additionally, some bulk capacitance may be needed, especially if the TPS5420 circuit is not located within approximately 2 inches from the input voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical but it 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 TPS5420 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: LMIN = ( VOUT x VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) VIN(max) x KIND x IOUT x FSW x 0.8 (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 TPS5420, KIND of 0.2 to 0.3 yields good results. Low output ripple voltages is obtained when paired with the proper output capacitor, the peak switch current is below the current limit set point, and low load currents can be sourced before discontinuous operation. For this design example, use KIND = 0.2, and the minimum inductor value is 27 H. The standard value used in this design is 33 H. 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) + 1 I2 ) OUT(MAX) 12 V V OUT VIN(MAX) * VOUT L IN(MAX) OUT F SW 0.8 2 (5) and the peak inductor current can be determined using Equation 6: ( ) VOUT x VIN(MAX) - VOUT IL(PK) = IOUT(MAX) + 1.6 x VIN(MAX) x LOUT x FSW (6) For this design, the RMS inductor current is 2.002 A, and the peak inductor current is 2.16 A. The chosen inductor is a Coilcraft MSS1260-333 type. The nominal inductance is 33 H. It has a saturation current rating of 2.2 A and a RMS current rating of 2.7 A, which meets the requirements. Inductor values for use with the TPS5420 are in the range of 10 H to 100 H. 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 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 design of the internal compensation, it is recommended 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, the intended closed loop crossover frequency is between 2590 Hz and 24 kHz, and below the ESR zero of the output capacitor. Under these conditions, the closed loop crossover frequency is related to the LC corner frequency as: 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 18 kHz and a 33-H inductor, the calculated value for the output capacitor is 100 F. The capacitor type should be chosen so that the ESR zero is above the loop crossover. The maximum ESR is: 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 x 0.8 (10) Where: VPP is the desired peak-to-peak output ripple. NC is the number of parallel output capacitors. FSW is the switching frequency. The minimum ESR of the output capacitor should also be considered. For a good phase margin, if the ESR is zero when the ESR is at its minimum, it should not be 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 = O12 x [ ( VOUT x VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) VIN(MAX) x LOUT - FSW x 0.8 x NC ] (11) Where: NC is the number of output capacitors in parallel. FSW is the switching frequency. For this design example, a single 100-F output capacitor is chosen for C3. The calculated RMS ripple current is 143 mA and the maximum ESR required is 88 m. A capacitor that meets these requirements is a AVX TPSD107M010R0080, rated at 10 V with a maximum ESR of 80 m and a ripple current rating of 1.369 A. This capacitor results in a peak-to-peak output ripple of 26 mV using equation 10. An additional small 0.1-F ceramic bypass capacitor may also used, but is not included in this design. Other capacitor types can be used with the TPS5420, depending on the needs of the application.

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 TPS5420 design, start with an R1 value of 10 k. R2 is then 3.24 k. Boot Capacitor The boot capacitor should be 0.01 F. Catch Diode The TPS5420 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; therefore, the diode parameters improve the overall efficiency. Additionally, check that the device chosen is capable of dissipating the power losses. For this design, a Diodes, Inc.

Ceramic Output Filter Capacitors Circuit Output Filter Component Selection Using Equation 11, the minimum inductor value is 17.9 H. A value of 18 H is chosen for this design. When using ceramic output filer capacitors, the recommended LC resonant frequency should be no more than 7 kHz. Since the output inductor is already selected at 18 H, this limits the minimum output capacitor value to: 1 CO (MIN) 2 (2p x 7000) x LO (13) The minimum capacitor value is calculated to be 29 F. For this circuit a larger value of capacitor yields better transient response. Two 47 F output capacitors are used for C3 and C4. It is important to note that the actual capacitance of ceramic capacitors decreases with applied voltage. In this example, the output voltage is set to 3.3 V, minimizing this effect. External Compensation Network When using ceramic output capacitors, additional circuitry is required to stabilize the closed loop system. For this circuit, the external components are R3, C5, C6, and C7. To determine the value of these components, first calculate the LC resonant frequency of the output filter: 1 FLC = 2p O LO x CO (EFF) (14) For this example the effective resonant frequency is calculated as 4109 Hz The network composed of R1, R2, R3, C5, C6, and C7 has two poles and two zeros that are used to tailor the overall response of the feedback network to accommodate the use of the ceramic output capacitors. The pole and zero locations are given by the following equations: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 15 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 Fp1 = 500000 x VO FLC (15) Fz1 = 0.7 x FLC (16) Fz2 = 2.5 x FLC (17) The final pole is located at a frequency too high to be of concern. The second zero, Fz2 as defined by Equation 17 uses 2.5 for the frequency multiplier. In some cases this may need to be slightly higher or lower. Values in the range of 2.3 to 2.7 work well. The values for R1 and R2 are fixed by the 3.3-V output voltage as calculated usingEquation 12. For this design R1 = 10 k and R2 = 5.90 k. With Fp1 = 426 Hz, Fz1 = 2708 Hz and Fz2 = 8898 Hz, the values of R3, C6 and C7 are determined using Equation 18, Equation 19, and Equation 20: 1 C7 = 2p x Fp1 x (R1 || R2) (18) 1 2p x Fz1 x C7 1 C6 = 2p x Fz2 x R1 R3 = (19) (20) For this design, using the closest standard values, C7 is 0.1 F, R3 is 590 , and C6 is 1800 pF. C5 is added to improve load regulation performance. It is effectively in parallel with C6 in the location of the second pole frequency, so it should be small in relationship to C6. C5 should be less the 1/10 the value of C6. For this example, 150 pF works well. For additional information on external compensation of the TPS5420 or other wide voltage range SWIFT devices, see SLVA237 Using TPS5410/20/30/31 With Aluminum/Ceramic Output Capacitors ADVANCED INFORMATION Output Voltage Limitations Due to the internal design of the TPS5420, 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 VINMIN * I OMAX 0.230 ) VD * I OMAX RL * VD (21) Where: VINMIN = minimum input voltage IOMAX = maximum load current VD = catch diode forward voltage. RL= output inductor series resistance. This equation assumes maximum on resistance for the internal high side FET. The lower limit is constrained by the minimum controllable on time which may be as high as 200 ns. The approximate minimum output voltage for a given input voltage and minimum load current is given by: V OUTMIN + 0.12 VINMAX * I OMIN 0.110 ) VD * I OMIN RL * VD (22) Where: VINMAX = maximum input voltage IOMIN = minimum load current VD = catch diode forward voltage. RL= output inductor series resistance. This equation assumes nominal on resistance for the high side FET and accounts for worst case variation of operating frequency set point. Any design operating near the operational limits of the device should be checked to assure proper functionality. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2006-2007, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS5420 TPS5420 www.ti.com SLVS642C - APRIL 2006 - REVISED OCTOBER 2007 Internal Compensation Network The design equations given in the example circuit can be used to generate circuits using the TPS5420. These designs are based on certain assumptions, and 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 TPS5420. Equation 23 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 (23) 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.
