Chapter 1 Introduction The SLVP111/112/113/114 evaluation modules (EVMs) have been designed and tested using the TPS56xx hysteretic controllers. These boards are synchronous dc-dc buck converters with fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V and 1.5 V respectively. They use only surface mount components and are design examples of how to use TI’s TPS56xx controllers in high density, low loss applications with tight static and dynamic output voltage requirements.
Synchronous Buck Regulator Operation 1.1 Synchronous Buck Regulator Operation The synchronous buck converter is a variation of the traditional buck converter. The main switching device is usually a power MOSFET and is driven in the same manner as in a traditional buck converter. The freewheeling rectifier, usually a Schottky device, is replaced by a power MOSFET and is driven in a complementary or synchronous fashion relative to the main switching device; when one MOSFET is on, the other is off.
Hysteretic Control Operation 1.2 Hysteretic Control Operation Hysteretic control, also called bang-bang control or ripple regulator control, maintains the output voltage within the hysteresis band centered about the internal reference voltage. Figure 1–2 shows a simplified example of a hysteretic controlled output voltage using the TPS5625 with a reference voltage of 2.500 V and a hysteresis band of 50 mV.
Design Strategy 1.3 Design Strategy The SLVP111–114 evaluation modules (EVMs) are optimized for 5-V main input voltage and 6-A output current. The EVMs need an additional low current 12-V (30 mA max) input voltage for the controller. TI’s application report, Providing a DSP Power Solution from 5 V or 3.3 V Only Systems, TI literature number SPRA525 describes how one can implement a simple boost circuit for 5-V only input voltage applications.
Design Specification Summary 1.4 Design Specification Summary This section summarizes the design requirements of the EVM converters. Although every attempt was made to accurately describe the performance of the EVM converters and the TPS56xx controllers, in case of conflicts, the TPS56xx data sheet takes precedence over this document. The TPS56xx family of controllers provides the necessary regulation functions.

Chapter 2 Design Procedure The SLVP111–114 are dc-dc synchronous buck converter evaluation modules (EVMs) that provide a regulated output voltage at up to 6 A with a power input voltage range of 4.5 V to 6 V. A low power 12-V, 20-mA source is also required to power the TPS56xx controller. The controller operates at a nominal frequency of 135 kHz for 5 V input and 3.3 V output. To provide the highest level of performance, the EVM converters use hysteretic, or ripple, control.
TPS56xx Functions 2.1 TPS56xx Functions The functional block diagram of the TPS56xx family of controllers is given in Figure 2–1. The controller has the following main features: ±1% reference over 0°C to125°C junction temperature range. Synchronous-buck gate drivers with adaptive deadtime control High-side MOSFET driver voltage rating of 30 V MOSFET driver peak current rating of 2 A Hysteretic comparator: 250-ns propagation delay to gate driver outputs, 2.

TPS56xx Functions 2.1.2 Inhibit The inhibit circuit is a comparator with a 2.1-V start voltage and a 100-mV hysteresis. When inhibit is low, the output drivers are low and the slowstart capacitor is discharged. When inhibit is above the start threshold, the short across the slowstart capacitor is released and normal operation begins.
TPS56xx Functions R VREFB + 3.3 V + 20 kW 165 mA This value is used to determine the values of R10 and R14 that set the hysteresis level.
TPS56xx Functions Note that Vdel is independent of the output voltage. To calculate Vdel for this example design, use the component measurements given in Section 2.2.4.2. They are repeated here for convenience: L = 1.5 µH ESR = 10 mΩ Tdel = 400 ns Now calculate Vdel: V del + 5 1.5 10 –6 400 10 –9 10 10 –3 + 13.3 mV Since Vdel does not depend on the output voltage setting, Vdel is a larger portion of the total output voltage ripple for lower output voltages.
TPS56xx Functions 2.1.5 Noise Suppression Hysteretic regulators, by nature, have a fast response time to VO transients and are thus inherently noise sensitive due to the very high bandwidth of the controller. Noise suppression circuits were added to the TPS56xx to improve the noise immunity, as shown in Figure 2–2. Internal low-pass filters with a pole frequency of 5 MHz were added to the inputs of the hysteretic comparator.
TPS56xx Functions Figure 1–3). This arrangement improves efficiency over solutions having a separate current sensing resistor. The drain of the high-side MOSFET is connected to HISENSE (pin 19). The source of the high-side MOSFET is connected to LOSENSE (pin 20). When the high-side MOSFET is on, a TPS56xx internal switch is also on and samples the source voltage of the high-side MOSFET. This sampled voltage is applied to IOUTLO (pin 21) and is held by the external 0.
TPS56xx Functions resistor-divider network is designed so that the voltage applied to OCP is 100 mV for the desired output current limit point. If the voltage on OCP exceeds 100 mV, a fault latch is set and the output drivers are turned off. The latch remains set until VCC (pin 15) goes below the undervoltage lockout value. The following equations summarize the relationships discussed above.
TPS56xx Functions An alternate current sensing scheme is to insert a current sense resistor in series with the drain of Q1. Higher accuracy may be obtained at the expense of lower efficiency. 2.1.7 Overvoltage Protection If VO exceeds Vref by 15%, a fault latch is set and the output gate drivers are turned off. The latch remains set until VCC (pin 15) goes below the undervoltage lockout value.

TPS56xx Functions Driver Sink Current – 0.5 A/div Figure 2–5. I–V Characteristic Curve for Low-Side Gate Drivers Driver Output Voltage – 1 V/div The high-side gate driver is a bootstrap configuration with an internally integrated Schottky bootstrap diode. The voltage rating of the BOOT pin to DRVGND is 30 V. The gate drivers are biased from an internal 8-V drive regulator to minimize the gate drive power losses that are dissipated inside the TPS55xx.
TPS56xx Functions LOHIB (pin 11) is an inhibit input for the low-side MOSFET driver. This input has to be logic low before the low-side MOSFET is allowed to be turned on, i.e., a logic high on LOHIB prevents the low-side MOSFET driver from turning on the low-side MOSFET. For normal synchronous operation, this pin is connected to the junction of the high and low-side MOSFETs.
External Component Selection 2.2 External Component Selection This section shows the procedure used in designing and selecting the power stage components to meet the performance parameters shown in Table 1–2 for the example circuit shown in Figure 1–3. 2.2.1 Duty Cycle Estimate An estimate of the duty cycle is used frequently in the following sections. The duty cycle, D, is the ratio of the high-side power-switch conduction time to the period of one switching cycle.
External Component Selection performance in response to fast load transients encountered when supplying power to current- and next-generation microprocessors. A secondary consideration is the switching frequency resulting from the output filter component values. This section discusses important considerations when selecting/designing the output filter elements.
External Component Selection for the particular application. In addition, the capacitor(s) must have an ample ripple current rating to handle the applied ripple current. This ripple current is dependent on the ripple current in the output inductance that is calculated in the next section. The RMS current in the output capacitance is calculated as follows for 3.3 V output: I CRMS + I L Ǹ3 + I L 6 0.289 + 7.3 A 0.289 + 2.1 A RMS Where ∆IL is the peak-to-peak ripple current in the output inductor.
External Component Selection VL + L I TRAN VL åLv t I TRAN t Where: VL= the voltage applied across the output inductor, ITRAN = the magnitude of the load step, and ∆t = the desired response time. For a load step from light load to heavy load, the voltage applied across the inductor can be assumed to be VI – VO. This also assumes that the duty cycle is 100% as the output voltage is corrected.
External Component Selection Figure 2–6.
External Component Selection Peak to peak value of the inductor current ∆I is given by the following equation: I + V I – Io ǒRDS(on) ) RLǓ–VO L D Ts (1) Where: VI =the input voltage VO = the output voltage Ts = the switching period D+ V O ) Io ǒRDS(on) ) RLǓ VI is the duty cycle which is defined as : t D + ON and t ON is the on time of the high-side MOSFET. Ts Referring to Figure 2–6 (e), the output voltage ripple, Vp-p , is higher than the hysteresis band, Hyst, because of the delays, tdel .
External Component Selection of power losses and additional voltage drops through non-ideal components. Equation (4) should be sufficiently accurate for the first frequency estimate at the beginning of a design. 2.2.5 Power MOSFET Selection The TPS56xx is designed to drive N-channel power MOSFETs in a synchronous rectifier configuration. The MOSFET chosen for this design is the Siliconix Si4410DY. This device is chosen for its low rDS(on) of 13.5 mΩ and drain-to-source breakdown voltage rating of 30 V.

Test Summary 3.1 Test Summary The detailed test results and waveforms are presented in Figures 3–2 to 3–10 for the SLVP111, Figures 3–11 to 3–19 for the SLVP112, Figures 3–20 to 3–28 for the SLVP113 and Figures 3–29 to 3–37 for the SLVP114. The following are summarized results. 3.1.1 Static Line and Load Regulation The precise reference voltage regulator implemented in the TPS56XX controller using both positive and negative remote sense pins provides excellent regulation characteristics.
Test Summary in a linear fashion. There is no discernable overshoot in the waveforms. In this application, output voltage rise time is set to approximately 9 mS with an external capacitor. Although the EVMs have been tested with a very short Vcc rise time, (see Figures 3–26 and 3–35) it is recommended to keep the rise time of Vcc longer than 3mS as shown in Figures 3–8 and 3–17. 3.1.
Test Summary 3.1.8 Conclusion The test results of the SLVP111/112/113/114 EVMs demonstrate the advantages of TPS56xx controllers to meet stringent supply requirements to power supplies, especially for powering DSPs and microprocessors. The power system designer has a good solution to optimize system for his particular application.
Test Setup 3.2 Test Setup Follow these steps for initial power up of the SLVP112: 1) Connect an electronic load from Vout to PwrGND (J1-15, -16, -17, -18 to J1-11, -12, -13, -14) adjusted to draw approximately 1 A at 2.5 V. The exact current is not critical; any nominal current is sufficient. A fixed resistor can also be used in place of the electronic load. The output current drawn by the resistor is I O 2.5 V amps where R is the value of the load resistor.
