APPLICATION INFORMATION
EXTERNAL PARTS SELECTION
A buck converter using the TPS51220A consists of linear circuits and a switching modulator. Figure 44 and
Figure 45 show basic scheme.
Figure 44. Simplified Current Mode Functional Blocks
Figure 45. Simplified D-CAP Mode Functional Blocks
The external components can be selected by following manner.
1. Determine output voltage dividing resistors. (R1 and R2: shown in Figure 44) using Equation 7 .
(7)
For D-CAP mode, recommended R2 value is from 10kΩ to 20kΩ.
2. Determine switching frequency. Higher frequency allows smaller output capacitances, however, degrade
efficiency due to increase of switching loss. Frequency setting resistor for RF-pin can be calculated by;
