1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
The TPS40345 is a synchronous buck controller that
operates from 3-V to 20-V input and which can be
used in cost-optimized applications. The controller
implements a voltage-mode control architecture with
input-voltage
feed-forward
compensation
that
responds instantly to a change in input voltage. The
switching frequency is fixed at 600 kHz.

Ground Connection to Thermal Pad
The frequency spread spectrum (FSS) feature adds
to the switching frequency, significantly reducing the
peak EMI noise and making it much easier to comply
with EMI standards.
The TPS40345 offers design with a variety of userprogrammable
functions,
including
soft-start,
overcurrent protection (OCP) levels, and loop
compensation.
OCP level may be programmed by a single external
resistor connected from the LDRV pin to circuit
ground. During initial power on, the TPS40345 enters
a calibration cycle, measures the voltage at the LDRV
pin, and sets an internal OCP voltage level. During
operation, the programmed OCP voltage level is
compared to the voltage drop across the low-side
FET when it is on to determine whether there is an
overcurrent condition. The TPS40345 then enters a
shutdown and restart cycle until the fault is removed.

DESCRIPTION
NAME
NO.
BOOT
6
I
Gate drive voltage for the high-side N-channel MOSFET. A 0.1-µF capacitor (typical) must be connected
between this pin and SW. For low input voltage operation, an external Schottky diode from BP to BOOT is
recommended to maximize the gate drive voltage for the high-side.
BP
10
O
Output bypass for the internal regulator. Connect a low ESR bypass ceramic capacitor of 1 µF or greater from
this pin to GND.
COMP
4
O
Output of the error amplifier and connection node for loop feedback components.
EN/SS
2
I
Logic level input which starts or stops the controller via an external user command. Letting this pin float turns
the controller on. Pulling this pin low disables the controller. This is also the soft-start programming pin. A
capacitor connected from this pin to GND programs the soft-start time. The capacitor is charged with an
internal current source of 10 µA. The resulting voltage ramp of this pin is also used as a second non-inverting
input to the error amplifier after a 0.8 V (typical) level shift downwards. Output regulation is controlled by the
internal level shifted voltage ramp until that voltage reaches the internal reference voltage of 600 mV – the
voltage ramp of this pin reaches 1.4 V (typical). Optionally, a 267-kΩ resistor from this pin to BP enables the
FSS feature.
FB
5
I
Inverting input to the error amplifier. In normal operation, the voltage on this pin is equal to the internal
reference voltage.
PGOOD
3
O
Open-drain power good output.
HDRV
7
O
Bootstrapped gate drive output for the high-side N-channel MOSFET.
LDRV/OC
9
O
Gate drive output for the low-side synchronous rectifier N-channel MOSFET. A resistor from this pin to GND
is also used to determine the voltage level for OCP. An internal current source of 10 µA flows through the
resistor during initial calibration and that sets up the voltage trip point used for OCP.
VDD
1
I
Power input to the controller. Bypass VDD to GND with a low ESR ceramic capacitor of at least 1 µF close to
the device.
SW
8
O
Sense line for the adaptive anti-cross conduction circuitry. Serves as common connection for the flying highside FET driver.
Thermal
Pad
—
Ground connection to the controller. This is also the thermal pad used to conduct heat from the device. This
connection serves a twofold purpose. The first is to provide an electrical ground connection for the device.
The second is to provide a low thermal impedance path from the device die to the PCB. This pad should be
tied externally to a ground plane.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS40345 is a cost-optimized synchronous buck controller providing high-end features to construct highperformance DC–DC converters. Prebias capability eliminates concerns about damaging sensitive loads during
start-up. Programmable overcurrent protection levels and hiccup overcurrent fault recovery maximize design
flexibility and minimize power dissipation in the event of a prolonged output short. The frequency spread
spectrum (FSS) feature reduces peak EMI noise by spreading the initial energy of each harmonic along a
frequency band, thus giving a wider spectrum with lower amplitudes.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Voltage Reference
The 600-mV bandgap cell is internally connected to the noninverting input of the error amplifier. The reference
voltage is trimmed with the error amplifier in a unity gain configuration to remove amplifier offset from the final
regulation voltage. The 1.3% tolerance on the reference voltage allows the user to design a very accurate power
supply.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Enable Functionality, Start-Up Sequence and Timing
After input power is applied, an internal current source of 40 µA starts to charge up the soft-start capacitor
connected from EN/SS to GND. When the voltage across that capacitor increases to 0.7 V, it enables the internal
BP regulator followed by a calibration. The total calibration time is about 1.9 ms. See Figure 11. During the
calibration, the device performs in the following way. It disables the LDRV drive and injects an internal 10-µA
current source to the resistor connected from LDRV to GND. The voltage developed across that resistor is then
sampled and latched internally as the OCP trip level until one cycles the input or toggles the EN/SS.

Figure 11. Start-Up Sequence and Timing
The voltage at EN/SS is internally clamped to 1.3 V before and/or during calibration to minimize the discharging
time once calibration. The discharging current is from an internal current source of 140 µA and it pulls the voltage
down to 0.4 V. The discharging current then initiates the soft-start by charging up the capacitor using an internal
current source of 10 µA. The resulting voltage ramp on this pin is used as a second noninverting input to the
error amplifier after an 800 mV (typical) downward level-shift; therefore, actual soft-start does not occur until the
voltage at this pin reaches 800 mV.
If EN/SS is left floating, the controller starts automatically. EN/SS must be pulled down to less than 270 mV to
ensure that the chip is in shutdown mode.
7.3.3 Soft-Start Time
The soft-start time of the TPS40345 is user programmable by selecting a single capacitor. The EN/SS pin
sources 10 µA to charge this capacitor. The actual output ramp-up time is the amount of time that it takes for the
10 µA to charge the capacitor through a 600-mV range. There is some initial lag due to calibration and an offset
(800 mV) from the actual EN/SS pin voltage to the voltage applied to the error amplifier.
The soft-start is done in a closed-loop fashion, meaning that the error amplifier controls the output voltage at all
times during the soft-start period and the feedback loop is never open as occurs in duty cycle limit soft-start
schemes. The error amplifier has two non-inverting inputs, one connected to the 600-mV reference voltage, and
the other connected to the offset EN/SS pin voltage. The lower of these two voltages is what the error amplifier
controls the FB pin. As the voltage on the EN/SS pin ramps up past approximately 1.4 V (800-mV offset voltage
plus the 600 mV reference voltage), the 600-mV reference voltage becomes the dominant input and the
converter has reached its final regulation voltage.
The capacitor required for a given soft-start ramp time for the output voltage is given by Equation 1.

7.3.4 Oscillator and Frequency Spread Spectrum (FSS)
The oscillator frequency is internally fixed. The TPS40345 operating frequency is 600 kHz.
Connecting a resistor with a value of 267 kΩ ±10% from BP to EN/SS enables the FSS feature. When the FSS is
enabled, it spreads the internal oscillator frequency over a minimum 12% window using a 25-kHz modulation
frequency with triangular profile. By modulating the switching frequency, side-bands are created. The emission
power of the fundamental switching frequency and its harmonics is distributed into smaller pieces scattered
around many sideband frequencies. The effect significantly reduces the peak EMI noise and makes it much
easier for the resultant emission spectrum to pass EMI regulations.
7.3.5 Overcurrent Protection
Programmable OCP level at LDRV is from 6 mV to 150 mV at room temperature with 3000 ppm temperature
coefficient to help compensate for changes in the low-side FET channel resistance as temperature increases.
With a scale factor of 2, the actual trip point across the low-side FET is in the range of 12 mV to 300 mV. The
accuracy of the internal current source is ±5%. Overall offset voltage, including the offset voltage of the internal
comparator and the amplifier for scale factor of 2, is limited to ±8 mV.
Maximum clamp voltage at LDRV is 340 mV to avoid turning on the low-side FET during calibration and in a
prebiased condition. The maximum clamp voltage is fixed and it does not change with temperature. If the voltage
drop across ROCSET reaches the 340-mV maximum clamp voltage during calibration (no ROCSET resistor
included), it disables OC protection. Once disabled, there is no low-side or high-side current sensing.
OCP level at HDRV is fixed at 450 mV with 3000-ppm temperature coefficient to help compensate for changes in
the high-side FET channel resistance as temperature increases. OCP at HDRV provides pulse-by-pulse current
limiting.
OCP sensing at LDRV is a true inductor valley current detection, using sample and hold. Equation 2 can be used
to calculate ROCSET:

Feature Description (continued)
Overcurrent is sensed across both the low-side FET and the high-side FET. If the voltage drop across either FET
exceeds the OC threshold, a count increments one count. If no OC is detected on either FET, the fault counter
decrements by one count. If three OC pulses are summed, a fault condition is declared which cycles the softstart function in a hiccup mode. Hiccup mode consists of four dummy soft-start timeouts followed by a real one if
overcurrent condition is encountered during normal operation, or five dummy soft-start timeouts followed by a
real one if overcurrent condition occurs from the beginning during start. This cycle continues indefinitely until the
fault condition is removed.
7.3.6 Drivers
The drivers for the external high-side and low-side MOSFETs can drive a gate-to-source voltage of VBP. The
LDRV driver for the low-side MOSFET switches between BP and GND, while the HDRV driver for the high-side
MOSFET is referenced to SW and switches between BOOT and SW. The drivers have nonoverlapping timing
that is governed by an adaptive delay circuit to minimize body diode conduction in the synchronous rectifier.
7.3.7 Prebias Start-Up
The TPS40345 contains a circuit to prevent current from being pulled from the output during start-up in the
condition the output is prebiased. There are no PWM pulses until the internal soft-start voltage rises above the
error amplifier input (FB pin), if the output is prebiased. Once the soft-start voltage exceeds the error amplifier
input, the controller slowly initiates synchronous rectification by starting the synchronous rectifier with a narrow
on time. The controller then increments that on time on a cycle-by-cycle basis until it coincides with the time
dictated by (1-D), where D is the duty cycle of the converter. This approach prevents the sinking of current from
a prebiased output, and ensures the output voltage start-up and ramp to regulation is smooth and controlled.
7.3.8 Power Good
The TPS40345 provides an indication that output is good for the converter. This is an open-drain signal and pulls
low when any condition exists that would indicate that the output of the supply might be out of regulation. These
conditions include the following:
• VFB is more than ±12.5% from nominal.
• Soft-start is active.
• A short-circuit condition has been detected.
NOTE
When there is no power to the device, PGOOD is not able to pull close to GND if an
auxiliary supply is used for the power good indication. In this case, a built-in resistor
connected from drain to gate on the PGOOD pulldown device makes the PGOOD pin look
approximately like a diode to GND.
7.3.9 Thermal Shutdown
If the junction temperature of the device reaches the thermal shutdown limit of 145°C, the PWM and the oscillator
are turned off and HDRV and LDRV are driven low. When the junction cools to the required level (125°C typical),
the PWM initiates soft-start as during a normal power-up cycle.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Modes of Operation
7.4.1.1 UVLO
In UVLO, VDD is less than UVLO_ON, the BP6 regulator is off, and the HDRV and LDRV are held low by
internal passive discharge resistors.
7.4.1.2 Disable
Disable is forced by holding SS/EN below 0.4 V. In disable, the BP6 regulator is off, and both HDRV and LDRV
are held low by passive discharge resistors.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.1.3 Calibration
Each enable of the TPS40345 device requires a calibration which lasts approximately 2 ms. During calibration
the TPS40345 device LDRV and HDRV are held off by its pulldown drivers while the device configures as
detailed in Enable Functionality, Start-Up Sequence and Timing.
7.4.1.4 Converting
When calibration completes, the TPS40345 ramps its reference voltage as described in Soft-Start Time, and the
states of the LDRV and HDRV drivers are dictated by the COMP pin to regulate the FB pin equal to the internal
reference.
8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS40345 a cost-optimized synchronous buck controllers providing high-end features to construct highperformance DC-DC converters. Prebias capability eliminates concerns about damaging sensitive loads during
start-up. Programmable overcurrent protection levels and hiccup overcurrent fault recovery maximize design
flexibility and minimize power dissipation in the event of a prolonged output short. frequency spread spectrum
(FSS) feature reduces peak EMI noise by spreading the initial energy of each harmonic along a frequency band,
thus giving a wider spectrum with lower amplitudes.
8.2 Typical Applications
For this 20-A, 12-V to 1.2-V design, the 600-kHz TPS40345 was selected for a balance between small size and
high efficiency.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Selecting the Switching Frequency
To achieve the small size for this design the TPS40345, with fSW = 600 kHz, is selected for minimal external
component size.
8.2.2.2 Inductor Selection (L1)

(IRIPPLE).

saturation current rating for the inductor. The start-up charging current is approximated by Equation 9.

The input voltage ripple is divided between capacitance and ESR. For this design VRIPPLE(cap) = 150 mV and

(13)
Three 1210, 10-µF, 25-V, X5R ceramic capacitors are selected. Higher voltage capacitors are selected to
minimize capacitance loss at the DC bias voltage to ensure the capacitors allow sufficient capacitance at the
working voltage.
8.2.2.6 MOSFET Switch Selection (Q1 and Q2)
Reviewing available TI NexFET MOSFETs using the TI NexFET MOSFET selection tool, the CSD16410Q5A and
CSD16321Q5 5-mm × 6-mm MOSFETs are selected.
These two FETs have maximum total gate charges of 5 nC and 10 nC, respectively.
8.2.2.7 Bootstrap Capacitor (C6)
To ensure proper charging of the high-side FET gate, limit the ripple voltage on the boost capacitor to less than
50 mV.

Per this TPS40345 data sheet, select a 1-uF X5R or better ceramic bypass capacitor for VDD.
8.2.2.9 BP Bypass Capacitor (C5)
Per the TPS40345 data sheet, a minimum 1-uF ceramic capacitance is required to stabilize the BP regulator. To
limit regulator noise to less than 10 mV, the value of the bypass capacitor is calculated in Equation 15.
CBP = 100 ´ MAX(QG1,QG2 )
(15)
Because Q2 is larger than Q1, and the total gate charge of Q2 is 10 nC, a BP capacitor of 1 µF is calculated. A
standard value of 1 µF is selected to limit noise on the BP regulator.
8.2.2.10 Short-Circuit Protection (R11)
The TPS40345 uses the negative drop across the low-side FET at the end of the OFF-time to measure the
inductor current. Allowing for 30% over maximum load and 20% rise in RDS(on)Q1 for self-heating, the voltage drop
across the low-side FET at current limit is given by Equation 16.
VOC = (1.3 ´ ILOAD - 21 Iripple ) ´ 1.2 ´ RDSONG2 = (1.3 ´ 20 A- 21 6 A) ´ 1.2 ´ 4.6 mW = 127 mV
(16)
The TPS40345 internal temperature coefficient helps compensate for the MOSFET’s RDS(on) temperature
coefficient, so the current limit programming resistor is selected by Equation 17.

The TPS40345 controller uses a full operational amplifier with an internally fixed 0.6-V reference. R4 is selected
between 10 kΩ and 50 kΩ for a balance of feedback current and noise immunity. With R4 set to 10 kΩ, The

For MOSFET or power block layout, follow the layout recommendations provided for the MOSFET or power
block selected.
Connect VDD to VIN as close as possible to the drain connection of the high-side FET to avoid introducing
additional drop, which could trigger short-circuit protection.
Place VDD and BP to GND capacitors within 2 mm of the device and connected to the thermal pad (GND).
Connect the FB to GND resistor to the thermal tab (GND) with a minimum 10-mil wide trace.
Place VOUT to FB resistor within 2 mm of the FB pin.
Connect the EN/SS-to-GND capacitor to the thermal tab (GND) with a minimum 10-mil-wide trace. It may
share this trace with FB to GND.
If a BJT or MOSFET is used to disable EN/SS, place it within 5 mm of the device.
If a COMP to GND resistor is used, place it within 5 mm of the device.
All COMP and FB traces should be kept minimum line width and as short as possible to minimize noise
coupling.
EN/SS should not be routed more than 20 mm from the device.
If multiple layers are used, extend GND under all components connected to FB, COMP and EN/SS to reduce
noise sensitivity.
HDRV and LDRV must provide short, low inductance paths of 5 mm or less to the gates of the MOSFETs or
power block.
Place no more than 1 Ω of resistance between HDRV or LDRV and their MOSFET or power block gate pins.
LDRV / OC to GND current limit programming resistor may be placed on the far side of the MOSFET if
necessary to ensure a short connection from LDRV to the gate of the low-side MOSFET.
Place the BOOT to SW resistor and capacitor within 4 mm of the device using a minimum of 10-mil-wide
trace. The full width of the component pads are preferred for trace widths if design rules allow.
If via must be used between the HDRV, SW and LDRV pins and their respective MOSFET or power block
connections, use a minimum of two vias to reduce parasitic inductance
Refer to the land pattern data for the preferred layout of thermal vias within the thermal pad.
TI recommends extending the top-layer copper area of the thermal pad (GND) beyond the package a
minimum 3 mm between pins 1 and 10 and 5 and 6 to improve thermal resistance to ambient of the device.
