TPS51125
SLUS786H – OCTOBER 2007 – REVISED JANUARY 2015
TPS51125 Dual-Synchronous, Step-Down Controller With Out-of-Audio™ Operation and
100-mA LDOS for Notebook System Power
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The TPS51125 is a cost-effective, dual-synchronous
buck controller targeted for notebook system power
supply solutions. The device provides 5-V and 3.3-V
LDOs and requires few external components. The
270-kHz VCLK output can be used to drive an
external charge pump, thus generating gate drive
voltage for the load switches without reducing the
efficiency of the main converter. The TPS51125
supports high-efficiency, fast-transient response and
provides a combined power-good signal. Out-ofAudio mode light-load operation enables low acoustic
noise at much higher efficiency than conventional
forced PWM operation. Adaptive on-time D-CAP™
control provides convenient and efficient operation.
The part operates with supply input voltages ranging
from 5.5 V to 28 V and supports output voltages from
2 V to 5.5 V. The TPS51125 is available in a 24-pin
QFN package and is specified from -40°C to 85°C
ambient temperature range.

7.1 Overview
The TPS51125 is a cost-effective, dual-synchronous buck controller targeted for notebook system-power supply
solutions. It provides 5 V and 3.3 V LDOs and requires few external components. With D-CAP™ control mode
implemented, compensation network can be removed. Besides, the fast transient response also reduced the
output capacitance.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 PWM Operations
The main control loop of the switch mode power supply (SMPS) is designed as an adaptive on-time pulse width
modulation (PWM) controller. It supports a proprietary D-CAP mode. D-CAP mode does not require external
compensation circuit and is suitable for low external component count configuration when used with appropriate
amount of ESR at the output capacitor(s).
At the beginning of each cycle, the synchronous top MOSFET is turned on, or becomes ON state. This MOSFET
is turned off, or becomes OFF state, after internal one-shot timer expires. This one shot is determined by VIN and
VOUT to keep frequency fairly constant over input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control. The
MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback point voltage, VFB, decreased to match with internal 2-V
reference. The inductor current information is also monitored and should be below the overcurrent threshold to
initiate this new cycle. Repeating operation in this manner, the controller regulates the output voltage. The
synchronous bottom or the “rectifying” MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each OFF state to keep the
conduction loss minimum.The rectifying MOSFET is turned off before the top MOSFET turns on at next switching
cycle or when inductor current information detects zero level. In the auto-skip mode or the OOA skip mode, this
enables seamless transition to the reduced frequency operation at light load condition so that high efficiency is
kept over broad range of load current.
7.3.2 Adaptive On-Time Control and PWM Frequency
TPS51125 does not have a dedicated oscillator onboard. However, the part runs with pseudo-constant frequency
by feed-forwarding the input and output voltage into the on-time, one-shot timer. The on-time is controlled inverse
proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the output voltage so that the duty ratio will be kept as
VOUT/VIN technically with the same cycle time. The frequencies are set by TONSEL terminal connection as
Table 1.

Figure 31. Simplifying the Modulator
The output voltage is compared with internal reference voltage after divider resistors, R1 and R2. The PWM
comparator determines the timing to turn on high-side MOSFET. The gain and speed of the comparator is high
enough to keep the voltage at the beginning of each on cycle substantially constant. For the loop stability, the
0dB frequency, f0, defined below need to be lower than 1/4 of the switching frequency.
f0 =
f
1
£ SW
2p ´ ESR ´ CO

(1)
As f0 is determined solely by the characteristics of the output capacitor, loop stability of D-CAP mode is
determined by the chemistry of the capacitor. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have Co in
the order of several 100 μF and ESR in range of 10 mΩ. These will make f0 in the order of 100 kHz or less and
the loop will be stable. However, ceramic capacitors have f0 at more than 700 kHz, which is not suitable for this
operational mode.
7.3.4 Ramp Signal
The TPS51125 adds a ramp signal to the 2-V reference in order to improve its jitter performance. As described in
the previous section, the feedback voltage is compared with the reference information to keep the output voltage
in regulation. By adding a small ramp signal to the reference, the S/N ratio at the onset of a new switching cycle
is improved. Therefore the operation becomes less jitter and stable. The ramp signal is controlled to start with
–20 mV at the beginning of ON-cycle and to become 0 mV at the end of OFF-cycle in steady state. By using this
scheme, the TPS51125 improve jitter performance without sacrificing the reference accuracy.
7.3.5 Light-Load Condition in Auto-Skip Operation
The TPS51125 automatically reduces switching frequency at light-load conditions to maintain high efficiency.
This reduction of frequency is achieved smoothly and without increase of VOUT ripple. Detail operation is
described as follows. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also
reduced and eventually comes to the point that its ‘valley’ touches zero current, which is the boundary between
continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when this zero
inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreased, the converter runs in discontinuous

conduction mode and it takes longer and longer to discharge the output capacitor to the level that requires next
ON cycle. The ON time is kept the same as that in the heavy load condition. In reverse, when the output current
increase from light load to heavy load, switching frequency increases to the preset value as the inductor current
reaches to the continuous conduction. The transition load point to the light load operation IOUT(LL) (that is, the
threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode) can be calculated as follows;
IOUT(LL) =
1
2´L´f
´
(VIN - VOUT )´ VOUT
VIN
where
•
f is the PWM switching frequency
(2)
Switching frequency versus output current in the light load condition is a function of L, VIN and VOUT, but it
decreases almost proportional to the output current from the IOUT(LL) given above. For example, it will be 60 kHz
at IOUT(LL)/5 if the frequency setting is 300 kHz.
7.3.6
Out-of-Audio Light-Load Operation
Out-of-Audio (OOA) light-load mode is a unique control feature that keeps the switching frequency above
acoustic audible frequencies toward virtually no load condition while maintaining best of the art high conversion
efficiency. When the Out-of-Audio operation is selected, OOA control circuit monitors the states of both MOSFET
and force to change into the ON state if both of MOSFETs are off for more than 32 μs. This means that the top
MOSFET is turned on even if the output voltage is higher than the target value so that the output capacitor is
tends to be overcharged.
The OOA control circuit detects the over-voltage condition and begins to modulate the on time to keep the output
voltage regulated. As a result, the output voltage becomes 0.5% higher than normal light-load operation.
7.3.7 VREG5/VREG3 Linear Regulators
There are two sets of 100-mA standby linear regulators which outputs 5 V and 3.3 V, respectively. The VREG5
serves as the main power supply for the analog circuitry of the device and provides the current for gate drivers.
The VREG3 is intended mainly for auxiliary 3.3-V supply for the notebook system during standby mode.
Add a ceramic capacitor with a value of at least 33 μF and place it close to the VREG5 pin, and add at most 10
μF to the VREG3 pin. Total capacitance connected to the VREG3 pin should not exceed 10 μF.
7.3.8 VREG5 Switch Over
When the VO1 voltage becomes higher than 4.7 V AND channel-1 internal powergood flag is generated, internal
5-V LDO regulator is shut off and the VREG5 output is connected to VO1 by internal switch over MOSFET. The
510-μs powergood delay helps a switch over without glitch.
7.3.9 VREG3 Switch Over
When the VO2 voltage becomes higher than 3.15 V AND channel-2 internal powergood flag is generated,
internal 3.3-V LDO regulator is shut off and the VREG3 output is connected to VO2 by internal switch over
MOSFET. The 510-μs powergood delay helps a switch over without glitch.
7.3.10 Powergood
The TPS51125 has one powergood output that indicates 'high' when both switcher outputs are within the targets
(AND gated). The powergood function is activated with 2-ms internal delay after ENTRIPx goes high. If the
output voltage becomes within +/-5% of the target value, internal comparators detect power good state and the
powergood signal becomes high after 510-μs internal delay. Therefore PGOOD goes high around 2.5 ms after
ENTRIPx goes high. If the output voltage goes outside of +/-10% of the target value, the powergood signal
becomes low after 2-μs internal delay. The powergood output is an open-drain output and is needed to be pulled
up outside.
Also note that, in the case of Auto-skip or Out-of-Audio™ mode, if the output voltage goes +10% above the
target value and the power-good signal flags low, then the loop attempts to correct the output by turning on the
low-side driver (forced PWM mode). After the feedback voltage returns to be within +5% of the target value and
the power-good signal goes high, the controller returns back to auto-skip mode or Out-of-Audio mode.

7.3.11 Output Discharge Control
When ENTRIPx is low, the TPS51125 discharges outputs using internal MOSFET which is connected to VOx
and GND. The current capability of these MOSFETs is limited to discharge slowly.
7.3.12 Low-Side Driver
The low-side driver is designed to drive high current low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. The drive capability is
represented by its internal resistance, which are 4 Ω for VREG5 to DRVLx and 1.5 Ω for DRVLx to GND. A dead
time to prevent shoot through is internally generated between top MOSFET off to bottom MOSFET on, and
bottom MOSFET off to top MOSFET on. 5-V bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The instantaneous
drive current is supplied by an input capacitor connected between VREG5 and GND. The average drive current
is equal to the gate charge at Vgs = 5 V times switching frequency. This gate drive current as well as the highside gate drive current times 5 V makes the driving power which need to be dissipated from TPS51125 package.
7.3.13 High-Side Driver
The high-side driver is designed to drive high current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFETs. When configured as a
floating driver, 5-V bias voltage is delivered from VREG5 supply. The average drive current is also calculated by
the gate charge at Vgs = 5 V times switching frequency. The instantaneous drive current is supplied by the flying
capacitor between VBSTx and LLx pins. The drive capability is represented by its internal resistance, which are
4 Ω for VBSTx to DRVHx and 1.5Ω for DRVHx to LLx.
7.3.14 VCLK for Charge Pump
270-kHz clock signal can be used for charge pump circuit to generate approximately 15-V dc voltage. The clock
signal becomes available when EN0 becomes higher than 2.4 V or open state. Example of control circuit is
shown in Figure 32. Note that the clock driver uses VO1 as its power supply. Regardless of enable or disable of
VCLK, power consumption of the TPS51125 is almost the same. Therefore even if VCLK is not used, one can let
EN0 pin open or supply logic ‘high’, as shown in Figure 32, and let VCLK pin open. This approach further
reduces the external part count.

7.3.15 Current Protection
TPS51125 has cycle-by-cycle over current limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF
state and the controller keeps the OFF state during the inductor current is larger than the over current trip level.
In order to provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, TPS51125 supports temperature
compensated MOSFET RDS(on) sensing. ENTRIPx pin should be connected to GND through the trip voltage
setting resistor, RTRIP. ENTRIPx terminal sources ITRIP current, which is 10 μA typically at room temperature, and
the trip level is set to the OCL trip voltage VTRIP as below. Note that the VTRIP is limited up to about 205 mV
internally.
VTRIP (mV ) =
RTRIP (kW )´ ITRIP (mA )
9
- 24 (mV )
(3)
External leakage current to ENTRIPx pin should be minimized to obtain accurate OCL trip voltage.
The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between GND pin and LLx pin so that LLx pin should be
connected to the drain terminal of the bottom MOSFET properly. Itrip has 4500 ppm/°C temperature slope to
compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(on). GND is used as the positive current sensing node so
that GND should be connected to the proper current sensing device, i.e. the source terminal of the bottom
MOSFET.
As the comparison is done during the OFF state, VTRIP sets valley level of the inductor current. Thus, the load
current at over current threshold, IOCP, can be calculated in Equation 4.

In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor thus the output
voltage tends to fall down. Eventually, it ends up with crossing the under voltage protection threshold and
shutdown both channels.
7.3.16 Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection
TPS51125 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect over and undervoltage. When the feedback
voltage becomes higher than 115% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit
latches as the top MOSFET driver OFF and the bottom MOSFET driver ON.

Also, TPS51125 monitors VOx voltage directly and if it becomes greater than 5.75 V the TPS51125 turns off the
top MOSFET driver.
When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 60% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes
high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 32 μs, TPS51125 latches OFF both top and
bottom MOSFETs drivers, and shut off both drivers of another channel. This function is enabled after 2 ms
following ENTRIPx has become high.
7.3.17 UVLO Protection
TPS51125 has VREG5 undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO). When the VREG5 voltage is lower than UVLO
threshold voltage both switch mode power supplies are shut off. This is nonlatch protection. When the VREG3
voltage is lower than (VO2 - 1 V), both switch mode power supplies are also shut off.
7.3.18 Thermal Shutdown
TPS51125 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 150°C),
TPS51125 is shut off including LDOs. This is nonlatch protection.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Enable and Soft-Start
EN0 is the control pin of VREG5, VREG3 and VREF regulators. Bring this node down to GND disables those
three regulators and minimize the shutdown supply current to 10 μA. Pulling this node up to 3.3 V or 5 V will turn
the three regulators on to standby mode. The two switch mode power supplies (channel-1, channel-2) become
ready to enable at this standby mode. The TPS51125 has an internal, 1.6 ms, voltage servo softstart for each
channel. When the ENTRIPx pin becomes higher than the enable threshold voltage, which is typically 430 mV,
an internal DAC begins ramping up the reference voltage to the PWM comparator. Smooth control of the output
voltage is maintained during start up. As TPS51125 shares one DAC with both channels, if ENTRIPx pin
becomes higher than the enable threshold voltage while another channel is starting up, soft start is postponed
until another channel soft start has completed. If both of ENTRIP1 and ENTRIP2 become higher than the enable
threshold voltage at a same time (within 60 μs), both channels start up at same time.

Please use MOSFET with integrated Schottky barrier diode (SBD) for low side, or add SBD in parallel
with normal MOSFET.
8.2.2.1 Determine Output Voltage
The output voltage is programmed by the voltage-divider resistor, R1 and R2 shown in Figure 31. R1 is
connected between VFBx pin and the output, and R2 is connected betwen the VFBx pin and GND.
Recommended R2 value is from 10 kΩ to 20 kΩ. Determine R1 using equation as below.
R1 =
(VOUT - 2.0 ) ´ R2
2.0
(5)
8.2.2.2 Choose the Inductor
The inductance value should be determined to give the ripple current of approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of maximum
output current. Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage and improves S/N ratio and helps stable
operation.

8.2.2.3 Choose the Output Capacitors
Organic semiconductor capacitors or specialty polymer capacitors are recommended. Determine ESR to meet
required ripple voltage. A quick approximation is as shown in Equation 8.

8.2.2.4 Choose the Low-Side MOSFET
It is highly recommended that the low-side MOSFET should have an integrated Schottky barrier diode, or an
external Schottky barrier diode in parallel to achieve stable operation.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS51125 is designed to operate from input supply voltage in the range of 5.5 V to 28 V, make sure power
supply voltage in this range.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Consider these points before starting layout work using the TPS51125.
• TPS51125 has only one GND pin and special care of GND trace design makes operation stable, especially
when both channels operate. Group GND terminals of output voltage divider of both channels and the VREF
capacitor as close as possible, connect them to an inner GND plane with PowerPad, overcurrent setting
resistor, EN0 pull-down resistor and EN0 bypass capacitor as shown in the thin GND line of Figure 43. This
trace is named Signal Ground (SGND). Group ground terminals of VIN capacitor(s), VOUT capacitor(s) and
source of low-side MOSFETs as close as possible, and connect them to another inner GND plane with GND
pin of the device, GND terminal of VREG3 and VREG5 capacitors and 15-V charge-pump circuit as shown in
the bold GND line of Figure 43. This trace is named Power Ground (PGND). SGND should be connected to
PGND at the middle point between ground terminal of VOUT capacitors.
• Inductor, VOUT capacitor(s), VIN capacitor(s) and MOSFETs are the power components and should be
placed on one side of the PCB (solder side). Power components of each channel should be at the same
distance from the TPS51125. Other small signal parts should be placed on another side (component side).
Inner GND planes above should shield and isolate the small signal traces from noisy power lines.
• PCB trace defined as LLx node, which connects to source of high-side MOSFET, drain of low-side MOSFET
and high-voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible.
• VREG5 requires capacitance of at least 33 μF and VREG3 requires capacitance of at most 10 μF. VREF
requires a 220-nF ceramic bypass capacitor which should be placed close to the device and traces should be
no longer than 10 mm.
• Connect the overcurrent setting resistors from ENTRIPx to SGND and close to the device, right next to the
device if possible.
• The discharge path (VOx) should have a dedicated trace to the output capacitor; separate from the output
voltage sensing trace. When LDO5 is switched over Vo1 trace should be 1.5 mm with no loops. When LDO3
is switched over and loaded Vo2 trace should also be 1.5 mm with no loops. There is no restriction for just
monitoring Vox. Make the feedback current setting resistor (the resistor between VFBx to SGND) close to the
device. Place on the component side and avoid vias between this resistor and the device.
• Connections from the drivers to the respective gate of the high-side or the low-side MOSFET should be as
short as possible to reduce stray inductance. Use 0.65-mm (25 mils) or wider trace and via(s) of at least 0.5
mm (20 mils) diameter along this trace.
• All sensitive analog traces and components such as VOx, VFBx, VREF, GND, EN0, ENTRIPx, PGOOD,
TONSEL and SKIPSEL should be placed away from high-voltage switching nodes such as LLx, DRVLx,
DRVHx and VCLK nodes to avoid coupling.
• Traces for VFB1 and VFB2 should be short and laid apart each other to avoid channel to channel
interference.
• In order to effectively remove heat from the package, prepare thermal land and solder to the package’s
thermal pad. Three by three or more vias with a 0.33-mm (13 mils) diameter connected from the thermal land
to the internal ground plane should be used to help dissipation. This thermal land underneath the package
should be connected to SGND, and should NOT be connected to PGND.

Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s noncompliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
