•
•
The TPS53511 is an adaptive on-time D-CAP2™
mode synchronous buck converter. The device
is suitable for points-of-load (POL) in computing
power systems, and provides a cost-effective, low
component count, low standby current solution. The
main control loop for the TPS53511 uses the DCAP2™ mode control to provide a fast transient
response with no external components. The adaptive
on-time control supports seamless operation between
PWM mode during heavy load conditions and reduced
frequency operation during light-load conditions for
high efficiency.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board,
as specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining RθJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining RθJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS53511 is a 1.5-A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated N-channel MOSFETs. It
operates using D-CAP2™ mode control. The fast transient response of D-CAP2™ control reduces the output
capacitance required to meet a specific level of performance. Proprietary internal circuitry allows the use of
low-ESR output capacitors including ceramic and special polymer types.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS53511 is an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller that
supports a proprietary D-CAP2™ mode control. D-CAP2™ mode control combines constant on-time control with
an internal compensation circuit for pseudo-fixed frequency and low external component count configuration with
both low-ESR and ceramic output capacitors. It is stable even with virtually no ripple at the output.
At the beginning of each cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on. This MOSFET is turned off after internal one
shot timer expires. This one shot timer is set by the converter input voltage, VVIN, and the output voltage, VVO, to
maintain a pseudo-fixed frequency over the output voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control. The
one-shot timer is reset and the high-side MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback voltage falls below the
reference voltage. An internal ramp is added to the reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the
need for ESR-induced output ripple from D-CAP2™ mode control.
7.3.2 PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS53511 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on-board oscillator. The
device runs with a pseudo-constant frequency of 700 kHz by using the input voltage and output voltage to set
the on-time one-shot timer. The on time is inversely proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the
output voltage. The actual frequency can vary from 700 kHz depending on the off time, which is ended when the
fed back portion of the output voltage falls to the VFB threshold voltage.

7.3.3 Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft-Start Function
The soft-start time function is adjustable. When the EN pin becomes high, 2-µA current begins charging the
capacitor, which is connected from the SS pin to GND. Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during
start up. The equation for the slow-start time is shown in Equation 1. The VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin
source current is 2 µA.

CSS is the value of the capacitor connected between the SS pin and GND.
CSS is expressed in nF.
This unique circuit prevents current from being pulled from the output during start-up if the output is pre-biased.
When the soft start commands a voltage higher than the pre-bias level (internal soft-start voltage becomes
greater than feedback voltage VFB), the controller slowly activates synchronous rectification by starting the first
low-side FET gate driver pulses with a narrow on time. It then increments the 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 scheme
prevents the initial sinking of the pre-bias output, and makes sure the output voltage (the VO pin) starts and
ramps up smoothly into regulation and the control loop is given time to transition from pre-biased start-up to
normal mode operation.
7.3.4 Power Good
The power-good function is activated after soft start has finished. The power-good function becomes active after
1.7 times soft-start time. When the feedback voltage is within ±10% of the target value, internal comparators
detect power good state and the power-good signal becomes high. The power-good output, PG, is an open-drain
output. When the feedback voltage goes ±15% outside of the target value, the power-good signal becomes low
after a 10-µs internal delay. During an undervoltage condition, when the feedback voltage returns to be within
±10% of the target value, the power-good signal goes HIGH again.
7.3.5 Output Discharge Control
The TPS53511 discharges the output when EN is low, or the controller is turned off by the protection function
(OVP, UVP, UVLO, and thermal shutdown). The output is discharged by an internal 50-Ω MOSFET, which is
connected from VO to PGND. The internal low-side MOSFET is not turned on during the output discharge
operation to avoid the possibility of causing negative voltage at the output.
7.3.6 Current Protection
Output current is limited by cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during
the OFF state and the controller keeps the OFF state when the inductor current is larger than the over current
trip level. To provide accuracy and a cost-effective solution, the device supports temperature compensated
internal MOSFET RDS(on) sensing.
The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between the PGND pin and the SW pin. In an overcurrent
condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor; thus, the output voltage tends to fall
off. Eventually the output voltage becomes less than the undervoltage protection threshold and the device shuts
down.
7.3.7 Overvoltage/Undervoltage Protection
The TPS53511 detects overvoltage and undervoltage conditions by monitoring the feedback voltage (the VFB
pin). This function is enabled after approximately 1.7 times the soft-start time. When the feedback voltage
becomes higher than 115% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit latches
the high-side MOSFET driver turns off and the low-side MOSFET turns on. Normal operation can be restored
only by cycling the VCC or EN pin voltage. When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target
voltage, the UVP comparator output goes high and an internal UVP delay counter begins. After 250 µs, the

device latches off both internal high-side and low-side MOSFET. Similar to the overvoltage protection, the device
is latched off, and normal operation can be restored only by cycling the VCC or EN pin voltage.
7.3.8 UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VVREG5 pin. When the VVREG5 voltage is
lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS53511 is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.9 Thermal Shutdown
Thermal protection is self-activating. If the junction temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 150°C),
the TPS53511 shuts off. This protection is non-latching.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Light Load Mode Control
The TPS53511 is designed with Auto-Skip mode to increase light-load efficiency. As the output current
decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to point that
its rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous
conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when its zero inductor current is detected. As the load
current further decreases the converter run into discontinuous conduction mode. The on-time is kept almost the
same as is was in the continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer time to discharge the output capacitor
with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. The transition point to the light load operation
IOUT(LL) current can be calculated in Equation 2.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Output Inductor Selection
The value of the output filtering inductor determines the magnitude of the current ripple, which also affects the
output voltage ripple for a certain output capacitance value. Increasing the inductance value reduces the ripple
current, and thus, results in reduced conduction loss and output ripple voltage. Alternatively, low inductance
value is needed due to the demand of low profile and fast transient response. Therefore, it is important to obtain
a compromise between the low ripple current and low inductance value.

In practical application, the peak-to-peak current ripple is usually designed to be between 1/4 to1/2 of the rated
load current. Since the magnitude of the current ripple is determined by inductance value, switching frequency,
input voltage and output voltage, the required inductance value for a certain required ripple ∆I is shown in
Equation 3. Also, the chosen inductor should be rated for the peak current calculated from Equation 4.

VIN is the input voltage.
VOUT is the output voltage.
IRIPPLE is the required current ripple.
ƒSW is the switching frequency.
For this design example, the inductance value is selected to provide approximately 30% peak-to-peak ripple
current at maximum load. For this design, a nearest standard value was chosen: 3.3 µH. For 3.3 µH, the
calculated peak current is 1.71 A.
8.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. It is recommended to use a
ceramic output capacitor. Using Equation 5 to Equation 6, an initial estimate for the capacitor value and ESR
can be calculated. As the load transients are significant, consider using the load step instead of ripple current to
calculate the maximum ESR.

For this design, the minimum required capacitance is 8.45 µF and maximum ESR is 33 mΩ. Therefore, two TDK
C3216JB0J226M 22-µF output capacitors are used. The maximum ESR is 12 mΩ for each capacitor.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The device requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor. A ceramic capacitor over 10 µF is
recommended for the decoupling capacitor. The capacitor voltage rating must to be greater than the maximum
input voltage. In case of separate VVCC and VVIN, a ceramic capacitor over 10 µF is recommended for the input
voltage. Placing a ceramic capacitor with a value higher than 0.1 µF for the VCC is recommended also.
8.2.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1-µF capacitor must be connected between the VBST and SW pin for proper operation. A ceramic capacitor
is recommended.
8.2.2.5 VREG5 Capacitor Selection
A 1-µF capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 and SW pin for proper operation. A ceramic capacitor
is recommended.

8.2.2.6 Output Voltage Setting Resistors Selection
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. It is recommended to use
1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Begin by using Equation 7 and Equation 8 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at light-load condition, use resistors with a relatively larger value. However, too high
resistance value make the circuit more susceptible to noise, and voltage errors from the VFB input current is
more noticeable.

VOUT = 0.765 ´ ç 1 + ç

For output voltages over 2.5 V:

VOUT = (0.763 + 0.0017 ´ VOUT )´ ç 1 +

The required output voltage for this design is 1.05 V. So Equation 7 is used to calculate the value of R1. R2 is
22.1 kΩ, therefore, R1 is 8.25 kΩ.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 18 V. This input supply
should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the TPS53311 converter,
additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic
capacitor with a value of 100 μF is a typical choice.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep the input switching current loop as small as possible.
Keep the SW node as physically small and short as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance and
inductance and to minimize radiated emissions. Kelvin connections should be brought from the output to
the feedback pin of the device.
Keep analog and non-switching components away from switching components.
Make a single point connection between the signal and power grounds.
Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
Keep the pattern lines for VIN and PGND broad.
Exposed pad of the device must be connected to PGND with solder.
VREG5 capacitor should be connected to a broad pattern of the PGND.
Output capacitor should be connected to a broad pattern of the PGND.
Voltage feedback loop should be as short as possible, and preferably with ground shield.
Lower resistor of the voltage divider, which is connected to the VFB pin should be tied to SGND.
Providing sufficient via is preferable for VIN, SW and PGND connection.
PCB pattern for VIN, SW, and PGND should be as broad as possible.
If VIN and VCC are shorted, VIN and VCC patterns need to be connected with broad pattern lines.
VIN capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the device.
10.1.1 Thermal Information
This PowerPAD™ package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be connected to an external
heat sink. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to the printed board (PCB). After soldering, the PCB can be
used as a heat sink. In addition, through the use of thermal vias, the thermal pad can be attached directly to the
appropriate copper plane shown in the electrical schematic for the device, or alternatively, can be attached to a
special heat sink structure designed into the PCB. This design optimizes the heat transfer from the device.
For additional information on the PowerPAD™ package and how to use the advantage of its heat dissipating
abilities, refer to the PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package Technical Brief and the PowerPAD™ Made
Easy Application Brief.
