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 following design procedure can be used to select component values for the TPS54010. This section
presents a simplified discussion of the design process.
8.2 Typical Application
Figure 11 shows the schematic for a typical
TPS54010 application. The TPS54010 can provide
up to 14-A output current at a nominal output voltage
of 1.5 V. Nominal input voltages are 2.5 V for PVIN
and 3.3 V for VIN. For proper thermal performance,
the exposed PowerPAD underneath the device must
be soldered down to the printed-circuit board.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Switching Frequency
The switching frequency can be set to either one of two internally programmed frequencies or set to a externally
programmed frequency. With the RT pin open, setting the SYNC pin at or above 2.5 V selects 550-kHz
operation, whereas grounding or leaving the SYNC pin open selects 350-kHz operation. For this design, the
switching frequency is externally programmed using the RT pin. By connecting a resistor (R4) from RT to AGND,
any frequency in the range of 250 to 700 kHz can be set. Use Equation 5 to determine the proper value of RT.
R4(kW) + 500 kHz 100 kW
ƒs(kHz)
(5)
In this example circuit, R4 is calculated to be 71.5 kΩ and the switching frequency is set at 700 kHz.

8.2.2.2 Input Capacitors
The TPS54010 requires an input de-coupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor.
The minimum value for the de-coupling capacitor, C9, is 10 µF. A high-quality ceramic type X5R or X7R is
recommended. The voltage rating should be greater than the maximum input voltage. Additionally, some bulk
capacitance may be needed, especially if the TPS54010 circuit is not located within about 2 inches from the input
voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical but it also should be rated to handle the maximum input
voltage including ripple voltage, and should filter the output so that input ripple voltage is acceptable.
This input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 6:

Where IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current.
The TPS54010 requires an input de-coupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor.
ƒsw is the switching frequency, C(BULK) is the bulk capacitor value and ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance
of the bulk capacitor.
The maximum RMS ripple current also must be checked. For worst-case conditions, this can be approximated by
Equation 7:
I
OUT(MAX)
I
+
CIN

(7)
In this case, the input ripple voltage would be 155 mV and the RMS ripple current would be 7 A. The maximum
voltage across the input capacitors would be Vin max plus delta Vin/2. The chosen bulk capacitor, a Sanyo
POSCAP 6TPD330M is rated for 6.3 V and 4.4 A of ripple current; two bypass capacitors, TDK
C3225X5R1C106M are each rated for 16 V, and the ripple current capacity is greater than 3 A at the operating
frequency of 700 kHz. Total ripple current handling is in excess of 10.4 A. It is important that the maximum
ratings for voltage and current are not exceeded under any circumstance.
8.2.2.3 Output Filter Components
Two components need to be selected for the output filter, L1 and C2. Because the TPS54010 is an externally
compensated device, a wide range of filter component types and values can be supported.
8.2.2.3.1 Inductor Selection

KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current.
For designs using low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics, use KIND = 0.3. When using higher ESR output
capacitors, KIND = 0.2 yields better results.
For this design example, use KIND = 0.2 to keep the inductor ripple current small. The minimum inductor value is
calculated to be 0.44 µH.
For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current and saturation current ratings not be exceeded.

For this design, the RMS inductor current is 15.4 A, and the peak inductor current is 15.1 A. For this design, a
Vishay IHLP2525CZ-01 style output inductor is specified. The largest value greater than 0.44 µH that meets
these current requirements is 0.68 µH. Increasing the inductor value decreases the ripple current and the
corresponding output ripple voltage. The inductor value can be decreased if more margin in the RMS current is
required. In general, inductor values for use with the TPS54010 falls in the range of 0.47 to 2.2 µH.
8.2.2.3.2 Capacitor Requirements
The important design factors for the output capacitor are dc voltage rating, ripple current rating, and equivalent
series resistance (ESR). The dc voltage and ripple current ratings cannot be exceeded. The ESR is important
because along with the inductor current it determines the amount of output ripple voltage. The actual value of the
output capacitor is not critical, but some practical limits do exist. Consider the relationship between the desired
closed-loop crossover frequency of the design and LC corner frequency of the output filter. In general, it is
desirable to keep the closed-loop crossover frequency at less than 1/5 of the switching frequency. With high
switching frequencies such as the 500 kHz frequency of this design, internal circuit limitations of the TPS54010
limit the practical maximum crossover frequency to about 70 kHz. To allow for adequate phase gain in the
compensation network, the LC corner frequency should be about one decade or so below the closed-loop
crossover frequency. This limits the minimum capacitor value for the output filter to:
C
OUT(MIN)
+

L
OUT
ǒ
K
2p ƒ
CO
Ǔ

(11)
Where K is the frequency multiplier for the spread between fLC and fCO. K should be between 5 and 15, typically
10 for one decade difference. For a desired crossover of 100-kHz and a 0.68-µH inductor, the minimum value for
the output capacitor is 93 µF using a minimum K factor of 5. Increasing the K factor would require using a larger
capacitance as 100 kHz is approaching the maximum practical closed-loop crossover frequency for this device.
The selected output capacitor must be rated for a voltage greater than the desired output voltage plus one half
the ripple voltage. Any de-rating amount must also be included. The maximum RMS ripple current in the output
capacitors is given by Equation 12:

(12)
The calculated RMS ripple current is 780 mA in the output capacitors.
The maximum ESR of the output capacitor is determined by the amount of allowable output ripple as specified in
the initial design parameters. The output ripple voltage is the inductor ripple current times the ESR of the output
filter; therefore, the maximum specified ESR as listed in the capacitor data sheet is given by Equation 13 :

and the maximum ESR required is 22.2 mΩ. A capacitor that meets these requirements is a Cornell Dubilier
Special Polymer (SP) ESRD101M06 rated at 6.3 V with a maximum ESR of 0.015 Ω and a ripple current rating of
2 A. An additional small 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor C13 is a also used.
Other capacitor types work well with the TPS54010, depending on the needs of the application.

8.2.2.3.3 Compensation Components
The external compensation used with the TPS54010 allows for a wide range of output filter configurations. A
large range of capacitor values and types of dielectric are supported. The design example uses Type-3
compensation consisting of R1, R3, R5, C6, C7, and C8. Additionally, R2 along with R1 forms a voltage divider
network that sets the output voltage. These component reference designators are the same as those used in the
SWIFT Designer Software. There are a number of different ways to design a compensation network. This
procedure outlines a relatively simple procedure that produces good results with most output filter combinations.
Use the SWIFT Designer Software for designs with unusually high closed-loop crossover frequencies, low value,
low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics or if you are unsure about the design procedure.
When designing compensation networks for the TPS54010, a number of factors must be considered. The gain of
the compensated error amplifier should not be limited by the open-loop amplifier gain characteristics and should
not produce excessive gain at the switching frequency. Also, the closed-loop crossover frequency should be set
less than one-fifth of the switching frequency, and the phase margin at crossover must be greater than 45
degrees. The general procedure outlined here produces results consistent with these requirements without going
into great detail about the theory of loop compensation.
First, calculate the output filter LC corner frequency using Equation 14:
1
ƒ
+
LC
2p L
C
OUT OUT
Ǹ
(14)
For the design example, fLC = 19.3 kHz.
Choose the closed-loop crossover frequency to be greater than fLC and less than one-fifth of the switching
frequency. Also, the crossover frequency should not exceed 150 kHz, as the error amplifier may not provide the
desired gain. For this design, a crossover frequency of 100 kHz was chosen. This value is chosen for
comparatively wide loop bandwidth while still allowing for adequate phase boost to insure stability.
Next, calculate the R2 resistor value for the output voltage of 1.5 V using Equation 15:
R2 + R1 0.891
V
* 0.891
OUT
(15)
For any TPS54010 design, start with an R1 value of 10 kΩ. R2 is 14.7 kΩ.
Now, the values for the compensation components that set the poles and zeros of the compensation network can
be calculated. Assuming that R1 >> than R5 and C6 >> C7, the pole and zero locations are given by Equation 16
through Equation 22:
1

ƒ

P1
2pR5C8

2pR3C7
(19)
Additionally, there is a pole at the origin, which has unity gain at a frequency:
1
ƒ
+
INT
2pR1C6
(20)
This pole is used to set the overall gain of the compensated error amplifier and determines the closed-loop
crossover frequency. Because R1 is given as 1 kΩ and the crossover frequency is selected as 100 kHz, the

The final pole is placed at a frequency above the closed-loop crossover frequency high enough to not cause the
phase to decrease too much at the crossover frequency while still providing enough attenuation so that there is
little or no gain at the switching frequency. The fP2 pole location for this circuit is set to 3.5 times the closed-loop

Note that capacitors are only available in a limited range of standard values, so the nearest standard value has
been chosen for each capacitor. The measured closed-loop response for this design is shown in Figure 5.
8.2.2.4 Bias and Bootstrap Capacitors
Every TPS54010 design requires a bootstrap capacitor, C3, and a bias capacitor, C4. The bootstrap capacitor
must be a 0.1 µF. The bootstrap capacitor is located between the PH pins and BOOT. The bias capacitor is
connected between the VBIAS pin and AGND. The value should be 1.0 µF. Both capacitors should be highquality ceramic types with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability. They should be placed as close
to the device connection pins as possible.
8.2.2.5 Power Good
The TPS54010 is provided with a power-good output pin PWRGD. This output is an open-drain output and is
intended to be pulled up to a 3.3-V or 5-V logic supply. A 10-kΩ pullup works well in this application.
8.2.2.6 Snubber Circuit
R10 and C11 of the application schematic comprise a snubber circuit. The snubber is included to reduce
overshoot and ringing on the phase node when the internal high-side FET turns on. Because the frequency and
amplitude of the ringing depends to a large degree on parasitic effects, it is best to choose these component
values based on actual measurements of any design layout. See literature number SLUP100 for more detailed
information on snubber design.

Figure 13. 1.5-V Power Supply With Remote Sense
With an output current of 14 A, if the load is located far from the dc/dc converter circuit, it may be beneficial to
include a remote sense capability. Figure 13 is an example of a power supply incorporating active differential
remote sensing. As the TPS54010 only has a positive VSENSE input, this circuit compensates for voltage drops
in both the output voltage rail and the return (GND). The difference amplifier of U2 forces the output of the
TPS54010 to generate an output voltage that maintains a constant 1.5-V difference between
+1.5V_REMOTE_SENSE and –1.5V_REMOTE_SENSE.

9 Layout
9.1 PCB Layout
The PVIN pins are connected together on the printed- circuit board (PCB) and bypassed with a low ESR ceramic
bypass capacitor. Take care to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the PVIN
pins, and the TPS54010 ground pins. The minimum recommended bypass capacitance is a 10-µF ceramic
capacitor with a X5R or X7R dielectric. The optimum placement is as close as possible to the PVIN pins, the
AGND, and PGND pins. See Figure 35 for an example of a board layout. If the VIN is connected to a separate
source supply, it is bypassed with its own capacitor. There is an area of ground on the top layer of the PCB,
directly under the IC, with an exposed area for connection to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground
area to any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the ground side of the input and output filter capacitors.
The AGND and PGND pins are tied to the PCB ground by connecting them to the ground area under the device
as shown in Figure 35. Use a separate wide trace for the analog ground signal path. This analog ground is used
for the voltage set point divider, timing resistor RT, slow-start capacitor, and bias capacitor grounds. The PH pins
are tied together and routed to the output inductor. Because the PH connection is the switching node, an inductor
is located close to the PH pins, and the area of the PCB conductor is minimized to prevent excessive capacitive
coupling. Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and the BOOT pin as shown in Figure 35. Keep
the boot capacitor close to the IC, and minimize the conductor trace lengths. Connect the output filter
capacitor(s) between the VOUT trace and PGND. It is important to keep the loop formed by the PH pins, Lout,
Cout, and PGND as small as is practical. Place the compensation components from the VOUT trace to the
VSENSE and COMP pins. Do not place these components too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of the IC
package and the device pinout, they must be routed close, but maintain as much separation as possible while
keeping the layout compact. Connect the bias capacitor from the VBIAS pin to analog ground using the isolated
analog ground trace. If a slow-start capacitor or RT resistor is used, or if the SYNC pin is used to select 350-kHz
operating frequency, connect them to this trace.
For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground plane must provide an adequate heat-dissipating area.
A 3-inch by 3-inch plane of 1-ounce copper is recommended, though not mandatory, depending on ambient
temperature and airflow. Most applications have larger areas of internal ground plane available, and the
PowerPAD must be connected to the largest area available. Additional areas on the top or bottom layers also
help dissipate heat, and any area available must be used when 6-A or greater operation is desired. Connection
from the exposed area of the PowerPAD to the analog ground plane layer must be made using 0.013-inch
diameter vias to avoid solder wicking through the vias.
Eight vias must be in the PowerPAD area with four additional vias located under the device package. The size of
the vias under the package, but not in the exposed thermal pad area, can be increased to 0.018. Additional vias
beyond the twelve recommended that enhance thermal performance must be included in areas not under the
device package.
