APPLICATIONS
•
The TPS54229E is an adaptive on-time D-CAP2™
mode synchronous buck converter. The TPS54229E
enables system designers to complete the suite of
various end-equipment power bus regulators with a
cost effective, low component count, low standby
current solution. The main control loop for the
TPS54229E uses the D-CAP2™ mode control that
provides a fast transient response with no external
compensation components. The adaptive on-time
control supports seamless transition between PWM
mode at higher load conditions and Eco-mode™
operation at light loads. Eco-mode™ allows the
TPS54229E to maintain high efficiency during lighter
load conditions. The TPS54229E also has a
proprietary circuit that enables the device to adopt to
both low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output
capacitors, such as POSCAP or SP-CAP, and ultralow ESR ceramic capacitors. The device operates
from 4.5-V to 18-V VIN input. The output voltage can
be programmed between 0.76 V and 7 V. The device
also features an adjustable soft start time. The
TPS54229E is available in the 8-pin DDA package,
and designed to operate from –40°C to 85°C.

SLVSAZ7A – SEPTEMBER 2011 – REVISED MARCH 2012
www.ti.com
OVERVIEW
The TPS54229E is a 2-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.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS54229E 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 is set by the converter input voltage, VIN, and the output voltage, VO, to
maintain a pseudo-fixed frequency over the input 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 reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the need
for ESR induced output ripple from D-CAP2™ mode control.
PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS54229E uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The
TPS54229E runs with a pseudo-constant frequency of 650 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; therefore, when the duty ratio is VOUT/VIN, the frequency is constant.
Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ Control
The TPS54229E is designed with Auto-Skip Eco-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 1
(VIN - VOUT )×VOUT
1
I OUT ( LL ) =
×
2 × L × fsw
VIN
(1)
Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start
The soft start function is adjustable. When the EN pin becomes high, 6 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 2. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is
6 μA.

SS
(ms) =
CSS (nF) x VREF ´1.1
I (mA)
SS
=
CSS (nF) x 0.765 ´1.1

(2)
The TPS54229E contains a unique circuit to prevent current from being pulled from the output during startup if
the output is pre-biased. When the soft-start commands a voltage higher than the pre-bias level (internal soft
start 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 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 scheme prevents the initial sinking of the pre-bias output, and ensure that the out voltage (VO) 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.

Current Protection
The output overcurrent protection (OCP) is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect control circuit. The
switch current is monitored by measuring the low-side FET switch voltage between the SW pin and GND. This
voltage is proportional to the switch current. To improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature
compensated.
During the on time of the high-side FET switch, the switch current increases at a linear rate determined by VIN,
VOUT, the on-time and the output inductor value. During the on time of the low-side FET switch, this current
decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current is the load current Iout. The TPS54229E constantly
monitors the low-side FET switch voltage, which is proportional to the switch current, during the low-side on-time.
If the measured voltage is above the voltage proportional to the current limit, an internal counter is incremented
per each SW cycle and the converter maintains the low-side switch on until the measured voltage is below the
voltage corresponding to the current limit at which time the switching cycle is terminated and a new switching
cycle begins. In subsequent switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in
the same manner. If the over current condition exists for 7 consecutive switching cycles, the internal OCL
threshold is set to a lower level, reducing the available output current. When a switching cycle occurs where the
switch current is not above the lower OCL threshold, the counter is reset and the OCL limit is returned to the
higher value.
There are some important considerations for this type of over-current protection. The load current one half of the
peak-to-peak inductor current higher than the over-current threshold. Also when the current is being limited, the
output voltage tends to fall as the demanded load current may be higher than the current available from the
converter. This may cause the output voltage to fall. When the over current condition is removed, the output
voltage returns to the regulated value. This protection is non-latching.
UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lock out protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is lower
than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS54229E is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
Thermal Shutdown
TPS54229E monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 165°C),
the device is shut off. This is non-latch protection.

Output Voltage 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. Start by using Equation 3 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors, high resistance is more susceptible to
noise, and the voltage errors from the VFB input current are more noticeable.

Output Filter Selection
The output filter used with the TPS54229E is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at:

(4)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS54229E. The low frequency phase is 180 degrees. At the output filter pole frequency, the gain
rolls off at a –40 dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. D-CAP2™ introduces a high frequency zero
that reduces the gain roll off to –20 dB per decade and increases the phase to 90 degrees one decade above the
zero frequency. The inductor and capacitor selected for the output filter must be selected so that the double pole
of Equation 4 is located below the high frequency zero but close enough that the phase boost provided be the
high frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. To meet this requirement use the
values recommended in Table 1

Optional
Since the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value increases as the output
voltage increases. For higher output voltages at or above 1.8 V, additional phase boost can be achieved by
adding a feed forward capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 5,
Equation 6 and Equation 7. The inductor saturation current rating must be greater than the calculated peak
current and the RMS or heating current rating must be greater than the calculated RMS current. Use 650 kHz for
fSW.
Use 700 kHz for fSW. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 6 and the RMS
current of Equation 7.

For this design example, the calculated peak current is 2.335 A and the calculated RMS current is 2.009 A. The
inductor used is a TDK CLF7045T-2R2N with a peak current rating of 5.5 A and an RMS current rating of 4.3 A.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54229E is intended for
use with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 20µF to 68µF. Use Equation 8
to determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

For this design three TDK C3216X5R0J106M 10µF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each.
The calculated RMS current is 0.19 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4A.
Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54229E requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is needed depending on the
application. A ceramic capacitor over 10 μF is recommended for the decoupling capacitor. An additional 0.1 µF
capacitor (C3) is required to provide additional high frequency filtering and insure accurate current limit operation.
This capacitor must be placed as close to the IC pins 2 (VIN) and 4 (GND) as possible. The capacitor voltage
rating needs to be greater than the maximum input voltage.
Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1 µF. ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VBST to SW pin for proper operation. It is
recommended to use a ceramic capacitor.

VREG5 Capacitor Selection
A 0.47 µF. ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 to GND pin for proper operation. It is
recommended to use a ceramic capacitor.
THERMAL INFORMATION
This 8-pin DDA package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be directly to an external
heatsink. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to the printed board (PCB). After soldering, the PCB can be
used as a heatsink. 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 heatsink structure designed into the PCB. This design optimizes the heat transfer from the integrated
circuit (IC).
For additional information on the exposed thermal pad and how to use the advantage of its heat dissipating
abilities, see the Technical Brief, PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package, Texas Instruments Literature No.
SLMA002 and Application Brief, PowerPAD™ Made Easy, Texas Instruments Literature No. SLMA004.
The exposed thermal pad dimensions for this package are shown in the following illustration.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
1. Keep the input switching current loop as small as possible.
2. 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.
3. Keep analog and non-switching components away from switching components.
4. Make a single point connection from the analog ground to power ground.
5. Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
6. Keep the pattern lines for VIN and PGND broad.
7. Exposed pad of device must be connected to PGND with solder.
8. VREG5 capacitor should be placed near the device, and connected to PGND.
9. Output capacitor should be connected to a broad pattern of the PGND.
10. Voltage feedback loop should be as short as possible, and preferably with ground shield.
11. Lower resistor of the voltage divider which is connected to the VFB pin should be tied to analog ground
trace.
12. Providing sufficient via is preferable for VIN, SW and PGND connection.
13. VIN input bypass capacitor and VIN high frequency bypass capacitor must be placed as near as possible to
the device.
14. Performance based on four layer printed circuit board.
