OVERVIEW
The TPS54326 is a 3-A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated N-channel MOSFETs and
Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ to improve light lode efficiency . 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 TPS54326 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.

SLVSA13E – OCTOBER 2009 – REVISED JUNE 2012
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 ,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 the 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
TPS54326 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The
TPS54326 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 may vary from 700 kHz depending on the off time, which is ended when the
fed back portion of the output voltage falls to the VFBthreshold voltage.
Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ Control
The TPS54326 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.

Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start
The soft start 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 2. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is
2 μA.

(2)
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.
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 output voltage is within –10% of the target value, internal comparators detect
power good state and the power good signal becomes high. Rpg resister value, which is connected between PG
and VREG5, is required from 20kΩ to 150kΩ. If the feedback voltage goes under 15% of the target value, the
power good signal becomes low after a 10 ms internal delay.
Output Discharge Control
TPS54326 discharges the output when EN is low, or the controller is turned off by the protection functions (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.

Current Protection
The output over-current 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. If the measured voltage is
above the voltage proportional to the current limit, Then , the device constantly monitors the low-side FET switch
voltage, which is proportional to the switch current, during the low-side on-time.
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.
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 under-voltage protection circuit to be activated. When the over current
condition is removed, the output voltage will return to the regulated value. This protection is non-latching.
Over/Undervoltage Protection
The TPS54326 detects over and undervoltage conditions by monitoring the feedback voltage (VFB). This
function is enabled after approximately 1.7 times the soft-start time. When the feedback voltage becomes higher
than 120% 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. 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 top and bottom MOSFET.
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 TPS54326 is shut off. This is protection is non-latching.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal protection is self-activating. If the junction temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 150°C),
the TPS54326 shuts off. This protection is non-latching.

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 and Equation 4 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors, too high of resistance is more
susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VFB input current are more noticeable.
For output voltage from 0.76 V to 2.5 V:

VOUT = 0.765 • 1 + −

)

For output voltage over 2.5 V:

Output Filter Selection
The output filter used with the TPS54326 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at:
FP =
1
2p LOUT ´ COUT
(5)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS54326. 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 5 is located below the high frequency zero but close enough that the phase boost provided by the
high frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. To meet this requirement use the
values recommended in Table 1.

Optional
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 6,
Equation 7, and Equation 8. 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 700 kHz for
fSW.

For this design example, the calculated peak current is 3.47 A and the calculated RMS current is 3.01 A. The
inductor used is a TDK SPM6530-1R5M100 with a peak current rating of 11.5 A and an RMS current rating of 11
A.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54326 is intended for use
with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 22 µF to 68 µF. Use Equation 9 to
determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22 µF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each.
The calculated RMS current is 0.271 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4 A.

Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54326 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 from pin 14 to ground is recommended. 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 1.0 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
The PWP 14 pin package incorporates an exposed PowerPAD™ and the QFN 16 pin package incorporates a
similar exposed thermal pad. These exposed thermal pads are designed to be connected 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 PowerPAD™ package 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 the PWP 14 pin and QFN 16 pin packages are shown in the Thermal
Pad Mechanical Data section of this data sheet.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The following layout guidelines are provided using the PWP 14 pin package as an example. The general
guidelines and routing are also applicable to the QFN 16 pin package. Allowance should be made for the
differences in the package pin configurations.
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 signal 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 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 SGND.
12. Providing sufficient via is preferable for VIN, SW and PGND connection.
13. PCB pattern for VIN, SW, and PGND should be as broad as possible.
14. If VIN and VCC is shorted, VIN and VCC patterns need to be connected with broad pattern lines.
15. VIN Capacitor should be placed as near as possible to the device.
