Efficiency is maximized through the integrated 128mΩ and 84-mΩ MOSFETs, low IQ and pulse skipping
at light loads. Using the enable pin, the shutdown
supply current is reduced to 2 μA. This step-down
(buck) converter provides accurate regulation for a
variety of loads with a well-regulated voltage
reference that is 1.5% over temperature.
2 Applications

•
Consumer Applications such as a Digital TV
(DTV), Set Top Box (STB, DVD/Blu-ray Player),
LCD Display, CPE (Cable Modem, WiFi Router),
DLP Projectors, Smart Meters
Battery Chargers
Industrial and Car Audio Power Supplies
5-V, 12-V, and 24-V Distributed Power Bus Supply
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting on the high-side
MOSFET protects the TPS5433xA family of devices
in overload situations and is enhanced by a low-side
sourcing current limit which prevents current
runaway. A low-side sinking current-limit turns off the
low-side MOSFET to prevent excessive reverse
current. Hiccup protection is triggered if the
overcurrent condition continues for longer than the
preset time. Thermal shutdown disables the device
when the die temperature exceeds the threshold and
enables the device again after the built-in thermal
hiccup time.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The device is a 28-V, 3-A, synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated n-channel MOSFETs. To
improve performance during line and load transients the device implements a constant-frequency, peak currentmode control which reduces output capacitance and simplifies external frequency-compensation design.
The device has been designed for safe monotonic startup into pre-biased loads. The device has a typical default
startup voltage of 4 V. The EN pin has an internal pullup-current source that can provide a default condition when
the EN pin is floating for the device to operate. The total operating current for the device is 310 µA (typical) when
not switching and under no load. When the device is disabled, the supply current is less than 5 μA.
The integrated 128-mΩ and 84-mΩ MOSFETs allow for high-efficiency power-supply designs with continuous
output currents up to 3 A.
The device reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode. The bias voltage for
the integrated high-side MOSFET is supplied by a capacitor between the BOOT and PH pins. The boot capacitor
voltage is monitored by an UVLO circuit and turns off the high-side MOSFET when the voltage falls below a
preset threshold. The output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the 0.8-V reference voltage.
The device minimizes excessive output overvoltage transients by taking advantage of the overvoltage powergood comparator. When the regulated output voltage is greater than 106% of the nominal voltage, the
overvoltage comparator is activated, and the high-side MOSFET is turned off and masked from turning on until
the output voltage is lower than 104%.
The TPS54335A device has a wide switching frequency of 50 kHz to 1500 kHz which allows for efficiency and
size optimization when selecting the output filter components. The internal 2-ms soft-start time is implemented to
minimize inrush currents.
The TPS54336A device has a fixed 340-kHz switching frequency. The device adjusts the soft-start time with the
SS pin.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Fixed-Frequency PWM Control
The device uses a fixed-frequency, peak current-mode control. The output voltage is compared through external
resistors on the VSENSE pin to an internal voltage reference by an error amplifier which drives the COMP pin.
An internal oscillator initiates the turn on of the high-side power switch. The error amplifier output is compared to
the current of the high-side power switch. When the power-switch current reaches the COMP voltage level the
high-side power switch is turned off and the low-side power switch is turned on. The COMP pin voltage increases
and decreases as the output current increases and decreases. The device implements a current-limit by
clamping the COMP pin voltage to a maximum level and also implements a minimum clamp for improved
transient-response performance.
7.3.2 Light-Load Operation
The device monitors the peak switch current of the high-side MOSFET. When the peak switch current is lower
than 0.5 A (typical), the device stops switching to boost the efficiency until the peak switch current again rises
higher than 0.5 A (typical).

7.3.3 Voltage Reference
The voltage-reference system produces a precise ±1.5% voltage-reference over temperature by scaling the
output of a temperature-stable bandgap circuit.
7.3.4 Adjusting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE pin. Using divider resistors
with 1% tolerance or better is recommended. Begin with a value of 10 kΩ for the upper resistor divider, R1, and
use Equation 1 to calculate the value of R2. Consider using larger value resistors to improve efficiency at light
loads. If the values are too high then the regulator is more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the
VSENSE input current are noticeable.

7.3.5 Enabling and Adjusting Undervoltage Lockout
The EN pin provides electrical on and off control of the device. When the EN pin voltage exceeds the threshold
voltage, the device begins operation. If the EN pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator
stops switching and enters the low-quiescent (IQ) state.
The EN pin has an internal pullup-current source which allows the user to float the EN pin to enable the device. If
an application requires control of the EN pin, use open-drain or open-collector output logic to interface with the
pin.
The device implements internal undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) circuitry on the VIN pin. The device is disabled
when the VIN pin voltage falls below the internal VIN UVLO threshold. The internal VIN UVLO threshold has a
hysteresis of 180 mV.
If an application requires a higher UVLO threshold on the VIN pin, then the EN pin can be configured as shown
in Figure 15. When using the external UVLO function, setting the hysteresis at a value greater than 500 mV is
recommended.
The EN pin has a small pullup-current, Ip, which sets the default state of the pin to enable when no external
components are connected. The pullup current is also used to control the voltage hysteresis for the UVLO
function because it increases by Ih when the EN pin crosses the enable threshold. Use Equation 2, and
Equation 3 to calculate the values of R1 and R2 for a specified UVLO threshold.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.6 Error Amplifier
The device has a transconductance amplifier as the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the VSENSE
voltage to the lower of the internal soft-start voltage or the internal 0.8-V voltage reference. The
transconductance of the error amplifier is 1300 μA/V (typical). The frequency compensation components are
placed between the COMP pin and ground.
7.3.7 Slope Compensation and Output Current
The device adds a compensating ramp to the signal of the switch current. This slope compensation prevents
subharmonic oscillations as the duty cycle increases. The available peak inductor current remains constant over
the full duty-cycle range.
7.3.8 Safe Startup into Pre-Biased Outputs
The device has been designed to prevent the low-side MOSFET from discharging a pre-biased output. During
monotonic pre-biased startup, both high-side and low-side MOSFETs are not allowed to be turned on until the
internal soft-start voltage (TPS54335A), or SS pin voltage (TPS54336A) is higher than VSENSE pin voltage.
7.3.9 Bootstrap Voltage (BOOT)
The device has an integrated boot regulator. The boot regulator requires a small ceramic capacitor between the
BOOT and PH pins to provide the gate-drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The boot capacitor is charged
when the BOOT pin voltage is less than the VIN voltage and when the BOOT-PH voltage is below regulation.
The value of this ceramic capacitor should be 0.1 μF. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric
with a voltage rating of 10 V or higher is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature
and voltage. When the voltage between BOOT and PH pins drops below the BOOT-PH UVLO threshold, which
is 2.1 V (typical), the high-side MOSFET turns off and the low-side MOSFET turns on, allowing the boot
capacitor to recharge.

7.3.11 Soft-Start (TPS54336A Only)
The TPS54336A device uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the SS pin voltage as the
reference voltage and regulates the output accordingly. A capacitor on the SS pin to ground implements a softstart time. The device has an internal pullup current source of 2.3 μA that charges the external soft-start
capacitor. Use to calculate the soft time (tSS, 10% to 90%) and soft capacitor (CSS).

where

When the input UVLO is triggered, the device stops switching and enters low-current operation when either the
EN pin is pulled below 1.21 V or a thermal-shutdown event occurs. At the subsequent power-up, when the
shutdown condition is removed, the device does not begin switching until it has discharged the SS pin to ground
ensuring proper soft-start behavior.
7.3.12 Output Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The device incorporates an output overvoltage-protection (OVP) circuit to minimize output voltage overshoot. For
example, when the power-supply output is overloaded, the error amplifier compares the actual output voltage to
the internal reference voltage. If the VSENSE pin voltage is lower than the internal reference voltage for a
considerable time, the output of the error amplifier demands maximum output current. When the condition is
removed, the regulator output rises and the error-amplifier output transitions to the steady-state voltage. In some
applications with small output capacitance, the power-supply output voltage can respond faster than the error
amplifier which leads to the possibility of an output overshoot. The OVP feature minimizes the overshoot by
comparing the VSENSE pin voltage to the OVP threshold. If the VSENSE pin voltage is greater than the OVP
threshold, the high-side MOSFET is turned off which prevents current from flowing to the output and minimizes
output overshoot. When the VSENSE voltage drops lower than the OVP threshold, the high-side MOSFET is
allowed to turn on at the next clock cycle.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.13.1 High-Side MOSFET Overcurrent Protection
The device implements current mode control which uses the COMP pin voltage to control the turn off of the highside MOSFET and the turn on of the low-side MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis. During each cycle, the switch
current and the current reference generated by the COMP pin voltage are compared. When the peak switch
current intersects the current reference the high-side switch turns off.
7.3.13.2 Low-Side MOSFET Overcurrent Protection
While the low-side MOSFET is turned on, the conduction current is monitored by the internal circuitry. During
normal operation the low-side MOSFET sources current to the load. At the end of every clock cycle, the low-side
MOSFET sourcing current is compared to the internally set low-side sourcing current-limit. If the low-side
sourcing current-limit is exceeded, the high-side MOSFET does not turn on and the low-side MOSFET stays on
for the next cycle. The high-side MOSFET turns on again when the low-side current is below the low-side
sourcing current-limit at the start of a cycle.
The low-side MOSFET can also sink current from the load. If the low-side sinking current-limit is exceeded the
low-side MOSFET turns off immediately for the remainder of that clock cycle. In this scenario, both MOSFETs
are off until the start of the next cycle.
Furthermore, if an output overload condition (as measured by the COMP pin voltage) occurs for more than the
hiccup wait time, which is programmed for 512 switching cycles, the device shuts down and restarts after the
hiccup time of 16384 cycles. The hiccup mode helps to reduce the device power dissipation under severe
overcurrent conditions.
7.3.14 Thermal Shutdown
The internal thermal-shutdown circuitry forces the device to stop switching if the junction temperature exceeds
175°C typically. When the junction temperature drops below 165°C typically, the internal thermal-hiccup timer
begins to count. The device reinitiates the power-up sequence after the built-in thermal-shutdown hiccup time
(32768 cycles) is over.
7.3.15 Small-Signal Model for Loop Response
Figure 17 shows an equivalent model for the device control loop which can be modeled in a circuit-simulation
program to check frequency and transient responses. The error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier with a
gm of 1300 μA/V. The error amplifier can be modeled using an ideal voltage-controlled current source. The
resistor, Roea (3.07 MΩ), and capacitor, Coea (20.7 pF), model the open-loop gain and frequency response of the
error amplifier. The 1-mV AC-voltage source between the nodes a and b effectively breaks the control loop for
the frequency response measurements. Plotting ac-c and c-b show the small-signal responses of the power
stage and frequency compensation respectively. Plotting a-b shows the small-signal response of the overall loop.
The dynamic loop response can be checked by replacing the load resistance, RL, with a current source with the
appropriate load-step amplitude and step rate in a time-domain analysis.

7.3.16 Simple Small-Signal Model for Peak Current-Mode Control
Figure 18 is a simple small-signal model that can be used to understand how to design the frequency
compensation. The device power stage can be approximated to a voltage-controlled current-source (duty-cycle
modulator) supplying current to the output capacitor and load resistor. The control-to-output transfer function is
shown in Equation 6 and consists of a DC gain, one dominant pole and one ESR zero. The quotient of the
change in switch current and the change in the COMP pin voltage (node c in Figure 17) is the power-stage
transconductance (gmps) which is 8 A/V for the device. The DC gain of the power stage is the product of gmps
and the load resistance, RL, with resistive loads as shown in Equation 7. As the load current increases, the DC
gain decreases. This variation with load may seem problematic at first glance, but fortunately the dominant pole
moves with the load current (see Equation 8). The combined effect is highlighted by the dashed line in Figure 19.
As the load current decreases, the gain increases and the pole frequency lowers, keeping the 0-dB crossover
frequency the same for the varying load conditions which makes designing the frequency compensation easier.

7.3.17 Small-Signal Model for Frequency Compensation
The device uses a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier and readily supports two of the commonly
used Type II compensation circuits and a Type III frequency compensation circuit, as shown in Figure 20. In
Type 2A, one additional high frequency pole, C6, is added to attenuate high frequency noise. In Type III, one
additional capacitor, C11, is added to provide a phase boost at the crossover frequency. See Designing Type III
Compensation for Current Mode Step-Down Converters (SLVA352) for a complete explanation of Type III
compensation.
The following design guidelines are provided for advanced users who prefer to compensate using the general
method. The following equations only apply to designs whose ESR zero is above the bandwidth of the control
loop which is usually true with ceramic output capacitors.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Operation With VI < 4.5 V (minimum VI)
The device is designed to operate with input voltages above 4.5 V. The typical VIN UVLO threshold is 4V and if
VIN falls below this threshold the device stops switching. If the EN pin voltage is above EN threshold the device
becomes active when the VIN pin passes the UVLO threshold. .
7.4.2 Operation With EN Control
The enable threshold is 1.2-V typical. If the EN pin voltage is below this threshold the device does not switch
even though the Vin is above the UVLO threshold. The IC quiescent current is reduced in this state. Once the
EN is above the threshold with VIN above UVLO threshold the device is active again and the soft-start sequence
is initiated.

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 TPS5433xA family of devices are step-down DC-DC converters. The devices are typically used to convert a
higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage with a maximum available output current of 3 A. Use the following
design procedure to select component values for each device. Alternately, use the WEBENCH software to
generate a complete design. The WEBENCH software uses an iterative design procedure and accesses a
comprehensive database of components when generating a design. This section presents a simplified discussion
of the design process.
8.1.1 Supplementary Guidance
The device must operate within 150°C to ensure continuous function and operation of the device.
8.1.2 Differences Between the Two DRC Packages
The TPS54335A and TPS54335-1A devices are packaged in the same 3-mm × 3-mm SON package family
which is designated as DRC (see the Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information section for all package
options). However, these two DRC packages are not exactly the same.
The difference between these two DRC packages is the clearance between the pins and heat pad. Figure 21
shows a side-by-side picture of these two packages. In some applications, controlling the amount of solder paste
during the assembly process of an application board is difficult. The risk of a pin-to-heat pad short (solder bridge)
is possible in such an assembly process. The TPS54335-1A device is intended to support this type of application
by having wider clearance.
NOTE
This heat-pad shape is the only difference between the TPS54335A and TPS54335-1A
devices. The electrical functions and performances of both devices are the same. The
thermal resistance and parameter values between these two packages are almost the
same with negligible differences.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following design procedure can be used to select component values for the TPS54335A and TPS54336A
devices. Alternately, the WEBENCH® software may be used to generate a complete design. The WEBENCH
software uses an iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive database of components when
generating a design. This section presents a simplified discussion of the design process using the TPS54335A
device.
For this design example, use the input parameters listed in Table 2.
8.2.2.1 Custom Design with WEBENCH Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the TPS54335A device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
1. Start by entering your VIN, VOUT and IOUT requirements.
2. Optimize your design for key parameters like efficiency, footprint and cost using the optimizer dial and
compare this design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
3. WEBENCH Power Designer provides you with a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real
time pricing and component availability.
4. In most cases, you will also be able to:
– Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance,
– Run thermal simulations to understand the thermal performance of your board,
– Export your customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats,
– Print PDF reports for the design, and share your design with colleagues.
5. Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/webench.
8.2.2.2 Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the TPS54335A device is set at 340 kHz to match the internally set frequency of the
TPS54336A device for this design. Use to calculate the required value for R7. The calculated value is 140.6 kΩ.
Use the next higher standard value of 143 kΩ for R7.
8.2.2.3 Output Voltage Set Point
The output voltage of the TPS54335A device is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. In the
application circuit of , this divider network is comprised of R5 and R6. Use Equation 15 and Equation 16 to
calculate the relationship of the output voltage to the resistor divider.
R5 ´ Vref
R6 =
VOUT - Vref
(15)
é R5 ù
VOUT = Vref ´ ê
+1ú
ë R6 û
(16)
Select a value of R5 to be approximately 100 kΩ. Slightly increasing or decreasing R5 can result in closer outputvoltage matching when using standard value resistors. In this design, R5 = 100 kΩ and R6 = 19.1 kΩ which
results in a 4.988-V output voltage. The 51.1-Ω resistor, R4, is provided as a convenient location to break the
control loop for stability testing.
8.2.2.4 Undervoltage Lockout Set Point
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) set point can be adjusted using the external-voltage divider network of R1 and
R2. R1 is connected between the VIN and EN pins of the TPS54335A device. R2 is connected between the EN
and GND pins. The UVLO has two thresholds, one for power up when the input voltage is rising and one for
power down or brown outs when the input voltage is falling. For the example design, the minimum input voltage
is 8 V, so the start-voltage threshold is set to 7.15 V with 1-V hysteresis. Use Equation 2 and Equation 3 to
calculate the values for the upper and lower resistor values of R1 and R2.

8.2.2.5 Input Capacitors
The TPS54335A device requires an input decoupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input
capacitor. The typical recommended value for the decoupling capacitor is 10 μF. A high-quality ceramic type X5R
or X7R is recommended. The voltage rating should be greater than the maximum input voltage. A smaller value
can be used as long as all other requirements are met; however a 10-μF capacitor has been shown to work well
in a wide variety of circuits. Additionally, some bulk capacitance may be needed, especially if the TPS54335A
circuit is not located within about 2 inches from the input voltage source. The value for this capacitor is not critical
but should be rated to handle the maximum input voltage including ripple voltage, and should filter the output so
that input ripple voltage is acceptable. For this design, a 10-μF, X7R dielectric capacitor rated for 35 V is used for
the input decoupling capacitor. The ESR is approximately 2 mΩ, and the current rating is 3 A. Additionally, a
small 0.1-μF capacitor is included for high frequency filtering.
Use Equation 17 to calculate the input ripple voltage (ΔVIN).
IOUT(MAX) ´ 0.25
DVIN =
+ IOUT(MAX) ´ ESRMAX
CBULK ´ ƒSW
(
)
where
•
•
•
•
CBULK is the bulk capacitor value
ƒSW is the switching frequency
IOUT(MAX) is the maximum load current
ESRMAX is the maximum series resistance of the bulk capacitor
(17)
The maximum RMS (root mean square) ripple current must also be checked. For worst case conditions, use
Equation 18 to calculate ICIN(RMS).
IO(MAX)
ICIN(RMS) =
(18)
2
In this case, the input ripple voltage is 227 mV and the RMS ripple current is 1.5 A.
NOTE
The actual input-voltage ripple is greatly affected by parasitics associated with the layout
and the output impedance of the voltage source.
The Design Requirements section shows the actual input voltage ripple for this circuit which is larger than the
calculated value. This measured value is still below the specified input limit of 400 mV. The maximum voltage
across the input capacitors is VIN(MAX) + ΔVIN / 2. The selected bypass capacitor is rated for 35 V and the ripple
current capacity is greater than 3 A. Both values provide ample margin. The maximum ratings for voltage and
current must not be exceeded under any circumstance.

8.2.2.6 Output Filter Components
Two components must be selected for the output filter, the output inductor (LO) and CO. Because the TPS54335A
device is an externally compensated device, a wide range of filter component types and values can be
supported.
8.2.2.6.1 Inductor Selection
Use Equation 19 to calculate the minimum value of the output inductor (LMIN).
LMIN =
VOUT ´
(VIN(MAX) - VOUT )
VIN(MAX) ´ KIND ´ IOUT ´ ƒSW
where
•
KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output
current
(19)
In general, the value of KIND is at the discretion of the designer; however, the following guidelines may be used.
For designs using low-ESR output capacitors, such as ceramics, a value as high as KIND = 0.3 can be used.
When using higher ESR output capacitors, KIND = 0.2 yields better results.
For this design example, use KIND = 0.3. The minimum inductor value is calculated as 13.4 μH. For this design, a
close standard value of 15 µH was selected for LMIN.
For the output filter inductor, the RMS current and saturation current ratings must not be exceeded. Use
Equation 20 to calculate the RMS inductor current (IL(RMS)).

IL(PK) = IOUT(MAX) +
VOUT ´
(VIN(MAX)
- VOUT
)
1.6 ´ VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ ƒSW
(21)
For this design, the RMS inductor current is 3.002 A and the peak inductor current is 3.503 A. The selected
inductor is a Coilcraft 15 μH, XAL6060-153MEB. This inductor has a saturation current rating of 5.8 A and an
RMS current rating of 6 A which meets the requirements. Smaller or larger inductor values can be used
depending on the amount of ripple current the designer wants to allow so long as the other design requirements
are met. Larger value inductors have lower AC current and result in lower output voltage ripple. Smaller inductor
values increase AC current and output voltage ripple. In general, for the TPS54335A device, use inductors with
values in the range of 0.68 μH to 100 μH.

8.2.2.6.2 Capacitor Selection
Consider three primary factors when selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor determines
the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulator responds to a large change in load current.
The output capacitance must be selected based on the more stringent of these three criteria.
The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criterion. The output capacitor must supply
the load with current when the regulator cannot. This situation occurs if the desired hold-up times are present for
the regulator. In this case, the output capacitor must hold the output voltage above a certain level for a specified
amount of time after the input power is removed. The regulator is also temporarily unable to supply sufficient
output current if a large, fast increase occurs affecting the current requirements of the load, such as a transition
from no load to full load. The regulator usually requires two or more clock cycles for the control loop to notice the
change in load current and output voltage and to adjust the duty cycle to react to the change. The output
capacitor must be sized to supply the extra current to the load until the control loop responds to the load change.
The output capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for 2 clock cycles while only
allowing a tolerable amount of drop in the output voltage. Use Equation 22 to calculate the minimum required
output capacitance.

ΔIOUT is the change in output current

For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 5% change in the output voltage, VOUT, for a load
step of 1.5 A. For this example, ΔIOUT = 1.5 A and ΔVOUT = 0.05 × 5 = 0.25 V. Using these values results in a
minimum capacitance of 35.3 μF. This value does not consider the ESR of the output capacitor in the output
voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to ignore in this calculation.
Equation 23 calculates the minimum output capacitance required to meet the output voltage ripple specification.
In this case, the maximum output voltage ripple is 30 mV. Under this requirement, Equation 23 yields 12.3 µF.

Use Equation 24 to calculate the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output-voltage ripple
specification. Equation 24 indicates the ESR should be less than 29.8 mΩ. In this case, the ESR of the ceramic
capacitor is much smaller than 29.8 mΩ.

(24)
Additional capacitance deratings for aging, temperature, and DC bias should be considered which increases this
minimum value. For this example, two 47-μF 10-V X5R ceramic capacitors with 3 mΩ of ESR are used.
Capacitors generally have limits to the amount of ripple current they can handle without failing or producing
excess heat. An output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current must be specified. Some capacitor
data sheets specify the RMS value of the maximum ripple current. Use Equation 25 to calculate the RMS ripple
current that the output capacitor must support. For this application, Equation 25 yields 116.2 mA for each
capacitor.

8.2.2.7 Compensation Components
Several possible methods exist to design closed loop compensation for DC-DC converters. For the ideal currentmode control, the design equations can be easily simplified. The power stage gain is constant at low frequencies,
and rolls off at –20 dB/decade above the modulator pole frequency. The power stage phase is 0 degrees at low
frequencies and begins to fall one decade below the modulator pole frequency reaching a minimum of –90
degrees which is one decade above the modulator pole frequency. Use Equation 26 to calculate the simple
modulator pole (ƒp_mod).
IOUT max
ƒp_mod =
2p ´ VOUT ´ COUT
(26)
For the TPS54335A device, most circuits have relatively high amounts of slope compensation. As more slope
compensation is applied, the power stage characteristics deviate from the ideal approximations. The phase loss
of the power stage will now approach –180 degrees, making compensation more difficult. The power stage
transfer function can be solved but it requires a tedious calculation. Use the PSpice model to accurately model
the power-stage gain and phase so that a reliable compensation circuit can be designed. Alternately, a direct
measurement of the power stage characteristics can be used which is the technique used in this design
procedure. For this design, the calculated values are as follows:
L1 = 15 µH
C6 and C7 = 47 µF
ESR = 3 mΩ

For this design, the intended crossover frequency is 31.62 kHz (an actual measured data point exists for that
frequency). From the power stage gain and phase plots, the gain at 31.62 kHz is 2.23 dB and the phase is about
-106 degrees. For 60 degrees of phase margin, additional phase boost from a feed-forward capacitor in parallel
with the upper resistor of the voltage set point divider is not needed. R3 sets the gain of the compensated error
amplifier to be equal and opposite the power stage gain at crossover. Use Equation 27 to calculate the required
value of R3.

8.2.2.8 Bootstrap Capacitor
Every TPS54335A design requires a bootstrap capacitor, C3. The bootstrap capacitor value must 0.1 μF. The
bootstrap capacitor is located between the PH and BOOT pins. The bootstrap capacitor should be a high-quality
ceramic type with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability.
8.2.2.9 Power Dissipation Estimate
The following formulas show how to estimate the device power dissipation under continuous-conduction mode
operations. These formulas should not be used if the device is working in the discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM) or pulse-skipping Eco-mode™.
The device power dissipation includes:
1. Conduction loss:
PCON = IOUT2 × rDS(on) × VOUT / VIN
where
•
•
•
•
IOUT is the output current (A)
rDS(on) is the on-resistance of the high-side MOSFET (Ω)
VOUT is the output voltage (V)
VIN is the input voltage (V)
(30)
2. Switching loss:
E = 0.5 × 10–9 × VIN 2 × IOUT × ƒSW
where
•
ƒSW is the switching frequency (Hz)
(31)
3. Gate charge loss:
PG = 22.8 × 10–9 × ƒSW
(32)
4. Quiescent current loss:
PQ = 0.11 × 10-3 × VIN
(33)
Therefore:
Ptot = PCON + E + PG + PQ
where
•
Ptot is the total device power dissipation (W)
(34)
For given TA :
TJ = TA + Rth × Ptot
where
•
•
•
TA is the ambient temperature (°C)
TJ is the junction temperature (°C)
Rth is the thermal resistance of the package (°C/W)
(35)
For given TJmax = 150°C:
TAmax = TJmax – Rth × Ptot
where
•
•
TAmax is the maximum ambient temperature (°C)
TJmax is the maximum junction temperature (°C)

8.2.4.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.4.2.1 TPS54336A Design
The design procedure for the TPS54336A device is identical to the TPS54335A device, except that the
TPS54336A device uses a soft-start circuit rather than an externally set switching frequency at pin 8. The
switching frequency is internally set for 340 kHz.
8.2.4.2.2 Soft-Start Capacitor
The soft-start capacitor determines the minimum amount of time required for the output voltage to reach the
nominal programmed value during power up. This feature is useful if a load requires a controlled-voltage slew
rate. This feature is also used if the output capacitance is very large and requires large amounts of current to
quickly charge the capacitor to the output voltage level. The large currents required to charge the capacitor can
cause the TPS54336A device to reach the current-limit. Excessive current draw from the input power supply can
cause the input voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output voltage slew rate solves both of these problems. Use to
calculate the value of the soft-start capacitor. For the example circuit, the soft-start time is not too critical
because the output capacitor value is 2 × 47 μF which does not require much current to charge to 5 V. The
example circuit has the soft-start time set to an arbitrary value of 3.5 ms which requires a 10-nF capacitor. For
the TPS54336A device, the calculated values are as follows:
ISS = 2.3 µA

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The devices are designed to operate from an input supply ranging from 4.5 V to 28 V. The input supply should
be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the converter an additional bulk
capacitance typically 100 µF may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The VIN pin should be bypassed to ground with a low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Care should be taken to
minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connection, the VIN pin, and the GND pin of the IC. The
typical recommended bypass capacitance is 10-μF ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric and the optimum
placement is closest to the VIN and GND pins of the device. See Figure 55 for a PCB layout example. The GND
pin should be tied to the PCB ground plane at the pin of the IC. To facilitate close placement of the input bypass
capacitors, the PH pin should be routed to a small copper area directly adjacent to the pin. Use vias to route the
PH signal to the bottom side or an inner layer. If necessary, allow the top-side copper area to extend slightly
under the body of the closest input bypass capacitor. Make the copper trace on the bottom or internal layer short
and wide as practical to reduce EMI issues. Connect the trace with vias back to the top side to connect with the
output inductor as shown after the GND pin. In the same way use a bottom or internal layer trace to route the PH
signal across the VIN pin to connect to the boot capacitor as shown. Make the circulating loop from the PH pin to
the output inductor and output capacitors and then back to GND as tight as possible while preserving adequate
etch width to reduce conduction losses in the copper . For operation at a full rated load, the ground area near the
IC must provide adequate heat dissipating area. Connect the exposed thermal pad to the bottom or internal layer
ground plane using vias as shown. Additional vias may be used adjacent to the IC to tie top-side copper to the
internal or bottom layer copper. The additional external components can be placed approximately as shown. Use
a separate ground trace to connect the feedback, compensation, UVLO, and RT (SS for TPS54336A) returns.
Connect this ground trace to the main power ground at a single point to minimize circulating currents. Obtaining
acceptable performance with alternate layout schemes is possible; however this layout has been shown to
produce good results and is intended as a guideline.
