•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The TPS55340-EP is a monolithic, non-synchronous
switching regulator with integrated 5-A, 40-V power
switch. It can be configured in several standard
switching-regulator topologies, including boost, SEPIC
and isolated flyback. The device has a wide input
voltage range to support applications with input
voltage from multi-cell batteries or regulated 3.3-, 5-,
12-, and 24-V power rails.
2 Applications
•
•
•
•
•
The TPS55340-EP regulates the output voltage with
current mode pulse width modulation (PWM) control,
and has an internal oscillator. The switching frequency
of PWM is set by either an external resistor or by
synchronizing to an external clock signal. The user
can program the switching frequency from
100 kHz to 1.2 MHz.
The device features a programmable soft-start
function to limit inrush current during start-up and
has other built-in protection features including cycleby-cycle over current limit and thermal shutdown.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS55340-EP integrates a 5-A, 40-V low-side N-channel MOSFET for boost converter output up to 38 V.
The TPS55340-EP regulates the output with current mode PWM control. The PWM control circuitry turns on
the switch at the beginning of each oscillator clock cycle. The input voltage is applied across the inductor and
stores the energy as inductor current ramps up. During this portion of the switching cycle, the output capacitor
provides the load current. When the inductor current reaches a threshold level set by the error amplifier output,
the power switch turns off and the external Schottky diode is forward biased to allow the inductor current to
flow to the output. The inductor transfers stored energy to replenish the output capacitor and supply the load
current. This operation repeats every switching cycle. The duty cycle of the converter is determined by the PWM
control comparator which compares the error amplifier output and the current signal. The oscillator frequency is
programmed by the external resistor or synchronized to an external clock signal.
A ramp signal from the oscillator is added to the inductor current ramp to provide slope compensation. Slope
compensation is necessary to avoid subharmonic oscillation that is intrinsic to peak current mode control at duty
cycles higher than 50%. If the inductor value is too small, the internal slope compensation may not be adequate
to maintain stability.
The PWM control feedback loop regulates the FB pin to a reference voltage through a transconductance error
amplifier. The output of the error amplifier is connected to the COMP pin. An external RC compensation network
connected to the COMP pin is chosen for feedback loop stability and optimum transient response.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Switching Frequency
The switching frequency is set by a resistor (RFREQ) connected to the FREQ pin of the TPS55340-EP. The
relationship between the timing resistance RFREQ and frequency is shown in Figure 7-5. Do not leave this pin
open. A resistor must always be connected from the FREQ pin to ground for proper operation. Calculate the
resistor value required for a desired frequency using Equation 1.
RFREQ(kΩ) = 57500 × ƒsw(kHz)–1.03
(1)
For the given resistor value, calculate the corresponding frequency with Equation 2.
ƒsw(kHz) = 41600 × RFREQ(kΩ)–0.97
(2)
The TPS55340-EP switching frequency can be synchronized to an external clock signal that is applied to the
SYNC pin. The required logic levels of the external clock are shown in the specification table. The recommended
duty cycle of the clock is in the range of 10% to 90%. A resistor must be connected from the FREQ pin to ground
when the converter is synchronized to the external clock and the external clock frequency must be within ±20%
of the corresponding frequency set by the resistor. For example, if the frequency programmed by the FREQ pin
resistor is 600 kHz, the external clock signal should be in the range of 480 to 720 kHz.
8.3.2 Voltage Reference and Setting Output Voltage
An internal voltage reference provides a precise 1.229-V voltage reference at the error amplifier non-inverting
input. To set the output voltage, select the FB pin resistor RSH and RSL according to Equation 3.

VOUT = 1.229 V ´ ç SH + 1÷
è R SL

(3)
8.3.3 Soft Start
The TPS55340-EP has a built-in soft-start circuit which significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output
voltage overshoot. When the IC is enabled, an internal bias current source (6 µA typical) charges a capacitor
(CSS) on the SS pin. The voltage at the capacitor clamps the output of the internal error amplifier that determines
the peak current and duty cycle of PWM controller. Limiting the peak switch current during start-up with a slow
ramp on the SS pin reduces in-rush current and output voltage overshoot. After the capacitor reaches 1.8 V, the
soft-start cycle is completed and the soft-start voltage no longer clamps the error amplifier output. When the EN
is pulled low for at least 1 ms, the IC enters the shutdown mode and the SS capacitor is discharged through a
5-kΩ resistor to prepare for the next soft-start sequence.
8.3.4 Slope Compensation
The TPS55340-EP has internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillations. The sensed current
slope of boost converter can be expressed as Equation 4.

Sn = IN ´ RSENSE

Calculate the slope compensation dv/dt using Equation 5.

In a converter with current mode control, in addition to the output voltage feedback loop, take into account the
inner current loop including the inductor current sampling effect and slope compensation on the small signal
response, which can be modeled as seen in Equation 6.
