3 Description
The TPS65320-Q1 device is a combination of a 40-V,
3.2-A, DC-DC step-down converter and a low-dropout
(LDO) regulator. The DC-DC step-down converter,
referred to as the buck regulator, has an integrated
high-side MOSFET. The LDO regulator also has an
integrated MOSFET and a low-input supply current of
28-μA (typical) in a no-load condition. Furthermore,
the LDO regulator has an active-low, push-pull reset
output pin. To reduce heat, the input supply of the
LDO regulator can auto-source from the input voltage
to the output of the buck regulator. The low-voltage
tracking feature can eliminate the need to use a boost
converter during cold-crank conditions.
The buck regulator has a switching frequency range
from 100 kHz to 2.5 MHz that provides a flexible
design to fix system requirements. The external loop
compensation allows for optimization of the converter
response for the appropriate operating conditions. A
low-ripple pulse-skip mode reduces the no-load input
supply current to less than 140 μA.
The device has built-in protection features such as
soft start, current limit, thermal sensing, and
shutdown because of excessive power dissipation.
Furthermore, the device has an internal undervoltagelockout (UVLO) function that turns off the device at a
too-low supply voltage.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator is a 40-V, 3.2-A, step-down (buck) converter with a 280-mA LDO linear
regulator. Both regulators have low quiescent consumption during a light loads to prolong the battery life.
The buck converter improves performance during line and load transients by implementing a constant-frequency
and current-mode control that reduces output capacitance, simplifying external frequency-compensation design.
The wide switching frequency of 100 kHz to 2500 kHz allows for efficiency and size optimization when selecting
the output-filter components. The switching frequency can be adjusted by using a resistor to ground on the
RT/CLK pin. The buck converter has an internal phase-locked loop (PLL) on the RT/CLK pin that synchronizes
the power switch turnon to the falling edge of an external system clock.
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator reduces the external component count by integrating the boot recharge diode.
A capacitor between the BOOT and SW pins supplies the bias voltage for the integrated high-side MOSFET. The
output voltage can be stepped down to as low as the 0.8-V reference. The soft-start feature minimizes inrush
currents and provides power-supply sequencing during power up. Connect a small-value capacitor to the SS pin
to adjust the soft-start time. Couple a resistor divider to the pin for critical power-supply sequencing
requirements.
The LDO regulator only consumes about 40-µA current in light loads. The LDO regulator can also track the
battery when battery voltage is low (in a cold-crank condition). The input of the LDO regulator has a unique autosource feature which sources the input supply from either the buck output or the battery. If both the buck and
LDO regulators are enabled, the buck regulator switches the input of the LDO regulator to the output of the buck
to reduce heat. With the buck disabled or the buck output voltage out of regulation (VFB1 less than 91% of Vref),
the buck regulator switches the LDO input automatically to the input voltage.
The LDO regulator of the TPS65320-Q1 device has a power-good comparator (nRST) that asserts when the
regulated output voltage is less than 91% of the nominal output voltage.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Buck Regulator
7.3.1.1 Fixed-Frequency PWM Control
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator uses an adjustable, fixed-frequency peak-current mode control. An internal
voltage reference compares the output voltage through external resistors on the FB1 pin to an error amplifier
which drives the COMP pin. An internal oscillator initiates the turnon of the high-side power switch. The buck
regulator compares the error amplifier output to the high-side power-switch current. When the power-switch
current reaches the level set by the COMP voltage, the power switch turns off. The COMP pin voltage increases
and decreases as the output current increases and decreases. The buck regulator implements a current limit by
clamping the COMP pin voltage to a maximum level.
7.3.1.2 Slope Compensation Output
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator adds a compensating ramp to the switch current signal. This slope
compensation prevents sub-harmonic oscillations. The available peak-inductor current remains constant over the
full duty-cycle range.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.1.3 Pulse-Skip Eco-mode™ Control Scheme
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator operates in a pulse-skip mode at light load currents to improve efficiency by
reducing switching and gate-drive losses. The design of the TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator is such that if the
output voltage is within regulation and the peak switch current at the end of any switching cycle is below the
pulse-skipping-current threshold, the buck regulator enters pulse-skip mode. This current threshold is the current
level corresponding to a nominal COMP voltage, or 720 mV. The current at which entry to the pulse-skip mode
occurs depends on switching frequency, inductor selection, output-capacitor selection, and compensation
network.
In pulse-skip mode, the buck regulator clamps the COMP pin voltage at 720 mV, inhibiting the high-side
MOSFET. Further decreases in load current or in output voltage cannot drive the COMP pin below this clampvoltage level. Because the buck regulator is not switching, the output voltage begins to decay. As the voltagecontrol loop compensates for the falling output voltage, the COMP pin voltage begins to rise. At this time, the
high-side MOSFET turns on and a switching pulse initiates on the next switching cycle. The peak current is set
by the COMP pin voltage. The output current recharges the output capacitor to the nominal voltage, then the
peak switch current begins to decrease, and eventually falls below the pulse-skip-mode threshold, at which time
the buck regulator enters Eco-mode again.
For pulse-skip-mode operation, the TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator senses the peak current, not the average or
load current. Therefore, the load current where the buck regulator enters pulse-skip mode is dependent on the
output inductor value. When the load current is low and the output voltage is within regulation, the buck regulator
enters a sleep mode and draws only 140-µA input quiescent current. The internal PLL remains operating when
the buck regulator is in sleep mode.
7.3.1.4 Dropout Operation and Bootstrap Voltage (BOOT)
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator has an integrated boot regulator and requires a small ceramic capacitor
between the BOOT and SW pins to provide the gate-drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The BOOT
capacitor recharges when the high-side MOSFET is off and the low-side diode conducts. The value of this
ceramic capacitor should be 0.1 µF. TI recommends a ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric
and a voltage rating of 10 V or higher because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage.
To improve drop out, the high-side MOSFET of the TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator remains on for 7 consecutive
switching cycles, and is forced off during the 8th switching cycle to allow the low-side diode to conduct and
refresh the charge on the BOOT capacitor. Because the current supplied by the BOOT capacitor is low, the highside of the MOSFET can remain on longer before it is required to refresh the BOOT capacitor.
Voltage drops across the power MOSFET, inductor resistance, low-side diode, and printed circuit board
resistance are the main influence on the effective duty cycle during dropout of the regulator. During operating
conditions in which the input voltage drops and the regulator is operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM),
the high-side MOSFET can remain on for 100% of the duty cycle to maintain output regulation until the BOOT to
SW voltage falls below 2.1 V.
Careful attention must be given to maximum duty cycle applications that experience extended time periods with
light loads or no load. When the voltage across the BOOT capacitor falls below the 2.1-V UVLO threshold, the
high-side MOSFET turns off, however not-enough inductor current exists to pull the SW pin down to recharge the
BOOT capacitor. The high-side MOSFET of the regulator stops switching because the voltage across the BOOT
capacitor is less than 2.1 V. The output capacitor then decays until the difference in the input voltage and output
voltage is greater than 2.1 V, which exceeds the BOOT UVLO threshold, and the buck regulator begins switching
again until reaching the desired output voltage. This operating condition persists until the input voltage, the load
current, or both increase.
7.3.1.5 Error Amplifier
The buck converter of the TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator has a transconductance amplifier acting as the error
amplifier. The error amplifier compares the FB1 voltage to the lower of the internal soft-start (SS) voltage or the
internal 0.8-V voltage reference. The transconductance (gm) of the error amplifier is 310 µS during normal
operation. During the soft-start operation, the transconductance is a fraction of the normal operating gm. When
the voltage of the voltage on the FB1 pin is below 0.8 V and the buck regulator is regulating using an internal SS
voltage, the gm is 70 µS. For frequency compensation, external compensation components (capacitor with series
resistor and an optional parallel capacitor) must be connected between the COMP pin and the GND pin.

The voltage reference system produces a precise ±2% voltage reference over temperature by scaling the output
of a temperature-stable bandgap circuit.
7.3.1.7 Adjusting the Output Voltage
A resistor divider from the output node to the FB1 pin sets the output voltage. Using a divider resistor with a
tolerance of 1% or better is recommended. Begin with a value of 10 kΩ for the R2 resistor and use Equation 1 to
calculate the value of R1. To improve efficiency at light loads, consider using larger-value resistors. If the values
are too high, the regulator is more susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the FB1 input current are
noticeable.

7.3.1.8 Soft-Start and Tracking Pin (SS/TR)
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator effectively uses the lower voltage of the internal voltage reference or the
SS/TR pin voltage as the reference voltage of the power supply and regulates the output accordingly. A capacitor
on the SS/TR pin to ground implements a soft-start time. The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator has an internal
pullup-current source of 2 µA that charges the external soft-start capacitor. Use Equation 2 to calculate to
calculate the value of the soft-start capacitor, CSS, which sets the soft-start time, tSS (10% to 90%). The soft-start
capacitor should remain lower than 0.47 μF and greater than 1 nF.

At power up with the EN1 pin or after recovering from a UVLO event or from a thermal shutdown event, the
TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator does not begin switching until the soft-start pin, SS/TR, discharges to less than 40
mV to ensure a proper power up.
7.3.1.9 Overload Recovery Circuit
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator has an overload recovery (OLR) circuit. The OLR circuit soft-starts the output
from the overload voltage to the nominal regulation voltage on removal of the fault condition. The OLR circuit
discharges the SS/TR pin to a voltage slightly greater than the FB1 pin voltage using an internal pulldown of 382
µA when the error amplifier changes to a high voltage from a fault condition. On removal of the fault condition,
the output soft-starts from the fault voltage to the nominal output voltage.
7.3.1.10 Constant Switching Frequency and Timing Resistor (RT/CLK Pin)
The switching frequency of the TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator is adjustable over a wide range from approximately
100 kHz to 2500 kHz by placing a resistor on the RT/CLK pin. The RT/CLK pin voltage is typically 0.5 V and
must have a resistor to ground to set the switching frequency. To determine the timing resistance for a given
switching frequency, use Equation 3 or the curves in Figure 2. To reduce the solution size, the user typically sets
the switching frequency as high as possible, but consider tradeoffs of the supply efficiency, maximum input
voltage, and minimum controllable on-time. The minimum controllable on-time is typically 100 ns and limits the
maximum operating input voltage. The frequency-shift circuit also limits the maximum switching frequency. The
following sections discuss the maximum switching frequency in detail.

7.3.1.11 Overcurrent Protection and Frequency Shift
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator implements current mode control, which uses the COMP pin voltage to turn off
the high-side MOSFET on a cycle-by-cycle basis. During each cycle, the switch current and COMP pin voltage
are compared. When the peak switch current intersects the COMP voltage, the high-side switch turns off. During
overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low, the error amplifier responds by driving the COMP pin high,
increasing the switch current. Internal clamping of the error-amplifier output functions as a switch-current limit.
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator implements a frequency shift. The switching frequency is divided by 8, 4, 2,
and 1 as the voltage ramps from 0 to 0.8 V on the FB1 pin. During short-circuit events (particularly with highinput-voltage applications), the control loop has a finite minimum controllable on-time, and the output has a low
voltage. During the switch on-time, the inductor current ramps to the peak current limit because of the high input
voltage and minimum on-time. During the switch off-time, the inductor would normally not have enough off time
and output voltage for the inductor to ramp down by the ramp up amount. The frequency shift effectively
increases the off-time, allowing the current to ramp down.
7.3.1.12 Selecting the Switching Frequency
The switching frequency that is selected should be the lower value of the two equations, Equation 4 and
Equation 5. Use Equation 4 to calculate the maximum switching frequency limitation set by the minimum
controllable on-time. Setting the switching frequency above this value causes the regulator to skip switching
pulses. The buck regulator maintains regulation, but pulse-skipping leads to high inductor current and a
significant increase in output ripple voltage.
Use Equation 5 to calculate the maximum switching frequency limit set by the frequency-shift protection. For
adequate output short-circuit protection at high input voltages, set the switching frequency to a value less than
the ƒS(maxshift) frequency. In Equation 5, to calculate the maximum switching frequency one must take into
account that the output voltage decreases from the nominal voltage to 0 volts, and the ƒdiv integer increases from
1 to 8 corresponding to the frequency shift.
In Figure 8, the solid line illustrates a typical safe operating area regarding frequency shift and assumes the
output voltage is zero volts, the resistance of the inductor is 0.130 Ω, the FET on-resistance is 0.127 Ω, and the
diode voltage drop is 0.5 V. The dashed line is the maximum switching frequency to avoid pulse skipping.

7.3.1.13 How to Interface to RT/CLK Pin
The RT/CLK pin synchronizes the buck regulator to an external system clock. To implement the synchronization
feature, connect a square wave to the RT/CLK pin through the circuit network shown in Figure 9. The squarewave amplitude must transition lower than 0.5 V and higher than 2.2 V on the RT/CLK pin and have an on-time
greater than 40 ns and an off-time greater than 40 ns. The synchronization frequency range is 300 kHz to 2200
kHz. The rising edge of SW is synchronizes with the falling edge of RT/CLK pin signal. Design the external
synchronization circuit in such a way that the buck regulator has the default frequency-set resistor connected
from the RT/CLK pin to ground should the synchronization signal turn off. Using a frequency-set resistor
connected as shown in Figure 9 through a 50-Ω resistor to ground is recommended. The resistor should set the
switching frequency close to the external CLK frequency. TI also recommends AC-coupling the synchronization
signal through a 10-pF ceramic capacitor to the RT/CLK pin and a 4-kΩ series resistor. The series resistor
reduces SW jitter in heavy-load applications when synchronizing to an external clock, and in applications which
transition from synchronizing to RT mode. The first time CLK is pulled above the CLK threshold, the buck
regulator switches from the RT resistor frequency to PLL mode. Along with the resulting removal of the internal
0.5-V voltage source, the CLK pin becomes high-impedance as the PLL begins to lock onto the external signal.
Because regulator has a PLL, the switching frequency can be higher or lower than the frequency set with the
external resistor. The buck regulator transitions from the resistor mode to the PLL mode and then increases or
decreases the switching frequency until the PLL locks onto the CLK frequency within 100 ms.
When the buck regulator transitions from the PLL mode to the resistor mode, the switching frequency slows
down from the CLK frequency to 150 kHz, then reapplies the 0.5-V voltage. the resistor then sets the switching
frequency. The switching-frequency divisor changes to 8, 4, 2, and 1 as the voltage ramps from 0 to 0.8 V on the
FB1 pin. The buck regulator implements a digital frequency shift to enable synchronizing to an external clock
during normal startup and fault conditions.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.1.14 Overvoltage Transient Protection
The TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator incorporates an overvoltage transient-protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize
voltage overshoot when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients on power-supply
designs with low-value output capacitance. For example, with the power-supply output overloaded, the error
amplifier compares the actual output voltage to the internal reference voltage. If the FB1 pin voltage is lower than
the internal reference voltage for a considerable time, the output of the error amplifier responds by clamping the
error amplifier output to a high voltage, thus requesting the maximum output current. On removal of the condition,
the regulator output rises and the error-amplifier output transitions to the steady-state duty cycle. In some
applications, the power-supply output voltage can respond faster than the error-amplifier output can respond
which actuality leads to the possibility of an output overshoot. The OVTP feature minimizes the output overshoot
when using a low-value output capacitor by implementing a circuit to compare the FB1 pin voltage to the OVTP
threshold (which is 109% of the internal voltage reference). The FB1 pin voltage going higher than the OVTP
threshold disables the high-side MOSFET, preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output
overshoot. The FB1 voltage dropping lower than the OVTP threshold allows the high-side MOSFET to turn on at
the next clock cycle.
7.3.1.15 Thermal Shutdown
The buck regulator implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect the regulator if the junction temperature
exceeds 155°C (typical). The thermal shutdown forces the buck regulator to stop switching when the junction
temperature exceeds the thermal trip threshold. When the junction temperature decreases below 145°C (typical),
the buck regulator reinitiates the power-up sequence.
7.3.1.16 Small-Signal Model for Loop Response
Figure 10 shows an equivalent model for the TPS65320-Q1 control loop which can be modeled in a circuitsimulation program to check frequency response and dynamic load response. The error amplifier is a
transconductance amplifier with a gmea of μA/V. One can model the error amplifier using an ideal voltagecontrolled current source. Resistor Ro and capacitor Co model the open-loop gain and frequency response of the
amplifier. The 1-mV AC voltage source between nodes a and b effectively breaks the control loop for the
frequency-response measurements. Plotting c versus a shows the small signal response of the frequency
compensation. Plotting a versus b shows the small signal response of the overall loop. Check the dynamic loop
response by replacing RL with a current source that has the appropriate load-step amplitude and step rate in a
time-domain analysis. This equivalent model is only valid for continuous-conduction-mode designs.

7.3.1.17 Simple Small-Signal Model for Peak-Current Mode Control
Figure 11 shows a simple small-signal model that can be used to understand how to design the frequency
compensation. A voltage-controlled current source (duty cycle modulator) supplying current to the output
capacitor and load resistor can approximate the buck-regulator power stage. Equation 6 shows the control-tooutput transfer function, which consists of a DC gain, one dominant pole, and one ESR zero. The quotient of the
change in switch current divided by the change in COMP pin voltage (node c in Figure 10) is the power-stage
transconductance. The gmPS for the buck-regulator power stage buck regulator is 10.5 A/V. Use Equation 7 to
calculate the low-frequency gain of the power stage which is the product of the transconductance and the load
resistance.
As the load current increases and decreases, the low-frequency gain decreases and increases, respectively. This
variation with the load may seem problematic at first, but the dominant pole moves with the load current (see
Equation 8). The dashed line in the right half of Figure 11 highlights the combined effect. 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. The type of selected
output capacitor determines whether the ESR zero has a profound effect on the frequency compensation design.
Using high-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors can reduce the number of frequency-compensation
components required to stabilize the overall loop because the phase margin increases from the ESR zero at the
lower frequencies (see Equation 9).

output capacitor. For stability purposes, the target is to have a loop-gain slope that is –20 dB/decade at the
crossover frequency. Also, the crossover frequency should not exceed one-fifth of the switching frequency (120
kHz in the case of a 600-kHz switching frequency).
For dynamic purposes, the higher the bandwidth, the faster the load-transient response. A large DC gain means
high DC regulation accuracy (DC voltage changes little with load or line variations). To achieve this loop gain, set
the compensation components according to the shape of the control-output bode plot.
Equation 10 through Equation 20 serve as a reference to calculate the compensation components. Ro and C1
form the dominant pole (P1). A resistor (R3) and a capacitor (C1) in series to ground work as zero (Z1). In
addition, for an optional pole, add a lower-value capacitor (C2) in parallel with R3 to. This capacitor can be used
to filter noise at switching frequency, and it is also needed if the output capacitor has high ESR.

7.3.2 LDO Regulator
For the TPS65320-Q1 device, the design of the linear regulator is for low-power consumption and a quiescent
current of about 40 µA in light-load applications.
The LDO regulator requires both supplies from VIN and VIN_LDO to function. At all times the voltage level of VIN
must be higher or equal to the voltage level of VIN_LIN for the the LDO regulator to function properly. The
current capability of the LDO regulator is 280 mA under the full VIN_LDO input range, while VIN ≥ 4 V. When
VIN becomes less than 4 V, the current capability of the LDO regulator decreases.
7.3.2.1 Charge-Pump Operation
The LDO regulator has an internal charge pump which turns on or off depending on the input voltage. The
charge-pump switching circuitry does not cause conducted emissions to exceed required thresholds on the input
voltage line. The charge-pump switching thresholds are hysteretic. Figure 14 shows the typical switching
thresholds for the charge pump.

7.3.2.2 Low-Voltage Tracking
At low input voltages, the regulator drops out of regulation, and the output voltage tracks input minus a dropout
voltage (VDROPOUT). This feature allows for a smaller input capacitor and can possibly eliminate the requirement
for a boost convertor during cold-crank conditions.
7.3.2.3 Power-Good Output, nRST
The nRST pin is a push-pull output formed by a push-pull stage between LDO_OUT and GND pins. The poweron-reset output asserts low until the output voltage on LDO_OUT exceeds the setting thresholds (91%) and the
deglitch timer has expired. Additionally, whenever the EN2 pin is low or open, the nRST pin immediately asserts
low regardless of the output voltage. If a thermal shutdown occurs because of excessive thermal conditions, this
pin also asserts low. When the nRST is released (not asserted low), it can only be pulled-up to the specified VOH
voltage when the LDO_OUT voltage is equal to or higher than 3.3 V.
7.3.3 Enable and Undervoltage Lockout
The TPS65320-Q1 device enable pins (EN1 and EN2) are high-voltage-tolerant input pins with an internal
pulldown circuit. A high input activates the buck regulator and turns the regulators ON.
The TPS65320-Q1 device has an internal UVLO circuit to shut down the output if the input voltage falls below an
internally fixed UVLO threshold level. This UVLO circuit ensures that both regulators are not latched into an
unknown state during low-input-voltage conditions. The regulators power up when the input voltage exceeds the
voltage level.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Modes of Operation
The buck regulator has two hardware enable pins, and one can turn off either the buck or the LDO by pulling the
enable pin low, as listed in Table 2. One unique feature of the TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator is the input auto
source of the LDO. With both the buck and the LDO enabled, the LDO receives input from the output of the buck
through the VIN_LDO pin. In this mode, the buck output voltage must be higher than the LDO output voltage.
With the buck disabled and the LDO still enabled, the input of the LDO changes automatically from VIN_LDO to
VIN which is useful for standby operations which need a very low standby current, such as automotive
infotainment, telematics, and other operations. The LDO changes the input when the buck output voltage is out
of regulation (V(FB1) is less than 91% of Vref1).

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 TPS65320-Q1 buck regulator operates with a supply voltage VI of 3.6 V to 40 V. The TPS65320-Q1 LDO
regulator operates with a supply voltage VIN_LDO of 3 V to 40 V. For reducing power dissipation, TI strongly
recommends to use the output voltage of the buck regulator as the input supply for the LDO regulator. To use
the output voltage of the buck regulator this way, the selected buck-regulator output voltage must be higher than
the selected LDO-regulator output voltage.
For optimized switching performance (such as low jitter) in automotive applications with input voltages that have
wide ranges, TI recommends to operate the device at higher frequencies, such as 2 MHz, which also helps
achieve AM-band compliance requirements (that extends until 1.7 MHz).

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Switching Frequency Selection for the Buck Regulator
The first step is to decide on a switching frequency for the regulator. Typically, the user selects the highest
switching frequency possible because this produces the smallest solution size. The high switching frequency
allows for lower-valued inductors and smaller output capacitors compared to a power supply that switches at a
lower frequency. The selectable switching frequency is limited by the minimum on-time of the internal power
switch, the input voltage, the output voltage, and the frequency-shift limitation.
Consider minimum on-time and frequency-shift protection as calculated with Equation 4 and Equation 5. To find
the maximum switching frequency for the regulator, select the lower value of the two results. Switching
frequencies higher than these values result in pulse skipping or the lack of overcurrent protection during a short
circuit. The typical minimum on-time, tON-min, is 100 ns for the TPS65320-Q1 device. For this example, where the
output voltage is 5 V and the maximum input voltage is 16 V, use a switching frequency of 2200 kHz. Use
Equation 3 to calculate the timing resistance for a given switching frequency. The R4 resistor sets the switching
frequency. A 2.2-MHz switching frequency requires a 47-kΩ resistor (see R4 in Figure 16).
8.2.1.2.2 Output Inductor Selection for the Buck Regulator
Use Equation 21 to calculate the minimum value of the output inductor. The output capacitor filters the inductor
ripple current. Therefore, selecting high inductor-ripple currents impacts the selection of the output capacitor
because the output capacitor must have a ripple-current rating equal to or greater than the inductor ripple
current. In general, the inductor ripple value is at the discretion of the designer; however, the following guidelines
can be used to select this value. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative
to the maximum output current.
V max - VO
VO
LO min = I
´
IO ´ KIND
VI max ´ ƒS
(21)
For designs using low-ESR output capacitors such as ceramics, use a value as high as KIND = 0.3. When using
higher-ESR output capacitors, KIND = 0.2 yields better results. In a wide-input voltage regulator, selecting an
inductor ripple current on the larger side is best because it allows the inductor to still have a measurable ripple
current with the input voltage at a minimum.

For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and the minimum inductor value which is calculated as 1.73 µH. For this
design, select the nearest standard value which is 2.2 µH (see L1 in Figure 16). Use Equation 22 to calculate the
inductor ripple current (Iripple). For the output filter inductor, do not to exceed the RMS-current and saturationcurrent ratings. Use Equation 23 and Equation 24 to calculate the RMS current (IL-RMS) and the peak inductor (ILpeak).

For this design, the RMS inductor current is 3.01 A, the peak inductor current is 3.36 A, and the inductor ripple
current is 0.71 A. The selected inductor is a Coilcraft MSS1038-103NLB and has a saturation-current rating of
4.52 A and an RMS-current rating of 4.05 A. As the equation set demonstrates, lower ripple current reduces the
output ripple voltage of the buck regulator but requires a larger value of inductance. Selecting higher ripple
currents increases the output ripple voltage of the buck regulator but allows for a lower inductance value.
8.2.1.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection for the Buck Regulator
Consider three primary factors when selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor determines
the modulator pole, the output ripple voltage, and how the buck regulator responds to a large change in load
current. Select the output capacitance based on the most 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 buck 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 buck 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. Size the output capacitor 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 two clock cycles while only allowing a tolerable
amount of droop in the output voltage. Use Equation 25 to calculate the minimum output capacitance required to
supply the difference in current.

where

•
ΔIO is the change in the buck-regulator output current
ƒS is the switching frequency of the buck regulator
ΔVO is the allowable change in the buck-regulator output voltage
(25)
For this example, the specified transient load response is a 3% change in VO for a load step from 0.01 A to 0.8 A
(full load). For this example, ΔIO = 0.8 – 0.01 = 0.79 A and ΔVO = 0.03 × 5 = 0.15 V. Using these numbers
results in a minimum capacitance of 4.7 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.
Aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors have higher ESR that must be take into consideration.
The catch diode of the regulator cannot sink current. Therefore any stored energy in the inductor produces an
output-voltage overshoot when the load current rapidly decreases. Also, size the output capacitor to absorb the
energy stored in the inductor when transitioning from a high load current to a lower load current. The excess
energy that is stored in the output capacitor increases the voltage on the capacitor. Size the capacitor to maintain
the desired output voltage during these transient periods.

For this example, the worst-case load step is from 3 A to 0.01 A. The output voltage increases during this load
transition, and the stated maximum in the specification is 3% of the output voltage (see the Electrical
Characteristics table). This makes Vf = 1.03 × 5 = 5.15. Vi is the initial capacitor voltage, which is the nominal
output voltage of 5 V. Using these numbers in Equation 26 yields a minimum capacitance of 13 µF.

The most stringent criterion for the output capacitor is 13 µF of capacitance to keep the output voltage in
regulation during a load transient.
Factor in additional capacitance deratings for aging, temperature, and DC bias which increase this minimum
value. For this example, two 22-µF, 10-V ceramic capacitors with 3 mΩ of ESR are used (see C4 and C5 in
Figure 16). Capacitors generally have limits to the amount of ripple current they can handle without failing or
producing excess heat. Specify an output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current. Some capacitor
data sheets specify the root-mean-square (RMS) value of the maximum ripple current.
Use Equation 29 to calculate the RMS ripple current that the output capacitor must support. For this application,
Equation 29 yields 205 mA.

8.2.1.2.4 Catch Diode Selection for the Buck Regulator
The TPS65320-Q1 device requires an external catch diode between the SW pin and GND (see D1 in Figure 16).
The selected diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than VImax. The peak current rating of
the diode must be greater than the maximum inductor current. The diode should also have a low forward voltage.
Schottky diodes are typically a good choice for the catch diode because of low forward voltage of these diodes.
The lower the forward voltage of the diode, the higher the efficiency of the regulator.
Typically, the higher the voltage and current ratings the diode has, the higher the forward voltage is. Although the
design example has an input voltage up to 16 V, select a diode with a minimum of 40-V reverse voltage to allow
input voltage transients up to the rated voltage of the TPS65320-Q1 device.

For the example design, the selection of a Schottky diode is B540C-13-F based on the lower forward voltage of
this diode. This diode is also available in a larger package size, which has good thermal characteristics over
small buck regulators. The typical forward voltage of the B540C-13-F is 0.55 V.
Also, select a diode with an appropriate power rating. The diode conducts the output current during the off-time
of the internal power switch. The off-time of the internal switch is a function of the maximum input voltage, the
output voltage, and the switching frequency. The output current during the off-time, multiplied by the forward
voltage of the diode, equals the conduction losses of the diode. At higher switching frequencies, consider the AC
losses of the diode. The AC losses of the diode are because the charging and discharging of the junction
capacitance and reverse recovery.
8.2.1.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection for the Buck Regulator
The TPS65320-Q1 device requires a high-quality ceramic input decoupling capacitor (type X5R or X7R) of at
least 3 µF of effective capacitance, and in some applications a bulk capacitance. The effective capacitance
includes any DC bias effects. The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be greater than the maximum input
voltage. The capacitor must also have a ripple-current rating greater than the maximum input-current ripple of the
TPS65320-Q1 device. Use Equation 30 to calculate the input ripple current (ICI(RMS)).
The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to the
capacitor. Minimize the capacitance variations because of temperature by selecting a dielectric material that is
stable over temperature. Designers usually select X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics for power regulator
capacitors because these capacitors have a high capacitance-to-volume ratio and are fairly stable over
temperature. Also, select the output capacitor with the DC bias taken into consideration. The capacitance value
of a capacitor decreases as the DC bias across a capacitor increases.
This design requires a ceramic capacitor with at least a 40-V voltage rating to support the maximum input
voltage. Common standard ceramic capacitor voltage ratings include 4 V, 6.3 V, 10 V, 16 V, 25 V, 50 V, or 100
V. For this design example. The selection for this example is a 4.7-µF, 50-V capacitor (see C8 in Figure 16).

8.2.1.2.6 Soft-Start Capacitor Selection for the Buck Regulator
The soft-start capacitor determines the minimum amount of time required for the output voltage to reach the
nominal programmed value during power up which is useful if a load requires a controlled-voltage slew rate. This
feature is also useful if the output capacitance is large and requires large amounts of current to charge the
capacitor quickly to the output voltage level. The large currents required to charge the capacitor may make the
TPS65320-Q1 device reach the current limit, or excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause
the input voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output voltage-slew rate solves both of these problems.

The soft-start time must be long enough to allow the regulator to charge the output capacitor up to the output
voltage without drawing excessive current. Use Equation 32 to calculate the minimum soft-start time, tss, required
to charge the output capacitor, CO, from 10% to 90% of the output voltage, VO, with an average soft-start current
of Iss(avg).
C ´ VO ´ 0.8

In the example, to charge the effective output capacitance of 44 µF up to 5 V while only allowing the average
output current to be 3 A requires a 0.088-ms soft-start time.
When the soft-start time is known, use Equation 2 to calculate the soft-start capacitor. For the example circuit,
the soft-start time is not too critical because the output-capacitor value is 2 × 22 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 1 ms, which
requires a 3.125-nF soft-start capacitor. This design uses the next-larger standard value of 3.3 nF.
8.2.1.2.7 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection for the Buck Regulator
Connect a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor between the BOOT and SW pins for proper operation. TI recommends using
a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better-grade dielectric. The capacitor should have a 10-V or higher voltage
rating.
8.2.1.2.8 Output Voltage and Feedback Resistor Selection for the Buck Regulator
The voltage divider of R1 and R2 sets the output voltage. For the design example, the selected value of R2 is 10
kΩ, and the calculated value of R1 is 53.6 kΩ. Because of current leakage of the FB1 pin, the current flowing
through the feedback network should be greater than 1 μA to maintain the output-voltage accuracy. Selecting
higher resistor values decreases the quiescent current and improves efficiency at low output currents, but can
introduce noise immunity problems.
8.2.1.2.9 Frequency Compensation Selection for the Buck Regulator
Several possible methods exist to design closed loop compensation for DC-DC converters. The method
presented here is easy to calculate and ignores the effects of the slope compensation that is internal to the buck
regulator. Ignoring the slope compensation usually causes the actual crossover frequency to be lower than the
crossover frequency used in the calculations. This method assumes the crossover frequency is between the
modulator pole and the ESR zero, and that the ESR zero is at least 10 times greater than the modulator pole.
To begin, use Equation 33 to calculate the modulator pole, ƒP_mod, and Equation 34 to calculate the ESR zero,
ƒz_mod. For COUT, use a derated value of 40 μF.

Use Equation 35 and Equation 36 to calculate an estimate starting point for the crossover frequency, ƒCO, to
design the compensation.

For the example design, ƒP_mod is 2.39 kHz and ƒZ_mod is 1.33 MHz. Equation 35 is the geometric mean of the
modulator pole and the ESR zero and Equation 36 is the mean of the modulator pole and the switching
frequency. Equation 35 yields 56.4 kHz and Equation 36 results 51.3 kHz. Use the lower value of Equation 35 or
Equation 36 for an initial crossover frequency.
For this example, the target value of ƒCO is 51.3 kHz. Next, calculate the compensation components. Use a
resistor in series with a capacitor to create a compensating zero. A capacitor in parallel to these two components
forms the compensating pole.

The total loop gain, which consists of the product of the modulator gain, the feedback voltage-divider gain, and
the error amplifier gain at ƒCO equal to 1. Use Equation 37 to calculate the compensation resistor, R3 (see the

Assume the power-stage transconductance, gmps, is 10.5 S. The output voltage (VO), reference voltage (Vref),
and amplifier transconductance, (gmea) are 5 V, 0.8 V, and 310 μS, respectively. The calculated value for R3 is
24.74 kΩ. For this design, use a value of 27 kΩ for R3. Use Equation 38 to set the compensation zero to the
modulator pole frequency.

Equation 36 yields 2468 pF for compensating capacitor C1 (see the schematic in Figure 16). For this design,
select a value of 2700 pF for C1.
To implement a compensation pole as needed, use an additional capacitor, C2, in parallel with the series
combination of R3 and C1. Use Equation 39 and Equation 40 to calculate the value of C2 and select the larger
resulting value to set the compensation pole. Type 2B compensation does not use C2 because it would demand
a low ESR of the output capacitor.

8.2.1.2.10 LDO Regulator
Depending on the end application, use different values of external components can be used. To program the
output voltage, carefully select the feedback resistors, R5 and R6 (see the schematic in Figure 16). Using smaller
resistors results in higher current consumption, whereas using very large resistors impacts the sensitivity of the
regulator. Therefore selecting feedback resistors such that the sum of R5 and R6 is between 20 kΩ and 200 kΩ
is recommended.
If the desired regulated output voltage is 3.3 V on selecting R6, the value of R5 can be calculated. With Vref = 0.8
V (typical), VO = 3.3 V, and selecting R6 = 20 kΩ, the calculated value of R5 is 62 kΩ.
Depending on application requirements, a larger output capacitor for the LDO regulator may be required (see C7
in Figure 16) to prevent the output from temporarily dropping down during fast load steps. TI recommends a lowESR ceramic capacitor with dielectric of type X5R or X7R. Additionally, a bypass capacitor can be connected at
the output to decouple high-frequency noise based on the requirements of the end application.

8.2.1.2.11 Power Dissipation
8.2.1.2.11.1 Power Dissipation Losses of the Buck Regulator
Use the following equations to calculate the power dissipation losses for the buck regulator. These losses are
applicable for continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) operation.
1. Conduction loss:
PCON = IO2 × rDS(on) × (VO / VI)
where
•
•
•
IO is the buck regulator output current
VO is the buck regulator output voltage
VI is the input voltage
(41)
2. Switching loss:
PSW = ½ × VI × IO × (tr + tf) × fS
where
•
•
•
tr is the FET switching rise time (tr maximum = 20 ns)
tf is the FET switching fall time (tf maximum = 20 ns)
ƒS is the switching frequency of the buck regulator
(42)
3. Gate drive loss:
PGate = Vdrive × Qg × ƒsw
where
•
•
Vdrive is the FET gate-drive voltage (typically Vdrive = 6 V)
Qg = 1 × 10–9 (nC, typical)
(43)
8.2.1.2.12 Power Dissipation Losses of the LDO Regulator
PLDO = (VVIN_LDO – V(LDO_OUT)) × I(LDO_OUT)
(44)
8.2.1.2.13 Total Device Power Dissipation Losses and Junction Temperature
1. Supply loss:
PIC = VI × IQ-normal
(45)
2. Total power loss:
PTotal = PCON + PSW + PGate + PLDO + PIC
(46)
For a given operating ambient temperature TA:
TJ = TA + Rth × PTotal
where
•
•
•
•
TJ is the junction temperature in °C
TA is the ambient temperature in °C
Rth is the thermal resistance of package in (°C/W)
PTotal is the total power dissipation (W)
(47)
For a given maximum junction temperature TJ-max = 150°C, the allowed Total power dissipation is given as:
TA-max = TJ-max -Rth × PTotal
(48)
where
•
•
TA-max is the maximum ambient temperature in °C
TJ-max is the maximum junction temperature in °C
(49)
Additional power losses occur in the regulator circuit because of the inductor AC and DC losses, the Schottky
diode, and trace resistance that impact the overall efficiency of the regulator.
