LP8728C-Q1 Quad-Output Step-Down DC-DC Converter
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LP8728C-Q1 is a quad-output Power
Management Unit (PMU), optimized for low-power
FPGAs, microprocessors, and DSPs for automotive
applications. This device integrates four highly
efficient step-down DC-DC converters into one
package. Each converter has high current capability
and separate controls which allows flexibility to use
the device in multiple applications. All the converters
operate above the AM band with a fixed 3.2-MHz
switching frequency. The high-side switch turn-on
time of each converter is phase shifted to minimize
input current spikes.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typical) and
disengages at TJ = 130°C (typical).

All voltage values are with respect to network ground terminal.
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA(max)) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ(max)), the
maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD(max)), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part/package
in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA(max) = TJ(max) – (RθJA × PD(max))

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LP8728C-Q1 has four integrated high-efficiency buck converters. Each buck converter has individual enable
input and power good output pins. When the first enable pin is pulled high there is a 420-µs start-up delay when
the device wakes up from the shutdown mode and all internal reference blocks are started up. Once reference
blocks have settled, the corresponding buck converter turns on. Buck cores utilize the soft-start feature to limit
the inrush current during start-up. Once a buck output reaches 96% (typical) of the desired output voltage, the
power-good pin is pulled high (see Figure 9). When at least one buck core is active, the remaining buck
converters will start up without any start-up delay.
If the output voltage drops below 93% (typical) of desired voltage due to, for example, an overload condition, the
corresponding power-good pin is pulled low. The power-good signal is always held low for at least 50 ms. When
the enable pin is pulled low, the corresponding buck converter's power good signals are set low, and the buck
converter is instantly shut down. An output capacitor is then discharged through an internal 70-Ω (typical)
pulldown resistor. The pulldown resistor is connected between buck feedback pin and ground and is only active
when the enable pin is set low. When all enable signals are pulled low, the LP8728C-Q1 enters a low current
shutdown mode.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Buck Information
The buck converters are operated in a forced PWM mode. Even with light load a minimum switching pulse is
generated with every switching cycle. Each buck converter's high-side switch turn-on time is phase shifted to
minimize the input current ripple (see Figure 20).
7.3.1.1 Features
The following features are supported for all converters:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Synchronous rectification
Current mode feedback loop with PI compensator
Forced PWM operation
Soft start
Power-good output
Overvoltage comparator
In addition to the aforementioned features, Buck3 output voltage can be selected with the DEFSEL pin. If the
DEFSEL pin is pulled low, VOUT3 is set to 1.8 V. If DEFSEL is pulled high, VOUT3 is set to 2.65 V.

7.3.2 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
Thermal shutdown function shuts down all buck regulators if the device's junction temperature TJ rises above
150°C (typ.). All power-good signals are pulled low 5 ms before the buck regulators are shut down. Once TJ falls
below 130°C (typical), the LP8728 will automatically start up the buck regulators. There is a 2-second safety
delay included in the restart function. Buck regulators are not restarted until 2 seconds have elapsed after TJ falls
below 130°C (typical). To minimize the inrush current during restarting, regulators are started in a Buck1 →
Buck2 → Buck3 → Buck4 sequence. A 500-µs delay is included between each buck start-up.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If input voltage drops below 2.7 V (typ.) the PG_Bx pins are pulled low and the buck converters are shut down.
(Figure 11). The PG_Bx pins are always held low for at least 50 ms. The buck converters are restarted once the
input voltage rises above UVLO level.
If a UVLO condition has lasted less than 50 ms, the PG_Bx pins are released high once 50 ms has elapsed and
corresponding output voltage has settled. If an overvoltage condition has lasted more than 50 ms, the PG_Bx
pins are released high once corresponding output voltage has settled.
Regulators are always restarted in a Buck1 → Buck2 → Buck3 → Buck4 sequence. A 500-µs delay is included
between each buck start-up.

7.3.4 Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Overvoltage protection protects the device in case of an overvoltage condition. If input voltage exceeds 5.7 V
(typical), all PG_Bx pins are pulled low. the PG_Bx pins are always held low for at least 50 ms. Once the PG_Bx
pins are pulled low, the system has 5 ms time to power down. After an overvoltage condition has lasted for 5 ms,
all buck converters are shut down. The buck converters are restarted once input voltage falls below 5.62 V
(typical). The buck converters are started in a Buck1 → Buck2 → Buck3 → Buck4 sequence. A 500-µs delay is
included between each buck start-up.
If an overvoltage condition lasted more than 5 ms, but less than 50 ms, the PG_Bx pins are released high once
50 ms has elapsed and the corresponding output voltage has settled (Figure 12).

Feature Description (continued)
If an overvoltage condition has lasted more than 50 ms, the power-good signals are released high once the
corresponding output voltage has settled. Regulators are started in a buck1 → buck2 → buck3 → buck4
sequence. A 500-µs delay is included between each buck start-up (Figure 13). If an overvoltage condition has
lasted less than 5 ms, the buck converters are not shut down. Even in this case the PG_Bx pins are held low for
50 ms.
NOTE
Since the regulators are allowed to operate for 5 ms during overvoltage condition it is the
system designer’s responsibility to verify that input voltage doesn’t exceed limits stated in
Absolute Maximum Ratings. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage to the
device.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
When all EN_Bx inputs are low, the device is in a Shutdown mode. This is a low-power mode when all buckregulators and all internal blocks are disabled.
7.4.2 Active Mode
When the first enable pin is pulled high there is a 420-µs start-up delay when the device wakes up from the
Shutdown; mode and all internal reference blocks are started up. Once the reference blocks have settled, the
corresponding buck converter turns on. Buck cores utilize the soft-start feature to limit the inrush current during
start-up. Once a buck output reaches 96% (typical) of the desired output voltage, the power-good pin is pulled
high. When at least one buck converter is active device is in a Active mode. When device is in Active mode, the
remaining buck converters will start up without any start-up delay when EN_Bx pin is pulled high. When EN_Bx
pin is set low the corresponding buck converter will shut down. When all EN_Bx pins are set low the device shuts
down all internal reference blocks and enters Shutdown mode.
If output voltage of a buck regulator falls below 93% (typical) of desired voltage due to, for example, an overload
condition, the corresponding power good pin is pulled low. Once the output voltage rises back above 96%
(typical) of desired voltage power good pin is set back high. Power good signal is held low for at least 50 ms.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
If OVP, or TSD fault occurs during normal operation, all power good pins are pulled low. Once fault condition has
lasted for 5 ms all buck converters are shut down. In case of UVLO fault buck regulators are instantly shut down.
Once fault condition has ended buck converters are restarted in a Buck1 → Buck2 → Buck3 → Buck4 power-up
sequence. A 500-µs delay is included between each buck start-up. In case of TSD fault there is a 2-second
safety delay before power-up sequence.

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 LP8728C-Q1 is a quad-output Power Management Unit (PMU), optimized for low-power FPGAs,
microprocessors, and DSPs.
8.2 Typical Application
Figure 15 shows an example of a typical application. A microcontroller controls each buck converter with
separate enable signals. All four power good signals are connected to a microcontroller with dedicated pullup
resistors. If only one master power good signal is required all power good signals can be connected in parallel
and pulled up with a single pullup resistor. VOUT3 output voltage can be selected with a DEFSEL input. If VOUT3
output voltage control is not required during operation, output voltage can be selected by connecting DEFSEL pin
to VDDIO or to GND.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Inductor
The four converters operate with 1.5-µH inductors. The inductor has to be selected based on the DC resistance
and saturation current. The DC resistance of the inductor directly effects the efficiency of the converter.
Therefore, an inductor with the lowest possible DC resistance should be selected for good efficiency. The
inductor should have a saturation current rating equal or higher than the high-side switch current limit (1500 mA).
To minimize radiated noise shielded inductor should be used. The inductor should be placed as close to the
LP8728C-Q1 as possible, and the trace from the inductor to the buck converter switch pin needs to be wide
enough to withstand the high switching currents.
8.2.2.2 Input and Output Capacitors
Because buck converters have a discontinuous input current, a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) input
capacitor is required for the best input-voltage filtering and to minimize interference with other circuits caused by
high input voltage spikes. Each DC-DC converter requires a 10-µF ceramic input capacitor on its input pin
VIN_Bx. The input capacitor capacitance can be increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering.
Voltage rating of the capacitors should be at least 10V. A small 100-nF capacitor can be used in parallel to
minimize high-frequency interferences. Input capacitors should be placed as close to the VIN_Bx pins as
possible. Routing from input capacitor to VIN_Bx pins should be done on top layer without using any vias.
An output capacitor with a typical value of 10 µF is recommended for each converter. Ceramic capacitors with
low ESR value have lowest output voltage ripple and are recommended.
Some ceramic capacitors, especially those in small packages, exhibit a strong capacitance reduction with the
increased applied DC voltage (DC bias effect). The capacitance value can fall below half of the nominal
capacitance. This needs to be taken into consideration and, if necessary, use a capacitor with higher value or
higher voltage rating.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP8728C-Q1 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. This input
supply must be well regulated and capable to supply the required input current. If the input supply is located far
from the device, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
AVDD and BYP pins must be bypassed to ground. 1-µF ceramic capacitor is recommended. Place the
capacitors close to the AVDD, BYP, and AGND pins.
AGND pin must be tied to the PCB ground plane. Use multiple vias to minimize the inductance.
AVDD pin must be connected to PCB VIN plane. Use multiple vias to minimize the inductance.
Place the buck converter input capacitors as close to the buck input voltage and buck ground pins as
possible.
Place the buck converter output capacitors and inductors so that the buck converter switching loops can be
routed on top layer. Try to minimize the area of the switching loops.
Keep the trace width from switch pin to inductor wide enough to withstand the switching currents. Avoid any
excess copper on the switch node to minimize parasitic switch node capacitance.
Connect the exposed thermal pad to ground plane with multiple thermal vias.
Avoid routing digital signals directly under the switching loops to avoid interferences.
