Programming (continued)
7.4.2 Programming Soft Start
TPS40077 uses a closed-loop approach to ensure a controlled ramp on the output during start-up. Soft start is
programmed by connecting an external capacitor (CSS) from the SS pin to GND. This capacitor is charged by a
fixed current, generating a ramp signal. The voltage on SS is level-shifted down approximately 1 V and fed into a
separate noninverting input to the error amplifier. The loop is closed on the lower of the level-shifted SS voltage
or the 700-mV internal reference voltage. Once the level-shifted SS voltage rises above the internal reference
voltage, output-voltage regulation is based on the internal reference. To ensure a controlled ramp-up of the
output voltage, the soft-start time should be greater than the L-COUT time constant or Equation 11.

Note that there is a direct correlation between tSTART and the input current required during start-up. The lower
tSTART is, the higher the input current required during start-up, because the output capacitance must be charged
faster. For a desired soft-start time, the soft-start capacitance, CSS, can be found from Equation 12.

7.4.3 Programming Short-Circuit Protection
The TPS40077 uses a two-tier approach for short-circuit protection. The first tier is a pulse-by-pulse protection
scheme. Short-circuit protection is implemented on the high-side MOSFET by sensing the voltage drop across
the MOSFET when its gate is driven high. The MOSFET voltage is compared to the voltage dropped across a
resistor (RILIM) connected from VVDD to the ILIM pin when driven by a constant-current sink. If the voltage drop
across the MOSFET exceeds the voltage drop across the ILIM resistor, the switching pulse is immediately
terminated. The MOSFET remains off until the next switching cycle is initiated. This is illustrated in Figure 26.

Programming (continued)
In addition, just prior to the high-side MOSFET turning on, the ILIM pin is pulled down to approximately half of
VVDD. The ILIM pin is allowed to return to its nominal value after one of two events occurs. If the SW node rises
to within approximately 2 V of VVDD, the device allows ILIM to go back to its nominal value. This is illustrated in
Figure 26(A). T1 is the delay time from the internal PWM signal being asserted and the rise of SW. This includes
a driver delay of 50 ns, typical. T2 is the reaction time of the sensing circuit that allows ILIM to start to return to
its nominal value, typically 20 ns. The second event that can cause ILIM to return to its nominal value is for an
internal timeout to expire. This is illustrated in Figure 26(B) as T3. Here SW never rises to VVDD – 2 V, for
whatever reason, and the internal timer times out, releasing the ILIM pin.
Prior to ILIM starting back to its nominal value, overcurrent sensing is not enabled. In normal operation, this
ensures that the SW node is at a higher voltage than ILIM when overcurrent sensing starts, avoiding false trips
while allowing for a quicker blanking delay than would ordinarily be possible. Placing a capacitor across RILIM
sets an exponential approach to the normal voltage at the ILIM pin. This exponential decay of the overcurrent
threshold can be used to compensate for ringing on the SW node after its rising edge and to help compensate
for slower-turnon FETs. Choosing the proper capacitance requires care. If the capacitance is too large, the
voltage at ILIM does not approach the desired overcurrent level quickly enough, resulting in an apparent shift in
overcurrent threshold as pulse duration changes. As a general rule, it is best to make the time constant of the RC at the ILIM pin 0.2 times or less of the nominal pulse duration of the converter as shown in Equation 17.
Also, the comparator that uses ILIM and SW to determine if an overcurrent condition exists has a clamp on its
SW input. This clamp makes the SW node never appear to fall more than 1.4 V (approximately, could be as
much as 2 V at –40°C) below VVDD. When ILIM is more than 1.4 V below VVDD, the overcurrent circuit is
effectively disabled.
The second-tier protection incorporates a fault counter. The fault counter is incremented on each cycle with an
overcurrent pulse and decremented on a clock cycle without an overcurrent pulse. When the counter reaches
seven (7), a fault condition is declared by the controller. When this happens, the outputs are placed in a state
defined in Table 2. Seven soft-start cycles are initiated (without activity on the HDRV and LDRV outputs) and the
PWM is disabled during this period. The counter is decremented on each soft-start cycle. When the counter is
decremented to zero, the PWM is re-enabled and the controller attempts to restart. If the fault has been
removed, the output starts up normally. If the output is still present, the counter counts seven overcurrent pulses
and re-enters the second-tier fault mode. Refer to Figure 27 for typical fault-protection waveforms.
In Equation 13, the minimum short-circuit limit setpoint (ISCP(min)) depends on tSTART, COUT, VOUT, ripple current in
the inductor (IRIPPLE), and the load current at turnon (ILOAD).

Programming (continued)
The TPS40077 provides short-circuit protection only. Therefore, it is recommended that the minimum short-circuit
protection level be placed at least 20% above the maximum output current required from the converter. The
maximum output of the converter should be the steady state maximum output plus any transient specification
that may exist.
The ILIM capacitor maximum value can be found from Equation 17.

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 TPS40077 allows the user to construct synchronous voltage-mode buck converters with inputs ranging from
4.5 V to 28 V and outputs as low as 700 mV. Predictive Gate Drive circuitry optimizes switching delays for
increased efficiency and improved converter output-power capability. Voltage feed-forward is employed to ease
loop compensation for wide-input-range designs and provide better line transient response.
The TPS40077 incorporates circuitry to allow startup into a preexisting output voltage without sinking current
from the source of the preexisting output voltage. This avoids damaging sensitive loads at start-up. An integrated
power-good indicator is available for logic (open-drain) output of the condition of the output of the converter.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Power Train Components
8.2.1.2.1.1 Output Inductor, LOUT
The output inductor is one of the most important components to select. It stores the energy necessary to keep
the output regulated when the switch FET is turned off. The value of the output inductor dictates the peak and
RMS currents in the converter. These currents are important when selecting other components. Equation 18 can
be used to calculate a value for LOUT for this module which operates at a switching frequency (f) of 300 kHz.

IRIPPLE is the allowable ripple in the inductor. Select IRIPPLE to be between 20% and 30% of maximum IOUT. For
this design, IRIPPLE of 2.5 A was selected. Calculated LOUT is 2.13 μH. A standard inductor with value of 2.5 μH
was chosen. This will reduce IRIPPLE by about 17% to 2.07 A.
This IRIPPLE value can be used calculate the rms and peak current flowing in LOUT with Equation 19. Note that
this peak current is also seen by the switching FET and synchronous rectifier.

The inductor is selected with a saturation current higher than this current plus the current that is developed
charging the output capacitance during the soft-start interval.
8.2.1.2.1.2 Output Capacitor, COUT, ELCO and MLCC
Several parameters must be considered when selecting the output capacitor. The capacitance value should be
selected based on the output overshoot, VOVER, and undershoot, VUNDER, during a transient load, ISTEP, on the
converter. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is chosen to allow the converter to meet the output ripple
specification, VRIPPLE. The voltage rating must be greater than the maximum output voltage. Another parameter
to consider is equivalent series inductance, which is important in fast-transient load situations. Also, size and
technology can be factors when choosing the output capacitor. In this design, a large-capacitance electrolytic
type capacitor, COUT ELCO, is used to meet the overshoot and undershoot specifications. Its ESR is chosen to
meet the output ripple specification. Smaller multiple-layer ceramic capacitors, COUT MLCC, are used to filter
high-frequency noise.
The minimum required capacitance and maximum ESR can be calculated using Equation 21, Equation 22, and
Equation 23.

The capacitance for COUT should be greater than 444 μF, and its ESR should be less than 12 mΩ. The 470μF/6.3-V capacitor from Panasonic's FC series was chosen. Its ESR is 160 mΩ. MLCCs of 47 μF and 22 μF/16 V
are also added in parallel to achieve the required ESR and to reduce high-frequency noise.
8.2.1.2.1.3 Input Capacitor, CIN ELCO and MLCC
The input capacitor is selected to handle the ripple current of the buck stage. Also, a relatively large capacitance
is used to keep the ripple voltage on the supply line low. This is especially important where the supply line has
high impedance. It is recommended however, that the supply-line impedance be kept as low as possible.
The input-capacitor ripple current can be calculated using Equation 24.

IIN(AVG) is the average input current. This is calculated simply by multiplying the output dc current by the duty
cycle. The ripple current in the input capacitor is 3.3 A. An 1812 MLCC using X5R material has a typical
dissipation factor of 5%. For a 22-μF capacitor at 300 kHz, the ESR is approximately 4 mΩ. Two capacitors are
used in parallel, so the power dissipation in each capacitor is less than 11 mW.
A 470-μF/16-V electrolytic is added to maintain the voltage on the input rail.

8.2.1.2.1.4 Switching MOSFET, QSW
The following key parameters must be met by the selected MOSFET.
• Drain source voltage, Vds, must be able to withstand the input voltage plus spikes that may be on the
switching node. For this design a Vds rating of 30 volts is recommended.
• Drain current, ID, at 25°C, must be greater than that calculated using Equation 25.

With the parameters specified, the calculation of IQSW(RMS) should be greater than 5 A.
Gate source voltage, Vgs, must be able to withstand the gate voltage from the control IC. For the TPS40077,
this is 11 V.
Once the above boundary parameters are defined, the next step in selecting the switching MOSFET is to select
the key performance parameters. Efficiency is the performance characteristic which drives the other selection
criteria. Target efficiency for this design is 90%. Based on 1.8-V output and 10 A, this equates to a power loss in
the converter of 1.8 W. Based on this figure, a target of 0.6 W dissipated in the switching FET was chosen.
Equation 26 through Equation 29 can be used to calculate the power loss, PQSW, in the switching MOSFET.

Vg = gate voltage
If the total estimated loss is split evenly between conduction and switching losses, Equation 27 and Equation 28
yield preliminary values for RDS(on) and (Qgs1 + Qgd). Note output losses due to QOSS and gate losses have been
ignored here. Once a MOSFET is selected, these parameters can be added.
The switching MOSFET for this design should have an RDS(on) of less than 8 mΩ. The sum of Qgd and Qgs should
be approximately 4 nC.

It may not always be possible to get a MOSFET which meets both these criteria, so a compromise may be
necessary. Also, by selecting different MOSFETs close to these criteria and calculating power loss, the final
selection can be made. It was found that the Si7860DP MOSFET from Vishay semiconductor gave reasonable
results. This device has an RDS(on) of 8 mΩ and a (Qgs1 + Qgd) of 5 nC. The estimated conduction losses are
0.115 W and the switching losses are 0.276 W. This gives a total estimated power loss of 0.391 W versus 0.6 W
for our initial boundary condition. Note this does not include gate losses of approximately 71 mW and output
losses of 20 mW.
8.2.1.2.1.5 Rectifier MOSFET, QSR
Similar criteria to the foregoing can be used for the rectifier MOSFET. There is one significant difference: due to
the body diode conducting, the rectifier MOSFET switches with zero voltage across its drain and source, so
effectively with zero switching losses. However, there are some losses in the body diode. These are minimized
by reducing the delay time between the transition from the switching MOSFET turnoff to rectifier MOSFET turnon
and vice-versa. The TPS40077 incorporates TI's proprietary Predictive Gate Drive circuitry (PGD), which helps
reduce these delays to around 10 ns.
To calculate the losses in the rectifier MOSFET, use Equation 30 through Equation 33.

t2 = body diode conduction after turnoff of channel = 12 ns for PGD
Vf = body diode forward voltage
(33)
Estimating the body diode losses based on a forward voltage of 1 V gives 0.072 W. The gate losses are
unknown at this time, so assume 0.1-W gate losses. This leaves 0.428 W for conduction losses. Using this
figure, a target RDS(on) of 5 mΩ was calculated.
The Si7336ADP from Vishay was chosen. Using the parameters from its data sheet, the actual expected power
losses are calculated. Conduction loss is 0.317 W, body diode loss is 0.072 W, and the gate loss is 0.136W. This
totals 0.525 W associated with the rectifier MOSFET.
Two other criteria should be verified before finalizing on the rectifier MOSFET. One is the requirement to ensure
that predictive gate drive functions correctly. The turnoff delay of the Si7336ADP is 97 ns. The minimum turnoff
delay of the Si7860DP is 25 ns. Together these devices meet the 130-ns requirement.
Secondly, the ratio between Cgs and Cgd should be greater than 1. The Si7336ADP easily meets this criterion.
This helps reduce the risk of dv/dt-induced turnon of the rectifier MOSFET. If this is likely to be a problem, a
small resistor may be added in series with the boost capacitor, CBOOST.

This gives a resistor value of 165 kΩ. The nominal frequency using this resistor is 300 kHz.
8.2.1.2.1.7 Feed-Forward and UVLO Resistor, RKFF
A resistor connected to the KFF pin of the IC feeds into the ramp generator. This resistor provides current into
the ramp generator proportional to the input voltage. The ramp is then adjusted to compensate for different input
voltages. This provides the voltage feed-forward feature of the TPS40077.

The same resistor also sets the undervoltage lockout point. The input start voltage should be used to calculate a
value for RKFF. For this module, the minimum input voltage is 8 V; however, due to tolerances in the IC, a start
voltage of 10% less than the minimum input voltage is selected. The start voltage for RKFF calculation is 7.2 V.

8.2.1.2.1.8 Soft-Start Capacitor, CSS
It is good practice to limit the rise time of the output voltage. This helps prevent output overshoot and possible
damage to the load. The selection of the soft-start time is arbitrary. It must meet one condition: it should be
greater than the time constant of the output filter, LOUT and COUT. This time is given by Equation 36.

(36)
The soft-start time must be greater than 0.23 ms. A time of 0.75 ms was chosen. This time also helps limit the
initial input current during start-up so that the peak current plus the capacitor start-up current is less than the
minimum short-circuit current. The value of CSS can be calculated using Equation 37.

8.2.1.2.1.9 Short-Circuit Protection, RILIM and CILIM
Short-circuit protection is programmed using the RILIM resistor. Selection of this resistor depends on the RDS(on) of
the switching MOSFET selected and the required short-circuit current trip point, ISCP. The minimum ISCP is limited
by the inductor peak current, the output voltage, the output capacitor, and the soft-start time. Their relationship is
given by Equation 38. A short-circuit current trip point greater than that calculated by Equation 38 should be
used.

8.2.1.2.1.10 Boost Voltage, CBOOST and DBOOST (Optional)
To be able to drive an N-channel MOSFET in the switch location of a buck converter, a capacitor charge pump
or boost circuit is required. The TPS40077 contains the elements for this boost circuit. The designer must only
add a capacitor, CBOOST, from the switch node of the buck power stage to the BOOST pin of the IC. Selection
of this capacitor is based on the total gate charge of the switching MOSFET and the allowable ripple on the
boost voltage, ΔVBOOST. A ripple of 0.2 V is assumed for this design. Using these two parameters and
Equation 43, the minimum value for CBOOST can be calculated.
Q g(TOTAL)
CBOOST u
DV BOOST
(43)
The total gate charge of the switching MOSFET is 23 nC. A minimum CBOOST of 0.092 μF is required. A 0.1 μF
capacitor was chosen. This capacitor must be able to withstand the maximum input voltage plus the maximum
voltage on DBP. This is 13.2 V plus 9.0 V, which is 22.2 V. A 50-V capacitor is used.
To reduce losses in the TPS40077 and to increase the available gate voltage for the switching MOSFET, an
external diode can be added between the DBP pin and the BOOST pin of the IC. A small-signal Schottky diode
should be used here, such as the BAT54.
8.2.1.2.1.11 Closing the Feedback Loop, RZ1, RP1, RPZ2, RSET1, RSET2, CZ2, CP2, and CPZ1

converter. Its PWM gain is given by Equation 44.

The ramp voltage is 1 V at the UVLO voltage. Because of the feed-forward compensation, the programmed

The next step is to establish the required compensation gain to achieve the desired overall system response.
The target response is to have the crossover frequency between 1/9 and 1/5 times the switching frequency, in
order to have a phase margin greater than 45° and a gain margin greater than 6 dB.
A type-III compensation network, shown in Figure 30, was used for this design. This network gives the best

Looking at the PWM and LC bode plot, there are a few things which must be done to achieve stability.
1. Place two zeros close to the double pole, e.g., fZ1 = fZ2 = 4.3 kHz
2. Place both poles well above the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency was selected as one sixth the
switching frequency, fco1 = 50 kHz, fP1 = 66 kHz
3. Place the second pole at three times fco1. This ensures that the overall system gain falls off quickly to give
good gain margin, fp2 = 150 kHz
4. The high-frequency gain should be sufficient to ensure 0 dB at the required crossover frequency, GAIN = –1
× gain of PWM and LC at the crossover frequency, GAIN = 16.9 dB
Using these values and Equation 50 through Equation 55, the Rs and Cs around the compensation network can
be calculated.
1. Set RZ1 = 51 kΩ
2. Calculate RSET using Equation 50, RSET = 32.4 kΩ
3. Using Equation 54 and fz1 = 4.3 kHz, CPZ1 can be calculated to be 726 pF, CPZ1= 680 pF

4. fP1 and Equation 52 yields RP1 to be a standard value of 3.3 kΩ.
5. The required gain of 16.9 dB and Equation 51 sets the value for RPZ2. RPZ2 = 21.5 kΩ.
6. CZ2 is calculated using Equation 55 and the desired frequency for the second zero, CZ2 = 1.7 nF, or using
standard values, 1.8 nF.
7. Finally, CP2 is calculated using the second pole frequency and Equation 53; CP2 = 47 pF.
Using these values, the simulated results are 57° of phase margin at 54 kHz.

9 Layout
9.1 Layout Guidelines
The TPS40077 provides separate signal ground (SGND) and power ground (PGND) pins. Take care to properly
separation of the circuit grounds. Each ground must consist of a plane to minimize its impedance, if possible.
The high-power noisy circuits such as the output, synchronous rectifier, MOSFET driver decoupling capacitor
(DBP), and the input capacitor should be connected to PGND plane.
Connect sensitive nodes such as the FB resistor divider and RT to the SGND plane. The SGND plane must only
make a single-point connection to the PGND plane. TI recommends that the SGND pin be tied to the copper
area for the thermal pad underneath the chip. Tie the PGND to the thermal-pad copper area as well, and make
the connection to the power circuit ground from the PGND pin. Reference the output voltage divider to the SGND
pin.
Component placement must ensure that bypass capacitors (LVPB and DBP) are located as close as possible to
their respective power and ground pins. Also, sensitive circuits such as FB, RT and ILIM should not be located
near high-dv/dt nodes such as HDRV, LDRV, BOOST, and the switch node (SW). Failure to follow careful layout
practices results in suboptimal operation. More detailed information can be found in the TPS40077EVM user's
guide (SLVU192).
