TPS40200 Wide Input Range Non-Synchronous Voltage Mode Controller
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The TPS40200 is a flexible, non-synchronous
controller with a built-in 200-mA driver for P-channel
FETs. The circuit operates with inputs up to 52 V with
a power-saving feature that turns off driver current
once the external FET has been fully turned on. This
feature extends the flexibility of the device, allowing it
to operate with an input voltage up to 52 V without
dissipating excessive power. The circuit operates with
voltage-mode feedback and has feed-forward input
voltage compensation that responds instantly to input
voltage change. The integral 700-mV reference is
trimmed to 2%, providing the means to accurately
control low voltages. The TPS40200 is available in an
8-pin SOIC and an 8-pin VSON package and
supports many of the features of more complex
controllers.
Clock
frequency,
soft-start,
and
overcurrent limits are each easily programmed by a
single, external component. The part has
undervoltage lockout, and can be easily synchronized
to other controllers or a system clock to satisfy
sequencing and/or noise-reduction requirements.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS40200 is a non-synchronous controller with a built in 200-mA driver designed to drive high speed Pchannel FETs up to 500 kHz. Small size combined with complete functionality makes the part both versatile and
easy to use.
The controller uses a low-value current-sensing resistor in series with the input voltage and the power FETs
source connection to detect switching current. When the voltage drop across this resistor exceeds 100 mV, the
part enters an hiccup fault mode at about 2% of the operating frequency.
The device uses voltage feedback to an error amplifier that is biased by a precision 700-mV reference. Feedforward compensation from the input keeps the PWM gain constant over the full input voltage range, eliminating
the need to change frequency compensation for different input voltages.
The TPS40200 also incorporates a soft-start feature where the output follows a slowly rising soft-start voltage,
preventing output-voltage overshoot.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 MOSFET Gate Drive
The output driver sinking current is approximately 200 mA and is designed to drive P-channel power FETs. When
the driver pulls the gate charge of the FET it is controlling to 8 V, the drive current folds back to a low level so
that high-power dissipation only occurs during the turn-on period of the FET. This feature is particularly valuable
when turning on a FET at high input voltages where leaving the gate drive current on would otherwise cause
unacceptable power dissipation.
7.3.2 Undervoltage Lockout Protection
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection ensures proper startup of the device only when the input voltage has
exceeded minimum operating voltage. Undervoltage protection incorporates hysteresis which eliminates hiccup
starting in cases where input supply impedance is high.

Undervoltage protection ensures proper startup of the device only when the input voltage has exceeded
minimum operating voltage. The UVLO level is measured at the VDD pin with respect to GND. Startup voltage is
typically 4.3 V with approximately 200 mV of hysteresis. The device shuts off at a nominal 4.1 V. As shown in
Figure 23, when the input VDD voltage rises to 4.3 V , the 1.3-V comparator’s threshold voltage is exceeded and
a RUN signal occurs. Feedback from the output closes the switch, and shunts the 200-kΩ resistor so that an
approximately 200 mV lower voltage, or 4.1 V, is required before the part shuts down.
7.3.3 Selecting the Operating Frequency
The operating frequency of the controller is determined by an external resistor RRC that is connected from the RC
pin to VDD and a capacitor attached from the RC pin to ground. This connection and the two oscillator
comparators inside the device, are shown in Figure 24. The oscillator frequency can be calculated in Equation 1.

f SW =
R RC ´ C RC ´ 0.105
(1)
where
fSW is the clock frequency
RRC is the timing resistor value in Ω
CRC is the timing capacitor value in F
RRC must be kept large enough that the current through it does not exceed 750 μA when the internal switch
(shown in Figure 24) is discharging the timing capacitor. This condition may be expressed by Equation 2.

7.3.4 Synchronizing the Oscillator
Figure 24 shows the functional diagram of the oscillator. When synchronizing the oscillator to an external clock,
the RC pin must be pulled below 150 mV for 20 ns or more. The external clock frequency must be higher than
the free running frequency of the converter as well. When synchronizing the controller, if the RC pin is held low
for an excessive amount of time, erratic operation may occur. The maximum amount of time that the RC pin
should be held low is 50% of a nominal output pulse, or 10% of the period of the synchronization frequency
whichever is less.

Feature Description (continued)
Under circumstances where the input voltage is high and the duty cycle is less than 50%, a Schottky diode
connected from the RC pin to an external clock may be used to synchronize the oscillator. The cathode of the
diode is connected to the RC pin. The trip point of the oscillator is set by an internal voltage divider to be 1/10 of
the input voltage. The clock signal must have an amplitude higher than this trip point. When the clock goes low, it
allows the reset current to restart the RC ramp, synchronizing the oscillator to the external clock. This provides a
simple, single-component method for clock synchronization.

7.3.5 Current Limit Resistor Selection
As shown in Figure 28, a resistor in series with the power MOSFET sets the overcurrent protection level. Use a
low-inductance resistor to avoid ringing signals and nuisance tripping. When the FET is on and the controller
senses 100 mV or more drop from the VDD pin to the ISNS pin, an overcurrent condition is declared. When this
happens, the FET is turned off, and as shown in Figure 26, the soft-start capacitor is discharged. When the softstart capacitor reaches a level below 150 mV, the converter clears the overcurrent condition flag and attempts to
restart. If the condition that caused the overcurrent event to occur is still present on the output of the converter
(see Figure 27), another overcurrent condition is declared and the process repeats indefinitely. Figure 27 shows
the soft-start capacitor voltage during an extended output fault condition. The overall duty cycle of current
conduction during a persistent fault is approximately 2%.

If necessary, a small RC filter can be added to the current sensing network to reduce nuisance tripping due to
noise pickup. This filter can also be used to trim the overcurrent trip point to a higher level with the addition of a
single resistor. See Figure 28. The nominal overcurrent trip point using the circuit of Figure 28 is described in

7.3.6 Calculating the Soft-Start Time
An external capacitor CSS, connected from the SS pin to ground, controls the soft-start interval. An internal
charging resistor connected to VDD produces a rising reference voltage which is connected though a 700-mV
offset to the reference input of the TPS40200 error amplifier. When the soft-start capacitor voltage (VCSS) is
below 150 mV, there is no switching activity. When VCSS rises above the 700 mV offset, the error amplifier starts
to follow VSST– 700 mV, and uses this rising voltage as a reference. When VCSS reaches 1.4 V, the internal
reference takes over, and further increases have no effect. An advantage of initiating a slow start in this fashion
is that the controller cannot overshoot because its output follows a scaled version of the controller reference
voltage. A conceptual drawing of the circuit that produces these results is shown in Figure 29. A consequence of
the 700 mV offset is that the controller does not start switching until VCSS has risen to 700 mV. The output
remains at 0 V during the resulting delay. When VCSS exceeds the 700 mV offset, the TPS40200 output follows
the soft-start time constant. Once above 1.4 V, the 700-mV internal reference takes over, and normal operation
begins.

voltage is above 8 V, an internal regulator clamps the maximum charging voltage to 8 V.

The error amplifier has a DC open loop gain of at least 60 dB with a minimum of a 1.5-MHz gain bandwidth
product which gives the user flexibility with respect to the type of feedback compensation he uses for his
particular application. The gain selected by the user at the crossover frequency is set to provide an over all unity
gain for the system. The crossover frequency should be selected so that the error amplifier open-loop gain is
high with respect to the required closed-loop gain, ensuring that the amplifier response is determined by the
passive feedback elements.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Operation Near Minimum Input Voltage
The TPS40200 is designed to operate with input voltages above 4.5 V. The typical VDD UVLO threshold is 4.25
V and the device may operate at input voltages down to the UVLO voltage. At input voltages below the actual
UVLO voltage, the device will not switch. When VVDD passes the UVLO threshold the device will become active.
Switching is enabled and the soft start sequence is initiated. The TPS40200 will ramp up the output voltage at
the rate determined by the external capacitor at the soft-start pin.
7.4.2 Operation With SS Pin
The SS pin has a 150 mV threshold which can be used to disable the TPS40200. With SS forced below this
threshold voltage the device is disabled and switching is inhibited even if VVDD is above its UVLO threshold. If the
SS voltage is allowed to increase above the threshold while VVDD is above its UVLO threshold, the device
becomes active. Switching is enabled and the soft start sequence is initiated. The TPS40200 will ramp up the
output voltage at the rate determined by the external capacitor at the soft-start pin.

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 TPS40200 is a 4.5-V to 52-V buck controller with an integrated gate driver for a high-side p-channel
MOSFET. This device is typically used to convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage with a maximum
output current set by an external current sense resistor. In higher current applications, the maximum output
current can also be limited by the thermal performance of the external MOSFET and rectifying diode switch. Use
the following design procedure to select external components for the TPS40200. The design procedure illustrates
the design of a typical buck regulator with the TPS40200.
8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 Buck Regulator, 8 V to 12 V Input, 3.3 V to 5.0 V at 2.5-A Output
The buck regulator design shown in Figure 31 shows the use of the TPS40200. It delivers 2.5 A at either 3.3 V or
5.0 V as selected by a single feedback resistor. It achieves approximately 90% efficiency at 3.3 V and 94% at 5.0
V. A discussion of design tradeoffs and methodology is included to serve as a guide to the successful design of
buck converters using the TPS40200.
The Bill of Materials for this application is given in Table 2. The efficiency and load regulation from boards built
from this design are shown in Figure 42 and Figure 43.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 FET Selection Criteria
•
•
•
The maximum input voltage for this application is 16 V. Switching the inductor causes overshoot voltages that
can equal the input voltage. Since the RDS(on) of the FET rises with breakdown voltage, select a FET with as
low a breakdown voltage as possible. In this case, a 30-V FET was selected.
The selection of a power FET size requires knowing both the switching losses and DC losses in the
application. AC losses are all frequency dependent and directly related to device capacitances and device
size. On the other hand, DC losses are inversely related to device size. The result is an optimum where the
two types of losses are equal. Since device size is proportional to RDS(on), begin by selecting a device with an
RDS(on) that results in a small loss of power relative to package thermal capability and overall efficiency
objectives.
In this application, the efficiency target is 90% and the output power 8.25 W. This gives a total power-loss
budget of 0.916 W. Total FET losses must be small relative to this number.

Using the values in this example, the DC power loss is 129 mW. The remaining FET losses are as follows:
• PSW is the power dissipated while switching the FET on and off
• PGATE is the power dissipated driving the FET gate capacitance
• PCOSS is the power switching the FET output capacitance
The total power dissipated by the FET is the sum of these contributions.
PFET = PSW + PGATE + PCOSS + PRDS(on)

The P-channel FET used in this application is a FDC654P with the following characteristics:

The sum of the switching losses is 34 mW, and is comparable to the 129-mW DC losses. At added expense, a
slightly larger FET is better because the DC loss drops and the AC losses increase, with both moving toward the
optimum point of equal losses.
8.2.1.2.2 Rectifier Selection Criteria
1. Rectifier Breakdown Voltage
The rectifier has to withstand the maximum input voltage which in this case is 16 V. To allow for switching
transients which can approach the switching voltage a 30-V rectifier was selected.
2. Diode Size
The importance of power losses from the Schottky rectifier D2 is determined by the duty cycle. For a low
duty cycle application, the rectifier is conducting most of the time, and the current that flows through it times
its forward drop can be the largest component of loss in the entire controller. In this application, the duty
cycle ranges from 20% to 40%, which in the worst case means that the diode is conducting 80% of the time.
Where efficiency is of paramount importance, choose a diode with a minimum of forward drop. In more cost
sensitive applications, size may be reduced to the point of the thermal limitations of the diode package.
The device in this application is large relative to the current required by the application. In a more cost
sensitive application, a smaller diode in a less-expensive package will provide a less-efficient but appropriate
solution
The device used has the following characteristics:
• Vf = 0.3 V at 3 A
• Ct = 300 pF (Ct = the effective reverse voltage capacitance of the synchronous rectifier, D2).
The two components of the losses from the diode D2 are:

This additional loss raises the total loss to: 660 mW.
At an output voltage of 3.3 V, the application runs at a nominal duty cycle of 27%, and the diode is conducting
72.5% of the time. As the output voltage is moved up to 5 V, the on-time increases to 46% and the diode is
conducting only 54% of the time during each clock cycle. This change in duty cycle proportionately reduces the
conduction power losses in the diode. This reduction may be expressed as
æ 0.54 ö

for a savings in power of 660 – 491 = 169 mW.
To illustrate the relevance of this power savings we measured the full load module Efficiency for this application
at 3.3 V and 5 V. The 5-V output efficiency is 92% vs. 89% for the 3.3 V design. This difference in efficiency
represents a 456 mW reduction in losses between the two conditions. This 169 mW power-loss reduction in the
rectifier represents 37% of the difference.
8.2.1.2.3
Inductor Selection Criteria
The P-channel FET driver facilitates switching the power FET at a high frequency. This, in turn, enables the use
of smaller, less-expensive inductors as illustrated in this 300 kHz application. Ferrite, with its good high frequency
properties, is the material of choice. Several manufacturers provide catalogs with inductor saturation currents,
inductance values, and LSRs (internal resistance) for their various-sized ferrites.
In this application, the device must deliver a maximum current of 2.5 A. This requires that the output inductor’s
saturation current be above 2.5 A plus ½ the ripple current caused during inductor switching. The value of the
inductor determines this ripple current. A low value of inductance has a higher ripple current that contributes to
ripple voltage across the resistance of the output capacitors. The advantages of a low inductance are a higher
transient response, lower DCR, a higher saturation current, and a smaller, less expensive part. Too low an
inductor however, leads to higher peak currents which ultimately are bounded by the overcurrent limit set to
protect the output FET or by output ripple voltage. Fortunately, with low ESR Ceramic capacitors on the output,
the resulting ripple voltage for relatively high ripple currents can be small.
For example, a single 1-μF, 1206 size, 6.3-V, ceramic capacitor has an internal resistance of 2 Ω at 1 MHz. For
this 2.5-A application, a 10% ripple current of 0.25 A produces a 50-mV ripple voltage. This ripple voltage may be
further reduced by additional parallel capacitors.
The other bound on inductance is the minimum current at which the controller enters discontinuous conduction.
At this point, Inductor current is zero. The minimum output current for this application is specified at 0.125 A. This
average current is 1/2 the peak current that must develop during a minimum on time. The conditions for minimum
on time are high line and low load.

8.2.1.2.4 Output Capacitance
In order to satisfy the output voltage over and under shoot specifications there must be enough output
capacitance to keep the output voltage within the specified voltage limits during load current steps.
In a situation where a full load of 2.5 A within the specified voltage limits is suddenly removed, the output
capacitor must absorb energy stored in the output inductor. This condition may be described by realizing that the
energy in the stored in the inductor must be suddenly absorbed by the output capacitance. This energy
relationship is written as:
1
1
2
2
2
´ L OIO £ ´ C O VOS - VO
2
2
(16)
[ (
)]
Where
VOS is the allowed over-shoot voltage above the output voltage
LO is the inductance
IO is the output current
CO is the output capacitance
VO is the output voltage
In this application, the worst case load step is 2.25 A and the allowed overshoot is 100 mV. With a 33 μH output
inductor, this implies an output capacitance of 249 μF for a 3.3 V output and 165 μF for a 5 V output..
When the load increases from minimum to full load the output capacitor must deliver current to the load. The
worst case is for a minimum on time that occurs at 16 V in and 3.3 VOUT and minimum load. This corresponds to
an off time of (1 – 0.2 ) times the period 3.3 μs and is the worst case time before the inductor can start supplying
current. This situation may be represented by:
t
DVO < DIO ´ OFFMAX
CO
(17)
Where
ΔVO is the undershoot specification of 60 mV
ΔIO is the load current step
tOFF(max) is the maximum off time
This condition produces a requirement of 100 μF for the output capacitance. The larger of these two
requirements becomes the minimum value of output capacitance.
The ripple current develops a voltage across the ESR of the output capacitance, so another requirement on this
component is it ESR be small relative to the ripple voltage specification.
8.2.1.2.5 Switching Frequency
The TPS40200 has a built-in, 8-V, 200-mA, P-channel FET driver output that facilitates using P-channel
switching FETs A clock frequency of 300 kHz is chosen as a switching frequency that represents a compromise
between a high-frequency that allows the use of smaller capacitors and inductors but one that is not so high as
to cause excessive transistor switching losses. As previously discussed, an optimum frequency can be selected
by picking a value where the DC and switching losses are equal.
The frequency is set by using the design formula given in the FET Selection Criteria section.

fSW is the desired switching frequency in Hz
fSW = 297 kHz.
At a worst case of 16 V, the timing resistor draws about 250 μA which is well below the 750 μA maximum which
the circuit can pull down.
8.2.1.2.6
Calculating the Overcurrent Threshold Level
The current limit in the TSP40200 is triggered by a comparator with a 100-mV offset whose inputs are connected
across a current-sense resistor between VIN and the source of the high-side switching FET. When current in this
resistor develops more than 100 mV, the comparator trips and terminates the output gate drive.
In this application, the current-limit resistor is set by the peak output stage current which consists of the
maximum load current plus ½ the ripple current. In this case, we have 2.5 + 0.125 = 2.625 A. To accommodate
tolerances a 25% margin is added giving a 3.25 A peak current. Using the equation below then yields a value for
RILIM of 0.03 Ω.
Current sensing in a switching environment requires attention to both circuit board traces and noise pick up. In
the design shown a small RC filter has been added to the circuit to prevent switching noise from tripping the
current sense comparator. The requirements of this filter are board-dependent, but with the layout used in this
application, no unreasonable overcurrent is observed.

The oscilloscope picture below shows the expected delay at the output (middle trace) until the soft-start node
(bottom trace) reaches 700 mV. At this point, the output rises following the exponential rise of the soft-start
capacitor voltage until the soft-start capacitor reaches 1.4 V and the internal 700-mV reference takes over. This
total time is approximately 1 ms, which agrees with the calculated value of 0.95 ms where the soft-start

8.2.1.2.8 Frequency Compensation
The four elements that determine the system overall response are discussed below The gain of the error
amplifier (KEA) is the first of there elements. Its output develops a control voltage which is the input to the PWM.
The TPS40200 has a unique modulator that scales the peak to peak amplitude of the PWM ramp to be 0.1 times
the value of the input voltage. Since modulator gain is given by VIN divided by VRAMP, the modulator gain is 10
and is constant at 10 (20 dB) over the entire specified input voltage range.
The last two elements that affect system gain are the transfer characteristic of the output LC filter and the
feedback network from the output to the input to the error amplifier.
These four elements maybe expressed by the following expression that represents the system transfer function
as shown in Figure 34.
TV (S ) = K FB ´ K EA (S)´ K PWM ´ X LC (S)

Figure 35 shows the feedback network used in this application. This is a Type II compensation network which
gives a combination of good transient response and phase boost for good stability. This type of compensation
has a pole at the origin causing a –20dB/decade (–1) slope followed by a zero that causes a region of flat gain
followed by a final pole that returns the gain slope to –1. The bode plot in Figure 36 shows the effect of these
poles and zeros.
The procedure for setting up the compensation network is as follows:
1. Determine the break frequency of the output capacitor.
2. Select a zero frequency well below this break frequency.
3. From the gain bandwidth of the error amplifier select a crossover frequency where the amplifier gain is large
relative to expected closed loop gain
4. Select a second zero well above the crossover frequency, that returns the gain slope to a –1 slope.
5. Calculate the required gain for the amplifier at crossover.
Be prepared to iterate this procedure to optimize the pole and zero locations as needed.
The frequency response of this converter is largely determined by two poles that arise from the LC output filter
and a higher frequency zero caused by the ESR of the output capacitance. The poles from the output filter cause
a –40 dB/decade roll off with a phase shift approaching 180 degrees followed by the output capacitor zero that
reduced the roll off to –20 dB and gives a phase boost back toward 90 degrees. In other nomenclature, this is a
–2 slope followed by a –1 slope. The two zeros in the compensation network act to cancel the double pole from
the output filter The compensation network’s two poles produce a region where the error amplifier is flat and can
be set to a gain such that the overall gain of the system is zero dB. This region is set so that it brackets the
system crossover frequency.

In order to properly compensate this system, it is necessary to know the frequencies of its poles and zeros.
8.2.1.2.8.1 Step 1
The break frequency of the output capacitor is given by:
1
fESR =
2p ´ RESR ´ COUT
(21)
Where
COUT = the output capacitor, 220 μF
RESR = the ESR of the capacitors
Because of the ESR of the output capacitor, the output LC filter has a single-pole response above the 1.8-kHz
break frequency of the output capacitor and its ESR. This simplifies compensation since the system becomes
essentially a single pole system.
8.2.1.2.8.2 Step 2
The first zero is place well below the 1.8-kHz break frequency of the output capacitor and its ESR. The phase
boost from this zero is shown in Figure 38.
1
fZ1 =
2p ´ R8 ´ C8
(22)
Where
R8 = 300 kΩ
C8 = 1500 pF
fZ1 = 354 Hz
8.2.1.2.8.3 Step 3
From its minimum gain bandwidth product of 1.5 MHz, and knowing it has a 20 dB/decade roll off, the open-loop
gain of the error amplifier is 33 dB at 35 kHz. This approximate frequency is chosen for a crossover frequency to
keep the amplifier gain contribution to the overall system gain small, as well as following the convention of
placing the crossover frequency between 1/6 to 1/10 the 300 kHz switching frequency.
8.2.1.2.8.4 Step 4
The second pole is placed well above the 35 kHz crossover frequency.

fP2 =
´ (C7 + C8 )
2p ´ C 7 ´ C 8 ´ R 8

Where

8.2.1.2.8.5 Step 5
Calculate the gain elements in the system to determine the gain required by the error amplifier to make the over
all gain 0 dB at 35 kHz.
The total gain around the voltage feedback loop is:
TV (S ) = K FB ´ K EA (S)´ K PWM ´ X LC (S)
(24)
Where
KFB is the output voltage setting divider
KEA is the error amplifier feedback
KPWM is the modulator gain

evaluate XLC(S) at 35 kHz use the following:
ZOUT(s) at 35 kHz, which is dominated by the output capacitor's ESR; estimated to be 400 mΩ
ZL(s) at 35 kHz is 7.25 Ω
RSW = 0.95 mΩ, including the RLIM resistance
RSR = 100 mΩ
Using these numbers, XLC(S) = 0.04 or –27.9 dB.
The feedback network has a gain to the error amplifier given by:
R
K fb = 10
R6
(26)
Where
for 3.3 VOUT, R6 = 26.7 kΩ
Using the values in this application, Kfb = 11.4 dB.
The modulator has a gain of 10 that is flat to well beyond 35 kHz, so KPWM = 20 dB.
To achieve 0 db overall gain, the amplifier and feedback gain must be set to –7.9 dB (20 dB – 27.9dB).
The amplifier gain, including the feedback gain, Kfb, can be approximated by this expression:

board. The design uses 2-layer, 2-oz copper and is 1.4” x 2.3” in size. All components are mounted on the top
side to allow the user to easily view, probe, and evaluate the TPS40200 control IC in a practical application.
Moving components to both sides of the printed circuit board (PCB) or using additional internal layers can offer

8.2.3 Wide Input Voltage Led Constant Current Driver
This application uses the TPS40200 as a buck controller that drives a string of LED diodes. The feedback point
for this circuit is a sense resistor in series with this string. The low 0.7 V reference minimizes power wasted in
this resistor, and maintains the LED current at a value given by 0.7/RSENSE. As the input voltage is varied, the
duty cycle changes to maintain the LED current at a constant value so that the light intensity does not change
with large input voltage variations.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS40200 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 52 V. This input
supply should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the buck power stage
controlled by the TPS40200, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic-bypass
capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor with a value of 100 uF is a typical choice.

VDD pin of the controller and design the input AC loop consisting of C1-RSENSE-Q1-D1 to be as short as
possible. Excessive high frequency noise on VDD during switching degrades overall regulation as the load
increases.
Keep the output loop A (D1-L1-C2) as small as possible. A larger loop can degrade the application output
noise performance.
Traces carrying large AC currents should NOT be connected through a ground plane. Instead, use PCB
traces on the top layer to conduct the AC current and use the ground plane as a noise shield. Split the ground
plane as necessary to keep noise away from the TPS40200 and noise sensitive areas such as feedback
resistors R6, and R10.
Keep the SW node as physically small as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance and to minimize radiated
emissions.
For good output voltage regulation, Kelvin connections should be brought from the load to R6 and R10.
The trace from the R6-R10 junction to the TPS40200 should be short and kept away from any noise source
(such as the SW node).
The gate drive trace should be as close as possible to the power FET gate.
