SLUSAF8E – JULY 2011 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
TPS40322 Dual Output or Two-Phase Synchronous Buck Controller
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS40322 device is a dual-output, synchronous
buck controller. It can also be configured as a singleoutput, two-phase controller. The 180° out-of-phase
operation reduces the input current ripple and
extends the input capacitor lifetime. Bidirectional
master and slave synchronization function provides
evenly distributed phase shift for a four-output system
that reduces input ripple further and attenuates the
system noise.

Available in 5-mm × 5-mm 32-Pin VQFN Package
The wide input range can support 3.3-V, 5-V, and
12-V buses. The accurate reference voltage satisfies
the precision voltage needed by ASICs and
potentially
reduces
the
output
capacitance
requirement. Separate PGOOD signals provide
flexibility for system monitoring and sequencing. The
two channels are independently controlled and each
soft-start time is programmable. Voltage mode control
is implemented to reduce noise sensitivity and also
ensures low duty ratio conversion.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS40322 is a flexible synchronous buck controller. It can be used as a dual-output controller, or as a twophase, single-output controller. It operates with a wide input range from 3 V to 20 V and can generate an
accurate regulated output as low as 600 mV.
In dual output mode, voltage mode control with input feedforward architecture is implemented. With this
architecture, the benefits are less noise sensitivity, no control instability issues for small DCR applications, and a
smaller minimum controllable on-time, often desired for high conversion ratio applications.
In two-phase, single-output mode, a current-sharing loop is implemented to ensure a balance of current between
phases. Because the induced error current signal to the loop is much smaller when compared to the PWM ramp
amplitude, the control loop is modeled as voltage mode with input feedforward.
DESIGN NOTE
When the device is operating in dual output mode, DIFFO must be floating or tied to BP6.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Voltage Reference
The 600-mV band gap cell is internally connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. The reference
voltage is trimmed with the error amplifier in a unity gain configuration to remove amplifier offset from the final
regulation voltage. The 0.5% tolerance on the reference voltage allows the user to design a very accurate power
supply.
7.3.2 Output Voltage Setting
The output voltages of the TPS40322 are set by using external feedback resistor dividers as shown in Figure 15.
The regulated output voltage (VOUT) is determined by Equation 1.

7.3.3 Input Voltage Feedforward
The TPS40322 uses input voltage feedforward to maintain a constant power stage gain as the input voltage
varies and provides very good response to input voltage transient disturbances. The simple constant power
stage gain of the controller greatly simplifies feedback loop design because the loop characteristics remain
constant as the input voltage changes, unlike a typical buck converter without voltage feedforward. For modeling
purposes, the gain from the COMP pin to the average voltage at the input of the L-C filter is typically 8.5 V/V.

7.3.4 Current Sensing
The TPS40322 uses a differential current sense design to sense the output current. The sense element can be
the series resistance of the power stage filter inductor or a separate current sense resistor. When using the
inductor series resistance as shown in Figure 16, an R-C filter must be used to remove the large AC component
voltage across the inductor so that only the component of the voltage that remains is across the resistance of the
inductor (see Figure 16).
The values of R1 and C1 for an ideal design can be calculated using Equation 2. The time constant of the R-C
filter must equal the time constant of the inductor itself. If the time constants are equal, the voltage across C1
equals the current in the inductor multiplied by the inductor resistance. The inductor ripple current is reflected in
the voltage across C1. Typically a capacitor with a value of 0.1-µF is recommended for C1.
Refer to the Layout section for proper placement of the sensing elements.

7.3.5 Overcurrent Protection
The TPS40322 has dedicated ILIM pins for each channel for use when operating in dual-output mode. When
operating in two-phase mode, both channels share the same overcurrent level set by ILIM1. The overcurrent
level is set with a resistor connected from the ILIMx pin to analog ground. The sensed current signal is amplified
by the CS amplifier with a gain of 15, and then compared with the established overcurrent level to determine if
there is an OC fault. This design is shown in Figure 17.

The TPS40322 implements cycle-by-cycle current limit when the inductor peak current has exceeded the set
limit. When the controller counts three consecutive clock cycles of an overcurrent condition, the high-side and
low-side MOSFETs are turned off and the controller enters a hiccup mode. After six soft-start cycles, normal
switching is attempted. If the overcurrent has cleared, normal operation resumes, otherwise the sequence
repeats.

7.3.6 Two-Phase Mode, Remote Sense Amplifier, and Current Sharing Loop
The TPS40322 can be configured to operate in single-output, two-phase mode for high-current applications. With
proper selection of the external MOSFETs, this device can support up to 50-A of load current in a two-phase
configuration. As shown in Figure 18, to configure the TPS40322 for two-phase mode, FB2 is tied to BP6. In this
mode, COMP1 must be connected to COMP2 to ensure current sharing between the two phases. For highcurrent applications, the remote sense amplifier is used to compensate for the parasitic offset to provide an
accurate output voltage. The EN2/SS2 and ILIM2 pins are designed for multiple functions. They are used as
VSNS and GSNS for remote sensing in two-phase mode. DIFFO, which is the output of the remote sensing
amplifier, is connected to the resistor divider of the feedback network.
Note that BP6 powers the remote sense amplifier. The DIFFO voltage must be 0.2-V lower than the BP6 voltage
under all conditions. If BP6 is lower than DIFFO voltage, the converter loses regulation. To ensure no regulation
loss, use a remote sense amplifier when the application output voltage is lower than 2.2 V. For an application in
which the output voltage is higher than 2.2 V, the remote sense amplifier can be bypassed and the voltage
output can be connected to the feedback resistor divider directly.

When the device operates in two-phase mode, a current sharing loop as shown in Figure 19 is designed to
maintain the current balance between phases. Both phases share the same comparator voltage (COMP1). The
sensed current from each phase is compared first in a current share block, then each signal is summed with
COMP. The resulted error voltage is compared with the voltage ramp to generate the PWM pulse for each
channel.

7.3.7 Start-Up and Shutdown
7.3.7.1 Start-Up Sequence
When the ENx/SSx pin is pulled below 0.3 V, the respective channel is disabled. When ENx/SSx is released, the
controller starts automatically and an internal 40-µA current source begins to charge the external soft-start
capacitor. When the voltage across the soft-start capacitor is over 0.7 V, the internal BP regulator is enabled.
The ENx/SSx voltage is clamped to 1.3 V while waiting for signals indicating that BP6, VDD, and the oscillator
clock are good. After all the signals are confirmed, ENx/SSx is discharged to 0.4 V with a 140-µA current source,
and then charged again with the internal 10-µA current source. The operation is described by the waveform
shown in Figure 20. VSS_INT is an internal signal level shifted from ENx/SSx and then connected to the noninverting terminal of the error amplifier.

Time
Figure 20. EN/SS Start-Up Waveform
The soft-start time is determined by the internal charge current and the external capacitance. The actual output
ramp-up time is the time for the internal current source to charge the capacitor through a 600-mV range. There is
some initial lag time due to the offset (800 mV typical) from the actual ENx/SSx pin voltage to VSS_INT. The softstart sequence takes place in a closed loop fashion, meaning that the error amplifier controls the output voltage
constantly during the soft-start period and the feedback loop is never open (as occurs in duty cycle limit soft-start
designs). The error amplifier has two non-inverting inputs, one connected to the 600-mV reference voltage, and
the other connected to the offset VSS_INT. The error amplifier controls the FB pin to the lower of these two
voltages. As the voltage on the ENx/SSx pin ramps up past approximately 1.4 V (800-mV offset voltage plus the
600-mV reference voltage), the 600-mV reference voltage becomes the dominant input and the converter has
reached its final regulation voltage.
Equation 4 is the calculation for soft-start capacitance.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.7.2 Prebiased Output Start-Up
The TPS40322 contains a circuit that prevents current from being pulled from the output during the start-up
sequence in a pre-biased output condition. There are no PWM pulses until the internal soft-start voltage rises
above the error amplifier input (FBx pin), if the output is pre-biased. Once the soft-start voltage exceeds the error
amplifier input, the device slowly initiates synchronous rectification by starting the synchronous rectifier with a
narrow on-time. It then increments that on-time on a cycle-by-cycle basis until it coincides with the time dictated
by (1-D), where D is the duty cycle of the converter. This approach prevents the sinking of current from a prebiased output, and ensures the output voltage start-up and ramp-to-regulation sequences are smooth and
controlled.
DESIGN NOTE
During the soft-start sequence, when the PWM pulse width is shorter than the minimum
controllable on-time, which is generally caused by the PWM comparator and gate driver
delays, pulse skipping may occur and the output might show larger ripple voltage.
7.3.7.3 Shutdown
During the shutdown sequence, BP6 is controlled by ENx/SSx. If both of ENx/SSx pins are pulled low, BP6 is
turned off regardless of the input voltage remaining higher than the programmed UVLO threshold.
7.3.8 Switching Frequency and Master or Slave Synchronization
The switching frequency is set by the value of the resistor connected from the RT pin to AGND. The RT resistor
value is calculated in Equation 5.

RRT is the the resistor from RT pin to AGND, in Ω

The TPS40322 device can also synchronize to an external clock that is ±20% of the master clock frequency
which is two times the free running frequency. Each TPS40322 can be set by the PHSET pin as either master or
slave. The master produces a 50% duty cycle clock to the slave. The slave synchronizes to the external clock
with 50% duty cycle and selects the phase shift angle as shown in Table 1.
Figure 21 shows an example of synchronizing two TPS40322 devices to generate an evenly distributed shift to
reduce input ripple.

7.3.9 Overvoltage and Undervoltage Fault Protection
The TPS40322 has output overvoltage protection and undervoltage protection capability. The comparators that
regulate the overvoltage and undervoltage conditions use the FBx pin as the output sensing point so the filtering
effect of the compensation network connected from COMPx to FBx has an effect on the speed of detection. As
the output voltage rises or falls below the nominal value, the error amplifier attempts to force FBx to match its
reference voltage. When the error amplifier is no longer able to do this, the FB pin begins to drift and trip the
overvoltage threshold (VOVP) or the undervoltage threshold (VUVP) as described in the Electrical Characteristics
table.
When an undervoltage fault is detected, the TPS40322 enters hiccup mode and resumes normal operation when
the fault is cleared.
When an overvoltage fault is detected, the TPS40322 turns off the high-side MOSFET and latches on the lowside MOSFET to discharge the output current to the regulation level (within the Power Good window).
When operating in dual-channel mode, both channels have identical yet independent protection schemes, which
means one channel is not affected when the other channel is in fault mode.
When operating in two-phase mode, only the FB1 pin is detected for overvoltage and undervoltage fault.
Therefore both channels take action together during a fault.
7.3.10 Input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
A dedicated UVLO pin allows the user to program the desired input turn-on threshold voltage. The diagram is
shown in Figure 22. The desired input turn-on threshold can be calculated using Equation 6. The input turn off
hysteresis can be calculated using Equation 7.

7.3.11 Power Good
The TPS40322 provides an indication that output is good for each channel. This is an open-drain signal that pulls
low when any condition exists that would indicate that the output of the supply might be out of regulation. These
conditions include:
• Feedback voltage (VFB) is more than ±12.5% from nominal
• Soft-start is active
7.3.12 Thermal Shutdown
If the junction temperature of the device reaches the thermal shutdown limit of 150°C, the PWMs and the
oscillators are turned off and HDRVs and LDRVs are driven low. When the junction cools to the required level
(130°C typical), the PWM initiates soft start as during a normal power-up cycle.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
At dual-output configuration, EN1/SS1 and EN2/SS2/GSNS pins are used to enable or disable switching of
channel 1 and channel 2, respectively. Floating the pin turns the channel on, pulling the pin low turns the channel
off. At two-phase configuration, EN1/SS1 pin is used to enable and disable switching of both channels.

8.2.1.2.1 Selecting a Switching Frequency
To maintain acceptable efficiency and meet minimum on-time requirements, a 500-kHz switching frequency is
selected.
8.2.1.2.2 Inductor Selection (L1)
Synchronous BUCK power inductors are typically sized for approximately 20%–40% peak-to-peak ripple current
(IRIPPLE). Given a target ripple current of 30%, the required inductor size, at maximum rated output current, can
be calculated using Equation 8.

Selecting a standard, readily available inductor, with a rated inductance is 0.88 µH at 10 A, IRIPPLE1 = 2.5 A.
The RMS current through the inductor is approximated by the equation:

8.2.1.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection (C10 through C16)
The selection of the output capacitor is typically driven by the output transient response requirement. Equation 10
and Equation 11 over-estimate the voltage deviation to account for delays in the loop bandwidth and can be used
to determine the required output capacitance:

When VIN(min) > 2 x VOUT1, use the overshoot equation, VOVER1, to calculate minimum output capacitance. When
VIN(min) < 2 x VOUT1 use Equation 11, VUNDER1, to calculate minimum output capacitance. In this design example,
VIN(min) is much larger than 2 x VOUT1 so Equation 12 is used to determine the required minimum output
capacitance.

Two 220-µF, 4-V, aluminum electrolytic capacitors were chosen for load response requirements. Additionally two
0805 10-µF, X7R, along with two 0603, 3.3-µF X5R, and one 1-µF, X5R ceramic capacitors are selected for low
ESR and high frequency decoupling.
8.2.1.2.4 Peak Current Rating of Inductor
With the output capacitance known, it is possible to calculate the charge current during start-up and determine
the minimum saturation current rating for the inductor. The start-up charging current is approximated using
Equation 14.

A 744314110 from Wurth Electronics with 1.1-µH zero current inductance is selected. Inductance for this part is

package.
8.2.1.2.5 Input Capacitor Selection (C3 through C6)
The input voltage ripple is divided between the capacitance and ESR of the input capacitor. For this design
VRIPPLE(cap) = 200 mV and VRIPPLE(esr) = 50 mV. The minimum capacitance and maximum ESR are estimated
using Equation 16.

To achieve these goals, two 0805, 10-µF capacitors, one 0605, 1.0-µF capacitor and one 0402, 0.1-µF X5R
ceramic capacitor are combined at the input.
8.2.1.2.6 MOSFET Selection (Q1)
Texas Instruments CSD86330, 20-A power block device was chosen. This device incorporates the high-side and
low-side MOSFETs in a single 3 mm x 3 mm package. The high-side MOSFET has an on-resistance (RDS(on)) of
8.8 mΩ, while the low-side on-resistance (RDS(on)) is 4.6 mΩ, both at 4.5 V gate voltage. A 5.11-Ω gate resistor is
used on the HDRV pin on each device for added noise immunity.
8.2.1.2.7 ILIM Resistor (R2)
The output current is sensed across the DCR of the L1 output inductor. An RC combination having a time
constant equal to that of the L1 inductance and the DCR is used to extract the current information as a voltage. A
standard capacitor value of 0.1-µF is used. The resistor, R13, can be calculated using Equation 20.

A standard 3.09-kΩ resistor was selected.
This design limits the maximum voltage drop across the current sense inputs, VCS(max), to 50 mV. If the voltage
drop across the DCR of the inductor is greater than VCS(max), after allowing for 20% overshoot spikes and a 20%
variation in the DCR value, then a resistor is added to divide the voltage down to 50 mV. The divider resistor,
R15, is calculated by Equation 21.

Figure 28 shows the switching waveform, VIN = 12 V, IOUT1 = IOUT2 = 10 A, Ch.1 = HDRV1, Ch.2 = LDRV1, Ch.3
= VOUT1 ripple. The high-frequency noise is caused by parasitic inductive and capacitive elements interacting
with the high energy, rapidly switching power elements resulting in ringing at the transition points. Capacitive
filtering at the load input will successfully attenuate these noise spikes.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply between 3 V and 20 V. There is also input
voltage and switch node limitation from MOSFET. The proper bypassing of input supplies is critical for noise
performance. See the particular MOSFET data sheet that pertains to the end application for more information.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Power Stage
A synchronous BUCK power stage has two primary current loops. The input current loop carries high AC
discontinuous current while the output current loop carries high DC continuous current. The input current loop
includes the input capacitors, the main switching MOSFET, the inductor, the output capacitors and the ground
path back to the input capacitors. To maintain the loop as small as possible, it is generally good practice to place
some ceramic capacitance directly between the drain of the main switching MOSFET and the source of the
synchronous rectifier (SR) through a power ground plane directly under the MOSFETs. The output current loop
includes the SR MOSFET, the inductor, the output capacitors, and the ground return between the output
capacitors and the source of the SR MOSFET. As with the input current loop, the ground return between the
output capacitor ground and the source of the SR MOSFET must be routed under the inductor and SR MOSFET
to minimize the power loop area. The SW node area must be as small as possible to reduce the parasitic
capacitance and minimize the radiated emissions. The gate drive loop impedance (HDRV-gate-source-SW and
LDRV-gate-source- GND) must be kept to as low as possible. The HDRV and LDRV connections must widen to
20 mils as soon as possible out from the device pin.
10.1.2 Device Peripheral
The TPS40322 provides separate signal ground (AGND) and power ground (PGND1 and PGND2) pins. It is
required to properly separate the circuit grounds. The return path for the pins associated with the power stage
must be through PGND. The other pins (especially for those sensitive pins such as FB1, FB2, RT, ILIM1, and
ILIM2) must be through the low noise AGND. The AGND and PGND planes are suggested to be connected at
the output capacitor with single 20-mil trace. A minimum 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor must be placed as close to the
VDD pin and AGND as possible with at least 15-mil wide trace from the bypass capacitor to the AGND. A
minimum value of 3.3-µF ceramic capacitor must be connected from BP6 to PGND, placed as close to the BP6
pin as possible. When DCR sensing method is applied, the sensing resistor must be placed close to the SW
node and connected to the inductor with a kelvin connection. The sensing traces from the power stage to the
chip must be away from the switching components. The sensing capacitor must be placed very close to the CS+
and CS- pins for each output. The frequency setting resistor must be placed as close to RT pin and AGND as
possible. In two-phase mode, the ILIM2/VSNS and EN2/SS2/GSNS pins must be directly connected to the point
of load where the voltage regulation is required. A parallel pair of 10-mil traces connects the regulated voltage
back to the chip. They must be away from the switching components.
10.1.3 Thermal Pad Layout
The Thermal pad package provides low thermal impedance for heat removal from the device. The Thermal pad
derives its name and low thermal impedance from the large bonding pad on the bottom of the device. The circuit
board must have an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the package. The dimensions of this area depend
on the size of the Thermal pad package.
Thermal vias connect this area to internal or external copper planes and must have a drill diameter sufficiently
small so that the via hole is effectively plugged when the barrel of the via is plated with copper. This plug is
needed to prevent wicking the solder away from the interface between the package body and the solder-tinned
area under the device during solder reflow. Drill diameters of 0.33 mm (13 mils) works well when 1-oz. copper is
plated at the surface of the board while simultaneously plating the barrel of the via. If the thermal vias are not
plugged when the copper plating is performed, then a solder mask material must be used to cap the vias with a
diameter equal to the via diameter plus 0.1 mm minimum. This capping prevents the solder from being wicked
through the thermal vias and potentially creating a solder void under the package.

10.3 Mounting and Thermal Profile Recommendation
Proper mounting technique adequately covers the exposed thermal tab with solder. Excessive heat during the
reflow process can affect electrical performance. Figure 34 shows the recommended reflow oven thermal profile.
Proper post-assembly cleaning is also critical to device performance. See SLUA271 for more information.
