3 Description
The TPS43330A-Q1 device includes two currentmode synchronous-buck controllers and a voltagemode boost controller. The device is ideally suited as
a pre-regulator stage with low IQ requirements and for
applications that must survive supply drops due to
cranking events. The integrated boost controller
allows the device to operate down to 2 V at the input
without seeing a drop on the buck regulator output
stages. At light loads, the buck controllers enable to
operate automatically in low-power mode, consuming
just 30 µA of quiescent current.
The buck controllers have independent soft-start
capability and power-good indicators. Current
foldback in the buck controllers and cycle-by-cycle
current limitation in the boost controller provide
external MOSFET protection. The switching
frequency is programable over 150 to 600 kHz or is
synchronized to an external clock in the same range.

Pin Functions (continued)
PIN
NAME
NO.
I/O
DESCRIPTION
COMPC
18
O
Error-amplifier output and loop-compensation node of the boost regulator
DIV
36
I
The status of this pin defines the output voltage of the boost regulator. A high input regulates the boost converter
at 8.85 V, a low input sets the value at 7 V, and a floating pin sets 10 V. NOTE: DIV = high and ENC = high
inhibits low-power mode on the bucks.
DLYAB
21
O
The capacitor at the DLYAB pin sets the power-good delay interval used to de-glitch the outputs of the powergood comparators. Leaving this pin open sets the power-good delay to an internal default value of 20 µs typical.
DS
2
I
This input monitors the voltage on the external boost-converter low-side MOSFET for overcurrent protection. An
alternative connection for better noise immunity is to a sense resistor between the source of the low-side
MOSFET and ground via a filter network.
I
Enable input for BuckA (active-high with an internal pullup current source). An input voltage higher than 1.7 V
enables the controller, whereas an input voltage lower than 0.7 V disables the controller. When both ENA and
ENB are low, the device shuts down and consumes less than 4 µA of current. NOTE: DIV = high and ENC = high
inhibits low-power mode on the bucks.
I
Enable input for BuckB (active-high with an internal pullup current source). An input voltage higher than 1.7 V
enables the controller, whereas an input voltage lower than 0.7 V disables the controller. When both ENA and
ENB are low, the device shuts down and consumes less than 4 µA of current. NOTE: DIV = high and ENC = high
inhibits low-power mode on the bucks.
ENA
16
ENB
17
ENC
19
I
This input enables and disables the boost regulator. An input voltage higher than 1.7 V enables the controller.
Voltages lower than 0.7 V disable the controller. Because this pin provides an internal pulldown resistor (500 kΩ),
enabling the boost function requires pulling it high. When enabled, the controller starts switching as soon as VBAT
falls below the boost threshold, depending upon the programmed output voltage.
EXTSUP
37
I
One can use EXTSUP to supply the VREG regulator from one of the TPS43330A-Q1 buck regulator rails to
reduce power dissipation in cases where there is an expectation of high VIN. If EXTSUP is unused, leave the pin
open without a capacitor installed.
FBA
12
I
Feedback voltage pin for BuckA. The buck controller regulates the feedback voltage to the internal reference of
0.8 V. A suitable resistor divider network between the buck output and the feedback pin sets the desired output
voltage.
FBB
27
I
Feedback voltage pin for BuckB. The buck controller regulates the feedback voltage to the internal reference of
0.8 V. A suitable resistor-divider network between the buck output and the feedback pin sets the desired output
voltage.
GA1

O
This output drives the external high-side N-channel MOSFET for buck regulator BuckA. The output provides high
peak currents to drive capacitive loads. The gate-drive reference is to a floating ground provided by PHA that has
a voltage swing provided by CBA.
GA2
8
O
This output drives the external low-side N-channel MOSFET for buck regulator BuckA. The output provides high
peak currents to drive capacitive loads. VREG provides the voltage swing on this pin.
GB1
33
O
This output drives the external high-side N-channel MOSFET for buck regulator BuckB. The output provides high
peak currents to drive capacitive loads. The gate-drive reference is to a floating ground provided by PHB that has
a voltage swing provided by CBB.
GB2
31
O
This output drives the external low-side N-channel MOSFET for buck regulator BuckB. The output provides high
peak currents to drive capacitive loads. VREG provides the voltage swing on this pin.
GC1
3
O
This output drives an external low-side N-channel MOSFET for the boost regulator. This output provides high
peak currents to drive capacitive loads. VREG provides the voltage swing on this pin.
GC2
4
O
This pin makes a floating output drive available to control the external P-channel MOSFET. This MOSFET
bypasses the boost rectifier diode or a reverse-protection diode when the boost status is non-switching or
disabled, and thus reduce power losses.
PGA
15
O
Open-drain power-good indicator pin for BuckA. An internal power-good comparator monitors the voltage at the
feedback pin and pulls this output low when the output voltage falls below 93% of the set value, or if either VIN or
VBAT drops below the respective undervoltage threshold.
PGB
24
O
Open-drain power-good indicator pin for BuckB. An internal power-good comparator monitors the voltage at the
feedback pin and pulls this output low when the output voltage falls below 93% of the set value, or if either VIN or
VBAT drops below the respective undervoltage threshold.

Soft-start or tracking input for buck controller BuckA. The buck controller regulates the FBA voltage to the lower of
0.8 V or the SSA pin voltage. An internal pullup current source of 50 µA is present at the pin, and an appropriate
capacitor connected here sets the soft-start ramp interval. Alternatively, a resistor divider connected to another
supply provides a tracking input to this pin.
SSB
25
O
Soft-start or tracking input for buck controller BuckB. The buck controller regulates the FBB voltage to the lower of
0.8 V or the SSB pin voltage. An internal pullup current source of 50 µA is present at the pin, and an appropriate
capacitor connected here sets the soft-start ramp interval. Alternatively, a resistor divider connected to another
supply provides a tracking input to this pin.
SYNC
20
I
If an external clock is present on this pin, the device detects it and the internal PLL locks onto the external clock,
overriding the internal oscillator frequency. The device synchronizes frequencies from 150 to 600 kHz. A high-logic
level on this pin ensures forced continuous-mode operation of the buck controllers and inhibits transition to lowpower mode. An open or low allows discontinuous-mode operation and entry into low-power mode at light loads.
VBAT
1
Battery input sense for the boost controller. If, with the boost controller enabled, the voltage at VBAT falls below
PWR the boost threshold, the device activates the boost controller and regulates the voltage at VIN to the programmed
boost output voltage.

High-impedance differential-voltage inputs from the current-sense element (sense resistor or inductor DCR) for
BuckA. Choose the current-sense element to set the maximum current through the inductor based on the currentlimit threshold (subject to tolerances) and considering the typical characteristics across duty cycle and VIN. (SA1
positive node, SA2 negative node).
High-impedance differential voltage inputs from the current-sense element (sense resistor or inductor DCR) for
BuckB. Choose the current-sense element to set the maximum current through the inductor based on the currentlimit threshold (subject to tolerances) and considering the typical characteristics across duty cycle and VIN. (SB1
positive node, SB2 negative node).
Main Input pin. VIN is the buck-controller input pin as well as the output of the boost regulator. Additionally, VIN
powers the internal control circuits of the device.
The device requires an external capacitor on this pin to provide a regulated supply for the gate drivers of the buck
and boost controllers. TI recommends capacitance on the order of 4.7 µF. The regulator obtains power from either
VIN or EXTSUP. This pin has current-limit protection; do not use it to drive any other loads.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining RθJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS43330A-Q1 includes two current-mode synchronous-buck controllers and a voltage-mode boost
controller. The device is ideally suited as a preregulator stage with low IQ requirements and for applications that
must operate during supply drops due to cranking events. The integrated boost controller allows the device to
operate down to 2 V at the input without seeing a drop on the buck regulator output stages. At light loads, the
buck controllers enable to operate automatically in low-power mode, consuming just 30 μA of quiescent current.
The buck controllers have independent soft-start capability and power-good indicators. Current foldback in the
buck controllers and cycle-by-cycle current limitation in the boost controller provide external MOSFET protection.
The switching frequency is programable over 150 kHz to 600 kHz or is synchronized to an external clock in the
same range.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Boost Controller
The boost controller has a fixed-frequency voltage-mode architecture and includes cycle-by-cycle current-limit
protection for the external N-channel MOSFET. The boost-controller switching-frequency setting is one-half of the
buck-controller switching frequency. An internal resistor-divider network programmable to 7 V, 8.85 V, or 10 V
sets the output voltage of the boost controller at the VIN pin, based on the low, open, or high status, respectively,
of the DIV pin (see Table 1). The device does not recognize a change of the DIV setting while in the low-power
mode.
Table 1. Output Voltage Settings
DIV SETTING
BOOST OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Low
7V
Open
8.85 V
High
10 V
The active-high ENC pin enables the boost controller, which is active when the input voltage at the VBAT pin has
crossed the boost unlock threshold (VBOOST_UNLOCK) of 8.5 V at least once. A single high-to-low transition of
VBAT below the boost-enable threshold (Vboost(x)-th) arms the boost controller, which starts switching as soon as
VIN falls below the value set by the DIV pin, regulating the VIN voltage. Thus, the boost regulator maintains a
stable input voltage for the buck regulators during transient events such as a cranking pulse at VBAT.
A voltage at the DS pin exceeding 200 mV pulls the GC1 pin low, turning off the boost external MOSFET.
Connecting the DS pin to the drain of the MOSFET or to a sense resistor between the MOSFET source and
ground achieves cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection for the MOSFET. Choose the ON-resistance of the
MOSFET or the value of the sense resistor in such a way that the ON-state voltage at DS does not exceed
200 mV at the maximum-load and minimum-input-voltage conditions. When using a sense resistor, TI
recommends connecting a filter network between the DS pin and the sense resistor for better noise immunity.
The boost output (VIN) supplies other circuits in the system; however, they should be high-voltage tolerant. The
device regulates the boost output to the programmed value only when VBAT is low, and so VIN reaches battery
levels.

(5.8 V typical) is on the VREG pin and requires decoupling with a ceramic capacitor in the range of 3.3 to 10 µF.
This pin has internal current-limit protection; do not use it to power any other circuits.
NOTE
VREG is not powered if no regulator is enabled, therefore it is not suitable to enable the
regulators.
VIN powers the VREG linear regulator by default when the EXTSUP voltage is lower than 4.6 V (typical). If there
is an expectation of VIN going to high levels, an excessive power dissipation occurs in this regulator, especially at
high switching frequencies and when using large external MOSFETs. In this case, powering this regulator from
the EXTSUP pin, which has a connection to a supply lower than VIN but high enough to provide the gate drive, is
advantageous. When the voltage on EXTSUP is greater than 4.6 V, the linear regulator automatically switches to
EXTSUP as its input, to provide this advantage. Efficiency improvements are possible when using one of the
switching regulator rails from the TPS43330A-Q1 or any other voltage available in the system to power EXTSUP.
The maximum voltage for application to EXTSUP is 9 V.

SLVSC16B – AUGUST 2013 – REVISED JULY 2016
Using a voltage above 5.8 V (sourced by VIN) for EXTSUP is advantageous, as this voltage provides a large
gate drive and hence better ON-resistance of the external MOSFETs.
During low-power mode, the EXTSUP functionality is unavailable. The internal regulator operates as a shunt
regulator powered from VIN and has a typical value of 7.5 V. Current-limit protection for VREG is available in
low-power mode as well. If EXTSUP is unused, leave the pin open without a capacitor installed.
7.3.3 External P-Channel Drive (GC2) and Reverse Battery Protection
The TPS43330A-Q1 includes a gate driver for an external P-channel MOSFET which can connect across the
rectifier diode of the boost regulator. Such connection is useful to reduce power losses when the boost controller
is not switching. The gate driver provides a swing of 6 V typical below the VIN voltage in order to drive a Pchannel MOSFET. When VBAT falls below the boost-enable threshold, the gate driver turns off the P-channel
MOSFET, eliminating the diode bypass.
Another use for the gate driver is to bypass any additional protection diodes connected in series, as shown in
Figure 21.
The bypass-design should be chosen with the following considerations in mind:
• The FETs must have a current-rating to support the maximum output power at minimum voltage (before
Boost gets activated, typically 1 V above the set boost-voltage). The FETs' drain-source voltage also must
support the worst-case transients on VBAT, potentially causing a reverse voltage due to capacitors on the
source.
• The Zener diode protects the FET against an excessive gate-source voltage. Typically a rating of
approximately 7.5 V is suitable.
• The resistor limits the current to the FET and over the diode. Considering the deep boost mode and a high
boost-output voltage, up to 9 V may be present between GC2 and VBAT, reduced by the Zener voltage. As
GC2 has a drive capability of 10 mA, the current must be limited by a series resistance of about 1 kΩ
(depending on VBAT(min), V(boost) and Zener voltage).

Figure 22 also shows a different scheme of reverse battery protection, which may require only a smaller-sized
diode to protect the N-channel MOSFET, as the diode conducts only for a part of the switching cycle. Because
the diode is not always in the series path, the system efficiency can be improved.
NOTE

7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout and Overvoltage Protection
The TPS43330A-Q1 starts up at a VIN voltage of 6.5 V (minimum), required for the internal supply (VREG). Once
the device starts up, it operates down to a VIN voltage of 3.6 V; below this voltage level, the undervoltage lockout
disables the device.
NOTE
If VIN drops, VREG drops as well which reduces the gate-drive voltage, whereas the digital
logic is fully functional. Even if ENC is high, there is a requirement to exceed the boostunlock voltage of typically 8.5 V once, before boost activation takes place (see Boost
Controller).
A voltage of 46 V at VIN triggers the overvoltage comparator, which shuts down the device. In order to prevent
transient spikes from shutting down the device, the undervoltage and overvoltage protection have filter times of
5 µs (typical).
When the voltages return to the normal-operating region, the enabled switching regulators start including a new
soft-start ramp for the buck regulators.
With the boost controller enabled, a voltage less than 1.9 V (typical) on VBAT triggers an undervoltage lockout
and pulls the boost-gate driver (GC1) low (this action has a filter delay of 5 µs, typical). As a result, VIN falls at a
rate dependent on the capacitor and load, eventually triggering VIN undervoltage. A short-falling transient at
VBAT even lower than 2 V thus survives if VBAT returns above 2.5 V before VIN discharges to the undervoltage
threshold.
7.3.5 Thermal Protection
The TPS43330A-Q1 protects from overheating using an internal thermal-shutdown circuit. If the die temperature
exceeds the thermal-shutdown threshold of 165ºC due to excessive power dissipation (for example, due to fault
conditions such as a short circuit at the gate drivers or VREG), the controllers turn off and then restart when the
temperature falls by 15ºC.

7.4.1 Buck Controllers: Normal Mode PWM Operation
7.4.1.1 Frequency Selection and External Synchronization
The buck controllers operate using constant-frequency peak-current-mode control for optimal transient behavior
and ease of component choices. The switching frequency is programmable between 150 kHz and 600 kHz,
depending upon the resistor value at the RT pin. A short-circuit to ground or a high impedance (open) at this pin
sets the default switching frequency to 400 kHz. Using a resistor at RT, set another frequency according to
Equation 1.

(X = 24 kW ´ MHz)
RT
fSW = 24 ´

RT
(1)
For example,
600 kHz requires 40 kΩ
150 kHz requires 160 kΩ
Synchronizing to an external clock at the SYNC pin in the same frequency range of 150 kHz to 600 kHz is also
possible. The device detects clock pulses at this pin, and an internal PLL locks on to the external clock within the
specified range. The device also detects a loss of clock at this pin, and on detection of this condition, the device
sets the switching frequency to the internal oscillator. The two buck controllers operate at identical switching
frequencies, 180 degrees out-of-phase.

7.4.1.2 Enable Inputs
Independent enable inputs from the ENA and ENB pins enable the buck controllers. These are high-voltage pins,
with a threshold of 1.7 V for the high level, and with which direct connection to the battery is permissible for selfbias. The low threshold is 0.7 V. These pins have internal pullup currents of 0.5 µA (typical). As a result, an open
circuit on these pins enables the respective buck controllers. When both buck controllers are disabled, the device
shuts down and consumes a current of less than 4 µA.
7.4.1.3 Feedback Inputs
The resistor-feedback divider network connected to the FBx (feedback) pins sets the output voltage. Choose this
network such that the regulated voltage at the FBx pin equals 0.8 V. The FBx pins have a 100-nA pullup current
source as a protection feature in case the pins open up as a result of physical damage.
7.4.1.4 Soft-Start Inputs
In order to avoid large inrush currents, each buck controller has an independent programmable soft-start timer.
The voltage at the SSx pin acts as the soft-start reference voltage. The 1-µA pullup current available at the SSx
pins, in combination with a suitably chosen capacitor, generates a ramp of the desired soft-start speed. After
start-up, the pullup current ensures that SSx is higher than the internal reference of 0.8 V; 0.8 V then becomes
the reference for the buck controllers. Equation 2 calculates the soft-start ramp time:
I SS ´ Dt
CSS =
(Farads)
DV
where,
•
•
•
ISS = 50 µA (typical)
∆V = 0.8 V
CSS is the required capacitor for ∆t, the desired soft-start time
(2)
An alternative use of the soft-start pins is as tracking inputs. In this case, connect them to the supply to be
tracked through a suitable resistor-divider network.
7.4.1.5 Current-Mode Operation
Peak-current-mode control regulates the peak current through the inductor to maintain the output voltage at the
set value. The error between the feedback voltage at FBx and the internal reference produces a signal at the
output of the error amplifier (COMPx) which serves as the target for the peak inductor current. The device
senses the current through the inductor as a differential voltage at Sx1–Sx2 and compares voltage with this
target during each cycle. A fall or rise in load current produces a rise or fall in voltage at FBx, causing VCOMPx to
fall or rise respectively, thus increasing or decreasing the current through the inductor until the average current
matches the load. This process maintains the output voltage in regulation.
The top N-channel MOSFET turns on at the beginning of each clock cycle and stays on until the inductor current
reaches the peak value. Once this MOSFET turns off, and after a small delay (shoot-through delay) the lower Nchannel MOSFET turns on until the start of the next clock cycle. In dropout operation, the high-side MOSFET
stays on continuously. In every fourth clock cycle, there is a limit on the duty cycle of 95% in order to charge the
bootstrap capacitor at CBx, which allows a maximum duty cycle of 98.75% for the buck regulators. During
dropout, the buck regulator switches at one-fourth of the normal frequency.
7.4.1.6 Current Sensing and Current Limit With Foldback
Clamping of the maximum value of COMPx limits the maximum current through the inductor to a specified value.
When the output of the buck regulator (and hence the feedback value at FBx) falls to a low value due to a short
circuit or overcurrent condition, the clamped voltage at COMPx successively decreases, thus providing current
foldback protection, which protects the high-side external MOSFET from excess current (forward-direction current
limit).
Similarly, if a fault condition shorts the output to a high voltage and the low-side MOSFET turns fully on, the
COMPx node drops low. A clamp is on the lower end as well in order to limit the maximum current in the low-side
MOSFET (reverse-direction current limit).

SLVSC16B – AUGUST 2013 – REVISED JULY 2016
An external resistor senses the current through the inductor. Choose the sense resistor such that the maximum
forward peak current in the inductor generates a voltage of 75 mV across the sense pins. This specified value is
for low duty cycles only. At typical duty-cycle conditions around 40% (assuming 5-V output and 12-V input),
50 mV is a more reasonable value, considering tolerances and mismatches. The typical characteristics (see
Figure 17) provide a guide for using the correct current-limit sense voltage.
The current-sense pins Sx1 and Sx2 are high-impedance pins with low leakage across the entire output range,
thus allowing DCR current-sensing using the DC resistance of the inductor for higher efficiency. Figure 23 shows
DCR sensing. Here, the series resistance (DCR) of the inductor is the sense element. Place the filter
components close to the device for noise immunity. Remember that while the DCR sensing gives high efficiency,
it is inaccurate due to the temperature sensitivity and a wide variation of the parasitic inductor series resistance.
Hence, using the more-accurate sense resistor for current sensing is advantageous.

7.4.1.8 Power-Good Outputs and Filter Delays
Each buck controller has an independent power-good comparator monitoring the feedback voltage at the FBx
pins and indicating whether the output voltage falls below a specified power-good threshold. This threshold has a
typical value of 93% of the regulated output voltage. The power-good indicator is available as an open-drain
output at the PGx pins. Shutdown of a buck controller causes an internal pulldown of the power-good indicator.
Connecting the pullup resistor to a rail other than the output of that particular buck channel causes a constantcurrent flow through the resistor when the buck controller is powered down.
In order to avoid triggering the power-good indicators due to noise or fast transients on the output voltage, the
device uses an internal delay circuit for de-glitching. Similarly, when the output voltage returns to the set value
after a long negative transient, assertion of the power-good indicator (release of the open-drain pin) occurs after
the same delay. Use of this delay pauses the release of the reset. Program the duration of the delay by using a
suitable capacitor at the DLYAB pin according to Equation 4.

When the DLYAB pin is open, the delay setting is for a default value of 20 µs typical. The power-good delay
timing is common to both the buck rails, but the power-good comparators and indicators function independently.
7.4.1.9 Light-Load PFM Mode
An external clock or a high level on the SYNC pin results in forced continuous-mode operation of the bucks. An
open or low on the SYNC pin allows the buck controllers to operate in discontinuous mode at light loads by
turning off the low-side MOSFET on detection of a zero-crossing in the inductor current.
In discontinuous mode, as the load decreases, the duration when both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs turn
off increases (deep-discontinuous mode). In case the duration exceeds 60% of the clock period and VBAT > 8 V,
the buck controller switches to a low-power operation mode. The design ensures that this switching typically
occurs at 1% of the set full-load current if the choice of the inductor and sense resistor is as recommended in
Slope Compensation.
In low-power PFM mode, the buck monitors the FBx voltage and compares it with the 0.8-V internal reference.
Whenever the FBx value falls below the reference, the high-side MOSFET turns on for a pulse duration inversely
proportional to the difference VIN – Sx2. At the end of this on-time, the high-side MOSFET turns off and the
current in the inductor decays until the current becomes zero. The low-side MOSFET does not turn on. The next
pulse occurs the next time FBx falls below the reference value. This pulsing results in a constant volt-second ton
hysteretic operation with a total device-quiescent current consumption of 30 µA when a single-buck channel is
active and of 35 µA when both channels are active.
As the load increases, the pulses become more and more frequent and move closer to each other until the
current in the inductor becomes continuous. At this point, the buck controller returns to normal fixed-frequency
current-mode control. Another criterion to exit the low-power mode is when VIN falls low enough to require higher
than 80% duty cycle of the high-side MOSFET.
The TPS43330A-Q1 supports the full-current load during low-power mode until the transition to normal mode
takes place. The design ensures that exit of the low-power mode occurs at 10% (typical) of full-load current if the
selection of the inductor and sense resistor is as recommended. Moreover, a hysteresis always exists between
the entry and exit thresholds to avoid oscillating between the two modes.
In the event that both buck controllers are active, low-power mode is only possible when both buck controllers
have light loads that are low enough for low-power mode entry. With the boost controller enabled, low-power
mode is possible only if VBAT is high enough to prevent the boost from switching and if DIV is open or set to
GND. A high (VREG) level on DIV inhibits low-power mode, unless ENC is set to low.

The TPS43330A-Q1 is ideally suited as a pre-regulator stage with low Iq requirements and for applications that
must survive supply drops due to cranking events. The integrated boost controller allows the devices to operate
down to 2 V at the input without seeing a drop on the buck regulator output stages. Below component values and

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Boost Component Selection
A boost converter operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) has a right-half-plane (RHP) zero in its
transfer function. The RHP zero relates inversely to the load current and inductor value and directly to the input
voltage. The RHP zero limits the maximum bandwidth achievable for the boost regulator. If the bandwidth is too
close to the RHP zero frequency, the regulator becomes unstable.
Thus, for high-power systems with low input voltages, choose a low inductor value. A low value increases the
amplitude of the ripple currents in the N-channel MOSFET, the inductor, and the capacitors for the boost
regulator. Select these components with the ripple-to-RHP zero trade-off in mind and considering the power
dissipation effects in the components due to parasitic series resistance.
A boost converter that operates always in the discontinuous mode does not contain the RHP zero in the transfer
function. However, designing for the discontinuous mode demands an even lower inductor value that has high
ripple currents. Also, ensure that the regulator never enters the continuous-conduction mode; otherwise, it
becomes unstable.

Choose a lower value of 4 µH in order to ensure a high RHP-zero frequency while making a compromise that
expects a high current ripple. This inductor selection also makes the boost converter operate in discontinuous
conduction mode, where it is easier to compensate.
The inductor-saturation current must be higher than the peak-inductor current and some percentage higher than
the maximum current-limit value set by the external resistive-sensing element.

modulator at frequency fESR. One can determine these frequencies by Equation 12.

The boost-converter error amplifier (OTA) has a Gm that is proportional to the VBAT voltage, which allows a
constant loop response across the input-voltage range and makes compensation easier by removing the
dependency on VBAT.

Therefore, TI recommends 220 µF with 10-mΩ ESR or a parallel configuration of several capacitors to achieve
such ESR-levels.
8.2.2.12 Output Schottky Diode D1 Selection
Maximizing efficiency requires a Schottky diode with low forward-conducting voltage (VF) over temperature and
fast switching characteristics. The reverse breakdown voltage must be higher than the maximum input voltage,
and the component must have low reverse leakage current. Additionally, the peak forward current must be higher
than the peak inductor current. Equation 17 gives the power dissipation in the Schottky diode:
PD = ID(PEAK) ´ VF ´ (1 - D)
D = 1-

VOUT + VF
= 1-

The times tr and tf denote the rising and falling times of the switching node and relate to the gate-driver strength
of the TPS43330A-Q1 and gate Miller capacitance of the MOSFET. The first term, tr, denotes the conduction
losses, which the low ON-resistance of the MOSFET minimizes. The second term, tf, denotes the transition
losses which arise due to the full application of the input voltage across the drain-source of the MOSFET as it
turns on or off. Transition losses are higher at high output currents and low input voltages (due to the large input
peak current), and when the switching time is low.

NOTE
The ON-resistance, rDS(on), has a positive temperature coefficient, which produces the (TC
= d × ΔT) term that signifies the temperature dependence. (Temperature coefficient d is
available as a normalized value from MOSFET data sheets and has an assumed starting
value of 0.005 per °C.)

tON min is higher than the minimum duty cycle specified (100 ns typical). Hence, the minimum duty cycle is
achievable at this frequency.
8.2.2.14.2 Current-Sense Resistor RSENSE
Based on the typical characteristics for the VSENSE limit with VIN versus duty cycle, the sense limit is
approximately 65 mV (at VIN = 12 V and duty cycle of 5 V / 12 V = 0.416). Allowing for tolerances and ripple
currents, choose a VSENSE maximum of 50 mV.

8.2.2.23 BuckX High-Side and Low-Side N-Channel MOSFETs
An internal supply, which is 5.8 V typical under normal operating conditions, provides the gate-drive supply for
these MOSFETs. The output is a totem pole, allowing full-voltage drive of VREG to the gate with peak output
current of 1.5 A. The reference for the high-side MOSFET is a floating node at the phase terminal (PHx), and the
reference for the low-side MOSFET is the power-ground (PGNDx) terminal. For a particular application, select
these MOSFETs with consideration for the following parameters: rDS(on), gate charge Qg, drain-to-source
breakdown voltage BVDSS, maximum DC current IDC(max), and thermal resistance for the package.

denotes the conduction losses, which are minimimal when the ON-resistance of the MOSFET is low. The second

In addition, during the dead time (td) when both the MOSFETs are off, the body diode of the low-side MOSFET
conducts, increasing the losses. The second term in Equation 49 denotes this dead time. Using external Schottky
diodes in parallel with the low-side MOSFETs of the buck converters helps to reduce this loss.
NOTE
rDS(on) has a positive temperature coefficient, and the TC term for rDS(on) accounts for that
fact. TC = d × ΔT[°C]. The temperature coefficient d is available as a normalized value
from MOSFET data sheets and has an assumed starting value of 0.005 per ºC.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS43330A-Q1 is designed to operate from an input voltage up to 40 V. Ensure that the input supply is well
regulated. Furthermore, if the supply voltage in the application is likely to reach negative voltage (for example,
reverse battery) a forward diode must be placed at the input of the supply. For the VIN pin, a good-quality X7R
ceramic capacitor is recommended. Capacitance derating for aging, temperature, and DC bias must be
considered while determining the capacitor value. Connect a local decoupling capacitor close to the Vreg for
proper filtering. The PowerPAD package, which offers an exposed thermal pad to enhance thermal performance,
must be soldered to the copper landing on the PCB for optimal performance.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Boost Converter
1. The path formed from the input capacitor to the inductor and BOT_SW3 with the low-side current-sense
resistor must have short leads and PC trace lengths. The same applies for the trace from the inductor to
Schottky diode D1 to the COUT1 capacitor. Connect the negative terminal of the input capacitor and the
negative terminal of the sense resistor together with short trace lengths.
2. The overcurrent-sensing shunt resistor requires noise filtering, and the filter capacitor must be close to the IC
pin.
10.1.2 Buck Converter
1. Connect the drain of TOP_SW1 and TOP_SW2 together with the positive terminal of input capacitor COUT1.
The trace length between these terminals must be short.
2. Connect a local decoupling capacitor between the drain of TOP_SWx and the source of BOT_SWx.
3. The Kelvin-current sensing for the shunt resistor has traces with minimum spacing, routed in parallel with
each other. Place any filtering capacitors for noise near the IC pins.
4. The resistor divider for sensing the output voltage connects between the positive terminal of itherespective
output capacitor and COUTA or COUTB and the IC signal ground. Do not locate these components and their
traces near any switching nodes or high-current traces.
10.1.3 Other Considerations
1. Short PGNDx and AGND to the thermal pad. Use a star-ground configuration if connecting to a non-ground
plane system. Use tie-ins for the EXTSUP capacitor, compensation-network ground, and voltage-sense
feedback ground networks to this star ground.
2. Connect a compensation network between the compensation pins and IC signal ground. Connect the
oscillator resistor (frequency setting) between the RT pin and IC signal ground. These sensitive circuits must
not be located near nodes showing high dv/dt; these include the gate-drive outputs, phase pins, and boost
circuits (bootstrap).
3. Reduce the surface area of the high-current-carrying loops to a minimum by ensuring optimal component
placement. Locate the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the respective power and ground pins.
