3 Description
The TPS43330-Q1 and TPS43332-Q1 devices
(TPS4333x-Q1)
include
two
current-mode
synchronous buck controllers and a voltage-mode
boost controller. The TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices
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. At light loads, the buck
controllers can be enabled 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 can be programed over 150 kHz to 600
kHz or synchronized to an external clock in the same
range. Additionally, the TPS43332-Q1 device offers
frequency-hopping spread-spectrum operation.

A capacitor on this pin acts as the voltage supply for the high-side N-channel MOSFET gate-drive circuitry in buck
controller BuckA. When the buck is in a dropout condition, the device automatically reduces the duty cycle of the
high-side MOSFET to approximately 95% on every fourth cycle to allow the capacitor to recharge.

Pin Functions (continued)
PIN
NAME
NO.
I/O
DESCRIPTION
DIV
36
I
The status of this pin defines the output voltage of the boost regulator. A high input regulates the boost converter
at 11 V, a low input sets the value at 7 V, and a floating pin sets 10 V. (1)
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.
ENA
16
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.
ENB
17
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. (1)
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 TPS43330-Q1 or TPS43330-Q2 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
6
O
This output can drive 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 can drive 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 can drive 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 can drive 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 can drive 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 can
bypass 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.

PGNDB
30
O
Power ground connection to the source of the low-side N-channel MOSFETs of BuckB
PHA

O
Switching terminal of buck regulator BuckA, providing a floating ground reference for the high-side MOSFET gatedriver circuitry and used to sense current reversal in the inductor when discontinuous-mode operation is desired.
PHB
32
O
Switching terminal of buck regulator BuckB, providing a floating ground reference for the high-side MOSFET gatedriver circuitry and used to sense current reversal in the inductor when discontinuous-mode operation is desired.
RT
22
O
Connecting a resistor to ground on this pin sets the operational switching frequency of the buck and boost
controllers. A short circuit to ground on this pin defaults operation to 400 kHz for the buck controllers and 200 kHz
for the boost controller.

I/O
DESCRIPTION
SA1
10
I
High-impedance differential-voltage inputs from the current-sense element (sense resistor or inductor DCR) for
each buck controller. Choose the current-sense element to set the maximum current through the inductor based
on the current-limit threshold (subject to tolerances) and considering the typical characteristics across duty cycle
and VIN. (SA1 positive node, SA2 negative node).
SA2

SB1
29
I
SB2
28
I
SSA
14
O
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 1 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 can provide 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 1 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 can provide a tracking input to this pin.
High-impedance differential voltage inputs from the current-sense element (sense resistor or inductor DCR) for
each buck controller. Choose the current-sense element to set the maximum current through the inductor based
on the current-limit threshold (subject to tolerances) and considering the typical characteristics across duty cycle
and VIN. (SB1 positive node, SB2 negative node).
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,
this overriding the internal oscillator frequency. The device can synchronize to frequencies from 150 kHz to 600
kHz. A high logic level on this pin ensures forced continuous-mode operation of the buck controllers and inhibits
transition to low-power mode. An open or low allows discontinuous-mode operation and entry into low-power
mode at light loads. On the TPS43332-Q1 device, a high level enables frequency-hopping spread spectrum,
whereas an open or a low level disables it.
VBAT
1
I
Battery input sense for the boost controller. If, with the boost controller enabled, the voltage at VBAT falls below
the boost threshold, the device activates the boost controller and regulates the voltage at VIN to the programmed
boost output voltage.
VIN
38
I
Main Input pin. This 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.
VREG
35
O
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 its 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).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, 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).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TPS43330-Q1 and TPS43332-Q1 devices include two current-mode synchronous buck controllers and a
voltage mode boost controller. 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. At light loads, one can enable the buck
controllers 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 programmable over 150 kHz to 600 kHz or can be synchronized to an external clock in the
same range. The TPS43332-Q1 device also offers frequency-hopping spread-spectrum operation.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Buck Controllers: Normal Mode PWM Operation
9.3.1.1 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 at this pin sets the default switching
frequency to 400 kHz. Using a resistor at RT sets another frequency according to Equation 1.

fSW =
(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 can also detect a loss of clock at this pin, and upon 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.
9.3.1.2 Enable Inputs
Independent enable inputs from the ENA and ENB pins enable the buck controllers. The ENx pins are highvoltage pins, with a threshold of 1.7 V for the high level, and with which direct connection to the battery is
permissible for self-bias. The low threshold is 0.7 V. Both 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.
9.3.1.3 Feedback Inputs
The right-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.
9.3.1.4 Soft-Start Inputs
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 startup,
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. Use Equation 2 to calculate the soft-start ramp time.

An alternative use of the soft-start pins is as tracking inputs. In this case, connect them to the supply to be
tracked by a suitable resistor-divider network.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.1.5 Current Sensing and Current Limit With Foldback
Clamping of the maximum value of the COMPx pin limits the maximum current through the inductor to a
specified value. When the output of the buck regulator (and hence the feedback value at the FBx pin) falls to a
low value because of a short circuit or overcurrent condition, the clamped voltage at the COMPx pin 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 to limit the maximum current in the low-side
MOSFET (reverse-direction current limit).
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 graphs in the Typical
Characteristics section 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 16 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 because of the temperature sensitivity and a wide variation of the parasitic inductor series
resistance. Therefore using the more-accurate sense resistor for current sensing may be advantageous.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.1.7 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 has fallen 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 opendrain output at the PGx pins. An internal 50-kΩ pullup resistor to Sx2 is available, or use of an external resistor is
possible. 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 constant current flow
through the resistor when the buck controller is powered down.
To avoid triggering the power-good indicators because of 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 can pause the reset of circuits powered from the buck regulator rail. Program
the duration of the delay by using a suitable capacitor at the DLYAB pin according to Equation 4.
tDELAY
1 msec
=
CDLYAB
1 nF
(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.
9.3.2 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, 10 V, or 11 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. The device does not recognize a change of the DIV setting while the in the low-power mode.
The active-high ENC pin enables the boost controller, which is active when the input voltage at the VBAT pin has
crossed the unlock threshold of 8.5 V at least once. A single threshold crossing arms the boost controller, which
begins 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 the VBAT pin.
A voltage at the DS pin exceeding 200 mV pulls the CG1 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. Select 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) can be used to supply other circuits in the system. However, the boost output should be
high-voltage tolerant. The device regulates the boost output to the programmed value only when VIN is low, and
so VIN can reach battery levels.

9.3.3 Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum
The TPS43332-Q1 device features a frequency-hopping pseudo-random spectrum-spreading architecture. On
this device, whenever the SYNC pin is high, the internal oscillator frequency varies from one cycle to the next
within a band of ±5% around the value programmed by the resistor at the RT pin. The implementation uses a
linear-feedback shift register that changes the frequency of the internal oscillator based on a digital code. The
shift register is long enough to make the hops pseudo-random in nature and has a design such that the
frequency shifts only by one step at each cycle to avoid large jumps in the buck and boost switching frequencies.

9.3.4 Gate-Driver Supply (VREG, EXTSUP)
The gate-driver supplies of the buck and boost controllers are from an internal linear regulator whose output (5.8
V typical) is on the VREG pin and requires decoupling with a ceramic capacitor in the range of 3.3 µF to 10 µF.
NOTE
This pin has internal current-limit protection; do not use it to power any other circuits.
The VIN pin powers the VREG linear regulator by default when the EXTSUP voltage is lower than 4.6 V (typical).
If VIN is expected to go to high levels, excessive power dissipation can occur in this regulator, especially at high
switching frequencies and when using large external MOSFETs. In this case, powering this regulator from the
EXTSUP pin is advantageous, which can have a connection to a supply lower than VIN but high enough to
provide the gate drive. When the voltage on the EXTSUP pin is greater than 4.6 V, the linear regulator
automatically switches to the EXTSUP pin as the input, to provide this advantage. Efficiency improvements are
possible when using one of the switching regulator rails from the TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices or any other
voltage available in the system to power the EXTSUP pin. The maximum voltage for application to the EXTSUP
pin is 9 V.

Figure 19. Internal Gate-Driver Supply
Using a voltage above 5.8 V (sourced by VIN) for the EXTSUP pin is advantageous because it provides a large
gate drive and hence better on-resistance of the external MOSFETs.
When using the EXTSUP pin, always keep the buck rail supplying the EXTSUP pin enabled. Alternatively, if
switching off the buck rail supplying the EXTSUP pin is necessary, place a diode between the buck rail and the
EXTSUP pin.
During low-power mode, the EXTSUP functionality is not available. The internal regulator operates as a shunt
regulator powered from the VIN pin and has a typical value of 7.5 V. Current-limit protection for the VREG pin is
available in low-power mode as well. If the EXTSUP pin is unused, leave the pin open without a capacitor
installed.
9.3.5 External P-Channel Drive (GC2) and Reverse-Battery Protection
The TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices include 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 to drive a
P-channel 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 20. Figure 21 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.

9.3.6 Undervoltage Lockout and Overvoltage Protection
The TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices starts up at a VIN voltage of 6.5 V (minimum), required for the internal
supply (VREG). When the device has started up, the device 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 and therefore reduces the gate-drive voltage, whereas the
digital logic is fully functional. Even if the ENC pin is high, the boost-unlock voltage of
typically 8.5 V (typical) one time is required before boost activation can take place (see the
Boost Controller section).
A voltage of 46 V at the VIN pin triggers the overvoltage comparator, which shuts down the device. 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 begin including a new
soft-start ramp for the buck regulators.
With the boost controller enabled, a voltage less than 1.9 V (typical) on the VBAT pin 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 its capacitor and load, eventually triggering VIN undervoltage. A short falling
transient at the VBAT pin even lower than 2 V can thus be survived, if VBAT returns above 2.5 V before the VIN
pin discharges to the undervoltage threshold.
9.3.7 Thermal Protection
The TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices is protected from overheating using an internal thermal shutdown circuit. If
the die temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold of 165ºC because of excessive power dissipation
(for example, because of fault conditions such as a short circuit at the gate drivers or the VREG pin), the
controllers turn off and then restart when the temperature has fallen by 15ºC.

9.4.1 Buck Controllers: Current-Mode Operation
Peak-current-mode control regulates the peak current through the inductor to maintain the output voltage at its
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 its 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, a limit exists on the duty cycle of 95% 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.
9.4.2 Buck Controllers: 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 typically occurs at 1%
of the set full-load current if the choice of the inductor and sense resistor is as recommended in the slopecompensation section.

SLVSA82F – MARCH 2011 – REVISED DECEMBER 2014
www.ti.com
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 it becomes zero. The low-side MOSFET does not turn on. The next pulse
occurs the next time FBx falls below the reference value. This 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
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 TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices can support 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 fullload current if the selection of inductor and sense resistor is as recommended. Moreover, a hysteresis also 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 the ENC pin is set to low.

10 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.
10.1 Application Information
The TPS43330-Q1 and TPS43332-Q1 devices are 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 calculations are a good starting point and theoretical representation
of the values for use in the application; improving the performance of the device may require further optimization
of the derived components.

10.2.2.1 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 may become 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 because of 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 can
become unstable.

This design assumes operation in continuous-conduction mode. During light load conditions, the boost converter
operates in discontinuous mode without affecting stability. Hence, the assumptions here cover the worst case for
stability.
10.2.2.2 Boost Maximum Input Current IIN_MAX
The maximum input current flows at the minimum input voltage and maximum load. The efficiency for VBAT = 5 V
at 2.5 A is 80%, based on the graphs in the Typical Characteristics section.

Select a lower value of 4 µH 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 compensation is easier.
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.
Determine the saturation rating at the minimum input voltage, maximum output current, and maximum core
temperature for the application.
10.2.2.4 Inductor Ripple Current, IRIPPLE

Because the boost converter is active only during brief events such as a cranking pulse, and the buck converters
are high-voltage tolerant, a higher excursion on the boost output may be tolerable in some cases. In such cases,
select smaller components for the boost output.

10.2.2.12 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 should be higher than the maximum input voltage,
and the component should have low reverse leakage current. Additionally, the peak forward current should be
higher than the peak inductor current. The following calculation gives the power dissipation in the Schottky diode:

The times tr and tf denote the rising and falling times of the switching node and relate to the gate-driver strength
of the TPS43330-Q1 device, TPS43332-Q1 device, and gate Miller capacitance of the MOSFET. The first term
denotes the conduction losses, which the low on-resistance of the MOSFET minimizes. The second term
denotes the transition losses which arise because of the full application of the input voltage across the drainsource of the MOSFET as it turns on or off. Transition losses are higher at high output currents and low input
voltages (because of 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 can have an assumed
starting value of 0.005 per °C.)

10.2.2.23 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.
The times tr and tf denote the rising and falling times of the switching node and have a relationship to the gatedriver strength of the TPS4333x-Q1 family of devices and to the gate Miller capacitance of the MOSFET. The
first term denotes the conduction losses, which are minimal when the on-resistance of the MOSFET is low. The
second term denotes the transition losses, which arise because of the full application of the input voltage across
the drain-source of the MOSFET as it turns on or off. Transition losses are lower at low currents and when the
switching time is low.

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 the preceding equation denotes this. Using external
Schottky diodes in parallel with the low-side MOSFETs of the buck converters helps to reduce this loss.
NOTE
The value of 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 can have an assumed starting value of
0.005 per ºC.

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 taken into account 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.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for the design considerations of the grounding and PCB circuit layout.
12.1.1 Boost Converter
1. The path formed from the input capacitor to the inductor and BOT_SW3 with the low-side current-sense
resistor should 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 may require noise filtering, and the filter capacitor should be close to
the IC pin.
12.1.2 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 should 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 should have 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 its respective
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.

12.1.3 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. Do not locate these sensitive
circuits near the dv/dt nodes; 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 their respective power and ground pins.
