TPS53015
SLVSBF0C – JULY 2012 – REVISED APRIL 2019
TPS53015 4.5-V to 28-V Input, D-CAP2TM Synchronous Step-Buck Converter With PGOOD
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS53015 device is a single, adaptive on-time
D-CAP2 ™ mode synchronous buck controller. The
device enables system designers to complete the
suite of various end equipment power bus regulators
with cost effective low external component count and
low standby current solution. The main control loop
for the TPS53015 uses the D-CAP2 mode control
which provides a very fast transient response with no
external compensation components. The adaptive ontime control supports seamless transition between
PWM mode at higher load condition and Eco-mode™
operation at light load. Eco-mode operation allows the
device to maintain high efficiency during lighter load
conditions. The device is also able to adapt to both
low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output
capacitors such as POSCAP or SP-CAP and ultralow ESR ceramic capacitors. The device provides
convenient and efficient operation with input voltages
from 4.5 V to 28 V and output voltage from 0.77 V to
7 V.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS53015 is single synchronous step-down buck controller. It operates using D-CAP2 mode control. The
fast transient response of D-CAP2 control reduces the required amount of output capacitance to meet a specific
level of performance. Proprietary internal circuitry allows the use of low-ESR output capacitors including ceramic
and special polymer types.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Drivers
The TPS53015 device contains two high-current resistive MOSFET gate drivers. The low-side driver is a PGND
referenced, VREG5 powered driver designed to drive the gate of a high-current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET
whose source is connected to PGND. The high-side driver is a floating SW referenced, VBST powered driver
designed to drive the gate of a high-current, low RDS(on) N-channel MOSFET. To maintain the VBST voltage
during the high-side driver ON-time, a capacitor is placed from SW to VBST. Each driver draws average current
equal to gate charge (Qg and Vgs = 5 V) times switching frequency (fSW). To prevent cross-conduction, there is a
narrow dead-time when both high-side and low-side drivers are OFF between each driver transition. During this
time the inductor current is carried by one of the MOSFETs body diodes.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 5-Volt Regulator
The TPS53015 has an internal 5-V low-dropout (LDO) regulator to provide a regulated voltage for all both drivers
and the device internal logic. A high-quality 4.7-µF or greater ceramic capacitor from VREG5 to GND is required
to stabilize the internal regulator.
7.3.3 Soft-Start and Pre-biased Soft-Start Time
The TPS53015 operates with an internally set, 1.4-ms soft-start time. When the EN pin becomes high and the
VREG5 voltage is above the UVLO threshold, an internal DAC ramps up the reference voltage to the PWM
comparator. Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during start up.
The device contains a unique circuit to prevent current from being pulled from the output during startup if the
output is pre-biased. When the soft-start commands a voltage higher than the pre-bias level (internal soft-start
time becomes greater than internal feedback voltage VFB), the controller slowly activates synchronous
rectification by starting the first low side FET gate driver pulses with a narrow on-time. It then increments that ontime 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 scheme prevents the initial sinking of the pre-biased output, and ensures that the output voltage
(VOUT) starts and ramps up smoothly into regulation from pre-biased startup to normal mode operation.
7.3.4 Overcurrent Protection
The TPS53015 device has a cycle-by-cycle over current limit feature. The over current limits the inductor valley
current by monitoring the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET RDS(on) during the low-side driver on-time. If
the inductor current is larger than the overcurrent limit (OCL), the device delays the start of the next switching
cycle until the sensed inductor current falls below the OCL current. MOSFET RDS(on) current sensing is used to
provide an accuracy and cost effective solution without external devices. To program the OCL, a resister should
be connected between DRVL and PGND. The recommended values are given inTable 1.

The trip voltage is set between 0.05 V to 0.336 V over all operational temperature, including the 4000ppm/°C
temperature slope compensation for the temperature dependency of the RDS(on). If the load current exceeds the
overcurrent limit, the voltage begins to drop. If the overcurrent conditions continues the output voltage falls below
the undervoltage protection threshold and the device shuts down.
7.3.5 Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection
The TPS53015 device monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect an overvoltage or undervoltage
condition. If the feedback voltage is higher than 120% of the reference voltage, the OVP comparator output goes
high and the circuit latches the high-side MOSFET driver OFF and the low-side MOSFET driver ON.
When the feedback voltage is lower than 68% of the reference voltage, the UVP comparator output goes high
and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 1 ms, the device latches OFF both top and bottom
MOSFET drivers. This function is enabled approximately 2.2 ms after power-on. The OVP and UVP latch off is
reset when EN goes low.

7.3.6 UVLO Protection
The TPS53015 offers undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) by monitoring the voltage of VREG5 pin. When the
VREG5 pin voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the device shuts off. All output drivers are OFF. The
UVLO is non-latch protection.
7.3.7 Thermal Shutdown
During normal operation, when the temperature of the TPS53015 device exceeds the threshold value (typically
150°C), the device shuts off. When the temperature falls below the threshold, the device starts again. During VIN
start-up when the VREG5 output voltage is below its nominal value, the device maintains the thermal shutdown
threshold lower than 150°C. During the period where VIN rises, the junction temperature (TJ) must be maintained
at lower than 110°C.
7.3.8 Power Good
The VFB pin measures the power-good output and the function activates after the soft-start period has
completed. If the output voltage is within ±16% of the target voltage, the internal comparator detects the powergood state and the power-good signal becomes high after 1.2-ms delay. During start-up, this internal delay starts
after 2.2 times the soft-start time to avoid a glitch of power-good signal. If the feedback voltage goes outside
±16% of target value, the power-good signal becomes low after 2-µs delay.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS53015 device is an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller
that supports a proprietary D-CAP2 control mode. D-CAP2 control combines constant on-time control with an
internal compensation circuit for pseudo-fixed frequency and low external component count configuration with
both low ESR and ceramic output capacitors. It is stable even with virtually no ripple at the output. At the
beginning of each cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on. this MOSFET is turned off when the internal timer
expires. This timer is set by the converter input voltage VIN, and the output voltage (VOUT) to maintain a pseudofixed frequency over the input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control. The timer is reset and
the high-side MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback voltage falls below the nominal output voltage. An
internal ramp is added to the reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the need for ESR induced
output ripple from D-CAP2 mode control.
7.4.2 Auto-skip Eco-Mode Control
The TPS53015 operates in Auto-Skip Eco-mode to increase light-load efficiency. As the output current decreases
from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to point where its rippled
valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction
modes. The rectifying MOSFET turns off when the device detects a zero inductor current. As the load current
further decreases, the converter transitions into discontinuous conduction mode. The on-time is maintained to
almost half of what it was during continuous conduction mode operation because it takes longer to discharge the
output capacitor with a smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. Use Equation 2 to calculate the
transition point to the light-load operation current (IOX(LL)) using a 500-kHz switching frequency.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Determine the Inductance Value
The inductance value is selected to provide approximately 30% peak to peak ripple current at maximum load.
Larger ripple current increases output ripple voltage, improve signal-to-noise ratio and contribute to stable
operation. Use Equation 3 to calculate te value for LOUT.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS53015 device operates using an input voltage supply range from 4.5 V to 28 V. This input supply must
be well regulated. Proper bypassing of input supplies and internal regulators is also critical for noise
performance, as is PCB layout and grounding scheme
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Considerations these design guidelines before beginning the application layout process.
• Design an input switching current loop as small as possible.
• Place the input capacitor close to the top switching FET.
• Design the output switching current loop as small as possible.
• The SW node must be physically small and as short as possible as to minimize parasitic capacitance and
inductance and to minimize radiated emissions.
• Bring Kelvin connections from the output to the feedback pin (VFB) of the device.
• Place analog and non-switching components far away from switching components.
• Make a single point connection from the signal ground to power ground.
• Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
