8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 VBIAS Regulator (VBIAS)
The VBIAS regulator provides internal analog and digital blocks with a stable supply voltage over variations in
junction temperature and input voltage. A high quality, low-ESR, ceramic bypass capacitor is required on the
VBIAS pin. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are recommended because their values are more stable over
temperature. Place the bypass capacitor close to the VBIAS pin and returned to AGND. External loading on
VBIAS is allowed, with the caution that internal circuits require a minimum VBIAS of 2.7 V, and external loads on
VBIAS with ac or digital switching noise may degrade performance. The VBIAS pin may be useful as a reference
voltage for external circuits.
8.3.2 Voltage Reference
The voltage reference system produces a precise Vref signal by scaling the output of a temperature stable
bandgap circuit. During manufacture, the bandgap and scaling circuits are trimmed to produce 0.891 V at the
output of the error amplifier, with the amplifier connected as a voltage follower. The trim procedure adds to the
high precision regulation of the TPS54110 because it cancels offset errors in the scale and error amplifier
circuits.
8.3.3 Oscillator and PWM Ramp
The oscillator frequency can be set to internally fixed values of 350 kHz or 550 kHz using the SYNC pin as a
static digital input. If a different frequency of operation is required for the application, the oscillator frequency can
be externally adjusted from 280 kHz to 700 kHz by connecting a resistor from the RT pin to ground and floating
the SYNC pin. The switching frequency is approximated by the following equation, where R is the resistance
from RT to AGND:
100kW
SWITCHING FREQUENCY=
´ 500 kHz
R
(1)
External synchronization of the PWM ramp is possible over the frequency range of 330 kHz to 700 kHz by driving
a synchronization signal into SYNC and connecting a resistor from RT to AGND. Choose an RT resistor that sets
the free-running frequency to 80% of the synchronization signal. Table 1 summarizes the frequency selection
configurations.

8.3.4 Error Amplifier
The high-performance, wide-bandwidth, voltage error amplifier sets the TPS54110 apart from most dc/dc
converters. The user is given the flexibility to use a wide range of output L- and C-filter components to suit the
particular application needs. Type-2 or type-3 compensation can be employed using external compensation
components.
8.3.5 PWM Control
Signals from the error-amplifier output, oscillator, and current-limit circuit are processed by the PWM control
logic. Referring to the internal block diagram, the control logic includes the PWM comparator, OR gate, PWM
latch, and portions of the adaptive dead-time and control-logic block. During steady-state operation below the
current-limit threshold, the PWM-comparator output and oscillator pulse train alternately reset and set the PWM
latch. Once the PWM latch is set, the low-side FET remains on for a minimum duration set by the oscillator pulse

duration. During this period, the PWM ramp discharges rapidly to its valley voltage. When the ramp begins to
charge back up, the low-side FET turns off and high-side FET turns on. As the PWM ramp voltage exceeds the
error-amplifier output voltage, the PWM comparator resets the latch, thus turning off the high-side FET and
turning on the low-side FET. The low-side FET remains on until the next oscillator pulse discharges the PWM
ramp.
During transient conditions, the error amplifier output could be below the PWM ramp valley voltage or above the
PWM peak voltage. If the error-amplifier output is high, the PWM latch is never reset and the high-side FET
remains on until the oscillator pulse signals the control logic to turn the high-side FET off and the low-side FET
on. The device operates at its maximum duty cycle until the output voltage rises to the regulation set-point,
setting VSENSE to approximately the same voltage as Vref. If the error-amplifier output is low, the PWM latch is
continually reset and the high-side FET does not turn on. The low-side FET remains on until the VSENSE
voltage decreases to a range that allows the PWM comparator to change states. The TPS54110 is capable of
sinking current continuously until the output reaches the regulation set-point.
If the current-limit comparator remains tripped longer than 100 ns, the PWM latch resets before the PWM ramp
exceeds the error-amplifier output. The high-side FET turns off and low-side FET turns on to decrease the
energy in the output inductor, and consequently the output current. This process is repeated each cycle that the
current-limit comparator is tripped.
8.3.6 Dead-Time Control and MOSFET Drivers
Adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through current from flowing in both N-channel power MOSFETs
during the switching transitions by actively controlling the turn-on times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side
driver does not turn on until the gate-drive voltage to the low-side FET is below 2 V. The low-side driver does not
turn on until the voltage at the gate of the high-side MOSFETs is below 2 V. The high-side and low-side drivers
are designed with 300-mA source and sink capability to quickly drive the power MOSFETs gates. The low-side
driver is supplied from VIN, while the high-side driver is supplied from the BOOT pin. A bootstrap circuit uses an
external BOOT capacitor and an internal 2.5-Ω bootstrap switch connected between the VIN and BOOT pins.
The integrated bootstrap switch improves drive efficiency and reduces external-component count.
8.3.7 Overcurrent Protection
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting is achieved by sensing the current flowing through the high-side MOSFET and
differential amplifier and comparing it to the preset overcurrent threshold. The high-side MOSFET is turned off
within 200 ns of reaching the current-limit threshold. A 100-ns leading-edge blanking circuit prevents false
tripping of the current limit. Current-limit detection occurs only when current flows from VIN to PH when sourcing
current to the output filter. Load protection during current-sink operation is provided by thermal shutdown.
8.3.8 Thermal Shutdown
The device uses the thermal shutdown to turn off the power MOSFETs and disable the controller if the junction
temperature exceeds 150°C. The device is released from shutdown when the junction temperature decreases to
10°C below the thermal-shutdown trip point, and starts up under control of the slow-start circuit. Thermal
shutdown provides protection when an overload condition is sustained for several milliseconds. In a persistentfault condition, the device cycles continuously; starting up under control of the soft-start circuit, heating up due to
the fault, and then shutting down upon reaching the thermal-shutdown point.
8.3.9 Power Good (PWRDG)
The power-good circuit monitors for undervoltage conditions on VSENSE. If the voltage on VSENSE is 7% below
the reference voltage, the open-drain PWRGD output is pulled low. PWRGD is also pulled low if VIN is less than
the UVLO threshold, or SS/ENA is low, or if thermal shutdown asserts. When VIN = UVLO threshold, SS/ENA =
enable threshold, and VSENSE > 93% of Vref, the open-drain output of the PWRGD pin is high. A hysteresis
voltage equal to 3% of Vref and a 35-µs falling-edge deglitch circuit prevent tripping of the power-good
comparator due to high frequency noise.

8.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The TPS54110 incorporates an under voltage lockout circuit to keep the device disabled when the input voltage
(VIN) is insufficient. During power up, internal circuits are held inactive until VIN exceeds the nominal UVLO
threshold voltage of 2.95 V. Once the UVLO start threshold is reached, device start-up begins. The device
operates until VIN falls below the nominal UVLO stop threshold of 2.8 V. Hysteresis in the UVLO comparator,
and a 2.5-µs rising and falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the likelihood of shutting the device down due to noise
on VIN.
8.5 Slow-Start/Enable (SS/ENA)
The slow-start/enable pin provides two functions; first, the pin acts as an enable (shutdown) control by keeping
the device turned off until the voltage exceeds the start threshold voltage of approximately 1.2 V. When SS/ENA
exceeds the enable threshold, device start up begins. The reference voltage fed to the error amplifier is linearly
ramped up from 0 V to 0.891 V in 3.35 ms. Similarly, the converter output voltage reaches regulation in
approximately 3.35 ms. Voltage hysteresis and a 2.5-µs falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the likelihood of
triggering the enable due to noise.
The second function of the SS/ENA pin provides an external means of extending the slow-start time with a lowvalue capacitor connected between SS/ENA and AGND. Adding a capacitor to the SS/ENA pin has two effects
on start-up. First, a delay occurs between release of the SS/ENA pin and start up of the output. The delay is
proportional to the slow-start capacitor value and lasts until the SS/ENA pin reaches the enable threshold. The
start-up delay is approximately:
1.2V
td=C(SS) ´
5ma
(2)
Second, as the output becomes active, a brief ramp-up at the internal slow-start rate may be observed before the
externally set slow-start rate takes control and the output rises at a rate proportional to the slow-start capacitor.
The slow-start time set by the capacitor is approximately:
0.7V
t(SS)=C(SS) ´
5ma
(3)
The actual slow-start is likely to be less than the above approximation due to the brief ramp-up at the internal
rate.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Switching Frequency
The switching frequency is set within the range of 280 kHz to 700 kHz by connecting a resistor from the RT pin
to AGND. Equation 4 is used to determine the proper RT value.

RT(k W) =

In this example, the timing-resistor value chosen for R4 is 71.5 kΩ, setting the switching frequency to 700 kHz.
Alternately, the TPS54110 can be set to preprogrammed switching frequencies of 350 kHz or 550 kHz by
connecting pins RT and SYNC as shown in Table 3.

9.2.1.2.2 Input Capacitors
The TPS54110 requires an input decoupling capacitor and, depending on the application, a bulk input capacitor.
The minimum value for the decoupling capacitor, C9, is 10 uF. A high quality ceramic type X5R or X7R with a
voltage rating greater than the maximum input voltage is recommended. A bulk input capacitor may be needed,
especially if the TPS54110 circuit is not located within approximately 2 inches from the input voltage source. The
capacitance value is not critical, but the voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage including
ripple voltage. The capacitor must filter the input ripple voltage to acceptable levels.
Input ripple voltage can be approximated by Equation 5:

In this case the input ripple voltage is 66 mV with a 10-µF bulk capacitor. Figure 14 shows the measured ripple
waveform. The RMS ripple current is 0.75 A. The maximum voltage across the input capacitors is VINMAX +
ΔVIN/2. The bypass capacitor and input bulk capacitor are each rated for 6.3 V and a ripple-current capacity of
1.5 A, providing some margin. It is very important that the maximum ratings for voltage and current are not
exceeded under any circumstance.
9.2.1.2.3 Output Filter Components
Two components, L1 and C2, are selected for the output filter. Since the TPS54110 is an externallycompensated device, a wide range of filter-component types and values are supported.
9.2.1.2.3.1 Inductor Selection
Use Equation 7 to calculate the minimum value of the output inductor:
VOUT ´ (VIN(MAX)-VOUT )
LMIN =
VIN(MAX) ´ KIND ´ IOUT ´ FSW
(7)
KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum output current.
For designs using low-ESR capacitors such as ceramics, use KIND = 0.2. When using higher ESR output
capacitors, KIND = 0.1 yields better results. If higher ripple currents can be tolerated, KIND can be increased
allowing for a smaller output-inductor value.
This example design uses KIND = 0.2, yielding a minimum inductor value of 6.29 µH. The next-higher standard
value of 6.8 µH is chosen for this design. If a lower inductor value is desired, a larger amount of ripple current
must be tolerated.
The RMS-current and saturation-current ratings of the output filter inductor must not be exceeded. The RMS
inductor current can be found from Equation 8:
2
OUT(MAX)
IL(RMS) = I
1 æ VOUT ´ (VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) ö
+ ´ç
÷
12 è VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ FSW ´ 0.8 ø
2
(8)
The peak inductor current is determined from Equation 9:
VOUT ´ (VIN(MAX)-VOUT)
IL(PK) = IOUT(MAX) +
1.6 ´ VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ FSW
(9)
For this design, the RMS inductor current is 1.503 A and the peak inductor current is 1.673 A. The inductor
chosen is a Coilcraft DS3316P-682 6.8 µH. It has a saturation current rating of 2.8 A and an RMS current rating
of 2.2 A, easily meeting these requirements.
9.2.1.2.3.2 Capacitor Selection
The important design parameters for the output capacitor are dc voltage, ripple current, and equivalent series
resistance (ESR). The dc-voltage and ripple-current ratings must not be exceeded. The ESR rating is important
because along with the inductor current it determines the output ripple voltage level. The actual value of the
output capacitor is not critical, but some practical limits do exist. Consider the relationship between the desired
closed-loop crossover frequency of the design and LC corner frequency of the output filter. In general, it is
desirable to keep the closed-loop crossover frequency at less than 1/5 of the switching frequency. With high
switching frequencies such as the 700 kHz frequency of this design, internal circuit limitations of the TPS54110
limit the practical maximum crossover frequency to about 100 kHz. To allow adequate phase gain in the
compensation network, set the LC corner frequency to approximately one decade below the closed-loop
crossover frequency. This limits the minimum capacitor value for the output filter to:
COUT (MIN) =
æ K ö
´ç
÷
LOUT è 2p¦CO ø

2
where
•
•
K is the frequency multiplier for the spread between fLC
fCO. K should be between 5 and 15, typically 10 for one decade of difference.

TPS54110
SLVS500D – DECEMBER 2003 – REVISED JUNE 2019

For a desired crossover of 60 kHz, K=10 and a 6.8 μH inductor, the minimum value for the output capacitor is
100 μF. The selected output capacitor must be rated for a voltage greater than the desired output voltage plus
one half the ripple voltage. Any derating factors must also be included. The maximum RMS ripple current in the
output capacitor is given by Equation 11:
1 é VOUT ´ (VIN(MAX) - VOUT ) ù
´
ICOUT(RMS) =
12 êë VIN(MAX) ´ LOUT ´ FSW ´ NC úû
where
•
NC is the number of output capacitors in parallel
(11)
The maximum ESR of the output capacitor is determined by the allowable output ripple specified in the initial
design parameters. The output ripple voltage is the inductor ripple current times the ESR of the output filter so
the maximum specified ESR as listed in the capacitor data sheet is given by Equation 12:
æV
´ L ´ F ´ 0.8 ö
ESRMAX =NC ´ çç IN(MAX) OUT SW
÷÷ ´ DVp-p(MAX)
è VOUT ´ (VIN(MAX)-VOUT ) ø
(12)
For this design example, a single 100-µF output capacitor is chosen for C2. The calculated RMS ripple current is
80 mA and the maximum ESR required is 87 mΩ. An example of a suitable capacitor is the Sanyo Poscap
6TPC100M, rated at 6.3 V with a maximum ESR of 45 mΩ and a ripple-current rating of 1.7 A.
Other capacitor types work well with the TPS54110, depending on the needs of the application.
9.2.1.2.4 Compensation Components
The external compensation used with the TPS54110 allows for a wide range of output-filter configurations. A
large range of capacitor values and dielectric types are supported. The design example uses type 3
compensation consisting of R1, R3, R5, C6, C7 and C8. Additionally, R2 and R1 form a voltage-divider network
that sets the output voltage. These component reference designators are the same as those used in the SWIFT
Designer Software.
There are a number of different ways to design a compensation network. This procedure outlines a relatively
simple procedure that produces good results with most output filter combinations. Use the SWIFT Designer
Software for designs with unusually high closed-loop crossover frequencies; with low-value, low-ESR output
capacitors such as ceramics; or if you are unsure about the design procedure.
A number of considerations apply when designing compensation networks for the TPS54110. The compensated
error-amplifier gain must not be limited by the open-loop amplifier gain characteristics and must not produce
excessive gain at the switching frequency. Also, the closed-loop crossover frequency must be set less than one
fifth of the switching frequency, and the phase margin at crossover must be greater than 45 degrees. The
general procedure outlined here meets these requirements without going into great detail about the theory of
loop compensation.
First, calculate the output filter LC corner frequency using Equation 13:
1
¦LC =
2p LOUTCOUT
(13)
For the design example, ƒLC = 6103 Hz.
Choose a closed-loop crossover frequency greater than fLC and less than one fifth of the switching frequency.
Also, keep the crossover frequency below 100 kHz, as the error amplifier may not provide the desired gain at
higher frequencies. The 60-kHz crossover frequency chosen for this design provides comparatively wide loop
bandwidth while still allowing adequate phase boost to ensure stability.

Next, the values for the compensation components that set the poles and zeros of the compensation network are
calculated. Assuming an R1 value > than R5 and a C6 value > C7, the pole and zero locations are given by
Equation 14 through Equation 17:
1
¦Z1 =
2pR3C6
(14)
1
¦Z 2 =
2pR1C8
(15)
1
¦P1 =
2pR5C8
(16)
1
¦P 2 =
2pR3C7
(17)
Additionally there is a pole at the origin, which has unity gain at a frequency:
1
¦INT =
2pR1C6
(18)
This pole is used to set the overall gain of the compensated error amplifier and determines the closed loop
crossover frequency. Since R1 is given as 10 kΩ and the crossover frequency is selected as 60 kHz, the desired
fINT is calculated from Equation 19:
10 - 0.74 ´ ¦CO
¦INT =
2
(19)
And the value for C6 is given by Equation 20:
1
C6 =
2pR1¦INT
(20)
Since C6 is calculated to be 2900 pF, and the location of the integrator crossover frequency is important in
setting the overall loop crossover, adjust the value of R1 so that C6 is a standard value of 2700 pF, using
Equation 21:
1
R1 =
2pC6¦LC
(21)
The value for R1 is 10.7 KΩ
The first zero, fZ1 is located at one half the output filter LC corner frequency, so R3 is calculated from:
1
R3 =
pC6¦LC
(22)
The second zero, fZ2 is located at the output filter LC corner frequency, so C8 is calculated from:
1
C8 =
2pR1¦LC
(23)
The first pole, fP1 is located to coincide with output filter ESR zero frequency. This frequency is given by:
1
¦ESR 0 =
2pRESRCOUT
where
•
RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor
(24)
In this case, the ESR zero frequency is 35.4 kHz, and R5 is calculated from:
1
R5 =
2pC8¦ESR

The final pole is placed at a frequency high enough above the closed-loop crossover frequency to avoid causing
an excessive phase decrease at the crossover frequency while still providing enough attenuation so that there is
little or no gain at the switching frequency. The fP2 pole location for this circuit is set to 4 times the closed-loop
crossover frequency and the last compensation component value C7 is derived:
1
C7 =
8pR3¦CO
(26)
Finally, calculate the R2 resistor value for the output voltage of 3.3 V using Equation 27:
R1 ´ 0.891
R2 =
VOUT -0.891
(27)
For this TPS54110 design, use R1 = 10.7 kΩ instead of 10.0 kΩ. R2 is then 3.92 kΩ.
Since capacitors are only available in a limited range of standard values, the nearest standard value was chosen
for each capacitor. The measured closed-loop response for this design is shown in Figure 18.
9.2.1.2.5 Bias and Bootstrap Capacitors
Every TPS54110 design requires a bootstrap capacitor (C3), and a bias capacitor (C4). The bootstrap capacitor
must be between 0.022 µF and 0.1 µF. This design uses 0.047 µF. The bootstrap capacitor is located between
the PH pins and BOOT. The bias capacitor is connected between the VBIAS pin and AGND. Recommended
values are 0.1 µF to 1 µF. This design uses 0.1 µF. Use high-quality ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R grade
dielectric for temperature stability. Place them as close to the device pins as possible.

Figure 19 shows an application schematic for a TPS54110 application designed for extremely small size. To
achieve this goal, the design procedure given in the previous application circuit is modified. For example, in order
to use a small-footprint Coilcraft DO3314-103MX inductor, the maximum-allowable inductor ripple current was

9.2.3 Two-Output Sequenced-Startup Application
In Figure 28, the power-good output of U1 is used as a sequencing signal in a two-output design. Connecting the
PWRGD pin of U1 to the SS/ENA pin of U2 causes the 1.5-V output to ramp up after the 3.3-V output is within
regulation. Figure 29 shows the start-up waveforms associated with this circuit.
When VIN reaches the UVLO-start threshold, the U1 output ramps up towards the 3.3-V set point. After the output
reaches 90 percent of 3.3 V, the U1 asserts the power-good signal driving the U2 SS/ENA input high. The output
of U2 then ramps up towards the final output set point of 1.5 V.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The VIN pins are connected together on the printed board (PCB) and bypassed with a low-ESR ceramic bypass
capacitor. Minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pins, and the TPS54110
ground pins. The recommended bypass capacitor is 10-μF (minimum) ceramic with X5R or X7R dielectric. The
optimum placement is closest to the VIN pins and the AGND and PGND pins. See Figure 30 for an example
layout. It has an area of ground on the top layer directly under the IC, with an exposed area for connection to the
PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground area to any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the ground
side of the input and output filter capacitors as well. Tie the AGND and PGND pins to the PCB ground area
under the device as shown. Use a separate wide trace for the analog-ground path, connecting the voltage setpoint divider, timing resistor RT, slow-start capacitor and bias-capacitor grounds. Tie the PH pins together and
route to the output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, locate the inductor very close to the
PH pins, and minimize the area of the conductor to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. Connect the boot
capacitor between the phase node and the BOOT pin as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to the IC and
minimize the conductor trace lengths. Connect the output-filter capacitor(s) as shown between the VOUT trace
and PGND. It is important to keep the loop formed by the PH pins, LOUT, COUT, and PGND as small as is
practical. Place the compensation components from the VOUT trace to the VSENSE and COMP pins. Do not
place these components too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of the IC package and the device pin-out,
they must be somewhat closely routed while maintaining as much separation as possible, yet keeping the layout
compact. Connect the bias capacitor from the VBIAS pin to analog ground using the isolated analog ground
trace. If a slow-start capacitor or RT resistor is used, or if the SYNC pin is used to select 350-kHz operating
frequency, connect them to this trace as well.

10.3 Layout Considerations For Thermal Performance
For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground plane must provide adequate heat dissipation area. A
3-inch-by-3-inch plane of 1-ounce copper is recommended, though not mandatory, depending on ambient
temperature and airflow. Most applications have larger areas of internal ground plane available. Connect the
PowerPAD to the largest area available. Additional areas on the top or bottom layers also help dissipate heat.
Use any area available when 1.5-A or greater operation is desired. Connect the exposed area of the PowerPAD
to the analog ground-plane layer with 0.013-inch-diameter vias to avoid solder wicking through the vias. An
adequate design includes six vias in the PowerPAD area with four additional vias located under the device
package. The size of the vias under the package, but not in the exposed thermal pad area, can be increased to
0.018. Additional vias in areas not under the device package enhance thermal performance.
10.4 Grounding and Powerpad Layout
The TPS54110 has two internal grounds (analog and power). Inside the TPS54110, the analog ground connects
all noise-sensitive signals, while the power ground connects the noisier power signals. The PowerPAD must be
tied directly to AGND. Noise injected between the two grounds can degrade the performance of the TPS54110,
particularly at higher output currents. However, ground noise on an analog ground plane can also cause
problems with some of the control and bias signals. For these reasons, separate analog and power ground
planes are recommended. Tie these two planes together directly at the IC to reduce noise between the two
grounds. The only components that tie directly to the power-ground plane are the input capacitor, the output
capacitor, the input voltage decoupling capacitor, and the PGND pins of the TPS54110. The layout of the
TPS54110 evaluation module represents recommended layout for a 2-layer board. Documentation for the
TPS54110 evaluation module is obtained from the Texas Instruments web site under the TPS54110 product
folder and in the application note, TI literature number SLVA109.
