Sample 1% Resistor Values for Common LDO Output Voltages
Background
The Texas Instruments TPS54122 EVM (PWR201) helps design engineers evaluate the operation and
performance of the TPS54122 (Switcher + LDO) for possible use in their own circuit application. This
particular EVM configuration contains all of the external components required for a low noise 3A power
supply solution in a 3.5mm x 5.5mm thermally enhanced QFN with a PowerPad™ . Both the switcher and
the LDO have independent protection and control features such as soft start, internal current limit, thermal
shutdown, power good signal, and enable circuitry.
The TPS54122 is capable of delivering a low noise supply of up to 3 A to the load and is designed to
operate from an input power supply (VIN) of 2.95 V to 5.5 V when the switcher is used to power the LDO.
The TPS54122 EVM provides access to the inputs of both the switcher and LDO, Vin and LDOIN, but this
EVM is optimized and tested using DC-DC_Out connected to LDOIN with a minimum input voltage of
2.95V. Rated input voltages and output current ranges for the evaluation module are given in Table 1.

This evaluation module is designed to demonstrate the printed-circuit-board space savings that may be
achieved when designing with the TPS54122 device compared to stand-alone switcher and LDO
topologies. The integrated switcher (SW) and LDO are optimized to allow the TPS54122 to achieve high
efficiencies and a low output noise. The compensation components are external to the integrated circuit
(IC), and external resistor dividers allow for adjustable output voltages for the switcher and LDO. The
switching frequency is externally controlled and these EVMs are set with a nominal switching frequency of
480 kHz.

Setup
This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM as well as how to properly connect, setup
and use the TPS54122EVM.
2.1
Input and Output Connections
•
•
•
•
•
2
J1 – Vin: Input power supply connector. The positive input lead and ground return lead from the input
power supply should be twisted and kept as short as possible to minimize EMI transmission. Additional
bulk capacitance should be added across J1 and J2 if the supply leads are greater than six inches. For
example, an additional 47 µF electrolytic capacitor across J1 and J2 can improve the transient
response of the TPS54122 by eliminating unwanted voltage drop or ringing on the input due to long
connection wires
J2 – PGND: Input power supply ground connector. The positive input lead and ground return lead from
the input power supply should be twisted and kept as short as possible to minimize EMI transmission.
J3 – LDO VOUT: The output of the LDO. This is the low noise output from the TPS54122 and the
default setting of this EVM is 1.8 V. If the LDO is being loaded using J5, J3 can be used as a kelvin
connection to the output capacitors of the LDO.
J4 – LDO VOUT GND: This is the low noise ground connector that is connected to the ground of the
LDO (GND).
J5 – LDO VOUT SMA: SMA connector for the output voltage of the LDO. The connector for J5 is not
populated on the TPS54122EVM (PWR201). This footprint allows the mounting of an SMA-style
connector for more accurate PSRR and noise measurements. If the LDO is being loaded using J3, J5
can be used as a kelvin connection to the output capacitors of the LDO.

2.2
J6 – DC-DC OUT SMA: SMA connector for the output voltage of the switching regulator. The
connector for J6 is not populated on the TPS54122EVM (PWR201). This footprint allows the mounting
of an SMA-style connector for more accurate PSRR and noise measurements. If the switcher is being
loaded by the LDO or JP2, J6 can be used as a kelvin connection to JP2. If the switcher is being
loaded using J6, the "ON DC_DC OUT" pin on JP1 can be used as a kelvin connection to JP6.
JP1 – LDO EN: LDO enable jumper. This EVM allows for the LDO to be enabled using either the
output of the switcher or the power good signal from the switcher. To enable the LDO using the output
of the switcher place a shorting jumper on the right side position connecting the center pin ("LDO EN")
to "ON DC-DC OUT". To enable the LDO using the power good signal of the switcher place a shorting
jumper on the left side position connecting the center pin ("LDO EN") to "ON PWRGD" If the enable
signal will be provided by an external source connect that source to the center pin labeled "LDO EN".
R10 connects LDOEN to ground through a 100 kΩ resistor so floating the pin labled "LDO EN" will
disable the LDO.
JP2 – SW TO LDO: The jumper connection between the output of the switching converter to the LDO
input. A shorting jumper is required for normal operation. If you want to disconnect the LDO from the
SW, remove the shorting jumper. If the LDO will be powered by an external source (instead of the
internal switcher) remove the shorting jumper and connect the input supply for the LDO to the right
side pin labeled "LDO IN"
JP3 – LDO VBIAS: The jumper connection between VIN and the LDO Vbias. If Vbias is provided by an
external source, connect that source to the pin on the right side labled "LDO VBIAS".
JP4 – SW EN: Switching converter enable jumper. To enable the SWITCHER output, leave this
jumper unconnected (there is an internal pull up on this pin). To disable, install a shorting jumper, this
will short the enable pin to ground.
TP1 – VIN: Input supply test point. This test point connects to the input supply of the switching
regulator.
TP2 – GND: Clean ground test point. This test point connects to the clean ground connected to the
LDO ground.
TP3 – SW GND: Power ground test point. This test point connects to the power ground connected to
the switching regulator.
TP4 – LDO PG: LDO Power Good test point. This test point connects to the power good open-drain
flag of the LDO. Tie this pin through a 10k resistor to a regulated supply ≤ 5.5 V to monitor the status
of the LDO output. Note, no test point is provided for the switching regulator power good signal but can
be monitored using the "ON PWRGD" pin on JP1.
Modifications
These evaluation modules are designed to provide access to the features of the TPS54122. However,
some modifications can be made to this module.
2.2.1
SW Output Voltage Set Point
The output voltage of the switcher is set by the resistor divider formed by R5 and R6. For simplicity the
only component change discussed here will be that of R5, R6 in this document is fixed at 6.2 kΩ since that
is the default EVM setup. However, there is no need to keep R6 = 6.2 kΩ in real applications. For a more
in depth overview of optimizing the TPS54122 for a specific application refer to Application Report
SLVA602, Design Procedures for the TPS54122. The value of R5 for a specific output voltage can be
calculated using Equation 1. Note that the SW output should be 0.5 V above the LDO output for best PSR
and noise performance.
R5 = 6.2 kΩ x [(SW VOUT / 0.827 V) - 1]
(1)
Table 2 lists the R5 and R4 values for some common output voltages. R4 is the compensation resistor
and should be scaled relative to the minimum output resistance which is calculated by dividing VOUT by
IOUT. The values given in Table 2 are standard values, not the exact value calculated using Equation 1.

LDO Output Voltage Set Point
The output voltage of the LDO is also set by an external resistor divider formed by R1 and R2. For
simplicity the only component change discussed here will be that of R1, R2 in this document is fixed at 2.9
kΩ since that is the default EVM setup. However, there is no need to keep R2 = 2.92 kΩ in real
applications. For a more in depth overview of optimizing the TPS54122 for a specific application refer to
Application Report SLVA602, Design Procedures for the TPS54122. The value of R1 for a specific output
voltage can be calculated using Equation 2. Note that the LDO output should be 0.5 V below the SW
output for best PSR and noise performance.
R1 = 10 kΩ (LDO VOUT – 0.8 V) / (0.8 V)

Switcher Slow Start Time
The slow start time can be adjusted by changing the value of C17. Use Equation 3 to calculate the
required value of C17 for a desired slow start time (tss)
C17(nF) = tss(ms) x I(SS)(μA) / Vref(V)
(3)
The switcher has an internal current source (Iss) of 2.2 μA (typ) that charges the external slow start
capacitor C17. The voltage reference Vref(V) for the switcher is 0.827 V (typ).
2.2.4
LDO Start Up
The start up time of the LDO can be adjusted by changing the value of C7. In addition to start up time, the
capacitor on the NR pin is used for noise reduction as well. However, the noise reduction effect is nearly
saturated at 0.01 µF. The value of C7 can be calculated using Equation 4
C7(nF) = tss(ms) x I(NR)(μA) / V(FB)(V)
(4)
The LDO has an internal current source (I(NR)) of 0.73 μA (typ) that charges the external slow start
capacitor C7. The voltage reference Vref(V) for the LDOis 0.8 V (typ).

Turn off the input power supply after verifying that its output voltage is set to the desired supply voltage
(less than 5.5 V) and the current limit is set to approximately 5 A. Connect the positive voltage lead
from the input power supply to J1 (VIN) and the ground lead to J2 (PGND).
Connect a 0-3 A load (ILoad) between LDO OUT and GND using J3 and J4.
Place a shorting jumper on JP3 to connect LDO VBIAS to VIN.
Place a shorting jumper on JP2 to connect "DC-DC OUT" to "LDO IN"
Disable the output of the LDO by removing the shorting jumper at JP1, this will pull the LDOEN voltage
low through R10.
Turn on the input power supply. Verify that the switcher output voltage is near 2.2 V and the LDO
output is near 0V.
Enable the LDO output by placing a shorting jumper on JP1.
Verify that the LDO output voltage is 1.8V.
Vary the load current and VIN voltage as necessary for test purposes.
Make any modifications necessary to replicate the desired specifications of the end use application and
re-test accordingly.

Board Layout
This section provides a description of the TPS54122, board layout, and layer illustrations.
5.1
Layout Description
The board layout for the TPS54122 evaluation board is shown in Figure 8 through Figure 13. The board
consists of 4 layers. It is laid out in such a way that the analog ground of the LDO is shielded as much as
possible from the noise of the switcher. Critical analog circuits such as the voltage divider, noise reduction
capacitor, input and output capacitors are terminated to the low noise analog ground pour. The topside
layer of the EVM is laid out in a manner similar to many user's applications.

Board Layout
www.ti.com
The top layer contains the analog ground of the LDO, a portion of the output power ground of the SW
side, and the majority of the external components. The first internal layer is connected to the power pad
and the analog ground of the IC; mostly this layer is used for power dissipation. This layer also contains
the input voltage plane for the switcher. This plane connects the input capacitor and the J1 connector.
Only a few separate traces are implemented on this layer such as the LDO enable, and the PWRGD test
point trace. The second internal layer is also primarily used for analog ground. To shield the LDO ground
from the switch node noise, a small isolated power ground plane is made in the center of this layer to
reduce capacitive coupling with the analog ground. The inductor (L1) and the output caps (C9, C10) for
the switcher are located close to the center of the bottom layer. The majority of the remaining surface area
is connected to the analog ground and connects to the top and internal layers through vias. Some of these
vias are directly under the TPS54122 device to provide a thermal path from the top-side ground plane to
the internal and bottom-side ground planes. Power ground is also routed on the bottom layer connecting
the J2 connector to the input capacitors and compensation components through vias. The only connection
between power ground and analog ground is made through a separate set of vias also terminating on the
bottom layer.
The input decoupling capacitor of the switcher (C5) is located as close as possible to the IC. connected
through vias to the bottom layer power ground. The inductor (L1), the boot cap (C12), and the output caps
of the switcher (C9, C10) are placed on the bottom layer of the board to help shield the LDO from the
switching noise. The boot cap (C12) and the inductor (L1) are connected through vias that terminate very
close to the PH pin of the IC. This connects them as close as possible to the PH pin, reducing parasitic
inductance caused by long traces, and still allows the LDO to be shielded from some of the switching
noise. The input (C13, C14, C15), output (C2, C3, C4), and noise reduction capacitors (C7) of the LDO
are also placed as close as possible to the IC.
The input of the LDO is connected to the output of the switcher using a shorting jumper and the power
plane is parallel to the ground plane that connects the ground on the LDO with the ground of the switcher.
LDO components that are noise sensitive such as the voltage divider (R1, R2), the LDO input and output
caps are terminated to ground using a ground plane separated from the majority of the power ground
plane.
