3 Description
The TPS543C20 employs an internally compensated
emulated peak-current-mode control, with a clock
synchronizable, fixed-frequency modulator for EMIsensitive POL. The internal integrator and directly
amplifying ramp tracking loop eliminate the need for
external compensation over a wide range of
frequencies thereby making the system design
flexible, dense, and simple. Optional API and body
braking help improve transient performance by
significantly reducing undershoot and overshoot,
respectively. Integrated NexFET™ MOSFETs with
low-loss switching facilitate high efficiency and deliver
up to 40 A in a 5-mm × 7-mm PowerStack™ package
with a layout friendly thermal pad. Two TPS543C20
devices can be stacked together to provide up to 80A point-of-load.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS543C20 device is 40-A, high-performance, synchronous buck converter with two integrated N-channel
NexFET™ power MOSFETs. These devices implement the fixed frequency non-compensation mode control.
Safe pre-bias capability eliminates concerns about damaging sensitive loads. Two TPS543C20 devices can be
paralleled together to provide up to 80-A load. Current sensing for over-current protection and current sharing
between devices is done by sampling a small portion of the power stage current providing accurate information
independent on the device temperature.
Advanced Current Mode (ACM) is an emulated peak current control topology. It supports stable static and
transient operation without complex external compensation design. This control architecture includes an internal
ramp generation network that emulates inductor current information, enabling the use of low ESR output
capacitors such as multi-layered ceramic capacitors (MLCC). The internal ramp also creates a high signal to
noise ratio for good noise immunity. The TPS543C20 has 10 ramp options (see Ramp Selections for detail) to
optimize internal loop for various inductor and output capacitor combinations with only a simple resistor to GND.
The TPS543C20 is easy to use and allows low external component count with fast load transient response.
Fixed-frequency modulation also provides ease-of-filter design to overcome EMI noise.

8.3 Feature Description
The TPS543C20 device is a high-performance, integrated FET converter supporting current rating up to 40-A
thermally. It integrates two N-channel NexFET™ power MOSFETs, enabling high power density and small PCB
layout area. The drain-to-source breakdown voltage for these FETs is 20 V DC and transient. Avalanche
breakdown occurs if the absolute maximum voltage rating exceeds 20 V. In order to limit the switch node ringing
of the device, TI recommends adding a R-C snubber from the SW node to the PGND pins. Also a 10~100nF
capacitor from VIN (Pin 25) to GND (Pin2 7) is mandatory to reduce high side FET stress. Refer to Layout
Guidelines for the detailed recommendations.
The typical on-resistance (RDS(on)) for the high-side MOSFET is 3 mΩ and typical on-resistance for the low-side
MOSFET is 0.9 mΩ with a nominal gate voltage (VGS) of 5 V.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Soft-Start Operation
In the TPS543C20 device, the soft-start time controls the inrush current required to charge the output capacitor
bank during start-up. The device offers 10 selectable soft-start options ranging from 0.5 ms to 32 ms. When the
device is enabled the reference voltage ramps from 0 V to the final level defined by VSEL pin strap configuration,
in a given soft-start time, which can be selected by SS pin. See Table 1 for details.

The E48 series resistors with no more than 1% tolerance are recommended.
8.4.2 Input and VDD Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection
The TPS543C20 provides fixed VIN and VDD undervoltage lockout threshold and hysteresis. The typical VIN
turnon threshold is 3.2 V and hysteresis is 0.2 V. The typical VDD turnon threshold is 3.8 V and hysteresis is
0.2 V. No specific power-up sequence is required.
8.4.3 Power Good and Enable
The TPS543C20 has power-good output that indicates logic high when output voltage is within the target. The
power-good function is activated after soft-start has finished. When the soft-start ramp reaches 90% of setpoint,
PGOOD detection function will be enabled. If the output voltage becomes within ±8% of the target value, internal
comparators detect power-good state and the power good signal becomes high after a delay. If the output
voltage goes outside of ±12% of the target value, the power good signal becomes low after an internal delay.
The power-good output is an open-drain output and must be pulled up externally.
This part has internal pull up for EN. EN is internally pulled up to BP when EN pin is floating. EN can be pulled
low through external grounding. When EN pin voltage is below its threshold, TPS543C20 enters into shutdown
operation, and the minimum time for toggle EN to reset is 5 µs.

8.4.4 Voltage Reference
VSEL pin strap is used to program initial boot voltage value from 0.6 V to 1.1 V by the resistor connected from
VSEL to AGND. The initial boot voltage is used to program the main loop voltage reference point. VSEL voltage
settings provide TI designated discrete internal reference voltages. Table 2 lists internal reference voltage
selections.

8.4.5 Prebiased Output Start-up
The device prevent current from being discharged from the output during start-up, when a pre-biased output
condition exists. No SW pulses occur until the internal soft-start voltage rises above the error amplifier input
voltage, if the output is pre-biased. As soon as the soft-start voltage exceeds the error amplifier input, and SW
pulses start, the device limits synchronous rectification after each SW pulse with a narrow on-time. The low-side
MOSFET on-time slowly increases on a cycle-by-cycle basis until 128 pulses have been generated and the
synchronous rectifier runs fully complementary to the high-side MOSFET. This approach prevents the sinking of
current from a pre-biased output, and ensures the output voltage start-up and ramp-to regulation sequences are
smooth and monotonic.
8.4.6 Internal Ramp Generator
Internal ramp voltage is generated from duty cycle that contains emulated inductor ripple current information and
then feed it back for control loop regulation and optimization according to required output power stage, duty ratio
and switching frequency. Internal ramp amplitude is set by RAMP pin by adjusting an internal ramp generation
capacitor CRAMP, selected by the resistor connected from MODE pin to GND. For best performance, we
recommend ramp signal to be no more than 4 times of output ripple signal for all Low ESR output capacitor
(MLCC) applications, or no more than 2 times larger than output ripple signal for regular ESR output capacitor
(Pos-cap) applications. For design recommendation, please find the design tool at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.

8.4.9 Synchronization and Stackable Configuration
The TPS543C20 device can synchronize to an external clock which must be equal to or higher than internal
frequency setting. For stand alone device, the external clock should be applied to the SYNC pin. A sudden
change in synchronization clock frequency causes an associated control loop response, resulting in an overshoot
or undershoot on the output voltage.
In dual phase stackable configuration:
1. when there is no external system clock applied, the master device will be configured as clock master,
sending out pre-set switching frequency clock to slave device through SYNC pin. Slave will receive this clock
as switching clock with phase interleaving.
2. when a system clock is applied, both master and slave devices will be configured as clock slave, they will
sync to the external system clock as switching frequency with proper phase shift

• Direct SYNC, VSHARE and ISHARE connections between Master and Slave.
• Switching frequency is set by RT pin of Master, and pass to slave through SYNC pin. SYNC pin of master will

The operation mode and API/Body Brake feature is set by the MODE pin. They are selected by the resistor
connected from MODE pin to GND. Mode pin sets the device to be stand-alone mode or stackable mode. In
stand-alone mode, MODE pin sets the API on/off or trigger point sensitivity of API (1x stands for most sensitive
and 4x stands for least sensitive). In stackable mode, the MODE pin sets the device as master or slave, as well
as SYNC pin function (sync in or sync out) of the master device.

8.4.12 API/BODY Brake
TPS543C20 is a true fixed frequency converter. The major limitation for any fixed frequency converter is that
during transient load step up, the converter needs to wait for the next clock cycle to response to the load change,
depending on loop bandwidth design and the timing of load transient, this delay time could cause additional
output voltage drop. TPS543C20 implements a special circuitry to improve transient performance. During load
step up, the converter senses both the speed and the amplitude of the output voltage change, if the output
voltage change is fast and big enough, the converter will issue an additional PWM pulse before the next
available clock cycle to stop output voltage from further dropping, thus reducing the undershoot voltage.

During load step down, TPS543C20 implements a body brake function, that turns off both high-side and lowside
FET, and allows power to dissipate through the low-side body diode, reducing overshoot. This approach is very
effective while having some impact on efficiency during transient. See Figure 20 and Figure 21.

8.4.13 Sense and Overcurrent Protection
8.4.13.1 Low-Side MOSFET Overcurrent Protection
The TPS543C20 utilizes ILIM pin to set the OCP level. The ILIM pin should be connected to AGND through the
ILIM voltage setting resistor, RILIM. The ILIM terminal sources IILIM current, which is around 11.2 μA typically at
room temperature, and the ILIM level is set to the OCP ILIM voltage VILIM as shown in Equation 2. In order to
provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, TPS543C20 supports temperature compensated
MOSFET RDS(on) sensing.
V ILIM mV
R ILIM (k:) u IILIM (PA)
Consider RDS(on) variation vs VDD in calculation
(2)
Also, TPS543C20 performs both positive and fixed negative inductor current limiting.
The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between GND pin and SW pin during the OFF time. ILIM has
1200 ppm/°C temperature slope to compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(on). The GND pin is used
as the positive current sensing node.
The device has cycle-by-cycle over-current limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF
state and the controller maintains the OFF state during the period that the inductor current is larger than the
overcurrent ILIM level. VILIM sets the Peak level of the inductor current. Thus, the load current at the overcurrent
threshold, IOCP, can be calculated as shown in .

If an overcurrent event is detected in a given switching cycle, the device increments an overcurrent counter.
When the device detects three consecutive overcurrent (either high-side or low-side) events, the converter
responds, entering continuous restart hiccup. In continuous hiccup mode, the device implements a 7 soft-start
cycle timeout, followed by a normal soft-start attempt. When the overcurrent fault clears, normal operation
resumes; otherwise, the device detects overcurrent and the process repeats.
8.4.13.2 High-Side MOSFET Overcurrent Protection
The device also implements a fixed high-side MOSFET overcurrent protection to limit peak current, and prevent
inductor saturation in the event of a short circuit. The device detects an overcurrent event by sensing the voltage
drop across the high-side MOSFET during ON state. If the peak current reaches the IHOSC level on any given
cycle, the cycle terminates to prevent the current from increasing any further. High-side MOSFET overcurrent
events are counted. If the devices detect three consecutive overcurrent events (high-side or low-side), the
converter responds by entering continuous restart hiccup.
8.4.14 Output Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection
The device includes both output overvoltage protection and output undervoltage protection capability. The
devices compare the RSP pin voltage to internal selectable pre-set voltages. If the RSP voltage with respect to
RSN voltage rises above the output overvoltage protection threshold, the device terminates normal switching and
turns on the low-side MOSFET to discharge the output capacitor and prevent further increases in the output
voltage. Then the device enters continuous restart hiccup.
If the RSP pin voltage falls below the undervoltage protection level, after soft-start has completed, the device
terminates normal switching and forces both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs off, then enters hiccup timeout delay prior to restart.
8.4.15 Overtemperature Protection
An internal temperature sensor protects the devices from thermal runaway. The internal thermal shutdown
threshold, TSD, is fixed at 165°C typical. When the devices sense a temperature above TSD, power conversion
stops until the sensed junction temperature falls by the thermal shutdown hysteresis amount; then, the device
starts up again.
8.4.16 RSP/RSN Remote Sense Function
RSP and RSN pins are used for remote sensing purpose. In the case where feedback resistors are required for
output voltage programming, the RSP pin should be connected to the mid-point of the resistor divider and the
RSN pin should always be connected to the load return.
In the case where feedback resistors are not required as when the VSEL programs the output voltage set point,
the RSP pin should be connected to the positive sensing point of the load and the RSN pin should always be
connected to the load return. RSP and RSN pins are extremely high-impedance input terminals of the true
differential remote sense amplifier. The feedback resistor divider should use resistor values much less than 100
kΩ. A simple rule of thumb is to use a 10-kΩ lower divider resistor and then size the upper resistor to achieve the
desired ratio.

8.4.17 Current Sharing
When devices operate in dual-phase stackable application, a current sharing loop maintains the current balance
between devices. Both devices share the same internal control voltage through VSHARE pin. The sensed
current in each phase is compared first in a current share block by connecting ISHARE pin of each device, then
the error current is added into the internal loop. The resulting voltage is compared with the PWM ramp to
generate the PWM pulse.
8.4.18 Loss of Synchronization
During sync clock condition, each individual converter will continuously compare current falling edge and
previous falling edge, if current falling edge exceeded a 1us delay versus previous pulse, converter will declare a
lost sync fault, and response by pulling down ISHARE to shut down all phases.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Custom Design With WEBENCH® Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the TPS543C20 device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
1. Start by entering the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and output current (IOUT) requirements.
2. Optimize the design for key parameters such as efficiency, footprint, and cost using the optimizer dial.
3. Compare the generated design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
The WEBENCH Power Designer provides a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real-time
pricing and component availability.
In most cases, these actions are available:
• Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance
• Run thermal simulations to understand board thermal performance
• Export customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats
• Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
9.2.2.2 Switching Frequency Selection
Select a switching frequency for the TPS543C20. There is a trade off between higher and lower switching
frequencies. Higher switching frequencies may produce smaller solution size using lower valued inductors and
smaller output capacitors compared to a power supply that switches at a lower frequency. However, the higher
switching frequency causes extra switching losses, which decrease efficiency and impact thermal performance.
In this design, a moderate switching frequency of 500 kHz achieves both a small solution size and a high
efficiency operation is selected. The device supports continuous switching frequency programming; see
Equation 4. additional considerations (internal ramp compensation) other than switching frequency need to be
included.

In this case, a standard resistor value of 40.2 kΩ is selected.
9.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
To calculate the value of the output inductor (L), use Equation 5. The coefficient KIND represents the amount of
inductor-ripple current relative to the maximum output current. The output capacitor filters the inductor-ripple
current. Therefore, selecting a high inductor-ripple current impacts the selection of the output capacitor because
the output capacitor must have a ripple-current rating equal to or greater than the inductor-ripple current.
Generally, the KIND should be kept between 0.1 and 0.3 for balanced performance. Using this target ripple
current, the required inductor size can be calculated as shown in Equation 5.

A standard inductor value of 470 nH is selected. For this application, Wurth 744309047 was used from the weborderable EVM.
9.2.2.4 Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS543C20 devices require a high-quality, ceramic, type X5R or X7R, input decoupling capacitor with a
value of at least 1 μF of effective capacitance on the VDD pin, relative to AGND. The power stage input
decoupling capacitance (effective capacitance at the PVIN and PGND pins) must be sufficient to supply the high
switching currents demanded when the high-side MOSFET switches on, while providing minimal input voltage
ripple as a result. This effective capacitance includes any DC bias effects. The voltage rating of the input
capacitor must be greater than the maximum input voltage. The capacitor must also have a ripple current rating
greater than the maximum input current ripple to the device during full load. The input ripple current can be
calculated using Equation 6.

The minimum input capacitance and ESR values for a given input voltage ripple specification, VIN(ripple), are

The value of a ceramic capacitor varies significantly over temperature and the amount of DC bias applied to the
capacitor. The capacitance variations due to temperature can be minimized by selecting a dielectric material that
is stable over temperature. X5R and X7R ceramic dielectrics are usually selected for power regulator capacitors
because they have a high capacitance to volume ratio and are fairly stable over temperature. The input capacitor
must also be selected with the DC bias taken into account. For this example design, a ceramic capacitor with at
least a 25-V voltage rating is required to support the maximum input voltage. For this design, allow 0.1-V input
ripple for VRIPPLE(cap), and 0.3-V input ripple for VRIPPLE(esr). Using Equation 7 and Equation 8, the minimum input
capacitance for this design is 38.5 µF, and the maximum ESR is 9.4 mΩ. For this example, four 22-μF, 25-V
ceramic capacitors and one additional 100-μF, 25-V low-ESR polymer capacitors in parallel were selected for the
power stage.
9.2.2.5 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A ceramic capacitor with a value of 0.1 μF must be connected between the BOOT and SW pins for proper
operation. It is recommended to use a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric. Use a capacitor with
a voltage rating of 25 V or higher.

9.2.2.6 BP Pin
Bypass the BP pin to GND with 4.7-µF of capacitance. In order for the regulator to function properly, it is
important that these capacitors be localized to the TPS543C20 , with low-impedance return paths. See Power
Good and Enable section for more information.
9.2.2.7 R-C Snubber and VIN Pin High-Frequency Bypass
Though it is possible to operate the TPS543C20 within absolute maximum ratings without ringing reduction
techniques, some designs may require external components to further reduce ringing levels. This example uses
two approaches: a high frequency power stage bypass capacitor on the VIN pins, and an R-C snubber between
the SW area and GND.
The high-frequency VIN bypass capacitor is a lossless ringing reduction technique which helps minimizes the
outboard parasitic inductances in the power stage, which store energy during the low-side MOSFET on-time, and
discharge once the high-side MOSFET is turned on. For this example twin 2.2-nF, 25-V, 0603-sized highfrequency capacitors are used. The placement of these capacitors is critical to its effectiveness.
Additionally, an R-C snubber circuit is added to this example. To balance efficiency and spike levels, a 1-nF
capacitor and a 1-Ω resistor are chosen. In this example a 0805-sized resistor is chosen, which is rated for 0.125
W, nearly twice the estimated power dissipation. See SLUP100 for more information about snubber circuits.
9.2.2.8 Output Capacitor Selection
There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor
affects three criteria:
• Stability
• Regulator response to a change in load current or load transient
• Output voltage ripple
These three considerations are important when designing regulators that must operate where the electrical
conditions are unpredictable. The output capacitance needs to be selected based on the most stringent of these
three criteria.
9.2.2.8.1 Response to a Load Transient
The output capacitance must supply the load with the required current when current is not immediately provided
by the regulator. When the output capacitor supplies load current, the impedance of the capacitor greatly affects
the magnitude of voltage deviation (such as undershoot and overshoot) during the transient.
Use Equation 9 and Equation 10 to estimate the amount of capacitance needed for a given dynamic load step
and release.
NOTE
There are other factors that can impact the amount of output capacitance for a specific
design, such as ripple and stability.

9.2.2.8.2 Ramp Selection Design to Ensure Stability
Certain criteria is recommended for TPS543C20 to achieve optimized loop stability, bandwidth and switching
jitter performance. As a rule of thumb, the internal ramp voltage should be 2~4 times bigger than the output
capacitor ripple(capacitive ripple only). TPS543C20 is defined to be ease-of-use, for most applications, TI
recommends ramp resistor to be 187 kΩ to achieve the optimized jitter and loop response. For detailed design
procedure, see the WEBENCH® Power Designer.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
This device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply between 4 V and 16 V. Ensure the supply is well
regulated. Proper bypassing of input supplies and internal regulators is also critical for noise performance, as is
the quality of the PCB layout and grounding scheme. See the recommendations in Layout.

It is absolutely critical that all GND pins, including AGND (pin 29), GND (pin 27), and PGND (pins 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, and 20) are connected directly to the thermal pad underneath the device via traces or plane.
The number of thermal vias needed to support 40-A thermal operation should be as many as possible; in the
EVM design orderable on the Web, a total of 23 thermal vias are used. The TPS543C20EVM-799 is available
for purchase at ti.com.
Place the power components (including input/output capacitors, output inductor, and TPS543C20 device) on
one side of the PCB (solder side). At least one or two innner layers/planes should be inserted, connecting to
power ground, in order to shield and isolate the small signal traces from noisy power lines.
Place the VIN decoupling capacitors as close to the PVIN and PGND as possible to minimize the input AC
current loop. The high frequency decoupling capacitor (1 nF to 0.1 µF) should be placed next to the PVIN pin
and PGND pin as close as the spacing rule allows. This helps surpressing the switch node ringing.
Place a 10-nF to 100-nF capacitor close to IC from Pin 25 VIN to Pin 27 GND.
Place VDD and BP decoupling capacitors as close to the device pins as possible. Do not use PVIN plane
connection for VDD. VDD needs to be tapped off from PVIN with separate trace connection. Ensure to
provide GND vias for each decoupling capacitor and make the loop as small as possible.
The PCB trace defined as switch node, which connects the SW pins and up-stream of the output inductor
should be as short and wide as possible. In web orderable EVM design, the SW trace width is 400mil. Use
separate via or trace to connect SW node to snubber and bootstrap capacitor. Do not combine these
connections.
All sensitive analog traces and components such as RAMP, RSP, RSN, ILIM, MODE, VSEL and RT should
be placed away from any high voltage switch node (itself and others), such as SW and BOOT to avoid noise
coupling. In addition, MODE, VSEL, ILIM, RAMP and RT programming resistors should be placed near the
device/pins.
The RSP and RSN pins operate as inputs to a differential remote sense amplifier that operates with very high
impedance. It is essential to route the RSP and RSN pins as a pair of diff-traces in Kelvin-sense fashion.
Route them directly to either the load sense points (+ and –) or the output bulk capacitors. The internal circuit
uses the RSP pin for on-time adjustment. It is critical to tie the RSP pin directly tied to VOUT (load sense
point) for accurate output voltage result.
Use caution when routing of the SYNC, VSHARE and ISHARE traces for 2-phase configurations. The SYNC
trace carries a rail-to-rail signal and should be routed away from sensitive analog signals, including the
VSHARE, ISHARE, RT, and FB signals. The VSHARE and ISHARE traces should also be kept away from
fast switching voltages or currents formed by the PVIN, AVIN, SW, BOOT, and BP pins.
