TPS54527
SLVSAY5D – JULY 2011 – REVISED AUGUST 2016
TPS54527 4.5-V to 18-V Input, 5-A Synchronous Step-Down Converter
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS54527 is an adaptive on-time D-CAP2 mode
synchronous buck converter. The TPS54527 enables
system designers to complete the suite of various
end equipment’s power bus regulators with a cost
effective, low component count, low standby current
solution. The main control loop for the TPS54527
uses the D-CAP2 mode control which provides a fast
transient response with no external compensation
components. The TPS54527 also has a proprietary
circuit that enables the device to adopt to both low
equivalent series resistance (ESR) output capacitors,
such as POSCAP or SP-CAP, and ultra-low ESR
ceramic capacitors. The device operates from a 4.5-V
to 18-V input. The output voltage can be programmed
from 0.76 V to 6 V. The device also features an
adjustable soft-start time. The TPS54527 is available
in the 8-pin DDA package, and designed to operate
from –40°C to 85°C.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS54527 is a 5-A synchronous step-down (buck) converter with two integrated N-channel MOSFETs. It
operates using D-CAP2 mode control. The fast transient response of D-CAP2 control reduces the output
capacitance required 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 Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start
The soft start function is adjustable. When the EN pin becomes high, 6-µA current begins charging the capacitor
which is connected from the SS pin to GND. Smooth control of the output voltage is maintained during start up.
The equation for the slow start time is shown in Equation 1. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is
6-µA.

SLVSAY5D – JULY 2011 – REVISED AUGUST 2016
Feature Description (continued)
The TPS54527 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
becomes greater than 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 on-time on a cycle-bycycle 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-bias output, and ensure that the output voltage (VOUT) starts and
ramps up smoothly into regulation and the control loop is given time to transition from pre-biased start-up to
normal mode operation.
7.3.2 Current Protection
The output overcurrent protection (OCP) is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect control circuit. The
switch current is monitored by measuring the low-side FET switch voltage between the SW pin and GND. This
voltage is proportional to the switch current. To improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature
compensated.
During the on time of the high-side FET switch, the switch current increases at a linear rate determined by VIN,
VOUT, the on-time and the output inductor value. During the on time of the low-side FET switch, this current
decreases linearly. The average value of the switch current is the load current (IOUT). The TPS54527 constantly
monitors the low-side FET switch voltage, which is proportional to the switch current, during the low-side on-time.
If the measured voltage is above the voltage proportional to the current limit, an internal counter is incremented
per each SW cycle and the converter maintains the low-side switch on until the measured voltage is below the
voltage corresponding to the current limit at which time the switching cycle is terminated and a new switching
cycle begins. In subsequent switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in
the same manner. If the over current condition exists for 7 consecutive switching cycles, the internal OCL
threshold is set to a lower level, reducing the available output current. When a switching cycle occurs where the
switch current is not above the lower OCL threshold, the counter is reset and the OCL limit is returned to the
higher value.
There are some important considerations for this type of over-current protection. The peak current is the average
load current plus one half of the peak-to-peak inductor current. The valley current is the average load current
minus one half of the peak-to-peak inductor current. Because the valley current is used to detect the overcurrent
threshold, the load current is higher than the over-current threshold. Also, when the current is being limited, the
output voltage tends to fall as the demanded load current may be higher than the current available from the
converter. When the over current condition is removed, the output voltage returns to the regulated value. This
protection is non-latching.
7.3.3 UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is
lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS54527 is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
TPS54527 monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 165°C),
the device is shut off. This is non-latch protection.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS54527 is an adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller that
supports a proprietary D-CAP2 mode control. D-CAP2 mode 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.

SLVSAY5D – JULY 2011 – REVISED AUGUST 2016

Device Functional Modes (continued)
At the beginning of each cycle, the high-side MOSFET is turned on. This MOSFET is turned off after internal one
shot timer expires. This one shot is set by the converter input voltage (VIN) and the output voltage (VOUT) to
maintain a pseudo-fixed frequency over the input voltage range, hence it is called adaptive on-time control. The
one-shot timer is reset and the high-side MOSFET is turned on again when the feedback voltage falls below the
reference voltage. An internal ramp is added to reference voltage to simulate output ripple, eliminating the need
for ESR induced output ripple from D-CAP2 mode control.
7.4.2 PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS54527 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The
TPS54527 runs with a pseudo-constant frequency of 650 kHz by using the input voltage and output voltage to
set the on-time one-shot timer. The on-time is inversely proportional to the input voltage and proportional to the
output voltage, therefore, when the duty ratio is VOUT / VIN, the frequency is constant.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Output Voltage Resistors Selection
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. TI recommends using a 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. Start by using Equation 2 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at very light loads consider using larger value resistors, too high of resistance is more
susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the VFB input current is more noticeable.

8.2.2.2 Output Filter Selection
The output filter used with the TPS54527 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has a double pole at:
F =
P
2p L
1
x COUT
OUT
(3)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS54527. The low frequency phase is 180 degrees. At the output filter pole frequency, the gain rolls
off at a –40 dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. D-CAP2 introduces a high frequency zero that
reduces the gain roll off to –20 dB per decade and increases the phase to 90 degrees one decade above the
zero frequency. The inductor and capacitor selected for the output filter must be selected so that the double pole
of Equation 3 is located below the high frequency zero but close enough that the phase boost provided be the
high frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. TI recommends the values in Table 2 to
meet this requirement.

Optional
Because the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value increases as the output
voltage increases. For higher output voltages at or above 1.8 V, additional phase boost can be achieved by
adding a feed forward capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 4,
Equation 5, and Equation 6. The inductor saturation current rating must be greater than the calculated peak
current and the RMS or heating current rating must be greater than the calculated RMS current. Use 700 kHz for
fSW.
Use 650 kHz for fSW. Chose an inductor that is rated for the peak current of Equation 5 and the RMS current of
Equation 6.

SLVSAY5D – JULY 2011 – REVISED AUGUST 2016
For this design example, the calculated peak current is 5.51 A and the calculated RMS current is 5.01 A. The
inductor used is a TDK SPM6530-1R5M100 with a peak current rating of 11.5 A and an RMS current rating of
11 A.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54527 is intended for use
with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 22 µF to 68 µF. Use Equation 7 to
determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

(7)
For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22-µF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each.
The calculated RMS current is 0.29 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4 A.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54527 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is required depending on the
application. TI recommends a ceramic capacitor over 10 µF for the decoupling capacitor. An additional 0.1-µF
capacitor (C3) from VIN to ground is optional to provide additional high frequency filtering. The capacitor voltage
rating must to be greater than the maximum input voltage.
8.2.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VBST and SW pins for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor.
8.2.2.5 VREG5 Capacitor Selection
A 1-µF. ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 and GND pins for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input voltage range is from 4.5 V to 18 V. The input power supply and the input capacitors must be placed
as close to the device as possible to minimize the impedance of the power-supply line.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
1. The TPS54527 can supply large load currents up to 5 A, so heat dissipation may be a concern. The top side
area adjacent to the TPS54527 must be filled with ground as much as possible to dissipate heat.
2. The bottom side area directly below the IC must a dedicated ground area. It must be directly connected to
the thermal pad of the device using vias as shown. The ground area must be as large as practical. Additional
internal layers can be dedicated as ground planes and connected to the vias as well.
3. Keep the input switching current loop as small as possible.
4. Keep the SW node as physically small and short as possible to minimize parasitic capacitance and
inductance and to minimize radiated emissions. Kelvin connections must be brought from the output to the
feedback pin of the device.
5. Keep analog and non-switching components away from switching components.
6. Make a single point connection from the signal ground to power ground.
7. Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
8. Keep the pattern lines for VIN and PGND broad.
9. Exposed pad of device must be connected to PGND with solder.
10. VREG5 capacitor must be placed near the device, and connected PGND.
11. Output capacitor must be connected to a broad pattern of the PGND.
12. Voltage feedback loop must be as short as possible, and preferably with ground shield.
13. Lower resistor of the voltage divider which is connected to the VFB pin must be tied to SGND.
14. Providing sufficient via is required for VIN, SW and PGND connection.
15. PCB pattern for VIN, SW, and PGND must be as broad as possible.
16. VIN capacitor must be placed as near as possible to the device.

10.3 Thermal Consideration
This 8-pin DDA package incorporates an exposed thermal pad that is designed to be directly to an external heat
sink. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to the printed board (PCB). After soldering, the PCB can be used
as a heat sink. In addition, through the use of thermal vias, the thermal pad can be attached directly to the
appropriate copper plane shown in the electrical schematic for the device, or alternatively, can be attached to a
special heat sink structure designed into the PCB. This design optimizes the heat transfer from the integrated
circuit (IC).
For additional information on the exposed thermal pad and how to use the advantage of its heat dissipating
abilities, see PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package and PowerPAD Made Easy.
The exposed thermal pad dimensions for this package are shown in Figure 16.
