The D-CAP2™ control circuit is optimized for low-ESR output capacitors such as POSCAP, SP-CAP, or ceramic types and features fast transient response with no external compensation. The switching frequency is internally set at a nominal 650 kHz. The high-side and low-side switching MOSFETs are incorporated inside the TPS54527 package along with the gate drive circuitry. The low drain-to-source on resistance of the MOSFETs allows the TPS54527 to achieve high efficiencies and helps keep the junction temperature low at high-output currents. The TPS54527 DC/DC synchronous converter is designed to provide up to a 5-A output from an input voltage source of 4.5 V to 18 V. The output voltage range is from 0.76 V to 6 V. Rated input voltage and output current range for the evaluation module are given in Table 1-1. The TPS54527EVM-052 evaluation module is a single, synchronous buck converter providing 1.05 V at 5 A from 4.5-V to 18-V input. This user’s guide describes the TPS54527EVM-052 performance. Table 1-1.

Some modifications can be made to this module. 3.1 Output Voltage Setpoint To change the output voltage of the EVMs, it is necessary to change the value of resistor R1. Changing the value of R1 can change the output voltage above 0.765 V. The value of R1 for a specific output voltage can be calculated using Equation 1. For output voltage from 0.76 V to 7 V: æ R1 ö VO = 0.765 ´ ç 1+ ÷ è R2 ø (1) Table 3-1 lists the R1 values for some common output voltages. For higher output voltages of 1.8 V or above, a feedforward capacitor (C4) may be required to improve phase margin. Pads for this component (C4) are provided on the printed-circuit board. Note that the resistor values given in Table 3-1 are standard values and not the exact value calculated using Equation 1. Table 3-1.

The recommended output filter components for common output voltages are given in Table 3-1. It is possible for other output filter component values to provide acceptable closed-loop characteristics. R3 and TP4 are provided for convenience in breaking the control loop and measuring the closed-loop response.
