•
Low-voltage, high-density power systems
Point-of-load regulation for high-performance
DSPs, FPGAs, ASICs, and microprocessors
Broadband, networking, and optical
communications infrastructure
The TPS54618 enables small designs by integrating
the MOSFETs, implementing current-mode control to
reduce external component count, reducing inductor
size by enabling up to 2-MHz switching frequency,
and minimizing the IC footprint with a small, 3-mm ×
3-mm, thermally-enhanced WQFN package.
The TPS54618 provides accurate regulation for a
variety of loads with an accurate ±1% voltage
reference (VREF) over temperature.
Efficiency is maximized through the integrated
12-mΩ MOSFETs and 515-μA typical supply current.
Using the enable pin, shutdown supply current is
reduced to 5.5-µA by entering a shutdown mode.
Undervoltage lockout is internally set at 2.6 V, but
can be increased by programming the threshold with
a resistor network on the enable pin. The outputvoltage start-up ramp is controlled by the slow-start
pin. An open-drain power-good signal indicates the
output is within 93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.
Frequency foldback and thermal shutdown protect the
device during an overcurrent condition.

7.3.10 Constant Switching Frequency and Timing Resistor (RT/CLK Pin)
The switching frequency of the TPS54618 is adjustable over a wide range from 300 kHz to 2000 kHz by placing
a maximum of 700 kΩ and minimum of 85 kΩ, respectively, on the RT/CLK pin. An internal amplifier holds this
pin at a fixed voltage when using an external resistor to ground to set the switching frequency. The RT/CLK is
typically 0.5 V. To determine the timing resistance for a given switching frequency, use the curve in Equation 9 or
Equation 10.

RT(kW )
(10)
To reduce the solution size one would typically set the switching frequency as high as possible, but tradeoffs of
the efficiency, maximum input voltage, and minimum controllable ON-time should be considered.
The minimum controllable ON-time is typically 75 ns at full current load and 120 ns at no load, and limits the
maximum operating input voltage or output voltage.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.11 Overcurrent Protection
The TPS54618 implements a cycle-by-cycle current limit. During each switching cycle the high-side switch
current is compared to the voltage on the COMP pin. When the instantaneous switch current intersects the
COMP voltage, the high-side switch is turned off. During overcurrent conditions that pull the output voltage low,
the error amplifier responds by driving the COMP pin high, increasing the switch current. The error amplifier
output is clamped internally. This clamp functions as a switch current limit.
7.3.12 Frequency Shift
To operate at high switching frequencies and provide protection during overcurrent conditions, the TPS54618
implements a frequency shift. If frequency shift was not implemented, during an overcurrent condition the lowside MOSFET may not be turned off long enough to reduce the current in the inductor, causing a current
runaway. With frequency shift, during an overcurrent condition the switching frequency is reduced from 100%,
then 50%, then 25%, as the voltage decreases from 0.799 to 0 V on VSENSE pin to allow the low-side MOSFET
to be off long enough to decrease the current in the inductor. During start-up, the switching frequency increases
as the voltage on VSENSE increases from 0 to 0.799 V.
7.3.13 Reverse Overcurrent Protection
The TPS54618 implements low-side current protection by detecting the voltage across the low-side MOSFET.
When the converter sinks current through its low-side FET, the control circuit turns off the low-side MOSFET if
the reverse current is typically more than 4.5 A. By implementing this additional protection scheme, the converter
is able to protect itself from excessive current during power cycling and start-up into prebiased outputs.
7.3.14 Synchronize Using the RT/CLK Pin
The RT/CLK pin is used to synchronize the converter to an external system clock. See Figure 33. To implement
the synchronization feature in a system, connect a square wave to the RT/CLK pin with an ON-time of at least
75 ns. If the pin is pulled above the PLL upper threshold, a mode change occurs and the pin becomes a
synchronization input. The internal amplifier is disabled and the pin is a high impedance clock input to the
internal PLL. If clocking edges stop, the internal amplifier is re-enabled and the mode returns to the frequency set
by the resistor. The square wave amplitude at this pin must transition lower than 0.6 V and higher than 1.6 V
typically. The synchronization frequency range is 300 kHz to 2000 kHz. The rising edge of the PH is
synchronized to the falling edge of RT/CLK pin.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.15 Power Good (PWRGD Pin)
The PWRGD pin output is an open-drain MOSFET. The output is pulled low when the VSENSE voltage enters
the fault condition by falling below 91% or rising above 109% of the nominal internal reference voltage. There is
a 2% hysteresis on the threshold voltage, so when the VSENSE voltage rises to the good condition above 93%
or falls below 107% of the internal voltage reference, the PWRGD output MOSFET is turned off. TI recommends
using a pullup resistor between the values of 1 kΩ and 100 kΩ to a voltage source that is 6 V or less. The
PWRGD is in a valid state once the VIN input voltage is greater than 1.5 V.
7.3.16 Overvoltage Transient Protection
The TPS54618 incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot
when recovering from output fault conditions or strong unload transients. The OVTP feature minimizes the output
overshoot by implementing a circuit to compare the VSENSE pin voltage to the OVTP threshold which is 109%
of the internal voltage reference. If the VSENSE pin voltage is greater than the OVTP threshold, the high-side
MOSFET is disabled, preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot. When the
VSENSE voltage drops lower than the OVTP threshold, the high-side MOSFET is allowed to turn on the next
clock cycle.
7.3.17 Thermal Shutdown
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 168°C.
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds the thermal
trip threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 150°C, the device reinitiates the power-up sequence
by discharging the SS pin to below 40 mV. The thermal shutdown hysteresis is 20°C.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Simple Small Signal Model for Peak Current Mode Control
Figure 35 shows an equivalent model for the TPS54618 control loop which can be modeled in a circuit simulation
program to check frequency response and dynamic load response. The error amplifier is a transconductance
amplifier with a gm of 245 μA/V. The error amplifier can be modeled using an ideal voltage controlled current
source. The resistor R0 and capacitor Co model the open loop gain and frequency response of the amplifier. The
1-mV AC voltage source between the nodes a and b effectively breaks the control loop for the frequency
response measurements. Plotting a/c shows the small signal response of the frequency compensation. Plotting
a/b shows the small signal response of the overall loop. The dynamic loop response can be checked by
replacing the RL with a current source with the appropriate load step amplitude and step rate in a time domain
analysis.

Figure 35. Small Signal Model for Loop Response
Figure 35 is a simple, small-signal model that can be used to understand how to design the frequency
compensation. The TPS54618 power stage can be approximated to a voltage-controlled current source (duty
cycle modulator) supplying current to the output capacitor and load resistor. The control to output transfer
function is shown in Equation 11 and consists of a DC gain, one dominant pole and one ESR zero. The quotient
of the change in switch current and the change in COMP pin voltage (node c in Figure 35) is the power stage
transconductance. The gm for the TPS54618 is 25 A/V. The low frequency gain of the power stage frequency
response is the product of the transconductance and the load resistance as shown in Equation 12. As the load
current increases and decreases, the low frequency gain decreases and increases, respectively. This variation
with load may seem problematic at first glance, but the dominant pole moves with load current. The combined
effect is highlighted by the dashed line in the right half of Figure 37. As the load current decreases, the gain
increases and the pole frequency lowers, keeping the 0-dB crossover frequency the same for the varying load
conditions which makes it easier to design the frequency compensation.

7.4.2 Small Signal Model for Frequency Compensation
The TPS54618 uses a transconductance amplifier for the error amplifier and readily supports two of the
commonly used frequency compensation circuits. The compensation circuits are shown in Figure 38. The Type 2
circuits are most likely implemented in high-bandwidth power supply designs using low ESR output capacitors. In
Type 2A, one additional high-frequency pole is added to attenuate high-frequency noise.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
The design guidelines for TPS54618 loop compensation are as follows:
1. The modulator pole, fpmod, and the esr zero, fz1, must be calculated using Equation 15 and Equation 16.
Derating the output capacitor (COUT) may be needed if the output voltage is a high percentage of the
capacitor rating. Use the capacitor manufacturer information to derate the capacitor value. Use Equation 17
and Equation 18 to estimate a starting point for the crossover frequency, fc. Equation 17 is the geometric
mean of the modulator pole and the esr zero and Equation 18 is the mean of modulator pole and the
switching frequency. Use the lower value of Equation 17 or Equation 18 as the maximum crossover
frequency.

8.2.2.2
Step One: Select the Switching Frequency
The first step is to decide on a switching frequency for the regulator. Typically, you want to choose the highest
switching frequency possible because this produces the smallest solution size. The high-switching frequency
allows for lower valued inductors and smaller output capacitors compared to a power supply that switches at a
lower frequency. However, the highest switching frequency causes extra switching losses, which hurt the the
performance of the converter. The converter is capable of running from 300 kHz to 2 MHz. Unless a small
solution size is an ultimate goal, a moderate switching frequency of 1 MHz is selected to achieve both a small
solution size and a high-efficiency operation. Using Equation 9, R4 is calculated to be 180 kΩ. A standard 1%
182-kΩ value was chosen in the design.
8.2.2.3 Step Two: Select the Output Inductor
The inductor selected works for the entire TPS54618 input voltage range. To calculate the value of the output
inductor, use Equation 22. KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the
maximum output current. The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. Therefore, choosing high
inductor ripple currents 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. In general, the inductor ripple value is at
the discretion of the designer; however, KIND is normally from 0.1 to 0.3 for the majority of applications.
For this design example, use KIND = 0.3 and the inductor value is calculated to be 0.7 μH. For this design, a
nearest standard value was chosen: 0.75 μH. For the output filter inductor, it is important that the RMS current
and saturation current ratings not be exceeded. The RMS and peak inductor current can be found from
Equation 24 and Equation 25.
For this design, the RMS inductor current is 6.01 A and the peak inductor current is 6.84 A. The chosen inductor
is a Toko FDV0630-R75M. It has a saturation current rating of 10 A and a RMS current rating of 8.9 A.
The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the output current. During power up,
faults or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the calculated peak inductor current
level calculated above. In transient conditions, the inductor current can increase up to the switch current limit of
the device. For this reason, the most conservative approach is to specify an inductor with a saturation current
rating equal to or greater than the switch current limit rather than the peak inductor current.

8.2.2.4 Step Three: Choose the Output Capacitor
There are three primary considerations for selecting the value of the output capacitor. The output capacitor
determines the modulator pole, the output voltage ripple, and how the regulator responds to a large change in
load current. The output capacitance needs to be selected based on the more stringent of these three criteria.
The desired response to a large change in the load current is the first criteria. The output capacitor needs to
supply the load with current when the regulator can not. This situation would occur if there are desired hold-up
times for the regulator where the output capacitor must hold the output voltage above a certain level for a
specified amount of time after the input power is removed. The regulator is temporarily not able to supply
sufficient output current if there is a large, fast increase in the current needs of the load such as transitioning
from no load to a full load. The regulator usually needs two or more clock cycles for the control loop to see the
change in load current and output voltage and adjust the duty cycle to react to the change. The output capacitor
must be sized to supply the extra current to the load until the control loop responds to the load change. The
output capacitance must be large enough to supply the difference in current for 2 clock cycles while only allowing
a tolerable amount of droop in the output voltage. Equation 26 shows the minimum output capacitance necessary
to accomplish this.
For this example, the transient load response is specified as a 3% change in Vout for a load step from 1.5 A
(25% load) to 4.5 A (75% load). For this example, ΔIout = 4.5 – 1.5 = 3.0 A and ΔVout= 0.04 × 1.8 = 0.072 V.
Using these numbers gives a minimum capacitance of 83 μF. This value does not take the ESR of the output
capacitor into account in the output voltage change. For ceramic capacitors, the ESR is usually small enough to
ignore in this calculation.
Equation 27 calculates the minimum output capacitance needed to meet the output voltage ripple specification.
Where fsw is the switching frequency, Vripple is the maximum allowable output voltage ripple, and Iripple is the
inductor ripple current. In this case, the maximum output voltage ripple is 30 mV. Under this requirement,
Equation 27 yields 7 μF.

space
Equation 28 calculates the maximum ESR an output capacitor can have to meet the output voltage ripple
specification. Equation 28 indicates the ESR should be less than 18 mΩ. In this case, the ESR of the ceramic
capacitor is much less than 18 mΩ.
Additional capacitance de-ratings for aging, temperature and DC bias should be factored in which increases this
minimum value. For this example, five 22-μF, 10-V X5R ceramic capacitors with 3 mΩ of ESR are used. The
estimated capacitance after derating by a factor 0.75 is 82.5 µF.
Capacitors generally have limits to the amount of ripple current they can handle without failing or producing
excess heat. An output capacitor that can support the inductor ripple current must be specified. Some capacitor
data sheets specify the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of the maximum ripple current. Equation 29 can be used
to calculate the RMS ripple current the output capacitor needs to support. For this application, Equation 29 yields
520 mA.

8.2.2.5 Step Four: Select the Input Capacitor
The TPS54618 requires a high-quality ceramic, type X5R or X7R, input decoupling capacitor of at least 10 μF of
effective capacitance and in some applications a bulk capacitance. The 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 of the TPS54618.
The input ripple current can be calculated using Equation 30.
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 output
capacitor must also be selected with the DC bias taken into account. The capacitance value of a capacitor
decreases as the DC bias across a capacitor increases.
For this example design, a ceramic capacitor with at least a 10-V voltage rating is required to support the
maximum input voltage. For this example, two 10-μF and one 0.1-μF 10-V capacitors in parallel have been
selected. The input capacitance value determines the input ripple voltage of the regulator. The input voltage
ripple can be calculated using Equation 31. Using the design example values (Ioutmax = 6 A, Cin = 20 μF, Fsw =
1 MHz) yields an input voltage ripple of 149 mV and an RMS input ripple current of 2.94 A.

8.2.2.6 Step Five: Choose the Soft-Start Capacitor
The slow-start capacitor determines the minimum amount of time it takes for the output voltage to reach its
nominal programmed value during power up. This is useful if a load requires a controlled voltage slew rate. This
is also used if the output capacitance is very large and would require large amounts of current to quickly charge
the capacitor to the output voltage level. The large currents necessary to charge the capacitor may make the
TPS54618 reach the current limit or excessive current draw from the input power supply may cause the input
voltage rail to sag. Limiting the output voltage slew rate solves both of these problems.
The slow-start capacitor value can be calculated using Equation 32. For the example circuit, the slow-start time is
not too critical because the output capacitor value is 110 μF which does not require much current to charge to
1.8 V. The example circuit has the slow-start time set to an arbitrary value of 4 ms which requires a 10-nF
capacitor. In TPS54618, Iss is 2.2 μA and Vref is 0.799 V.

8.2.2.7 Step Six: Select the Bootstrap Capacitor
A 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BOOT to PH pin for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor with X5R or better grade dielectric. The capacitor should have 10-V or
higher voltage rating.
8.2.2.8 Step Eight: Select Output Voltage and Feedback Resistors
For the example design, 100 kΩ was selected for R6. Using Equation 33, R7 is calculated as 80 kΩ. The nearest
standard 1% resistor is 80.6 kΩ.

8.2.2.8.1 Output Voltage Limitations
Due to the internal design of the TPS54618, there is a minimum output voltage limit for any given input voltage.
The output voltage can never be lower than the internal voltage reference of 0.799 V. Above 0.799 V, the output
voltage may be limited by the minimum controllable ON-time. The minimum output voltage in this case is given
by Equation 34.

Ioutmin = minimum load current
RDSmin = minimum high-side MOSFET ON-resistance (see Electrical Characteristics)

output voltage is given by Equation 35.

8.2.2.9 Step Nine: Select Loop Compensation Components
There are several industry techniques used to compensate DC–DC regulators. The method presented here is
easy to calculate and yields high phase margins. For most conditions, the regulator has a phase margin between
60 and 90 degrees. The method presented here ignores the effects of the slope compensation that is internal to
the TPS54618. Because the slope compensation is ignored, the actual cross over frequency is usually lower than
the cross over frequency used in the calculations. Use SwitcherPro software for a more accurate design.
To get started, the modulator pole, fpmod, and the esr zero, fz1 must be calculated using Equation 36 and
Equation 37. For COUT, the derated capacitance value is 82.5 µF. Use Equation 38 and Equation 39 to estimate a
starting point for the crossover frequency, fc. For the example design, fpmod is 6.43 kHz and fzmod is 643 kHz.
Equation 38 is the geometric mean of the modulator pole and the esr zero and Equation 39 is the mean of
modulator pole and the switching frequency. Equation 38 yields 64.3 kHz and Equation 39 gives 56.7 kHz. The
lower value of Equation 38 or Equation 39 is the maximum recommended crossover frequency. For this example,
a lower fc value of 40 kHz is specified. Next, the compensation components are calculated. A resistor in series
with a capacitor is used to create a compensating zero. A capacitor in parallel to these two components forms
the compensating pole (if needed).

The compensation design takes the following steps:
1. Set up the anticipated crossover frequency. Use Equation 40 to calculate the resistor value of the
compensation network. In this example, the anticipated crossover frequency (fc) is 40 kHz. The power stage
gain (gmps) is 25 A/V and the error amplifier gain (gmea) is 245 μA/V.

2. Place compensation zero at the pole formed by the load resistor and the output capacitor. The capacitor of
the compensation network can be calculated from Equation 41.

3. An additional pole can be added to attenuate high-frequency noise. In this application, it is not necessary to

From the previously listed procedures, the compensation network includes a 7.50-kΩ resistor and a
3300-pF capacitor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
These devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply between 2.95 V and 6 V. This supply must
be well regulated. Proper bypassing of input supplies and internal regulators is also critical for noise
performance, as is PCB layout and grounding scheme. See the recommendations in Layout Guidelines.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Layout is a critical portion of good power supply design. There are several signal paths that conduct fast
changing currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise
or degrade the power supplies performance.
• Minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections and the VIN pins. See Figure 50 for a
PCB layout example.
• The GND pins and AGND pin should be tied directly to the power pad under the TPS54618 device. The
power pad should be connected to any internal PCB ground planes using multiple vias directly under the
device. Additional vias can be used to connect the top-side ground area to the internal planes near the input
and output capacitors. For operation at full rated load, the top-side ground area along with any additional
internal ground planes must provide adequate heat dissipating area.
• Place the input bypass capacitor as close to the device as possible.
• Route the PH pin to the output inductor. Because the PH connection is the switching node, place the output
inductor close to the PH pins. Minimize the area of the PCB conductor to prevent excessive capacitive
coupling.
• The boot capacitor must also be located close to the device.
• The sensitive analog ground connections for the feedback voltage divider, compensation components, softstart capacitor and frequency set resistor should be connected to a separate analog ground trace as shown in
Figure 50.
• The RT/CLK pin is particularly sensitive to noise so the RT resistor should be located as close as possible to
the device and routed with minimal trace lengths.
• The additional external components can be placed approximately as shown. It is possible to obtain
acceptable performance with alternate PCB layouts; however, this layout has been shown to produce good
results and can be used as a guide.
