The main control loop for the TPS54628 uses the
D-CAP2 mode control that provides a fast transient
response
with
no
external
compensation
components. The adaptive on-time control supports
seamless transition between PWM mode at higher
load conditions and Eco-Mode operation at light
loads. Eco-Mode allows the TPS54628 to maintain
high efficiency during lighter load conditions. The
TPS54628 also has a proprietary circuit that enables
the device to adopt to both low equivalent-seriesresistance (ESR) output capacitors, such as
POSCAP or SP-CAP, and ultra-low ESR ceramic
capacitors.
The device operates from 4.5-V to 18-V VIN input.
The output voltage can be programmed between
0.76 V and 5.5 V. The device also features an
adjustable soft-start time. The TPS54628 is available
in the 8-pin SO PowerPAD package, and designed to
operate from –40°C to 85°C.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS54628 is a 6-A Eco-Mode™ 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 Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ Control
The TPS54628 is designed with Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ to increase light load efficiency. As the output current
decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to point that its
rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous
conduction modes. The rectifying MOSFET is turned off when its zero inductor current is detected. As the load
current further decreases the converter run into discontinuous conduction mode. The on time is kept almost the
same as is was in the continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer time to discharge the output capacitor
with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. The transition point to the light load operation
IOUT(LL) current can be calculated in Equation 1.
(VIN - VOUT )×VOUT
1
×
I OUT ( LL ) =
2 × L × fsw
VIN
(1)
7.3.2 Soft Start and Prebiased 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 2. VFB voltage is 0.765 V and SS pin source current is
6 µA.
C6(nF) ´ VFB ´ 1.1 C6(nF) ´ 0.765 ´ 1.1
t SS (ms) =
=
ISS (μA)

(2)
The TPS54628 contains a unique circuit to prevent current from being pulled from the output during start-up if the
output is prebiased. When the soft-start commands a voltage higher than the prebias 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 out voltage (VO) starts and ramps
up smoothly into regulation and the control loop is given time to transition from prebiased start-up to normal
mode operation.
7.3.3 Output Discharge Control
TPS54628 discharges the output when EN is low, or the controller is turned off by the UVLO protection. The
internal low-side MOSFET is not turned on for the output discharge operation to avoid the possibility of causing
negative voltage at the output.
7.3.4 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 TPS54628 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 overcurrent 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.

SLVSBW5A – APRIL 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2016
Feature Description (continued)
There are some important considerations for this type of overcurrent 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 overcurrent threshold. Also, when the current is being limited, the
output voltage tends to fall. When the VFB voltage becomes lower than 65% of the target voltage, the UVP
comparator detects it. If the undervoltage condition persists for 250 µs, the device shuts down and restarts in
hiccup mode after 7 times the SS period. When the overcurrent condition is removed, the output voltage returns
to the regulated value. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.5 Overvoltage Protection
TPS54628 detects overvoltage and undervoltage conditions by monitoring the feedback voltage (VFB). This
function is enabled after approximately 1.7 times the soft-start time. When the feedback voltage becomes higher
than 125% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and both the high-side MOSFET driver
and the low-side MOSFET driver turn off. This function is non-latch operation.
7.3.6 UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is lower
than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS54628 is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.7 Thermal Shutdown
TPS54628 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 TPS54628 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.
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, VO, 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 ESRinduced output ripple from D-CAP2™ mode control.
7.4.2 PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS54628 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The
TPS54628 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 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS54628 is designed to provide up to a 6-A output current from an input voltage source ranging from 4.5 V
to 18 V. The output voltage is configurable from 0.76 V to 5.5 V. A simplified design procedure for a 1.05-V
output is shown in Figure 12.

Typical Application (continued)
To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors, high resistance is more susceptible to
noise, and the voltage errors from the VFB input current are more noticeable.
8.2.2.2 Output Filter Selection
The output filter used with the TPS54628 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at Equation 4.
F =
P
2p L
1
x COUT
OUT
(4)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output setpoint resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS54628. 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 4 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. To meet this requirement, use the
values recommended in Table 1.

Optional
Because the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value increases as the output
voltage increases. Additional phase boost can be achieved by adding a feedforward capacitor (C4) in parallel
with R1. The feedforward capacitor is most effective for output voltages at or above 1.8 V.
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 5,
Equation 6, and Equation 7. 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. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 6 and the RMS
current of Equation 7.

The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54628 is intended for use
with ceramic or other low-ESR capacitors. TI recommends the value range from 22 µF to 68 µF. Use Equation 8
to determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22-µF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each.
The calculated RMS current is 0.284 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4 A.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54628 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is required depending on the
application. TI recommends using a ceramic capacitor over 10 µF for the decoupling capacitor. An additional
0.1-µF capacitor (C3) from pin 8 to ground is optional to provide additional high-frequency filtering. The capacitor
voltage rating must 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 to SW pin 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 to GND pin for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The following lists the grounding and PCB circuit layout considerations:
1. The TPS54628 can supply large load currents up to 6 A, so heat dissipation may be a concern. The top-side
area adjacent to the TPS54628 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 preferable 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 Considerations
This 8-pin SO PowerPAD 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 (SLMA002) and PowerPAD™ Made Easy (SLMA004).
The exposed thermal pad dimensions for this package are shown in Figure 19.
