DESCRIPTION
As a member of the SWIFT™ family of dc/dc regulators, the TPS54680 low-input voltage high-output current
synchronous buck PWM converter integrates all required active components. Using the TRACKIN pin with other
regulators, simultaneous power up and down are easily implemented. Included on the substrate with the listed
features are a true, high performance, voltage error amplifier that enables maximum performance and flexibility in
choosing the output filter L and C components; an under-voltage-lockout circuit to prevent start-up until the input
voltage reaches 3 V; an internally or externally set slow-start circuit to limit inrush currents; and a power good
output useful for processor/logic reset.
The TPS54680 is available in a thermally enhanced 28-pin TSSOP (PWP) PowerPAD™ package, which
eliminates bulky heatsinks. TI provides evaluation modules and the SWIFT™ designer software tool to aid in
quickly achieving high-performance power supply designs to meet aggressive equipment development cycles.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 10 shows the schematic diagram for a typical TPS54680 application. The TPS54680 (U1) can provide
greater than 6 A of output current at a nominal output voltage of 1.8 V. For proper thermal performance, the
exposed thermal PowerPAD underneath the integrated circuit package must be soldered to the printed-circuit
board. To provide power up tracking, the enable of the I/O supply should be used. If the I/O enable is not used to
power up, then devices with similar undervoltage lockout thresholds need to be implemented to ensure power up
tracking. To ensure power down tracking, the enable pin should be used.

COMPONENT SELECTION
The values for the components used in this design example were selected for low output ripple voltage and small
PCB area. Additional design information is available at www.ti.com.
INPUT FILTER
The input voltage is a nominal 5 Vdc. The input filter C6 is a 10-µF ceramic capacitor (Taiyo Yuden). C7 also a
10-µF ceramic capacitor (Taiyo Yuden) provides high frequency decoupling of the TPS54680 from the input
supply and must be located as close as possible to the device. Ripple current is carried in both C6 and C7, and
the return path to PGND must avoid the current circulating in the output capacitors C8, C9, and C10.
FEEDBACK CIRCUIT
The values for these components have been selected to provide low output ripple voltage. The resistor divider
network of R3 and R8 sets the output voltage for the circuit at 1.8 V. R3, along with R7, R5, C1, C3, and C4 form
the loop compensation network for the circuit. For this design, a Type 3 topology is used.
OPERATING FREQUENCY
In the application circuit, the 350 kHz operation is selected by leaving RT open. Connecting a 180 kΩ to 68 kΩ
resistor between RT (pin 28) and analog ground can be used to set the switching frequency to 280 kHz to 700
kHz. To calculate the RT resistor, use the equation below:

OUTPUT FILTER
The output filter is composed of a 0.65-µH inductor and 3 x 22-µF capacitor. The inductor is a low dc resistance
(0.017 Ω) type, Pulse Engineering PA0227. The capacitors used are 22-µF, 6.3 V ceramic types with X5R
dielectric. The feedback loop is compensated so that the unity gain frequency is approximately 75 kHz.
GROUNDING AND POWERPAD LAYOUT
The TPS54680 has two internal grounds (analog and power). Inside the TPS54680, the analog ground ties to all
of the noise sensitive signals, while the power ground ties to the noisier power signals. The PowerPAD must be
tied directly to AGND. Noise injected between the two grounds can degrade the performance of the TPS54680,
particularly at higher output currents. However, ground noise on an analog ground plane can also cause
problems with some of the control and bias signals. Therefore, separate analog and power ground planes are
recommended. These two planes must tie together directly at the IC to reduce noise between the two grounds.
The only components that must tie directly to the power ground plane are the input capacitor, the output
capacitor, the input voltage decoupling capacitor, and the PGND pins of the TPS54680. The layout of the
TPS54680 evaluation module is representative of a recommended layout for a 4-layer board. Documentation for
the TPS54680 evaluation module can be found on the Texas Instruments web site under the TPS54680 product
folder. See the TPS54680 EVM user’s guide.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE
For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground plane must provide an adequate heat dissipating area.
A 3-inch by 3-inch plane of 1 ounce copper is recommended, though not mandatory, depending on ambient
temperature and airflow. Most applications have larger areas of internal ground plane available, and the
PowerPAD must be connected to the largest area available. Additional areas on the top or bottom layers also
help dissipate heat, and any area available must be used when 6 A or greater operation is desired. Connection
from the exposed area of the PowerPAD to the analog ground plane layer must be made using 0.013 inch
diameter vias to avoid solder wicking through the vias. Eight vias must be in the PowerPAD area with four
additional vias located under the device package. The size of the vias under the package, but not in the exposed
thermal pad area, can be increased to 0.018. Additional vias beyond the twelve recommended that enhance
thermal performance must be included in areas not under the device package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCK OUT (UVLO)
The TPS54680 incorporates an under voltage lockout circuit to keep the device disabled when the input voltage
(VIN) is insufficient. During power up, internal circuits are held inactive until VIN exceeds the nominal UVLO
threshold voltage of 2.95 V. Once the UVLO start threshold is reached, device start-up begins. The device
operates until VIN falls below the nominal UVLO stop threshold of 2.8 V. Hysteresis in the UVLO comparator,
and a 2.5-μs rising and falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the likelihood of shutting the device down due to noise
on VIN.
TRACKIN/INTERNAL SLOW-START
The internal slow-start circuit provides start-up slope control of the output voltage. The nominal internal slow-start
rate is 25 V/ms. When the voltage on TRACKIN rises faster than the internal slope or is present when device
operation is enabled, the output rises at the internal rate. If the reference voltage on TRACKIN rises more slowly,
then the output rises at about the same rate as TRACKIN.
Once the voltage on the TRACKIN pin is greater than the internal reference of 0.891 V, the multiplexer switches
the noninverting node to the high precision reference.
ENABLE (ENA)
The enable pin, ENA, provides a digital control enable or disable (shut down) for the TPS54680. An input voltage
of 1.4 V or greater ensures that the TPS54680 is enabled. An input of 0.82 V or less ensures that device
operation is disabled. These are not standard logic thresholds, even though they are compatible with TTL
outputs.
When ENA is low, the oscillator, slow-start, PWM control and MOSFET drivers are disabled and held in an initial
state ready for device start-up. On an ENA transition from low to high, device start-up begins with the output
starting from 0 V.
VBIAS REGULATOR (VBIAS)
The VBIAS regulator provides internal analog and digital blocks with a stable supply voltage over variations in
junction temperature and input voltage. A high quality, low-ESR, ceramic bypass capacitor is required on the
VBIAS pin. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are recommended because their values are more stable over
temperature. The bypass capacitor must be placed close to the VBIAS pin and returned to AGND.
External loading on VBIAS is allowed, with the caution that internal circuits require a minimum VBIAS of 2.70 V,
and external loads on VBIAS with ac or digital switching noise may degrade performance. The VBIAS pin may be
useful as a reference voltage for external circuits.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The voltage reference system produces a precise Vref signal by scaling the output of a temperature stable
bandgap circuit. During manufacture, the bandgap and scaling circuits are trimmed to produce 0.891 V at the
output of the error amplifier, with the amplifier connected as a voltage follower. The trim procedure adds to the
high precision regulation of the TPS54680, since it cancels offset errors in the scale and error amplifier circuits.
OSCILLATOR AND PWM RAMP
The oscillator frequency is set internally to 350 kHz. If a different frequency of operation is required for the
application, the oscillator frequency can be externally adjusted from 280 to 700 kHz by connecting a resistor
between the RT pin and AGND. The switching frequency is approximated by the following equation, where R is
the resistance from RT to AGND:
100 kW
Switching Frequency =
´ 500[kHz]

ERROR AMPLIFIER
The high performance, wide bandwidth, voltage error amplifier sets the TPS54680 apart from most dc/dc
converters. The user is given the flexibility to use a wide range of output L and C filter components to suit the
particular application needs. Type 2 or type 3 compensation can be employed using external compensation
components.
PWM CONTROL
Signals from the error amplifier output, oscillator, and current limit circuit are processed by the PWM control logic.
Referring to the internal block diagram, the control logic includes the PWM comparator, OR gate, PWM latch,
and portions of the adaptive dead-time and control logic block. During steady-state operation below the current
limit threshold, the PWM comparator output and oscillator pulse train alternately reset and set the PWM latch.
Once the PWM latch is reset, the low-side FET remains on for a minimum duration set by the oscillator pulse
width. During this period, the PWM ramp discharges rapidly to its valley voltage. When the ramp begins to
charge back up, the low-side FET turns off and high-side FET turns on. As the PWM ramp voltage exceeds the
error amplifier output voltage, the PWM comparator resets the latch, thus turning off the high-side FET and
turning on the low-side FET. The low-side FET remains on until the next oscillator pulse discharges the PWM
ramp.
During transient conditions, the error amplifier output could be below the PWM ramp valley voltage or above the
PWM peak voltage. If the error amplifier is high, the PWM latch is never reset, and the high-side FET remains on
until the oscillator pulse signals the control logic to turn the high-side FET off and the low-side FET on. The
device operates at its maximum duty cycle until the output voltage rises to the regulation set-point, setting
VSENSE to approximately the same voltage as VREF. If the error amplifier output is low, the PWM latch is
continually reset and the high-side FET does not turn on. The low-side FET remains on until the VSENSE
voltage decreases to a range that allows the PWM comparator to change states. The TPS54680 is capable of
sinking current continuously until the output reaches the regulation set-point.
If the current limit comparator trips for longer than 100 ns, the PWM latch resets before the PWM ramp exceeds
the error amplifier output. The high-side FET turns off and low-side FET turns on to decrease the energy in the
output inductor and consequently the output current. This process is repeated each cycle in which the current
limit comparator is tripped.
DEAD-TIME CONTROL AND MOSFET DRIVERS
Adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through current from flowing in both N-channel power MOSFETs
during the switching transitions by actively controlling the turnon times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side
driver does not turn on until the voltage at the gate of the low-side FET is below 2 V. While the low-side driver
does not turn on until the voltage at the gate of the high-side MOSFET is below 2 V.
The high-side and low-side drivers are designed with 300-mA source and sink capability to quickly drive the
power MOSFETs gates. The low-side driver is supplied from VIN, while the high-side drive is supplied from the
BOOT pin. A bootstrap circuit uses an external BOOT capacitor and an internal 2.5-Ω bootstrap switch
connected between the VIN and BOOT pins. The integrated bootstrap switch improves drive efficiency and
reduces external component count.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
The cycle-by-cycle current limiting is achieved by sensing the current flowing through the high-side MOSFET and
comparing this signal to a preset overcurrent threshold. The high side MOSFET is turned off within 200 ns of
reaching the current limit threshold. A 100-ns leading edge blanking circuit prevents the current limit from false
tripping. Current limit detection occurs only when current flows from VIN to PH when sourcing current to the
output filter. Load protection during current sink operation is provided by thermal shutdown.

SGLS212A – OCTOBER 2003 – REVISED OCTOBER 2012
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The device uses the thermal shutdown to turn off the power MOSFETs and disable the controller if the junction
temperature exceeds 150°C. The device is released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature
decreases to 10°C below the thermal shutdown trip point, and starts up under control of the slow-start circuit.
Thermal shutdown provides protection when an overload condition is sustained for several milliseconds. With a
persistent fault condition, the device cycles continuously; starting up by control of the soft-start circuit, heating up
due to the fault condition, and then shutting down upon reaching the thermal shutdown trip point. This sequence
repeats until the fault condition is removed.
POWER-GOOD (PWRDG)
The power good circuit monitors for under voltage conditions on VSENSE. If the voltage on VSENSE is 10%
below the reference voltage, the open-drain PWRGD output is pulled low. PWRGD is also pulled low if VIN is
less than the UVLO threshold or ENA is low, or a thermal shutdown occurs. When VIN ≥ UVLO threshold, ENA ≥
enable threshold, and VSENSE > 90% of Vref, the open drain output of the PWRGD pin is high. A hysteresis
voltage equal to 3% of Vref and a 35 µs falling edge deglitch circuit prevent tripping of the power good
comparator due to high frequency noise.
