DESCRIPTION
As a member of the SWIFT™ family of dc/dc regulators,
the TPS54880 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 3.8 V; an
internally or externally set slow-start circuit to limit
inrush currents; and a power good output useful for
processor/logic reset.
The TPS54880 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 8 shows the schematic diagram for a typical
TPS54880 application. The TPS54880 (U1) can provide
greater than 8 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 TPS54880 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
8
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:
R+
500 kHz
Switching Frequency
100 [kW]
(1)
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.

TPS54880
SLVS450A − OCTOBER 2002 REVISED APRIL 2005
PCB LAYOUT
Figure 9 shows a generalized PCB layout guide for the
TPS54880.
The VIN pins should be connected together on the printed
circuit board (PCB) and bypassed with a low ESR ceramic
bypass capacitor. Care should be taken to minimize the
loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the
VIN pins, and the TPS54880 ground pins. The minimum
recommended bypass capacitance is 10-µF ceramic with
a X5R or X7R dielectric and the optimum placement is
closest to the VIN pins and the PGND pins.
The TPS54880 has two internal grounds (analog and
power). Inside the TPS54880, the analog ground ties to all
of the noise sensitive signals, while the power ground ties
to the noisier power signals. Noise injected between the
two grounds can degrade the performance of the
TPS54880, particularly at higher output currents. Ground
noise on an analog ground plane can also cause problems
with some of the control and bias signals. For these
reasons, separate analog and power ground traces are
recommended. There should be an area of ground one the
top layer directly under the IC, with an exposed area for
connection to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this
ground area to any internal ground planes. Use additional
vias at the ground side of the input and output filter
capacitors as well. The AGND and PGND pins should be
tied to the PCB ground by connecting them to the ground
area under the device as shown. The only components
that should tie directly to the power ground plane are the
input capacitors, the output capacitors, the input voltage
decoupling capacitor, and the PGND pins of the
TPS54880. Use a separate wide trace for the analog
ground signal path. This analog ground should be used for
the voltage set point divider, timing resistor RT and bias
capacitor grounds. Connect this trace directly to AGND
(pin 1).
The PH pins should be tied together and routed to the
output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching
node, inductor should be located very close to the PH pins
and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent
excessive capacitive coupling.
Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and
the BOOT pin as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to
the IC and minimize the conductor trace lengths.
Connect the output filter capacitor(s) as shown between
the VOUT trace and PGND. It is important to keep the loop
formed by the PH pins, Lout, Cout and PGND as small as
practical.
Place the compensation components from the VOUT trace
to the VSENSE and COMP pins. Do not place these
components too close to the PH trace. Do to the size of the
IC package and the device pinout, they will have to be
routed somewhat close, but maintain as much separation
as possible while still keeping the layout compact.
Connect the bias capacitor from the VBIAS pin to analog
ground using the isolated analog ground trace. If an RT
resistor is used, connect it to this trace as well.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THERMAL
PERFORMANCE
For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground
plane must provide an adequate heat dissipating area. A

SLVS450A − OCTOBER 2002 REVISED APRIL 2005
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCK OUT (UVLO)
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 TPS54880, since it cancels
offset errors in the scale and error amplifier circuits.
The TPS54880 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 3.8 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
3.5 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 TPS54880. An input voltage of
1.4 V or greater ensures that the TPS54880 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.

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:
Switching Frequency + 100 kW
R
500 [kHz]

R = 180 kΩ to 68 kΩ
ERROR AMPLIFIER
The high performance, wide bandwidth, voltage error
amplifier sets the TPS54880 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
TPS54880
www.ti.com
SLVS450A − OCTOBER 2002 REVISED APRIL 2005
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 TPS54880 is capable of sinking current continuously
until the output reaches the regulation set-point.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
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.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
DEAD-TIME CONTROL AND MOSFET
DRIVERS
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.
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.
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.
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.
POWER-GOOD (PWRGD)
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.
