7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS563231 is 3-A synchronous step-down converter. The proprietary D-CAP3 mode control supports low
ESR output capacitors such as specialty polymer capacitors and multi-layer ceramic capacitors without complex
external compensation circuits. The fast transient response of D-CAP3 mode control can reduce the output
capacitance required to meet a specific level of performance.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Adaptive On-Time Control and PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS563231 is adaptive on-time pulse width modulation (PWM) controller that
supports a proprietary D-CAP3 mode control. The D-CAP3 mode control combines adaptive 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 onshot timer expires. This one shot duration is set proportional to the converter output voltage, VOUT , and inversely
proportional to the input voltage, VIN, to maintain a pseudo-fixed frequency over the input voltage range, hence it
is called adaptive on-time control. The on-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 need for ESR induced output ripple from D-CAP3 mode control.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start
The TPS563231 has an internal 1.5-ms soft-start. When the EN pin becomes high, the internal soft-start function
begins ramping up the reference voltage from 0 V to 0.6 V linearly.
If the output capacitor is pre-biased at startup, the devices initiate switching and start ramping up only after the
internal reference voltage becomes greater than the feedback voltage VFB. This scheme ensures that the
converters ramp up smoothly into regulation point.
7.3.3 Over Current and Short Circuit Protection
The TPS563231 is protected from over-current conditions by cycle-by-cycle current limit on the valley of the
inductor current. Hiccup mode will be activated if a fault condition persists to prevent over-heating.
The current going through low-side (LS) MOSFET is sensed and monitored. When the LS MOSFET turns on, the
inductor current begins to ramp down. The LS MOSFET will not be turned OFF if its current is above the LS
current limit ILS_LIMIT even the feedback voltage, VFB, drops below the reference voltage VREF. The LS MOSFET is
kept ON so that inductor current keeps ramping down, until the inductor current ramps below the LS current limit
ILS_LIMIT. Then the LS MOSFET is turned OFF and the HS switch is turned on after a dead time.
As the inductor current is limited by ILS_LIMT, the output voltage tends to drop as the inductor current may be
smaller than the load current. Hiccup current protection mode is activated once the VFB drops below the UVP
threshold after a delay time (800 µs typically). In hiccup mode, the regulator is shut down and kept off for 24 ms
typically before the TPS563231 try to start again. If over-current or short-circuit fault condition still exists, hiccup
will repeat until the fault condition is removed. Hiccup mode reduces power dissipation under severe over-current
conditions, prevents over-heating and potential damage to the device.
7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection
UVLO protection monitors the internal regulator voltage. When the voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage,
the device is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
The device monitors the temperature of itself. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 160°C),
the device is shut off. This is a non-latch protection.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
The EN pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the TPS563231. When VEN is below its threshold (1.13 V
typically), the device is in shutdown mode. The switching regulator is turned off and the quiescent current drops
to 2.0 µA typically. The TPS563231 also employs VIN under voltage lock out protection. If VIN voltage is below its
UVLO threshold (3.6 V typically), the regulator is turned off.
7.4.2 Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) operation is employed when the load current is higher than half of the
peak-to-peak inductor current. In CCM operation, the frequency of operation is pseud fixed, output voltage ripple
will be at a minimum in this mode and the maximum output current of 3-A can be supplied.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.3 Pulse Skip Mode (PSM, TPS563231)
The TPS563231 is designed with Advanced Eco-mode™ to maintain high 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 mode (CCM) and
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The low-side MOSFET is turned off when the zero inductor current is
detected. As the load current further decreases the converter runs into discontinuous conduction mode. The ontime is kept almost the same as it 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. This makes the
switching frequency lower, proportional to the load current, and keeps the light load efficiency high. The transition
point to the light load operation current IOUT_LL can be calculated in Equation 1.

u IN

2 u L u fSW
VIN
(1)
As the load current continues to decrease, the switching frequency also decreases. The on-time starts to
decrease once the switching frequency is lower than 250 kHz. The on-time can be about 22% reduced at most
for extremely light load condition. This function is employed to achieve smaller ripple at extremely light load
condition.

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 device is typical step-down DC-DC converter. It is typically used to convert a higher dc voltage to a lower dc
voltage with a maximum available output current of 3 A. The following design procedure can be used to select
component values for the TPS563231. Alternately, the WEBENCH® software may be used to generate a
complete design. The WEBENCH software uses an iterative design procedure and accesses a comprehensive
database of components when generating a design. This section presents a simplified discussion of the design
process.

To improve efficiency at very light loads consider using larger value resistors, too high of resistance will be more
susceptible to noise and voltage errors from the FB input current will be more noticeable.

Choose the value of RFBB to be 10 kΩ. With the desired output voltage set to 3.3 V and the VREF = 0.6 V, the
RFBT value can then be calculated using Equation 2. The formula yields to a value 45.3 kΩ of RFBT.
8.2.2.2 Output Filter Selection
The LC filter used as the output filter has double pole at:
1
fP
2S L u COUT

At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the device. The low frequency phase is 180°. At the output filter pole frequency, the gain rolls off at a –40
dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. D-CAP3 introduces a high frequency zero that reduces the gain
roll off to –20 dB per decade and increases the phase to 90° one decade above the zero frequency. The inductor
and capacitor for the output filter must be selected so that the double pole of Equation 3 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 2.

The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 4,
Equation 5, and Equation 6. 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.

For this design example, the calculated peak current is 3.67 A and the calculated RMS current is 3.02 A. The
inductor used is a WE 74437349033 with a peak current rating of 12 A and an RMS current rating of 6 A.
The capacitor value and ESR determine the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS563231 is intended for use
with ceramic or other low ESR capacitors. Recommended values range from 20 µF to 68 µF. Use Equation 7 to
determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.

For this design two Murata GRM21BR61A226ME44L 22-µF/10-V output capacitors are used in parallel. The
typical ESR is 3mΩ each. The calculated RMS current is 0.39 A and each output capacitor is rated for 5 A.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS563231 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is needed depending on the
application. TI recommends a ceramic capacitor over 10-µF for the decoupling capacitor. An additional 0.1-µF
capacitor from VIN pin to GND pin is also recommended to provide additional high frequency filtering. The
capacitor voltage rating needs to be greater than the maximum input voltage, 25 V or higher voltage rating is
recommended.
8.2.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the BST to SW pin for proper operation. 10 V or higher
voltage rating is recommended.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
TPS563231 is designed to operate from input supply voltage in the range of 4.5 V to 17 V. Buck converters
require the input voltage to be higher than the output voltage for proper operation. The maximum recommended
operating duty cycle is 72%. Using that criteria, the minimum recommended input voltage is VO / 0.72.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
1. VIN and GND traces should be as wide as possible to reduce trace impedance. The wide areas are also of
advantage from the view point of heat dissipation.
2. The input capacitor and output capacitor should be placed as close to the device as possible to minimize
trace impedance.
3. Provide sufficient vias for the input capacitor and output capacitor.
4. Keep the SW trace as physically short and wide as practical to minimize radiated emissions.
5. Do not allow switching current to flow under the device.
6. A separate VOUT path should be connected to the upper feedback resistor.
7. Make a Kelvin connection to the GND pin for the feedback path.
8. Voltage feedback loop should be placed away from the high-voltage switching trace, and preferably has
ground shield.
9. The trace of the VFB node should be as small as possible to avoid noise coupling.
10. The GND trace between the output capacitor and the GND pin should be as wide as possible to minimize its
trace impedance.
