TPS56528
SLVSBV3B – APRIL 2013 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2016
TPS56528 4.5-V to 18-V Input, 5-A Synchronous Step-Down Converter
With Advanced Eco-Mode™
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS56528 device is an adaptive on-time
D-CAP2™ mode synchronous buck converter. The
TPS56528 enables system designers to complete the
suite of various end-equipment power bus regulators
with a cost-effective, low component count, low
standby current solution. The main control loop for
the TPS56528 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 advanced EcoMode™ operation at light loads. Advanced EcoMode™ allows the TPS56528 to maintain high
efficiency during lighter load conditions. The
TPS56528 also has a proprietary circuit that enables
the device to adopt to both low equivalent series
resistance (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 0.6 V and 7 V. The device also features a
fixed 1-ms soft-start time and power good output. The
TPS56528 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 TPS5652 is a 5-A 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 lowESR output capacitors including ceramic and special polymer types. And also PG output can be used for
sequence operation.

SLVSBV3B – APRIL 2013 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2016
www.ti.com
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 PWM Operation
The main control loop of the TPS56528 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
requirement for ESR-induced output ripple from D-CAP2™ mode control.
7.3.2 PWM Frequency and Adaptive On-Time Control
TPS56528 uses an adaptive on-time control scheme and does not have a dedicated on board oscillator. The
TPS56528 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.
7.3.3 Soft Start and Prebiased Soft Start
The TPS56528 has an internal 1-ms soft start. When the EN pin becomes high, internal soft-start function begins
ramping up the reference voltage to the PWM comparator.
The TPS56528 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 prebias 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.
7.3.4 Power Good
The power good function is activated after soft start has finished. The power good function becomes active after
1.7 × soft-start time. When the output voltage becomes within –10% of the target value, internal comparators
detect power good state and the power good signal becomes high. The power good output, PG is an open-drain
output. If the feedback voltage goes under 15% of the target value, the power good signal becomes low.
7.3.5 Output Discharge Control
TPS56528 discharges the output through the SW pin when EN is low, or the controller is turned off by the
protection functions (UVP, UVLO and thermal shutdown). The internal regular low-side MOSFET is not turned on
during the output discharge operation to avoid the possibility of causing negative voltage at the output.
7.3.6 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 TPS56528 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

Feature Description (continued)
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 over current 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.
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 as the demanded load current may be higher than the current available from the
converter. This protection is non-latching. When the VFB voltage becomes lower than 65% of the target voltage,
the UVP comparator detects it. After 7 µs detecting the UVP voltage, device shut downs and restarts after hiccup
time.
When the overcurrent condition is removed, the output voltage returns to the regulated value.
7.3.7 UVLO Protection
Undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO) monitors the voltage of the VREG5 pin. When the VREG5 voltage is lower
than UVLO threshold voltage, the TPS56528 is shut off. This protection is non-latching.
7.3.8 Thermal Shutdown
TPS56528 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 Advanced Auto-Skip Eco-Mode™ Control
The TPS56528 is designed with advanced auto-skip Eco-Mode™ to increase higher light load efficiency. As the
output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced. If the output current is
reduced enough, the inductor current ripple valley reaches the zero level, which is the boundary between
continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The rectifying low-side 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 approximately the same as is in continuous conduction mode. The off-time
increases as it takes more time to discharge the output capacitor to the level of the reference voltage with
smaller load current. The transition point to the light load operation IOUT(LL) current can be calculated in
Equation 1.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Output Voltage Resistors Selection
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. TI recommends using 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. Start by using Equation 2 to calculate VOUT.
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 TPS56528 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole in Equation 3.
1
FP =
2p LOUT ´ COUT
(3)
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output setpoint resistor divider network and the internal
gain of the TPS56528. 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 3 is located below the high frequency zero but close enough that the phase boost provided by the
high frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. To meet this requirement, use the
values recommended in Table 2.

Optional
For higher output voltages at or above 1.8 V, additional phase boost can be achieved by adding a feed-forward
capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1
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. Use 650 kHz for
fSW.
Ensure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 5 and the RMS current of Equation 6.

For this design example, the calculated peak current is 5.51 A and the calculated RMS current is 5.01 A.
The inductor used is a TDK SPM6530-1R5M100 with a peak current rating of 11.5 A and an RMS current rating
of 11 A.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS56528 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 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 TPS56528 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is required depending on the
application. A ceramic capacitor over 10 μF is recommended 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 requires 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 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 to GND pin for proper operation. TI
recommends using a ceramic capacitor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input-voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 18 V. This input supply
must be well regulated. If the input supply is placed more than a few inches from the converter, additional bulk
capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor with a value
of 100 µF is a typical choice.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
1. The TPS56528 can supply large load currents up to 5 A, so heat dissipation may be a concern. The top-side
area adjacent to the TPS56528 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 directed 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 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 to 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 Information
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-circuit 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 18.
