•
•
•
The TPS566235 employs the D-CAP3™ mode
control that provides a fast transient response and
good line/load regulation with no external
compensation components. It also has a proprietary
circuit that enables the device to support low
equivalent series resistance (ESR) output capacitors
such as specialty polymer and ultra-low ESR ceramic
capacitors. The control topology supports seamless
transition between CCM mode at heavy load
conditions and DCM operation at light load
conditions. There are three operation modes can be
configured by MODE pin at light load: Eco-Mode™,
Out-Of-Audio™ (OOA) and Forced Continuous
Conduction Mode (FCCM). The OOA mode is a
unique control feature that keeps the switching
frequency above audible frequency with minimum
reduction in efficiency.
The TPS566235 supports pre-biased start up and
power good indicator. It provides complete protection
including OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP and UVLO. The
device is available in 3.0-mm x 2.0-mm HotRod™
package and the junction temperature is specified
from –40°C to 125°C.

In order to be consistent with the TI reliability requirement of 100k Power-On-Hours at 105°C junction temperature, the output current
should not exceed 6A continuously under 100% duty operation as to prevent electromigration failure in the solder. Higher junction
temperature or longer power-on hours are achievable at lower than 6A continuous output current.

12 Detailed Description
12.1 Overview
The TPS566235 is high density synchronous Buck converter which operates from 4.5 V to 18 V input voltage
(VIN), and the output range is from 0.6 V to 7 V. It has 25-mΩ and 12-mΩ integrated MOSFETs that enable high
efficiency up to 6 A. The proprietary D-CAP3™ mode enables low external component count, ease of design,
optimization of the power design for cost, size and efficiency. The TPS566235 has ultra-low quiescent current
(ULQ™) mode. This feature is beneficial for long battery life in system standby mode. The device employs DCAP3™ mode control that provides fast transient response with no external compensation components. The
control topology supports seamless transition between CCM mode at heavy load conditions and DCM operation
at light load conditions. There are three operation modes can be configured by MODE pin at light load: EcoMode™, OOA and FCCM. Eco-Mode™ allows the TPS566235 to maintain high efficiency at light load. OOA
mode makes switching frequency above audible frequency (25kHz), even there is no loading at output side.
FCCM mode has the constant switching frequency at both light and heavy load. TPS566235 are able to adapt to
both low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output capacitors such as POSCAP or SP-CAP, and ultra-low ESR
ceramic capacitors.

SLVSEW1B – APRIL 2019 – REVISED APRIL 2019
12.3 Feature Description
12.3.1 PWM Operation and D-CAP3™ Control
The main control loop of the Buck 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. The
TPS566235 also includes an error amplifier that makes the output voltage very accurate.
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 duration is set proportional to the output voltage, VOUT, and it is inversely
proportional to the converter input voltage, VIN, 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 ripple generation circuit
is added to reference voltage for emulating the output ripple, this enables the use of very low-ESR output
capacitors such as multi-layered ceramic caps (MLCC). No external current sense network or loop compensation
is required for D-CAP3™ control topology.
For any control topology that is compensated internally, there is a range of the output filter it can support. The
output filter used with the TPS566235 is a low-pass L-C circuit. This L-C filter has a double-pole frequency
described in Equation 1.

2 u S u LOUT u COUT
(1)
At low frequency, the overall loop gain is set by the output set-point resistor divider network and the internal gain
of the TPS566235. The low-frequency L-C double pole has a 180 degree drop in phase. At the output filter
frequency, the gain rolls off at a –40 dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. The internal ripple
generation network introduces a high-frequency zero that reduces the gain roll off from –40 dB to –20 dB per
decade and leads the 90 degree phase boost. The internal ripple injection high-frequency zero is related to the
switching frequency. The crossover frequency of the overall system should usually be targeted to be less than
one-third of the switching frequency (FSW).
12.3.2 Power Good
The Power Good (PG) pin is an open drain output. Once the FB pin voltage is between 90% and 110% of the
internal reference voltage (VREF=0.6V), the PG is de-asserted and floats after a 160 µs de-glitch time. A pull-up
resistor of 100 kΩ is recommended to pull it up to VCC. The PG pin is pulled low when the FB pin voltage is
lower than 85% or greater than 115% threshold or in an event of thermal shutdown or during the soft-start period.
PG de-glitch time (from high to low) is 32 µs.
12.3.3 Soft Start and Pre-Biased Soft Start
The TPS566235 has an internal 1.0 ms soft-start time. Soft start can prevent the overshoot of output voltage
during start up. When the EN pin becomes high, internal soft-start function begins ramping up the reference
voltage to the PWM comparator.
The TPS566235 can prevent current from being pulled from the output during startup if the output is pre-biased.
The device disables the switching of both the high-side and low-side FETs until the soft-start commands a
voltage higher than the pre-bias level (internal soft start becomes greater than feedback voltage VFB). Then, the
controller start the first high side FET gate driver pulses. This scheme prevents the initial sinking of the pre-bias
output, and ensure that the output voltage starts and ramps up into regulation and the control loop is given time
to transition from pre-biased start-up to normal mode operation.
12.3.4 Over current Protection and Undervoltage Protection
The TPS566235 has the over current protection and undervoltage protection. The output over current limit (OCL)
is implemented using a cycle-by-cycle valley detect circuit. The switch current is monitored during the OFF state
by measuring the low-side FET drain to source voltage. This voltage is proportional to the switch current. To
improve accuracy, the voltage sensing is temperature compensated.

Feature Description (continued)
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. If the monitored current is
above the OCL level, the converter maintains low-side FET on and delays the creation of a new set pulse, even
the voltage feedback loop requires one, until the current level becomes OCL level or lower. In subsequent
switching cycles, the on-time is set to a fixed value and the current is monitored in the same manner.
There are some important considerations for this type of over current protection. When the load current is higher
than the over current threshold by one half of the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current, the OCL is triggered and
the current is being limited, the output voltage tends to drop because the load demand is higher than what the
converter can support. When the output voltage falls below 60% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator
detects it, the device will shut off after a wait time of 256 µs and then re-start after the hiccup time (typically
7xTss). When the over current condition is removed, the output will be recovered.
12.3.5 Over Voltage Protection
TPS566235 has the over voltage protection function by monitoring the feedback voltage (VFB). When the
feedback voltage becomes higher than 125% of VREF, the OVP comparator output goes high and turns off both
high-side and low-side MOSFETs after a wait time of 32 µs. This protection is a non-latching operation. The
device re-starts switching when the feedback voltage falls below 120% of VREF.
12.3.6 UVLO Protection
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protection monitors the VCC pin voltage to protect the internal circuitry from
low input voltages. When the voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the under-voltage lockout circuit
prevents mis-operation of the device by turning off both high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The converter begins
operation again when the input voltage exceeds the threshold by a hysteresis of 500 mV (typical).This is a nonlatch protection.
12.3.7 Thermal Shutdown
The device monitors the internal die temperature. If it exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold value (typically
150°C), the device shuts off. This is a non-latch protection.
12.4 Device Functional Modes
12.4.1 Light Load Operation
TPS566235 has a MODE pin which can setup three different modes of operation for light load running. The light
load operation mode includes Eco-Mode™, Out-Of-Audio™ mode and FCCM mode.
12.4.2 MODE Pin Configuration
TPS566235 detect the voltage on the MODE pin during start-up and latches onto one of the MODE options listed
below in Table 1. TPS566235 internally has a comparator to compare this voltage with reference voltage and
decide which mode to choose. The voltage on the MODE pin can be set by connecting to VCC pin or connecting
a resistor RM between this pin and AGND. There is a source current of 5 µA at the mode pin and generate
voltage for mode selection to avoid noise and spurious trigger. The VMODE voltage range and recommended
resistor value is shown in Table 1. The MODE pin setting can be reset only by VIN power cycling or EN toggle.

Figure 18 shows the typical start-up sequence of the device once the enable signal crosses the EN turn on
threshold (VIN is higher then UVLO threshold). After the voltage on VCC crosses the rising UVLO threshold, it
takes about 60 µs to read the mode setting .The output voltage starts ramping after 10 µs from the mode reading
is done.

12.4.3 Advanced Eco-Mode™ Control
The advanced Eco-Mode™ control scheme to maintain high efficiency at light loads. As the output current
decreases from heavy load conditions, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to a point
where the rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and
discontinuous conduction modes. The low-side MOSFET is turned off when a zero inductor current is detected.
As the load current further decreases, the converter runs into discontinuous conduction mode. The on-time is
kept almost the same as it is in continuous conduction mode so that it takes more time to discharge the output to
the level of reference voltage with a smaller load current. The light load current where the transition to EcoMode™ operation happens ( IOUT(LL) ) can be calculated from Equation 2.
(V -V
) × VOUT
1
IOUT(LL) =
× IN OUT
2 × LOUT × FSW
VIN
(2)
After identifying the application requirements, design the output inductance (LOUT) so that the inductor peak-topeak ripple current is approximately between 20% and 30% of the IOUT(max) (peak current in the application).
12.4.4 Out-Of-Audio™ Mode
Out-Of-Audio™ (OOA) light-load mode is a unique control feature that keeps the switching frequency above
audible frequency with minimum reduction in efficiency. It prevents audio noise generation from the output
capacitors and inductor. During Out-of-Audio operation, the OOA control circuit monitors the states of both highside and low-side MOSFETs and forces them switching if both MOSFETs are off for more than 32 μs. When both
high-side and low-side MOSFETs are off for more than 32 μs during a light-load condition, the low side FET will
discharge until reverse OC happens or output voltage drops to trigger the high-side FET on.
If the MODE pin is selected to operate in OOA mode, when the device works at light load, the minimum
switching frequency is above 25 kHz which avoids the audible noise in the system.

12.4.5 Force CCM Mode
Force CCM (FCCM) mode keeps the converter to operate in continuous conduction mode during light-load
conditions and allows the inductor current to become negative. During FCCM mode, the switching frequency
(FSW) is maintained at an almost constant level over the entire load range, which is suitable for applications
requiring tight control of the switching frequency and output voltage ripple at the cost of lower efficiency under
light load.
12.4.6
Standby Operation
The TPS566235 can be placed in standby mode by pulling the EN pin low. The device operates with a shutdown
current of 3 µA when in standby condition. EN pin is pulled low internally when it is floating and the device is
disabled by default.

13.2.2.2 Inductor Selection
The inductor ripple current is filtered by the output capacitor. A higher inductor ripple current means the output
capacitor should have a ripple current rating higher than the inductor ripple current. See Table 3 for
recommended inductor values.
The RMS and peak currents through the inductor can be calculated using Equation 3 and Equation 4. It is
important that the inductor is rated to handle these currents.

During transient/short circuit conditions the inductor current can increase up to the current limit of the device so it
is safe to choose an inductor with a saturation current higher than the peak current under current limit condition.
13.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection
After selecting the inductor the output capacitor needs to be optimized. In D-CAP3™, the regulator reacts within
one cycle to the change in the duty cycle so the good transient performance can be achieved without needing
large amounts of output capacitance. The recommended output capacitance range is given in Table 3
Ceramic capacitors have very low ESR, otherwise the maximum ESR of the capacitor should be less than
VOUT(ripple)/IOUT(ripple)

TI recommends using a high quality X5R or X7R input decoupling capacitors of 44 µF on the input voltage pin.
The voltage rating on the input capacitor must be greater than the maximum input voltage. The capacitor must
also have a ripple current rating greater than the maximum input current ripple of the application. The input ripple

14 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS566235 is intended to be powered by a well regulated dc voltage. The input voltage range is 4.5 V to 18
V. TPS566235 is Buck converter, the input supply voltage must be bigger than the desired output voltage for
proper operation. Input supply current must be appropriate for the desired output current. If the input voltage
supply is located far from the TPS566235 circuit, some additional input bulk capacitance is recommended.
Typical values are 100 µF to 470 µF.

15 Layout
15.1 Layout Guidelines
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following guideline should be used to ensure proper operation of
the IC. These items are also illustrated graphically in the layout diagram of Figure 36
• Recommend a four-layer PCB for good thermal performance and with maximum ground plane. 3" x 3", fourlayer PCB with 2-oz. copper used as example.
• Place the decoupling capacitors right across VIN as close as possible.
• Place output inductors and capacitors with IC at the same layer, SW routing should be as short as possible to
minimize EMI, and should be a wide plane to carry big current, enough vias should be added to the PGND
connection of output capacitor and also as close to the output pin as possible.
• Place BST resistor and capacitor with IC at the same layer, close to BST and SW plane, >15 mil width trace
is recommended to reduce line parasitic inductance.
• FB could be wide and must be routed away from the switching node, BST node or other high efficiency
signal.
• VIN trace must be wide to reduce the trace impedance and provide enough current capability.
• Place multiple vias near GND and near input capacitors to reduce parasitic inductance and improve thermal
performance.
