TPS6103x 96% Efficient Synchronous Boost Converter With 4A Switch
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS6103x devices provide a power supply
solution for products powered by either a one-cell LiIon or Li-polymer, or a two to three-cell alkaline, NiCd
or NiMH battery. The converter generates a stable
output voltage that is either adjusted by an external
resistor divider or fixed internally on the chip. It
provides high efficient power conversion and is
capable of delivering output currents up to 1 A at 5 V
at a supply voltage down to 1.8 V. The implemented
boost converter is based on a fixed frequency, pulsewidth- modulation (PWM) controller using a
synchronous rectifier to obtain maximum efficiency.
At low load currents the converter enters Power Save
mode to maintain a high efficiency over a wide load
current range. The Power Save mode can be
disabled, forcing the converter to operate at a fixed
switching frequency. It can also operate synchronized
to an external clock signal that is applied to the
SYNC pin. The maximum peak current in the boost
switch is limited to a value of 4500 mA.

2 Applications
The converter can be disabled to minimize battery
drain. During shutdown, the load is completely
disconnected from the battery. A low-EMI mode is
implemented to reduce ringing and, in effect, lower
radiated electromagnetic energy when the converter
enters the discontinuous conduction mode.

10 Detailed Description
10.1 Overview
The TPS6103x synchronous step-up converter typically operates at a 600 kHz frequency pulse width modulation
(PWM) at moderate to heavy load currents. The converter enters Power Save mode at low load currents to
maintain a high efficiency over a wide load. The Power Save mode can also be disabled, forcing the converter to
operate at a fixed switching frequency. The TPS6103x family is based on a fixed frequency with multiple feed
forward controller topology. Input voltage, output voltage, and voltage drop on the NMOS switch are monitored
and forwarded to the regulator. The peak current of the NMOS switch is also sensed to limit the maximum
current flowing through the switch and the inductor. It can also operate synchronized to an external clock signal
that is applied to the SYNC pin. Additionally, TPS6103x integrated the low-battery detector circuit typically used
to supervise the battery voltage and to generate an error flag when the battery voltage drops below a user-set
threshold voltage.

10.3 Feature Description
10.3.1 Controller Circuit
The controller circuit of the device is based on a fixed frequency multiple feedforward controller topology. Input
voltage, output voltage, and voltage drop on the NMOS switch are monitored and forwarded to the regulator. So
changes in the operating conditions of the converter directly affect the duty cycle and must not take the indirect
and slow way through the control loop and the error amplifier. The control loop, determined by the error amplifier,
only has to handle small signal errors. The input for it is the feedback voltage on the FB pin or, at fixed output
voltage versions, the voltage on the internal resistor divider. It is compared with the internal reference voltage to
generate an accurate and stable output voltage.
The peak current of the NMOS switch is also sensed to limit the maximum current flowing through the switch and
the inductor. The typical peak current limit is set to 4000 mA. An internal temperature sensor prevents the device
from getting overheated in case of excessive power dissipation.
10.3.2 Synchronous Rectifier
The device integrates an N-channel and a P-channel MOSFET transistor to realize a synchronous rectifier.
Because the commonly used discrete Schottky rectifier is replaced with a low RDS(ON) PMOS switch, the power
conversion efficiency reaches 96%. To avoid ground shift due to the high currents in the NMOS switch, two
separate ground pins are used. The reference for all control functions is the GND pin. The source of the NMOS
switch is connected to PGND. Both grounds must be connected on the PCB at only one point close to the GND
pin. A special circuit is applied to disconnect the load from the input during shutdown of the converter. In
conventional synchronous rectifier circuits, the backgate diode of the high-side PMOS is forward biased in
shutdown and allows current flowing from the battery to the output. This device however uses a special circuit
which takes the cathode of the backgate diode of the high-side PMOS and disconnects it from the source when
the regulator is not enabled (EN = low).
The benefit of this feature for the system design engineer is that the battery is not depleted during shutdown of
the converter. No additional components have to be added to the design to make sure that the battery is
disconnected from the output of the converter.
10.4 Device Functional Modes
10.4.1 Device Enable
The device is put into operation when EN is set high. It is put into a shutdown mode when EN is set to GND. In
shutdown mode, the regulator stops switching, all internal control circuitry including the low-battery comparator is
switched off, and the load is isolated from the input (as described in the Synchronous Rectifier Section). This
also means that the output voltage can drop below the input voltage during shutdown. During start-up of the
converter, the duty cycle and the peak current are limited in order to avoid high peak currents drawn from the
battery.
10.4.1.1 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout function prevents device start-up if the supply voltage on VBAT is lower than
approximately 1.6 V. When in operation and the battery is being discharged, the device automatically enters the
shutdown mode if the voltage on VBAT drops below approximately 1.6 V. This undervoltage lockout function is
implemented in order to prevent the malfunctioning of the converter.
10.4.2 Softstart
When the device enables the internal start-up cycle starts with the first step, the precharge phase. During
precharge, the rectifying switch is turned on until the output capacitor is charged to a value close to the input
voltage. The rectifying switch current is limited in that phase. This also limits the output current under short-circuit
conditions at the output. After charging the output capacitor to the input voltage the device starts switching. Until
the output voltage is reached, the boost switch current limit is set to 40% of its nominal value to avoid high peak
currents at the battery during startup. When the output voltage is reached, the regulator takes control and the
switch current limit is set back to 100%.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
10.4.3 Power Save Mode And Synchronization
The SYNC pin can be used to select different operation modes. To enable power save, SYNC must be set low.
Power save mode is used to improve efficiency at light load. In power save mode the converter only operates
when the output voltage trips below a set threshold voltage. It ramps up the output voltage with one or several
pulses and goes again into power save mode once the output voltage exceeds the set threshold voltage. This
power save mode can be disabled by setting the SYNC to VBAT.
Applying an external clock with a duty cycle between 30% and 70% at the SYNC pin forces the converter to
operate at the applied clock frequency. The external frequency has to be in the range of about ±20% of the
nominal internal frequency. Detailed values are shown in the electrical characteristic section of the data sheet.
10.4.4 Low Battery Detector Circuit—LBI/LBO
The low-battery detector circuit is typically used to supervise the battery voltage and to generate an error flag
when the battery voltage drops below a user-set threshold voltage. The function is active only when the device is
enabled. When the device is disabled, the LBO pin is high-impedance. The switching threshold is 500 mV at LBI.
During normal operation, LBO stays at high impedance when the voltage, applied at LBI, is above the threshold.
It is active low when the voltage at LBI goes below 500 mV.
The battery voltage, at which the detection circuit switches, can be programmed with a resistive divider
connected to the LBI pin. The resistive divider scales down the battery voltage to a voltage level of 500 mV,
which is then compared to the LBI threshold voltage. The LBI pin has a built-in hysteresis of 10 mV. See the
application section for more details about the programming of the LBI threshold. If the low-battery detection
circuit is not used, the LBI pin should be connected to GND (or to VBAT) and the LBO pin can be left
unconnected. Do not let the LBI pin float.
10.4.5 Low-EMI Switch
The device integrates a circuit that removes the ringing that typically appears on the SW node when the
converter enters discontinuous current mode. In this case, the current through the inductor ramps to zero and the
rectifying PMOS switch is turned off to prevent a reverse current flowing from the output capacitors back to the
battery. Due to the remaining energy that is stored in parasitic components of the semiconductor and the
inductor, a ringing on the SW pin is induced. The integrated antiringing switch clamps this voltage to VBAT and
therefore dampens ringing.

11.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
11.2.2.1 Programming The Output Voltage
The output voltage of the TPS61030 dc/dc converter section can be adjusted with an external resistor divider.
The typical value of the voltage on the FB pin is 500 mV. The maximum allowed value for the output voltage is
5.5 V. The current through the resistive divider should be about 100 times greater than the current into the FB
pin. The typical current into the FB pin is 0.01 µA, and the voltage across R6 is typically 500 mV. Based on those
two values, the recommended value for R4 should be lower than 500 kΩ, in order to set the divider current at 1
µA or higher. Because of internal compensation circuitry the value for this resistor should be in the range of 200
kΩ. From that, the value of resistor R3, depending on the needed output voltage (VO), can be calculated using
equation 1:
R3 + R4

If as an example, an output voltage of 3.3 V is needed, a 1-MΩ resistor should be chosen for R3. If for any
reason the value for R4 is chosen significantly lower than 200 kΩ additional capacitance in parallel to R3 is
recommended. The required capacitance value can be easily calculated using Equation 2:
C

11.2.2.2 Programming The LBI/LBO Threshold Voltage
The current through the resistive divider should be about 100 times greater than the current into the LBI pin. The
typical current into the LBI pin is 0.01 µA, and the voltage across R2 is equal to the LBI voltage threshold that is
generated on-chip, which has a value of 500 mV. The recommended value for R2 is therefore in the range of 500
kΩ. From that, the value of resistor R1, depending on the desired minimum battery voltage VBAT, can be
calculated using Equation 3.

The output of the low battery supervisor is a simple open-drain output that goes active low if the dedicated
battery voltage drops below the programmed threshold voltage on LBI. The output requires a pullup resistor with
a recommended value of 1 MΩ. The maximum voltage which is used to pull up the LBO outputs should not
exceed the output voltage of the dc/dc converter. If not used, the LBO pin can be left floating or tied to GND.
11.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
A boost converter normally requires two main passive components for storing energy during the conversion. A
boost inductor and a storage capacitor at the output are required. To select the boost inductor, it is
recommended to keep the possible peak inductor current below the current limit threshold of the power switch in
the chosen configuration. For example, the current limit threshold of the TPS6103x's switch is 4500 mA at an
output voltage of 5 V. The highest peak current through the inductor and the switch depends on the output load,
the input (VBAT), and the output voltage (VOUT). Estimation of the maximum average inductor current can be done
using Equation 4:
V
OUT
I +I
L
OUT V
0.8
BAT
(4)
For example, for an output current of 1000 mA at 5 V, at least 3500 mA of average current flows through the
inductor at a minimum input voltage of 1.8 V.
The second parameter for choosing the inductor is the desired current ripple in the inductor. Normally, it is
advisable to work with a ripple of less than 20% of the average inductor current. A smaller ripple reduces the
magnetic hysteresis losses in the inductor, as well as output voltage ripple and EMI. But in the same way,
regulation time at load changes rises. In addition, a larger inductor increases the total system costs. With those
parameters, it is possible to calculate the value for the inductor by using Equation 5:

Parameter f is the switching frequency and ΔIL is the ripple current in the inductor, i.e., 10% × IL. In this example,
the desired inductor has the value of 5.5 µH. In typical applications a 6.8 µH inductance is recommended. The
minimum possible inductance value is 2.2 µH. With the calculated inductance and current values, it is possible to
choose a suitable inductor. Care has to be taken that load transients and losses in the circuit can lead to higher
currents as estimated in equation 4. Also, the losses in the inductor caused by magnetic hysteresis losses and
copper losses are a major parameter for total circuit efficiency.
The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used with the TPS6103x converters:

11.2.2.4 Capacitor Selection
11.2.2.4.1 Input Capacitor
At least a 10-µF input capacitor is recommended to improve transient behavior of the regulator and EMI behavior
of the total power supply circuit. A ceramic capacitor or a tantalum capacitor with a 100-nF ceramic capacitor in
parallel, placed close to the IC, is recommended.
11.2.2.4.2 Output Capacitor
The major parameter necessary to define the output capacitor is the maximum allowed output voltage ripple of
the converter. This ripple is determined by two parameters of the capacitor, the capacitance and the ESR. It is
possible to calculate the minimum capacitance needed for the defined ripple, supposing that the ESR is zero, by
using Equation 6:
I
C

OUT
ƒ
ǒVOUT * VBATǓ

(6)
Parameter f is the switching frequency and ΔV is the maximum allowed ripple.
With a chosen ripple voltage of 10 mV, a minimum capacitance of 100 µF is needed. The total ripple is larger
due to the ESR of the output capacitor. This additional component of the ripple can be calculated using
Equation 7:
DV
+I
R
ESR
OUT
ESR
(7)
An additional ripple of 80 mV is the result of using a tantalum capacitor with a low ESR of 80 mΩ. The total ripple
is the sum of the ripple caused by the capacitance and the ripple caused by the ESR of the capacitor. In this
example, the total ripple is 90 mV. Additional ripple is caused by load transients. This means that the output
capacitance needs to be larger than calculated above to meet the total ripple requirements.
The output capacitor must completely supply the load during the charging phase of the inductor. A reasonable
value of the output capacitance depends on the speed of the load transients and the load current during the load
change. With the calculated minimum value of 100 µF and load transient considerations, a recommended output
capacitance value is in around 220 µF. For economical reasons this usually is a tantalum capacitor. Because of
this the control loop has been optimized for using output capacitors with an ESR of above 30 mΩ. The minimum
value for the output capacitor is 22 µF.

11.2.2.4.2.1 Small Signal Stability
When using output capacitors with lower ESR, like ceramics, it is recommended to use the adjustable voltage
version. The missing ESR can be easily compensated there in the feedback divider. Typically a capacitor in the
range of 10 pF in parallel to R3 helps to obtain small signal stability with lowest ESR output capacitors. For more
detailed analysis the small signal transfer function of the error amplifier and regulator, which is given in Equation
8, can be used.

12 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 1.8 V and 5.5 V. This input supply
must be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the converter, additional bulk
capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic or tantalum capacitor
with a value of 47 μF is a typical choice.
13 Layout
13.1 Layout Considerations
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents
and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show stability problems as
well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the power ground
tracks. The input capacitor, output capacitor, and the inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
Use a common ground node for power ground and a different one for control ground to minimize the effects of
ground noise. Connect these ground nodes at any place close to one of the ground pins of the IC.
The feedback divider should be placed as close as possible to the control ground pin of the IC. To lay out the
control ground, it is recommended to use short traces as well, separated from the power ground traces. This
avoids ground shift problems, which can occur due to superimposition of power ground current and control
ground current.

13.3 Thermal Considerations
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependent issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the powerdissipation limits of a given component.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below:
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB
• Introducing airflow in the system
The maximum junction temperature (TJ) of the TPS6103x devices is 125°C. The thermal resistance of the 16-pin
TSSOP PowerPAD package (PWP) is RΘJA = 36.5°C/W (QFN package, RSA, 38.1°C/W), if the PowerPAD is
soldered. Specified regulator operation is assured to a maximum ambient temperature TA of 85°C. Therefore, the
maximum power dissipation for the PWP package is about 1096 mW, for the RSA package it is about 1050 mW.
More power can be dissipated if the maximum ambient temperature of the application is lower.
