Auto PFM Operation - TPS61178
Forced PWM Mode - TPS611781
3.0-mm x 3.5-mm 13-pin VQFN Hotrod Package
Create a Custom Design Using the TPS61178
With the WEBENCH® Power Designer
The TPS61178x uses the fixed frequency peak
current mode control with the slope compensation
integrated. At the light load, the TPS61178 enters into
the auto PFM mode while TPS611781 is in the forced
PWM mode.
The TPS61178x could isolate the output from input
side when shutdown. Once the output is shorted, it
enters into the hiccup mode to lower the thermal
stress and can recover automatically after the short
releases. Additionally, the TPS61178x also has OVP
and thermal protection to avoid the fault operation.
The TPS61178x is in a 3.0-mm x 3.5-mm 13-pin
VQFN package with enhanced thermal dissipation.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS61178x family is a synchronous boost converter designed for delivering the switch peak current up to 10
A and output voltage reaching to 20 V. The TPS61178x family operates at a fixed frequency pulse-width
modulation (PWM) at the moderate to heavy load currents. At the light load current, the TPS61178 operates in
the PFM mode while the TPS611781 operates in the Forced PWM mode. The PFM mode brings the high
efficiency crossing the entire load range while the Forced PWM mode can avoid the noise interference at the
light load.
With the peak current mode control scheme, the TPS61178x provides the excellent line and load transient
response with the minimal output capacitance. The external loop compensation brings the flexibility to use a
wider range of the inductor and output capacitor combinations.
The TPS61178x supports the adjustable switching frequency up to 2.2 MHz. The device implements a cycle-bycycle current limit to protect the device from overload during the boost operation phase. Additionally, if the output
current further increases and exceeds the short current threshold or the output voltage drops below the short
threshold. The TPS61178x triggers the hiccup short protection and recovers automatically once the short
condition releases.
Additionally, the TPS61178x provides the gate driver for the external FET to isolate the output from input end
during shutdown.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Under-voltage Lockout
An under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit stops the operation of the converter when the input voltage drops below
the UVLO threshold of 2.3 V. A hysteresis of 400 mV is added so that the device cannot be enabled again until
the input voltage exceeds 2.7 V. This function is implemented in order to prevent malfunctioning of the device
when the input voltage is between 2.3 V and 2.7 V.
8.3.2 Enable and Disable
When the input voltage is above UVLO rising threshold of 2.7 V and the EN pin is pulled high above 1.2 V, the
TPS61178X is enabled. When the EN pin is pulled below 0.4 V, the TPS61178x goes into the shutdown mode
and stops switching.
8.3.3 Startup
When the input voltage to the device exceeds the UVLO threshold and EN pin pulled to high as well, the
TPS61178x starts to ramp up the output voltage. There is a switching pre-charge phase and the output voltage is
charged up to 10% higher than the input voltage (1.1 x VIN). The switching frequency is a fixed 500 kHz at the
pre-charge phase.
After the pre-charge phase ends (typical 2.6 ms), The TPS61178x regulates the FB pin to the internal soft start
voltage and results in a gradual rise of the output voltage starting from the input voltage level to the target output
voltage. The soft start time is typical 3.2 ms, which helps the regulator to gradually reach the steady state setting
point, thus reducing the startup stresses and surges. The switching frequency follows the oscillator setting by the
resistor connecting with the FREQ / SYNC pin.
If the device is synchronized by the external clock, the switching frequency is fixed 500 kHz at the soft start
phase and changes to the external clock when the soft start phase ends.
8.3.4 Load Disconnect Gate Driver
The TPS61178 device provides a DISDRV pin to drive the external FET at the output side, which completely
disconnects the output from the input end during shutdown or output short happens. During the device’s start-up
phase, the disconnect FET is controlled by the gate driver voltage of the external disconnect FET, there is an
internal 55 µA (typical) sink current. The load disconnect FET connection is shown as Figure 17
The driver voltage and turn on / off timing can be set via the resistor and capacitor connecting between with the
DISDRV pin and the source of the external FET. See the Application and Implementation section for the details
of how to select the gate resistor and capacitor

8.3.5 Adjustable Peak Current Limit
When the TPS61178x is in the normal boost switching phase, the device is prevented from the over current
condition via the cycle by cycle current limit by sensing the current through the internal low-side FET. When the
peak switch current triggers the current limit threshold, the low-side switch turns off to prevent the switching
current further increasing.
The peak switch current limit can be set by a resistor connecting with the ILIMIT pin. The relationship between the
current limit and the resistor is determined by Equation 1
745
RLIMIT =
ILIMIT
(1)
Where RLIMIT is the resistor for setting the current limit, with the unit of kΩ, ILIMIT is switching peak current limit,
the unit is A. For instance, when the resistor value is 50 kΩ, the switch peak current limit is 15 A.
Figure 18 shows the current limit versus the setting resistor for both TPS61178 ( Auto PFM ) and TPS611781 (
Forced PWM ) with 7.2-V input to 16-V output.

Feature Description (continued)
For the TPS611781, which works in the Forced PWM mode at the light load, the current limit is typically 0.8 A
lower than TPS61178 (Auto PFM) with the same setting resistor.
8.3.6 Output Short Protection (with load disconnected FET)
In addition to the cycle-by-cycle current limiting, the TPS61178x also has the output short protection. If the
inductor current reaches the short protection limit threshold (typical 20A ) or the output voltage drops below 30%
(typical) of the normal output voltage, the device enters into the hiccup protection mode. In the hiccup mode, the
device shuts down itself and restarts after 90ms (typical) waiting time which helps to reduce the total thermal
dissipation. After the short condition releases, the device can recover automatically and restart the start-up
phase. The hiccup protection scheme is illustrated in Figure 20.

frequency is set by a resistor connecting with the FREQ / SYNC pin. This pin cannot be left floating in the
application. Use Equation 2 and Equation 3 to calculate the resistor value for a desired frequency.

8.3.8 External Clock Synchronization (TPS611781)
The FREQ/ SYNC pin can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator by an external clock. A positive voltage
at the FREQ / SYNC pin must exceed the rising threshold (1.2 V) while must be lower than the falling threshold
(0.4 V) to trip the internal synchronization pulse detector. The recommended frequency for the external clock is
between 200 kHz and 2.2 MHz.
8.3.9 Error Amplifier
The TPS61178x has a trans-conductance amplifier and compares the feedback voltage with the internal voltage
reference (or the internal soft start voltage during startup phase). The trans-conductance of the error amplifier is
195 µA / V typically. The loop compensation components are required to be placed between the COMP terminal
and ground to balance the loop stability and the transient response time.
8.3.10 Slope Compensation
The TPS61178x adopts the peak current mode control and adds a compensating ramp to the switch current
signal. This slope compensation prevents the sub-harmonic oscillations when the duty cycle is larger than 50%.
The available peak inductor current varies a little bit with operating duty cycles shown in Figure 19.
8.3.11 Start-up with the Output Pre-Biased
The TPS61178x has been designed to prevent the low-side FET from discharging a pre-biased output. During
the pre-biased startup, both high-side and low-side FETs are not allowed to be turned on until the internal soft
start voltage is higher than the sensed output voltage at FB pin.
8.3.12 Bootstrap Voltage (BST)
The TPS61178x has an integrated bootstrap regulator, and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the BST
pin and SW pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side FET. The bootstrap capacitor is charged when
the BST-SW voltage is below regulation. The value of this ceramic capacitor should be above 0.1 µF. A ceramic
capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 10 V or higher is recommended because of
the stable characteristics over temperature and DC biased voltage.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.13 Over-voltage Protection
If the output voltage at the VOUT pin is detected above over-voltage protection threshold, typically 21 V, the
TPS61178x stops switching immediately until the voltage at the VOUT pin drops lower than the output overvoltage protection threshold (with 500mV hysteresis). This function prevents the devices against the over-voltage
and secures the circuits connected to the output from excessive over voltage.
8.3.14 Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent the damage due to the excessive heat and power dissipation.
Typically, the thermal shutdown occurs at the junction temperature exceeding 150°C. When the thermal
shutdown is triggered, the device stops switching and recover when the junction temperature falls below 130°C
(typical).
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Operation
TPS61178x operates at the peak current-mode pulse-width-modulation (PWM). At the beginning of each
switching cycle, the low-side FET switch turns on, and the inductor current ramps up to a peak current that is
determined by the output of the internal error amplifier. The PWM controller turns off the low-side FET when the
peak inductor current reaches a threshold level set by the error amplifier output. After the low-side FET turns off,
the high-side synchronous FET is turned on after a short dead time until the beginning of the next oscillator clock
cycle or until the inductor current reaches the reverse current sense threshold.
During the portion of the switching cycle when the low-side FET is on, the input voltage is applied across the
inductor and stores the energy as the inductor current ramps up. Meanwhile only the output capacitor supplies
the load current. When it turns off the low-side FET, the inductor transfers the stored energy via the high-side
synchronous FET to replenish the output capacitor and also supply the load current. This operation repeats every
switching cycle.
The device features the internal slope compensation to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation that is intrinsic to peakcurrent mode control at duty cycle larger than 50%. The internal slope compensation may not be adequate to
maintain stability for a very low inductance in application.
At the light load condition, the TPS61178x implements two options: Auto PFM mode (TPS61178) and Forced
PWM mode (TPS611781) to meet different application requirements.
8.4.2 Auto PFM Mode (TPS61178)
The TPS61178 integrates a Power Save Mode with pulse frequency modulation ( PFM ) at the light load. When a
light load condition occurs, the COMP pin voltage naturally decreases and reduces the peak current. When the
COMP pin voltage further goes down with the load lowered and reaches the pre-set low threshold, the output of
the error amplifier is clamped at this threshold and does not go down any more. If the load is further lowered, the
output voltage of TPS61178 exceeds the nominal voltage and the device skips the switching cycles and regulate
the output voltage at a higher threshold (typical 101%*VOUT_NORMAL).
The Auto PFM mode reduces the switching losses and improves efficiency at the light load condition by reducing
the average switching frequency.
8.4.3 Forced PWM Mode (TPS611781)
In the Forced PWM mode, the TPS611781 keeps the switching frequency being constant for the whole load
range. When the load current decreases, the output of the internal error amplifier decreases as well to lower the
inductor peak current and delivers less power from input to output. The high-side FET is not turned off even if the
current through the FET goes negative to keep the switching frequency being the same as that of the heavy load.

9.2.2.2 Setting the Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the TPS61178 is set at 500 kHz. Use Equation 2 to calculate the required resistor
value. The calculated value is 342 kΩ. Use the next higher standard value of 348 kΩ.
9.2.3 Setting the Current Limit
The current limit of the TPS61178 could be programmed by an external resistor. For a target current limit of 13
A, the calculated resistor value is 57 kΩ. However, the minimum current limit is around 1.6 A lower than the
typical one. Here, selecting the 51.1 kΩ resistor to deliver 13-A peak current at the worst case.
9.2.4 Setting the Output Voltage

(4)
Choose RDOWN to be approximately 80.6 kΩ. Slightly increasing or decreasing RDOWN can result in closer output
voltage matching when using standard value resistors. In this design, RDOWN = 80.6 kΩ and RUP = 1000 kΩ,
resulting in an output voltage of 16 V.
For the best accuracy, RDOWN is recommended to be smaller than 100 kΩ to ensure that the current following
through RDOWN is at least 100 times larger than FB pin leakage current. Changing RDOWN towards the lower value
increases the robustness against noise injection. Changing the RDOWN towards the higher values reduces the
quiescent current for achieving higher efficiency at the light load currents.
9.2.4.1 Selecting the Inductor
A boost converter normally requires two main passive components for storing the energy during the power
conversion: an inductor and an output capacitor. The inductor affects the steady state efficiency ( including the
ripple and efficiency ) as well as the transient behavior and loop stability, which makes the inductor to be the
most critical component in application.
When selecting the inductor, as well as the inductance, the other parameters of importance are:
• The maximum current rating (RMS and peak current should be considered),
• The series resistance,
• Operating temperature
Choosing the inductor ripple current with the low ripple percentage of the average inductor current results in a
larger inductance value, maximizes the converter’s potential output current and minimizes EMI. The larger ripple
results in a smaller inductance value, and a physically smaller inductor, improves transient response but results
in potentially higher EMI.
The rule of thumb to choose the inductor is that to make the inductor ripple current (ΔIL) is a certain percentage
(Ripple % = 20 – 30 %) of the average current. The inductance can be calculated by Equation 5, Equation 6, and
Equation 7:

The TPS61178x has built-in slope compensation to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation associated with the current
mode control. If the inductor value is too low and makes the inductor peak-to-peak ripple higher than 4 A, the
slope compensation may not be adequate, and the loop can be unstable. Therefore, it is recommended to make
the peak-to-peak current ripple below 4 A when selecting the inductor.
Inductor values can have ± 20% or even ± 30% tolerance with no current bias. When the inductor current
approaches the saturation level, its inductance can decrease 20% to 35% from the value at 0-A bias current
depending on how the inductor vendor defines saturation. When selecting an inductor, make sure its rated
current, especially the saturation current, is larger than its peak current during the operation.
The inductor peak current varies as a function of the load, the switching frequency, the input and output voltages
and it can be calculated by Equation 8 and Equation 9.

current. The total losses of the coil consists of the DC resistance ( DCR ) loss and the following frequency

Magnetic field losses of the neighboring windings (proximity effect)
For a certain inductor, the larger current ripple (smaller inductor) generates the higher DC and also the
frequency-dependent loss. An inductor with lower DCR is basically recommended for higher efficiency. However,
it is usually a tradeoff between the loss and foot print.
The following inductor series in Table 2 from the different suppliers are recommended. 74437368033 from Würth
is used for this application case with balancing the size and power loss.

9.2.4.2 Selecting the Output Capacitors
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirements at load transient or steady state. Then the loop
is compensated for the output capacitor selected. The output ripple voltage is related to the equivalent series
resistance (ESR) of the capacitor and its capacitance. Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum
capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated by Equation 12:
I
´ (VOUT - VIN )
COUT = OUT
fSW ´ DV ´ VOUT
where
•
•
•
•
•
•
COUT is the output capacitor
IOUT is the output current
VOUT is the output voltage
VIN is the input voltage
ΔV is the output voltage ripple required
ƒSW is the switching frequency
(12)
The additional output ripple component caused by ESR is calculated by Equation 13:
DVESR = IOUT ´ RESR
where
•
•
ΔVESR is the output voltage ripple caused by ESR
RESR is the resistor in series with the output capacitor
(13)
For the ceramic capacitor, the ESR ripple can be neglected. However, for the tantalum or electrolytic capacitors,
it must be considered if used.
The minimum ceramic output capacitance needed to meet a load transient requirement can be estimated using
Equation 14:
DISTEP
COUT =
2p ´ fBW ´ DVTRAN
where
•

ΔISTEP is the transient load current step

ΔVTRAN is the allowed voltage dip for the load current step
ƒBW is the control loop bandwidth (i.e., the frequency where the control loop gain crosses zero)
(14)
Care must be taken when evaluating a ceramic capacitor’s derating under the DC bias. Ceramic capacitors can
derate by as much as 70% of its capacitance at its rated voltage. Therefore, enough margins on the voltage
rating should be considered to ensure adequate capacitance at the required output voltage.
In applications of TPS61178x, it is recommended to run the converter with a reasonable amount of effective
output capacitance, for instance 3 x 22-μF X5R or X7R MLCC capacitors connected in parallel.
If the load disconnect FET is connected, the output capacitor should be split shown in Figure 23. COUT2 should
be no larger than 10 x COUT1 to avoid the inrush current when turning on the disconnect FET.

9.2.4.3 Selecting the Input Capacitors
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice for the input decoupling of the step-up converter as they
have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. Input capacitors should be located as close as
possible to the device. While a 22-µF input capacitor is sufficient for the most applications, larger values may be
used to reduce input current ripple.
Take care when using only ceramic input capacitors. When a ceramic capacitor is used at the input and the
power is being supplied through long wires, such as from a wall adapter, a load step at the output can induce
ringing at the VIN pin. This ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop instability or could even
damage the part. Additional "bulk" capacitance (electrolytic or tantalum) in this circumstance, should be placed
between CIN and the power source lead to reduce ringing that can occur between the inductance of the power
source leads and CIN.
9.2.4.4 Loop Stability and Compensation
9.2.4.4.1 Small Signal Model
The TPS61178x uses the fixed frequency peak current mode control; there is an internal adaptive slope
compensation to avoid the sub-harmonic oscillation. With the inductor current information sensed, the smallsignal model of the power stage reduces from a two-pole system, created by L and COUT, to a single-pole
system, created by ROUT and COUT. The single-pole system is easily used with the loop compensation. Figure 24
shows the equivalent small signal elements of a boost converter.

9.2.4.4.2 Loop Compensation Design Steps
With the small signal models coming out, the next step is to calculate the compensation network parameters with
the given inductor and output capacitance.
1. Set the Cross Over Frequency, ƒC
– The first step is to set the loop crossover frequency, ƒC. The higher crossover frequency, the faster the
loop response is. It is generally accepted that the loop gain cross over no higher than the lower of either
1/10 of the switching frequency, ƒSW, or 1/5 of the RHPZ frequency, ƒRHPZ. Then calculate the loop
compensation network values of RC, CC, and CP by following below equations.
2. Set the Compensation Resistor, RC
– By placing ƒZ below ƒC, for frequencies above ƒC, RC | | REA ~= RC and so RC × GEA sets the
compensation gain. Setting the compensation gain, KCOMP-dB, at ƒZ, results in the total loop gain, T(s) =
GPS(s) × HEA(s) × He(s) being zero at ƒC.
– Therefore, to approximate a single-pole roll-off up to fP2, rearrange Equation 22 to solve for RC so that
the compensation gain, KEA, at fC is the negative of the gain, KPS, read at frequency fC for the power
stage bode plot or more simply:
RDOWN
KEA (fC ) = 20 ´ log(GEA ´ RC ´
) = - KPS (fC )
RUP + RDOWN
where
•
•
•
KEA is gain of the error amplifier network
KPS is the gain of the power stage
GEA is the amplifier’s trans-conductance, the typical value of GEA = 195 µA / V
3. Set the compensation zero capacitor, CC
– Place the compensation zero at the power stage ROUT ,COUT pole’s position, so to get:
1
fZ =
2p ´ RC ´ CC
– Set ƒZ = ƒP, and get the
R
´ COUT
CC = OUT
2RC
(26)
(27)
(28)
4. Set the compensation pole capacitor, CP
– Place the compensation pole at the zero produced by the RESR and the COUT, it is useful for canceling
unhelpful effects of the ESR zero.
1
fP2 =
2p ´ RC ´ CP
(29)
fESR =
1
2p ´ RESR ´ COUT
(30)
– Set ƒP2 = ƒESR, and get the
R
´ COUT
CP = ESR
RC
(31)
– If the calculated value of CP is less than 10 pF, it can be neglected.
Designing the loop for greater than 45° of phase margin and greater than 6-dB gain margin eliminates output
voltage ringing during the line and load transient. The RC = 15 kΩ , CC = 6.8 nF, Cp = 10 pF for this design
example.
9.2.4.4.3 Selecting the Disconnect FET

shutdown or output short conditions, shown in Figure 25.

9.2.4.4.4 Selecting the Bootstrap Capacitor
The bootstrap capacitor between the BST and SW pin supplies the gate current to charge the high-side FET
device gate during each cycle’s turn-on and also supplies charge for the bootstrap capacitor. The recommended
value of the bootstrap capacitor is 0.1 µF to 1 µF. CBST should be a good quality, low ESR, ceramic capacitor
located at the pins of the device to minimize potentially damaging voltage transients caused by trace inductance.
A value of 0.1 µF was selected for this design example.
9.2.4.4.5 VCC Capacitor
The primary purpose of the VCC capacitor is to supply the peak transient currents of the driver and bootstrap
capacitor as well as provide stability for the VCC regulator. The value of CVCC should be at least 10 times greater
than the value of CBST, and should be a good quality, low ESR, ceramic capacitor. CVCC should be placed close
to the pins of the IC to minimize potentially damaging voltage transients caused by the trace inductance. A value
of 4.7 µF was selected for this design example.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply ranging from 2.7 V to 20 V. This input supply
should be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the TPS61178x, the bulk
capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor with a value
of 47 µF is a typical choice.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The basic PCB board layout requires a separation of sensitive signal and power paths. If the layout is not
carefully done, the regulator could suffer from the instability or noise problems.
The checklist below is suggested that be followed to get good performance for a well-designed board:
1. Minimize the high current path including the switch FET, rectifier FET, and the output capacitor. This loop
contains high di/dt switching currents ( nano seconds per ampere ) and easy to transduce the high frequency
noise;
2. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the SW pin, and always use a ground plane under
the switching regulator to minimize inter plane coupling;
3. Use a combination of bulk capacitors and smaller ceramic capacitors with low series resistance for the input
and output capacitors. Place the smaller capacitors closer to the IC to provide a low impedance path for
decoupling the noise;
4. The ground area near the IC must provide adequate heat dissipating area. Connect the wide power bus
(e.g., VOUT, SW, GND ) to the large area of copper, or to the bottom or internal layer ground plane, using vias
for enhanced thermal dissipation;
5. Place the input capacitor being close to the VIN pin and the PGND pin in order to reduce the input supply
ripple;
6. Place the noise sensitive network like the feedback and compensation being far away from the SW trace;
7. Use a separate ground trace to connect the feedback, compensation, frequency set, and the current limit set
circuitry. Connect this ground trace to the main power ground at a single point to minimize circulating
currents.
