Create a Custom Design Using the TPS61372
With WEBENCH® Power Designer
The TPS61372 uses the peak current mode with the
adaptive off-time control topology. The device works
in PWM operation of 1.5 MHz at moderate-to-heavy
loads. At the light load conditions, the device can be
configured in either auto PFM or forced PWM
operation by the MODE pin connection. Auto PFM
mode has the benefit of high efficiency at light load
while forced PWM operation keeps the switching
frequency constant across the whole load range. The
TPS61372 has a soft start to minimize the inrush
current during start-up. The TPS61372 features of the
load disconnect during shut down and provides a
output short protection of hiccup mode. In addition,
the device implements output overvoltage and
thermal shutdown protection. The TPS61372 delivers
a compact solution size with a 16-pin WCSP 1.57mm × 1.52-mm package of 0.5-mm height.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS61372 is a highly-integrated synchronous boost converter to support 16-V output with load disconnect
and short protection built-in. The TPS61372 supports the input voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The
TPS61372 uses the peak current mode with adaptive off-time control topology to regulate the output voltage. The
TPS61372 operates at a quasi-constant frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) at the moderate to heavy load
current. At the beginning of each cycle, the low-side FET turns on and the inductor current ramps up to reach a
peak current determined by the output of the error amplifier (EA). When the peak current pre-set value
determined by the EA's output trips, the low-side FET turns off. As long as the low-side FET turns off, the highside FET turns on after a short delay time to avoid the shoot through. The duration of low-side FET off state is
determined by the VIN / VOUT ratio.
High efficiency is achieved at light load as the TPS61372 operates in PFM operation. The device could be also
configured at the forced PWM mode to keep the frequency be constant across the whole load range and be
more immunity against the noise sensitive applications.

SLVSEE7A – JUNE 2018 – REVISED DECEMBER 2018
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents the device from malfunctioning at the low input voltage of the
battery from the excessive discharge. The device starts operation once the rising VIN trips the UVLO threshold
and it disables the output stage of the converter once the VIN is below UVLO falling threshold.
7.3.2 Enable and Disable
When the input voltage is above UVLO threshold and the EN pin is pulled above the high threshold (1.2 V
minimum), the TPS61372 is enabled. When the EN pin is pulled below the low threshold (0.4 V maximum), the
TPS61372 goes into the shutdown mode.
7.3.3 Error Amplifier
The TPS61372 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
175 µA / V typically. The loop compensation components are placed between the COMP terminal and ground for
optimizing the loop stability and response speed.
7.3.4 Bootstrap Voltage (BST)
The TPS61372 has an integrated bootstrap regulator and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the BST
and SW pin to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side FET. The value of this ceramic capacitor is
recommended between 20 nF to 200 nF.
7.3.5 Load Disconnect
The TPS61372 device provides a load disconnect function, which completely disconnects the output from the
input during shutdown or falut conditions.
7.3.6 Overvoltage Protection
If the output voltage is detected above overvoltage protection threshold (typically 17.3 V), the TPS61372 stops
switching immediately until the voltage at the VOUT pin drops below the output over-voltage protection recovery
threshold (with 500-mV hysteresis). This function prevents the devices against the overvoltage and secures the
circuits connected with the output of excessive over voltage.
7.3.7 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 140°C (typical). When the thermal
shutdown is triggered, the device stops switching and recovers when the junction temperature falls below 120°C
(typical).
7.3.8 Start-Up
The TPS61372 implements the soft-start function to reduce the inrush current during startup. The TPS61372
begins soft start when the EN pin is pulled high. There are two phases for the start-up procedure:
• When VOUT is below 120% VIN, the output votlage ramps up with the switching frequency of 535 kHz (typical).
• When VOUT exceeds 120% VIN, the switching frequency changes to 1.5 MHz typically and ramps up the
output voltage to the setpoint.
7.3.9 Short Protection
The TPS61372 provides a hiccup protection mode when the output short protection happening. In the hiccup
mode, the TPS61372 shuts down after the 1.9-ms duration of current limit being triggered and the VOUT being
pulled below 105% VIN. In the hiccup steady state, the device shuts down itself and restarts after 74 ms (typical)
waiting time which helps to reduce the overall thermal dissipation at continuous short condition. After the short
condition releases, the device can recover automatically and restart the start-up phase.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Operation
In light load condition, the TPS61372 can be configured at Auto PFM or Forced PWM. At Auto PFM operation,
the switching frequency is lowered at light load and features of higher efficiency. While for the Forced PWM
operation, the frequency keeps constant across the whole load range.
7.4.2 Auto PFM Mode
The TPS61372 integrates a power-save mode with pulse frequency modulation (PFM) at the light load (set the
mode pin low logic or floating). The device skips the switching cycles and regulate the output voltage at a higher
threshold (typically 101.6% × VOUT_NORM) Figure 9 shows the working principle of the PFM operation. The auto
PFM mode reduces the switching losses and improves efficiency at light load condition by reducing the average
switching frequency.

7.4.3 Forced PWM Mode
In the forced PWM mode, the TPS61372 keeps the switching frequency being constant across 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. The high-side FET is not turned off even if the current through the
FET goes negative to keep the switching frequency be the same as that of the heavy load.
7.4.4 Mode Selectable
There is a mode pin to configure the TPS61372 into two different operation modes. The device works in the auto
PFM mode when pulling the mode pin to low or floating and in forced PWM mode when mode pin is high

Choose RDOWN to be approximately 100 kΩ. Slightly increasing or decreasing RDOWN can result in closer output
voltage matching when using standard value resistors. In this design, RDOWN = 100 kΩ and RUP = 1.909 MΩ (1
MΩ + 909 kΩ) , resulting in an output voltage of 12 V.

For the best accuracy, RDOWN is recommended around 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.
8.2.2.3 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
of the average current. The inductance can be calculated by Equation 2, Equation 3, and Equation 4:
V ´D
DIL = IN
L ´ fSW
(2)
DIL _ R = Ripple% ´
VOUT ´ IOUT
h ´ VIN
(3)
h ´ VIN

•

ΔIL is the peak-peak inductor current ripple
VIN is the input voltage
D is the duty cycle
L is the inductor
ƒSW is the switching frequency
Ripple % is the ripple ration versus the DC current
VOUT is the output voltage
IOUT is the output current
η is the efficiency
(4)
The current flowing through the inductor is the inductor ripple current plus the average input current. During
power-up, load faults, or transient load conditions, the inductor current can increase above the peak inductor
current calculated.
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 5 and Equation 6.

IPEAK = IIN + ´ DIL

where
•
•
•
IPEAK is the peak current of the inductor
IIN is the input average current
ΔIL is the ripple current of the inductor

IIN = OUT OUT
VIN ´ h
where
•
•
•
•
IIN is the input current of the inductor
VOUT is the output voltage

calculated by Equation 2, replace Equation 2, Equation 6 into Equation 5 to calculate the inductor peak current:
IOUT
1 V ´D
+ ´ IN
IPEAK =
(1 - D) ´ h 2 L ´ fSW

•

IPEAK is the peak current of the inductor
IOUT is the output current
D is the duty cycle
η is the efficiency
VIN is the input voltage
L is the inductor
ƒSW is the switching frequency
(7)
The heat rating current (RMS) is calculated by Equation 8:
IL _ RMS = IIN 2 +
1
( DIL )2
12
where
•
•
•
IL_RMS is the RMS current of the inductor
IIN is the input current of the inductor
ΔIL is the ripple current of the inductor
(8)
It is important that the peak current does not exceed the inductor saturation current and the RMS current is not
over the temperature related rating current of the inductors.
For a given physical inductor size, increasing inductance usually results in an inductor with lower saturation
current. The total losses of the coil consists of the DC resistance ( DCR ) loss and the following frequency
dependent loss:
• The losses in the core material (magnetic hysteresis loss, especially at high switching frequencies)
• Additional losses in the conductor from the skin effect (current displacement at high frequencies)
• 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 usµAlly a tradeoff between the loss and foot print.

8.2.2.4 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 9:
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
(9)
The additional output ripple component caused by ESR is calculated by Equation 10:
DVESR = IOUT ´ RESR
where
•
•
ΔVESR is the output voltage ripple caused by ESR
RESR is the resistor in series with the output capacitor
(10)
For the ceramic capacitor, the ESR ripple can be neglected. However, for the tantalum or electrolytic capacitors,
it must be considered if used.
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 adeqµAte capacitance at the required output voltage.

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. Place additional "bulk" capacitance (electrolytic or tantalum) in this circumstance, between CIN
and the power source lead to reduce ringing that can occur between the inductance of the power source leads
and CIN.
8.2.2.6 Loop Stability and Compensation
8.2.2.6.1 Small Signal Model
The TPS61372 uses the peak current with adaptive off time control topology. With the inductor current
information sensed, the small-signal 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. An external loop compensation network connecting to
the COMP pin of TPS61372 is added to optimize the loop stability and the response time, a resistor RC, capacitor
CC and CP shown in Figure 11 comprises the loop compensation network.

8.2.2.6.2 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 Crossover 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 eqµAtions.
2. Set the Compensation Resistor, RC
– By placing ƒZ below ƒC, for frequencies above ƒC, RC | | REA approximately = 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.

8.2.2.6.3 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 20 nF to 200 nF. 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 100 nF is selected for this design example.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The devices are designed to operate from an input voltage supply ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. This input supply
must be well regulated. If the input supply is located more than a few inches from the TPS61372, 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.
10 Layout
10.1 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 from output of chip, the output capacitor to the GND of chip. 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 (for
example, 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 and the loop compensation circuitry. Connect this
ground trace to the main power ground at a single point to minimize circulating currents.

10.3 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 power
dissipation limits of a given component.
Two 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
As power demand in portable designs is more and more important, designers must figure the best trade-off
between efficiency, power dissipation and solution size. Due to integration and miniaturization, junction
temperature can increase significantly which could lead to bad application behaviors (that is, premature thermal
shutdown or worst case reduce device reliability). Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application
and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be
paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design. Keep the device operating junction temperature (TJ) below
125°C.
