SLVSEL7B – APRIL 2019 – REVISED OCTOBER 2019
7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS61390 is a fully integrated boost converter with an 85-V FET to convert a low input voltage to a higher
voltage for biasing the APD. The TPS61390 supports an input voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The device
operates at a 700 kHz pulse-width modulation (PWM) crossing the whole load range.
The device can accurately mirror the APD current ranging from 0.5 uA to 2 mA. There are two ratio options for
the current proportional to APD current: the MON1 (4 : 5) and MON2 (1 : 5). By connecting a resistor from the
mirror output (MON1 or MON2) to GND, the current flowing through the APD is converted into the voltage
crossing the resistor from MON1 / MON2 to GND.
With the sample / hold circuitry built-in and triggered by an external sampling clock, the current mirror signal
(voltage) is transferred and stored on the holdup capacitor, the voltage on the holdup capacitor is then passed
over to the output of an operational amplifier. An external ADC can sense the voltage of the output of the
operational amplifier to measure the optical intensity.
Additionally, a high power optical protection is integrated by clamping the pre-set current limit (program by the
ISHORT resistor). The response time of the high optical power is typically 0.5 µs. The device could recovery
automatically when the high optical power is removed.
The device comes in a 3-mm × 3-mm QFN package with the operating junction temperature covering from –40°C
to 125°C.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit stops the operation of the converter when the input voltage drops below
the typical UVLO threshold of 2.5 V. A hysteresis of 200 mV is added so that the device cannot be enabled again
until the input voltage goes up to 200 mV.
7.3.2 Enable and Disable
When the input voltage is above maximal UVLO rising threshold of 2.5 V and the EN pin is pulled above the high
threshold (1.2 V min.), the TPS61390 is enabled. When the EN pin is pulled below the low threshold (0.4
maximum), the device goes into shutdown mode.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Current Mirror
There are two current mirror options for TPS61390: the gain of 4: 5 (MON1) and 1: 5 (MON2). The maximum
voltage of MON1 and MON2 is 2.5 V.
7.3.4 Sample and Hold
The TPS61390 has the sample-and-hold circuitry built in, including a holdup capacitor for storing the voltage
capture, a FET switch, and one operational amplifier, illustrated in Functional Block Diagram.
To sample the current mirror signal, the switch connects the capacitor to the input of the common-mode
operational amplifier. The amplifier converts the voltage of the capacitor to the output terminal with 4:1 ratio.
In hold mode the switch disconnects the hold-up capacitor from the operation amplifier, the voltage of the
capacitor is discharged to 0 before connecting with current mirror output terminal (MON1 and MON2).
These are two ratios of the current mirror that can be selected automatically by comparing the MON1 voltage
with the internal 400-mV reference. The voltage of MON1 is sampled if the MON1 voltage is below 400 mV, while
the voltage of MON2 is sampled if MON1 being larger than 400 mV. The GAIN pin reports which ratio is selected
for the sample and hold, the logic low (0) for MON1 while logic high (AVCC) for MON2 selected.
Also, the GAIN can be externally selected, pulling low to select the 1 : 5 while high for 4 : 5 ratio.
The voltage measured on VSP pin is calculated by Equation 1 and Equation 2 :
VSP = 4 ´ (0.8 ´ IAPD ´ RMON1) + 4 ´ (IBIAS ´ RMON1)
where
•
•
•
•
VSP is the voltage sampled on VSP pin
IAPD is the current flowing through the APD pin.
RMON1 is the resistor connecting with MON1 pin
IBIAS is the bias current of current mirror
(1)
VSP = 4 ´ (0.2 ´ IAPD ´ RMON2 ) + 4 ´ (IBIAS ´ RMON2 )
where
•
RMON2 is the resistor connecting with MON2 pin
(2)
The bias current is around 20 µA (typical) when there is no APD current flowing through. The bias voltage of
MON1 or MON2 is 60 mV given a 3-kΩ MON resistor connected with MON1 or MON2. Also, the VSP voltage is
reset to 250 mV prior to every sample clock coming. The maximum voltage of the MON1 is clamped to 400 mV
while maximum of MON2 is 2.5 V. The maximum voltage of VSP is close to the AVCC (0.1 V lower typically),
which is the supply voltage of the sample and hold circuitry.
As the timing diagram shown in Figure 11, the sample and hold is enabled by the rising edge of an external clock
connecting to the SAMPLE pin, the holdup capacitor captures the voltage of current mirror signal (the voltage of
MON1 and MON2).
At the falling edge, the sampling is stopped, and the voltage stored on the holdup capacitor is transferred to the
output of the operational amplifier. The minimum time of the sampling time the TPS61390 supports is 350 ns
(typically). The voltage on the stored capacitor is switched to the amplifier’s input voltage. There is approximately
10-µs delay time to make the output voltage of the amplifier ready.
The GAIN selector is always active and the GAIN value is captured by the falling edge of the sample signal.

The output settling time of the operational amplifier is 10 µs while the maximum duration time is 100 µs with 1%
derating (with the nominal voltage).
7.3.5 High Optical Power Protection
There is an additional FET in series of power path connecting with the APD. When the current flowing through
the APD exceeds the short protection threshold (set by connecting the resistor from ISHORT to GND), the on
resistance of the FET becomes larger to clamp the current within the protection threshold by lowering the APD
bias voltage. It takes typically 0.5 µs for the FET to respond in case of high optical power occuring.
When the high optical power condition releases, the TPS61390 recovers automatically back to the normal
operation mode.
7.4 Device Functional Mode
7.4.1 PFM Operation
The TPS61390 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
device skips the switching cycles and reduces the switching losses and improves efficiency at the light load
condition by reducing the average switching frequency.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Selecting the Rectifier Diode
A Schottky diode is the preferred type for the rectifier diode due to its low forward voltage drop and small reverse
recovery charge. Low reverse leakage current is important parameter when selecting the Schottky diode. The
diode must be rated to handle the maximum output voltage plus the switching node ringing. Also, it must be able
to handle the average output current.
8.2.2.2 Selecting the Inductor
It is suggested that the TPS61390 device works in the DCM operation; otherwise the output voltage would not be
delivered for low input voltage to high output voltage.
With the device working in DCM operation, the maximum inductor could be calculated by equation Equation 3
and Equation 4:
L MAX =
VIN ´ D
fSW ´ ILIM
where
•
•
•
•
VIN is input voltage
D is duty cycle
fSW is switching frequency
ILIM is current limit
(3)
For instance, if VIN = 3.3 V, VOUT = 60 V, fSW = 600 kHz, ILIM = 0.8 A, the LMAX = 6.5 µH
However, there is minimum inductance is determined by the power delivered to the output side at given input
condition.
L MIN = 2 ´
V OUT ´ IOUT
eff ´ fSW ´ ILIM 2
where
•
•
•
•
•
VOUT is output voltage
IOUT is output current
eff is the efficiency
fSW is switching frequency
ILIM is current limit
(4)
For instance, if IOUT = 8 mA, VOUT = 60 V, fSW = 600 kHz, ILIM = 0.8 A, eff = 0.6, the LMIN = 4.2 µH
With the calculation aforementioned, the operating inductor is recommended between the LMIN and LMAX.
The 4.7 µH inductance is optimum value for using the TPS61390 in application.
8.2.2.3 Selecting Output Capacitor
Use low ESR capacitors at the output to minimize output voltage ripple. Use only X5R and X7R types, which
retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types. Typically use a 0.1-μF to 1μF capacitor for output voltage. Take care when evaluating the derating of a ceramic capacitor under the DC
bias. Ceramic capacitors can derate its capacitance at its rated voltage. Therefore, consider enough margins on
the voltage rating to ensure adequate capacitance at the required output voltage.
8.2.2.4 Selecting Filter Resistor and Capacitor
TI recommends an additional R-C filter be added for low ripple applications. The filter parameters is
characterized based on the ripple requirement. Typically, use a 100-Ω and 0.1-µF filter to reduce the switching
output ripple.
8.2.2.5 Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the TPS61390 is externally adjustable using a resistor divider network. The relationship
between the output voltage and the resistor divider is given by Equation 5.

VOUT = VFB ´ (1 +
RUP
)
RDOWN
where
•
•
•
VOUT is the output voltage
RUP the top divider resistor
RDOWN is the bottom divider resistor
(5)
Choose RDOWN to be approximately 10 kΩ. Slightly increasing or decreasing RDOWN can result in closer output
voltage matching when using standard value resistors. In this design, RDOWN = 10 kΩ and RUP = 487 kΩ,
resulting in an output voltage of 60 V.
8.2.2.6 Selecting Sample Window
A pulse signal is connected with SAMPLE pin; the minimum window is 350 ns while the frequency of the pulse is
lower than 100 kHz.
8.2.2.7 Selecting Capacitor for CAP pin
TI recommends placing a ceramic capacitor from CAP pin to GND to lower the noise for the APD current mirror.
A ceramic capacitor between 10 nF and 100 nF is recommended from CAP pin to GND.
8.2.2.8 Selecting Capacitor for AVCC pin
The control circuitry is powered by AVCC. A ceramic capacitor must be placed close to AVCC, with a typical
capacitor value of 2.2 µF.
8.2.2.9 Selecting Capacitor for APD pin
A ceramic capacitor is required to make the APD current mirror more accurately against the noise coupling. The
recommended values are from 100 pF to 470 pF.
8.2.2.10 Selecting the Resistors of MON1 or MON2
The TPS61390 provides two currents proportional to APD current on the MON pins, 4 : 5 and 1 : 5. The voltage
of the resistors connecting to the MON pins convert the APD current to voltage. The relation between APD
current and the voltage on MON 1 or MON 2 pins is shown in Equation 1 and Equation 2 .
The resistor value depends on the VSP pin voltage. While RC time constant of MON 1 and MON 2 is
recommended to be 1/10 of the sample window time.
8.2.2.11 Selecting the Capacitors of MON1 or MON2
The capacitors are added to the MON1 or MON2 pins to decouple the noise of APD transient current. Suggested
RC time (formed by the MON1 or MON2 is 1/10 with that of the sample window. With 3-kΩ RMON resistance, TI
recommends a 10-pF capacitor connecting MON1 or MON2 pins to make sure the voltage on MON1 or MON2 is
stable before sample signal coming.
It is recommended that RC time constant of MON 1 and MON 2 is around 1/10 of the sample window time.
8.2.2.12 Selecting the Resistor of Gain pin
The GAIN pin can be configured as both input and output. If the GAIN pin is configured as output pin, TI
recommends that it be directly connected with the external I/O.
If the pin is configured as the input pin to select the current mirror ratio, the pull up or pull down resistor must be
lower than 1-kΩ as there is an internal 5-kΩ resistor on the GAIN pin.
8.2.2.13 Selecting the Short Current Limit
The output current short-protection threshold of the TPS61390 can be programmed by an external resistor with
Equation 6 .The short protection threshold is calculated by Equation 1 and Equation 2:
ISHORT =
100
R SHORT

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.5 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 device, 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. Use the following checklist to get
good performance for a well-designed board:
• 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;
• Place the noise sensitive network like sample hold and current mirror output (MON1, MON2) being far away
from the SW trace;
• Split the ground for the power GND, signal GND. Use a separate ground trace to connect the sample/hold
and boost circuitry. Connect this ground trace to the main power ground at a single point to minimize
circulating currents.
