•
•
•
•
With an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 6 V, the
device is a perfect fit for power conversion from a
single Li-Ion battery as well from 5-V or 3.3-V system
supply rails. The TPS6206x operates at 3-MHz fixed
frequency and enters power save mode operation at
light load currents to maintain high efficiency over the
entire load current range. The power save mode is
optimized for low output voltage ripple. For low noise
applications, the device can be forced into fixed
frequency PWM mode by pulling the MODE pin high.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS62060 step down converter operates with typically 3-MHz fixed frequency pulse width modulation
(PWM) at moderate to heavy load currents. At light load currents the converter can automatically enter power
save mode and operates then in pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode.
During PWM operation the converter use a unique fast response voltage mode controller scheme with input
voltage feed-forward to achieve good line and load regulation allowing the use of small ceramic input and output
capacitors. At the beginning of each clock cycle initiated by the clock signal, the high-side MOSFET switch is
turned on. The current flows now from the input capacitor through the high-side MOSFET switch through the
inductor to the output capacitor and load. During this phase, the current ramps up until the PWM comparator trips
and the control logic will turn off the switch. The current limit comparator will also turn off the switch in case the
current limit of the high-side MOSFET switch is exceeded. After a dead time preventing shoot through current,
the low-side MOSFET rectifier is turned on and the inductor current ramps down. The current flows now from the
inductor to the output capacitor and to the load. It returns back to the inductor through the low-side MOSFET
rectifier.
The next cycle will be initiated by the clock signal again turning off the low-side MOSFET rectifier and turning on
the high-side MOSFET switch.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Mode Selection
The MODE pin allows mode selection between forced PWM mode and power save mode.
Connecting this pin to GND enables the power save mode with automatic transition between PWM and PFM
mode. Pulling the MODE pin high forces the converter to operate in fixed frequency PWM mode even at light
load currents. This allows simple filtering of the switching frequency for noise sensitive applications. In this mode,
the efficiency is lower compared to the power save mode during light loads.
The condition of the MODE pin can be changed during operation and allows efficient power management by
adjusting the operation mode of the converter to the specific system requirements.
8.3.2 Enable
The device is enabled by setting EN pin to high. At first, the internal reference is activated and the internal
analog circuits are settled. Afterwards, the soft start is activated and the output voltage is ramped up. The output
voltages reaches 95% of its nominal value within tSTART of typically 500 µs after the device has been enabled.
The EN input can be used to control power sequencing in a system with various DC-DC converters. The EN pin
can be connected to the output of another converter, to drive the EN pin high and getting a sequencing of supply
rails. With EN = GND, the device enters shutdown mode. In this mode, all circuits are disabled and the SW pin is
connected to PGND through an internal resistor to discharge the output.
8.3.3 Clock Dithering
To reduce the noise level of switch frequency harmonics in the higher RF bands, the TPS6206x family has a
built-in clock-dithering circuit. The oscillator frequency is slightly modulated with a sub clock causing a clock
dither of typically 6 ns.
8.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the device from malfunctioning at low input voltages and from
excessive discharge of the battery. It disables the output stage of the converter once the falling VIN trips the
undervoltage lockout threshold VUVLO. The undervoltage lockout threshold VUVLO for falling VIN is typically 1.78 V.
The device starts operation once the rising VIN trips undervoltage lockout threshold VUVLO again at typically 1.95
V.
8.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
As soon as the junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 150°C (typical) the device goes into thermal shutdown. In this
mode, the high-side and low-side MOSFETs are turned off. The device continues its operation when the junction
temperature falls below the thermal shutdown hysteresis.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Soft Start
The TPS6206x has an internal soft start circuit that controls the ramp up of the output voltage. Once the
converter is enabled and the input voltage is above the undervoltage lockout threshold VUVLO the output voltage
ramps up from 5% to 95% of its nominal value within tRamp of typically 250 µs.
This limits the inrush current in the converter during start-up and prevents possible input voltage drops when a
battery or high impedance power source is used.
During soft start, the switch current limit is reduced to 1/3 of its nominal value ILIMF until the output voltage
reaches 1/3 of its nominal value. Once the output voltage trips this threshold, the device operates with its
nominal current limit ILIMF.

SLVSA95B – MARCH 2010 – REVISED JULY 2015
Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.2 Power Save Mode
In TPS6206x pulling the MODE pin low enables power save mode. If the load current decreases, the converter
enters power save mode operation automatically. During power save mode the converter skips switching and
operates with reduced frequency in PFM mode with a minimum quiescent current to maintain high efficiency. The
converter positions the output voltage typically 1% above the nominal output voltage. This voltage positioning
feature minimizes voltage drops caused by a sudden load step.
The transition from PWM mode to PFM mode occurs once the inductor current in the low-side MOSFET switch
becomes zero, which indicates discontinuous conduction mode.
During the power save mode the output voltage is monitored with a PFM comparator. As the output voltage falls
below the PFM comparator threshold of VOUTnominal +1%, the device starts a PFM current pulse. For this the highside MOSFET switch will turn on and the inductor current ramps up. After the on-time expires the switch will be
turned off and the low-side MOSFET switch will be turned on until the inductor current becomes zero.
The converter effectively delivers a current to the output capacitor and the load. If the load is below the delivered
current the output voltage will rise. If the output voltage is equal or higher than the PFM comparator threshold,
the device stops switching and enters a sleep mode with typically 18 µA current consumption.
In case the output voltage is still below the PFM comparator threshold, further PFM current pulses will be
generated until the PFM comparator threshold is reached. The converter starts switching again once the output
voltage drops below the PFM comparator threshold due to the load current.
The PFM mode is exited and PWM mode entered in case the output current can no longer be supported in PFM
mode.
8.4.3 Dynamic Voltage Positioning
This feature reduces the voltage undershoots and overshoots at load steps from light to heavy load and vice
versa. It is active in power save mode and regulates the output voltage 1% higher than the nominal value. This
provides more headroom for both the voltage drop at a load step, and the voltage increase at a load throw-off.

The device starts to enter 100% duty cycle mode as the input voltage comes close to the nominal output voltage.
To maintain the output voltage, the high-side MOSFET switch is turned on 100% for one or more cycles.
With further decreasing VIN the high-side MOSFET switch is turned on completely. In this case the converter
offers a low input-to-output voltage difference. This is particularly useful in battery-powered applications to
achieve longest operation time by taking full advantage of the whole battery voltage range.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
The minimum input voltage to maintain regulation depends on the load current and output voltage, and can be
calculated as:
VINmin = VOmax + IOmax × (RDS(on)max + RL)
where
•
•
•
•
IOmax = maximum output current
RDS(on)max = maximum P-channel switch RDS(on)
RL = DC resistance of the inductor
VOmax = nominal output voltage plus maximum output voltage tolerance

8.4.5 Internal Current Limit and Fold-Back Current Limit for Short Circuit Protection
During normal operation the high-side and low-side MOSFET switches are protected by its current limits ILIMF.
Once the high-side MOSFET switch reaches its current limit, it is turned off and the low-side MOSFET switch is
turned on. The high-side MOSFET switch can only turn on again, once the current in the low-side MOSFET
switch decreases below its current limit ILIMF. The device is capable to provide peak inductor currents up to its
internal current limit ILIMF..
As soon as the switch current limits are hit and the output voltage falls below 1/3 of the nominal output voltage
due to overload or short circuit condition, the foldback current limit is enabled. In this case the switch current limit
is reduced to 1/3 of the nominal value ILIMF.
Due to the short circuit protection is enabled during start-up, the device does not deliver more than 1/3 of its
nominal current limit ILIMF until the output voltage exceeds 1/3 of the nominal output voltage. This needs to be
considered when a load is connected to the output of the converter, which acts as a current sink.
8.4.6 Output Capacitor Discharge
With EN = GND, the devices enter shutdown mode and all internal circuits are disabled. The SW pin is
connected to PGND through an internal resistor to discharge the output capacitor.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The TPS62060, TPS62061 and TPS62063 are highly efficient synchronous step down DC-DC converters

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The device operates over an input voltage range from 2.7 V to 6 V. The output voltage is adjustable using an
external feedback divider.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Output Voltage Setting
The output voltage can be calculated to:
æ
R ö
VOUT = VREF ´ ç 1 + 1 ÷
è R2 ø
(2)
with an internal reference voltage VREF typically 0.6 V.
To minimize the current through the feedback divider network, R2 should be within the range of 120 kΩ to 360
kΩ. The sum of R1 and R2 should not exceed ~1 MΩ, to keep the network robust against noise. An external feedforward capacitor Cff is required for optimum regulation performance. Lower resistor values can be used. R1 and
Cff places a zero in the loop. The right value for Cff can be calculated as:
1
fz =
= 25 kHz
2 ´ p ´ R1 ´ C ff
(3)
Therefore, the feed forward capacitor can be calculated to:
1
C ff =
2 ´ p ´ R1 ´ 25 kHz

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.2.2 Output Filter Design (Inductor and Output Capacitor)
The internal compensation network of TPS6206x is optimized for a LC output filter with a corner frequency of:
fc =
1
2 ´ p ´ (1μH ´ 10μF)
= 50kHz
(5)
The device operates with nominal inductors of 1 µH to 1.2 µH and with 10 µF to 22 µF small X5R and X7R
ceramic capacitors. Refer to the lists of inductors and capacitors. The device is optimized for a 1 µH inductor and
10 µF output capacitor.
9.2.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
The inductor value has a direct effect on the ripple current. The selected inductor must be rated for its DC
resistance and saturation current. The inductor ripple current (ΔIL) decreases with higher inductance and
increases with higher VIN or VOUT.
Equation 6 calculates the maximum inductor current in PWM mode under static load conditions. The saturation
current of the inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 7.
This is recommended because during heavy load transient the inductor current rises above the calculated value.

f = Switching frequency (3 MHz typical)
L = Inductor value
ΔIL = Peak-to-peak inductor ripple current
ILmax = Maximum inductor current
Ioutmax = Maximum output current
(7)
A more conservative approach is to select the inductor current rating just for the switch current of the converter.
Accepting larger values of ripple current allows the use of lower inductance values, but results in higher output
voltage ripple, greater core losses, and lower output current capability.
The total losses of the coil have a strong impact on the efficiency of the DC-DC conversion and consist of both
the losses in the DC resistance R(DC) and the following frequency-dependent components:
• 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)
• Radiation losses

9.2.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
The advanced fast-response voltage mode control scheme of the TPS6206x allows the use of tiny ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest output voltage ripple and are
recommended. The output capacitor requires either an X7R or X5R dielectric. Y5V and Z5U dielectric capacitors,
aside from their wide variation in capacitance over temperature, become resistive at high frequencies and may
not be used. For most applications a nominal 10 µF or 22 µF capacitor is suitable. At small ceramic capacitors,
the DC-bias effect decreases the effective capacitance. Therefore a 22 µF capacitor can be used for output
voltages higher than 2 V, see list of capacitors.
In case additional ceramic capacitors in the supplied system are connected to the output of the DC-DC converter,
the output capacitor COUT must be decreased in order not to exceed the recommended effective capacitance
range. In this case a loop stability analysis must be performed as described later.
At nominal load current, the device operates in PWM mode and the RMS ripple current is calculated as:
V

IRMSCout = Vout ´
´
L´ƒ
2´ 3
(8)
9.2.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
Because of the nature of the buck converter having a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is
required for best input voltage filtering and minimizing the interference with other circuits caused by high input
voltage spikes. For most applications a 10 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended. The input capacitor can be
increased without any limit for better input voltage filtering.
Take care when using only small 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 or VIN step on
the input 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 by exceeding the maximum ratings.

9.2.2.3 Checking Loop Stability
The first step of circuit and stability evaluation is to look from a steady-state perspective at the following signals
• Switching node, SW
• Inductor current, IL
• Output ripple voltage, VOUT(AC)
These are the basic signals that must be measured when evaluating a switching converter. When the switching
waveform shows large duty cycle jitter or the output voltage or inductor current shows oscillations, the regulation
loop may be unstable. This is often a result of board layout and/or wrong L-C output filter combinations. As a
next step in the evaluation of the regulation loop, the load transient response is tested. The time between the
application of the load transient and the turnon of the P-channel MOSFET, the output capacitor must supply all of
the current required by the load. VOUT immediately shifts by an amount equal to ΔI(LOAD) x ESR, where ESR is the
effective series resistance of COUT. ΔI(LOAD) begins to charge or discharge COUT generating a feedback error
signal used by the regulator to return VOUT to its steady-state value. The results are most easily interpreted when
the device operates in PWM mode at medium to high load currents.
During this recovery time, VOUT can be monitored for settling time, overshoot, or ringing; that helps evaluate
stability of the converter. Without any ringing, the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The power supply to the TPS6206x must have a current rating according to the supply voltage, output voltage,
and output current of the TPS6206x.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. Proper function of the device
demands careful attention to PCB layout. Take care in board layout to get the specified performance. If the
layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show poor line and/or load regulation, stability issues as well as
EMI and thermal problems. It is critical to provide a low inductance, impedance ground path. Therefore, use wide
and short traces for the main current paths. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC
pins as well as the inductor and output capacitor.
Connect the AGND and PGND pins of the device to the PowerPAD™ land of the PCB and use this pad as a star
point. Use a common power PGND node and a different node for the signal AGND to minimize the effects of
ground noise. The FB divider network should be connected right to the output capacitor and the FB line must be
routed away from noisy components and traces (for example, SW line).
Due to the small package of this converter and the overall small solution size the thermal performance of the
PCB layout is important. To get a good thermal performance a four or more Layer PCB design is recommended.
The PowerPAD™ of the IC must be soldered on the power pad area on the PCB to get a proper thermal
connection. For good thermal performance the PowerPAD™ on the PCB needs to be connected to an inner GND
plane with sufficient via connections. Refer to the documentation of the evaluation kit.
