DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TPS62110 is a low-noise synchronous step-down dc-dc converter that is ideally suited for systems powered
from a 2-cell Li-ion battery or from a 12-V or 15-V rail.
The TPS62110 is a synchronous PWM converter with integrated N-channel and P-channel power MOSFET
switches. Synchronous rectification is used to increase efficiency and to reduce external component count. To
achieve highest efficiency over a wide load current range, the converter enters a power-saving, pulse-frequency
modulation (PFM) mode at light load currents. Operating frequency is typically 1 MHz, allowing the use of small
inductor and capacitor values. The device can be synchronized to an external clock signal in the range of 0.8
MHz to 1.4 MHz. For low noise operation, the converter can be operated in PWM-only mode. In the shutdown
mode, the current consumption is reduced to less than 2 µA. The TPS62110 is available in the 16-pin (RSA)
QFN package and operates over a free-air temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The TPS62110 is a synchronous step-down converter that operates with a 1-MHz fixed frequency pulse width
modulation (PWM) at moderate-to-heavy load currents and enters the power save mode at light load current.
During PWM operation, the converter uses a unique fast response voltage mode control scheme with input
voltage feed-forward. Good line and load regulation is achieved with the use of small input and output ceramic
capacitors. At the beginning of each clock cycle initiated by the clock signal (S), the P-channel MOSFET switch
is turned on, and the inductor current ramps up until the comparator trips and the control logic turns the switch
off. The switch is turned off by the current limit comparator if the current limit of the P-channel switch is
exceeded. After the dead time prevents current shoot through, the N-channel MOSFET rectifier is turned on, and
the inductor current ramps down. The next cycle is initiated by the clock signal turning off the N-channel rectifier,
and turning on the P-channel switch.
The error amplifier as well as the input voltage determines the rise time of the sawtooth generator. Therefore,
any change in input voltage or output voltage directly controls the duty cycle of the converter giving a very good
line and load transient regulation.
CONSTANT FREQUENCY MODE OPERATION (SYNC = HIGH)
In constant frequency mode, the output voltage is regulated by varying the duty cycle of the PWM signal in the
range of 100% to 10%. Connecting the SYNC pin to a voltage greater than 1.5 V forces the converter to operate
permanently in the PWM mode even at light or no-load currents. The advantage is that the converter operates
with a fixed switching frequency that 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 NMOSFET of the devices stay on even when the current into the output drops to zero. This prevents the device
from going into discontinuous mode, and the device transfers unused energy back to the input. Therefore, there
is no ringing at the output, which usually occurs in discontinuous mode. The duty cycle range in constant
frequency mode is 100% to 10%.
It is possible to switch from forced PWM mode to the power save mode during operation by pulling the SYNC pin
LOW. The flexible configuration of the SYNC pin during operation of the device allows efficient power
management by adjusting the operation of the TPS62110 to the specific system requirements.
POWER SAVE MODE OPERATION (SYNC = LOW)
As the load current decreases, the converter enters the power save mode operation. During power save mode,
the converter operates with reduced switching frequency in pulse frequency modulation (PFM), and with a
minimum quiescent current to maintain high efficiency. Whenever the average output current goes below the skip
threshold, the converter enters the power save mode. The average current depends on the input voltage. It is
about 200 mA at low input voltages and up to 400 mA with maximum input voltage. The average output current
must be below the threshold for at least 32 clock cycles to enter the power save mode. During the power save
mode, the output voltage is monitored with a comparator and the output voltage is regulated in to a typical value
between the nominal output voltage and 0.8% above the nominal output voltage. When the output voltage falls
below the nominal output voltage, the P-channel switch turns on. The P-channel switch is turned off as the peak
switch current is reached. The N-channel rectifier is turned on, and the inductor current ramps down. As the
inductor current approaches zero, the N-channel rectifier is turned off and the switch is turned on starting the
next pulse. When the output voltage can not be reached with a single pulse, the device continues to switch with
its normal operating frequency until the comparator detects the output voltage to be 0.8% above the nominal
output voltage. This control method reduces the quiescent current to 20 µA (typical), and reduces the switching
frequency to a minimum that achieves the highest converter efficiency.

The typical PFM (SKIP) current threshold for the TPS62110 is given by:
VI
I S K IP »
25 W
(1)
Equation 1 is valid for input voltages up to 7 V. For higher voltages, the skip current threshold is not increased
further. The converter enters the fixed frequency PWM mode as soon as the output voltage falls below VO –
1.6% (nominal).
SOFT START
The TPS62110 has an internal soft-start circuit that limits the inrush current during start-up. This prevents
possible voltage drops of the input voltage when a battery or a high-impedance power source is connected to the
input of the TPS62110.
The soft start is implemented as a digital circuit increasing the switch current in steps of 300 mA, 600 mA,
1200 mA. The typical switch current limit is 2.4 A. Therefore, the start-up time depends on the output capacitor
and load current. Typical start-up time with a 22 µF output capacitor and 800-mA load current is 1 ms.
100% DUTY CYCLE LOW DROPOUT OPERATION
The TPS62110 offers the lowest possible input to output voltage difference while still maintaining operation with
the use of the 100% duty cycle mode. In this mode, the P-channel switch is constantly turned on. This is
particularly useful in battery-powered applications to achieve the longest operation time, taking full advantage of
the whole battery voltage range. The minimum input voltage to maintain regulation depends on the load current
and output voltage, and is calculated as:
(
V I min = VO max + I O max × rDS ( on ) max + R( L )
)
(2)
with:
IOmax = maximum output current plus inductor ripple current
rDS(on)max = maximum P-channel switch rDS(on)
R(L) = dc resistance of the inductor
VOmax = nominal output voltage plus maximum output voltage tolerance

ENABLE
Logic low on EN forces the TPS62110 into shutdown. In shutdown, the power switch, drivers, voltage reference,
oscillator, and all other functions are turned off. The supply current is reduced to less than 2 µA in the shutdown
mode. When the device is in thermal shutdown, the bandgap is forced to be switched on even if the device is set
into shutdown by pulling EN to GND.
If an output voltage is present when the device is disabled, which could be due to an external voltage source or a
super capacitor, the reverse leakage current is specified under electrical characteristics. Pulling the enable pin
high starts up the TPS62110 with the soft start. If the EN pin is connected to any voltage other than VI or GND,
an increased leakage current of typically 10 µA and up to 20 µA can occur.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the device from misoperation at low-input voltages. It prevents the
converter from turning on the switch or rectifier MOSFET under undefined conditions. The minimum input voltage
to start up the TPS62110 is 3.4 V (worst case). The device shuts down at 2.8 V minimum.
SYNCHRONIZATION
If no clock signal is applied, the converter operates with a typical switching frequency of 1 MHz. It is possible to
synchronize the converter to an external clock within a frequency range from 0.8 MHz to 1.4 MHz. The device
automatically detects the rising edge of the first clock and synchronizes immediately to the external clock. If the
clock signal is stopped, the converter automatically switches back to the internal clock and continues operation.
The switch over is initiated if no rising edge on the SYNC pin is detected for a duration of four clock cycles.
Therefore, the maximum delay time can be 6.25 µs if the internal clock has its minimum frequency of 800 kHz.
If the device is synchronized to an external clock, the power save mode is disabled, and the devices stay in
forced PWM mode.
Connecting the SYNC pin to the GND pin enables the power save mode. The converter operates in the PWM
mode at moderate-to-heavy loads, and in the PFM mode during light loads, which maintains high efficiency over
a wide load current range.
POWER GOOD COMPARATOR
The power good (PG) comparator has an open-drain output capable of sinking 1 mA (typical). The PG is active
only when the device is enabled (EN = high). When the device is disabled (EN = low), the PG pin is pulled to
GND.
The PG output is valid only after a 250-µs delay when the device is enabled, and the supply voltage is greater
than the undervoltage lockout V(UVLO). PG is low during the first 250 µs after shutdown and in shutdown.
The PG pin becomes active high when the output voltage exceeds 98.4% (typical) of its nominal value. Leave
the PG pin unconnected when not used.
LOW-BATTERY DETECTOR
The low-battery output (LBO) is an open-drain type which goes low when the voltage at the low-battery input
(LBI) falls below the trip point of 1.256 V ±1.5%. The voltage at which the low-battery warning is issued can be
adjusted with a resistive divider as shown in Figure 9. The sum of resistors (R1 + R2) as well as the sum of (R5
+ R6) is recommended to be in the 100 kΩ to 1 MΩ range for high efficiency at low output current. An external
pullup resistor can be connected to OUT, or any other voltage rail in the voltage range of 0 V to 16 V. During
start-up, the LBO output signal is invalid for the first 500 µs. LBO is high impedance when the device is disabled.
If the low-battery comparator function is not used, connect LBI to ground. The low-battery detector is disabled
when the device is disabled.
The logic level of the LBO pin is not defined for the first 500 µs after EN is pulled high.
When the LBI is used to supervise the battery voltage and shut down the TPS62111 at low-input voltages, the
battery voltage rises when the current drops to zero. The implemented hysteresis on the LBI pin may not be
sufficient for all types of batteries. Figure 9 shows how an additional external hysteresis can be implemented.

NO LOAD OPERATION
When the converter operates in the forced PWM mode and there is no load connected to the output, the
converter regulates the output voltage by allowing the inductor current to reverse for a short time.

Inductor Selection
The control loop of the TPS62110 requires a certain value for the output inductor and the output capacitor for
stable operation. As long as the nominal value of L × C ≥ 6.2 µH × 22 µF, the control loop has enough phase
margin and the device is stable. Reducing the inductor value without increasing the output capacitor (or vice
versa) may cause stability problems. There are applications where it may be useful to increase the value of the
output capacitor, e.g., for a low transient output voltage change. From a stability point of view, the inductor value
could be decreased to keep the L × C product constant. However, there are drawbacks if the inductor value is
decreased. A low inductor value causes a high inductor ripple current and therefore reduces the maximum dc
output current. Table 2 gives the advantages and disadvantages when designing the inductor and output
capacitor.

High inductor current ripple
especially at high input voltage
and low output voltage
As it is shown in Table 2, the inductor value can be increased to higher values. For good performance, the peakto-peak inductor current ripple should be less than 30% of the maximum dc output current. Especially at input
voltages above 12 V, it makes sense to increase the inductor value to keep the inductor current ripple low. In
such applications, the inductor value can be increased to 10 µH or 22 µH. Values above 22 µH should be
avoided to keep the voltage overshoot during load transient in an acceptable range.
After choosing the inductor value, two additional inductor parameters should be considered:
1. current rating of the inductor
2. dc resistance
The dc resistance of the inductance directly influences the efficiency of the converter. Therefore, an inductor with
lowest dc resistance should be selected for highest efficiency. To avoid saturation of the inductor, the inductor
should be rated at least for the maximum output current plus the inductor ripple current which is calculated as:

Where:
f = Switching frequency (1000 kHz typical)
L = Inductor value
ΔIL = Peak-to-peak inductor ripple current
IL(max) = Maximum inductor current
The highest inductor current occurs at maximum VI. A more conservative approach is to select the inductor
current rating just for the maximum switch current of the TPS62110, which is 2.4 A (typically). See Table 1 for
recommended inductors.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
A 22 µF (typical) output capacitor is needed with a 6.8 µH inductor. For an output voltage greater than 5 V, a 33
µF (minimum) output capacitor is required for stability. For best performance, a low ESR ceramic output
capacitor is needed.

INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The nature of the buck converter is a pulsating input current; therefore, 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. The input capacitor should have a minimum value of 10 µF and can be increased without any limit for
better input voltage filtering. The input capacitor should be rated for the maximum input ripple current calculated
as:

The worst-case RMS ripple current occurs at D = 0.5 and is calculated as: IRMS = IO/2. Ceramic capacitors show
a good performance because of their low ESR value, and they are less sensitive against voltage transients
compared to tantalum capacitors. Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the input pin of the IC for best
performance
FEEDFORWARD CAPACITOR SELECTION
The feedforward capacitor (Cff) is needed to compensate for parasitic capacitance from the feedback pin to GND.
Typically, a value of 4.7 pF to 22 pF is needed for an output voltage divider with a equivalent resistance (R1 in
parallel with R2) in the 150 kΩ range. The value can be chosen based on best transient performance and lowest
output voltage ripple in PFM mode.
RECOMMENDED CAPACITORS
It is recommended that only X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors be used as input/output capacitors. Ceramic
capacitors show a dc-bias effect. This effect reduces the effective capacitance when a dc-bias voltage is applied
across a ceramic capacitor, as on the output and input capacitor of a dc/dc converter. The effect may lead to a
significant capacitance drop especially for high input/output voltages and small capacitor packages. See the
manufacturer's data sheet about the performance with a dc bias voltage applied. It may be necessary to choose
a higher voltage rating or nominal capacitance value to get the required value at the operating point. The
capacitors listed in Table 3 have been tested with the TPS62110 with good performance.
