With a wide operating input voltage range of 4 V to
15 V, the device is ideally suited for systems powered
from multi-cell Li-Ion batteries or 12-V rails. The
output current of 6 A is continuously provided by two
phases of 3 A each, allowing the use of low profile
external components. The phases operate out of
phase, reducing switching noise significantly.
The TPS6218x automatically enters Power Save
Mode to maintain high efficiency down to very light
loads. It also incorporates an Automatic Efficiency
Enhancement (AEE™) for the entire duty cycle range.
The device features a Power Good signal, as well as
an adjustable soft start. The quiescent current is
typically 28 µA, it is able to run in 100% mode, and it
has no duty cycle limitation even at lowest output
voltage.
The TPS6218x, available in adjustable and fixed
output voltage options, is packaged in a small 24bump, 0.5 mm pitch DSBGA package.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS6218x is a high efficiency synchronous switched mode step-down converter based on a peak current
control topology. It is designed for smallest solution size low-profile applications, converting multi-cell Li-Ion
supply voltages to output voltages of 0.9 V to 6 V. While an outer voltage loop sets the regulation threshold for
the current loop based on the actual VOUT level, the inner current loop adapts the peak inductor current for every
switching cycle. The regulation network is internally compensated. The switching frequency is set by an OFFtime control and features Power Save Mode (PSM) and AEE™ (Automatic Efficiency Enhancement) to keep the
efficiency high over the whole load current and duty cycle range. The switching frequency is set depending on
VIN and VOUT and remains unchanged for steady state operating conditions.
The TPS6218x is a dual phase converter, sharing the load current among the phases. Identical in construction,
the follower control loop is connected with a fixed delay to the master control loop. Both the phases use the
same regulation threshold and cycle-by-cycle peak current setpoint. This ensures a phase-shifted as well as
current-balanced operation. Using the advantages of the dual phase topology, a 6-A continuous output current is
provided with high performance and smallest system solution size.
While the TPS62180 offers an adjustable output voltage, the TPS62182 supports a fixed 3.3-V output voltage,
saving external components.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Enable / Shutdown (EN)
The device starts operation, when VIN is present and Enable (EN) is set High. The EN threshold is 1 V for rising
and 0.9 V for falling voltages, providing a threshold accuracy of ±3%. That makes it suitable for precise switching
on and off in accurate power sequencing arrangements as well as for slowly rising EN control voltage signals
(see Using the Accurate EN Threshold for more details).
The device is disabled by pulling EN Low. A discharge resistor of about 60 Ω is then connected to the output. At
the EN pin, an internal pull down resistor of about 350 kΩ keeps the Low state, if EN gets high impedance or
floating afterwards.
The EN pin can be connected to VIN to always enable the device. A delay of 1 ms, after VIN exceeds VUVLO,
ensures safe operating conditions before the device starts switching. If VIN is already present, a soft start
sequence is initiated about 100 µs after EN is pulled High.
8.3.2 Soft Start / Tracking (SS/TR)
The soft start circuit controls the output voltage slope during startup. This avoids excessive inrush current and
ensures a controlled output voltage rise time. It also prevents unwanted voltage drop from high impedance power
sources or batteries. When EN is set to start device operation, the device starts switching and VOUT rises with a
slope, controlled by the external capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin. There is no theoretical limit for the
longest startup time. It is not recommended to leave the SS/TR pin floating, because VOUT may overshoot.
Typical startup operation is shown in Application Performance Curves.

Feature Description (continued)
The device can track an external voltage (see Tracking). The device can monotonically start into a pre-biased
output.
8.3.3 Power Good (PG)
The TPS6218x has a built in power good (PG) function. The PG pin goes High, when the output voltage has
reached its nominal value. Otherwise, including when disabled, in UVLO or in thermal shutdown, PG is Low. The
PG pin is an open drain output that requires a pull-up resistor and can sink typically 2 mA. If not used, the PG pin
can be left floating or grounded.

8.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents misoperation of the device, if the input voltage drops below the UVLO
threshold. It is set to 3.6 V typically with a hysteresis of typically 300mV. (See also Device Functional Modes).
8.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
The junction temperature TJ of the device is monitored by an internal temperature sensor. If TJ exceeds 160°C
(typ.), the device goes in thermal shutdown with a hysteresis of typically 20°C. Both the power FETs are turned
off, the discharge resistor is connected to the output and the PG pin goes Low. Once TJ has decreased enough,
the device resumes normal operation with Soft Start.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Operation
The TPS6218x is based on a predictive OFF-time peak current control topology, operating with PWM in
continuous conduction mode for heavier loads. Since the OFF-time is automatically adjusted according to the
actual VIN and VOUT, it provides highest efficiency over the entire input and output voltage range. The OFF-time is
calculated as:
spacing
é V
ù
tOFF = ê IN 500ns ú + 50ns
ë 5VOUT
û
(1)
spacing
While the OFF-time is predicted, the ON-time is set depending on the converter's duty cycle and calculated as:
spacing
t ON =
t OFF × VOUT
V IN - VOUT

spacing
Both the master and follower phases regulate to the same level of VOUT with separate current loops, using the
same peak current setpoint, cycle by cycle. This provides excellent peak current balancing, independent of
inductor dc resistance matching. Since the follower phase operates with a fixed delay to the master phase, also
cycle by cycle, phase shifted operation is obtained.
The device features an automatic transition into Power Save Mode, entered at light loads, running in
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM).
8.4.2 Power Save Mode (PSM) Operation
As the load current decreases, the converter enters Power Save Mode operation. During PSM, the converter
operates with a reduced switching frequency maintaining highest efficiency due to minimum quiescent current.
Power Save Mode is based on a fixed peak current architecture, where the peak current (IPEAK) is set depending
on VIN, VOUT, and L. After each single pulse, a pause time until the internal VOUT_Low level threshold is reached
completes the switching cycle in PSM.
The switching frequency for PSM in one phase operation is calculated as :
spacing
f PSM =
2 I OUT × VOUT (VIN - VOUT )
2
L × I PEAK
× VIN
(4)
spacing
Equation 4 shows the linear relationship of output current and switching frequency. Typical values of the fixed
peak current are shown in Figure 7.
space

If the load decreases to very light loads and only one phase is needed, either phase (master or follower) might
be active. The load current level at which Power Save Mode is entered is calculated as follows:

Equation 7 is used to calculate ΔIL.
8.4.3 Minimum Duty Cycle and 100% Mode Operation
When the input voltage comes close to the output voltage, the device enters 100% mode and both high-side
FETs are continuously switched on as long as VOUT remains below its setpoint. The minimum VIN to maintain
output voltage regulation is calculated as:
spacing
éR
ù
VIN (min) = VOUT (min) + I OUT ê DS (ON ) + DCRL1 // DCRL 2 ú
ë 2
û
(6)
spacing
This allows the conversion of small input to output voltage differences, for example for the longest operation time
in battery powered applications. In 100% duty cycle mode, the low-side FET is switched off.
While the maximum ON-time is not limited, the AEE feature, explained in the next section, secures a minimum
ON-time of about 100 ns.
8.4.4 Automatic Efficiency Enhancement (AEE™)
AEE™ provides highest efficiency over the entire input voltage and output voltage range by automatically
adjusting the converter's switching frequency. This is achieved by setting the predictive off-time of the converter.
The efficiency of a switched mode converter is determined by the power losses during the conversion. The
efficiency decreases, if VOUT decreases and/or VIN increases. In order to keep the efficiency high over the entire
duty cycle range (VOUT/VIN ratio), the switching frequency is adjusted while maintaining the ripple current. The
following equation shows the relation between the inductor ripple current, switching frequency and duty cycle.

Efficiency increases by decreasing switching losses, preserving high efficiency for varying duty cycles, while the
ripple current amplitude remains low enough to deliver the full output current without reaching current limit. The
AEE™ feature provides an efficiency enhancement for various duty cycles, especially for lower Vout values,
where fixed frequency converters suffer from a significant efficiency drop. Furthermore, this feature compensates
for the very small duty cycles of high VIN to low VOUT conversion, which limits the control range in other
topologies.
Figure 8 shows the typical switching frequency over the input voltage range.

8.4.5 Phase-Shifted Operation
While, for a buck converter, the input current source provides the average current that is needed to support the
output current, an input capacitance is needed to support pulse currents. One of the natural benefits of a two- (or
multi-) phase converter is the possibility to operate out of phase, which decreases the pulse currents and
switching noise. In PWM mode, the TPS6218x devices run with a fixed delay of typically 250 ns between the
phases. This ensures that the phases run phase-delayed, limiting input RMS current and corresponding noise. If
in PSM, both phases run, the phase delay is about 100 ns.
8.4.6 Current Limit, Current Balancing, and Short Circuit Protection
Each phase has a separate integrated peak current limit. While its minimum value limits the output current of the
phase, the maximum number gives the current that must be considered to flow in any operating case. If the
current limit of a phase is reached, the peak current setpoint is unable to increase further. The device provides its
maximum output current. Detecting this heavy load or short circuit condition for about 0.9 ms, the device
switches off for about 5 ms and then restarts again with a soft start cycle. As long as the overload condition is
present, the device hiccups that way, limiting the output power.
The two phases are peak current balanced with a variation within about ±10% at 6-A output current (see
Figure 9). Since the control topology does not depend on inductor or output current measurements, the current
balancing accuracy is independent of inductor matching (binning) and does not need matched power routing.

8.4.7 Tracking
VOUT can track a voltage that is applied at the SS/TR pin. The tracking range at the SS/TR pin is 50 mV to 1.2 V
and the FB pin voltage tracks this as given in Equation 8:
spacing
VFB » 0.64 × VSS / TR
(8)
spacing
Due to the factor of about 0.64, the minimum output voltage for tracking is 1.25 V. Once the SS/TR pin voltage
reaches about 1.2 V, the internal voltage is clamped to the internal feedback voltage and the device goes to
normal regulation. This works for falling tracking voltage as well. If, in this case, the SS/TR voltage decreases,
the device does not sink current from the output. Thus, the resulting decrease of the output voltage may be
slower than the SS/TR pin voltage if the load is light. When driving the SS/TR pin with an external voltage, do not
exceed the voltage rating of the SS/TR pin which is VIN+0.3 V.
Note: If the voltage at the FB pin is below its typical value of 0.8 V, the output voltage accuracy may have a
wider tolerance than specified.
8.4.8 Operation with Fixed VOUT
The TPS62182 provides a fixed output voltage of 3.3 V (±1%). In this case, the feedback divider is integrated
and the FB pin is internally connected to GND with a resistor of about 350 kΩ. It is recommended to connect the
FB pin to PCB ground to improve thermal behavior.

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 TPS62180/2 are switched mode step-down converters, able to convert a 4-V to 15-V input voltage into a
lower 0.9-V to 6-V output voltage, providing up to 6 A. It needs a minimum amount of external components. Apart
from the LC output filter and the input capacitors only an optional pull-up resistor for Power Good (PG) and a
small capacitor for adjustable soft start are used. The TPS62180 with an adjustable output voltage needs an
additional resistive divider to set the output voltage level.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Custom Design With WEBENCH® Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the TPS62180 device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
1. Start by entering the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and output current (IOUT) requirements.
2. Optimize the design for key parameters such as efficiency, footprint, and cost using the optimizer dial.
3. Compare the generated design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
The WEBENCH Power Designer provides a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real-time
pricing and component availability.
In most cases, these actions are available:
• Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance
• Run thermal simulations to understand board thermal performance
• Export customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats
• Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
9.2.1.2.2 Programming the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the TPS62180 is programmed using an external resistive divider. While the voltage at the
FB pin is regulated to 0.8 V, the output voltage range is specified from 0.9 up to 6 V. The value of the output
voltage is set by selection of the resistive divider (from VOUT to FB to AGND) from Equation 9.

spacing
The current through those resistors contributes to the light load efficiency, which makes larger resistor values
beneficial. However, to get sufficient noise immunity these values should not be oversized. Using this, the
resistor values are calculated by converting Equation 9 as follows:

Inserting the R2 value in Equation 11, R1 can be obtained.

R1 = R2 × çç OUT - 1÷÷

(11)
spacing
Calculating for VOUT = 3.3 V gives R1 = 500 kΩ. Using standard resistor values R1 = 470 kΩ and R2 = 150 kΩ are
chosen.
For applications requiring lowest current consumption, the use of fixed output voltage options is recommended.
Using the TPS62182, the FB pin can be left floating, but it is recommended to connect it to AGND which
decreases thermal resistance.
In case the FB pin of the adjustable output voltage version gets opened or an over voltage appears at the output,
an internal clamp limits the output voltage to about 7.4 V.

9.2.1.2.3 Output Filter Selection
Since the TPS6218x is compensated internally, it is optimized for a range of external component values, which is
specified below. Table 3 and Table 4 are used to simplify the output filter component selection. Checked cells
represent combinations that are proven for stability by simulation and lab test. Further combinations should be
checked for each individual application.

For the output capacitors, a voltage rating of 6.3 V and an X5R dielectric are chosen. If space allows for higher
voltage rated capacitors in larger case sizes, the dc bias effect is lowered and the effective capacitance value
increases.
9.2.1.2.4 Inductor Selection
The TPS6218x is designed to work with two inductors of 1 µH nominal. They have to be selected for adequate
saturation current and a low dc resistance (DCR). The minimum inductor current rating IL(min) that is needed
under static load conditions is calculated using Equation 12 and Equation 13. A current imbalance of 10% at
most is incorporated.

This calculation gives the minimum saturation current of the inductor needed and an additional margin of about

inductor size and the power losses have to be traded off. Smallest solution size (for example with chip inductors)
are less efficient than bigger inductors with lower losses due to lower DCR and/or core losses. The following
inductors have been tested with the TPS6218x:

9.2.1.2.5 Output Capacitor Selection
The TPS6218x provides a wide output voltage range of 0.9 V to 6 V. While stability is a critical criteria for the
output filter selection, the output capacitor value also determines transient response behavior, ripple and
accuracy of VOUT. Table 6 gives recommendations to achieve various transient design targets using 1-µH

Ceramic capacitors have a dc bias effect where the effective capacitance differs significantly from the nominal value, depending on
package size, voltage rating and dielectric material.
For output voltages < 1.8V an additional feedforward capacitor of 82pF, parallel to R1 is recommended to increase stability margin at
heavy load steps.
The transient load step is tested with 1-µs/step rising/falling slopes.
spacing
The architecture of the TPS6218x allows the use of tiny ceramic output capacitors with low equivalent series
resistance (ESR). These capacitors provide low output voltage ripple and are recommended. To keep its low
resistance up to high frequencies and to get narrow capacitance variation with temperature, it is recommended to
use X7R or X5R dielectrics. Using even higher values than demanded for stability and transient response has
further advantages like smaller voltage ripple and tighter dc output accuracy in Power Save Mode.

9.2.1.2.6 Input Capacitor Selection
The input current of a buck converter is pulsating. Therefore, a low ESR input capacitor is required to prevent
large voltage transients and provide peak currents. The recommended value for most applications is 2 x 22 µF,
split between the VIN1 and VIN2 inputs and placed as close as possible to these pins and PGND pins. If
additional capacitance is needed, it can be added as bulk capacitance. To ensure proper operation, the effective
capacitance at the VIN pins must not fall below 2 x 2 µF (close) + 10 µF bulk (effective capacitances).
Low ESR multilayer ceramic capacitors are recommended for best filtering. Increasing with input voltage, the dc
bias effect reduces the nominal capacitance value significantly. To decrease input ripple current further, larger
values of input capacitors can be used.
9.2.1.2.7 Soft Start Capacitor Selection
The TPS6218x provides a user programmable soft start time. A constant current source of 5 µA, internally
connected to the SS/TR pin, allows control of the startup slope by connecting a capacitor to this pin. The current
source charges the capacitor and the soft start time is given by:
spacing
CSS = t SS ×
5mA
1.25V
(14)
spacing
where CSS is the soft-start capacitance required at the SS/TR pin and tss is the resulting soft-start ramp time.
spacing
The SS/TR pin should not be left floating and a minimum capacitance of 220 pF is recommended. Using
Equation 14, and inserting tSS = 750 µs, a value of 3 nF is calculated. 3.3 nF is chosen as a standard value for
this example.

As opposed to the previous example, the solution size, including height, is limited and the soft start time is
longer. This is achieved by using smaller inductors, as well as using a different soft start capacitor.

Using Table 5, the 1-µH DFE252012P is chosen with dimensions of 2.5 x 2.0 x 1.2 mm. The larger DCR of 42

For a typical 8-V input rail, the device turn on target value is set to 5.5 V. The current through the resistive divider
is set to 10 µA, which indicates a total resistance of about 800 kΩ. Appropriate standard resistor values, fitting
Equation 15, are REN1 = 680 kΩ and REN2 = 150 kΩ. As a result, the device switches on, when VIN has reached
5.5 V and the current through the divider is 9.6 µA. The device switches off at a threshold of 0.9 V. Using
Equation 15 again, this case gives a level of VIN = 5.0 V.
Figure 47 to Figure 50 show thresholds and appropriate device behavior with a startup time of about 800 µs.

9.3.2 Design Requirements
Based on Figure 10, the schematics shown in Figure 51 through Figure 54 show different output voltage divider
values to get different VOUT. Another design target is to have about 5-µA current through the divider.
9.3.3 External Component Selection
The values for the voltage divider are derived using the procedure given in Programming the Output Voltage.
While Equation 10 and Equation 11 are used to calculate R2 and R1, the values are aligned with standard
resistor values.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS6218x are designed to operate from a 4-V to 15-V input voltage supply. The input power supply's output
current needs to be rated according to the output voltage and the output current of the power rail application.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The PCB layout of the TPS6218x demands careful attention to ensure proper operation, thermal profile, low
noise emission and to achieve best performance. A poor layout can lead to issues like poor regulation, stability
and accuracy weaknesses, increased EMI radiation and noise sensitivity. While the TPS6218x provides very high
power density, the PCB layout also contributes significantly to the thermal performance.
11.1.1 PCB Layout
A recommended PCB layout for the TPS62180 dual phase solution is shown below. It ensures best electrical and
optimized thermal performance considering the following important topics:
• The input capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the appropriate pins of the device. This provides
low resistive and inductive paths for the high di/dt input current. The input capacitance is split, as is the VIN
connection, to avoid interference between the input lines.
• The SW node connection from the IC to the inductor conducts high currents. It should be kept short and can
be designed in parallel with an internal or bottom layer plane, to provide low resistance and enhanced thermal
behavior.
• The VOUT regulation loop is closed with COUT and its ground connection. If a ground layer or plane is used, a
direct connection by vias, as shown, is recommended. Otherwise the connection of COUT to GND must be
short for good load regulation.
• The FB node is sensitive to dv/dt signals. Therefore the resistive divider should be placed close to the FB pin,
avoiding long trace distance. Using the TPS62182 (fixed output voltage version), the FB pin can be left
floating, but it is good practice and recommended to connect it to AGND for best thermal characteristics.
