The devices focus on a high output voltage accuracy.
The differential sensing and the DCS-Control™
architecture achieve precise static and dynamic,
transient output voltage regulation.
The TPS62366x device offers high efficiency step
down conversion. The area of highest efficiency is
extended towards low output currents to increase the
efficiency while the processor is operating in retention
mode, as well as towards highest output currents
increasing the battery on-time.
The 2mm x 2mm package and the low number of
required external components lead to a tiny solution
size of less than 25mm2.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute–maximum–rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltage values are with respect to network ground terminal.
In order to be consistent with the TI reliability requirement for the silicon chips (100K Power-On-Hours at 105°C junction temperature),
the current should not continuously exceed 2550mA in the VIN pins and 2550mA in the SW pins so as to prevent electromigration failure
in the solder. See THERMAL AND DEVICE LIFETIME INFORMATION.
The human body model is a 100-pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5-kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200-pF
capacitor discharged directly into each pin.

For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ψJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ψJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining θJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

Refer to the APPLICATION INFORMATION section for further information.
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature [TA(max)] is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature [TJ(max)], the
maximum power dissipation of the device in the application [PD(max)], and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part/package
in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA(max) = TJ(max) – (θJA × PD(max))

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TPS62366x are a family of high-frequency synchronous step down dc-dc converter optimized for batterypowered portable applications. With an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, common battery technologies are
supported.
The device provides up to 4A peak load current, operating at 2.5MHz typical switching frequency.
The devices convert to an output voltage range of 0.5V to 1.77V, programmable via I2C interface in 10mV steps.
The TPS62366x supports low-voltage DSPs and processor cores in smart-phones and handheld computers,
including latest submicron processes and their retention modes and addresses digital voltage scaling
technologies such as SmartReflex™.
Output Voltages and Modes can be fully programmed via I2C. To address different performance operating points
and/or startup conditions, the device offers two output voltage / mode presets which can be chosen via a
dedicated VSEL pin allowing simple and zero latency output voltage transition.
The devices focus on a high output voltage accuracy. The fully differential sensing and the DCS-Control™
architecture achieve precise static and dynamic, transient output voltage regulation. This accounts for stable
processor operation. Output voltage security margins can be kept small, resulting in an increased overall system
efficiency.
The TPS62366x devices offer high efficiency step down conversion. The area of highest efficiency is extended
towards low output currents to increase the efficiency while the processor is operating in retention mode, as well
as towards highest output currents reducing the power loss. This addresses the power profile of processors. High
efficiency conversion is required for low output currents to support the retention modes of processors, resulting in
an increased battery on-time. To address the processor maximum performance operating points with highest
output currents, high efficiency conversion is enabled as well to save the battery on-time and reduce input power.
The robust architecture and multiple safety features allow perfect system integration.
The 2mm x 2mm package and the low number of required external components lead to a tiny solution size of
approximately less than 25 mm2.
OPERATION
The TPS62366x synchronous switched mode power converters are based on DCS-Control™, an advanced
regulation topology, that combines the advantages of hysteretic, voltage mode and current mode control
architectures.
While a comparator stage provides excellent load transient response, an additional voltage loop ensures high DC
accuracy as well. The TPS62366x compensates ground shifts at the load by the differentially sensing the output
voltage at the point of load.
The internal ramp generator adds information about the load current and fast output voltage changes. The
internally compensated regulation network achieves fast and stable operation with low ESR capacitors.
The DCS-Control™ topology supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode for medium and heavy load
conditions and a Power Save Mode at light loads. During PWM mode it operates at its nominal switching
frequency in continuous conduction mode. This frequency is typically about 2.5MHz with a controlled frequency
variation depending on the input voltage. As the load current decreases, the converter enters Power Save Mode
to sustain high efficiency down to light loads. The transition from PWM to Power Save Mode is seamless and
avoids output voltage transients.
The TPS62366x family offers both excellent DC voltage and superior load transient regulation, combined with
very low output voltage ripple, minimizing interference with RF circuits.
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE DEVICE
The device is enabled by setting the EN input to a logic high. Accordingly, a logic low disables the device. If the
device is enabled, the internal power stage starts switching and regulates the output voltage to the programmed
threshold. The EN input must be terminated, unless the internal pull down resistor is activated.
The I2C interface is operable when VDD and AVIN are present, regardless of the state of the EN pin.

If the device is disabled by pulling the EN to a logic low, the output capacitor can actively be discharged. Per
default, this feature is disabled. Programming the EN_DISC bit to a logic high discharges the output capacitor via
a typ. 300Ω path on the SENSE+ pin.
SOFT START
The device incorporates an internal soft start circuitry that controls the ramp up of the output voltage after
enabling the device. This circuitry eliminates inrush current to avoid excessive voltage drops of primary cells and
rechargeable batteries with high internal impedance.
During soft start, the output voltage is monotonically ramped up to the minimum programmable output voltage.
After reaching this threshold, the output voltage is further increased following the slope as programmed in the
ramp rate settings (see RAMP RATE CONTROLLING) until reaching the programmed output voltage. Once the
nominal voltage is reached, regular operation continues.
The device is able to start into a pre biased output capacitor as well.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT
The TPS62366x devices offer two similar registers to program the output. A dedicated hardware input pin (VSEL)
is implemented for choosing the active register. The logic state of the VSEL pin selects the register whose
settings are present at the output. The VSEL pin must be terminated, unless the internal pull-down resistor is
activated.
The registers have a certain initial default value (see Table 3) and can be readjusted via I2C during operation.
This allows a simple transition between two output options by triggering the dedicated input pin. At the same time
since the presets can be readjusted during operation, this offers highest flexibility.

Via the I2C interface and/or the two preset options, the following output parameters can be changed:
• Output voltage from 0.5V to 1.77V with 10 mV granularity
• Mode of operation: Power Save Mode or forced PWM mode
The slope for transition between different output voltages (Ramp Rate) can be changed via I2C as well. The
slope applies for all presets globally. See RAMP RATE CONTROLLING for further details.
Since the output parameters can be changed by a dedicated pin for selecting presets and by I2C, the following
use scenarios are feasible:
• Control the device via VSEL pin only, after programming the presets, to choose and change within the
programmed settings.
• Program via I2C only. The dedicated VSEL pin has a fixed connection. Changes are conducted by changing
the preset values of the active register.
• Dedicated VSEL pin and I2C mixed operation. The non active preset might be changed. The VSEL pin is
used for the transition to the new output condition. Changes within an active preset via I2C are feasible as
well.

individually by setting OV[6:0] in the SET0 and SET1 registers.

If the output voltage is changed at the active register (selected by the VSEL status), these changes apply after
the I2C command is sent.
POWER SAVE MODE AND FORCED PWM MODE
The TPS62366x devices feature a Power Save Mode to gain efficiency at light output current conditions. The
device automatically transitions in both directions between pulse width modulation (PWM) operation at high load
and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) operation at light load current. This maintains high efficiency at both light
and heavy load currents. In PFM Mode, the device generates single switching pulses when required to maintain
the programmed output voltage.
The transition into and out of Power Save Mode happens within the entire regulation scheme and is seamless in
both directions.
The output current, at which the device transitions from PWM to PFM operation can be estimated as follows:

kept small and can be calculated as follows:

The TPS62366x offers a forced PWM mode as well. In this mode, the converter is forced in PWM mode even at
light load currents. This comes with the benefit that the converter is operating with lower output voltage ripple.
Compared to the PFM mode, the efficiency is lower during light load currents.
According to the output voltage, the Power Save Mode / forced PWM Mode can be programmed individually for
each preset via I2C by setting the MODE0 and MODE1 bit D7. Table 3 shows the factory presets after enabling
the I2C. For additional flexibility, the Power Save Mode can be changed at a preset that is currently active.
RAMP RATE CONTROLLING
If the output voltage is changed, the TPS62366x actively controls the voltage ramp rate during the transition. An
internal oscillator is embedded for high timing precision.
Figure 41 shows the operation principle. If the output voltage changes, the device changes the output voltage by
adjusting through discrete steps with a programmable ramp rate resulting in a corresponding transition time. The
connected output capacitor flattens the steps.

If the device is operating in forced PWM Mode, the device actively controls both the ramp up and down slope.
If Power Save Mode is activated, the ramp up phase follows the programmed slope.
To force the output voltage to follow the ramp down slope in Power Save Mode, the RAMP_PFM bit needs to be
set. This forces the converter to follow the ramp down slope during PFM operation as well.
If the RAMP_PFM bit is not set in Power Save Mode, the slope can be less at low output currents since the
device does not actively source energy back from the output capacitor to the input or it might be sharper at high
output currents since the output capacitor is discharged quickly.

The TPS62366x ramps taking 20mV steps with a final 10mV step, if required, for reaching the target output
voltage.
While the output voltage setpoint is changed in a digital stair step fashion, the output voltage change is linear due
to the output capacitor whose voltage cannot change instantaneously.
SAFE OPERATION AND PROTECTION FEATURES
Inductor Current Limit
The inductor current limiting prevents the device from drawing high inductor current and excessive current from
the battery. Excessive current might occur with a shorted/saturated inductor or a heavy load/shorted output
circuit condition.
The incorporated inductor peak current limit measures the current while the high side power MOSFET is turned
on. Once the current limit is tripped, the high side MOSFET is turned off and the low side MOSFET is turned on
to ramp down the inductor current. This prevents high currents to be drawn from the battery.
Once the low side MOSFET is on, the low side forward current limit keeps the low side MOSFET on until the
current through it decreases below the low side forward current limit threshold.
The negative current limit acts if current is flowing back to the battery from the output. It works differently in PWM
and PFM operation. In PWM operation, the negative current limit prevents excessive current from flowing back
through the inductor to the battery, preventing abnormal voltage conditions at the switching node. In PFM
operation, a zero current limits any power flow back to the battery by preventing negative inductor current.
Die Temperature Monitoring and Over Temperature Protection
The TPS62366x offers two stages of die temperature monitoring and protection.
The Early Warning Monitoring Feature monitors the device temperature and provides the host an indication that
the die temperature is in the higher range. If the device's junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 120°C typical, the
TJEW bit is set high. To avoid the thermal shutdown being triggered, the current drawn from the TPS62366x
should be reduced at this early stage.
The Over Temperature Protection feature disables the device if the temperature increases due to heavy load
and/or high ambient temperature. It monitors the device die temperature and, if required, triggers the device into
shutdown until the die temperature falls sufficiently.
If the junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 150°C typical, the device goes into thermal shutdown. In this mode, the
power stage is turned off. During thermal shutdown, the I2C interface remains operable. All register values are
kept.
For the thermal shutdown, a hysteresis of 20°C typical is implemented allowing the device to cool after the
shutdown is triggered. Once the junction temperature TJ cools down to 130°C typical, the device resumes
operation.
If a thermal shutdown has occurred, the TJTS bit is latched and remains a logic high as long as VDD and AVIN
are present and until the bit is reset by the host.
Input Under Voltage Protection
The input under voltage protection is implemented in order to prevent operation of the device for low input
voltage conditions. If the device is enabled, it prevents the device from switching if AVIN falls below the under
voltage lock out threshold. If the AVIN under voltage protection threshold is tripped, the device goes into under
voltage shutdown instantaneously, turning the power stage off and resetting all internal registers. The input under
voltage protection is also implemented on the VDD input. If the VDD under voltage protection threshold is
tripped, the device resets all internal registers.
A under voltage lock out hysteresis of VUVLO,HYST(AVIN) at AVIN and VUVLO,HYST(VDD) at VDD is implemented.
The I2C compatible interface remains fully functional if AVIN and VDD are present. If the under voltage lock out
of AVIN or VDD is triggered during operation, all internal registers are reset to their default values. Figure 42
shows the UVLO block diagram.

By connecting VIN and AVIN to the same potential, VIN is included in the under voltage monitoring. If a low pass
input filter is applied at AVIN (not mandatory for the TPS62366x), the delay and shift in the voltage level can be
calculated by taking the typical quiescent current IQ at AVIN. As an example, for IQ and 10Ω series resistance,
this results in a minimal static shift of approx. 560µV.
VIN and AVIN must be connected to the same source for proper device operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
I2C INTERFACE
Serial Interface Description
I2C is a 2-wire serial interface developed by Philips Semiconductor (see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1,
January 2000). The bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pull-up structures. When the
bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices connect to the I2C bus
through open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. A master device, usually a micro controller or a digital signal
processor, controls the bus. The master is responsible for generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The
master also generates specific conditions that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A slave device
receives and/or transmits data on the bus under control of the master device.
The TPS62366x device works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the I2CBus Specification:
• Standard mode (100 kbps)
• Fast mode (400 kbps)
• Fast mode plus (1Mbps)
• High-speed mode (3.4 Mbps)
The interface adds flexibility to the power supply solution, enabling most functions to be programmed to new
values depending on the instantaneous application requirements. Register contents remain intact as long as
VDD and AVIN are present in the specified range. Tripping the under voltage lock out of AVIN or VDD deletes
the registers and establishes the default values once the supply is present again.
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same; therefore, they are referred to as
F/S-mode in this document. The protocol for high-speed mode is different from F/S-mode, and it is referred to as
HS-mode. The TPS62366x device supports 7-bit addressing. 10-bit addressing and general call addressing are
not supported.
Table 6 shows the TPS62366x devices and their assigned I2C addresses.

F/S-Mode Protocol
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 43. All I2C-compatible devices should
recognize a start condition.

SLUSAX3 – JULY 2012
The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 7-bit address and the read/write direction bit R/W
on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition requires
the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 44). All devices recognize
the address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the slave device with a
matching address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 45) by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high
period of the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that communication link with a
slave has been established.
SDA
SCL
Data line stable;
data valid

data allowed
Figure 44. Bit Transfer on the Serial Interface
The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 1) or receive data from the
slave (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So an
acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the
receiver. 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as
necessary.
To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low to
high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 43). This releases the bus and stops the communication link with the
addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of a stop
condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and they wait for a start condition followed by a matching
address.

HS-Mode Protocol
When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high by the pull-up devices.
The master generates a start condition followed by a valid serial byte containing HS master code 00001XXX.
This transmission is made in F/S-mode at no more than 400 Kbps. No device is allowed to acknowledge the HS
master code, but all devices must recognize it and switch their internal setting to support 3.4 Mbps operation.
The master then generates a repeated start condition (a repeated start condition has the same timing as the start
condition). After this repeated start condition, the protocol is the same as F/S-mode, except that transmission
speeds up to 3.4 Mbps are allowed. A stop condition ends the HS-mode and switches all the internal settings of
the slave devices to support the F/S-mode. Instead of using a stop condition, repeated start conditions should be
used to secure the bus in HS-mode.
Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in this section results in 00h being read out.
I2C UPDATE SEQUENCE
The TPS62366x requires a start condition, a valid I2C address, a register address byte, and a data byte for a
single update. After the receipt of each byte, the TPS62366x device acknowledges by pulling the SDA line low
during the high period of a single clock pulse. A valid I2C address selects the TPS62366x. The TPS62366x
performs an update on the falling edge of the acknowledge signal that follows the LSB byte.

I2C REGISTER RESET
The I2C registers can be reset by pulling VDD below the VDD Under Voltage Level, VDD,UVLO. VDD can be used
as a hardware reset function to reset the registers to defaults, if VDD is supplied by a GPIO of the host. The
host's GPIO must be capable of driving IVDD,max.
Refer to the Input Under Voltage Protection section for details.
PULL DOWN RESISTORS

connected or is triggered by a high impedance source. See Figure 50. By default, the pull down resistors are
enabled.

If a pin is read as a logic HIGH, its pull down resistor is disconnected dynamically to reduce power consumption.
To achieve lowest possible quiescent current or if external pull up/down resistors are employed, the internal pull
down resistors can be disabled individually at EN and VSEL by I2C programming the registers PD_EN and
PD_VSEL.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The input capacitor is required to buffer the pulsing current drawn by the device at VIN and reducing the input
voltage ripple. The pulsing current is originated by the operation principles of a step down converter.
Low ESR input capacitors are required for best input voltage filtering and minimal interference with other system
components. For best performance, ceramic capacitors with a low ESR at the switching frequency are
recommended. X7R or X5R type capacitors should be used.
A ceramic input capacitor in the nominal range of CIN = 4.7µF to 22µF should be a good choice for most
application scenarios. In general, there is no upper limit for increasing the input capacitor.
For typical operation, a 10µF X5R type capacitor is recommended. Table 7 shows a list of recommended
capacitors.

DECOUPLING CAPACITORS AT AVIN, VDD
Noise impacts can be reduced by buffering AVIN and VDD with a decoupling capacitor. It is recommended to
buffer AVIN and VDD with a X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor of at least 0.1µF connected between AVIN, AGND
and VDD, AGND respectively. The capacitor closest to the pin should be kept small (< 0.22µF) in order to keep a
low impedance at high frequencies. In general, there is no upper limit for the total capacitance.
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The choice of the inductor type and value has an impact on the inductor ripple current, the transition point of
PFM to PWM operation, the output voltage ripple and accuracy. The subsections below support for choosing the
proper inductor.
Inductance Value
The TPS62366x is designed for best operation with a nominal inductance value of 1µH.
Inductances down to 0.47µH nominal may be used to improve the load transient behavior or to decrease the total
solution size. See OUTPUT FILTER DESIGN for details.
Depending on the inductance, using inductances lower than 1µH results in a higher inductor current ripple. It can
be calculated as:
V

ΔIL = VOUT ´
L ´ ¦

VIN = Input Voltage
VOUT = Output Voltage

Inductor Saturation Current
The inductor needs to be selected for its current rating. To pick the proper saturation current rating, the maximum
inductor current can be calculated as:
ΔIL
IL,MAX = IOUT,MAX +
2
(6)
With:
ΔIL = Inductor ripple current (see Equation 5)
IOUT,MAX = Maximum output current
Since the inductance can be decreased by saturation effects and temperature impact, the inductor needs to be
chosen to have an effective inductance of at least 0.3µH under temperature and saturation effects.
Table 8 shows a list of inductors that have been used with the TPS62366x. Special care needs to be taken for
choosing the proper inductor, taking e.g. the load profile into account.

Excessive inductor temperature might result in a further effective inductance drop which might be below or close to the max. current limit
threshold, ILIM,max, depending on the inductor, use case and thermal board design. Proper saturation current rating must be verified,
taking into account the use scenario and thermal board layout.

Under development, typ. data might change. Contact manufacturer for schedule and details.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The unique hysteretic control scheme allows the use of tiny ceramic capacitors. For best performance, ceramic
capacitors with low ESR values are recommended to achieve high conversion efficiency and low output voltage
ripple. For stable operation, X7R or X5R type capacitors are recommended.
The TPS62366x is designed to operate with a minimum output capacitor of 10µF for a 1µH inductor and 2x10µF
for a 0.47µH inductor, placed at the device's output. In addition, a 0.1µF capacitor can be added to the output to
reduce the high frequency content created by a very sudden load change. For stability, an overall maximum
output capacitance must not be exceeded. See OUTPUT FILTER DESIGN.
Table 7 shows a list of tested capacitors. The TPS62366x is not designed for use with polymer, tantalum, or
electrolytic output capacitors.

OUTPUT FILTER DESIGN
The inductor and the output capacitors create the output filter. The output capacitors consist of COUT and buffer
capacitors at the load, CLOAD. See Figure 51. Buffering the load by ceramic capacitors, CLOAD, improves the
voltage quality at the load input and the dynamic load step behavior. This is especially true if the trace between
the TPS62366x and the load is longer than the smallest possible.

Depending on the chosen inductor value, a certain minimum output capacitor COUT must be present. Also
depending on the chosen inductor value, a maximum output and buffer capacitor configuration (COUT + CLOAD)
must not be exceeded. Figure 52 shows the range of L, COUT and CLOAD that create a stable output filter.

Figure 52. Recommended L, COUT and CLOAD Combinations
Within the allowed output filter range, a certain filter can be chosen to improve further on application specific key
parameters.
The choice of the inductance, L, affects the inductor current ripple, output voltage ripple, the PFM to PWM
transition point and the PFM operation switching frequency.
The TPS62366x is designed for operation with a nominal inductance value of 1µH. Inductances down to 0.47µH
nominal may be used to improve the load transient behavior (see Figure 31 and Figure 34) or to decrease the
total solution size. This increases the inductor current ripple (see Equation 5). As a consequence, the output
voltage ripple is increased if the output capacitance is kept constant. The increased inductor ripple current also
causes higher peak inductor currents (see Equation 6), requiring a higher saturation current rating. Furthermore,
the PFM switching frequency is decreased (see Figure 38) and the automatic PFM to PWM transition occurs at a
higher output current (see Equation 1).
The choice of the output and buffer capacitance (COUT and CLOAD) affects the load step behavior, output voltage
ripple, PFM switching frequency and output voltage transition time.
A higher output capacitance improves the load step behavior and reduces the output voltage ripple as well as
decreasing the PFM switching frequency. For very large output filter combinations, the output voltage might be
slower than the programmed ramp rate at voltage transitions (see RAMP RATE CONTROLLING) because of the
higher energy stored on the output capacitance. At startup, the time required to charge the output capacitor to
0.5V might be longer. At shutdown, if the output capacitor is discharged by the internal discharge resistor (see
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE DEVICE), this requires more time to settle VOUT down as a consequence of
the increased time constant τ = RDISCHARGE x (COUT + CLOAD).

For further performance or specific demands, these values might be tweaked. In any case, the loop stability
should be checked since the control loop stability might be affected. At light loads, if the device is operating in
PFM Mode, choosing a higher value minimizes the voltage ripple resulting in a better DC output accuracy.
THERMAL AND DEVICE LIFETIME INFORMATION
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 powerdissipation limits of a given component.
Proper PCB layout, focusing on thermal performance, results in lower die temperatures. Wide power traces come
with the ability to sink dissipated heat. This can be improved further on multi-layer PCB designs with vias to
different layers. Proper This results in reduced junction-to-ambient (θJA) and junction-to-board (θJB) thermal
resistances and thereby reduces the device junction temperature, TJ.
The TI reliability requirement for the silicon chip's life time (100K Power-On-Hours at TJ = 105°C) is affected by
the junction temperature and the continuously drawn output current. In order to be consistent with the TI reliability
requirement for the silicon chips (100000 Power-On-Hours at TJ = 105°C), the average output current IOUT,avg
should not continuously exceed 2550mA so as to prevent electromigration failure in the SW pins solder bumps.
Exceeding IOUT,avg and/or TJ,max might affect the device reliability by electromigration. Electromigration is a
physical effect of wafer chip scale packages in general, being a first order function of DC current and
temperature.
Refer to the application note TPS62366x Thermal and Device Lifetime Information (SLVA525) for detailed
information.
For more details on how to use the thermal parameters, see the application notes: Thermal Characteristics
Application Note (SZZA017), and IC Package Thermal Metrics Application Note (SPRA953).
PCB LAYOUT
The PCB layout is an important step to maintain the high performance of the TPS62366x. Both the high current
and the fast switching nodes demand full attention to the PCB layout to save the robustness of the TPS62366x
through the PCB layout. Improper layout might show the symptoms of poor line or load regulation, ground and
output voltage shifts, stability issues, unsatisfying EMI behavior or worsened efficiency.
Signal Routing Strategy
The TPS62366x is a mixed signal IC. Depending on the function of a pin or trace, different board layout
strategies must be addressed to achieve a good design. Due to the nature of a switching converter, some signals
are sensitive to influence from other signals (aggressors). The sense lines, SENSE+ and SENSE-, are sensitive
to the aggressors, which are high bandwidth I/O pins (SCL and SDA) and the switch node (SW) and their
connected traces. Special care must be taken to avoid cross-talk between them.
The following recommendations need to be followed:
•
•
•
•
•
PGND, VIN and SW should be routed on thick layers. They must not surround inner signal layers which are
not able to withstand interference from noisy PGND, VIN and SW. They create a flux which is determined by
the switching frequency. The flux generated affects neighboring layers due to capacitive coupling across
layers.
AGND, AVIN and VDD must be isolated from noisy signals.
If crossing layers is required for PGND, VIN and SW, they must be dimensioned to support the high currents
to not cause high IR drops. In general, changing the layers frequently must be avoided.
Signal traces, and especially the sense lines (SENSE+ and SENSE-), must be kept away from noisy traces/
signals. Avoid capacitive coupling with neighboring noisy layers by cutting away the overlapping areas close
to signal traces. Special care must be taken for the sense lines to avoid inductive / capacitive cross-talk from
aggressors, both from noisy lines as well as the external inductor which generates a magnetic field.
Care should be taken for a proper thermal layout. Wide traces, connecting with vias through the layers,
provides a proper thermal path to sink the heat energy created from the device and inductor.

External Components Placement
The input capacitor at VIN must be placed closest to the IC for proper operation. The decoupling caps at AVIN
and VDD reduce noise impacts and should be placed as close to the IC as possible. The output filter, consisting
of COUT and L, converts the switching signal at SW to the noiseless output voltage. It should be placed as close
as possible to the device keeping the switch node small, for best EMI behavior.
Trace routing
Route the VIN trace wide and thick to avoid IR drops. The trace between the input capacitor's higher node and
VIN as well as the trace between the input capacitor's lower node and PGND must be kept as short as possible.
Parasitic inductance on these traces must be kept as tiny as possible for proper device operation.
AVIN and AGND should be isolated from noisy signals. Route AGND to the star ground point where no IR drop
occurs. The input cap at AVIN isolates noise. Proceed with VDD and AGND in a similar manner.
The switch node trace, SW, must connect directly to the inductor followed by the output capacitors, COUT. The
switch node is an aggressor. Keeping this trace short reduces noise being radiated and improves EMI behavior.
The lower node of the output capacitor, COUT, needs to connect to the star ground point. The TPS62366x
supports the point of load concept (POL). Input caps at the POL do not need to be placed closest to the IC; they
should be placed close to the POL. Route the traces between the TPS62366x's output capacitor and the load's
input capacitors direct and wide to avoid losses due to the IR drop.
Connect the sense lines to the POL. This puts into practice the remote sensing concept, allowing the device to
regulate the voltage at the POL, compensating IR drops. If possible, make a Kelvin connection to the load
device. The sense lines are susceptible to noise. They must be kept away from noisy signals such as PGND,
VIN, and SW, as well as high bandwidth signals such as the I2C. Avoid both capacitive as well as inductive
coupling by keeping the sense lines short, direct and close to each other. Run the lines in a quiet layer. Isolate
them from noisy signals by a voltage or ground plane if possible. Running the signal as a differential pair is
recommended.
The PGND nodes at CIN and COUT can be connected underneath the IC at the PGND pins (star point). Make sure
that small signal traces returning to the AGND do not share the high current path at PGND to CIN and COUT.
See Figure 53 for the recommended layout.
