Point-of-Load (POL) Applications
With an input voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, the
device is targeted to power a large variety of portable
handheld equipment or POL applications.
The TPS62590 family operates at 2.25-MHz fixed
switching frequency and enters a power save mode
operation at light load currents to maintain a 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 pulse width
modulation (PWM) mode by pulling the MODE pin
high. In the shutdown mode the current consumption
is reduced to less than 1 µA. The TPS62590 allows
the use of small inductors and capacitors to achieve a
small solution size.
The TPS62590 is available in a 2-mm × 2-mm 6-pin
WSON package.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS62590 step-down converter operates with typically 2.25-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 turns off the switch. The current limit comparator also turns off the switch if 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 to the inductor through the low-side MOSFET rectifier.
The next cycle is initiated by the clock signal again turning off the low-side MOSFET rectifier and turning on the
high-side MOSFET switch.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 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.

7.3.2 Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the device from malfunctioning at low input voltages and from
excessive discharge of the battery and disables the output stage of the converter. The undervoltage lockout
threshold is typically 1.85 V with falling VIN.
7.3.3 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.
7.3.4 Enable
The device is enabled setting EN pin to high. During the start-up time tStart Up the internal circuits are settled.
Afterwards, the device activates the soft-start circuit. 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. In fixed output voltage versions, the internal resistor divider network
is disconnected from FB pin.
7.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
As soon as the junction temperature TJ exceeds 140°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.

SLVS897C – JANUARY 2009 – REVISED DECEMBER 2015
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Soft-Start
The TPS62590 has an internal soft-start circuit that controls the ramp up of the output voltage. The output
voltage ramps up from 5% to 95% of its nominal value within typical 250 μs. This limits the inrush current in the
converter during ramp up and prevents possible input voltage drops when a battery or high impedance power
source is used. The soft start circuit is enabled within the start up time tStart Up.
7.4.2 Power-Save Mode
The power-save mode is enabled with MODE pin set to low level. If the load current decreases, the converter will
enter 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 will position the output voltage +1% above the nominal output voltage typically. 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 VOUT nominal +1%, the device starts a PFM current pulse. For this the
high-side MOSFET switch will turn on and the inductor current ramps up. After the ON-time expires, the switch is
turned off and the low-side MOSFET switch is 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 to or higher than the PFM comparator threshold,
the device stops switching and enters a sleep mode with typical 15-μA current consumption.
If the output voltage is still below the PFM comparator threshold, a sequence of further PFM current pulses are
generated until the PFM comparator threshold is reached. The converter starts switching again once the output
voltage drops below the PFM comparator threshold.
With a fast single threshold comparator, the output voltage ripple during PFM mode operation can be kept small.
The PFM pulse is time controlled, which allows to modify the charge transferred to the output capacitor by the
value of the inductor. The resulting PFM output voltage ripple and PFM frequency depend in first order on the
size of the output capacitor and the inductor value. Increasing output capacitor values and inductor values will
minimize the output ripple. The PFM frequency decreases with smaller inductor values and increases with larger
values.
The PFM mode is left and PWM mode entered in case the output current can not longer be supported in PFM
mode. The power save mode can be disabled through the MODE pin set to high. The converter will then operate
in fixed frequency PWM mode.
7.4.3 100% Duty Cycle Low Dropout Operation
The device starts to enter 100% duty cycle mode once the input voltage comes close 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.
The minimum input voltage to maintain regulation depends on the load current and output voltage, and can be
calculated by Equation 1:
VINmin = VOUTmax + IOUTmax × RDS(on)max + RL)
where
•
•
•
•
IOUTmax = Maximum output current plus inductor ripple current
RDS(on)max = Maximum P-channel switch RDS(on)
RL = DC resistance of the inductor
VOUTmax = Nominal output voltage plus maximum output voltage tolerance

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.4 Short-Circuit Protection
The high-side and low side MOSFET switches are short-circuit protected with maximum switch current equal to
ILIMF. The current in the switches is monitored by current limit comparators. Once the current in the high-side
MOSFET switch exceeds the threshold of its current limit comparator, it turns off and the low-side MOSFET
switch is activated to ramp down the current in the inductor and high-side MOSFET switch. The high-side
MOSFET switch can only turn on again, once the current in the low-side MOSFET switch has decreased below
the threshold of its current limit comparator.

The device operates over an input voltage range from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The output voltage is adjustable using an
external feedback divider.

(2)
To minimize the current through the feedback divider network, R2 should be 180 kΩ or 360 kΩ. The sum of R1
and R2 should not exceed ~1 MΩ, to keep the network robust against noise. An external feed forward capacitor
C1 is required for optimum load transient response. The value of C1 should be in the range between 22 pF and
33 pF.
Route the FB line away from noise sources, such as the inductor or the SW line.
8.2.2.2 Output Filter Design (Inductor and Output Capacitor)
The TPS62590 is designed to operate with inductors in the range of 1.5 μH to 4.7 μH and with output capacitors
in the range of 4.7 μF to 22 μF. The part is optimized for operation with a 2.2-μH inductor and 10-μF output
capacitor. Larger or smaller inductor values can be used to optimize the performance of the device for specific
operation conditions. For stable operation, the L and C values of the output filter may not fall below 1-μH
effective inductance and 3.5-μF effective capacitance.
8.2.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
The inductor value has a direct effect on the ripple current. The selected inductor has to 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.

Typical Application (continued)
The inductor selection has also impact on the output voltage ripple in PFM mode. Higher inductor values will lead
to lower output voltage ripple and higher PFM frequency, lower inductor values will lead to a higher output
voltage ripple but lower PFM frequency.
Equation 3 calculates the maximum inductor current under static load conditions. The saturation current of the
inductor should be rated higher than the maximum inductor current as calculated with Equation 4. This is
recommended because during heavy load transient the inductor current will rise above the calculated value.

A more conservative approach is to select the inductor current rating just for the maximum switch current of the
corresponding converter.
Accepting larger values of ripple current allows the use of low 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

8.2.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
The advanced fast-response voltage mode control scheme of the TPS62590 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.
At nominal load current, the device operates in PWM mode and the RMS ripple current is calculated by
Equation 5:

At nominal load current, the device operates in PWM mode and the overall output voltage ripple is the sum of the
voltage spike caused by the output capacitor ESR plus the voltage ripple caused by charging and discharging the
output capacitor shown in Equation 6:

At light load currents the converter operates in power save mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on
the output capacitor and inductor value. Larger output capacitor and inductor values minimize the voltage ripple
in PFM mode and tighten DC output accuracy in PFM mode.
8.2.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The buck converter has a natural 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. 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. The ringing can couple to the output and be mistaken as loop
instability or could even damage the part by exceeding the maximum ratings.

10 Layout
10.1 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 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 GND pin of the device to the exposed thermal pad of the PCB and use this pad as a star point. Use
a common power GND node and a different node for the signal GND to minimize the effects of ground noise.
Connect these ground nodes together to the exposed thermal pad (star point) underneath the IC. Keep the
common path to the GND pin, which returns the small signal components and the high current of the output
capacitors as short as possible to avoid ground noise. The FB line should be connected right to the output
capacitor and routed away from noisy components and traces (for example, the SW line).
