LOW DROPOUT, 100% DUTY CYCLE OPERATION
The device starts to enter 100% duty cycle mode once input and output voltage come close together. In order to
maintain the output voltage, the P-channel MOSFET is turned on 100% for one or more cycles.
With further decreasing VIN the high-side switch is constantly turned on, thereby providing 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 as:
(
VINmin = VOUT max + IOUT max ´ RDS(on)max + RL

ENABLE
The TPS62692 device starts operation when EN is set high and starts up with the soft start as previously
described. For proper operation, the EN pin must be terminated and must not be left floating.
Pulling the EN pin low forces the device into shutdown, with a shutdown quiescent current of typically 0.2 μA. In
this mode, the P and N-channel MOSFETs are turned off, the internal resistor feedback divider is disconnected,
and the entire internal-control circuitry is switched off.
The TPS62692 device can actively discharge the output capacitor when it turns off. The integrated discharge
resistor has a typical resistance of 100 Ω. The required time to discharge the output capacitor at the output node
depends on load current and the output capacitance value.
SOFT START
The TPS62692 has an internal soft-start circuit that limits the inrush current during start-up. This limits input
voltage drops when a battery or a high-impedance power source is connected to the input of the converter.
In the TPS62692, the soft start is implemented as a digital circuit increasing the switch current in steps of
typically 300 mA, 700 mA, 1000 mA, and the typical switch current limit of 1250 mA. During the first phase the
soft-start system progressively increases the on-time from a minimum pulse-width of 35 ns as a function of the
output voltage, resulting in an current limit of approximately 300mA in this phase. The current limit transitions to
the next step every 256 clocks (≈ 88us). To be able to switch from 700 mA to 1000 mA current limit step, the
output voltage needs to be higher than 0.6 V (otherwise the parts keeps operating at 700 mA current limit).
After the soft-start time has exceeded and the output voltage settled at its nominal value, the converter supports
the full load curent.
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 TPS62692 device has
an UVLO threshold set to 2.05V (typical). Fully functional operation is permitted down to 2.1 V input voltage.
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The TPS62692 integrates a P-channel MOSFET current limit to protect the device against heavy load or short
circuits. When the current in the P-channel MOSFET reaches its current limit, the P-channel MOSFET is turned
off and the N-channel MOSFET is turned on. The regulator continues to limit the current on a cycle-by-cycle
basis.
As soon as the output voltage falls below ca. 0.4 V, the converter current limit is reduced to half of the nominal
value. Because the short-circuit protection is enabled during start-up, the device does not deliver more than half
of its nominal current limit until the output voltage exceeds approximately 0.5 V. This needs to be considered
when a load acting as a current sink is connected to the output of the converter.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
As soon as the junction temperature, TJ, exceeds typically 140°C, the device goes into thermal shutdown. In this
mode, the P- and N-channel MOSFETs are turned off. The device continues its operation when the junction
temperature again falls below typically 130°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The TPS62692 series of step-down converters have been optimized to operate with an effective inductance
value in the range of 0.5μH to 1.8μH and with output capacitors in the range of 4.7 μF to 10 μF. The internal
compensation is optimized to operate with an output filter of L = 1 μH and CO = 4.7 μF. Larger or smaller inductor
values can be used to optimize the performance of the device for specific operation conditions. For more details,
see the CHECKING LOOP STABILITY section.
The inductor value affects its peak-to-peak ripple current, the PWM-to-PFM transition point, the output voltage
ripple and the efficiency. 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 VI or VO.

In high-frequency converter applications, the efficiency is essentially affected by the inductor AC resistance (i.e.
quality factor) and to a smaller extent by the inductor DCR value. To achieve high efficiency operation, care
should be taken in selecting inductors featuring a quality factor above 25 at the switching frequency. Increasing
the inductor value produces lower RMS currents, but degrades transient response. For a given physical inductor
size, increased inductance usually results in an inductor with lower saturation current.
The total losses of the coil consist of both the losses in the DC resistance (DC)) and the following frequencydependent 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
The following inductor series from different suppliers have been used with the TPS6269x converters.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The advanced fast-response voltage mode control scheme of the TPS62692 allows the use of tiny ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with low ESR values have the lowest output voltage ripple and are
recommended. For best performance, the device should be operated with a minimum effective output
capacitance of 2μF. 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 overall output voltage ripple is the sum of the
voltage step caused by the output capacitor ESL and the ripple current flowing through the output capacitor
impedance.
At light loads, the output capacitor limits the output ripple voltage and provides holdup during large load
transitions. A 4.7 μF or 10 μF ceramic capacitor typically provides sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the
output during large load transitions. The typical output voltage ripple is ca. 0.5% to 1.5% of the nominal output
voltage VO.
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. The PFM frequency decreases with smaller inductor values and increases with larger once. Increasing the
output capacitor value and the effective inductance will minimize the output ripple voltage.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Because of the nature of the buck converter having a pulsating input current, a low ESR input capacitor is
required to prevent large voltage transients that can cause misbehavior of the device or interferences with other
circuits in the system. For most applications, a 2.2 or 4.7-μF capacitor is sufficient. If the application exhibits a
noisy or erratic switching frequency, the remedy should be found by experimenting with the value of the input
capacitor.
Take care when using only 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 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. Additional "bulk" capacitance (electrolytic or tantalum) should in this circumstance be placed
between CI and the power source lead to reduce ringing than can occur between the inductance of the power
source leads and CI.
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, VO(AC)
These are the basic signals that need to 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 L-C combination.
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 turn on of the P-channel MOSFET, the output capacitor must supply
all of the current required by the load. VO immediately shifts by an amount equal to ΔI(LOAD) x ESR, where ESR
is the effective series resistance of CO. ΔI(LOAD) begins to charge or discharge CO generating a feedback error
signal used by the regulator to return VO to its steady-state value. The results are most easily interpreted when
the device operates in PWM mode.
During this recovery time, VO can be monitored for settling time, overshoot or ringing that helps judge the
converter’s stability. Without any ringing, the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin.
Because the damping factor of the circuitry is directly related to several resistive parameters (e.g., MOSFET
rDS(on)) that are temperature dependant, the loop stability analysis has to be done over the input voltage range,
load current range, and temperature range.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. High-speed operation of the
TPS6269x devices demand careful attention to PCB layout. Care must be taken 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 and switching frequency 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 ground pins of the dc/dc converter must be strongly connected to the PCB ground (i.e. reference potential
across the system). These ground pins serve as the return path for both the control circuitry and the synchronous
rectifier. Furthermore, due to its high frequency switching circuitry, it is imperative for the input capacitor to be as
close to the SMPS device as possible, and that there is an unbroken ground plane under the TPS6269x and its
external passives. Additionally, minimizing the area between the SW pin trace and inductor will limit high
frequency radiated energy. The feed-back line should be routed away from noisy components and traces (e.g.
SW line).
The output capacitor carries the inductor ripple current. While not as critical as the input capacitor, an unbroken
ground connection from this capacitor’s ground return to the inductor, input capacitor and SMPS device will
reduce the output voltage ripple and it’s associated ESL step. This is a critical aspect to achieve best loop and
frequency stability.
High frequency currents tend to find their way on the ground plane along a mirror path directly beneath the
incident path on the top of the board. If there are slits or cuts in the ground plane due to other traces on that
layer, the current will be forced to go around the slits. If high frequency currents are not allowed to flow back
through their natural least-area path, excessive voltage will build up and radiated emissions will occur. There
should be a group of vias in the surrounding of the dc/dc converter leading directly down to an internal ground
plane. To minimize parasitic inductance, the ground plane should be as close as possible to the top plane of the
PCB (i.e. onto which the components are located).

THERMAL INFORMATION
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependant 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.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below:
• Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
• Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB
• Introducing airflow into the system
The maximum recommended junction temperature (TJ) of the TPS62692 devices is 105°C. The thermal
resistance of the 6-pin CSP package (YFD-6) is RθJA = 125°C/W. Regulator operation is specified to a maximum
steady-state ambient temperature TA of 85°C. Therefore, the maximum power dissipation is about 160 mW.
