1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TPS62770 is a tiny power solution for wearable
applications including a 370nA ultra low Iq step-down
converter, a slew rate controlled load switch and a
dual mode step-up converter. The output voltage of
the step-down converter can be selected with three
VSEL pins between 1.0 V, 1.05 V, 1.1 V, 1.2 V, 1.8
V, 1.9 V, 2.0 V and 3.0 V. The output voltage can be
changed during operation. In shutdown mode, the
output of the step-down converter is pulled to GND.
The integrated load switch is internally connected to
the output of the step-down converter and features
slew rate control during turn on phase. Once turned
off, its output is connected to GND.

Health Monitoring and Medical Accessories
The dual mode step-up converter can generate a
constant output voltage up to 15 V, such as PMOLED
supply; or, a constant output current, such as LED
back light supply. The output voltage can be adjusted
up to 15 V with external resistors, or set to fixed 12 V
by connecting the FB pin to VIN. The device features
an internal over voltage protection of 17.7 V in case
the FB node is left open or tight to GND. It includes
an internal rectifier and load disconnect function.
When used as constant output current driver, the
device offers a PWM to analog converter to scale
down the reference voltage according to the duty
cycle of the PWM signal.
The device is available in a small 16pin 0.4mm pitch
WCSP package.

VIN is compared to the programmed output voltage (VOUT). When VIN–VOUT falls below VTH_100- the device enters 100% Mode by turning
the high side MOSFET on. The 100% Mode is exited when VIN–VOUT exceeds VTH_100+ and the device starts switching. The hysteresis
for the 100% Mode detection threshold VTH_100+ - VTH_100- will always be positive and will be approximately 50 mV(typ.)

7.3.1.1 DCS-Control™
TI's DCS-Control™ (Direct Control with Seamless Transition into Power Save Mode) is an advanced regulation
topology, which combines the advantages of hysteretic and voltage mode control. Characteristics of DCS-Control
™ are excellent AC load regulation and transient response, low output ripple voltage and a seamless transition
between PFM and PWM mode operation. DCS-Control™ includes an AC loop which senses the output voltage
(VO1 pin) and directly feeds the information to a fast comparator stage. This comparator sets the switching
frequency, which is constant for steady state operating conditions, and provides immediate response to dynamic
load changes. In order to achieve accurate DC load regulation, a voltage feedback loop is used. The internally
compensated regulation network achieves fast and stable operation with small external components and low
ESR capacitors. The DCS-Control™ topology supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) mode for medium and
high load conditions and a Power Save Mode at light loads. Since DCS-Control™ supports both operation modes
within one single building block, the transition from PWM to Power Save Mode is seamless with minimum output
voltage ripple. The step-down converter offers both excellent DC voltage and superior load transient regulation,
combined with low output voltage ripple, minimizing interference with RF circuits.
7.3.1.2 Output Voltage Selection with pins VSEL1-VSEL3
The step-down converter doesn't require an external resistor divider network to program the output voltage. The
device integrates a high impedance feedback resistor divider network that is programmed by the pins VSEL1-3. It
supports an output voltage range from 1.0 V to 3.0 V. The output voltage is programmed according to Table 2.
The output voltage can be changed during operation. This can be used for simple dynamic output voltage
scaling.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.1.3 CTRL / Output Load
With the CTRL pin set to high, the integrated loadswitch is activated and connects the LOAD pin to the VO1 pin
to power up an additional sub-system. The load switch is slew rate controlled to support soft switching and not to
impact the regulated output VO1. If CTRL pin is pulled to GND, the LOAD pin is disconnected from the VO1 pin
and internally connected to GND by an internal discharge switch. The CTRL pin can be controlled by a micro
controller.
7.3.1.4 Output Discharge At Pins VO1 And LOAD
Both the VO1 pin and the LOAD pin feature a discharge circuit to connect each rail to GND, once they are
disabled. This feature prevents residual charge voltages on capacitors connected to these pins, which may
impact proper power up of the main- and sub-system. With CTRL pin pulled to low, the discharge circuit at the
LOAD pin becomes active. With the EN pin pulled to low, the discharge circuits at both pins VO1 and Load are
active. The discharge circuits of both rails VO1 and LOAD are associated with the UVLO comparator as well.
Both discharge circuits become active once the input voltage VIN has dropped below the UVLO comparator
threshold VTH_UVLO- and the UVLO comparator triggers.
7.3.1.5 Undervoltage Lockout UVLO
The UVLO circuit shuts down the device if the input voltage VIN drops to typical 1.9 V. The device starts up at an
input voltage of typically 2.1 V.
7.3.1.6 Short Circuit Protection
The step-down converter integrates a current limit on the high side, as well on the low side MOSFETs to protect
the device against overload or short circuit conditions. The peak current in the switches is monitored cycle by
cycle. If the high side MOSFET current limit is reached, the high side MOSFET is turned off and the low side
MOSFET is turned on until the switch current decreases below the low side MOSFET current limit. Once the low
side MOSFET current limit trips, the low side MOSFET is turned off and the high side MOSFET turns on again.

Figure 5. Block Diagram Step-Up Converter
The step-up converter is designed for applications requiring voltages up to 15 V from an Li-Ion battery and tiny
solution size such as PMOLED displays or LED back light for small size LCD displays. The step-up converter
operates in two different modes, either as constant output voltage step-up converter operating with 0.8 V internal
reference or as a constant output current step-up converter operating with a reduced internal reference voltage of
200mV. The block integrates power switch, input/output isolation switch, and power diode.
7.3.2.1 Under-Voltage Lockout
See section Undervoltage Lockout UVLO description for the Step-Down Converter.
7.3.2.2 Output Disconnect
One common issue with conventional step-up regulators is the conduction path from input to output even when
the device is disabled. It creates three problems, which are inrush current during start-up, output leakage current
during shutdown and excessive over load current. The step-up converter has an integrated isolation (load
disconnect) switch, which is turned off under shutdown mode and over load conditions, thereby opening the
current path to the output VO2. Thus the device can truly disconnect the load from the input voltage and
minimize the leakage current during shutdown mode.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2.3 12 V Fixed Output Voltage
The step-up converter features an internal default 12-V output voltage setting by connecting the FB pin to the
VIN pin. Therefore no external resistor divider network is required minimizing the total solution size.
7.3.2.4 Mode Selection With Pin BM
The step-up converter can operate in two different modes. With pin BM = low the device regulates to a constant
output voltage; with BM = high, the device can regulate a constant output current. Further details are in section
Constant-Current Step-Up Mode Operation and section Constant-Voltage Step-Up Mode Operation. The
operation mode needs to be selected before the device is enabled. Pin BM may not be changed during
operation.
7.3.2.5 Output Overvoltage Protection
When the output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold of 17.7 V, the device stops switching. Once the output
voltage falls 0.8 V below the OVP threshold, the device resumes operation again.
7.3.2.6 Output Short Circuit Protection
The step-up converter starts to limit the output current whenever the output voltage drops below 4 V. When the
VOUT pin is shorted to ground, the output current is limited. This function protects the device from being
damaged when the output is shorted to ground.
7.3.2.7 PWM to Analog Converter AT PIN EN2/PWM
In constant current step-up mode operation two control functions are associated with the pin EN2/PWM:
a) Enable/ disable of the step-up converter
b) PWM to analog conversion to scale the internal reference voltage.
The internal reference voltage scales proportional with the duty cycle of the PWM signal applied at the pin
EN2/PWM. More details in section Constant-Current Step-Up Mode Operation.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Step-Down Converter
7.4.1.1 Enable and Shutdown
The step-down converter is turned on with EN1 = high. With EN1 = low the step-down converter is turned off.
This pin must be terminated.
7.4.1.2 Power Save Mode Operation
At light loads, the device operates in Power Save Mode. The switching frequency varies linearly with the load
current. In Power Save Mode the device operates in PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) that generates a single
switching pulse to ramp up the inductor current and recharges the output capacitor, followed by a sleep period
where most of the internal circuits are shutdown to achieve lowest operating quiescent current. During this time,
the load current is supported by the output capacitor. The duration of the sleep period depends on the load
current and the inductor peak current. During the sleep periods, the current consumption is reduced to 360 nA.
This low quiescent current consumption is achieved by an ultra low power voltage reference, an integrated high
impedance feedback divider network and an optimized Power Save Mode operation.
7.4.1.3 PWM Mode Operation
At moderate to heavy load currents, the device operates in PWM mode with continuos conduction. The switching
frequency is up to 1.6 MHz with a controlled frequency variation depending on the input voltage and load current.
If the load current decreases, the converter seamlessly enters Power Save Mode to maintain high efficiency
down to very light loads.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.1.4 Device Start-up and Soft Start
The step-down converter has an internal soft start to minimize inrush current and input voltage drop during startup. Once the device is enabled the device starts switching after a typical delay time of 1 ms. Then the soft start
time of typical 700 μs begins with a reduced current limit of typical 150mA. When this time expires the device
enters full current limit operation.
7.4.1.5 Automatic Transition Into 100% Mode
Once the input voltage comes close to the output voltage, the DC/DC converter stops switching and enters 100%
duty cycle operation. It connects the output VOUT via the inductor and the internal high side MOSFET switch to
the input VIN, once the input voltage VIN falls below the 100% mode enter threshold, VTH_100-. The DC/DC
regulator is turned off, switching stops and therefore no output voltage ripple is generated. Because the output is
connected to the input, the output voltage follows the input voltage minus the voltage drop across the internal
high side switch and the inductor. Once the input voltage increases and trips the 100% mode exit threshold,
VTH_100+ , the DC/DC regulator turns on and starts switching again.
7.4.2 Step-Up Converter
7.4.2.1 Enable and Shutdown
The device is turned on with EN2/PWM = high. With EN2/PWM = low the device enters shutdown mode. In
constant current step-up mode (BM = high) the pin EN2/PWM has to be pulled to low level for longer than tDim_Off
max to enter shutdown mode. This pin must be terminated.
7.4.2.2 Soft Start
The step-up converter begins soft start when the EN2/PWM pin is pulled high. At the beginning of the soft start
period, the isolation FET is turned on slowly to charge the output capacitor with 30-mA current for about 6 ms.
This is called the pre-charge phase. The output is charged up to the level of the input voltage VIN. After the precharge phase, the device starts switching and the output voltage ramps up. This is called switching soft start
phase. An internal soft start circuit limits the peak inductor current.
7.4.2.3 Power Save Mode
The step-up converter integrates a power save mode with pulse frequency modulation (PFM) to improve
efficiency at light load. When the load current decreases, the inductor peak current set by the output of the error
amplifier declines to regulate the output voltage. When the inductor peak current hits the low limit of 240 mA, the
output voltage will exceed the set voltage as the load current decreases further. The device enters power save
mode once the FB voltage exceeds the PFM mode threshold, which is 1% above the nominal output voltage. It
stops switching, the load is supplied by the output capacitor and the output voltage begins to decline. When the
FB voltage falls below the PFM mode threshold voltage, the device starts switching again to ramp up the output
voltage.

7.4.2.4 PWM Mode
The step-up converter uses a quasi-constant 1.0-MHz frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) at moderate to
heavy load current. Based on the input voltage to output voltage ratio, a circuit predicts the required off-time. At
the beginning of the switching cycle, the NMOS switching FET is turned on. The input voltage is applied across
the inductor and the inductor current ramps up. In this phase, the output capacitor is discharged by the load
current. When the inductor current hits the current threshold that is set by the output of the error amplifier, the
PWM switch is turned off, and the power diode is forward-biased. The inductor transfers its stored energy to
charge the output capacitor and supply the load. When the off-time is expired, the next switching cycle starts
again. The error amplifier compares the FB pin voltage with an internal reference voltage, and its output
determines the inductor peak current.
7.4.2.5 Constant-Current Step-Up Mode Operation
With pin BM = high the converter can regulate to a constant output current. The internal reference voltage is
therefore reduced to 200mV. In order to regulate a constant output current, a sense resistor has to be connected
between pin FB and GND, see Figure 7. The device features in this operation mode a PWM to analog converter
at pin EN2/PWM. The internal reference voltage is scaled according to the duty cycle of the PWM signal applied
to pin EN2/PWM, see Figure 8. When the pin EN2/PWM is pulled low longer than tDim_OFF max, the step-up
converter enters shutdown mode. The constant output current IOUT2 can be calculated according equations
Equation 1 and Equation 2.

7.4.2.6 Constant-Voltage Step-Up Mode Operation
With pin BM = low the converter operates as a constant output voltage step-up converter. The internal reference
voltage is set to 795 mV. A feedback resistor divider need to be connected between VOUT, FB and GND with its
tap point connected to FB pin. The device provides a fixed set 12 V output voltage if the FB pin is connected to
VIN. In this case no external resistor divider network is needed.
8 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.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS62770 is a tiny power solution for wearable applications including a 370 nA ultra low Iq step-down
converter, a slew-rate controlled load switch and a dual-mode step-up converter. The output voltage of the stepdown converter can be selected between 1.0 V and 3.0 V. The output voltage can be changed during operation.
In shutdown mode, the output of the step-down converter is pulled to GND. The integrated load switch is
internally connected to the output of the step-down converter and features slew rate control during turn on phase.
Once turned off, its output is connected to GND. In order to achieve better supply voltage decoupling / noise
reduction a capacitor can be connected on the LOAD output. The RDSON of the load switch and the connected
capacitor form a RC filter.
The dual mode step-up converter can generate a constant output voltage up to 15V, e.g. for PMOLED supply, or
a constant output current, e.g. for LED back light supply. The output voltage can be adjusted up to 15 V with
external resistors, or set to fixed 12 V by connecting the FB pin to VIN. The device features an internal over
voltage protection of 17 V in case the FB node is left open or tight to GND. It includes an internal rectifier and
load disconnect function. When used as constant output current driver, the device offers a PWM to analog
converter to scale down the reference voltage according to the duty cycle of the PWM signal.
The design guideline provides a component selection to operate the device within the recommended operating
conditions.

8.2.1.2.2 Inductor Selection Step-Down Converter
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 VIN or VOUT and can be
estimated according to Equation 3.

Equation 4 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 a heavy load transient the inductor current rises above the calculated value. A
more conservative way is to select the inductor saturation current above the high-side MOSFET switch current
limit, ILIMF.

In DC/DC converter applications, the efficiency is essentially affected by the inductor AC resistance (i.e. quality
factor) and by the inductor DCR value. 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 (RDC) 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
8.2.1.2.3 Input and Output Capacitor Selection
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 light load currents, the
converter operates in Power Save Mode and the output voltage ripple is dependent on the output capacitor value
and the PFM peak inductor current. A 10 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended as input capacitor.
Table 4 shows a list of tested input/output capacitors.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.2.1 Programming the Output Voltage Of The Step-Up Converter
There are two ways to set the output voltage of the step-up converter. When the FB pin is connected to the input
voltage, the output voltage is fixed to 12 V. This function reduces the external components to minimize the
solution size. The second way is to use an external resistor divider to set the desired output voltage.

By selecting the external resistor divider R1 and R2, as shown in Equation 5, the output voltage is programmed
to the desired value. When the output voltage is regulated, the typical voltage at the FB pin is VREF of 795 mV.

8.2.2.2.2 Inductor Selection for TPS62770 Step-Up Converter
The step-up converter is optimized to work with an inductor values of 10 µH. Follow Equation 6 to Equation 8 to
calculate the inductor’s peak current for the application. To calculate the current in the worst case, use the
minimum input voltage, maximum output voltage, and maximum load current of the application. To have enough
design margin, choose the inductor value with -30% tolerance, and a low power-conversion efficiency for the
calculation.
In a step-up regulator, the inductor dc current can be calculated with Equation 6.
VOUT u IOUT
IL(DC)
VIN u K
(6)
Where:
VOUT = output voltage
IOUT = output current
VIN = input voltage
η = power conversion efficiency, use 80% for most applications
The inductor ripple current is calculated with the Equation 7 for an asynchronous step-up converter in continuous
conduction mode (CCM).
VIN u VOUT 0.8V VIN
'IL(P P)
L u fSW u VOUT 0.8V
(7)
Where:
ΔIL(P-P) = inductor ripple current
L = inductor value
f SW = switching frequency
VOUT = output voltage
VIN = input voltage
Therefore, the inductor peak current is calculated with Equation 8.

8.2.4.1 Design Requirements
The step-up converter is configured to operate as a constant current driver e.g. to power 3 to 4 white LED's in a
string. The maximum current through the string is set by the sense resistor RSense as shown in Figure 40 To
minimize the losses in the sense resistor, the device features a 200mV internal reference, which is enabled by
connecting the BM pin to high level. This section describes an application delivering 10mA through an LED string
with 4 LED's which is suitable for small display used in wearable applications. See also TPS62770 Step-Up
Converter with Adjustable Output Voltage (9 V to 15 V) section Design Requirements.
8.2.4.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.4.2.1 Setting the Output Current
The Sense resistor to set the maximum output current can be calculated according to Equation 9 The output
current IOUT2 can be reduced by applying a PWM signal at pin EN2/PWM according to Equation 10

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The power supply must provide a current rating according to the supply voltage, output voltage and output
current of the TPS62770.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•
32
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design. 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 issues as
well as EMI problems and interference with RF circuits.
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 VIN and GND. The output capacitors
should be placed close between VO1/2 and GND pins.
The VO1/2 line should be connected to the output capacitor and routed away from noisy components and
traces (e.g. SW line) or other noise sources.
See Figure 45 and Figure 46 for the recommended PCB layout.
