TPS63036 High-Efficiency Buck-Boost Converter in Tiny Wafer Chip Scale Package
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TPS63036 is a non-inverting buck-boost
converter able to provide a regulated output voltage
from an input supply that can be higher or lower than
the output voltage. The buck-boost converter is based
on a fixed frequency, pulse width modulation (PWM)
controller using synchronous rectification to obtain
maximum efficiency. At low load currents, the
converter enters power save mode to maintain high
efficiency over a wide load current range. The power
save mode can be disabled, forcing the converter to
operate at a fixed switching frequency.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The controller circuit of the device is based on an average current mode topology. The controller also uses input
and output voltage feedforward. Changes of input and output voltage are monitored and immediately can change
the duty cycle in the modulator to achieve a fast response to those errors. The voltage error amplifier gets its
feedback input from the FB pin. A resistive voltage divider must be connected to that pin. The feedback voltage
will be compared with the internal reference voltage to generate a stable and accurate output voltage.
The device uses 4 internal N-channel MOSFETs to maintain synchronous power conversion at all possible
operating conditions. This enables the device to keep high efficiency over a wide input voltage and output power
range. Due to the 4-switch topology, the load is always disconnected from the input during shutdown of the
converter. To protect the device from overheating an internal temperature sensor is implemented.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Device Enable
The device is put into operation when EN is set high. It is put into a shutdown mode when EN is set to GND. In
shutdown mode, the regulator stops switching, all internal control circuitry is switched off, and the load is
disconnected from the input. This means that the output voltage can drop below the input voltage during
shutdown. During start-up of the converter, the duty cycle and the peak current are limited in order to avoid high
peak currents flowing from the input.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Overvoltage Protection
If, for any reason, the output voltage is not fed back properly to the input of the voltage amplifier, control of the
output voltage will not work anymore. Therefore overvoltage protection is implemented to avoid the output
voltage exceeding critical values for the device and possibly for the system it is supplying. The implemented
overvoltage protection circuit monitors the output voltage internally as well. In case it reaches the overvoltage
threshold the voltage amplifier regulates the output voltage to this value.
7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout function prevents device start-up if the supply voltage at VIN is lower than approximately
its threshold (see Electrical Characteristics table). When in operation, the device automatically enters the
shutdown mode if the voltage at VIN drops below the undervoltage lockout threshold. The device automatically
restarts if the input voltage recovers to the minimum operating input voltage.
7.3.4 Overtemperature Protection
The device has a built-in temperature sensor which monitors the internal IC temperature. If the temperature
exceeds the programmed threshold (see Electrical Characteristics table) the device stops operating. As soon as
the IC temperature has decreased below the programmed threshold, it starts operating again. There is a built-in
hysteresis to avoid unstable operation at IC temperatures at the overtemperature threshold.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Soft-Start and Short Circuit Protection
After being enabled, the device starts operating. The average input current limit ramps up from an initial 400 mA
following the output voltage increasing. At an output voltage of about 1.2 V, the current limit is at its nominal
value. If the output voltage does not increase, the current limit will also not increase. The device ramps up the
output voltage in a controlled manner even if a large capacitor is connected at the output. When the output
voltage does not increase above 1.2 V, the device assumes a short circuit at the output, and keeps the current
limit low to protect itself and the application. At a short on the output during operation, the current limit also is
decreased accordingly.
7.4.2 Buck-Boost Operation
To regulate the output voltage at all possible input voltage conditions, the device automatically switches from
step-down operation to boost operation and back as required by the configuration. It always uses one active
switch, one rectifying switch, one switch permanently on, and one switch permanently off. Therefore, it operates
as a step-down converter (buck) when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, and as a boost
converter when the input voltage is lower than the output voltage. There is no mode of operation in which all 4
switches are permanently switching. Controlling the switches this way allows the converter to maintain high
efficiency at the most important point of operation, when input voltage is close to the output voltage. The RMS
current through the switches and the inductor is kept at a minimum, to minimize switching and conduction losses.
For the remaining 2 switches, one is kept permanently on and the other is kept permanently off, thus causing no
switching losses.
7.4.3
Control Loop
The average inductor current is regulated by a fast current regulator loop which is controlled by a voltage control
loop. Figure 3 shows the control loop.
The noninverting input of the trans-conductance amplifier Gmv can be assumed to be constant. The output of
Gmv defines the average inductor current. The inductor current is reconstructed measuring the current through
the high-side buck MOSFET. This current corresponds exactly to the inductor current in boost mode. In buck
mode the current is measured during the ON-time of the same MOSFET. During the OFF-time the current is
reconstructed internally starting from the peak value reached at the end of the ON-time cycle. The average
current is then compared to the desired value and the difference, or current error, is amplified and compared to
the sawtooth ramp of either the buck or the boost.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
The Buck-Boost Overlap Control makes sure that the classical buck-boost function, which would cause two
switches to be on every half a cycle, is avoided. Thanks to this block whenever all switches becomes active
during one clock cycle, the two ramps are shifted away from each other, on the other hand when there is no
switching activities because there is a gap between the ramps, the ramps are moved closer together. As a result
the number of classical buck-boost cycles or no switching is reduced to a minimum and high-efficiency values
have been achieved.
Slope compensation is not required to avoid subharmonic oscillation which are otherwise observed when working
with peak current mode control with D > 0.5.
Nevertheless the amplified inductor current downslope at one input of the PWM comparator must not exceed the
oscillator ramp slope at the other comparator input. This purpose is reached limiting the gain of the current
amplifier.

7.4.4 Power-Save Mode and Synchronization
The PS/SYNC pin can be used to select different operation modes. Power-save mode is used to improve
efficiency at light load. To enable power-save mode, PS/SYNC must be set low. If PS/SYNC is set low then
power-save mode is entered when the average inductor current gets lower than about 100 mA. At this point the
converter operates with reduced switching frequency and with a minimum quiescent current to maintain high
efficiency.

SLVSB76B – AUGUST 2012 – REVISED AUGUST 2019
Device Functional Modes (continued)
During the power-save mode, the output voltage is monitored with a comparator by the threshold comp low and
comp high. When the device enters power-save mode, the converter stops operating and the output voltage
drops. The slope of the output voltage depends on the load and the value of output capacitance. As the output
voltage falls below the comp low threshold, the device ramps up the output voltage again, by starting operation
using a programmed average inductor current higher than required by the current load condition. Operation can
last one or several pulses. The converter continues these pulses until the comp high threshold is reached and
the average inductance current gets lower than about 100 mA. When the load increases above the minimum
forced inductor current of about 100 mA, the device will automatically switch to PWM mode.
The power-save mode can be disabled by programming high at the PS/SYNC. Connecting a clock signal at
PS/SYNC forces the device to synchronize to the connected clock frequency.
Synchronization is done by a phase-locked loop (PLL), so synchronizing to lower and higher frequencies
compared to the internal clock works without any issues. The PLL can also tolerate missing clock pulses without
the converter malfunctioning. The PS/SYNC input supports standard logic thresholds.

The TPS63036 buck-boost converter has internal loop compensation. Therefore, the external L-C filter has to be
selected to work with the internal compensation. As a general rule of thumb, the product L × C should not move
over a wide range when selecting a different output filter. However, when selecting the output filter a low limit for
the inductor value exists to avoid sub-harmonic oscillation which could be caused by a far too fast ramp up of the
amplified inductor current. For the TPS63036 the minimum inductor value should be kept at 1 uH. To simplify this
process Table 1 outlines possible inductor and capacitor value combinations.

8.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
For high efficiencies, the inductor should have a low DC resistance to minimize conduction losses. Especially at
high-switching frequencies the core material has a higher impact on efficiency. When using small chip inductors,
the efficiency is reduced mainly due to higher inductor core losses. This needs to be considered when selecting
the appropriate inductor. The inductor value determines the inductor ripple current. The larger the inductor value,
the smaller the inductor ripple current and the lower the conduction losses of the converter. Conversely, larger
inductor values cause a slower load transient response. To avoid saturation of the inductor, with the chosen
inductance value, the peak current for the inductor in steady-state operation can be calculated. Only the equation
which defines the switch current in boost mode is reported because this is providing the highest value of current
and represents the critical current value for selecting the right inductor.

NOTE
The calculation must be done for the minimum input voltage which is possible to have in
boost mode.
Consider the load transients and error conditions that can cause higher inductor currents. Consider when
selecting an appropriate inductor. Please refer to Table 3 for typical inductors.
The size of the inductor can also affect the stability of the feedback loop. In particular the boost transfer function
exhibits a right half-plane zero, whose frequency is inverse proportional to the inductor value and the load
current. This means as higher the value of inductance and load current is the more possibilities has the right
plane zero to be moved at lower frequency. This could degrade the phase margin of the feedback loop. TI
recommends to choose the value of the inductor in order to have the frequency of the right half plane zero >400
kHz. The frequency of the RHPZ can be calculated using equation Equation 2.

8.2.2.2 Capacitor Selection
8.2.2.2.1
Input Capacitor
At least a 10-μF input capacitor is recommended to improve transient behavior of the regulator and EMI behavior
of the total power supply circuit. A ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins of the
IC is recommended.
8.2.2.2.2
Output Capacitor
For the output capacitor, use of a small ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the VOUT and GND
pins of the IC is recommended. If, for any reason, the application requires the use of large capacitors which can
not be placed close to the IC, use a smaller ceramic capacitor in parallel to the large capacitor. The small
capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VOUT and GND pins of the IC. The recommended typical
output capacitor value is 30 µF.
There is also no upper limit for the output capacitance value. Larger capacitors will cause lower output voltage
ripple as well as lower output voltage drop during load transients.
When choosing input and output capacitors, it needs to be kept in mind, that the value of capacitance
experiences significant losses from their rated value depending on the operating temperature and the operating
DC voltage. It is not uncommon for a small surface mount ceramic capacitor to lose 50% and more of its rated
capacitance. For this reason it could be important to use a larger value of capacitance or a capacitor with higher
voltage rating in order to ensure the required capacitance at the full operating voltage.
8.2.2.3 Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the TPS63036 is set by an external resistor divider. The resistor divider must be connected
between VOUT, FB and GND. When the output voltage is regulated, the typical value of the voltage at the FB pin
is 500 mV. The maximum recommended value for the output voltage is 5.5 V. The typical current into the FB pin
is 0.01 μA, and the voltage across the resistor between FB and GND, R2, is typically 500 mV. Based on these
two values, the recommended value for R2 should be lower than 100 kΩ, in order to set the divider current at 5
μA or higher. From that, the value of the resistor connected between VOUT and FB, R1, depending on the
needed output voltage (VOUT), can be calculated using Equation 4:

SLVSB76B – AUGUST 2012 – REVISED AUGUST 2019
A small capacitor C3 = 10 pF, in parallel with R1 needs to be placed when using the power-save mode, to
improve considerably the output voltage ripple.
8.2.2.4 Current Limit
To protect the device and the application, the average input current is limited internally on the IC. At nominal
operating conditions, this current limit is constant. The current limit value can be found in the Electrical
Characteristics table. The current limit varies depending on the input voltage. A curve of the input current varying
with the input voltage is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 respectively showing the minimum and the maximum
current limit expected depending on input and output voltage.
Given the average input current in Figure 5 is then possible to calculate the output current reached in boost
mode using Equation 5 and Equation 6 and in buck mode using Equation 7 and Equation 8.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS63036 device has no special requirements for its input power supply. The output current of the input
power supply needs to be rated according to the supply voltage, output voltage and output current of the
TPS63036.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents
and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show stability problems as
well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the ground tracks.
The input capacitor, output capacitor, and the inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
The feedback divider should be placed as close as possible to the ground pin of the IC.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
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.
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below.
1. Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design
2. Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB by soldering all pins to traces as wide as
possible.
3. Introducing airflow in the system
The maximum recommended junction temperature (TJ ) of the TPS63036 device is 125°C. The thermal
resistance of this 8-pin chip-scale package (YFG) is RθJA = 84°C/W, if all pins are soldered. Specified regulator
operation is assured to a maximum ambient temperature TA of 85°C. Therefore, the maximum power dissipation
is about 476 mW, as calculated in Equation 9. More power can be dissipated if the maximum ambient
temperature of the application is lower.
TJ (MAX ) - TA 125 oC - 85 oC

= 476 mW
