With the WEBENCH® Power Designer
The TPS63710 operates with a fixed-frequency PWM
control topology. It has an internal current limit and a
thermal shutdown. The input voltage range of 3.1 V to
14 V allows the TPS63710 to be used in a variety of
applications where a negative output voltage is
generated from a, in absolute value, higher positive
input voltage.
Synchronous rectification provides high efficiency
especially for small output voltages like -1.8 V, which
are typically used as a negative supply voltage for
high performance DACs and ADCs. A fixed switching
frequency of 1.5 MHz allows the use of small external
components and enables a small total solution size.

The values given for all the capacitors are effective capacitance, which includes the dc bias effect. Especially the input capacitor CIN and
the CCP capacitor, which are charged to the input voltage, are strongly effected. Their effective capacitance is much lower based on the
dc voltage applied. Therefore, the nominal capacitor value needs to be larger than the minimum values given in the table. Please check
the manufacturer´s dc bias curves for the effective capacitance vs dc voltage applied.
If a maximum output current below 1A is required, the capacitance can be reduced accordingly. See the application section for details.
The maximum value also includes dc bias at the nominal operating voltage. During start-up when the voltage is 0 V, the effective
capacitance can be higher. Please see the application section for details.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS63710 is a dc-dc converter that generates a negative output voltage using an inverting buck topology. It
operates with an input voltage range of 3.1 V to 14 V and generates a negative output voltage down to -5.5 V. As
it is based on a step-down topology, the input voltage needs to be larger than the negative voltage, in absolute
value, that is generated. The output is controlled by a fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) regulator.
As there is an inductor in the output path, similar to a step-down converter, the output current is continuous and
the output voltage ripple is low. This makes this topology a perfect solution for noise sensitive applications.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Low Noise Reference System
The reference system in the TPS63710 uses an external filter capacitor on the CAP pin. This reduces the lowfrequency (1/f) noise in a range from a lower limit up to around 100kHz. The lower limit is defined by the corner
frequency of the RC filter from the internal 100-kΩ resistor and an external capacitor on the CAP pin. The corner
frequency is defined by Equation 1.
fc =
1
1
=
2p ´ R ´ C 2p ´100kW ´ CCAP
(1)
In order to minimize the noise on the output voltage, the TPS63710 uses an architecture where the output
voltage setting is done by changing the reference voltage which then is filtered. The gain stage therefore does
not have to have a large gain in order to not increase the noise level. VBG is the internal bandgap reference
voltage, optimized for low noise. Its output voltage is amplified and inverted and then filtered. The voltage on the
CAP pin is the reference for the gain stage. The connection from CAP to the external capacitor should be as
short as possible and be kept away from noisy traces. The gain stage has a small gain of 1/0.9. The voltage at
VREF is negative and lower than the output voltage by the gain factor of the gain stage. Please also see Setting
the Output Voltage. Figure 9 shows the low noise architecture.

7.3.2 Duty Cycle
The duty cycle referred to in this data sheet is the duty cycle at the SW pin. By definition, from the PWM
operation, the CP pin has the inverse duty cycle of 1-D. As a first approximation, the duty cycle is defined as
|VOUT| / VIN. However, the actual duty cycle is larger, due to losses, and must remain below 70% for a robust
design.
7.3.3 Enable
The device is enabled when the EN pin is set to high. With EN set to low, the device shuts down. After EN is set
high, the capacitor CCP (from CP to SW) is pre-charged with about 50mA. After the start-up delay time tdelay, the
device starts switching and ramps the output voltage to its target value. See Soft-Start.
The EN pin must be set externally to high or low. An internal pull-down resistor of about 400 kΩ is connected and
keeps EN low, if a low is detected internally and afterwards the pin is floating. When a high level is detected, the
internal resistor is disconnected. The logic levels are referenced to the IC´s GND pin.
7.3.4 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the device from starting up and operating, if the supply voltage is too
low. The device automatically shuts down the converter when the VAUX voltage falls below the VUVLO threshold.
There is hysteresis to prevent oscillation with high impedance supply voltage sources. Once the threshold plus
hysteresis is exceeded, the device enters soft-start. Undervoltage lockout is sensed on the VAUX voltage, as this
is the internal supply for the control loop and logic.

TPS63710
SLVSD44A – SEPTEMBER 2017 – REVISED JULY 2018

Feature Description (continued)
When VIN ramps down to a voltage too low to maintain the desired output voltage, the absolute value of the
output voltage drops and the power good output goes low. When the output voltage level reaches the voltage on
CCAP, at about 90% of the target output voltage, the device shuts down and initiates a re-start cycle. The
TPS63710 then stays in the start-up state, until the input voltage is high enough to reach the desired output
voltage.
7.3.5 Thermal Shutdown
The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is monitored by an internal temperature sensor. If TJ exceeds the
thermal shutdown temperature TSD, the device turns off the internal power FETs, discharges the output capacitor
and the power good output goes low. It starts operation again when the junction temperature has decreased by
the thermal shutdown hysteresis.
7.3.6 Power Good Output
The TPS63710 has a built-in power good (PG) output to indicate whether or not the output voltage is in
regulation. The PG signal can be used for startup sequencing of multiple rails. The PG pin is an open-drain
output that requires a pull-up resistor to any positive voltage up to 5.5 V. It can sink 1 mA of current and maintain
its specified logic low level. PG is low when the device is turned off due to EN = low, undervoltage lockout, or
thermal shutdown. There is a typical de-glitch time of 10 µs on the power good output. The minimum VIN to drive
the PG pin properly is typically 2 V. If not used, the PG pin may be left floating or connected to GND.
VAUX may be used to pull-up the PG pin, but the pull-up resistor must be chosen such that the maximum load of
100 µA on VAUX is not exceeded.
During start-up, the power good signal is gated by the soft-start circuit such that the output is held low as long as
the soft-start is ongoing.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Soft-Start
The discharge circuit keeps the output voltage at 0 V when the TPS63710 is disabled. The TPS63710 only
begins the start-up cycle when the output voltage is between +300 mV to -300 mV to ensure a proper start-up.
When the output voltage is not in this range, the device keeps the discharge switch on and waits until the voltage
is within the window.
When the device is enabled, the internal reference is powered up. After the startup delay time when the CCP
capacitor is pre-charged, the device enters soft-start, starts switching and ramps down the output voltage. Softstart is achieved by ramping the reference voltage, hence the output voltage, to its nominal value. This ramp time
is defined by an external capacitor connected to the CAP pin. The capacitor is charged with typically 100 µA by
an internal current source. The ramp time is defined in Equation 2.
tramp = CCAP´VREF

CCAP´0.9´VOUT

7.4.2 VOUT Discharge
The VOUT pin has a discharge circuit to connect the output to GND, once the device is disabled. This feature
prevents residual voltages on the output capacitor. The discharge circuit becomes active when VIN drops below
VUVLO, EN=low, or thermal shutdown occurs. The minimum supply voltage required to drive the discharge switch
is typically 2 V.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.3 Current Limit
A current limit protects the device against short circuits at the output. The current limit is scaled down from its
nominal value for input voltages below 4 V. The current limit monitors the peak current in the LSD during the ONtime. If this current is reached during the ON-time, the LSD is turned off and the HSD and RECT turned on to
decrease the current. The next ON-time begins at the next switching cycle.
A short circuit from VIN to GND during operation should be avoided as this leads to a high current discharging
the CCP capacitor through the back-gate diode of the high side switch to GND. When there is an overload on the
output and the output voltage drops below 0.9 times the target output voltage, the device re-starts.
7.4.4 CCP Capacitor Precharge
The CCP capacitor is pre-charged during the start-up delay phase by a current that increases up to 50 mA based
on the voltage of VIN - VCP. When the voltage on CCP reaches approximately the VIN level, the device starts
switching.
7.4.5 PWM Operation
The converter operates with a fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulated control. In the OFF-time, the rectifier
switch (RECT) and the high-side switch (HSD) are turned on to charge CCP to the input voltage. As well, the
inductor current ramps down, continuing to charge the output capacitor. During the ON-time, the low-side switch
(LSD) is closed and HSD and RECT are opened. CCP inverts the supply voltage onto SW, and the inductor
current is ramped up. The LC output filter filters the SW voltage, just like in a step-down converter. Charging the
CCP capacitor during the OFF-time limits the maximum duty cycle. The upper limit of the duty cycle is 70% to
allow charging the CCP capacitor in the remaining 30%.
Lower negative voltages require higher positive supply voltages. For an output voltage of -1.8 V, a minimum input
voltage of 4.5 V is sufficient while for an output voltage of -3.3 V, the input voltage has to be above 6 V. See
Figure 37 to Figure 39 for the relation of input voltage, output voltage and temperature vs output current.
For high input voltages and, in absolute value, small output voltages, the device operates with its minimum ontime (ton,min) to generate the duty cycle required for this VIN and VOUT ratio. This means that, for such cases, the
switching frequency is lower than fS.

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 TPS63710 is intended for systems typically powered by a pre-regulated power supply but can also run on a
battery with a supply voltage range between 3.1 V and 14 V.
8.2 Typical Application
The application covers the input voltage range from 4.5 V to 14 V at the full 1-A output current. The output
capacitors are designed for an output voltage of -1.8 V. With output voltages below -1.8V (larger negative
voltages), the output capacitance has to be increased as described in the Detailed Design Procedure. The
minimum supply voltage is defined by the 70% duty cycle limit, output current and the output voltage. Please see
Figure 37 to Figure 39 for the recommended input voltage levels to generate a specific output voltage.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
The design of the inverter can be adapted to different output voltages and load currents. The following
components cover an input voltage range up to 9 V. For CIN, a 0603 capacitor close to the device pins is
required in addition to the larger capacitor. As the CCP capacitor has the same voltage across it, its dc bias effect
is similar to CIN. Table 3 gives examples for the schematics optimized for different input and output voltage
ranges.

• Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
8.2.2.2 Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the TPS63710 converter is adjusted with an external resistor divider connected to the FB
pin. The voltage at the feedback pin is negative and is regulated to -0.7 V. The gain stage adds a gain factor of
1/0.9 such that the output voltage is -0.778 V for -0.7 V of FB voltage. See Low Noise Reference System for
details.
The value of the output voltage is set by the selection of the resistive divider using Equation 3 and VFB_SET =
-0.778 V. Both VOUT and VFB_SET are negative, so the ratio is positive again.

ö
- 1÷
R1 = R 2 ´ ç

It is recommended to choose resistor values such that R1 + R2 are in a range from 100 kΩ to 500 kΩ. For
example, if an output voltage of -1.8 V is needed and a resistor of 150-kΩ has been chosen for R2, a 196-kΩ
resistor on R1 is required to program the desired output voltage.

8.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
The basic parameters for choosing an appropriate inductor is saturation current, as well as the dc resistance of
the inductor. The TPS63710 is designed such that it operates with an inductance as given in the recommended
operating conditions. For best performance, a nominal inductance of 2.2 µH should be used for input voltages
below 9 V. For input voltages above 9 V, a nominal inductance of 4.7 µH is preferred to keep the inductor current
ripple at a reasonable level.
Similar to a step-down converter, the inductor along with the output capacitor forms a LC filter. For noisesensitive applications, larger values for the inductance and output capacitance are preferred to get the noise
level at the output to very low values.
The peak inductor current depends on the output load, the input voltage VIN, and the output voltage VOUT. The
average inductor current equals the load current.
The topology can be simplified to an inverter stage followed by a step-down converter. The equations for
calculating the inductor current of a step-down converter therefore also apply. The worst case inductor ripple
current occurs at 50% duty cycle which is when VIN = 2 x |VOUT|. The voltage across the inductor is VIN - |VOUT|,
which is 0.5 x VIN at 50% duty cycle. With this, Equation 5 and dt = 0.5 x 1/fS, the peak to peak inductor ripple
current is defined by Equation 6. The inductor´s saturation current must remain above its peak current which is
calculated in Equation 7. Table 5 shows a list of recommended inductors.

8.2.2.4 Capacitor Selection
8.2.2.4.1 CCP Capacitor
The capacitance of CCP determines the maximum output current of TPS63710. Therefore it is selected at first. A
minimum 4-uF of effective capacitance is required to support the full output current of 1 A. Only ceramic
capacitors like X7R, X5R or equivalent are recommended. For applications that require a lower maximum output
current, its value can be reduced linearly. As the voltage at the CCP capacitor is equal to the input voltage VIN,
the dc bias effect has to be taken into account based on the maximum input voltage. Table 6 shows
recommended CCP capacitors.

8.2.2.4.2 Input Capacitor
The capacitance of the input capacitor should be at least twice the capacitance of CCP. At least a 22-μF ceramic
input capacitor is recommended for a good transient behavior of the regulator and EMI behavior of the total
power supply circuit. The capacitor must be located as close to the VIN and GND pins as possible. Only ceramic
capacitors like X7R, X5R or equivalent are recommended. A 0603 size 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor in parallel to the
main input capacitor is recommended to reduce high frequency noise. The input capacitance can be increased
without limit. Table 7 shows recommended capacitors.

8.2.2.4.3 Output Capacitor
One of the major parameters necessary to define the capacitance value of the output capacitor is the maximum
allowed output voltage ripple of the converter and device stability. Internal device compensation defines the limits
for the capacitance on the output. Only ceramic capacitors like X7R, X5R or equivalent are recommended. Table
Table 8 gives the minimum amount of capacitors required for a given output voltage based on the dc bias effect.
For lowest output voltage ripple, more capacitance can be added up to the maximum value as defined in the
recommended operating conditions.

8.3 System Examples
8.3.1 Typical Application for Powering the Negative Rail of a Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power Amplifier
The TPS63710 requires a supply voltage in the range of 8.8 V to 14 V in order to generate an output voltage of
-5 V. The circuit therefore was optimized for this input voltage range. The number of the input, output and CCP
capacitors have been adjusted to compensate for the higher dc bias effect with large input and output voltages.
In addition, the inductor has been changed to 4.7 µH for low inductor current ripple at an input voltage up to 14
V.

8.3.2 Typical Application for Powering the Negative Rail of an ADC or DAC
Typically, the input voltage to the inverter in applications powering the negative supply of an ADC or DAC is
about 5 V. The circuit therefore was optimized for this input voltage range, because the size and amount of
capacitors depends on the voltage applied to the capacitors. In order not to over-design, the input voltage range
was set to the range required to set a limit for the dc bias of the capacitors. Figure 43 shows a, for an input
voltage of 5-V, optimized design. The minimum input voltage to support the full output current is 4.5 V. The
maximum input voltage is defined by the dc bias characteristic of the input and CCP capacitors. If a higher input
voltage is required, these capacitors have to be adjusted accordingly.

8.3.3 Typical Application for Laser Diode Bias
Laser diode bias typically requires a voltage of about -1 V from a 3.3 V supply. The TPS63710 was optimized for
these operating conditions. The passive components have been chosen for a fixed supply voltage of 3.3 V. The
number of the input, output and CCP capacitors have been adjusted for the input and output voltage in this
application.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The power supply to the TPS63710 needs to have a current rating according to the input supply voltage, output
voltage and output current of the TPS63710. The peak current requirement on the input depends on the duty
cycle, as CCP is charged during the off-time. Worst case is for the maximum duty cycle of 70% when the OFFtime is at its shortest value of 30%. The peak current on the input can be up to 5 times of the average output
current. A proper input capacitor needs to be placed directly at the VIN and GND pins to supply the peak current
demand of the converter. Slew rates faster than 1 V/µs for a VIN step of less than 1 V and 0.1 V/µs for a VIN step
over the full input voltage range up to 14 V should be avoided, as this leads to a large inrush current through the
CCP capacitor and HSD.
When the input supply of TPS63710 is shorted while the device is enabled, the charge stored on the CCP
capacitor is transferred to the output. This may cause an output voltage undershoot. It is recommended to
disable the TPS63710 by setting the EN pin to low while the supply voltage is within the recommended input
voltage range. This ensures a proper shutdown.

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 paths, and for the power-ground
tracks. The input, output and CP capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the IC. Because CVAUX
carries the peak currents of the gate control block, it should have a compact and direct routing to the VAUX and
GND pin 10, staying away from sensitive signals. The CAP, FB, and VREF pins should all be routed close to the
IC in order to keep them away from external noise. The total resistance of the voltage divider R1 + R2 must be
kept in the range as defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions.
The pinout of the device has been defined such that the external components can be placed directly at the pins
to allow for a simplified external layout and good performance. Thermal and electrical vias should be used under
the exposed thermal pad to the GND plane.
