This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Compared to the TPS65160 and TPS65160A the TPS65161/A/B family of devices offer increased step-down
converter output current. The TPS65161B also offers increased charge pump output current, and a higher
undervoltage lockout threshold. The devices can be powered from a 12-V input supply and generate the four
main supply voltages required by TFT LCD display panels.
Each device comprises a boost converter to generate the source voltage VS, a step-down converter to generate
the logic supply V(LOGIC), and regulated positive and negative charge pumps to generate the TFT bias voltages
VGH and VGL. Both switching converters and both charge pumps operate from a central clock that can be set to
either 750-kHz or 500-kHz by tying the FREQ pin high or low.
The TPS65161/A/B devices feature adjustable power supply sequencing, plus a number of safety features such
as boost converter overvoltage protection, buck converter short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. The
devices also incorporate a gate drive signal to control an external MOSFET isolation switch connected in series
with VS or VGH (see the application section at the end of this data sheet for more information).

For the most current package and ordering information, see the Package Option Addendum at the end of this document, or see the TI
Web site at www.ti.com.
Because of the charge pumps' 50% duty cycle, the maximum current available from VGH and VGL in typical applications is equal to
approximately half the charge pump current limit.
The PWP package is available taped and reeled. Add R-suffix to the device type (TPS65161PWPR) to order the device taped and
reeled. The TPS65161PWPR package has quantities of 2000 devices per reel. Without suffix, the TPS65161PWP is shipped in tubes
with 50 devices per tube.

PIN FUNCTIONS
PIN
NAME
NO.
I/O
DESCRIPTION
SUP
8
I
This is the supply pin of the positive charge pump driver and can be connected to the input supply VIN or the
output of the main boost converter VS. This depends mainly on the desired output voltage VGH and numbers of
charge pump stages.
FREQ
12
I
Frequency adjust pin. This pin allows setting the switching frequency with a logic level to 500 kHz = low and
750 kHz = high.
AVIN
22
I
Analog input voltage of the device. This is the input for the analog circuits of the device and should be bypassed
with a 1-μF ceramic capacitor for good filtering.
VINB
20, 21
I
Power input voltage pin for the buck converter.
EN1
16
I
This is the enable pin of the buck converter and negative charge pump. When this pin is pulled high, the buck
converter starts up, and after a delay time set by DLY1, the negative charge pump comes up. This pin must be
terminated and not be left floating. A logic high enables the device and a logic low shuts down the device.
EN2
9
I
The boost converter starts only with EN1 = high, after the step-down converter is enabled. EN2 is the enable pin
of the boost converter and positive charge pump. When this pin is pulled high, the boost converter and positive
charge pump starts up after the buck converter is within regulation and a delay time set by DLY2 has passed by.
This pin must be terminated and not be left floating. A logic high enables the device and a logic low shuts down
the device.
DRN
11
O
Drive pin of the negative charge pump.
FBN
13
I
Feedback pin of negative charge pump.
REF
24
O
Internal reference output typically 1.213 V. A 220-nF capacitor needs to be connected to this pin.
PGND
6, 7
SS
28
O
This pin allows setting the soft-start time for the main boost converter VS. Typically a 22-nF capacitor needs to be
connected to this pin to set the soft-start time.
DLY1
25
O
Connecting a capacitor from this pin to GND allows the setting of the delay time between V(LOGIC) (step-down
converter output high) to VGL during start-up.
DLY2
26
O
Connecting a capacitor from this pin to GND allows the setting of the delay time between V(LOGIC) (step-down
converter output high) to VS boost converter and positive charge-pump VGH during start-up.

This is the gate drive pin which can be used to control an external MOSFET switch to provide input to output
isolation of VS or VGH. See the circuit diagrams at the end of this data sheet. GD is an open-drain output and is
latched low as soon as the boost converter is within 8% of its nominal regulated output voltage. GD goes high
impedance when the EN2 input voltage is cycled low.
GND
23
Analog ground
OS
3
I
Output sense pin. The OS pin is connected to the internal rectifier switch and overvoltage protection comparator.
This pin needs to be connected to the output of the boost converter and cannot be connected to any other voltage
rail. Connect a 470-nF capacitor from OS pin to GND to avoid noise coupling into this pin. The PCB trace of the
OS pin needs to be wide because it conducts high current.
FB

I
Feedback of the main boost converter generating Vsource (VS).
SW
4, 5
I
Switch pin of the boost converter generating Vsource (VS).
Power ground
This is the compensation pin for the main boost converter. A small capacitor and, if required, a resistor is
connected to this pin.
Not connected
I
N-channel MOSFET gate drive voltage for the buck converter. Connect a capacitor from the switch node SWB to
this pin.
14

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Boost Converter
The main boost converter operates in pulse-width modulation (PWM) and at a fixed switching frequency of
500 kHz or 750 kHz set by the FREQ pin. The converter uses an unique fast response, voltage-mode controller
scheme with input voltage feedforward. This achieves excellent line and load regulation (0.03%-A load regulation
typical) and allows the use of small external components. To add higher flexibility to the selection of external
component values, the device uses external loop compensation. Although the boost converter looks like a
nonsynchronous boost converter topology operating in discontinuous conduction mode at light load, the
TPS65161 maintains continuous conduction even at light-load currents. This is achieved with a novel architecture
using an external Schottky diode with an integrated MOSFET in parallel connected between SW and OS. See
the Functional Block Diagram. The intention of this MOSFET is to allow the current to go negative that occurs at
light-load conditions. For this purpose, a small integrated P-Channel MOSFET with typically 10-Ω rDS(on) is
sufficient. When the inductor current is positive, the external Schottky diode with the lower forward voltage
conducts the current. This causes the converter to operate with a fixed frequency in continuous conduction mode
over the entire load current range. This avoids the ringing on the switch pin as seen with standard
nonsynchronous boost converter and allows a simpler compensation for the boost converter.
Soft Start (Boost Converter)
The main boost converter has an adjustable soft start to prevent high inrush current during start-up. The soft-start
time is set by the external capacitor connected to the SS pin. The capacitor connected to the SS pin is charged
with a constant current that increases the voltage on the SS pin. The internal current limit is proportional to the
voltage on the soft-start pin. When the threshold voltage of the internal soft-start comparator is reached, the full
current limit is released. The larger the soft-start capacitor value, the longer the soft-start time.
Overvoltage Protection of the Boost Converter
The main boost converter has an overvoltage protection to protect the main switch Q2 at pin (SW) in case the
feedback (FB) pin is floating or shorted to GND. In such an event, the output voltage rises and is monitored with
the overvoltage protection comparator over the OS pin. See the functional block diagram. As soon as the
comparator trips at typically 20 V, TPS65161, the boost converter turns the N-Channel MOSFET switch off. The
output voltage falls below the overvoltage threshold and the converter continues to operate.
Frequency Select Pin (FREQ)
The frequency select pin (FREQ) allows setting the switching frequency of the entire device to 500 kHz (FREQ =
low) or 750 kHz (FREQ = high). A lower switching frequency gives a higher efficiency with a slightly reduced load
transient regulation.
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent damage caused by excessive heat and power dissipation.
Typically, the thermal shutdown threshold is 155°C.
Step-Down Converter
The nonsynchronous step-down converter operates at a fixed switching frequency using a fast response voltage
mode topology with input voltage feedforward. This topology allows simple internal compensation, and it is
designed to operate with ceramic output capacitors. The converter drives an internal 3.2-A N-channel MOSFET
switch. The MOSFET driver is referenced to the switch pin SWB. The N-channel MOSFET requires a gate drive
voltage higher than the switch pin to turn the N-Channel MOSFET on. This is accomplished by a bootstrap gate
drive circuit running of the step-down converter switch pin. When the switch pin SWB is at ground, the bootstrap
capacitor is charged to 8 V. This way, the N-channel gate drive voltage is typically around 8 V.

Soft Start (Step-Down Converter)
To avoid high inrush current during start-up, an internal soft start is implemented in the TPS65161. When the
step-down converter is enabled over EN1, its reference voltage slowly rises from zero to its power-good
threshold of typically 90% of Vref . When the reference voltage reaches this power-good threshold, the error
amplifier is released to its normal operation at its normal duty cycle. To further limit the inrush current during soft
start, the converter frequency is set to 1/4th of the switching frequency fs and then ½ of fs determined by the
comparator that monitors the feedback voltage. See the internal block diagram. Soft start is typically completed
within 1 ms.
Short-Circuit Protection (Step-Down Converter)
To limit the short-circuit current, the device has a cycle-by-cycle current limit. To avoid the short-circuit current
rising above the internal current limit when the output is shorted to GND, the switching frequency is reduced as
well. This is implemented by two comparators monitoring the feedback voltage. The step-down converter
switching frequency is reduced to ½ of fs when the feedback is below 0.9 V and to 1/4th of the switching
frequency when the feedback voltage is below 0.6 V.
Positive Charge Pump
The positive charge pump provides a regulated output voltage set by the external resistor divider. Figure 16
shows an extract of the positive charge-pump driver circuit. The operation of the charge-pump driver can be
understood best with Figure 16. During the first cycle, Q3 is turned on and the flying capacitor Cfly charges to the
source voltage, VS. During the next clock cycle, Q3 is turned off and the current source charges the drive pin,
DRP, up to the supply voltage, V(SUP). Because the flying capacitor voltage sits on top of the drive pin voltage,
the maximum output voltage is V(SUP) +VS. The SUP pin can be connected either to the input voltage VIN of the
TPS65161 or the output voltage of the main boost converter VS.

Negative Charge Pump
The negative charge pump provides a regulated output voltage set by the external resistor divider. The negative
charge pump operates similar to the positive charge pump with the difference that it runs from the input voltage
VIN. The negative charge pump driver inverts the input voltage. The maximum negative output voltage is VGL =
(–VIN) + Vdrop. Vdrop is the voltage drop across the external diodes and internal charge-pump MOSFETs. In case
VGL needs to be lower than –VIN, an additional charge-pump stage needs to be added.

The lower feedback resistor value, R4, should be in a range between 40 kΩ to 120 kΩ or the overall feedback
resistance should be within 500 kΩ to 1 MΩ. Smaller values load the reference too heavily, and larger values
may cause stability problems. The negative charge pump requires two external Schottky diodes. The peak
current rating of the Schottky diode has to be twice the load current of the output. For a 20-mA output current,
the dual-Schottky diode BAV99 is a good choice.
Power-On Sequencing (EN1, EN2, DLY1, DLY2)
The TPS65161 has an adjustable power-on sequencing set by the capacitors connected to DLY1 and DLY2 and
controlled by EN1 and EN2. Pulling EN1 high enables the step-down converter and then the negative chargepump driver. DLY1 sets the delay time between the step-down converter and negative charge-pump driver. EN2
enables the boost converter and positive charge-pump driver at the same time. DLY2 sets the delay time
between the step-down converter V(LOGIC) and the boost converter VS. This is especially useful to adjust the delay
when EN2 is always connected to VIN. If EN2 goes high after the step-down converter is already enabled, then
the delay DLY2 starts when EN2 goes high. See Figure 17 and Figure 18.

Connecting an external capacitor to the DLY1 and DLY2 pins sets the delay time. If no delay time is required,
these pins can be left open. To set the delay time, the external capacitor connected to DLY1 and DLY2 is
charged with a constant current source of typically 4.8 μA. The delay time is terminated when the capacitor
voltage has reached the internal reference voltage of Vref = 1.213 V. The external delay capacitor is calculated:

This is an open-drain output that goes low when the boost converter, VS, is within regulation. The gate drive pin
GD remains low until the input voltage or enable EN2 is cycled to ground.
Undervoltage Lockout
To avoid incorrect operation of the device at low input voltages, an undervoltage lockout is included which shuts
down the device at voltages lower than 6 V.
Input Capacitor Selection
For good input voltage filtering, low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. The TPS65161 has an analog
input, AVIN, and two input pins for the buck converter VINB. A 1-μF input capacitor should be connected directly
from the AVIN to GND. Two 22-μF ceramic capacitors are connected in parallel from the buck converter input
VINB to GND. For better input voltage filtering, the input capacitor values can be increased. See Table 1 and the
Application Information section for input capacitor recommendations.

Boost Converter Design Procedure
The first step in the design procedure is to verify whether the maximum possible output current of the boost
converter supports the specific application requirements. A simple approach is to use the converter efficiency, by
taking the efficiency numbers from the provided efficiency curves or to use a worst-case assumption for the
expected efficiency, e.g., 80%.

fs = converter switching frequency (typical 500 kHz/750 kHz)
L = Selected inductor value
η = Estimated converter efficiency (use the number from the efficiency curves or 0.8 as an estimation)
The peak switch current is the steady-state peak switch current that the integrated switch, inductor, and external
Schottky diode must be able to handle. The calculation must be done for the minimum input voltage where the
peak switch current is highest.
Inductor Selection (Boost Converter)
The TPS65161 operates typically with a 10-μH inductor. Other possible inductor values are 6.8-μH or 22-μH. The
main parameter for the inductor selection is the saturation current of the inductor, which should be higher than
the peak switch current as previously calculated, with additional margin to cover for heavy load transients. The
alternative, more conservative approach, is to choose the inductor with saturation current at least as high as the
typical switch current limit of 3.5 A. The second important parameter is the inductor dc resistance. Usually, the
lower the dc resistance the higher the efficiency. The efficiency difference between different inductors can vary
between 2% to 10%. Possible inductors are shown in Table 2.

Output Capacitor Selection (Boost Converter)
For best output voltage filtering, a low ESR output capacitor is recommended. Ceramic capacitors have a low
ESR value and work best with the TPS65161. Usually, three 22-μF ceramic output capacitors in parallel are
sufficient for most applications. If a lower voltage drop during load transients is required, more output
capacitance can be added. See Table 3 for the selection of the output capacitor.

Rectifier Diode Selection (Boost Converter)
To achieve high efficiency, a Schottky diode should be used. The reverse voltage rating should be higher than
the maximum output voltage of the converter. The average rectified forward-current rating needed for the
Schottky diode is calculated as the off-time of the converter times the maximum switch current of the TPS65161:

2.8 A with lsw + minimum switch current of the TPS65161 (2.8 A).
Usually, a Schottky diode with 2-A maximum average rectified forward-current rating is sufficient for most
applications. Secondly, the Schottky rectifier has to be able to dissipate the power. The dissipated power is the
average rectified forward current times the diode forward voltage.
PD = Iavg × VF = Isw × (1 - D) × VF (with Isw = minimum switch current of the TPS65161 (2.8 A).

Across the upper resistor, a bypass capacitor is required to achieve a good load transients response and to have
a stable converter loop. Together with R1, the bypass capacitor Cƒƒ sets a zero in the control loop. Depending
on the inductor value, the zero frequency needs to be set. For a 6.8-μH or 10-μH inductor, fz = 10 kHz and for a
22-μH inductor, fz = 7 kHz.

Compensation (COMP) (Boost Converter)
The regulator loop can be compensated by adjusting the external components connected to the COMP pin. The
COMP pin is the output of the internal transconductance error amplifier. A single capacitor connected to this pin
sets the low-frequency gain. Usually, a 22-nF capacitor is sufficient for most of the applications. Adding a series
resistor sets an additional zero and increases the high-frequency gain. The following formula calculates at what
