DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
TPS65258 is a power management IC with three step-down buck converters. Both high-side and low-side
MOSFETs are integrated to provide fully synchronous conversion with higher efficiency. The converters are
designed to simplify its application while giving the designer the option to optimize their usage according to the
target application.
The converters can operate in 5-, 9-, 12- or 15-V systems. The output voltage can be set externally using a
resistor divider to any value between 0.8 V and the input supply minus the resistive drops on the converter path.
Each converter features enable pin that allows a delayed start-up for sequencing purposes, soft start pin that
allows adjustable soft-start time by choosing the soft-start capacitor, and a current limit (RLIM) pin that enables
designer to adjust current limit by selecting an external resistor and optimize the choice of inductor. All converters
operate in ‘hiccup mode’: Once an over-current lasting more than 10 ms is sensed in any of the converters, they
will shut down for 10 ms and then the start-up sequencing will be tried again. If the overload has been removed,
the converter will ramp up and operate normally. If this is not the case the converter will see another over-current
event and shuts down again repeating the cycle (hiccup) until the failure is cleared. If an overload condition lasts
for less than 10 ms, only the relevant converter affected will shut-down and re-start and no global hiccup mode
will occur.
The switching frequency of the converters is set by an external resistor connected to ROSC pin. The switching
regulators are designed to operate from 300 kHz to 2.2 MHz. The converters operate with 180° phase between
then to minimize the input filter requirements. All converters have peak current mode control which simplifies
external frequency compensation.
The device has a built-in slope compensation ramp to prevent sub harmonic oscillations in peak current mode
control. A traditional type II compensation network can stabilize the system and achieve fast transient response.
Moreover, an optional capacitor in parallel with the upper resistor of the feedback divider provides one more zero
and makes the crossover frequency over 100 kHz.
All converters feature an automatic low power pulse PFM skipping mode which improves efficiency during light
loads and standby operation, while guaranteeing a very low output ripple, allowing for a value of less than 2% at
low output voltages.

The device incorporates an overvoltage transient protection circuit to minimize voltage overshoot. The OVP
feature minimizes the output overshoot by implementing a circuit to compare the FB pin voltage to OVP threshold
which is 109% of the internal voltage reference. If the FB pin voltage is greater than the OVTP threshold, the
high side MOSFET is disabled preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output overshoot.
When the FB voltage drops lower than the OVP lower threshold which is 107%, the high side MOSFET is
allowed to turn on the next clock cycle.
TPS65258 features a supervisor circuit which monitors each buck’s output and the PGOOD pin is asserted once
sequencing is done. The PGOOD pin is an open drain output. The PGOOD pin is pulled low when any buck
converter is pulled below 85% of the nominal output voltage. The PGOOD is pulled up when all converter outputs
are more than 90% of its nominal output voltage. The default reset time is 100 ms. The polarity of the PGOOD is
active high.
The 2 USB switches provide up to 1-A of current as required by downstream USB devices. When the output load
exceeds the current-limit threshold or a short is present, the PMU limits the output current to a safe level by
switching into a constant-current mode and pulling the over current logic output low. When continuous heavy
overloads and short circuits increase the power dissipation in the switch, causing the junction temperature to rise,
a thermal warning protection circuit shuts off the USB switch and allows the buck converters to carry on
operating.
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 160°C.
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop operating when the junction temperature exceeds thermal trip
threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 140°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence. The
thermal shutdown hysteresis is 20°C.

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.

Bootstrap Capacitor
The device has two integrated boot regulators and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the BST and LX
pins to provide the gate drive voltage for the high side MOSFET. The value of the ceramic capacitor should be
0.047 µF. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric is recommended because of the stable
characteristics over temperature and voltage.
Soft-Start Time
The device has an internal pull-up current source of 5 µA that charges an external soft-start capacitor to
implement a slow start time. Equation 7 shows how to select a soft-start capacitor based on an expected slow
start time. The voltage reference (VREF) is 0.8 V and the soft-start charge current (Iss) is 5 µA. The soft-start
circuit requires 1 nF per around 167 µs to be connected at the SS pin. A 0.8-ms soft-start time is implemented for
all converters fitting 4.7 nF to the relevant SS pin.
( )
Css(nF)
Tss(ms) = VREF(V) · Iss(µA)
(7)
The Power Good circuit for the bucks has a 10-ms watchdog. Therefore the soft-start time should be lower than
this value. It is recommended not to exceed 5 ms.

Delayed Start-Up
If a delayed start-up is required on any of the buck converters fit a ceramic capacitor to the ENx pins. The delay
added is ~1.67 ms per nF connected to the pin. Note that the EN pins have a weak 1-MΩ pull-up to the 3V3 rail.

Out-of-Phase Operation
In order to reduce input ripple current, Buck1 and Buck2 operate 180° out-of-phase. This enables the system
having less input ripple, then to lower component cost, save board space and reduce EMI.
Adjusting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the FB pin. It is recommended to use 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. In order to improve efficiency at light load, start with a value close to 40 kΩ
for the R1 resistor and use Equation 8 to calculate R2.

Loop Compensation
TPS65258 is a current mode control DC/DC converter. The error amplifier is a transconductance amplifier with a
gM of 130 µA/V. A typical compensation circuit could be type II (Rc and Cc) to have a phase margin between 60°
and 90°, or type III (Rc and Cc and Cff to improve the converter transient response. CRoll adds a high frequency
pole to attenuate high-frequency noise when needed. It may also prevent noise coupling from other rails if there
is possibility of cross coupling in between rails when layout is very compact.

To calculate the external compensation components follow the following steps:
TYPE II CIRCUIT
Select switching frequency that is appropriate for
application depending on L, C sizes, output ripple, EMI
concerns and etc. Switching frequencies around 500 kHz
yield best trade off between performance and cost. When
using smaller L and C, switching frequency can be
increased. To optimize efficiency, switching frequency can
be lowered.
Use type III circuit for switching
frequencies higher than 500 kHz.
Select cross over frequency (fc) to be at least 1/5 to 1/10 of
switching frequency (fs).
Suggested
fc = fs/10

Slope Compensation
The device has a built-in slope compensation ramp. The slope compensation can prevent sub harmonic
oscillations in peak current mode control.
Power Good
The PGOOD pin is an open drain output. The PGOOD pin is pulled low when any buck converter is pulled below
85% of the nominal output voltage. The PGOOD is pulled up when both buck converters’ outputs are more than
90% of its nominal output voltage.
The default reset time is 100 ms. The polarity of the PGOOD is active high.
Current Limit Protection
The TPS65258 current limit trip is set by the following formulae:

All converters operate in hiccup mode: Once an over-current lasting more than 10 ms is sensed in any of the
converters, they will shut down for 10 ms and then the start-up sequencing will be tried again. If the overload has
been removed, the converter will ramp up and operate normally. If this is not the case the converter will see
another over-current event and shuts-down again repeating the cycle (hiccup) until the failure is cleared.
If an overload condition lasts for less than 10 ms, only the relevant converter affected will shut-down and re-start
and no global hiccup mode will occur.
Overvoltage Transient Protection
The device incorporates an overvoltage transient protection (OVP) circuit to minimize voltage overshoot. The
OVP feature minimizes the output overshoot by implementing a circuit to compare the FB pin voltage to OVTP
threshold which is 109% of the internal voltage reference. If the FB pin voltage is greater than the OVTP
threshold, the high side MOSFET is disabled preventing current from flowing to the output and minimizing output
overshoot. When the FB voltage drops lower than the OVTP threshold which is 107%, the high side MOSFET is
allowed to turn on the next clock cycle.

Low Power/Pulse Skipping Operation
When a buck synchronous converter operates at light load or standby conditions, the switching losses are the
dominant source of power losses. Under these load conditions, TPS65258 uses a pulse skipping modulation
technique to reduce the switching losses by keeping the power transistors in the off-state for several switching
cycles, while maintaining a regulated output voltage. Figure 43 shows the output voltage and load plus the
inductor current.
VOUT
IL
Burst
Skipping
IOUT
Figure 43. Low Power/Pulse Skipping
During the burst mode, the converter continuously charges up the output capacitor until the output voltage
reaches a certain limit threshold. The operation of the converter in this interval is equivalent to the peak inductor
current mode control. In each switch period, the main switch is turned on until the inductor current reaches the
peak current limit threshold. As the load increases the number of pulses increases to make sure that the output
voltage stays within regulation limits. When the load is very light the low power controller has a zero crossing
detector to allow the low side mosfet to operate even in light load conditions. The transistor is not disabled at
light loads. A zero crossing detection circuit will disable it when inductor current reverses. During the whole
process the body diode does not conduct but is used as blocking diode only.
During the skipping interval, the upper and lower transistors are turned off and the converter stays in idle mode.
The output capacitors are discharged by the load current until the moment when the output voltage drops to a
low threshold.
The choice of output filter will influence the performance of the low power circuit. The maximum ripple during low
power mode can be calculated as:
K T
VOUT _ RIPPLE = RIP S

USB Switches
The USB switches are enabled (active high) with the USB_ENx pin. The switches have a typical resistance of
120 mΩ and has a fold-back current limit that is typically 25% lower than the overcurrent detection point. If a
continuous short-circuit condition is applied to one USB switch output, the USB switches will shut-down once its
temperature reaches 130°C, allowing for the buck converters to operate unaffected. Once the USB switch cools
down it will restart automatically.

Power Dissipation
The total power dissipation inside TPS65258 should not to exceed the maximum allowable junction temperature
of 125°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the thermal resistance of the package (RJA)
and ambient temperature. To calculate the temperature inside the device under continuous loading use the
following procedure:
1. Define the set voltage for each converter.
2. Define the continuous loading on each converter. Make sure do not exceed the converter maximum loading..
3. Determine from the graphs below the expected losses in watts per converter inside the device. The losses
depend on the input supply, the selected switching frequency, the output voltage and the converter chosen.

4. Add additional losses due to the operation of the USB switches.
5. To calculate the maximum temperature inside the IC use the following formula:
THOT_SPOT = TA + PDIS x ѲJA
(14)
Where:
TA is the ambient temperature
PDIS is the sum of losses in all converters
ѲJA is the junction to ambient thermal impedance of the device and it is heavily dependant on board layout
Thermal Shutdown
The device implements an internal thermal shutdown to protect itself if the junction temperature exceeds 160°C.
The thermal shutdown forces the device to stop switching when the junction temperature exceeds thermal trip
threshold. Once the die temperature decreases below 140°C, the device reinitiates the power up sequence. The
thermal shutdown hysteresis is 20°C.
3.3-V and 6.5 LDO Regulators
The following ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R) should be connected as close as possible to the described pins:
• 4.7 µF to 10 µF for V7V pin 28
• 3.3 µF or larger for V3V pin 29

Layout Recommendation
Layout is a critical portion of PMIC designs.
• Place tracing for output voltage and LX on the top layer and an inner power plane for VIN.
• Fit also on the top layer connections for the remaining pins of the PMIC and a large top side area filled with
ground.
• The top layer ground area should be connected to the internal ground layer(s) using vias at the input bypass
capacitor, the output filter capacitor and directly under the TPS65258 device to provide a thermal path from
the PowerPad land to ground.
• For operation at full rated load, the top side ground area together with the internal ground plane, must provide
adequate heat dissipating area.
• There are several signals paths that conduct fast changing currents or voltages that can interact with stray
inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise or degrade the power supplies performance. To help
eliminate these problems, the VIN pin should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass
capacitor with X5R or X7R dielectric. Care should be taken to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass
capacitor connections, the VIN pins, and the ground connections. Since the LX connection is the switching
node, the output inductor should be located close to the LX pins, and the area of the PCB conductor
minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling.
• The output filter capacitor ground should use the same power ground trace as the VIN input bypass capacitor.
Try to minimize this conductor length while maintaining adequate width.
• The compensation should be as close as possible to the CMPx pins. The CMPx and ROSC pins are sensitive
to noise so the components associated to these pins should be located as close as possible to the IC and
routed with minimal lengths of trace.
