SLVSC15H – MAY 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2021
5 Description (Continued)
The device includes one high-voltage buck controller for preregulation combined with two buck and one boost
converters for postregulation. A further integrated low-dropout regulator (LDO) rounds up the power supply
concept and offers a flexible system design with five independent voltage rails. The device offers a low power
state (LPM0 with all rails off) to reduce current consumption in case the system is constantly connected to the
battery line. All outputs are protected against overload and overtemperature.
An external PMOS protection feature makes the device capable of sustaining voltage transients up to 80 V. This
external PMOS can also be used in safety-critical applications to protect the system in case one of the rails
shows a malfunction (undervoltage, overvoltage, or overcurrent).
Internal soft start ensures controlled start-up for all supplies. Each power supply output has adjustable output
voltage based on the external resistor network settings.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The device includes one high-voltage buck controller for pre-regulation combined with a two-buck and one-boost
converter for post regulation. A further integrated low-dropout (LDO) regulator rounds up the power-supply
concept and offers a flexible system design with five independent-voltage rails. The device offers a low power
state (LPM0 with all rails off) to reduce current consumption in case the system is constantly connected to the
battery line. All outputs are protected against overload and over temperature. An external PMOS protection
feature makes the device capable of sustaining voltage transients up to 80 V. This external PMOS is also used
in safety-critical applications to protect the system in case one of the rails shows a malfunction (undervoltage,
overvoltage, or overcurrent).
Internal soft-start ensures controlled startup for all supplies. Each power-supply output has an adjustable output
voltage based on the external resistor-network settings.

(RAMP, ACTIVE)

8.3.1.2 Normal Mode PWM Operation
The main buck controller operates using constant frequency peak current mode control. The output voltage is
programmable with external resistors.
The switching frequency is set to a fixed value of ƒSWBUCK1. Peak current-mode control regulates the peak
current through the inductor such that the output voltage VBUCK1 is maintained to its set value. Current mode
control allows superior line-transient response. The error between the feedback voltage VSENSE1 and the
internal reference produces an error signal at the output of the error amplifier (COMP1) which serves as target
for the peak inductor current. At S1–S2, the current through the inductor is sensed as a differential voltage and
compared with this target during each cycle. A fall or rise in load current produces a rise or fall in voltage at
VSENSE1, which causes COMP1 to rise or fall respectively, thus increasing or decreasing the current through
the inductor until the average current matches the load. In this way the output voltage VBUCK1 is maintained in
regulation.

SLVSC15H – MAY 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2021
The high-side N-channel MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of each clock cycle and kept on until the
inductor current reaches its peak value as set by the voltage loop. Once the high external FET is turned OFF,
and after a small delay (shoot-through delay), the lower N-channel MOSFET is turned on until the start of the
next clock cycle. In dropout operation the high-side MOSFET stays on 100%. In every fourth period the duty
cycle is limited to 95% in order to charge the bootstrap capacitor at BOOT1. This allows a maximum duty cycle
of 98.75%.
The maximum value of COMP1 is clamped so that the maximum current through the inductor is limited to a
specified value. The BUCK1 controller output voltage is monitored by a central independent voltage-monitoring
circuit, which has an independent voltage-monitoring bandgap reference for safety reasons. In addition, BUCK1
is thermally protected with a dedicated temperature sensor.
8.3.2 Synchronous Buck Converters Buck2 And Buck3
Both regulators are synchronous converters operating with a fixed switching frequency ƒSW = 0.98 MHz. For
each buck converter, the output voltage is programmable with external resistors. The synchronous operation
mode improves the overall efficiency. BUCK3 switches in phase with BUCK1, and BUCK2 switches at a 216°
shift to BUCK3 to minimize input current ripple.
Each buck converter can provide a maximum current of 2 A and is protected against short circuits to ground.
In case of a short circuit to ground, the integrated cycle-by-cycle current limit turns off the high-side FET when
its current reaches IHS-Limit and the low-side FET is turned on until the end of the given cycle. When the current
limit is reached in the beginning of the cycle for five consecutive cycles, the pulse-width modulation (PWM) is
forced low for eight cycles to prevent uncontrolled current build-up. In case the low-side current limit of ILS-Limit is
reached, for example, due an output short to VSUP2/3, the low-side FET is turned off until the end of the cycle. If
this is detected shortly after the high-low PWM transition (immediately after the low-side overcurrent comparator
blanking time), both FETs are turned off for eight cycles.
The output voltages of BUCK2/3 regulators are monitored by a central independent voltage-monitoring circuit,
which has an independent voltage-monitoring bandgap reference for safety reasons. In addition BUCK2 and
BUCK3 are thermally protected with a dedicated temperature sensor.
8.3.3 BOOST Converter
The BOOST converter is an asynchronous converter operating with a fixed switching frequency ƒSW = 0.98 MHz.
It switches in phase with BUCK1. At low load, the boost regulator switches to pulse skipping.
The output voltage is programmable with external resistors.
The internal low-side switch can handle maximum 1-A current, and is protected with a current limit. In case of
an overcurrent, the integrated cycle-by-cycle current-limit turns off the low-side FET when the current reaches
ICLBOOST until the end of the given cycle. When the current-limit is reached in the beginning of the cycle for five
consecutive cycles, the PWM is forced low for eight cycles to prevent uncontrolled current build-up.
The BOOST converter output voltage is monitored by a central independent voltage-monitoring circuit, which has
an independent voltage-monitoring bandgap reference for safety reasons. If the VMONTH_L > VSENSE5 or VSENSE5
> VMONTH_H, the output is switched off and the BOOST_FAIL bit in the SPI PWR_STAT register is set. The
BOOST can be reactivated by setting BOOST_EN bit in the PWR_CONFIG register.
In addition, the BOOST converter is thermally protected with a dedicated temperature sensor. If TJ > TOTTH, the
BOOST converter is switched off and bit OT_BOOST in PWR_STAT register is set. Reactivation of the booster is
only possible if the OT_BOOST bit is 0, and the booster enable bit in the PWR_CONFIG register is set to 1.
8.3.4 Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum
The TPS65310A-Q1 features a frequency-hopping pseudo-random spectrum or triangular spreading
architecture. The pseudo-random implementation uses a linear feedback shift register that changes the
frequency of the internal oscillator based on a digital code. The shift register is designed in such a way that
the frequency shifts only by one step at each cycle to avoid large jumps in the buck and BOOST switching
frequencies. The triangular function uses an up-down counter. Whenever spread spectrum is enabled (SPI
command), the internal oscillator frequency is varied from one BUCK1 cycle to the next within a band of 0.8 x
fOSC ... fOSC from a total of 16 different frequencies. This means that BUCK3 and BOOST also step through 16

frequencies. The internal oscillator can also change its frequency during the period of BUCK2, yielding a total of
31 frequencies for BUCK2.
8.3.5 Linear Regulator LDO
The LDO is a low drop out regulator with an adjustable output voltage through an external resistive divider
network. The output has an internal current-limit protection in case of an output overload or short circuit to
ground. In addition, the output is protected against overtemperature. If TJ > TOTTH, the LDO is switched off and
bit OT_LDO in PWR_STAT register is set. Reactivation of the LDO is only possible through the SPI by setting
the LDO enable bit in the PWR_CONFIG register to 1 if the OT_LDO bit is 0.
The LDO output voltage is monitored by a central independent voltage-monitoring circuit, which has an
independent voltage-monitoring bandgap reference for safety reasons. If the VMONTH_L > VSENSE4 or VSENSE4
> VMONTH_H, the output is switched off and the LDO_FAIL bit in the SPI PWR_STAT register is set. The LDO can
be reactivated through the SPI by setting the LDO_EN bit in the PWR_CONFIG register. In case of overvoltage
in VTCHECK and RAMP mode, the GPFET is turned off and the device changes to ERROR mode.
8.3.6 Gate Driver Supply
The gate drivers of the BUCK1 controller, BUCK2 and BUCK3 converters and the BOOST converter are
supplied from an internal linear regulator. The internal linear regulator output (5.8-V typical) is available at the
VREG pin and must be decoupled using a typical 2.2-μF ceramic capacitor. This pin has an internal current-limit
protection and must not be used to power any other circuits.
The VREG linear regulator is powered from VINPROT by default when the EXTSUP voltage is lower than 4.6 V
(typical).
If the VINPROT is expected to go to high levels, there can be excessive power dissipation in this regulator when
using large external MOSFETs. In this case, it is advantageous to power this regulator from the EXTSUP pin,
which can be connected to a supply lower than VINPROT but high enough to provide the gate drive. When
EXTSUP is connected to a voltage greater than 4.6 V, the linear regulator automatically switches to EXTSUP
as its input to provide this advantage. This automatic switch-over to EXTSUP can only happen once the
TPS65310A-Q1 device reaches ACTIVE mode. Efficiency improvements are possible when one of the switching
regulator rails from the TPS65310A-Q1 device, or any other voltage available in the system is used to power
EXTSUP. The maximum voltage that must be applied to EXTSUP is 12 V.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 RESET
RESN and PRESN are open drain outputs which are active if one or more of the conditions listed in Table 8-1
are valid. RESN active (low) is extended for tRESNHOLD after a reset is triggered. RESN is the main processor
reset and also asserts PRESN as a peripheral signal.
PRESN is latched and is released when window trigger mode of the watchdog is enabled (first rising edge at WD
pin).
RESN and PRESN must keep the main processor and peripheral devices in a defined state during power up and
power down in case of improper supply voltages or a critical failure condition. Therefore, for low supply voltages
the topology of the reset outputs specify that RESN and PRESN are always held at a low level when RESN and
PRESN are asserted, even if VIN falls below VPOR or the device is in SHUTDOWN mode.

Watchdog window violation
Any reset event (without POR, thermal shutdown, or loss of LPM clock) increments the error counter (EC) by
one. After a reset is consecutively triggered NRES times, the device transfers to the LPM0 state, and the EC is
reset to 0. The counter is decremented by one if an SPI LPM0_CMD is received. Alternatively, the device can
be put in LOCK state once an SPI LOCK_CMD is received. Once the device is locked, it cannot be activated
again by a wake condition. The reset counter and lock function avoid cyclic start-up and shut-down of the device
in case of a persistent fault condition. The reset counter content is cleared with a POR condition, a thermal
shutdown or a loss of LPM clock. Once the device is locked, a voltage below VPOR at the VIN pin or a thermal
shutdown condition are the only ways to unlock the device.
8.4.2 Soft Start
The output voltage slopes of BUCK, BOOST and LDO regulators are limited during ramp-up (defined by tSTARTx).
During this period the target output voltage slowly settles to its final value, starting from 0 V. In consequence,
regulators that offer low-side transistors (BUCK1, BUCK2 and BUCK3) actively discharge their output rails to the
momentary ramp-value if previously charged to a higher value.
8.4.3 INIT
Coming from a power-on reset the device enters INIT mode. The configuration data from the EEPROM is loaded
in this mode. If the checksum is valid and the internal VREG monitor is indicating an undervoltage condition
(self-test VREG comparator), the device enters TESTSTART.
8.4.4 TESTSTART
TESTSTART mode is entered:
• After the INIT state (coming from power on)
• After detecting that VT > VTTH-H
• After ERROR mode and the fail condition is gone
• After a wake command in LPM0

In this mode the OV/UV comparators of BUCK1-3, BOOST, LDO and VIO are tested. The test is implemented in
such a way that during this mode all comparators have to deliver a 1 (fail condition). If this is the case the device
enters TESTSTOP mode.
If this is not the case, the device stays in TESTSTART. If the WAKE pin is low, the device enters LPM0 after
ttimeout. If the WAKE pin is high, the part stays in TESTSTART.
8.4.5 TESTSTOP
In this mode the OV/UV comparators are switched to normal operation. It is expected that only the UV
comparators give a fail signal. In case there is an OV condition on any rail or one of the rails has an
overtemperature the device stays in TESTSTOP. If the WAKE pin is low the device enters LPM0 mode after
ttimeout. If the WAKE pin is high, the part stays in TESTSTOP. If there is no overvoltage and overtemperature
detected, the part enters VTCHECK mode.
8.4.6 VTCHECK
VTCHECK mode is used to:
1. Switch on the external GPFET in case VIN < VOVTH_L
2. Turn on the VREG regulator and VT_REF
3. Check if the voltage on pin VT < VTTH-L
4. Check if the SMPS clock is running correctly
5. Check if the VREG,VT_REF exceeds the minimum voltage
If all checks are valid the part enters the RAMP state. In case the device is indicating a malfunction and the
WAKE pin is low, the device enters LPM0 after ttimeout to reduce current consumption.
In case the voltage monitors detect an overvoltage condition on BUCK1-3/LDO, a loss of GND or an
overtemperature condition on BUCK1-3 / VREG the device enters ERROR mode and the error counter is
increased.
8.4.7 RAMP
In this mode the device runs through the power-up sequencing of the SMPS rails (see Power-Up Sequencing).
8.4.8 Power-Up Sequencing
After the power-up sequence (described in Figure 8-4), all blocks are fully functional. BUCK1 starts first. After
tSEQ2 elapses and BUCK1 is above the undervoltage threshold, BUCK2 and BOOST start. BUCK3 and VREF
start one tSEQ1 after BUCK2. After the release of RESN pin, the µC can enable the LDO per SPI by setting bit 4
LDO_EN in PWR_CONFIG register to 1 (per default, this LDO_EN is set to 0 after each reset to the µC).
In case any of the conditions listed below happen during power-up sequencing, the device enters ERROR mode
and the error counter (EC) is increased:
• Overtemperature on BUCK1-3 or VREG
• Overvoltage on BUCK1-3 or LDO
• Overcurrent on BUCK1
• SMPS clock fail
• VT_REF/VREG undervoltage
• Loss of GND
In case VT > VTTH-H, the device transitions to TESTSTART.

voltage is first applied, the rising edge of the VIN pin initiates the start-up sequence even if WAKE is low, and
enters LPM0 mode if WAKE remains low through NRES timeout events.
Figure 8-4. Power-Up Sequencing
After the power-up sequence is completed (except LDO) without detecting an error condition, the device enters
ACTIVE mode.

8.4.9 Power-Down Sequencing
There is no dedicated power-down sequencing. All rails are switched off at the same time. The external
FETs of BUCK1 are switched off and the outputs of BUCK2/3/BOOST (PHx) and the LDO are switched in a
high-impedance state.
8.4.10 Active
This is the normal operating mode of the device. Transitions to other modes:
→ ERROR
The device is forced to go to ERROR in case of:
• Any RESET event (without watchdog reset)
• VREG/VREF/VT_REF below undervoltage threshold
• SMPS clock fail
During the transition to ERROR mode the EC is incremented.
→ LOCKED
In case a dedicated SPI command (SPI_LOCK_CMD) is issued.
→ TESTSTART
The device moves to TESTSTART after detecting that VT < VTTH-L.
→ LPM0
The device can be forced to enter LPM0 with a SPI LPM0 command. During this transition the EC is
decremented.
If the EC reaches the NRES value, the device transitions to LPM0 mode and EC is cleared. Depending on the
state of the WAKE pin, the device remains in LMP0 (WAKE pin low) or restart to TESTSTART (WAKE pin high).
To indicate the device entered LPM0 after EC reached NRES value, a status bit EC_OF (error counter overflow,
SYS_STAT bit 3) is set. The EC_OF bit is cleared on read access to the SYS_STAT register.
A watchdog reset in ACTIVE mode only increases the EC, but it does not change the device mode.
8.4.11 ERROR
In this mode all power stages and the GPFET are switched off. The devices leave ERROR mode and enter
TESTSTART if:
• All rails indicate an undervoltage condition
• No GND loss is detected
• No overtemperature condition is detected
When the EC reaches the NRES value, the device transitions to LPM0 and the EC is cleared. To indicate the
device entered LPM0 after EC reached NRES, a status bit EC_OF (error counter overflow, SYS_STAT bit 3) is
set. The EC_OF bit is cleared on read access to the SYS_STAT register.
8.4.12 LOCKED
Entering this mode disables the device. The only way to leave this mode is through a power-on reset, thermal
shutdown, or the loss of an LPM clock.
8.4.13 LPM0
Low-power mode 0 is used to reduce the quiescent current of the system when no functionality is needed. In this
mode the GPFET and all power rails except for DVDD are switched off.
In case a voltage > VWAKE_ON longer than tWAKE is detected on the WAKE pin, the part switches to TESTSTART
mode.

8.4.14 Shutdown
The device enters and stays in this mode, as long as TJ > TSDTH - TSDHY or VIN < VPOR or DVDD under or
overvoltage, or loss of low power clock is detected. Leaving this mode and entering INIT mode generates an
internal POR.
8.4.14.1 Power-On Reset Flag
The POR flag in the SYS_STAT SPI register is set:
• When VIN is below the VPOR threshold
• System is in thermal shutdown
• Over or undervoltage on DVDD
• Loss of low power clock
8.4.15 Wake Pin
Only when the device is in LPM0 mode, it can be activated by a positive voltage on the WAKE pin with a
minimum pulse width tWAKE. A valid wake condition is latched. Normal deactivation of the device can only occur
through the SPI Interface by sending an SPI command to enter LMP0. Once in LMP0, the device stays in LPM0
when the WAKE pin is low, or restarts to TESTSTART when the WAKE pin is high.
The WAKE pin has an internal pulldown resistance RPD-WAKE, and the voltage on the pin is not allowed to
exceed 60 V. A higher voltage compliance level in the application can be achieved by applying an external series
resistor between the WAKE pin and the external wake-up signal.
The device cannot be re-enabled by toggling the WAKE pin when the device is in LOCKED state (by SPI
command).

* GPFET is turned on in VTCHECK, RAMP, ACTIVE and if
VIN VTTH is detected on the VT pin, the
main switch (external PMOS driven by GPFET) is switched off. This functionality can be used to monitor over
and under temperature (using a NTC resistor) to avoid operation below or above device specifications.
If the voltage at VT_REF falls below VVT_REF SH while the shutdown comparator is enabled, an ERROR transition
occurs. The shutdown comparator is enabled in VTCHECK state, and can be turned off by SPI. Disabling the
comparator saves power by also disabling the VT_REF output.
8.4.25 LED And High-Side Switch Control
This module controls an external PMOS in current-limited high-side switch.
The current levels can be adjusted with an external sense resistor. Enable and disable is done with the HS_EN
bit. The switch is controlled by the HSPWM input pin. Driving HSPWM high turns on the external FET.
The device offers an open load diagnostic indicated by the HS_OL flag in the SPI register PWR_STAT. Open
load is also indicated in case the voltage on VINPROT–VSSENSE does not drop below the threshold when
PWM is low (self-test).
A counter monitors the overcurrent condition to detect the risk of overheating. While HSPWM = high and HS_EN
= high the counter is incremented during overcurrent conditions, and decremented if the current is below the
overcurrent threshold at a sampling interval of tS HS (shown in Figure 8-9). When reaching a net current limit
time of tHSS CL, the driver is turned off and the HS_EN bit is cleared. This feature can be disabled by SPI bit
HS_CLDIS. When HS_EN is cleared, the counter is reset.

8.4.26 Window Watchdog
WD in Operating Mode:
The WD is used to detect a malfunction of the MCU and DSP. Description:
• Timeout trigger mode with long timing starts on the rising edge at RESN
• Window trigger mode with fixed timing after the first and each subsequent rising edge at the WD pin
• Watchdog is triggered by rising edge at the WD pin
A watchdog reset happens by:
• A trigger pulse outside the WD trigger open window
• No trigger pulse during window time
After the RESN pin is released (rising edge) the DSP and MCU must trigger the WD by a rising edge on the WD
pin within a fixed time ttimeout. With this first trigger, the window watchdog functionality is released.

8.4.27 Timeout In Start-Up Modes
A timer is used to limit the time during which the device can stay in each of the start-up modes: TESTSTART,
TESTSTOP, VTCHECK and RAMP. If the device enters one of these start-up modes and VIN or VT is not in a
proper range, the part enters LPM0 after ttimeout is elapsed and the WAKE pin is low.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 SPI
The SPI provides a communication channel between the TPS65310A-Q1 device and a controller. The
TPS65310A-Q1 device is always the peripheral. The processor/MCU is always the controller . The SPI controller
selects the TPS65310A-Q1 device by setting CSN (chip select) to low. SDI (peripheral in) is the data input, SDO
(peripheral out) is the data output, and SCK (serial clock input) is the SPI clock provided by the controller. If chip
select is not active (high), the data output SDO is high impedance. Each communication consist of 16 bits.
1 bit parity (odd) (parity is built over all bits including: R/W, CMD_ID[5:0], DATA[7:0])
1 bit R/W; read = 0 and write = 1

Each command is valid if:
• A valid CMD_ID is sent
• The parity bit (odd) is correct
• Exactly 16 SPI clocks are counted between falling and rising edge of CSN
The response to each controller command is given in the following SPI cycle. The response address is the
CMD_ID of the previous sent message and the corresponding data byte. The response data is latched with the
previous cycle such that a response to a write command is the status of the register before the write access.
(Same response as a read access.) The response to an invalid command is the original command with the
correct parity bit. The response to an invalid number of SPI clock cycles is a SPI_SCK_FAIL communication
(CMD_ID = 0x03). Write access to a read-only register is not reported as an SPI error and is treated as a read
access. The initial answer after the first SPI command sent is: CMD_ID[5:0] = 0x3F and Data[7:0] 0x5A.
8.5.1.1 FSI Bit
The peripheral transmits an FSI bit between the falling edge of CSN and the rising edge of SCK. If the SDO line
is high during this time, a failure occurred in the system and the MCU must use the PWR_STAT to get the root
cause. A low level of SDO indicates normal operation of the device.
The FSI bit is set when: PWR_STAT ! = 0x00, or (SYS_STAT and 0x98) ! = 0x00, or SPI_STAT ! = 0x00. The FSI
is cleared when all status flags are cleared.

9 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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The TPS65310A-Q1 device is a multi-rail power supply including one buck controller, two buck converters, one
boost converter and one linear regulator (LDO). The buck controller is typically used to convert a higher car
battery voltage to a lower DC voltage which is then used as pre-regulated input supply for the buck converters,
boost converter, and the linear regulator. Use the following design procedure and application example to select
component values for the TPS65310A-Q1 device.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Adjusting the Output Voltage for the BUCK1 Controller
A resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE1 pin sets the output voltage. TI recommends using 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. Start with 16 kΩ for the R1 resistor and use Equation 1 to calculate R2 (see
Figure 9-1).
R2 =
R1 ´ (VBUCK1 - 0.8 V)
0.8 V
(1)
Therefore, for the value of VBUCK1 to equal to 3.8V, the value of R2 must be 60.4 kOhms.
For voltage monitoring of the BUCK1 output voltage, placing an additional resistive divider with the exact same
values from the output node to the VMON1 pin is recommended for safety reasons (see Figure 9-1). If no safety
standard must be fulfilled in the application, the VMON1 pin can be directly connected to VSENSE1 pin without
the need for this additional resistive divider.
9.2.1.2.2 Output Inductor, Sense Resistor and Capacitor Selection for the BUCK1 Controller
An external resistor senses the current through the inductor. The current sense resistor pins (S1 and S2) are
fed into an internal differential amplifier which supports the range of VBUCK1 voltages. The sense resistor RS
must be chosen so that the maximum forward peak current in the inductor generates a voltage of 75 mV across
the sense pins. This specified typical value is for low duty cycles only. At typical duty-cycle conditions around
28% (assuming 3.8-V output and 12-V input), 60 mV is a more reasonable value, considering tolerances and
mismatches. The typical characteristics (see Reduction of Current Limit vs Duty Cycle) provide a guide for using
the correct current-limit sense voltage.
RS =
60 mV
I max_ peak
(2)
Optimal slope compensation which is adaptive to changes in input voltage and duty cycle allows stable operation
at all conditions. In order to specify optimal performance of this circuit, the following condition must be satisfied in
the choice of inductor and sense resistor:
L = 410 ´ Rs
(3)
where
•
•
L = inductor in µH
Rs = sense resistor in Ω
The current sense pins S1 and S2 are high impedance pins with low leakage across the entire VBUCK1 range.
This allows DCR current sensing (see Detailed Block Diagram Of Buck 1 Controller) using the DC resistance of
the inductor for better efficiency.

9.2.1.2.3 Compensation of the Buck Controller
The main buck controller requires external type 2 compensation on pin COMP1 for normal mode operation. The
components can be calculated as follows.
1. Select a value for the bandwidth, FBW, to be between fSWBUCK1 / 6 (faster response) and fSWBUCK1 / 10 (more
conservative)
2. Use Equation 5 to select a value for R3 (see Figure 8-2).
R3 =
2p ´ FBW ´ VOUT1 ´ COUT1
gm ´ K CFB ´ VrefBUCK
(5)
where
• COUT1 is the load capacitance of BUCK1
• gm is the error amplifier transconductance
• KCFB = 0.125 / Rs
• VrefBUCK is the internal reference voltage
3. Use Equation 6 to select a value for C1 (in series with R3, see Figure 8-2) to set the zero frequency close to
FBW / 10.
C1 =
10
2p ´ R3 ´ FBW
(6)
4. Use Equation 7 to select a value for C2 (parallel with R3, C1, see Figure 8-2) to set the second pole below
fSWBUCK1 / 2
C2 =
1
2p ´ R3 ´ FBW ´ 3
(7)
For example:
fSWBUCK1 = 490 kHz, VrefBUCK = 0.8 V, FBW = 60 kHz
VOUT1 = 3.8 V, Cout 1 = 50 µF, Rs = 22 mΩ
Assuming capacitor de-rating, we select the below values:
C2 = 47pF
C1 = 0.0047uF
R3 = 8.25kOhms

Stability and load step response must be verified in measurements to fine tune the values of the compensation
components.
9.2.1.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor for the BUCK1 Controller
The BUCK1 controller requires a bootstrap capacitor. This bootstrap capacitor must be 0.1 μF. The bootstrap
capacitor is located between the PH1 pin and the BOOT1 pin (see Buck Controller Schematic). The bootstrap
capacitor must be a high-quality ceramic type with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability.

9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.2.1 Adjusting the Output Voltage for the BUCK2 and BUCK3 Converter
A resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE2 to ground respectively between the VSENSE3 to ground
pin sets the output voltage (see Figure 9-3). TI recommends using 1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start
by selecting 1.6 kΩ for the value of the Rx resistor between the VSENSE2 to ground respectively between the
VSENSE3 to ground pin VSENSE3 pin and use Equation 8 to calculate the value for the Ry resistor between
BUCK2 and BUCK3 output and the VSENSE2 to ground respectively between the VSENSE3 to ground pin.
Ry =
R x ´ (VBUCK2/3 - 0.8 V)
0.8 V
(8)
Therefore, for VBUCK2 to equal to 3.3 V, the value of Ry must be 4.99k. For VBUCK3 to equal to 1.2 V, the value of
Ry must be 806 Ohms.
For voltage monitoring of the BUCK2 and BUCK3 output voltage, placing an additional resistive divider with
exact same values from the output node to the VMON2 and VMON3 pins is recommended for safety reasons
(see Figure 9-3). If no safety standard must be fulfilled in the application, the VMON2 and VMON3 pins can be
directly connected to VSENSE2 and VSENSE3 pins without the need for this additional resistive divider.
9.2.2.2.2 Output Inductor Selection for the BUCK2 and BUCK3 Converter
The inductor value L depends on the allowed ripple current ΔIL_PP in the coil at chosen input voltage VIN and
output voltage VOUT, and given switching frequency fsw:
L=
VOUT ´ (VIN - VOUT )
DIL _ PP ´ VIN ´ fsw
(9)
For example:
VIN = 5 V
VOUT = 3.3 V
ΔIL_PP = 0.35 mA
fsw = 0.98 MHz
→ L ≈ 3.3 μH
9.2.2.2.3 Compensation of the BUCK2 and BUCK3 Converters
The regulators operate in forced continuous mode, and have internal frequency compensation. The frequency
response can be adjusted to the selected LC filter by setting the COMP2 and COMP3 pin low, high, or floating.
After selecting the output inductor value as previously described, the output capacitor must be chosen so that
the L × COUT × VBUCK2/3 product is equal to or less than one of the three values, as listed in Table 9-3.

Larger output capacitors can be used if a feed-forward capacitor is placed across the upper resistance, Ry, of
the feedback divider. This works effectively for output voltages > 2 V. With an RC product greater than 10 µs, the
effective VBUCK2/3 at higher frequencies can be assumed as 0.8 V, thus allowing an output capacitor increase by
a factor equal to the ratio of the output voltage to 0.8 V.
9.2.2.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor for the BUCK2/3 Converters
The BUCK2 and BUCK3 converters require a bootstrap capacitor. This bootstrap capacitor must be 0.1 μF.
The bootstrap capacitor is located between the PH2 pin and the BOOT2 pin and between the PH3 pin and
the BOOT3 pin (see Synchronous Buck Converter Schematic). The bootstrap capacitor must be a high-quality
ceramic type with X7R or X5R grade dielectric for temperature stability.

calculate Ry (see Figure 9-10).
Ry =
R x ´ (VBOOST - 0.8 V)

(10)
Therefore, for the value of VBOOST to equal to 5 V, the value of Ry must be 8.4 kΩ.

The inductor value L depends on the allowed ripple current ΔIL_PP in the coil at chosen input voltage VIN and
output voltage VOUT, and given switching frequency fsw:
L=
VIN ´ (VOUT - VIN )
DIL _ PP ´ VOUT ´ fsw
(11)
For example:
VIN = 3.3 V (from BUCK1)
VOUT = 5 V
ΔIL_PP = 200 mA (20% of 1-A peak current)
ƒsw = 0.98 MHz
→ L ≈ 4.7 μH
The capacitor value COUT must be selected such that the L-C double-pole frequency FLC is in the range of
10 kHz–15 kHz. The FLC is given by Equation 12:
FLC =
VIN
2 ´ p ´ VOUT ´ L ´ COUT
(12)
The right half-plane zero FRHPZ, as given in Equation 13, must be > 200 kHz:
FRHPZ =
2
VIN
> 200 kHz
2 ´ p L ´ IOUT ´ VOUT

•
IOUT represents the load current
If the condition FRHPZ > 200 kHz is not satisfied, L and therefore COUT have to be recalculated.
9.2.3.2.3 Compensation of the BOOST Converter
The BOOST converter requires an external R-C network for compensation (see Figure 9-10, COMP5). The
components can be calculated using Equation 14 and Equation 15:
æF ö
R = 120 ´ VIN ´ ç BW ÷
è FLC ø
C=
2
(14)
1
2 ´ p ´ R ´ FLC
(15)
where
•
•
FBW represents the bandwidth of the regulation loop, and must be set to 30 kHz
FLC represents the L-C double-pole frequency, as mentioned previously
For example:
VIN = 3.8 V
VOUT = 5 V
L = 4.7 μH
C = 54 uF
→ FLC = 7.6 kHz
FBW = 30 kHz
→R≈8k
→ C ≈ 2.7 nF
Stability and load step response must be verified in measurements to fine tune the values of the compensation
components. Like in this case, while fine tuning, it was observed on the EVM that using 12k as the compensation
resistance gave better load transient results and stability response than using 8k. The equations serve as a good
starting point for calculating compensation values.
9.2.3.2.4 Output Diode for the BOOST Converter
The BOOST converter requires an external output diode between the PH5 pin and VBOOST pin (see BOOST
Converter Schematic, component D2). The selected diode must have a reverse voltage rating equal to or greater
than the VBOOST output voltage. The peak current rating of the diode must be greater than the maximum
inductor current. The diode must also have a low forward voltage in order to reduce the power losses. Therefore,
Schottky diodes are typically a good choice for the catch diode.
Also, select a diode with an appropriate power rating, because the diode conducts the output current during the
off-time of the internal power switch.

A resistor divider from the output node to the VSENSE4 pin sets the output voltage. TI recommends using 1%
tolerance or better divider resistors. In order to get the minimum required load current of 1 mA for the linear
regulator, start with a value of 820 Ω for the Rx resistor and use Equation 16 to calculate Ry (see Figure 9-13).

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4 V and 40 V (see Figure 10-1
for reference). This input supply must be well regulated. In case the supply voltage in the application is likely
to exceed 40 V, the external PMOS protection device as explained in Section 8.4.19 must be applied between
VIN and VINPROT pins. Furthermore, if the supply voltage in the application is likely to reach negative voltage
(for example, reverse battery), a forward diode must be placed between the VSSENSE and VIN pins. A ceramic
bypass capacitor with a value of 100 μF (typical) is recommended to be placed close to the VINPROT pin.
For the VIN pin, a small ceramic capacitor of typical 1 µF is recommended. Also place 1-µF (typical) bypass
capacitors to the DVDD and VREF pins, and 100-nF (typical) bypass capacitors to VIO pin. Furthermore, the
VREG pin requires a bypass capacitor of 2.2 µF (typical).
The BUCK1 output voltage is the recommended input supply for the BUCK2, BUCK3, and BOOST regulators.
Place local, 10-µF (typical) bypass capacitors at the VSUP2 and VSUP3 pins and at the supply input of the
BOOST in front of the BOOST-inductor. Also place a local, 1-µF (typical) bypass capacitor at the VSUP4 pin.
The EXTSUP pin can be used to improve efficiency. For the EXTSUP pin to improve efficiency, a voltage of more
than 4.8 V is required in order to have VREG regulator supplied from EXTSUP pin. If the EXSUP pin is not used,
the VINPROT pin supplies the VREG regulator. The EXTSUP pin requires a 100-nF (typical) bypass capacitor.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
11.1.1 Buck Controller
•
•
•
•
•
•
Connect a local decoupling capacitor between the drain of Q3 and the source of Q2. The length of this trace
loop should be short.
The Kelvin-current sensing for the shunt resistor should have traces with minimum spacing, routed in parallel
with each other. Place any filtering capacitor for noise near the S1-S2 pins.
The resistor divider for sensing the output voltage connects between the positive pin of the output capacitor
and the GND pin (IC signal ground). Do not locate these components and their traces near any switching
nodes or high-current traces. The resistor divider for monitoring the output voltage is to be placed as close as
possible to the sensing resistor divider, and should be connected to same traces.
Connect the boot-strap capacitance between the PH1 and BOOT1 pins, and keep the length of these trace
loops as short as possible.
Connect the compensation network between the COMP1 pin and GND pin (IC signal ground).
Connect a local decoupling capacitor between the VREG and PGDN1 pin, and between the EXTSUP and
PGND1 pin. The length of this trace loop should be short.
11.1.2 Buck Converter
•
•
•
•
Connect a local decoupling capacitor between VSUP2 and PGND2 respectively VSUP3 and PGND3 pins.
The length of this trace loop should be short.
The resistor divider for sensing the output voltage connects between the positive pin of the output capacitor
and the GND pin (IC signal ground). Do not locate these components and their traces near any switching
nodes or high-current traces. The resistor divider for monitoring the output voltage is to be placed as close as
possible to the sensing resistor divider, and should be connected to same traces.
Connect the boot-strap capacitance between the PH2 and BOOT2 respectively PH3 and BOOT3 pins, and
keep the length of this trace loop as short as possible.
If COMP2 and/or COMP3 are chosen to be connected to ground, use the signal ground trace connected to
GND pin for this.
11.1.3 Boost Converter
•
•
•
The path formed from the input capacitor to the inductor and the PH5 pin should have short trace length. The
same applies for the trace from the inductor to Schottky diode D2 to the output capacitor and the VBOOST
pin. Connect the negative pin of the input capacitor and the PGND5 pin together with short trace lengths.
The resistor divider for sensing the output voltage connects between the positive pin of the output capacitor
and the GND pin (IC signal ground). Do not locate these components and their traces near any switching
nodes or high-current traces.
Connect the compensation network between the COMP5 pin and GND pin (IC signal ground).
11.1.4 Linear Regulator
•
•
Connect a local decoupling capacitor between VSUP4 and GND (IC signal ground) pins. The length of this
trace loop should be short.
The resistor divider for sensing the output voltage connects between the positive pin of the output capacitor
and the GND pin (IC signal ground). Do not locate these components and their traces near any switching
nodes or high-current traces.
11.1.5 Other Considerations
•
•
Short PGNDx and GND to the thermal pad.
Use a star ground configuration if connecting to a non-ground plane system. Use tie-ins for the
compensation-network ground, voltage-sense feedback ground, and local biasing bypass capacitor ground
networks to this star ground.
