TPSM82816 2.7-V to 6-V Input 6-A Step-Down MicroSiP™ Power Module with
Integrated Inductor and Frequency Synchronization
1 Features
3 Description
•
TPSM82816 is part of a family of pin-to-pin 3-A, 4-A
and 6-A compatible high efficiency and easy to use
synchronous step-down DC/DC power modules with
integrated inductors. The devices are based on a
fixed-frequency peak current-mode control topology.
The devices are used in telecommunication, test and
measurement, and medical applications with high
power density and ease of use requirements. Low
resistance switches allow up to 6-A continuous output
current at high ambient temperatures. The switching
frequency is externally adjustable from 1.8 MHz to
4 MHz and can also be synchronized to an external
clock in the same frequency range. In Power Save
Mode, the TPSM82816 automatically enters PFM at
light loads to maintain high efficiency across the
whole load range. The TPSM82816 provides a 1%
output voltage accuracy in PWM mode which helps
design a power supply with high output voltage
accuracy. The SS/TR pin sets the start-up time or
tracks the output voltage to an external source. This
allows external sequencing of different supply rails
and limits the inrush current during start-up.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPSM82816 synchronous switch mode DC/DC converter power modules are based on a fixed-frequency
peak current-mode control topology. The control loop is internally compensated. To optimize the bandwidth of
the control loop to the wide range of output capacitance that can be used with the TPSM82816, one of two
internal compensation settings can be selected. See COMP/FSET. The compensation setting is selected either
by a resistor from COMP/FSET to GND or by the logic state of this pin. The regulation network achieves fast and
stable operation with small external components and low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
The device supports forced fixed frequency operation (FPWM) with the MODE/SYNC pin tied to a logic high
level. The frequency is defined as either 2.25 MHz (internally fixed when COMP/FSET is tied to GND or VIN)
or in a range of 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz (defined by a resistor from COMP/FSET to GND). Alternatively, the device
can be synchronized to an external clock signal in a range from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz, applied to the MODE/SYNC
pin with no need for additional passive components. An internal PLL allows the device to change from internal
clock to external clock during operation. The synchronization to the external clock is done on the falling edge
of the clock applied at MODE/SYNC to the rising edge on the internal SW node. When the MODE/SYNC pin
is set to a logic low level, the device operates in power save mode (PSM). At low output current, the device
operates in PFM mode and automatically transitions to fixed-frequency PWM mode at higher output current. In
PFM operation, the switching frequency decreases linearly based on the load to sustain high efficiency down to
very low output current (see Power Save Mode Operation (PSM) for more details).

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Precise Enable (EN)
The TPSM82816 starts operation when the rising EN threshold is exceeded. For proper operation, the EN pin
must be terminated and must not be left floating. Pulling the EN pin low forces the device into shutdown. In
this mode, the internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs are turned off and the entire internal control circuitry is
switched off. The voltage applied at the EN pin of the TPSM82816 is compared to a fixed threshold of 1.1 V for a
rising voltage.
The enable input threshold for a falling edge is typically 100 mV lower than the rising edge threshold. The
Precise Enable input provides a user-programmable undervoltage lockout by adding a resistor divider to the

input of the EN pin. The Precise Enable input also allows you to drive the pin by a slowly changing voltage and
enables the use of an external RC network to achieve a precise power-up delay. See the Achieving a Clean
Start-up by Using a DC/DC Converter with a Precise Enable-pin Threshold Technical Brief for more details.
8.3.2 Output Discharge
The purpose of the discharge function is to ensure a defined down-ramp of the output voltage when the device
is being disabled, but also to keep the output voltage close to 0 V when the device is off. The output discharge
feature is only active after the TPSM82816 has been enabled at least once since the supply voltage was applied.
The discharge function is enabled as soon as the device is disabled, in thermal shutdown, or in undervoltage
lockout. The minimum supply voltage required for the discharge function to remain active is typically 2 V. Output
discharge is not activated during a current limit event.
8.3.3 COMP/FSET
This pin allows the user to set three different parameters independently:
• Internal compensation settings for the control loop (two settings available)
• The switching frequency in PWM mode from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz
• Enable / disable spread spectrum clocking (SSC)
A resistor from COMP/FSET to GND changes the compensation as well as the switching frequency. The change
in compensation allows the user to adopt the device to different values of output capacitance. The resistor must
be placed close to the pin to keep the parasitic capacitance on the pin to a minimum. The compensation setting
is sampled at the start-up of the converter, so a change in the resistor during operation only has an effect on the
switching frequency, but not on the compensation.
To save external components, the pin can also be directly tied to VIN or GND to set a pre-defined switching
frequency or compensation. Do not leave the pin floating.
The switching frequency has to be selected based on the maximum input voltage in the application and the
output voltage to meet the specifications for the minimum on time.
Example: VIN = 5.5 V, VOUT = 1 V
V
fSw, max = V × OUT
= 5.5 V 1 V
× 67 ns = 2.71 MHz
IN tON, min
(1)
The compensation range has to be chosen based on the effective minimum capacitance used. The capacitance
can be increased from the minimum value as given in Table 8-1, up to the maximum of 470 µF in both
compensation ranges. If the capacitance of an output changes during operation, for example when load
switches are used to connect or disconnect parts of the circuitry, the compensation has to be chosen for the
minimum capacitance on the output. If the output capacitance exceeds 72 µF × V / VOUT[V], use the second
compensation setting to get the best load transient response. If the output capacitance only exceeds 32 µF ×
V / VOUT[V], use the first compensation setting. Compensating for large output capacitance but having too little
effective capacitance on the output can lead to instability.
The switching frequency for the different compensation setting is determined by the following equations.
For compensation (comp) setting 1 with spread spectrum clocking (SSC) disabled:
RCF kΩ = 18 MHz × kΩ
(2)
RCF kΩ = 60 MHz × kΩ

The minimum output capacitance required for stability depends on the output voltage as stated in Table 8-1.
Refer to Output Capacitor for further details on the output capacitance required depending on the output voltage.
A too-high resistor value for RCF is decoded as "tied to VIN" and a value below the lowest range is decoded as
"tied to GND". The minimum output capacitance in Table 8-1 is for capacitors close to the output of the device. If
the capacitance is distributed, a lower compensation setting can be required.
8.3.4 MODE/SYNC
When MODE/SYNC is set low, the device operates in PWM or PFM mode, depending on the output current.
The MODE/SYNC pin forces PWM mode when set high. The pin also allows you to apply an external clock in
a frequency range from 1.8 MHz to 4 MHz for external synchronization. When an external clock is applied, the
device only operates in PWM mode. As with the switching frequency selection, the specification for the minimum
on-time has to be observed when applying the external clock signal. When using external synchronization, TI
recommends to set the switching frequency (as set by RCF) to a similar value as the externally applied clock.
This ensures that, if the external clock fails, the switching frequency stays in the same range and the settling
time to the internal clock is reduced. When there is no resistor from COMP/FSET to GND, but the pin is pulled
high or low, external synchronization is not possible. An internal PLL allows you to change from an internal
clock to external clock during operation. The synchronization to the external clock is done on the falling edge
of the applied clock to the rising edge of the internal SW pin (see Synchronizing to an External Clock). The
MODE/SYNC pin can be changed during operation.
8.3.5 Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC)
The device offers spread spectrum clocking as an option, set by the COMP/FSET pin. When SSC is enabled,
the switching frequency is randomly changed in PWM mode when the internal clock is used. The frequency
variation is typically between the nominal switching frequency and up to 288 kHz above the nominal switching
frequency. When the device is externally synchronized, the TPSM82816 follows the external clock and the
internal spread spectrum block is turned off. SSC is also disabled during soft start.
8.3.6 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
If the input voltage drops, the undervoltage lockout prevents mis-operation of the device by switching off both the
MOSFETs. The device is fully operational for voltages above the rising UVLO threshold and turns off if the input
voltage goes below the falling threshold.

8.3.7 Power-Good Output (PG)
The device has a power-good output with window comparator. The PG pin goes high impedance after the FB
pin voltage is above 95% and less than 107% of the nominal voltage, and is driven low after the voltage falls
below 90% or rises higher than 110% of the nominal voltage (typical). Table 8-2 shows the typical PG pin logic.
The PG pin is an open-drain output and is specified to sink up to 2 mA. The power good output requires a pullup
resistor connected to any voltage rail less than VIN. The PG signal can be used for sequencing of multiple rails
by connecting to the EN pin of other converters. If not used, the PG pin can be left floating or connected to GND.

8.3.8 Thermal Shutdown
The junction temperature (TJ) of the device is monitored by an internal temperature sensor. If TJ exceeds 180°C
(typical), the device goes into thermal shutdown. Both the high-side and low-side power FETs are turned off and
PG goes low. When TJ decreases below the hysteresis amount of typically 15°C, the converter resumes normal
operation, beginning with soft start. During PFM the thermal shutdown is not active.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Operation
The TPSM82816 has two operating modes: Forced PWM mode (FPWM) and Power Save Mode (PSM).
With the MODE/SYNC pin set to high, the TPSM82816 operates with pulse width modulation (PWM) in
continuous conduction mode (CCM). The switching frequency is either defined by a resistor from the COMP/
FSET pin to GND or by an external clock signal applied to the MODE/SYNC pin.
With the MODE/SYNC pin set to low, the TPSM82816 operates with pulse frequency modulation (PFM) during
light load and will automatically transition into PWM as the load current increases.
8.4.2 Power Save Mode Operation (PSM)
When the MODE/SYNC pin is low, power save mode is allowed. The device operates in PWM mode as long
as the peak inductor current is above the PFM threshold of about 1.8 A. When the peak inductor current drops
below the PFM threshold, the device starts to skip switching pulses. The frequency set with the resistor on
COMP/FSET must be in a range of 1.8 MHz to 3.5 MHz.
In power save mode, the switching frequency decreases linearly with the load current to maintain high efficiency.
The linear behavior of the switching frequency in power save mode is shown in Figure 8-2.

8.4.3 100% Duty-Cycle Operation
The device offers a low input-to-output voltage differential by entering 100% duty cycle mode. When the
minimum off-time of typically 15 ns is reached, the TPSM82816 skips switching cycles while it approaches
100% mode. In 100% mode, the high-side MOSFET switch is constantly turned on. The minimum input voltage
to maintain a minimum output voltage is given by:
VIN(min) = VOUT(min) + IOUT × RDP
(5)
where:
•
•
RDP is the resistance from VIN to VOUT, which includes the high-side MOSFET on-resistance and DC
resistance of the inductor
VOUT(min) is the minimum output voltage the load can accept
This operation mode is particularly useful in battery-powered applications to achieve longest operation time by
taking full advantage of the whole battery voltage range.
8.4.4 Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection
The TPSM82816 is protected against overload and short circuit events. If the inductor current exceeds the
current limit ILIMH, the high-side MOSFET is turned off and the low-side MOSFET is turned on to ramp down

the inductor current. The high-side MOSFET turns on again only if the current in the low-side MOSFET has
decreased below the low-side current limit. Due to internal propagation delays, the actual current can exceed the
static current limit. The dynamic current limit is given as:
where
•
•
•
•
V
Ipeak typ = ILIMH + LL × tPD
(6)
ILIMH is the static current limit, as specified in the electrical characteristics
L is the effective inductance (typically 220 nH)
VL is the voltage across the inductor (VIN - VOUT)
tPD is the internal propagation delay of typically 50 ns
The dynamic peak current is calculated as follows:
V − VOUT
Ipeak typ = ILIMH + IN220 nH
× 50 ns
(7)
The low-side MOSFET also contains a negative current limit to prevent excessive current from flowing back
through the inductor to the input. If the low-side sinking current limit is exceeded, the low-side MOSFET is turned
off. In this scenario, both MOSFETs are off until the start of the next cycle. The negative current limit is only
active in Forced PWM mode.
8.4.5 Soft Start / Tracking (SS/TR)
The soft-start circuitry controls the output voltage slope during start-up. This action avoids excessive inrush
current and ensures a controlled output voltage rise time. This action also prevents unwanted voltage drops from
high impedance power sources or batteries. When EN is set high, the device starts switching after a delay of
about 270 μs. Then VOUT rises with a slope controlled by an external capacitor connected to the SS/TR pin.
A capacitor connected from SS/TR to GND is charged with 10 µA by an internal current source during soft start
until it reaches the reference voltage of 0.6 V. After reaching 0.6 V, the SS/TR pin voltage is clamped internally
while the SS/TR pin voltage keeps rising to a maximum of about 3.3 V. The capacitance required to set a certain
ramp-time (tramp) is:
CSS nF =
10μA × tramp ms
0.6 V
(8)
Leaving the SS/TR pin un-connected provides the fastest start-up ramp of 150 µs typically. If the device is set to
shutdown (EN = GND), undervoltage lockout, or thermal shutdown, an internal resistor of about 1.1 kΩ pulls the
SS/TR pin to GND to ensure a proper low level. Returning from those states causes a new start-up sequence.
A voltage applied at the SS/TR pin can also be used to track a master voltage. The output voltage follows this
voltage in both directions up and down in forced PWM mode. In PSM mode, the output voltage decreases based
on the load current. An external voltage applied on SS/TR is internally clamped to the feedback voltage (0.6 V).
TI recommends to set the final value of the external voltage on SS/TR to be slightly above 0.6 V to make sure
the device operates with its internal reference voltage when the power-up sequencing is finished. See Voltage
Tracking.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the TPSM82816 is adjustable. Choose resistors R1 and R2 to set the output voltage within
a range of 0.6 V to 5.5 V according to Equation 9. To keep the feedback (FB) net robust from noise, set R2
equal to or lower than 100 kΩ to have at least 6 µA of current in the voltage divider. Lower values of FB resistors
achieve better noise immunity, and lower light load efficiency, as explained in the Design Considerations for a
Resistive Feedback Divider in a DC/DC Converter Technical Brief.

9.2.2.2 Feedforward Capacitor
A feedforward capacitor (CFF) is required in parallel with R1 to improve the transient response. The maximum
value for the feedforward capacitor CFF at the minimum output capacitance is determined by Equation 10:
× Ω
Cff, max nF = 266.1 nF
R
(10)
1
For examples of feedforward capacitor values for common output voltages when using the minimum required
output capacitance, refer to Table 9-2.
To improve the load transient performance, more output capacitance can be added. Increasing the CFF above
values given by Equation 10 can also improve the response with larger COUT. The converter's loop response
must be evaluated either through a simple load step or by a phase margin measurement. For details, please
refer to: AN-1733 Load Transient Testing Simplified Application Report.
9.2.2.3 Input Capacitor
For most applications, TI recommends a 22-µF nominal ceramic capacitor. The input capacitor buffers the input
voltage for transient events and also decouples the converter from the supply. A X7R or X7T multilayer ceramic
capacitor (MLCC) is recommended for best filtering and must be placed between VIN and GND as close as
possible to those pins. For applications with ambient temperatures below 85°C, a capacitor with X5R dielectric
can be used. Ceramic capacitors have a DC-Bias effect, which has a strong influence on the final effective
capacitance. Choose the right capacitor carefully in combination with considering its package size and voltage
rating. The minimum required input capacitance is 5 µF.
9.2.2.4 Output Capacitor
The architecture of the TPSM82816 allows the use of ceramic output capacitors which have low equivalent
series resistance (ESR). These capacitors provide low output voltage ripple and are recommended. To keep
its low resistance up to high frequencies and to get a narrow capacitance variation with temperature, TI
recommends to use an X7R or X7T dielectric. At temperatures below 85°C, an X5R dielectric can be used.

SLUSEY7 – DECEMBER 2022
Using a higher capacitance value has advantages like smaller voltage ripple and a tighter DC output accuracy
in power save mode. By changing the device compensation with a resistor from COMP/FSET to GND, the
device can be compensated in two steps based on the minimum capacitance used on the output. The maximum
capacitance is 470 µF in any of the compensation settings. The minimum capacitance required on the output
depends on the compensation setting and output voltage as shown in Table 8-1. For output voltages below
1 V, the minimum required capacitance increases linearly from 32 µF at 1 V to 53 µF at 0.6 V with the
compensation setting for smallest output capacitance. The other compensation setting scales the same. Ceramic
capacitors have a DC-Bias effect, which has a strong influence on the final effective capacitance. Choose the
right capacitor carefully in combination with considering its package size and voltage rating.

9.3 System Examples
9.3.1 Voltage Tracking
The SS/TR pin is externally driven by another voltage source to achieve output voltage tracking. The application
circuit is shown in Figure 9-22. From 0 V to 0.6 V, the internal reference voltage to the internal error amplifier
follows the SS/TR pin voltage. When the SS/TR pin voltage is above 0.6 V, the voltage tracking is disabled and
the FB pin voltage is regulated at 0.6 V. The device achieves ratiometric, as shown in Figure 9-23 or coincidental
(simultaneous) output tracking, as shown in Figure 9-23.
The R2 value must be set properly to achieve accurate voltage tracking by taking the 10-μA charging current into
account. 1 kΩ or smaller is a sufficient value for R2. For decreasing SS/TR pin voltage, the device does not sink
current from the output when the device is in PSM. The resulting decrease of the output voltage can be slower
than the SS/TR pin voltage if the load is light.
In case both devices need to run in forced PWM mode after start-up, TI recommends to tie the MODE/SYNC pin
of the secondary device to the output voltage or the power good signal of the primary device. The TPSM82816
has a duty cycle limitation defined by the minimum on time. For tracking down to low output voltages, the
secondary device cannot follow after the minimum duty cycle is reached. Enabling FPWM mode while tracking is
in progress allows the user to ramp down the output voltage close to 0 V.
When driving the SS/TR pin with an external voltage, do not exceed the voltage rating of the SS/TR pin.

9.3.2 Synchronizing to an External Clock
The TPSM82816 can be synchronized by applying a clock on the MODE/SYNC pin. There is no need for any
additional circuitry as long as the input signal meets the requirements given in the electrical specifications. See
Figure 9-25. The clock can be applied, changed, and removed during operation. The value of the RCF resistor is
recommended to be chosen such that the internally defined frequency and the externally-applied frequency are
close to each other to have a fast settling time to the external clock. Synchronizing to a clock is not possible if
the COMP/FSET pin is connected to Vin or GND. Figure 9-26 and Figure 9-27 show the external clock being
applied and removed. When an external clock is applied, the device operates in PWM mode.

9.4 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPSM82816 device family has no special requirements for the input power supply. The output current of
the input power supply must be rated according to the supply voltage, output voltage, and output current of the
TPSM82816.

9.5 Layout
9.5.1 Layout Guidelines
A proper layout is critical for the operation of any switched mode power supply, especially at high switching
frequencies. Therefore, the PCB layout of the TPSM82816 demands careful attention to ensure best
performance. A poor layout can lead to issues like bad line and load regulation, instability, increased EMI
radiation, and noise sensitivity. Refer to the Five Steps to a Great PCB Layout for a Step-Down Converter
Technical Brief for a detailed discussion of general best practices. Specific recommendations for the device are
listed below.
•
•
•
•
•
•
The input capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins of the device. This
placement is the most critical component placement. Route the input capacitor directly to the VIN and GND
pins avoiding vias.
Place the output capacitor ground close to the VOUT and GND pins and route it directly avoiding vias.
Place the FB resistors, R1 and R2, and the feedforward capacitor CFF close to the FB pin and place CSS
close to the SS/TR pin to minimize noise pickup.
Place the RCF resistor close to the COMP/FSET pin to minimize the parasitic capacitance.
The recommended layout is implemented on the EVM and shown in its TPSM8281xEVM-089 Evaluation
Module User's Guide and in Layout Example.
The recommended land pattern for the TPSM82816 is shown at the end of this data sheet. For best
manufacturing results, create the pads as solder mask defined (SMD), when some pins (such as VIN, VOUT,
and GND) are connected to large copper planes. Using SMD pads keeps each pad the same size and avoids
solder pulling the device during reflow.

9.5.2.1 Thermal Consideration
The TPSM82816 module temperature must be kept less than the maximum rating of 125°C. The following are
three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance:
•
•
•
Improve the power dissipation capability of the PCB design.
Improve the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB.
Introduce airflow into the system.
To estimate the approximate module temperature of the TPSM82816, apply the typical efficiency stated in this
data sheet to the desired application condition to compute the power dissipation of the module. Then, calculate
the module temperature rise by multiplying the power dissipation by its thermal resistance. For more details on
how to use the thermal parameters in real applications, see the application notes: Thermal Characteristics of
Linear and Logic Packages Using JEDEC PCB Designs and Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics.
