TMI33431E
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Overview
As seen in Functional Block Diagram, the TMI33431E is a peak current mode pulse width modulation (PWM)
converter with fixed 570kHz switching frequency. The converter operates as follows:
A switching cycle starts when the rising edge of the oscillator clock output causes the High-Side Power Switch
to turn on and the Low-Side Power Switch to turn off. With the SW side of the inductor now connected to
IN, the inductor current ramps up to store energy in the magnetic field. The inductor current level is
measured by the Current Sense Amplifier and added to the Oscillator ramp signal. If the resulting summation
is higher than the COMP voltage, the output of the PWM Comparator goes high. When this happens or when
Oscillator clock output goes low, the High-Side Power Switch turns off.
At this point, the SW side of the inductor swings to a diode voltage below ground, causing the inductor
current to decrease and magnetic energy to be transferred to output. This state continues until the cycle
starts again. The High-Side Power Switch is driven by logic using BS as the positive rail. This pin is charged to
VSW + 5V when the Low-Side Power Switch turns on. The COMP voltage is the integration of the error
between FB input and the internal 0.8V reference. If VFB is lower than the reference voltage, COMP tends to
go higher to increase inductor current to the output side and try to increase output voltage.
In light or no load condition, TMI33431E is operating in PFM mode for power saving. In PFM mode, the
device ramps up its output voltage with one or several SW switching pulse, while the error amplifier output
voltage VCOMP drops. The device stops switching when VCOMP voltage drops down the inner threshold, then
the output voltage falls down and VCOMP voltage rises until VCOMP voltage is high enough to generate SW
switching pulse.
Input Over Voltage Protection
The threshold of input OVP circuit include is typical 32V. Once the input voltage is higher than the threshold,
the high-side MOSFET is turned off. When the input voltage drops lower than the threshold with hysteresis,
the high-side MOSFET will be enabled again. This function protects device from switching in abnormal high
input voltage and input surge condition.
Over-Current-Protection and Short Circuits Protection
The TMI33431E has cycle-by-cycle peak current limit function. The periodic current limit of the high side
MOSFET can protect this device in case of overload, and prevent the current from losing control through
valley current limit. Low side charge current limiting can shut down low side MOSFET to prevent excessive
reverse current.
If the output is short to GND and the output voltage drop until feedback voltage VFB is below the output
under-voltage VUV threshold which is typically 35% of VREF, TMI33431E enters into hiccup mode to
periodically disable and restart switching operation. The hiccup mode helps to reduce power dissipation and
thermal rise during output short condition. The period of TMI33431E hiccup mode is typically 66ms.

TMI33431E
Input Under Voltage Lockout
TMI33431E implements input under voltage lockout function to avoid mis-operation at low input voltages.
When the input voltage is lower than input UVLO threshold with UVLO hysteresis, the device is shut down.
The typical 350mV input UVLO hysteresis value of TMI33431E is useful to prevent device from abnormal
switching caused by input voltage oscillation around UVLO threshold during input voltage power-up and
power-down with high load condition.
Enable and Disable
TMI33431E EN pin has a 5V Zener diode to clamp EN pin voltage. Drive EN to logic high level to turn on the
device. Drive EN to logic low level to turn it off. If there is no EN logic control signal implemented on EN pin,
EN could be pulled up to input voltage by a resistor. Please note the pull-up resistance value and make sure
EN sink current is smaller than 1mA. EN pin cannot be floating.
Thermal Shutdown
The TMI33431E disables switching when its junction temperature exceeds 160°C typically, Once the device
junction temperature falls below the threshold with hysteresis, TMI33431E returns to normal operation
automatically.

Figure 3. Output Voltage Setting
Figure 3 shows the connections for setting the output voltage. Select the proper ratio of the two feedback
resistors R1 and R2 based on the output voltage. Adding a capacitor in parallel with R1 helps the system
stability. Typically, use R2 ≈ 10kΩ and determine R1 from the following equation:
R1=R2∙ (

VREF
Soft-Start Time Setting
The TMI33431E device use the SS pin voltage as the reference voltage and regulates the output accordingly.
A capacitor on the SS pin to ground implements a soft-start time. The device has an internal pullup current
source of 2.6μA that charges the external soft-start capacitor. Use following equation to calculate the soft
time (tSS, 10% to 90%) and soft capacitor (CSS).
tSS (ms)=
CSS (nF) × VREF (V)
ISS
where
VREF is the voltage reference (0.8V)
ISS is the soft-start charge current (2.6μA)
Inductor Selection
Inductance value is related to inductor ripple current value, input voltage, output voltage setting and
switching frequency. The inductor value can be derived from the following equation:
L=
VOUT ×(VIN -VOUT )
VIN ×∆IL ×fSW
Where ∆IL is inductor ripple current. Large value inductors result in lower ripple current and small value
inductors result in high ripple current, so inductor value has effect on output voltage ripple value, however
large value inductor have large size and is more expensive. DC resistance of inductor which has impact on
efficiency of DC/DC converter should be taken into account when selecting the inductor.
The saturation current rating of the inductor should be considered. The saturation current must be larger
than peak inductor current with maximum load conditions in all operation conditions, for example,
maximum load transient condition. The peak inductor current value can be calculated according to the

TMI33431E
following equation. Meanwhile, if the system has output short condition, the saturation current of inductor
should cover peak current limit value of the device.
IL_peak = IOUT_MAX +
VOUT × (VIN_MAX - VOUT )
1
× ∆IL = IOUT_MAX +
2
2 × VIN_MAX × L × fSW
Input Capacitor Selection
Since the input current of the Buck converter is discontinuous, the input capacitor is needed to supply the
AC current while maintaining the DC input voltage. The input capacitor impedance at the switching
frequency should be less than input source impedance to prevent high frequency switching current passing
to the input. A low ESR input capacitor sized for maximum RMS current must be used. Ceramic capacitors
with X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended because of their low ESR and small temperature
coefficients. The voltage rating should be greater than the maximum input voltage plus input voltage ripple.
A 10µF effective capacitance value ceramic capacitor for most applications is sufficient. A large value may
be used for improved input voltage filtering. Additionally, a small 0.1μF ceramic capacitor located close on
input pin and GND pad is help for high frequency filter.
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is required to keep the output voltage ripple small in steady status and load transient
condition, and to ensure regulation loop stability. The output ripple △VOUT is determined by:
∆VOUT ≈∆IL × (RESR +
1
VOUT × (VIN - VOUT )
1
)=
× (RESR +
)
8 × fSW × COUT
2 × VIN × L × fSW
8 × fSW × COUT
Where RESR is the equivalent series resistance value of output capacitor. As shown in above equation, the
smaller ESR value and larger capacitance value of output capacitors, the smaller output voltage ripple. If
ceramic capacitors are used as output capacitors, the output ripple is mainly depended on output
capacitance value since the ceramic capacitors have low ESR value. If tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are
used as output capacitors, RESR dominates the output ripple value since the electrolytic capacitors have
significantly higher ESR value. The TMI33431E can be optimized for a wide range of output capacitance and
ESR values.
PC Board Layout Guidance
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following checklist should be used to ensure proper operation
of the IC.
1) Arrange the power components to reduce the AC loop size consisting of CIN, IN pin and SW pin.
2) Place input decoupling ceramic capacitor CIN as close to IN pin as possible. CIN is connected power GND
with vias or short and wide path.
3) Return FB, COMP and SS/RT to signal GND pin, and connect the signal GND to power GND at a single point
for best noise immunity. Connect exposed pad to power ground copper area with copper and vias.
4) Use copper plane for power GND for best heat dissipation and noise immunity.
5) Place feedback resistor close to FB pin.
6) Use short trace connecting BS-CBS-SW loop
