General Description
TD2778
Features
The TD2778 is a monolithic synchronous buck
regulator. The device integrates two 90mΩ
MOSFETs, and provides 2.4A of continuous load
current over a wide input voltage of 4.75V to 32V.
Current mode control provides fast
transient
response and cycle-by-cycle current limit.
An adjustable soft-start prevents inrush current at
turn-on, and in shutdown mode the supply current
drops to 1µA.
This device, available in an SOP8-PP package,
provides a very compact solution with minimal external
components.

Function Description
Component Selection
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage is set using a resistive voltage
divider from the output voltage to FB pin.The voltage
divider divides the output voltage down to the
feedback voltage by the ratio:
Where VFB is the feedback voltage and VOUT is the
output voltage.Thus the output voltage is:
Inductor
The inductor is required to supply constant current to
the output load while being driven by the switched
input voltage. A larger value inductor will result in less
ripple current that will result in lower output ripple
voltage. However,the larger value inductor will have a
larger physical size, higher series resistance, and/or
lower saturation current. A good rule for determining
the inductance to use is to allow the peak-to-peak
ripple current in the inductor to be approximately 30%
of the maximum switch current limit. Also, make sure
that the peak inductor current is below the maximum
switch current limit. The inductance value can be
calculated by:
October, 20, 2010.
Where VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is the input
voltage, fS is the switching frequency, and ΔIL is the
peak-to-peak inductor ripple current.
Choose an inductor that will not saturate under the
maximum inductor peak current. The peak inductor
current can be calculated by:
Where ILOAD is the load current.
The choice of which style inductor to use mainly
depends on the price vs. size requirements and any
EMI requirements.
Optional Schottky Diode
During the transition between high-side switch and
low-side switch, the body diode of the lowside power
MOSFET conducts the inductor current. The forward
voltage of this body diode is high. An optional Schottky
diode may be paralleled between the SW pin and
GND pin to improve overall efficiency. Table 1 lists
example Schottky diodes and their Manufacturers.

Input Capacitor
The input current to the step-down converter is
discontinuous, therefore a capacitor is required to
supply the AC current to the step-down converter
while maintaining the DC input voltage. Use low ESR
capacitors for the best performance. Ceramic
capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR
electrolytic capacitors may also suffice. Choose X5R
or X7R dielectrics when using ceramic capacitors.

Since the input capacitor (C1) absorbs the input
switching current it requires an adequate ripple current
rating. The RMS current in the input capacitor can be
In the case of tantalum or electrolytic capacitors,the
estimated by:
ESR dominates the impedance at the switching
frequency. For simplification, the output ripple can be
approximated to:
The worst-case condition occurs at VIN = 2VOUT,where
IC1 = ILOAD/2. For simplification, choose the input
capacitor whose RMS current rating greater than half
of the maximum load current.
The input capacitor can be electrolytic, tantalum or
ceramic. When using electrolytic or tantalum
capacitors, a small, high quality ceramic capacitor, i.e.
0.1μF, should be placed as close to the IC as possible.
When using ceramic capacitors, make sure that they
have enough capacitance to provide sufficient charge
to prevent excessive voltage ripple at input. The input
voltage ripple for low ESR capacitors can be
estimated by:
Where C1 is the input capacitance value.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is required to maintain the DC
output voltage. Ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR
electrolytic capacitors are recommended. Low ESR
capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage
ripple low. The output voltage ripple can be estimated
by:
Where C2 is the output capacitance value and RESR is
the equivalent series resistance (ESR) value of the
output capacitor.
In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance at
the switching frequency is dominated by the
capacitance. The output voltage ripple is mainly
caused by the capacitance. For simplification, the
output voltage ripple can be estimated by:
October, 20, 2010.
The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect
the stability of the regulation system. The TD2778 can
be optimized for a wide range of capacitance and ESR
values.
Compensation Components
TD2778 employs current mode control for easy
compensation and fast transient response. The
system stability and transient response are controlled
through the COMP pin. COMP pin is the output of the
internal transconductance error amplifier. A series
capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero
combination to control the characteristics of the control
system.
The DC gain of the voltage feedback loop is given by:
Where AVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain;GCS is
the current sense transconductance and RLOAD is the
load resistor value.
The system has two poles of importance. One is due
to the compensation capacitor (C3) and the output
resistor of the error amplifier, and the other is due to
the output capacitor and the load resistor. These poles
are located at:
Where GEA is the error amplifier transconductance.

The system has one zero of importance, due to the
compensation capacitor (C3) and the compensation
resistor (R3). This zero is located at:
The system may have another zero of importance, if
the output capacitor has a large capacitance and/or a
high ESR value. The zero,due to the ESR and
capacitance of the output capacitor, is located at:
TD2778
Determine the C3 value by the following equation:
Where R3 is the compensation resistor.
3. Determine if the second compensation capacitor
(C6) is required. It is required if the ESR zero of the
output capacitor is located at less than half of the
switching frequency, or the following relationship is
valid:
If this is the case, then add the second compensation
In this case (as shown in Figure 14), a third pole set by capacitor (C6) to set the pole fP3 at the location of the
the compensation capacitor (C6) and the
ESR zero. Determine the C6 value by the equation:

effect of the ESR zero on the loop gain. This pole is

sufficient phase margin.
