The device features proprietary D-CAPTM mode control combined with an adaptive on-time architecture. This combination is ideal for building modern low duty ratio, ultra-fast load step response DC-DC converters. The output voltage ranges from 0.6 V to 5.5 V. The conversion input voltage range is from 3 V up to 15 V. The D-CAPTM mode uses the ESR of the output capacitor(s) to sense the device current. One advantage of this control scheme is that it does not require an external phase compensation network. This allows a simple design with a low external component count. Eight preset switching frequency values can be chosen using a resistor connected from the RF pin to ground or the VREG pin. Adaptive on-time control tracks the preset switching frequency over a wide input and output voltage range while allowing the switching frequency to increase at the step-up of the load. The TPS53315 has a MODE pin to select between auto-skip mode and forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) for light load conditions. The MODE pin also sets the selectable soft-start time ranging from 0.7 ms to 5.6 ms. Enable and Soft Start When the EN pin voltage rises above the enable threshold voltage (typically 1.2 V), the controller enters its start-up sequence. The internal LDO regulator starts immediately and regulates to 5 V at the VREG pin. The controller then uses the first 250 ms to calibrate the switching frequency setting resistance attached to the RF pin and stores the switching frequency code in internal registers. However, switching is inhibited during this phase. In the second phase, an internal DAC starts ramping up the reference voltage from 0 V to 0.6 V. Depending on the MODE pin setting, the ramping up time varies from 0.7 ms to 5.6 ms. Smooth and constant ramp-up of the output voltage is maintained during start-up regardless of load current.

However, the device operates with pseudo-constant frequency by feed-forwarding the input and output voltages into the on-time one-shot timer. The adaptive on-time control adjusts the on-time to be inversely proportional to the input voltage ae VIN o c tON / VOUT o . and proportional to the output voltage e This makes the switching frequency fairly constant in steady state conditions over a wide input voltage range. The switching frequency is selectable from eight preset values by a resistor connected between the RF pin and GND or between the RF pin and the VREG pin as shown in Table 2. (Leaving the resistance open sets the switching frequency to 500 kHz.) Table 2.

The VFB node voltage (the mid-point of resistor divider) is compared to the internal 0.6-V reference voltage added with a ramp signal. When the signal values match, the PWM comparator asserts a set signal to terminate the off-time (turn off the low-side MOSFET and turn on high-side MOSFET). The set signal is valid if the inductor current level is below the OCP threshold, otherwise the off-time is extended until the current level falls below the threshold.

Simplified Modulator Model The output voltage is compared with the internal reference voltage (ramp signal is ignored here for simplicity). The PWM comparator determines the timing to turn on the high-side MOSFET. The gain and speed of the comparator can be assumed high enough to keep the voltage at the beginning of each on-cycle substantially constant. 1 H (s ) = s ESR COUT (1) For the loop stability, the 0 dB frequency, 0, defined in Equation 2 must be lower than 1/4 of the switching frequency. f 1 SW f0 = 2p ESR COUT 4 (2) According to Equation 2, the loop stability of D-CAPTM mode modulator is mainly determined by the capacitor chemistry. For example, specialty polymer capacitors (SP-CAP) have COUT on the order of several 100 F and ESR in range of 10 m. These makes 0 on the order of 100 kHz or less and the loop is stable. However, ceramic capacitors have an 0 at more than 700 kHz, and need special care when used with this modulator. An application circuit using ceramic capacitors is described in External Parts Selection section under All Ceramic Output Capacitors. Ramp Signal The TPS53315 adds a ramp signal to the 0.6-V reference in order to improve jitter performance. The feedback voltage is compared with the reference information to keep the output voltage in regulation. By adding a small ramp signal to the reference, the signal-to-noise ratio at the onset of a new switching cycle is improved. Therefore the operation becomes less jittery and more stable. The ramp signal is controlled to start with -7 mV at the beginning of an on-cycle and becomes 0 mV at the end of an off-cycle in steady state.

Detailed operation is described as follows. As the output current decreases from heavy load condition, the inductor current is also reduced and eventually comes to the point that its rippled valley touches zero level, which is the boundary between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction modes. The synchronous MOSFET is turned off when this zero inductor current is detected. As the load current further decreases, the converter runs into discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The on-time is maintained as it was in the continuous conduction mode so that it takes longer time to discharge the output capacitor with smaller load current to the level of the reference voltage. The transition point to the light-load operation IOUT(LL) (i.e., the threshold between continuous and discontinuous conduction mode) can be calculated as shown in Equation 3. IOUT(LL ) = (VIN - VOUT ) VOUT 1 2 L fSW VIN where * SW is the PWM switching frequency (3) Switching frequency versus output current in the light load condition is a function of L, VIN and VOUT, but it decreases almost proportionally to the output current from the IOUT(LL) given in Equation 3. For example, it is 60 kHz at IOUT(LL)/5 if the frequency setting is 300 kHz. Adaptive Zero Crossing The TPS53315 has an adaptive zero crossing circuit which performs optimization of the zero inductor current detection at skip mode operation. This function pursues ideal low-side MOSFET turning off timing and compensates inherent offset voltage of the Z-C comparator and delay time of the Z-C detection circuit. It prevents SW-node swing-up caused by postponed detection and minimizes diode conduction period caused by premature detection. As a result, better light-load efficiency is delivered. Forced Continuous Conduction Mode When the MODE pin is tied to PGOOD through a resistor, the controller keeps continuous conduction mode (CCM) during light-load conditions. In this mode, the switching frequency is maintained over the entire load range which is suitable for applications needing tight control of the switching frequency at a cost of lower efficiency. Power Good The TPS53315 has powergood output that indicates high when switcher output is within the target. The powergood function is activated after soft-start has finished. If the output voltage becomes within +10% or -5% of the target value, internal comparators detect the powergood state and the powergood signal becomes high after a 1-ms internal delay. If the output voltage goes outside of +15% or -10% of the target value, the power-good signal becomes low after two microsecond (2-ms) internal delay. The powergood output is an open drain output and must be pulled up externally. In order for the PGOOD logic to be valid, the VDD input must be higher than 1 V. To avoid invalid PGOOD logic before the TPS53315 is powered up, it is recommended the PGOOD be pull to VREG (either directly or through a resistor divider) because VREG remains low when the device is off. Current Sense and Overcurrent Protection TPS53315 has cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting control. The inductor current is monitored during the OFF state and the controller maintains the OFF state during the period in that the inductor current is larger than the overcurrent trip level. In order to provide both good accuracy and cost effective solution, TPS53315 supports temperature compensated MOSFET RDS(on) sensing. The TRIP pin should be connected to GND through the trip voltage setting resistor, RTRIP. The TRIP pin sources ITRIP current, which is 10 mA typically at room temperature, and the trip level is set to the OCL trip voltage VTRIP as shown in Equation 4. VTRIP (mV ) = RTRIP (kW ) ITRIP (mA ) 20 (4) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS53315 TPS53315 www.ti.com SLUSAE6 - DECEMBER 2010 The inductor current is monitored by the voltage between the GND pin and the SW pin so that the SW pin should be connected to the drain terminal of the low-side MOSFET properly. ITRIP has 4700 ppm/C temperature slope to compensate the temperature dependency of the RDS(on). The GND pin is used as the positive current sensing node. The GND pin should be connected to the proper current sensing device, (for example, the source terminal of the low-side MOSFET.) As the comparison is done during the OFF state, VTRIP sets the valley level of the inductor current. Thus, the load current at the overcurrent threshold, IOCP, can be calculated as shown in Equation 5. IOCP = VTRIP (8 RDS(on) ) IIND(ripple) + 2 = VTRIP (8 RDS(on) ) + (VIN - VOUT ) VOUT 1 2 L fSW VIN (5) In an overcurrent condition, the current to the load exceeds the current to the output capacitor, therefore the output voltage tends to decrease. Eventually, it crosses the undervoltage protection threshold and shuts down. After a hiccup delay (16 ms with 0.7-ms sort-start), the controller restarts. If the overcurrent condition remains, the procedure is repeated and the device enters hiccup mode. During CCM, the negative current limit (NCL) protects the internal FET from carrying too much current. The NCL detect threshold is set as the same absolute value as positive OCL but negative polarity. Note that the threshold continues to represent the valley value of the inductor current. Overvoltage and Undervoltage Protection The TPS53315 monitors a resistor divided feedback voltage to detect overvoltage and undervoltage. When the feedback voltage becomes lower than 70% of the target voltage, the UVP comparator output goes high and an internal UVP delay counter begins counting. After 1 ms, TPS53315 latches OFF both high-side and low-side MOSFETs drivers. The controller restarts after a hiccup delay (16 ms with 0.7-ms soft-start). This function is enabled 1.5 ms after the soft-start is completed. When the feedback voltage becomes higher than 120% of the target voltage, the OVP comparator output goes high and the circuit latches OFF the high-side MOSFET driver and latches ON the low-side MOSFET driver. The output voltage decreases. If the output voltage reaches the UV threshold, then both high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET driver is OFF and the device restarts after a hiccup delay. If the OV condition remains, both high-side MOSFET and low-side MOSFET driver remains OFF until the OV condition is removed. UVLO Protection The TPS53315 uses VREG undervoltage lockout protection (UVLO). When the VREG voltage is lower than the UVLO threshold voltage, the switch mode power supply shuts off. This is a non-latch protection. Thermal Shutdown TPS53315 includes a temperature monitoring feature. If the temperature exceeds the threshold value (typically 145C), TPS53315 shuts off. When the temperature falls approximately 10C below the threshold value, the device turns on again. This is a non-latch protection.

The ripple injection approach as shown in Equation 10 is implemented to increase the ripple on the VFB pin and make the system stable. C2 can be fixed at 1 nF. The value of C1 can be selected between 10 nF to 200 nF. The increased ripple on the VFB pin causes the increase of the VFB DC value. The AC ripple coupled to the VFB pin has two components, one coupled from SW node and the other coupled from VOUT and they can be calculated using Equation 10 and Equation 11.

Other small signal components should be placed on another side (component side). At least one inner plane should be inserted, connected to ground, in order to shield and isolate the small signal traces from noisy power lines. * All sensitive analog traces and components such as VFB, PGOOD, TRIP, MODE and RF should be placed away from high-voltage switching nodes such as LL, VBST to avoid coupling. Use internal layer(s) as ground plane(s) and shield feedback trace from power traces and components. * Place the VIN decoupling capacitors as close to the VIN and PGND pins as possible to minimize the input AC current loop. * Since the TPS53315 controls output voltage referring to voltage across the VOUT capacitor, the top-side resistor of the voltage divider should be connected to the positive node of VOUT capacitor. In a same manner both bottom side resistor and GND pad of the device should be connected to the negative node of VOUT capacitor. The trace from these resistors to the VFB pin should be short and thin. Place on the component side and avoid via(s) between these resistors and the device. * Connect the overcurrent setting resistors from TRIP pin to ground and make the connections as close as possible to the device. The trace from TRIP pin to resistor and from resistor to ground should avoid coupling to a high-voltage switching node. * Connect the frequency setting resistor from RF pin to ground, or to the VREG pin, and make the connections as close as possible to the device. The trace from the RF pin to the resistor and from the resistor to ground should avoid coupling to a high-voltage switching node. * Connect the MODE setting resistor from MODE pin to ground, or to the PGOOD pin, and make the connections as close as possible to the device. The trace from the MODE pin to the resistor and from the resistor to ground should avoid coupling to a high-voltage switching node. * The PCB trace defined as switch node, which connects the LL pins and high-voltage side of the inductor, should be as short and wide as possible.
