The TPS54672 (U1) can provide greater than 6 A of output current. For proper operation, the exposed thermal PowerPAD underneath the integrated circuit package needs to be soldered to the printed-circuit board. R1, R2, R3, C1, C2 and C3 form the loop compensation network for the circuit. For this design, a Type 3 topology is used. The compensation network, along with the output filter inductor and capacitor delivers a crossover frequency of 135 kHz with 50 of phase margin. COMPONENT SELECTION OPERATING FREQUENCY The values for the components used in this design example were selected for best load transient and tracking response. Additional design information is available at www.ti.com. In the application circuit, RT is grounded through a 71.5-k resistor to select the maximum frequency of 700 kHz. To set a different frequency, place a 68-k to 180-k resistor between RT (pin 28) and analog ground or leave RT floating to select the default 350 kHz. The resistance can be calculated using the following equation: INPUT VOLTAGE The input voltage range is 3 to 5.5 VDC. The input filter (C4) is a 10-F ceramic capacitor (Taiyo Yuden). C8, also a 10-F ceramic capacitor (Taiyo Yuden) that provides high frequency decoupling of the TPS54672 from the input supply, must be located as close as possible to the device. Ripple current is carried in both C8 and C4, and the return path to PGND should avoid the current circulating in the output capacitors C7 and C10.

Application Circuit Optimized For Size And Performance 8 www.ti.com SLVS397C - JULY 2001 - REVISED FEBRUARY 2005 OUTPUT FILTER The output filter is composed of a 0.56-H Coilcraft inductor (D01813P-561HC) and two 150-F Cornell Dublier capacitors (ESRD151M06R). The inductor is a low dc resistance type. The capacitors used are 4 V POSCAP types with a maximum ESR of 0.040 . PCB LAYOUT Figure 10 shows a generalized PCB layout guide for the TPS54672. The VIN pins should be connected together on the printed circuit board (PCB) and bypassed with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. Minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connections, the VIN pins, and the TPS54672 ground pins. The minimum recommended bypass capacitance is 10 F ceramic with a X5R or X7R dielectric and the optimum placement is closest to the VIN pins and the PGND pins. The TPS54672 has two internal grounds (analog and power). Inside the TPS54672 the analog ground ties to all of the noise sensitive signals, while the power ground ties to the noisier power signals. Noise injected between the two grounds can degrade the performance of the TPS54672, particularly at higher output currents. Ground noise on an analog ground plane can also cause problems with some of the control and bias signals. For these reasons, separate analog and power ground traces are recommended. There should be an area of ground on the top layer under the IC, with an exposed area for connection to the PowerPAD. Use vias to connect this ground area to any internal ground planes. Use additional vias at the ground side of the input and output filter capacitors as well. The AGND and PGND pins should be tied to the PCB ground by connecting them to the ground area under the device as shown. The only components that should tie directly to the power ground plane are the input capacitors, the output capacitors, the input voltage decoupling capacitor, and the PGND pins of the TPS54672. Use a separate wide trace for the analog ground signal path. This analog ground should be used for the voltage set point divider, timing resistor RT, and bias capacitor grounds. Connect this trace directly to AGND (pin 1). The PH pins should be tied together and routed to the output inductor. Since the PH connection is the switching node, the inductor should be located very close to the PH pins and the area of the PCB conductor minimized to prevent excessive capacitive coupling. Connect the boot capacitor between the phase node and the BOOT pin as shown. Keep the boot capacitor close to the IC and minimize the conductor trace lengths. Connect the output filter capacitor(s) as shown between the VOUT trace and PGND. It is important to keep the loop formed by the PH pins, Lout, Cout, and PGND as small as practical. Place the compensation components from the VOUT trace to the VSENSE, and COMP pins. Do not place these components too close to the PH trace. Due to the size of the IC package and the device pin out, the components must be routed somewhat close, however maintaining as much separation as possible while still keeping the layout compact. Connect the bias capacitor from the VBIAS pin to analog ground using the isolated analog ground trace. If an RT resistor is used, connect it to this trace as well. 9 www.ti.com SLVS397C - JULY 2001 - REVISED FEBRUARY 2005 ANALOG GROUND TRACE AGND RT COMPENSATION NETWORK TRACKING VOLTAGE ENA VSENSE COMP REFIN RESISTOR DIVIDER BIAS CAPACITOR PWRGD BOOT CAPACITOR BOOT PH VOUT PH OUTPUT INDUCTOR OUTPUT FILTER CAPACITOR VBIAS VIN EXPOSED POWERPAD AREA VIN PH VIN PH VIN PH VIN PH PGND PH PGND PH PGND PH PGND PH PGND VIN INPUT BYPASS CAPACITOR INPUT BULK FILTER TOPSIDE GROUND AREA VIA to Ground Plane Figure 10. TPS54672 PCB Layout 10 NETWORK www.ti.com SLVS397C - JULY 2001 - REVISED FEBRUARY 2005 LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THERMAL PERFORMANCE For operation at full rated load current, the analog ground plane must provide adequate heat dissipating area. A 3 inch by 3 inch plane of 1 ounce copper is recommended, though not mandatory, depending on ambient temperature and airflow. Most applications have larger areas of internal ground plane available, and the PowerPAD should be connected to the largest area available. Additional areas on the top or bottom layers also help dissipate heat, and 8 PL O 0.0130 4 PL O 0.0180 any area available should be used when 6 A or greater operation is desired. Connection from the exposed area of the PowerPAD to the analog ground plane layer should be made using 0.013 inch diameter vias to avoid solder wicking through the vias. Eight vias should be in the PowerPAD area with four additional vias located under the device package. The size of the vias under the package, but not in the exposed thermal pad area, can be increased to 0.018. Additional vias beyond the twelve recommended that enhance thermal performance should be included in areas not under the device package.

During power up, internal circuits are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 IO - Output Current - A Figure 13 held inactive until VIN exceeds the nominal UVLO threshold voltage of 2.95 V. Once the UVLO start threshold is reached, device start-up begins. The device operates until VIN falls below the nominal UVLO stop threshold of 11 www.ti.com SLVS397C - JULY 2001 - REVISED FEBRUARY 2005 2.8 V. Note that hysteresis in the UVLO comparator and a 2.5-s rising and falling edge deglitch circuit reduce the likelihood of shutting the device down due to noise on VIN. Enable (ENA) The enable pin, ENA, provides a digital control to enable or disable (shutdown) the TPS54672. An input voltage of 1.4 V or greater ensures that the TPS54672 is enabled. An input of 0.82 V or less ensures that device operation is disabled. These are not standard logic thresholds, even though they are compatible with TTL outputs. When ENA is low, the oscillator, slow-start, PWM control and MOSFET drivers are disabled and held in an initial state ready for device start-up. On an ENA transition from low to high, device start-up begins with the output starting from 0 V. Slow-Start The slow-start circuit provides start-up slope control of the output voltage to limit in-rush currents. The nominal internal slow-start rate is 0.25 V/ms with the maximum rate being 0.35 V/ms. When the voltage on REFIN rises faster than the internal slope or is present when device operation is enabled, the output rises at the internal rate. If the reference voltage on REFIN rises more slowly, then the output rises at about the same rate as REFIN. VBIAS Regulator (VBIAS) The VBIAS regulator provides internal analog and digital blocks with a stable supply voltage over variations in junction temperature and input voltage. A high quality, low-ESR, ceramic bypass capacitor is required on the VBIAS pin. X7R or X5R grade dielectrics are recommended because their values are more stable over temperature. The bypass capacitor should be placed close to the VBIAS pin and returned to AGND. External loading on VBIAS is allowed, with the caution that internal circuits require a minimum VBIAS of 2.7 V, and that loads with ac or digital switching noise may degrade performance. The VBIAS pin may be useful as a reference voltage for external circuits. Oscillator Frequency (RT) The oscillator frequency can be set to an internally fixed value of 350 kHz by leaving the RT pin unconnected (floating). If a different frequency of operation is required for the application, the oscillator frequency can be externally adjusted from 280 kHz to 700 kHz by connecting a resistor to the RT pin to ground. The operating frequency is approximated by the following equation, where R is the resistance from RT to AGND: Switching Frequency + 100 kW R 12 500 [kHz] (2) The following table summarizes the frequency selection configurations: FREE RUNNING FREQUENCY RT PIN 350 kHz, internally set Float Externally set 280 kHz to 700 kHz R = 68 k to 180 k Error Amplifier (REFIN, VSENSE, COMP) The high performance voltage error amplifier, with wide 5MHz bandwidth, low 1.5 mV-max offset, 1.4 V/s slew rate, and ground rail input range differentiates the TPS54672 from most dc/dc converters. The user is given the flexibility to use a wide range of output L and C filter components to suit the particular application needs. Type 2 or type 3 compensation can be employed using external compensation components. The REFIN input range includes ground which allows 0% duty cycle during transient conditions. The user should note that steady state regulation accuracy of voltages less than 0.84 V is limited by the minimum controllable ON time. PWM Control Signals from the error amplifier output, oscillator and current limit circuit are processed by the PWM control logic. Referring to the internal block diagram, the control logic includes the PWM comparator, OR gate, PWM latch and portions of the adaptive dead time and control logic block. During steady state operation below the current limit threshold, the PWM comparator output and oscillator pulse train alternately reset and set the PWM latch. Once the PWM latch is set, the low-side FET remains on for a minimum duration set by the oscillator pulse width. During this period, the PWM ramp discharges rapidly to its valley voltage. When the ramp begins to charge back up, the low-side FET turns off and high-side FET turns on. As the PWM ramp voltage exceeds the error amplifier output voltage, the PWM comparator resets the latch, thus turning off the high-side FET and turning on the low-side FET. The low-side FET remains on until the next oscillator pulse discharges the PWM ramp. During transient conditions, the error amplifier output could be below the PWM ramp valley voltage or above the PWM peak voltage. If the error amplifier is high, the PWM latch is never reset and the high-side FET remains on until the oscillator pulse signals the control logic to turn the high-side FET off and the low-side FET on. The device operates at its maximum duty cycle until the output voltage rises to the regulation set-point, setting VSENSE to approximately the same voltage as REFIN. If the error amplifier output is low, the PWM latch is continually reset and the high-side FET does not turn on. The low-side FET remains on until the VSENSE voltage decreases to a range that allows the PWM comparator to change states. The TPS54672 is capable of sinking current continuously until the output reaches the regulation set-point. www.ti.com SLVS397C - JULY 2001 - REVISED FEBRUARY 2005 If the current limit comparator trips for longer than 100 ns, the PWM latch resets before the PWM ramp exceeds the error amplifier output. The high-side FET turns off and low-side FET on to decrease the output current. This process is repeated each cycle in which the current limit comparator is tripped. Dead-Time Control and MOSFET Drivers Adaptive dead-time control prevents shoot-through current from flowing in both N-channel power MOSFETs during the switching transitions by actively controlling the turnon times of the MOSFET drivers. The high-side driver does not turn on until the gate drive voltage to the low-side FET is below 2 V, while the low-side driver does not turn on until the voltage at the junction of the power MOSFETs (PH pin) is below 2 V. The high-side and low-side drivers are designed with 300-mA source and sink capability to quickly drive the power MOSFETs gates. The low-side driver is supplied from VIN, while the high-side drive is supplied from the BOOT pin. A bootstrap circuit uses an external BOOT capacitor and internal 2.5- bootstrap switch connected between the VIN and BOOT pins. The bootstrap switch is turned on when the low-side FET is on to charge the BOOT capacitor. The low resistance of the bootstrap switch improves drive efficiency and reduces external component count. Overcurrent Protection The cycle by cycle current limiting is achieved using a sense-FET on the high-side MOSFET and differential amplifier with preset overcurrent threshold. The high-side MOSFET is turned off within 200 ns of the voltage on the sense-FET exceeding the current limit threshold. A 100-ns leading edge blanking circuit prevents false tripping of the current limit when the high-side switch is turning on. Current limit detection occurs only when current flows from VIN to PH when current is being sourced to the output filter. Load protection during current sink operation is provided by thermal shutdown. Thermal Shutdown Thermal shutdown turns off the power MOSFETs and disables the control circuits if the junction temperature exceeds the 150C. The device is released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature decreases to 10C, and starts up under control of the slow-start circuit. Status (STATUS) The status pin is an open drain output that indicates when internal conditions are sufficient for proper operation. STATUS can be coupled back to a system controller or monitor circuit to indicate that the termination or tracking regulator is ready for start up. STATUS is high impedance when the TPS54672 is operating or ready to be enabled. STATUS is active low if any of the following occur: D VIN < UVLO threshold D VBIAS or internal reference have not settled. D Thermal shutdown is active. 13 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 30-Apr-2011 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing Pins Package Qty Eco Plan (2) Lead/ Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (3) TPS54672PWP ACTIVE HTSSOP PWP 28 50 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPS54672PWPG4 ACTIVE HTSSOP PWP 28 50 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPS54672PWPR ACTIVE HTSSOP PWP 28 2000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPS54672PWPRG4 ACTIVE HTSSOP PWP 28 2000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR Samples (Requires Login) (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
