8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS54628 is designed to provide up to a 6-A output current from an input voltage source ranging from 4.5 V to 18 V. The output voltage is configurable from 0.76 V to 5.5 V. A simplified design procedure for a 1.05-V output is shown in Figure 12.
8.2 Typical Application

8.2.1 Design Requirements
To begin the design process, the user must know the following application parameters:
- Input voltage range
- Output voltage
- Output current
- Output voltage ripple
- Input voltage ripple
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Output Voltage Resistors Selection
The output voltage is set with a resistor divider from the output node to the VFB pin. TI recommends using 1% tolerance or better divider resistors. Start by using Equation 3 to calculate VOUT.
To improve efficiency at light loads consider using larger value resistors, high resistance is more susceptible to noise, and the voltage errors from the VFB input current are more noticeable.
8.2.2.2 Output Filter Selection
The output filter used with the TPS54628 is an LC circuit. This LC filter has double pole at Equation 4.
At low frequencies, the overall loop gain is set by the output setpoint resistor divider network and the internal gain of the TPS54628. The low frequency phase is 180 degrees. At the output filter pole frequency, the gain rolls off at a –40 dB per decade rate and the phase drops rapidly. D-CAP2 introduces a high frequency zero that reduces the gain roll off to –20 dB per decade and increases the phase to 90 degrees one decade above the zero frequency. The inductor and capacitor selected for the output filter must be selected so that the double pole of Equation 4 is located below the high frequency zero, but close enough that the phase boost provided be the high frequency zero provides adequate phase margin for a stable circuit. To meet this requirement, use the values recommended in Table 1.

Because the DC gain is dependent on the output voltage, the required inductor value increases as the output voltage increases. Additional phase boost can be achieved by adding a feedforward capacitor (C4) in parallel with R1. The feedforward capacitor is most effective for output voltages at or above 1.8 V.
The inductor peak-to-peak ripple current, peak current and RMS current are calculated using Equation 5, Equation 6, and Equation 7. The inductor saturation current rating must be greater than the calculated peak current and the RMS or heating current rating must be greater than the calculated RMS current. Use 700 kHz for fSW.
Use 650 kHz for fSW. Make sure the chosen inductor is rated for the peak current of Equation 6 and the RMS current of Equation 7.
For this design example, the calculated peak current is 6.51 A and the calculated RMS current is 6.01 A. The inductor used is a TDK SPM6530-1R5M100 with a peak current rating of 11.6 A and an RMS current rating of
11 A.
The capacitor value and ESR determines the amount of output voltage ripple. The TPS54628 is intended for use with ceramic or other low-ESR capacitors. TI recommends the value range from 22 µF to 68 µF. Use Equation 8 to determine the required RMS current rating for the output capacitor.
For this design two TDK C3216X5R0J226M 22-µF output capacitors are used. The typical ESR is 2 mΩ each. The calculated RMS current is 0.284 A and each output capacitor is rated for 4 A.
8.2.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
The TPS54628 requires an input decoupling capacitor and a bulk capacitor is required depending on the application. TI recommends using a ceramic capacitor over 10 µF for the decoupling capacitor. An additional
0.1-µF capacitor (C3) from pin 8 to ground is optional to provide additional high-frequency filtering. The capacitor voltage rating must be greater than the maximum input voltage.
8.2.2.4 Bootstrap Capacitor Selection
A 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VBST to SW pin for proper operation. TI recommends using a ceramic capacitor.
8.2.2.5 VREG5 Capacitor Selection
A 1-µF ceramic capacitor must be connected between the VREG5 to GND pin for proper operation. TI recommends using a ceramic capacitor.
