Output Filter and Loop Stability

The TPS629210 is internally compensated to be stable with a range of L-C filter combinations. The LC output filters inductance and capacitance have to be considered together, creating a double pole, responsible for the corner frequency of the converter using Equation 13.

Equation 13. GUID-885EAF52-DD0C-4083-A83E-7604F20F903B-low.gif

Table 9-3 can be used to simplify the output filter component selection. The values in Table 9-3 are nominal values, and the effective capacitance was considered to be +20% and –50%. Different values can work, but care has to be taken on the loop stability which is affected. More information on the sizing of the LC filter of a DCS-Control regulator can be found in the Optimizing the TPS62130/40/50/60 Output Filter Application Note.

Table 9-3 Recommended LC Output Filter Combinations
4.7 µF 10 µF 22 µF 47 µF 100 µF 200 µF
1 µH(3)(4) (2)
1.5 µH (2)
2.2 µH (1) (2)
3.3 µH
4.7 µH (2)
This LC combination is the standard value and recommended for most applications.
Output capacitance needs to have an ESR of ≥ 10 mΩ for stable operation. See Section 9.3.1.
Not recommended for 1-MHz operation
At full load, ILpeak can exceed ILIM_HS at higher input or output voltages.

Although the TPS629210 is stable without the pole and zero being in a particular location, an external feedforward capacitor can also be added to adjust their location based on the specific needs of the application. This can provide better performance in power save mode, improved transient response, or both.

A more detailed discussion on the optimization for stability versus transient response can be found in the Optimizing Transient Response of Internally Compensated DC-DC Converters Application Note and Feedforward Capacitor to Improve Stability and Bandwidth of TPS621/821-Family Application Note.
